¡¶The rise of the late Qing Dynasty¡· Text Chapter 1 Southwest Frontier I have read a lot of online novels and learned a lot of knowledge, but the biggest objection is that many novels have too many typos and even some have missing paragraphs, which is really intolerable. This is also one of the reasons why I want to write novels. I don¡¯t want readers to endure it anymore, so I have to revise it more than three times for every chapter I write. Even so, mistakes are inevitable. So I also understand how difficult it is to write novels, so for some authors The requirements are no longer so high. But I still have to be strict with myself. My original intention is to show it to the children. My stuff is a classic and can¡¯t go wrong. Sometimes my grandchildren also have to take a second look at whatever they propose. I will also add some. It can be regarded as a kind of training for them. Let them have some interest in writing. Without further ado, let¡¯s get started. There is a naturally formed small basin in the deep mountains of southwest China. The feng shui here is really good, even if people who don¡¯t know anything come here and take a look, they will think that there is a mystery here. There is a simple small camp here built near the mountains and rivers. There is a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right. There is a red bird in the front and a black basalt in the back. A group of ragged children were guarding an old man. The old man seemed to be over sixty years old. He looked at the group of children with a pair of absent-minded eyes. But when his eyes turned to a handsome and handsome child of about 16 or 17 years old, he There was light in his eyes and a look of relief on his face. He felt that everything he did was worth it. The old man stretched out his hand, and the child obediently stretched out his hand, letting the old man fumble with the child's hand and resting on the old man's hand. The old man panted and said to him: "Xiao Wu'er! From now on, all of us can only count on you. You must take care of them." The child whom the old man called Xiao Wu nodded at the old man and said Said: "Grandpa, I will definitely keep your words in mind. I will definitely lead my brothers to create a new world." The old man looked at the other children and said to them: "You must always follow Xiaowuzi. Only by following him can you be there." "Grandpa, we must remember your words." "You must always remember that you are all Han people. We are the greatest nation in the world and the most populous nation. Although we have thousands of years of history and culture. Now it is being bullied by foreigners, but one day it will become stronger." After saying that, the old man was tired and closed his eyes. He wanted to take a rest. Xiaowu is just a teenager, just like other children. He is just wearing tattered clothes, but his spirit, spirit and spirit are much more mature than other children of the same age. He is not immature at all. He was not originally from this society. In modern terms, he was a time traveler. His real name was Li Zhenhua, and the era he lived in was already the 21st century. As a soldier of the special forces, during a confrontation with a foreign enemy, in order to cover his brothers and board a helicopter to return home, he turned around and rushed towards the enemy's own The last grenade made several guys fly into the air with him. In the air, he saw that his brothers were already taking off their hats to mourn him. He wanted to say something to his brothers, but he found that he couldn't make a sound unless he made a sound. When I looked down, I saw that where I was standing just now was a deep pit. Li Zhenhua felt like he was flying towards the east. Although he was not flying fast, he was very tired. Finally, when he saw some people, he felt relieved and came down. But he didn't know that he had entered another time and space. Li Zhenhua suffered from a headache and felt very uncomfortable, but he finally woke up. Most of the time-travel characters in the starting point have countless money and beautiful women. They can be high-ranking officials, princes or even emperors. Their lives were absolutely comfortable, but they themselves were very miserable. Just look at the surrounding situation. I know that although the landscape is nice, the people I see are all dressed in rags. From the braids on people's heads, you can tell that this is the Qing Dynasty. Several fifteen-year-old and sixteen-year-old children were guarding Li Zhenhua. Some called him and themselves: "Little Five Sons" and some called: "Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother." It seems that they are also some fifteen-year-olds. , six children. Seeing that he was awake, an elderly man came over to see that he was about sixty years old. He was very thin and his clothes were in tatters, but his spirit was very good. He stretched out his hand and gave it to him. After checking his pulse for a while, a solemn look appeared on his face. The old man took the water handed by a child and gave it to him to drink. Then he asked softly: "My child, you are really hanging. If you hadn't fallen into a tree, you would be dead. Okay." It's okay now. Have a good sleep. You just have some skin injuries and bones. It will be fine soon." The child nodded and closed his eyes again and began to rest. He had to seriously consider the current situation. The time should be now. At the end of the Qing Dynasty because of theirIt can be seen from the clothes worn by the children that their clothes are various, including military uniforms of the Qing Dynasty and red coats of the French army. A black flag is leaning against a tree in the distance. Although it is not opened, it can be seen that they are very The cherished trees here are all tropical rainforest plants. This should be in Guangxi or Yunnan, China. How did it end up here? Moreover, he borrowed the body of a young man and was resurrected. However, everything about this young man was still vague to him. So he had to pretend to have amnesia or explain everything about himself. He also thought about his previous life. In his previous life, he was just an orphan and was adopted by a veteran cadre of the army. Because he had the idea of ??repaying his gratitude in his heart, even though none of the old man's biological children became real soldiers, he himself He was the pride of his adoptive father. Whether it was his academic performance in school, he was always among the best in the class. Every Sunday, he would go to his father's armory to play, where he spent his teenage life. He learned more there than at school. Learned a lot. Later, when he grew up, his father would send him to the grassroots army for training during two holidays every year through connections. This made the neighbors who knew that he was adopted did not understand him, but he himself felt that it was very suitable for him. He just liked shooting there. When he was a kid, he would watch the adults repairing the guns and then calibrating them. When he got older, he started shooting. He got a ten ring for the first time. When the adults looked at him, they seemed to be. The workers who were born to shoot guns and some cadres and soldiers who came to repair the guns were very curious. The boy who was only a teenager could shoot a gun and he was very good at it. So they let him fire a few rounds. By the time he was fifteen, his marksmanship had already improved. It was so good that he once even tied with the shooting champion of the military region. When the commander of the military region at the time heard about it, the guards called him directly. He wanted to see with his own eyes how this kid could compete with his own top shooting skills. Several jeeps rushed into the shooting range of the military area. There was a burst of gunfire. The chest ring targets at 100 meters were all 100 rings. The first round was a tie at 200 meters. The commander was a little confused. He finally asked someone to shoot the target. At the 500-meter mark, Li Zhenhua lost by two rings. The old general saw it and said: "Good boy, you are born to be a soldier. You can join the army here." But Li Zhenhua said to the old general: "Commander, I still want to go to school." "Well, then you can come. Go to the Infantry Command College." He immediately ordered him to go through the admission procedures. During his several years of military school life, Li Zhenhua still spent his holidays dealing with his father's ordnance shop. He could repair infantry weapons, rifles, grenades, and mortars. It only took tens of seconds to quickly disassemble and install a pistol while blindfolded. Sometimes those old military workers would ask him if they had something to do. In the end, he graduated with honors. Commander, he established the army's first special force in the military region. He was fortunate to be a member of this force and became a sharp weapon of the squadron, whether it was war, counter-terrorism, or handling emergencies. The special forces led by him have completed their tasks outstandingly and have also trained a large number of special warfare talents for the entire military region. When he came here, he just knew that the people here were very amiable and lovely, and there were not so many intrigues. The relationships between people were very harmonious, people trusted each other, and people only cared about him as a "child" like him. But there was no doubt or distrust at all. A few days later, Xiao Wuzi, who lost his memory, returned to his friends and was still the same Xiao Wuzi. However, their "grandpa" discovered that the current Xiao Wuzi was very different from the original one. After this fall, Xiao Wuzi was less talkative than before. However, his thoughts are much more meticulous than before. He doesn't have to worry about little things anymore. Xiao Wuzi has already thought of everything for him. Whether it is cultural studies or military training, he has made great progress than before. His views on some things are even better than before. I still have to look far deeper. Grandpa was very happy to see the changes in Xiaowuzi. When he got older, these children could be led by him. No one knew about their camp. Later, Li Zhenhua learned that this base was established by the famous anti-French national hero Liu Yongfu to arrange for the children of his comrades who died in the battle against the French and Qing armies. He entrusted some of his old brothers to manage them. Some of these old brothers were proficient in poetry and books, and some were highly skilled in martial arts. He led several brothers who were physically disabled to take care of these children, so that they could have no problem in their lives. At the same time, we should also enable them to conduct some cultural studies and also teach them martial arts to train them from an early age. Text Chapter 2 Anger Chapter 2 Anger Later, after Liu Yongfu led his troops back to China, due to the large-scale dismantling of the Black Flag Army by the Qing government, there were only more than 300 people left, and Liu Yongfu went to the Black Flag Army on Nan'ao Island in eastern Guangdong, which was relatively far away. Most of the original camps have slowly disappeared over time. Only a few have been preserved due to the better ability of the managers, but because they are not under each other's control, they have no contact with each other. On this day, grandpa went to the mountain to collect medicine again. He was too old and accidentally fell down the mountain. When the old man saw that he had no time left, he had to tell Xiaowuzi about his funeral. After Xiao Wuzi settled the old man, he gathered his little brothers together. Now the severe test has come. It turns out that because of the old people taking care of them, their life is not very good, but life can still be guaranteed. With those old people, Their lives have become more and more difficult as their lives have become more and more difficult. Food has long been gone. Now their grandfather fell down from the mountain while collecting medicine for them and they now have to solve the problem of eating by themselves. A dozen children sat around and looked at Xiaowuzi. He was the backbone in their hearts. Usually when they were together, Xiaowuzi was very independent in whatever he did. He was the best in learning culture and practicing martial arts. Xiaowuzi looked at everyone and said to everyone: "Today our grandfather was injured in a fall. He is getting older. We can no longer expect him to take care of us. We must let him live a happy old age." The eldest brother and the children all said to him who called Brother Niu: "Little Wuzi, just say it. We all listen to you." Others also said together: "Little Wuzi, just say it." The younger ones He also said: "Brother Wu, we, the younger ones, all listen to you." Xiao Wuzi thought about it and said, "Well, we don't have anything to eat now. I think we can't just wait until the corn on the mountain is ripe. Let's divide the work. Brother Hu, take a few young ones and pack them up and go to the mountains to see if you can catch some game. Third brother, take a few people to dig wild vegetables. Everyone, please be careful and make sure nothing happens again. The two of you will be guarding Grandpa, me and the eldest brother. Let¡¯s go down the mountain with the medicinal materials to see if we can get something else to eat.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Brother Niu said to everyone, ¡°Let¡¯s go to work separately as Xiao Wuzi said.¡± Xiao Wuzi and I will go down the mountain immediately. The children in charge of the hunting group began to prepare their weapons, which were all homemade bows, arrows and knives. They dug wild vegetables and prepared some baskets. Then they started their work. Xiao Wuzi and Brother Niu went down the mountain with daggers on their bodies. In fact, their sizes are not true, they are sorted by age. For example, Xiao Wuzi was the fifth person when he came to them, and there are a few who are smaller and ranked at the back. The two of them went down the mountain and came to a mountain road. They wanted to go down the mountain to beg for food. The medicinal materials they brought could not be exchanged for anything. Grandpa is old and cannot eat wild vegetables all the time. He must eat some grain. Even if he can get some Thin ones are fine too. After leaving the dense forest, we came to a small road. One end of this small road led to a small town. The other end, Brother Niu, said it led to foreign countries. Xiaowuzi knew that it was either Vietnam or Myanmar. They had no choice but to walk towards the small town. It was already noon. The two of them walked quickly towards the town, but they didn't go far when they heard the sound of a little girl crying. The two of them looked forward and saw a girl crying not far away. The two walked over and saw an older woman lying naked in a pool of blood. Next to her were two torn clothes. The woman had already died. The girl's clothes were also torn. Only her top could barely cover her body. When she saw the two of them coming over, she was so frightened that she stopped crying. She stared at them in panic with her big eyes and took off her top in a hurry. After covering the dead man, the boss also took off his shirt and threw it to the girl. Seeing the girl tidy up, Xiao Wuzi asked fiercely: "Who did this?" The girl saw their actions and knew that they were not bad people. She sobbed and said to them that their mother and daughter lived in the nearby mountains and had nothing to eat at home. Yes, they went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, but three foreigners passing by asked them for directions. When they saw that no one was nearby, they raped her mother and then killed her when they saw that she was still a child. He tortured her and then let her go. After listening to the little girl's story, Xiao Wuzi's anger was already on his forehead. He asked with a dark face: "How long have they been walking?" The little girl said: "It has been a while." "Where are they walking? "The little girl pointed her finger to the other end of the path and Xiao Wuzi said to the boss: "Brother Niu, just wait for me and I will go find them to settle the account." Upon hearing this, the boss hurriedly grabbed Xiao Wuzi and said, "No.?You can't defeat three adults by yourself. Xiaowuzi waved his hand and said to the boss: "Don't worry about me. I'll be back before dark." "Xiao Wuzi said in his heart that the three of them are thirty people. As long as they dare to bully us Chinese, I will never let them go. He was about to pass another short knife and said to the boss: "Wait for me. "Turn around and chased down the path. "On the way, Xiao Wuzi simply ate some wild vegetables and fruits. He was walking forward hard because he was focused on the fire, but he didn't feel tired. From time to time on the roadside, he found someone who had just passed by and left behind. It was already past noon. Xiaowuzi felt a little tired, but he still persisted. Suddenly, he found a few horses grazing under the tree on the roadside in front of him. Someone was sleeping next to him. Xiaowuzi thought, I can go and ask them. He looked to see if the three foreigners had passed by here, but the further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong, because he found that they were three people, and they were not Chinese because their skin was white, their hair was yellow, and there were some blood stains on their clothes. Said: Okay, I finally caught up with you. Xiaowuzi said in his heart: "Good boy, let alone the three of you, no matter how many of you are in the hands of the Chinese special forces, I will let you know the harm done to us Chinese today. . "In Li Zhenhua's eyes, they are already dead. But if they are sleeping, they are even more dead. Text Chapter 4 A great harvest Chapter 4: A great harvest. Xiaowuzi promised him to come out from his grandfather's place. Xiaowuzi came to his pile of trophies. He wanted to take a closer look at what the French and British had. The little brothers had already put them together. Those things were divided into categories, weapons and other things were put together, food was put together, and the rest were some papers, ores, etc. They thought they were useless. They originally planned to throw them away, but Xiao Wuzi was like that But they put the most useful things together and waited for him to deal with them. But these were the things that Xiao Wuzi wanted, and these were the main things in their luggage. Xiaowuzi took a look at their things. The three pistols attracted him. All three pistols were 65mm pistols produced in Belgium. They were still very new. The ammunition capacity was six rounds. The other three long guns were German Mauser guns. The horse next to me had a lot of bullets in it. The little boy said in his heart that this would be the capital for us to make a fortune in the future. He packed up their marching pots and stoves and asked the brothers to put them away. Then he began to look through their luggage. There were many things in it. There were some banknotes from the Qing Dynasty's "Tong Qingfeng" bank. He counted about six thousand three hundred. There are also some foreign Yingyang, there are two or three hundred coins. With this money, life will be no problem for a period of time. In addition, he also dug out some telescopes, pocket watches, daggers, maps and other things that were useful. There are also some ores in their luggage. Although I am not an expert, I can tell that the content of these sparkling ores is still very high. They are not only iron ore but also some rare metals. They made a mark on it to indicate where it was found. He dug out some of their documents. Now the three of them knew that two were French and one was British. He only knew French briefly and was not proficient in English. It would be better to have an English diary. After putting it there, Xiaowuzi picked him up and opened the diary and started to read: "Today is Christmas. After a period of preparation, we are about to set off. Our destination is the mountains and forests in the southwest of the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Qing Dynasty. They don't know what we are going to do. Our destination is to search and investigate the distribution of mineral deposits. As Her Majesty's subjects, we have the responsibility to serve our empire on which the sun never sets and discover more and greater benefits " "This is a magical land. Its scenery is so beautiful. Compared to the cold places in Northern Europe, I don't want to go back. When we start to develop this land in the future, I will build a villa here and then let it go." A group of Indians and Chinese came to be my slaves. I want to enjoy all this wonderful things" "The resources here are so rich that it is beyond my expectation. There are a lot of iron, copper, aluminum, and nickel. When it comes to mineral resources, I seem to see the Royal Navy of our British Empire breaking through the waves. Among them is the steel I provided for our British Empire. Haha! Now I am rich" "This is already their spring. The mission has been completed and I will go back soon. For the sake of our British Empire, I will definitely come back. When I come back, it will be the time for me to show off my skills." "We celebrated happily in the small town on the border. Although there is no red wine or champagne here, the Chinese wine is also very good, but the wine is a bit stronger. My two French colleagues drank too much" "On the way back, we went to meet two Chinese people who looked like mother and daughter. They asked us for directions and then turned around and left. The three of us had not touched a woman for several months. My two French companions and I saw the woman's beautiful appearance and couldn't hold it in any longer. So we vented our joy on the roadside. After a while, it felt so wonderful. Her fierce resistance made us rise even more. We were really torturing her until she finally died. We didn't stop. If it weren't for the fact that the little girl was too weak, we wouldn't have let her go. Her two Frenchmen didn¡¯t forget to give their hands a good shake. In half a day, we can reach Annan, where the French will be. We can return to Europe soon" "These days. What a beast!" Xiao Wuzi cursed fiercely. Xiaowuzi took out their maps again. Some were printed and some were drawn by hand, which clearly marked the distribution of mineral resources. Xiaowuzi wrapped them carefully and found a place to store them carefully. Then he lay down and started to rest. But what about the future? It still kept him tossing and turning, unable to sleep until late at night before he had a general idea. In the morning, the sound of brothers getting up to practice martial arts woke up Xiao Wuzi. He got up and looked at his little brothers who were practicing martial arts in the distance. Usually, he was the first one to get up because he was too tired yesterday and didn't sleep well all night. Didn't get up. Now is the spring of 1890, which is the catastrophe for the Chinese nation.In times of crisis, the great powers of various countries are eyeing the Chinese nation. The most important thing is that the neighbor to the east wants to make China their colony all of a sudden. Now that we have come to this era, we have no choice but to continue to fight against them. This is every Chinese Human Responsibility. If you want to make your country strong, you can only take the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but this is not easy. The corrupt and backward Qing government will have to work hard if it wants to change all this. The only ones he could rely on now were his little brothers. He immediately came to the place where martial arts was practiced, called a few older ones together, and came to the shack where they lived. A few people started to study the next move, and a few others just looked at each other. Everyone looked at Xiaowuzi and everyone listened to him. Xiaowuzi had no choice but to tell everyone what he was thinking. Since we killed foreigners, they will definitely come to take revenge on us. They may not be able to find us, but the common people at the foot of the mountain But disaster is about to happen, so we must find a way to deal with them. First, we must find people from other camps to strengthen our strength. At the same time, we must start arduous training and be ready to fight them anytime and anywhere. When going to contact people in other camps, let Niu Ge go because he has been to some camps before and find him a companion. Xiao Wuzi will be responsible for the training of other people. Text Chapter 3 One-on-three Chapter 3 is based on one-to-three (Dear readers and friends, because I am not familiar with the new layout of Qidian, so I posted the wrong chapter. I mistakenly posted Chapter 4 as Chapter 3. I apologize to everyone here and will add it immediately. (Additional Chapter of Punishment.) Xiao Wuzi leaned down and touched the three people. They never dreamed that someone would attack them. They were having their sweet dreams. He pulled out his short knife and touched the person closest to him. She covered his mouth with her left hand and used a knife on his neck with her right hand. The foreign devil's throat was severed and blood spurted out. He kicked his legs a few times and stopped moving. Okay, Xiaowuzi's eyes were fixed on the next target, but the two people were too close, and the noise just now had woken up a foreign devil. He had already sat up and looked over here. When he saw his The blood flowing out of the partner's neck shouted: "Ah" His shout faded, and Xiao Wuzi had already arrived in front of him. A white light flashed across his neck and blood began to spurt out. Xiao Wuzi, who had not eaten well for a long time, felt that he was out of energy, but the last foreign devil had already stretched his hand towards the short gun on his waist. Without any hesitation, Xiao Wuzi jumped up and kicked the foreign devil in the chest with one foot. The foreign devil hurriedly kicked back with his legs and had already pulled out his gun. Xiao Wuzi knew that his short knife was no match for the pistol. He hurriedly threw the knife towards his pistol and the knife and pistol flew out at the same time. The foreign devil also understood at this time. Two of my friends who came here died in the hands of a Chinese kid. Now both of them have no weapons. The guy rolled on the spot and kneeled on the ground with one leg. His body jumped forward and two long arms hugged him. Xiao Wuzi was tired and hungry. Xiao Wuzi was hugged by him before he could dodge. The foreign Japanese rushed forward and Xiao Wuzi was pressed under his body. He pressed Xiao Wuzi's neck with one hand and gave Xiao Wuzi a hard blow with the other. Quan Xiaowuzi felt his head buzzing and fainted. Not only did he have a headache, but the lower part of his body was also hurting. He suddenly remembered that there was a knife in his waist. At this time, the foreign devil's second punch hit Xiaowuzi again. He hurriedly protected his head with his left hand, pulled out the short knife with his right hand, and stabbed the foreigner's waist fiercely. He did not forget to stir him again. The foreign devil screamed in pain and he had no strength to attack Xiao Wuzi anymore. Xiao Wuzi continued to push the knife upward. The foreign devil was only trembling in pain. Xiao Wuzi took out the knife and pushed him away hard and stood up. There was a tree nearby just for him to lean against. The foreign devil asked him in blunt Chinese: "Who are you?" When Xiao Wuzi heard this, he was amused and immediately replied: "What's the matter? I am a Chinese." When the foreign devil heard this, he immediately said : "How can you kill us French people? We have diplomatic immunity. This is approved by your emperor." "Fart! Don't you know that killing people pays for their lives?" "No, we didn't kill anyone." "We didn't kill anyone? You still have to "You said you didn't rape?" "That's not what happened to me, it was the two of them." "Don't bother asking me what you did." "We are French people who came here to explore." The sign is scaring people. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Xiao Wuzi thought to himself, don't be wordy. I'm not a judge, and I won't interrogate you. I just know that killing someone is enough to pay for your life. So the knife in his hand suddenly swung out and was directly inserted into his neck. The foreign devil's hand wanted to pull out the knife. But before his hand could be raised, he fell down. Xiaowuzi was also exhausted. His body slid down the trunk of the tree, and his head felt even more painful. After sitting and resting for a while, he took their water bottle and drank some water. He started to look through their backpack again. There was food in it. He took two bites. When he thought about his grandfather waiting for him on the mountain, he stopped eating. He stopped eating. He said to himself: "This damn French bread is not delicious." Each of them had two horses. Those horses were tied together by them. None of them left. He packed up all the belongings of the three people. Good weapons include pistols, spears and machetes, as well as some food, tents, etc. He was busy there, and the boss and the little girl had also found them. They looked at the three dead people on the ground and the blood stains on his body, which really frightened the two of them. But seeing Xiaowuzi busy, the two of them felt relieved. It would be much faster if the three of them were working together. Xiaowuzi said: "Dig a hole and bury them." The boss said: "Don't worry about them and let them feed them." Go to the wolf." "No, you have to bury her so that they think she is missing." "Brother Niu, why doesn't this little girl go home?" "There is no one at home.?Come with us. We have already buried her mother. " Xiaowuzi thought for a moment and said, "Is there no one at home? Then she is an orphan like us, so let her go with us. The family must be waiting impatiently. "Three people, six horses, and three devils, one for each and one for carrying things. They got on the horses and walked towards their camp on the mountain. Because of the horses, they were much faster. They returned after dark. In his own camp, Xiaowuzi asked his brothers to pack up their things and cook some porridge for his grandfather with the food from the foreigners. He then hurried to see his grandfather. When he arrived at the hut, the two children who were guarding his grandfather hurriedly told him. Grandpa said that Brother Xiao Wu was back. Xiao Wuzi knelt down in front of Grandpa and saw that he was back. Grandpa opened his eyes and said to Xiao Wuzi, "Back?" " "We are back, grandpa, how do you feel? " "I'll be fine as long as I come back. " Xiaowuzi told his grandfather in detail about today's descent. When he talked about those foreigners, his grandfather's eyes widened. He said to himself: "These French guys will never forget our great land. ah. " Hearing what Grandpa said, the other children didn't understand what was going on, but Xiaowuzi nodded. Grandpa saw that Xiaowuzi had understood and stopped talking. After Xiaowuzi finished explaining the matter, Grandpa waved his hand to let the children They left and he said to Xiaowuzi: "What do you think of this matter? " Xiao Wuzi was not in a hurry to answer what his grandfather said. He was considering that as a person who had traveled through time, he knew about this historical situation. The Qing government at that time had no way to do it. But as himself and such old and weak people, there was no way he could deal with France. What should we do if people are fighting? Now we should really think about it. Now that we have arrived in this society, we must fulfill our responsibilities and never let the weak and incompetent Qing government betray our interests. We must never let those foreigners continue. Thinking of this, he said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, we must find a way to stop them now. If it doesn't work, we must also disrupt their actions. We cannot let them do whatever they want in our land. Do whatever you want. Grandpa nodded and said, "Then what do you want to do?" " Xiaowuzi thought for a moment and said: "This matter should not be difficult to handle. Only a small number of their people can come over. It is impossible to send a large force over. If that happens, it will cause diplomatic disputes. If they have fewer people, we can find a way to help them. They create trouble. " After hearing what he said, Grandpa couldn't help but stare at Xiao Wuzi. "Good boy, just do what you say. That's all. It's not possible to rely on the weak Qing government. Those people bully the people. It's okay. It's over when we see foreigners. But to fight them, we are not enough. We need to find more talents. You can just decide what to do from now on. You don¡¯t have to tell me everything. I know you are angry. Just don¡¯t forget that you are Chinese at any time. " Text Chapter 5 The way forward Chapter 5 The way forward After breakfast, Brother Niu and a brother set off. They were going to the surrounding areas to find the same camp. Zhao Hongyan prepared some dry food for them to eat on the way. Xiao Wuzi also told them to pay attention. Then he called the other brothers together and began to talk to everyone: "We are all a group of orphans. Grandpa and his friends brought us up, but we can never forget who made us orphans? Who made us orphans?" We have lost our relatives since we were young? It¡¯s those hateful French and those officials of the Qing Dynasty. We must avenge our relatives, but if we want to take revenge, we must have the ability. We can¡¯t just say revenge. Then we need real swords. We have to fight them with real guns. But now we are not good enough and we can't beat them. But after hard training, we will definitely be able to defeat them. I am telling you this today just to encourage each of us to be motivated from today on. After training hard, we have to look further. We not only want to avenge ourselves, but also avenge everyone else, and avenge those who have been harmed by them." After the mobilization, Xiaowuzi and his brothers began to have a hard time. He knows that just practicing martial arts is not enough. There are many flashy things to practice, so just practice one move to defeat the enemy without any pretense. At the same time, for the training plan, Li Zhenhua took the lead and removed his braids and shaved his head. He laughed in his heart and said, "I have become a star now, but this hair style has a sensational effect. All my brothers shaved their heads together." Now the main thing is to improve everyone's physical fitness. It turns out that because everyone's food can't keep up with the amount of training, now we have to start from actual combat, which is different from the original. In order to keep up with the physical fitness, the first thing is to enable the brothers to be able to Just eat well and be full. But now there is no problem in keeping my little brothers well fed. With these few thousand taels of silver, I can eat for a few years. In the meantime, I will find a way to hack a few French people. It would be enough for a corrupt official to get rid of those bandits who specialize in harming others. Firstly, they can eliminate harm for the common people. Secondly, it can also increase some expenses. At this time, Xiaowuzi didn't have any lofty ideals. Now he can only sit on the donkey and read the songbook and wait and see. Xiaowuzi knows a lot about his brothers. Their cultural level is that they only learned some Three-Character Classics and so on, which can only be said to be literacy. They have never learned anything about mathematics. If they are talking about martial arts, they are better than ordinary people. The children are much stronger because they have planned since they were young that when they grow up, they will go to the front line against the French. In the future, we must do everything possible to allow everyone to engage in cultural learning. Just relying on our own strength will not work. Therefore, Xiaowuzi stipulated that there should be a certain amount of time for cultural learning every day. After buying a batch of food from the mountain, he asked people to pay attention to the food matching. First, everyone should be full and well-fed, and then they could carry out high-intensity military training. The real training began. Each of them had their legs tied. The sandbags cannot be removed whether running or jumping. At the beginning, Xiaowuzi asked everyone to go on a long-distance march. It was twenty miles (Huali) at the beginning. He said to everyone while running: "Pay attention to your breathing and don't breathe too fast. Don't be too slow and control your speed." After running down the twenty-mile mountain road, each of the little brothers' faces changed and they were panting, but everyone said that they would train well so that they would not fall behind others. After taking a break, we practiced Sanda in pairs. Xiaowuzi said to everyone: "You sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war." Of course, he also sparred with everyone. The original martial arts performance has also turned into a sparring match between two people, mainly based on Sanda. Of course, Xiao Wuzi is also in the sparring ranks, but it usually takes four or five people to fight with him. One person can fight with him. You won't get any advantage by beating him. He told everyone all the grappling techniques and Sanda methods that he could memorize, so that everyone could learn and train to master the essentials, which is to defeat the enemy with one move and not to show off. After lunch, I do push-ups to practice arm strength, sit-ups to practice abdominal muscles, and frog jumps to practice leg muscles. Then take a break and finally practice shooting a few Mausers, which have become treasures. Everyone is rushing to use those front-loaded matchlock guns. No one wants the second-hand gun. But in the basic training of shooting, Xiao Wuzi also has his own tricks. Those old-fashioned guns were used to hang rocks in front for the brothers to practice arm strength and stability. Since there were not enough weapons, Xiao Wuzi did not forget to let his brothers practice swords and bows and arrows. At night, you still need to carry out physical training and necessary training for night operations. More than ten days later, some brothers came one after another from other bases. Now there were seventy or eighty people in the base. Xiaowuzi reorganized all the people, and more than forty of them were divided into three combat teams and re-appointed. There are three team captains. The first team leader is Brother Niu. Xiao Wuzi feels that theyThe name was not good and suggested that he change his name. Brother Niu smiled and asked: "So what is your name?" Xiao Wuzi said: "I will be called Li Zhenhua from now on." Brother Niu said: "Then I will be just like you. I want a Chinese character." Xiao Wuzi said, "What's your surname?" Brother Niu said, "I heard from grandpa that my original surname is Zhang." "Then you'll be called Zhang Xinghua." Liu Yongqiang and the third team leader¡¯s name is Wei Xiaohu. The remaining dozen people serve as the logistics team, and a girl is in charge. Her name is also the one newly given by Xiao Wuzi, Zhao Hongyan. Originally, her martial arts skills were much better than those of some boys, but because she is more attentive, she has to do some logistics work. It was more appropriate to give it to her, so I let her do the logistical support work. From now on, she and several girls will be responsible for all food supplies, money, grain, horses, etc. Those old people also held a meeting together and decided to set up an advisory committee according to Li Zhenhua's wishes to help Li Zhenhua make decisions. A new day begins. When Li Zhenhua and the four new captains appear in front of everyone, it also announces the beginning of their road to enriching the country and strengthening the army. The intense training began again. Text Chapter 6 The first battle against the Qing army The brothers who went down the mountain to purchase supplies came back and reported to Zhao Hongyan that there had been a lot of noise in the town recently. A team of officers and soldiers were stationed in the town. They seemed to be tracking down the disappearance of several foreigners. Zhao Hongyan immediately went to Li Zhenhua and told him about this. After hearing the news, Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "They are finally here. OK, I am waiting for you. I was afraid you wouldn't come." He and Zhao Hongyan said, "Find two smarter brothers and go down the mountain. After figuring out the situation, we will see what they plan to do and then we will find a way to deal with them." Zhao Hongyan agreed and immediately went back and arranged for two brothers to go down the mountain to understand the situation. It turns out that life in the mountain camp is very difficult and people don't often go down the mountain to buy things. But recently, because the brothers on the mountain have increased the intensity of training and Li Zhenhua has money, people go down the mountain more and more. When I bought more things, the volume of purchases from various merchants was also larger, so those who were interested took note of it. But the disappearance of three foreigners is not a trivial matter. The foreign authorities are keeping a close eye on the matter. The local government has also stepped up the search efforts. As a result, some rumors reached the government. They immediately sent officers and soldiers to arrest them. Fortunately, a few purchasers The brother was careful not to be caught by them, but the officers and soldiers probably knew that it was people from some camps of the Black Flag Army who did it. The officers and soldiers were also aware of the situation at the Black Flag Army's base, but since they had not made any major moves for a long time, the government turned a blind eye to it. But this time if something happened, they had to come. They arrested people, but they didn't know where the camp on the mountain was. They just heard from local people that it was in the mountains to the west. The leader of the team was always a Manchu man named He Bilong. He himself had no ability, and because he didn't send enough money to the superiors, he was sent to a remote place. It turned out that because he was far away from the capital, he was happy to be at ease down there, but this Once, because of a very important matter, his boss sent him out. He had more than a hundred soldiers under him. When he arrived in a small town called Queqiao, he asked some people and found no clues. Someone under him gave him a clue. The idea was to ask him to offer a reward of fifty taels of silver to anyone who tipped off the information. Someone must come forward to report the information, so that he could be rewarded for his meritorious service. As soon as the boy heard this, he immediately took action and had people post notices in the town to let everyone know about it. Two days later, someone secretly reported to him that there was a camp of the Black Flag Army in the northwest mountains. They had been coming down the mountain frequently recently to buy food and other things. The master was extremely happy when he heard this and immediately asked someone to give him twenty taels of silver. He then told him that after the person was caught, he would give him the remaining silver and let him lead the team and start heading towards the mountain early the next morning. Go arrest people. The brother who went down the mountain to understand the situation heard the news and hurried back to report to Li Zhenhua that the officers and soldiers were coming. When Li Zhenhua heard the news, he immediately considered the situation and asked Zhao Hongyan to call the other team captains. . Several team captains who were training hurriedly came when they heard that. Li Zhenhua hurriedly told everyone about the situation: "Officers and soldiers are coming to our place soon to arrest people. What should we do?" When he heard that the Qing army only had one hundred When there were many people, no one was afraid. Instead, they wanted to go down the mountain to fight with the Qing army. Especially the captain Zhang Xinghua immediately asked to fight with the enemy. Li Zhenhua was very happy to see that no one was afraid. He was very happy with several people. Said: "It's not worth fighting with them. We have to sacrifice the minimum in exchange for the greatest victory." Li Zhenhua immediately decided that the captain of the second squad, Liu Yongqiang, would lead 15 people to ambush the north of the enemy's road. The captain of the third squad, Wei Xiaohu, would lead 15 people on the enemy. Zhang Xinghua, the leader of the ambush team in the south of the road, led his team to let the enemy go. After that, he was responsible for blocking the enemy's retreat. Li Zhenhua led ten soldiers from other teams to block the hole. Each team has its soldiers prepare more bows and arrows. If the enemy dares to resist, use long-range shooting to avoid fighting with the enemy as much as possible. The enemy will always be captured alive. After handing over the combat mission, Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "This is our first battle. Everyone must obey orders. No one is allowed to expose himself without orders. Only after hearing orders can he attack the enemy. Those who violate orders are not allowed to act on their own and will be dealt with strictly." "The next morning, the soldiers had an early meal and then organized the team to enter the ambush position that they had already spotted. Li Zhenhua carefully looked at the concealment situation of each team and felt quite satisfied. He also gave Zhang Xinghua a few special instructions. Ju asked him to send two soldiers to observe the enemy's progress, and then walked to the back of the team. It was not until noon that more than a hundred Qing troops showed up. The soldiers in ambush couldn't help but become nervous because it was their first encounter with the enemy. Li Zhenhua took out the telescope he had captured from the French and looked into the distance. More than a hundred people lined up in a single column and walked towards here. The sparse queue was very long. Their weapons were five.?The eight gates have everything from broadswords, spears, birdsong, matchlocks, etc. Li Zhenhua, who was riding a horse with Sum Bilong, actually had someone holding an umbrella for him. What Li Zhenhua said in his heart: Can such a team still fight? It doesn't look like an army at all, but more like a group of common people going to the market. With such an army to defend their country, no one will be bullied by foreigners. Seeing the appearance of the Qing army, the soldiers relaxed a little. Seeing that their team was too long, Li Zhenhua moved his position to the back again. He found that Zhao Hongyan had also joined in with several soldiers from the logistics team at some point. Li Zhenhua glanced at her, Zhao Hongyan was a little afraid of him and hurriedly lowered her head. Li Zhenhua didn't say anything, just made a gesture to let her join the team. The girl immediately smiled happily and took her people to hide quickly. The enemy was getting closer and closer and finally entered our ambush. Li Zhenhua raised the gun in his hand. There was a gunshot. The enemy on horseback fell off his horse. A bullet hit him in the leg and it hurt him. The loud shouting and gunshots were the signal to start the attack. After a hail of arrows passed, the enemies were all lying on the ground. Text Chapter 7 The first battle against the Qing army (2) Chapter 7 The First Battle of the Qing Army (2) The hidden soldiers rushed out with weapons in hand. They held bows and arrows, swords, spears, and various pistols and rifles in their hands. Everyone shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed." !" Those Qing soldiers who had not been in battle for many years knelt on the ground and raised their weapons with both hands. Wei Xiaohu had already targeted the general and pushed him to the ground. The pistol was snatched away. The battle ended smoothly, all the enemy's weapons were collected and put together, and then the prisoners were divided into several groups. The soldiers and smokers were together, together with a few leaders, and the remaining ones were pleasing to the eye and relatively honest. Let the young and strong young men stand together. First, let the soldiers and heavy smokers go away. These people are unacceptable. Then Li Zhenhua educates the more honest soldiers. If you are willing to join us, come with us. If you don't want to go, you can go back by yourself (you will never be given travel expenses because you don't have much money). The soldiers looked at each other, and some stood up and asked to go with the team. Later, some others also stood up, and there were more than fifty people in total who wanted to continue serving as soldiers. Li Zhenhua left them behind. In the end, only the boss and his group were left. Li Zhenhua asked someone to treat his wounds and then asked him about the situation before letting him go. It turned out that after several French people disappeared, France submitted a diplomatic note to the Qing government, requesting that troops be sent into China to search. However, the Qing government did not agree and only agreed to give them search orders. Since all the court officials in remote areas were Some people who are frustrated or don't have enough money are those who have offended their superiors. When they got here, it was like they were assigned. They had no intention of finding someone for them and just did it perfunctorily. But the French minister had been urging the consul in Guangzhou, so the superiors stepped up their efforts and strictly urged them to do it. Then they sent troops to search. Unexpectedly, He Bilong was captured alive and Li Zhenhua did not stay. Then he let him go again just like he let a dog go. He Bilong returned to his station and reported his situation to his superior. His superior scolded him and said that he couldn't even deal with a group of old people and children. But because he was a Manchu, he let him go. The superiors also thought that he was just a soldier, so no one held him accountable. But his boss couldn't just let it go. Although He Bilong lost his troops and generals, he found out the situation of the Black Flag Army camp and the governor of Guangxi had no choice but to continue sending troops to encircle and suppress their camp. This time they sent a general to lead all his troops to the border area for encirclement and suppression. After some preparations, General Hebri led his men and began to march towards the town of Queqiao. After this victory, the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased. Although there were no good weapons, a batch of weapons were seized. However, the soldiers who used to use swords and spears were able to choose from some. Some of the soldiers also asked some soldiers to change their weapons. They made their own weapons. All the weapons were destroyed. But there was a soldier named Han Zhichao who was not interested in the captured weapons and insisted on using the bows and arrows he made. When Li Zhenhua heard about it, he asked him to make the bows and arrows he made. He saw that this bow and arrows were very well made. The most important thing about a learned bow is its hardness, but the bow he made is not as hard as other people's bows. It doesn't use much force to draw it back. The range of reflection is longer than other bows, and the accuracy is better than other bows. Li Zhenhua said to him with great interest: "Just cum a few times for us all to see." Han Zhichao nodded when he heard this. He looked up and saw a big bird flying over him in the distance. He took out an arrow and put it on the bow. When the big bird was close, he started to take aim and heard the sound of the bowstring. The arrow shot towards the eagle as if it had eyes. It hit the target exactly. But people suddenly heard again. There was the sound of a bow string, and another arrow flew out. The target was the eagle that was beginning to fall downward. Li Zhenhua quickly looked at the soldiers and saw only one soldier putting away his bow. Li Zhenhua hurried over and asked him: "What is your name?" The soldier looked a little nervous and said: "I just came here." Li Zhenhua understood after hearing this that this man was a soldier who had just surrendered, but with his His archery skills meant that there would be no casualties in his team, which showed that this man was a kind man, so he said to him: "It doesn't matter, it's fate that we can be together. From now on, we will be brothers. Once you are older than me, you will be my brother." That soldier's face Yihong said: "I really don't dare to be an adult." Li Zhenhua smiled and said: "I have already said that we are all brothers from now on. You should not call me adults from now on. Now you should tell me what your name is." "Captain, my name is Wild Cat." ¡± Hearing his name, Li Zhenhua felt something in his heart. This man is really a good material for a natural sniper. Hearing their conversation stopped, Zhao Hongyan came over happily and said, "Fifth Brother, Captain, come and see." As she said that, she handed over a cloth bag in her hand. Li Zhenhua took it and opened it heavily in his hand to see what it was. A banknote and a dozen ingots of silver. Zhao Hongyan said: "The dog officer himself has more silver than his quartermaster. He has more than two thousand taels, while his quartermaster only has a few hundred taels. He said it is their soldiers' silver." Li Zhenhua said with a smile: " No matter whose it is, it belongs to us now. Okay, hurry up and clean up the battlefield and then all return." The brothers shouted happily and hurriedly dispersed to pack up the things on the battlefield. After coming back, Li Zhenhua separated all the newly recruited brothers and reorganized them into various squads. The wildcat asked him to reorganize a fourth squad to train a group of soldiers with shooting talents so that they could be used as snipers in the future. A group was selected that was better. All the weapons are given to them, and they can also provide fire support as a fire team on the battlefield. Now the weapons are still not good enough, and they have to find a way to get more in the future. Han Zhichao, who can make his own bows and arrows, is a talent. In the future, he will use Li Zhenhua exclusively. He was called and asked if he could repair some broken rifles. Han Zhichao said that as long as he had something, he could repair it. Li Zhenhua heard it. I was very happy, so I incorporated him into the logistics team and asked him to supervise a few people to see how he was doing with gunpowder. If so, let him specialize in firearms issues in the future. Text Chapter 8 The Qing Army is here again Chapter 8 The Qing Army is here again. The team started training again the next day. During the training break, Li Zhenhua specifically asked everyone who had any specialties in military technology or other aspects to perform. Because Li Zhenhua was hanging out with everyone. People got familiar with him very quickly, and everyone had no restraints. They came on stage one by one and started performing. This was an eye-opener for Li Zhenhua. Among the more than 100 people, there were all kinds of people, whether it was martial arts or guns. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but think that the result of training since he was a child was the result of his training since childhood. It's different. If you train them well, they will definitely become excellent warriors. Since then, Li Zhenhua has paid special attention to giving full play to their strengths so that they can put their expertise into full play. Among them, Li Zhenhua specially trained a few people to be responsible for collecting intelligence. He gave them special training to give them a preliminary understanding of intelligence collection, concentration and analysis, and then asked them to go to nearby areas to specialize in intelligence collection. As they worked, they moved from Queqiao Town to the county and provincial capitals. Their main task was to keep an eye on the enemy's military operations and ask them to pay close attention to the actions of the Qing army and pay attention to the enemy's revenge on them. Li Zhenhua knew that the Qing government would never let them go. There needs to be a new attack. Now the mission of the intelligence department is purely military. Later, economic and political aspects will be added, which will be discussed later. A few days later, Li Zhenhua and the soldiers were training. The first intelligence feedback from the intelligence team came back. More than 800 Qing troops marched into Queqiao Town, preparing to encircle and suppress the camp. They actually dispatched a small camp with more than 100 people. More than 800 people were encircled and suppressed, which shows the importance attached to their camp. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that He Bilong must have greatly exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the camp. Li Zhenhua still used the old method of gathering the main personnel and telling everyone the situation so that everyone could consider how to deal with the enemy. When he heard that the Qing army had dispatched more than 800 people to encircle and suppress the enemy, some of the teenagers in these camps couldn't help but feel scared. He immediately said no and we ran to Annan, but there were still some people who wanted to fight with the enemy. People from the two viewpoints began to argue, but both sides hoped that Li Zhenhua could support their opinions. After listening to their argument for a while, Li Zhenhua felt that they had no other opinions, so he said to everyone: "After listening to everyone's argument, I have a few opinions to share with you. First, we must establish the belief that we must win. We will definitely be able to defeat What should we do if the enemy cannot go to Annan at the same time? Will we come back in the future? Secondly, let¡¯s talk about the situation of the enemy and ourselves. The disadvantages of the enemy are: first, they have no fighting spirit; second, they are not familiar with the terrain. Thirdly, they are blind and deaf. The third is that their long-distance combat logistics supply is not good. The fourth is that their weapons are not as good as ours. Looking at us, we are local combatants with high fighting spirit and strong combat effectiveness. Furthermore, our weapons are better than theirs, so I think We must win this battle. The last thing we need is to have a complete battle plan. My plan is that we use guerrilla warfare to drag them up in this mountain for three days. During these three days, we will not let them rest, and then we can clean up. They." People's confidence began to rise after hearing Li Zhenhua speak easily. By the time he finished speaking, all the cadres were already rushing to compete for tasks. However, no one was very interested in this mission. According to Li Zhenhua's intention, they were going to conduct an "escape" operation for three days. The camp became busy. First, "Grandpa" and some of the old people were sent to a safe place. Then the strong walls and clear fields were used to hide everything that the enemy could use. They even tampered with the water. As long as they drank it, they must be there. good-looking. The intelligence team came to report again: "The Qing army has set off from Queqiao Town and is expected to arrive at our camp in half a day." Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "Okay, our guests are here. It's up to us. We have to give them a good welcome." They were killed." Zhang Xinghua led the soldiers of the other three teams into the mountains. Along the way, they left obvious traces of freshly cut trees on the roadside. Things were thrown away not far away. This was to push the enemy into the mountains. Lead away. Li Zhenhua, on the other hand, led the small group of Wildcats who stayed behind to "welcome" the enemy's large group. Hebri, a staff general of the Qing army, led his more than 800 soldiers after a day's march and finally arrived at Li Zhenhua's camp. Due to the long years of peace, their soldiers no longer looked like soldiers at all. Originally, due to the officials at all levels There were not enough people to fill the vacancies, and they had not been trained at all. After a day's march, they arrived at the camp, but they were empty after checking and counting.Suddenly there were less than a hundred people missing. Although he felt very unhappy, he couldn't help but feel happy again. It turned out that they were still afraid of me. In turn, I wasn't afraid of them anymore. He asked the soldiers to quickly arrange for camping and rest, and then prepare to continue the pursuit tomorrow. . He beat his waist with his hands and felt very tired, but he didn't care how the soldiers on horseback felt. The soldiers took off the saddle for him and let him sit on it. One of the soldiers went to walk the horse. Others were setting up camp and some were guarding his side vigilantly. The fifty soldiers around him have good combat effectiveness. They are all tall and powerful, and their weapons are all rear-mounted British new weapons. As the governor's main defense force, the weapons cannot be inferior no matter what happens. No matter what the situation, you must protect yourself well. In this way, the equipment of the main officials and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty army was better than that of their ordinary army. Each of them has been selected many times. Even the ordinary silver is higher than that of other ordinary troops. Since these people follow their commanders every day, they slowly develop the habit of being arrogant, which artificially gives the troops Mao Dun was formed between them. Finally, everyone began to fall asleep. Only a few sentries were swimming around. It was difficult to rest because they did not train frequently. The soldiers were all exhausted, sleepy and tired, but those sentries could not rest. Their hearts were very sad. After feeling uncomfortable for a while, they found a place to sit down and began to rest, but they soon fell asleep together. Text Chapter 9 Guerrilla Warfare Chapter 9 Guerrilla Warfare Several vigorous figures flashed outside the camp. It turned out that the hosts who greeted the guests appeared. Their mission was to prevent the enemy from resting. Originally, they planned to take action until late at night, but when they saw that the enemy had even rested their sentries, If that didn't work, they took action in advance. The weapons in the hands of the soldiers include new rifles and primitive bows and arrows. Their captain Wildcat still has his own bow and arrows in his hands. His reason is that I use bows and arrows more effectively than the soldiers use rifles. The key is that in special cases, it can also fire rockets. He handed his new rifle to his brother Li Zhenhua, who also used only a short knife to attack the enemy. The soldiers on the periphery quietly approached the enemy's sentry post because they were all Chinese. Li Zhenhua meant that there was no need to kill more people unless it was special circumstances, so he killed as few people as possible and arrived in front of the Qing army's sentry post. Several figures pounced on them and knocked them unconscious. After taking care of the sentry, they felt as if they were at home in the enemy's camp. They quietly came to Hebri's tent. Wildcat's bow was set on a long arrow that had been lit on fire, and he heard the sound of the bowstring. The big tent in Buri quickly caught fire. The soldiers shouted, and then they began to run out and blindly fired in all directions. At this time, several tents were on fire. The Qing troops in other tents were on fire. The soldiers also rushed out. The entire Qing army's camp suddenly became a mess. Some were shouting, some were yelling, some were putting out fires, some were firing guns randomly, and some were hiding. Others took the opportunity to grease their feet and desert. . It is much better to go home and watch over your wife and children than to be frightened. Wildcat and the others took a few guns and slipped out of the enemy's camp. In this way, they carried out three attacks overnight. The Qing army was in a panic and spent the night in fear. Even Hemianli didn't sleep much all night. After dawn, he hurriedly sorted out the team and checked that there were five or sixty soldiers missing. The soldiers also lost a dozen new rifles. Hebri watched the soldiers tidy up their tents and the food was prepared in the kitchen. After the meal, they started chasing again. It seemed that the situation of the Black Flag Army was not good either. There were messy things everywhere. Hebri was relieved and directed his troops to pursue. Even though the day passed smoothly, there were a lot of stragglers, most of whom were suffering from stomach upsets, but they would not be able to catch up with the wild cats and they had already helped to shelter him. Night came again, and the Wildcat team continued to cause chaos for them. The next day's march made the Qing army much more embarrassed. Some people were going to sleep while walking. Angry Hebli kept whipping them and walked away for the whole day. Forty or fifty miles is not enough for Li Zhenhua and the others to train. Finally, he reached a place where he could camp. Hebri ordered to camp on the spot. The soldiers who were already very sleepy fell down to sleep. It wasn't dark yet. This was a safer time. Let's discuss the matter of eating at night. Immediately, the soldiers fell to the ground in a mess. Hebri looked at the exhausted soldiers and sighed and had no choice but to let them be like this. The Wildcat Team following closely behind them are very energetic. They can have a normal rest period every day, but their time is separated. Each of them used to undergo high-intensity training and have to run dozens of miles every day to fight against the enemy. Making trouble was just to relieve their boredom. During the two nights, even the weapons they smuggled and robbed had been replaced with new guns. Some of them even carried double guns on their backs. The Wildcat Team continued to cause trouble for them at night, but they found that the Qing army was no longer the same as before. Half of the entire army was on guard and half were resting. However, the people on guard were also very tired. Most of them were on guard. Lying, sitting, or sleeping against a tree, there are almost no people who can really stick to their posts. The wild cat kicked a Qing soldier to get him up, but the soldier just turned over and fell asleep again. He kicked him again and said with his eyes closed: "Don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while. I'm almost exhausted." " Wildcat was speechless when he saw that he didn't wake up. He had to order a few soldiers to light their tent. The tent was on fire. Hebri's soldiers ran out in a hurry. They couldn't hesitate at all. Bree also got up. He ordered everyone to hurry up and put out the fire and asked the soldiers to pay attention to defense. In the middle of the night, the Wildcats came again. Finally at dawn, this time they did not dare to move forward. Hebree discussed with the leaders of his two battalions. This is not a problem. He didn't even see his shadow. His fighting power was completely wiped out. When we checked the number of people, they originally said it was a thousand people, but after adding in the gaps, they only had 700 or 800 people passing by. Tian's Toss now only has more than 500 people, and if they come to attack now, they will only get beaten. If you say that you can defeat them even with only these 500 people, but they just don't show up now, what can you do???No. Not to mention that they were worrying about Li Zhenhua here, they had already made all preparations and planned to deal with them after another day of marching in the evening. However, they did not expect that they wanted to retreat on their own. Li Zhenhua's brigade was now more than ten dozen in front of them. If they don't move forward inside and outside, they will have to wait for the wild cats. But when they saw that they were not moving, they sent people to the front to contact Li Zhenhua. At this time, he was waiting for them in front. When he saw that they were not moving, he led the team back. After observing them with a telescope, he made up his mind to send a soldier to the Qing army's camp and tell them to order them to surrender immediately. If they did not surrender, they would be destroyed. Hebri and others were discussing what to do and suddenly said that someone outside was coming and ordered them to surrender. When Hebri heard this, he was furious and said that this Hebri could not be said to be a complete waste. His ancestors were also famous military generals, but in his generation, although his martial arts skills were not given up, because he did not know how to work in the camp, and the Qing government was accustomed to "valuing civility over martial arts", he only lived in remote areas for many years before he became a small man. The fifth-grade general has been refusing to fight for several days. He is just playing "fatigue tactics" with him so that he cannot have a good rest every day. His heart is full of anger. Now when he hears that they surrender, his anger immediately rises. I saw him take a few steps to the outside of the big tent and said to the person who came to deliver the message: "You can let me surrender, but your general must be able to win the sword in my hand." Text Chapter 10 Guerrilla Warfare (2) Chapter 10 Guerrilla Warfare (2) The person who came to deliver the message didn't say much and went back immediately. After a while, he saw a half-year-old child leading a few people to his tent. Hebri was angry and saw that man. Said: "Mr. He Qian, don't you want to try it? Where will we be when I come?" When Hebry saw that the person opposite could only be regarded as a child, he couldn't help but hesitated in his heart. He thought that such a person would give us After such a torment, the world has really changed. One look at his appearance, and you can tell that there are two moments where he didn't want to fight with a child, but what he said before has already been said. The adults at home are here to meet me. If I accidentally hurt you and let others laugh at me for bullying a child, Li Zhenhua laughed: "Come on, didn't you say that if I win you, you will surrender? If I lose, we will." It's fair to surrender." When Hebri heard that people were still shouting, let's fight. He threw his big knife aside, rolled up his sleeves, and started to fight Li Zhenhua. He also said: "I'll let you go first. "Three moves." "No need, let's go straight to it." Li Zhenhua also had a good impression of Hebri after hearing what he said. In addition, his own intelligence personnel and reconnaissance personnel said that he was not a bad person and had nothing to do with the original Qing Dynasty. He bullied the people like a soldier, so he decided to spare his life. The two started to move, and Hebri rushed out with his right fist. Li Zhenhua dodged to the right and hid aside. When Hebri saw that his right fist was empty, he immediately bent his left arm and aimed at Li Zhenhua's side with an elbow. Li Zhenhua dodged and hid to the side again. While following Hebri, he squatted down and pushed his hands to the ground to sweep out Li Zhenhua with his right leg. This time, he stepped back to avoid his three consecutive moves. To say that these three moves of Heb's were very harmful. He had used them many times with almost no success. But today, he didn't get any advantage in the hands of this doll. Li Zhenhua easily dodged them, which made Heb's Li began to pay attention to Li Zhenhua, but Li Zhenhua did not allow him to hesitate. He came up with a punch like him and hit Hebri directly in the face. Hebri hurriedly punched Li Zhenhua and Li Zhenhua was already on guard when he saw him. He retracted his right fist, lifted up his right foot and kicked Hebri in the chest. He Bri was unable to dodge and was kicked in the abdomen by Li Zhenhua. He took a few steps back and sat on the ground. Li Zhenhua waved to him and said, "This time is not counted as a repeat." Hebry was a little angry at this moment, but this aroused the aggressive nature of the Manchu people. He knew that the young man opposite him was not He saved face by not using all his strength, but he thought he was hit by him just because of his negligence. This time he was careful and must regain his face. Hebri jumped up from the ground, took off his official uniform and threw away his hat. When he reached one side, he grabbed the braid with one hand and threw it around his neck. At this time, Li Zhenhua said: "General He, please pay attention, I am about to attack." After speaking, Li Zhenhua rushed forward and punched Hebry in front of his eyes. Hebri hurriedly used his hands to greet him, but Li Zhenhua was already behind him and kicked his right foot towards the back of Hebri's leg. Hebri responded and knelt on the ground. This time, Hebri didn't wait for Li Zhenhua to call him again. He jumped up from the ground and punched Li Zhenhua again. This time, Li Zhenhua didn't hide at all, but directly caught his fist with his hand. His hand slid forward and he tightened his grip. Hearing the sound of bones as he pushed and pulled his wrist outward, Li Zhenhua used a grappling technique to remove Hebry's arm from his shoulder. This time Hebry couldn't fight even if he wanted to, so he had to admit defeat and surrender. Li Zhenhua went up and grabbed Hebri's arm, pulled and pushed it, and then gave his arm back. Hebri was already sweating from the pain. Li Zhenhua's movements were crisp and neat. Many people hadn't seen clearly what was going on. He was already finished here. There were a few soldiers in Hebri. They were all good players, but they didn't dare to praise them. They were just glad that they weren't the brothers who came up to fight Li Zhenhua. They knew that Li Zhenhua had already taught them all this, but when they saw Li Zhenhua using it in battle, they were even more convinced, and they were wondering whether they could use this move themselves or not as neatly as he could use it. By this time, Hebri was convinced. He endured the pain and said to Li Zhenhua: "Okay, I'll admit defeat and let you do whatever you want." Li Zhenhua gave Hebri a fist and said, "General, you're serious, we're here to deal with you. Let's talk in the tent." Hebry knew that he was trying to save his face and immediately asked Li Zhenhua to rest in the tent. The soldiers served him tea. Hebry waved the soldiers and retreated. He stopped the soldiers again. A soldier said: "Let the brothers outside also have a rest." After the soldiers went out, Hebri said to Li Zhenhua: "I have surrendered to you now. You can tell me what you want to do. If you kill me, you can kill me." Let my soldiers go. It won¡¯t be easy for them.¡± Li Zhenhua smiled and said, ¡°Do you think I want to kill you?¡± Hebri said: "It doesn't seem like you want to kill me, but then again, you are not official or civilian, it doesn't look like bandits. What on earth do you want to do?" Li Zhenhua said: "I don't think so. The key is that you are If you don't let us survive, you are here to encircle and suppress us, so we have to resist." Hebri touched his head with his hand and said, "Yes, we came to fight you first. I have lost now and I am convinced." I just want to ask if you killed those foreigners?" Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "If you kill someone, just come to me alone." "What?" Hebri asked: "You killed three of them by yourself?" "Yes." Li Zhenhua replied with a smile. "Not to mention that the three people are all soldiers and have weapons. How can you kill three people by yourself?" "Even you can kill them. The key is whether you think about it or not." "Yes. It is said that these foreign devils are also annoying and they are bullying us. However, the officials of the Qing Dynasty are not afraid of them. The main reason is that the court is afraid of them. If they offend them, there will be no good results. " "Because I am not an official of the Qing Dynasty. So I'm not afraid of them." "Then what are you going to do?" "We just want to make the people live a better life and stop being angry with those foreign devils." Hebry lowered his head and thought for a moment. He would say: "Your idea is good, but it will be difficult if you really want to do that. The foreign devils have many people and good weapons. Our army ran away as soon as they heard that they were coming. Not to mention the ordinary army, even the Queen Mother and the Emperor were afraid of them." If you really dare to fight foreigners, I will fight with you. Anyway, this Qing Dynasty official has nothing to do. " Text Chapter 11 Grenade Chapter 11 Grenade "Then you have to think about it carefully. We are not strong enough now. You can cooperate with us when we are strong. I will let you go back now. You are all Chinese. There is no need to kill our own people. We just "I can't believe that someone of my age is not as good as you kids. But you are too small to fight against the foreign devils." "The problem is not that we are small, but we are. If all the people in China have the same idea as us, we will definitely be able to defeat them." "Okay, let's do it today. I am older than you and I am my brother. Little brother, please let me obey. I'm very grateful to you and please let go of my soldiers." "No problem, that's what we think. We will go to Guilin soon. You need to get familiar with it. You can tell the governor of Guangxi when you go back. Don't send any more troops to us. Isn't your purpose this time to continue to clear out other copycat bandits? You don't need to worry about these bandits. I'll help you deal with them. I'll persuade them to do the rest. Isn't it good to just leave and be done with it?" When Hebri heard Li Zhenhua's words, he couldn't help but be more convinced by Li Zhenhua. He said in his heart: "This man is really not simple. What he said is really incomprehensible. Since he is Zhan Shan, The king did not bully the common people but also killed the bandits for the government. But what he said is true, so just listen to him." So he said to Li Zhenhua: "In that case, then. Listen to you. If you need me to do anything, just let me know. I won't hesitate." "Okay, let's go and tell everyone to withdraw the troops." Hebri led the troops back and told the governor of Guangxi to send troops this time. Of course, he did not talk about the process of his actions with Li Zhenhua. He only said that after negotiating with them, he would no longer invade foreigners and agreed to let the Black Flag Army men attack the bandits. The copycat itself has saved military expenditures, so it doesn't say much about killing foreigners, so it's okay to just find a few death row prisoners to replace them. Li Zhenhua's move made his own people very confused. Li Zhenhua called his people together and said to them: "The purpose of our team is not only to deal with those Qing troops. To be honest, their combat effectiveness is not strong, but we can do it." Defeat them, but our ultimate goal is to severely attack those foreigners. We cannot let them continue to ride on the heads of the Chinese people and dominate us. Now that we have released them, they will never have the guts to attack us again in the future. We can also use them to look further, not just to see the immediate benefits, but to see the long-term benefits. When we become stronger, those people will be our basic strength." "Anyway, people are absolutely convinced of Li Zhenhua now, and it doesn't matter to you now. As for lofty goals and ideals, just listen to him anyway, so people all agreed with his approach. After these two battles, people were very convinced of Li Zhenhua's military commanding ability, and Li Zhenhua's prestige was gradually established. There were some bandits' cottages around them, some of which were dedicated to oppressing the people. People were very angry in this area, so Li Zhenhua decided to knock down their cottages. First of all, it would eliminate the harm to the nearby people, and at the same time, it would also allow his own soldiers to experience it. Fighting increases your combat experience and you can also get some supplies from them. On this day, Li Zhenhua was training with the soldiers when he heard a "boom" in his camp. He hurriedly looked towards the sound and saw a plume of black smoke coming from the camp. He hurriedly ran there and there were already some soldiers. They gathered around and when they saw Li Zhenhua arrived, they hurriedly made room for him. When they saw that it was Han Zhichao, who especially liked to study new weapons by himself, he was working on a flying weapon. Hand grenades are a commonly used melee weapon in modern warfare. Capitalist countries only used them in warfare at the beginning of the twentieth century. As early as the 18th century, the Yi people in the Ailao Mountain area of ??Yunnan Province, China, had invented the "Gourd Flying Thunder" thrown with a net bag. This kind of gourd thunder uses a dry gourd to hold gunpowder and lead blocks (or lead shot), iron ore slag, iron sheets, etc., and places fireweed on the neck of the gourd as a fuse. When used, the fire grass is ignited and the flying thunder is thrown out from the small net bag for hunting. In the mid-19th century, a joint uprising broke out among the Yi, Han, Bai, Dai, Miao, Hani and other ethnic groups, led by Li Wenxue, a Yi nationality. In order to resist the Qing rebels who had superior troops and muskets and artillery, they produced a large number of gourd flying thunders, which exerted great power in the Battle of Jia. During the war, the rebels also created long-necked gourd mines thrown by hand, which were closer to the function of modern hand grenades. Li Zhenhua looked at the "Flying Thunder" made by Han Zhichao and then looked at the explosive snack just now and said in his heart that it was good and creative, but this thing is less effective in actual combat.But he called Han Zhichao aside to analyze his creativity. In fact, Li Zhenhua was very familiar with grenades, but he had to guide Han Zhichao's ideas and let him create. He asked Han Zhichao to think about the crackers played by children. He would pull the crackers with his hands and then throw them out before exploding in the air. Han Zhichao was very happy when he heard it. Why didn't I think of it? If I had used that method, I would have saved a fire. You can use it even when it rains. The power of the gourd is too small, and even if it explodes on people, it won't be very effective. If it were made of iron sheets, its power would be much greater. After hearing these two suggestions from Li Zhenhua, Han Zhichao said: "Well, with these two ideas of yours, I will definitely be able to make a more powerful weapon." Li Zhenhua patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be anxious and take your time. Be careful not to blow yourself up." Han Zhichao smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I have a lot of brothers helping me now. I can make it right away." The sound of the blacksmith's hammer in the base. In the middle of the night, Li Zhenhua knew that the blacksmiths were making grenades and ignored them. Text Chapter 12 Grenade (2) Chapter 12 Hand Grenade (2) Han Zhichao woke up Li Zhenhua at dawn the next day. He came to Li Zhenhua with an iron lump made of wrought iron. Li Zhenhua looked at it and walked with him to the outside of the base carefully. Looking at the hand-made technology of his new products, they are very rough and they are purely hand-made. It can be seen that they took a lot of trouble to seal the handle with wax, which makes it waterproof. You can remove the wax skin by hand and then you can pull the strings. Li Zhenhua placed what can be said to be the world's earliest grenade on the ground and placed a few rocks next to it. Then he extended the string with a rope. The people who arrived were thirty meters away and found a place to lie down. Then they pulled the rope hard. The grenade exploded and several people went over to see that it worked well. Li Zhenhua praised him without hesitation. Han Zhichao was very happy. He thought about it and said, "We can improve this thing a little bit. It would be better if we use cast iron." It can be mass-produced and its power can be increased at the same time. " Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Yes, it would be better if it was made of cast iron, and the work speed would be much faster. Then we could cast some patterns on its outer shell. If you can add some fragments to it, its lethality will be greatly increased." The soldiers had all gone out to do exercises. Li Zhenhua and Han Zhichao had a family affair together. He just asked about his personal experience and it turned out that he had lived in his old life. People are known for their dexterity and often improve some furniture, tools, etc., so the life at home is better than that of ordinary families. Their elders have high hopes for him and consciously let him go to school for a few years, but he is not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics. He is very curious about some technical things and his family doesn't care about him. Therefore, he is better than the old people in some places. Later, the old people died early and he could no longer go to school. But as long as he had some money, he spent it all on buying books, so his life was no longer good. Many people said that he was not doing his job properly. Later, he couldn't even eat anymore, so he took the place of others and became a soldier. However, any weapon in the Qing army cannot be used casually, even if you have the ability, so he became discouraged. But in the first battle with Li Zhenhua and the others, he saw that their weapons were so good and the morale of their soldiers was very high. Those people were also poor people, so he turned to those unfamiliar people. God made Li Zhenhua discover his strengths, so he was very happy and determined to show it well. After hearing what he said, Li Zhenhua was very happy and patted his shoulder and said: "Do it well, you will definitely be useful." Then he asked him: "If your new weapon is made of cast iron, we have so much pig iron here. ?" Han Zhichao said: "It means that we have iron ore in the mountains and can directly smelt iron, then use a crucible to turn it into molten iron and make a sand mold, and then cast it directly." Li Zhenhua said happily: "Okay. It's up to you to decide what you need. I'll support you in everything. It's easy to talk about hiring people and money." Soon a simple arsenal was established. Han Zhichao was the director of the factory. He was old and not suitable for being a soldier. people have become factory workers. The workers started working enthusiastically. The large homemade bellows was pulled by two people and soon blew red. There was a crucible above the fire. There were some iron blocks in it. After a while, the molten iron melted and the two people carried it to the sand mold aside. The sand mold is made of fine sand from the river, sprayed with some water to make it moist. In the middle is a sand dumpling, with a piece of bamboo tube inserted on the outside and surrounded with sand. Then the bamboo tube is gently removed, and a model of a grenade head comes out. Pour in the melted molten iron and a grenade's cast-iron warhead comes out. It¡¯s even better to say that people have already made the mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal, installed them with fuses and pulled them by hand. The results of the first test were pretty good, but there were also some problems, that is, the ignition time was unstable. Some were long and some were short. Han Zhichao finally solved the problem after several more tests. In this way, the grenade, an infantry weapon, came out more than ten years in advance. Now that it is one's own secret weapon and cannot be known to others, people must be educated on confidentiality from now on. Seeing that Han Zhichao was very talented in this area, Li Zhenhua immediately drew him a drawing of a mortar and asked him to conduct research on the mortar. Han Zhichao happily accepted the task, and he immediately began to collect steel materials for experiments. Li Zhenhua is now focusing on those bandits' cottage. Since you usually bully the people, I will deal with you. The brothers who were sent out to scout a cottage came back. The scouts brought back a simple card for Li Zhenhua. Although the terrain map was not very standard, it was still possible to see what the situation was. So he organized his squad leaders to hold a meeting to mobilize everyone, and then prepared to set off the next day to attack the bandit's stronghold. . That cottage is not far from them, less than a hundred miles away. They can start in the morning and rest there in the evening.They can launch an attack on their stronghold in one night. After having dinner in the morning, the team set off smoothly. However, when they were still more than thirty miles away from the bandit's stronghold, the leading soldiers came back and reported that there was a fighting ahead. They did not alert them, they just sent someone back to report. As soon as Li Zhenhua heard this, he immediately led the team and ran forward. Before anyone arrived, he heard the sounds of fighting, people's shouts, and the sound of weapons clashing. When I got to the front, I saw that the two gangs were fighting lively. It seemed that one of them was a caravan of forty or fifty people. They brought many horses and horse packs. In order to protect their own things, they formed a circle and defended the outside. Those people looked like bandits at first glance. They were attacking inside. It seemed that the bandits were ambushing here to intercept the caravan team. Judging from the current situation, the bandits have gained the upper hand due to the large number of people. There are about two to three hundred people. Although the caravan has some muskets, they seem to have run out of bullets. The bandits did not shoot here, but used broadswords and spears. attack. Li Zhenhua immediately ordered: "Small team, you quickly go through the woods and go behind them. Don't let any of the bandits go back. The second and third teams will surround them from the outside and ask them to put down their weapons. If they don't listen, they will be eliminated." " Text Chapter 13 Rescued a Caravan Chapter 13 Rescued a Caravan Zhang Xinghua waved to their small team and the small team followed them and quickly disappeared into the dense forest. The second and third teams also quickly gathered and then surrounded the enemy. When they arrived outside the bandits' encirclement, they shouted together. Said: "Put down your weapons!" The bandits who were fighting fiercely did not expect that there were people behind them. One of them, who looked like a leader, came over with a big knife in his hand. He thought they were bandits from another family. He thought they were coming. He wanted to steal their victory, so he said loudly to the soldiers: "What are you doing? Didn't you see that we are working? Don't make trouble. We will give you a share according to the rules." No one paid attention to him and just said to him again. He said: "Put down your weapons." The rifles in the hands of several soldiers were pointed at him. This boy knew the dangers of muskets, but they have great power here. Ordinary bandits still dare not provoke them. He wanted to say a few more words, but the second boy Captain Liu Yongqiang walked over and wanted to grab his sword. When the boy saw it, he quickly dodged and wanted to fight Liu Yongqiang. But he was Liu Yongqiang's opponent. He saw him making a grappling move and the sword was already in Liu Yongqiang's hand. Then he kicked him to the ground. . Two soldiers went up to hold him down and dragged him over. When the other bandits saw that there were not many of them, a leader shouted. Some bandits gave up the siege of the caravan and began to rush toward the soldiers. The weapons in the soldiers' hands opened fire. A burst of gunfire was heard. The bandits lay down and immediately there was a cry. Wei Xiaohu shouted again: "Put down your weapons! This time is a warning that you will be killed next time." This time the bandits were stunned and did not dare to move, but a bandit leader behind them shouted: " Brothers rushed up to kill them! " "Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the bandit leader fell to the ground. Blood flowed from his legs. It turned out that Li Zhenhua had fired a gun, and the gun in his hand was still smoking. The leader ran back, but Liu Yongqiang took out a grenade and threw it in front of the bandits. The grenade exploded in front of the bandits. All the bandits stopped in fear. Only a few people ran on the road. At this time, most of them The bandits threw down their weapons, but some people still wanted to resist. When Li Zhenhua saw that the remaining bandits were all habitual bandits, he immediately ordered that the leader be left behind and let the soldiers eliminate them. When he saw that Li Zhenhua was serious about it, a few more bandits dropped their weapons. After all, they were here to survive, not here. Liu Yongqiang, who was dying, shouted: "Those who put down their weapons, go to both sides, and those who want to take action, stop and don't move." The bandits who had thrown away their weapons ran to both sides, but they did not dare to really run far away because of the power of the grenade just now. But after seeing Li Zhenhua divided them up like this, there were not many bandits left. However, Li Zhenhua waved his bow, arrows and rifle and fired at the same time. The remaining bandits all fell to the ground. You can see, they were all injured on the legs. The bandits screamed loudly. Liu Yongqiang and Wei Xiaohu separated them. Those who put down their weapons for the first time can be fought for. Later, they need to analyze those who were injured by themselves. Then treat their wounds and then send them down the mountain. Just ignore them. But we can't let them leave now because Li Zhenhua still has unfinished business. Zhang Xinghua also ran back with more than a dozen people in custody. He was angry and thought he would not be able to fight, but when he heard that there was no gunfire, he was speechless. The three team captains dealt with the bandits together, treated the wounded, educated and distinguished them respectively, and then left the more suitable ones to join their own teams. Li Zhenhua walked towards the group of caravans and saw that they had all injured. The caravans thought that Li Zhenhua and the others were also bandits, so they were still holding weapons and watching them warily. This group of bald soldiers were always ready to fight them. They took advantage of this. After a while, I finally stopped to take a breath. At the same time, he also took care of his own wounded. Li Zhenhua asked his soldiers to send them some medicine. They politely refused because they could not accept help from the enemy regardless of whether they were friends or foes. However, seeing that Li Zhenhua and the others had no ill intentions, their attitude was not particularly bad. Seeing that Li Zhenhua was the only one walking up, a person who looked like a leader came over. In fact, this person was the "Ma Guotou" of the caravan, which is also the leader of the caravan. "Thank you for your life-saving grace!" As he said this, he made a bow to Li Zhenhua with his hands clasped in fists. Li Zhenhua also cupped his hand and said, "No need to thank you. I see you have a lot of caravans. Which caravan are you from?" "We are from Tianshunxiang Company. Which copycat are you from? We will report it to our shopkeeper when we go back. We must go to Dazhou Mountain." "Haha, you think we are bandits. We are not bandits. We are here to fight bandits." Li Zhenhua almost said that we are soldiers of workers and peasants. But this also gave him the idea that he should have a name, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to answer when asked.answer. "Then what kind of army is your army?" "We are a team that specializes in fighting bandits and protecting the people. We specialize in fighting foreign devils, corrupt officials and bandits who harm the people." The man shook his head. After all, he had never seen anything like this. The team has never heard of such a thing, so they don¡¯t know. Anyway, these people should be good, but what they say is incomprehensible. The man wanted to say something else, but Li Zhenhua said: "Stop talking, let me help you bandage the wound on your arm." After speaking, he gently lifted up Ma Guotou's sleeve and there was still blood flowing from the knife wound on his arm. It seemed that the bones were fine. Li Zhenhua shouted: "Li Biao! Bring the bandage." Li Biao agreed and ran over and handed a roll of white cloth to Li Zhenhua, and then the two of them helped him bandage it. Seeing that the hostility of those on the opposite side of his bandage disappeared, Xiaohu also began to ask his own people to help the caravans deal with their wounds. These soldiers had all undergone self-rescue training in this area, so they all looked so skilled when they did it, as if they were professionals. The caravans also bring some good Yunnan Baiyao with them and sprinkle some on it. This is the best way to deal with it. As for whether it is an infection in the future, it is up to God. If you are lucky, it will be fine. Otherwise, you may lose your life. The method of disinfection was also very primitive, that is, rinsing with wine, but the quality of the wine at that time was relatively good. Text Chapter 14 Attack on the Bandits¡¯ Stronghold Chapter 14: Attacking the bandit's stronghold. Li Zhenhua left the soldiers to deal with the affairs here. Li Zhenhua went to find the bandit leader. It turned out that he was the second in command. Li Zhenhua asked him that he didn't tell him at the beginning. A soldier went up and gave him a slap in the face. He immediately became honest, the soldier said. : "I'll kill you if you don't tell me." Li Zhenhua learned about their troop strength, sentry posts, etc. But what he said made Li Zhenhua feel confident because he brought part of the main force to the mountain. Half the people were gone. Li Zhenhua checked with other gangsters and found out that he was not lying. So Li Zhenhua immediately decided to use these prisoners to defraud the bandits' cottage, took the opportunity to take down the cottage, had someone make a stretcher, and found a few gangsters. After carrying him, he also found some surrender soldiers who were unwilling to be bandits and wanted to join his team. He took the first, second and fourth teams with him, leaving the third team to guard the prisoners. Then he said goodbye to the caravan and went to attack the bandits. Copycat. Seeing these soldiers, Ma Guotou, a horse gang member who was going to attack the bandit's cottage, discussed with a young man sitting on a box and immediately came over and said to Li Zhenhua: "Since you are going to attack the bandit's cottage, let's send out some people as well. "After that, he said to one person: "Half of your escort team will go to fight the bandits with our benefactor, and the other half will stay to guard the goods." Li Zhenhua said, "Thank you, I won't bother you. You can pack it up." We have to go on our way. " "No, those bandits are not good people. Yes, there are more people. Besides, you helped us defeat them. If it weren't for you, it would be all over if we fell into their hands. We won't say that the world will not tolerate this. It's absolutely not possible. This is what my little little master means," Ma Guotou said. Li Zhenhua looked at the little master and he nodded to Li Zhenhua and smiled. Li Zhenhua felt that this little master looked very much like a girl. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Then please help us take a look at these prisoners. You don't need to go up the mountain." "Yes." Ma Guotou looked back and had no choice but to agree. After the main force of the bandits was eliminated, the battle on the mountain became easier. It was almost dark when they reached the bottom of the mountain. They successfully picked up the minions at the foot of the mountain and escorted them up the mountain to the gate of the cottage. They asked them to ask the cottage to open the door. The people above saw that it was below. The brothers who patrolled the mountain and the second boss was also being carried by them, so they hurriedly opened the gate of the cottage. All the brothers rushed forward and rushed to various important positions in the cottage according to the information they had obtained in advance. First of all, the big boss was quickly killed by the soldiers. After catching it, there was their munitions warehouse. In fact, there was no fighting capacity on the mountain. Although there were many people, there were still some old and weak soldiers. Basically, the problem was solved without using any guns. A soldier found a horse from the stronghold and went back with the three teams to report that they should bring back the prisoners. Those bandit leaders who were not heinous criminals and were unwilling to stay as soldiers were allowed to go home on their own. I wanted to stay. Some of the soldiers also came back with the caravan team. Li Zhenhua took a look at the situation on the mountain and felt that this place was good. It was much better than his own camp, so he might as well put his base on the mountain. After arranging the sentry posts, he let the soldiers rest. They had not rested for a day, and the soldiers fought two battles. We were all tired, but because they were victorious in two consecutive battles, the mood of the soldiers was very high, so Li Zhenhua had no choice but to order everyone to rest. The next day, after interrogation and understanding of the situation, a few of the heinous criminals were killed and the rest were released. The people of the caravan were very happy, but it could be seen from their faces that they seemed to have something else, but they were embarrassed to say it. come out. So Li Zhenhua asked Ma Guotou if there was anything else you could do? Ma Guotou thought about it and finally spoke. It turned out that their little master was injured in yesterday's battle, but because the wound was not treated well, it has suppurated and is running a fever. Their caravan cannot leave today and will stay here for a few days. Li Zhenhua listened. Later, the little master looked like a girl in his mind, so he said to Ma Guotou: "It's no problem, you can just stay here and leave when you feel better." Ma Guotou said happily: " Thank you. Thank you very much. Then we will leave in a few days. We will pay for all the food and accommodation here." Li Zhenhua said: "That's okay. As long as we can help, we will definitely help you. You don't want it. I'll go back and check on your little master. "Li Zhenhua is very busy today. He has to deal with everything from arranging housing to training, from logistics to the placement of new soldiers, the reorganization of cadres, etc. He had to worry about all the relocation from the original camp. The resettlement of those old people was also a big deal, and capable personnel were sent to bring all those "grandfathers" to the mountain. Now there are more than 600 people in my team. Those poor people have left.There wasn't even a place to eat here, so I had no choice but to stay and serve as a soldier. He decided to arrange a combat force of 500 people, that is, a battalion, with four squadrons at the bottom. The original three squad captains were upgraded to squadron leaders, and the wildcat was also a squadron leader. Each squadron was divided into three squads. Each squadron was divided into three squadrons. There are three classes below. Each squad of twelve soldiers arranged their cadres accordingly. Now weapons have become a problem again. They only have more than a hundred good guns and the rest are all primitive weapons. However, they now have the most advanced grenades in the world. If we don't have advanced weapons and just use backward primitive weapons to deal with foreign advanced weapons, it's just an international joke. The weapons problem must be solved. This is the top priority at the moment. At night, with the word Sichuan written on Li Zhenhua¡¯s forehead, he stepped into the residence of the ¡°Tianshunxiang¡± caravan, which was a row of houses specially arranged for them. As soon as they saw Li Zhenhua entering the yard, those "horse legs" were the horse drivers and they hurriedly told Ma Guotou that the officer was coming. Ma Guotou hurriedly greeted him and Li Zhenhua said to him: "How are you, my little master?" How's it going?" Text Chapter 15 The little master turns out to be a woman Chapter 15 The young master turned out to be a woman. Ma Guotou said: "Thank you, General, for thinking about my young master's injury. Although he is not very well, he is in much better spirits. He wants to see you. Please come this way." After that, he led the way. Walk towards a room. Li Zhenhua secretly thought that I was only a major at best, and they regarded me as a general. But he didn't say anything and followed him into the house. It was already dark, but there was a kerosene lamp with a glass cover imported from abroad. When I entered the room, I illuminated the surroundings brightly and saw the little master lying on the bed with a pale face and a white towel on his head, doing physical cooling. When he saw Li Zhenhua come in, he was about to get up. Li Zhenhua walked two steps to the bed and said to him: "If you are injured, don't move." But he still struggled to sit up and said to the person next to him: "Hurry and show the general to sit down. "A man brought a chair and Li Zhenhua sat down and asked: "How is it?" "It's okay." The little master said, "It's just a little injury on the arm." Li Zhenhua said, "I can do it." Do you want to take a look? I know something about treating trauma." The little master blushed and said, "Don't bother the general. Just wait for a few days." Li Zhenhua reached out to the little master's hand and found that his hand was very hot. Then he said: "Let me take a look at it. The wound must be infected." The faces of the two little girls next to him showed an unnatural color, but the young master said: "Okay, just take a look." As he said Someone brought a knife to cut open his sleeve and tied a piece of white cloth around his arm. It was obviously not a job done by professionals. The arm was tied too tightly and the lower half of the arm was already a little swollen. Li Zhenhua hurriedly untied the white cloth from his arm. Li Zhenhua saw that the wound had not been treated properly and the area around the wound was not cleaned at all, so he tied it up. This is absolutely unacceptable. Li Zhenhua said to Ma Guotou: "This is no good. The wound has not been treated well, so everyone is not infected. You see, the wound is not only bad, but now it has suppurated. If it doesn't work, the arm will not be saved." When he said it, people were frightened and asked hurriedly. He said: "What should I do? Please save my little little master." Li Zhenhua said: "Bring me wine quickly." A man brought a wine gourd, but at this time a little girl next to him said: "Is it okay without wine?" Li Zhenhua said: "No, you must use wine." The young master said: "If you have nothing to do, just let the general do it for me. I'm not afraid of pain." Li Zhenhua simply tore off his sleeves with his hands. After opening the door, Li Zhenhua noticed that the little master's arms were completely white, and they didn't look like arms that were used to work regularly. Looking towards his chest, he looked even though he was not very old, but the female features on his chest were already visible. Only then did Li Zhenhua understand what was going on. This is a girl. Thinking of this, he couldn't hold his hand. If the strong drink was poured on the wound, it would be very painful. Seeing Li Zhenhua's hand stopped, the girl said: "It's okay, general, just do it. I'm not afraid." Li Zhenhua saw that there was no other good way to save her arm, so he had to use this crude method. He said to the girl: "You must insist on leaning on the edge of the bed and closing your eyes. You guys help me hold her arm down." The girl closed her eyes obediently. Li Zhenhua gritted his teeth and poured the wine on her arm. The girl shivered in pain, but she still held on and did not cry out. But Li Zhenhua saw that her eyes were filled with tears. Li Zhenhua gently cleaned the pus, blood and some dirt on her arm, then took out his French dagger and roasted it on the lamp for a while, then rinsed it with wine and said to the girl: "There are still things in there that must be used." "Take it out. I'm going to take it out. You have to hold on." The girl couldn't speak at all and just nodded. Li Zhenhua took another wooden stick and wrapped it twice with cloth for her to bite. In order to avoid damaging her teeth, he used a dagger to penetrate her wound. The girl shook and fainted from the pain. Li Zhenhua said, "She won't feel the pain after this." He had already felt the position of the sand just now. I squeezed the dagger with my hand and picked out the grain of sand that jumped out. Then I felt it with the knife and felt that there was nothing left. Then I squeezed out clean blood for her, then healed the wound again, sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on the wound, and finally wiped the wound. After bandaging it, he told her two little girls that they should not bandage her too tightly in the future, as that would not allow blood to flow, which would be bad for the wound. After doing this, Li Zhenhua straightened up. His clothes were soaked with sweat. The girl was also covered in sweat, but her temperature had dropped due to sweating. Li Zhenhua said, "Well, she's much better now that she's sweating." I¡¯ll feel much better tomorrow night and I¡¯ll be able to work again after taking some rest.¡±The eyes of everyone around her were full of tears, especially the two little girls who were following the girl. There was no color on their faces, and they looked as if they were exhausted. At this time, the girl had woken up. She said to Li Zhenhua: "Thank you, my arm has been saved. The pain now is different from before." Li Zhenhua said: "Girl, you are really good. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold on." "The girl smiled and said, "How can I repay you for saving me twice?" "You should help us, so don't say anything in return." "When I came out, grandpa told me not to reveal that I was a girl, so everyone didn't call me miss, but called me little master. Please forgive me, general." The girl's face turned red again. "It's okay, don't think too much about it and just take a good rest. It'll be fine in a few days. Okay, I'm going to see if the sentry arrangements have been made. You guys can rest." He turned around and said to the two little girls: "Watch it. If anything happens to your lady, come to me. Let her drink more brown sugar water and eat some soft food. She will be hungry soon. " "If you don't tell me, I will really feel hungry. " "The lady has already prepared rice porridge for you. You should hurry up and eat some. You haven't eaten much this day." Text Chapter 16 She turns out to be a beauty Chapter 16 It turns out to be a beautiful woman (I¡¯m sorry. I couldn¡¯t upload it yesterday and it was fixed today. Upload it immediately.) The servants immediately prepared a meal for their lady. They are now convinced by Li Zhenhua. Although he is not a doctor, It's true that it's about saving people. When Li Zhenhua saw that he had nothing to do with him, he also came out. He couldn't help but say in his heart that this girl is so fierce that even a young man might not be able to withstand her. Some of her would have to be tied up with a rope. When Li Zhenhua went out, the lady and the two girls said, "Hurry up and help me change my clothes. They are all soaked. It hurt me to death just now. I didn't expect that this person is so cruel. How come he doesn't know how to show mercy?" "Miss, you are so painful. Are you praising him or blaming him?" said a girl. "Just his two words made you muster up the courage. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to withstand it. I didn't expect that you were really good at it." "Well, if he hadn't been so cruel, I might have lost my life." Li Zhenhua returned. His residence turned out to be the residence of the bandit leader. The logistics arranged this place as Li Zhenhua's residence mainly because there was a hall where they could discuss things. Li Zhenhua saw that it was suitable and did not move any further. After a day's march and two battles, Li Zhenhua was also tired, but he insisted on checking the guard and calling people's attention to guard changing and patrolling. After that, he fell asleep and fell asleep, but a lot of things were weighing on his heart. After struggling for a long time and considering many things, the team has been assembled for the time being, but people's weapons are still too backward. If you want to raise an army, you need a lot of money. Spending money is like running water. First, my main focus is on military training. Second, I have to focus on how to get money quickly. This is the top priority. Transportation is not possible. This road is too difficult. It is impossible to rely on the ancient tea horse road. That is the key road. Mining is too slow, or is it just robbing someone? This is a question. How many bandits are there to rob the bandits? But now the only thing is to rob them. It can be faster. You can also consider attacking the local tyrants and evil gentry, but that will cause you to fight the Qing army prematurely. They are all Chinese. It is necessary to fight a civil war with them. Otherwise, go to grab the French people, but this weapon is not good, so win the tactical guerrilla war on tactics. This should be their own good show. This is a good idea. I had been thinking wildly for most of the night and finally fell asleep without any clue. After dawn, the soldiers' shouts of killing woke him up. It turned out that the soldiers had started training again. After he got up, he looked around the combat troops. It was easy to say that after the cadres were appointed, they could train normally, but the logistics work was not There are still a lot of things that are still in a mess for the time being. Just cleaning up the frivolous money on the cottage has not been completed yet. When I got here, I saw that they had only finished dealing with weapons and other things, but the cash, banknotes and some jewelry were not finished yet. Li Zhenhua I only knew a few figures about silver and the like, but he had no impression of those jewels, so I had to let them check it out slowly. There is also a blacksmith shop in the bandit's village that is specially used for some small repairs, such as nailing horseshoes and the like. After Han Zhichao arrived, he immediately started making weapons. There was a clanging sound in the blacksmith shop. Li Zhenhua turned around and Han Zhichao was repairing something. When Zhi Zhenhua saw Li Zhenhua coming, he hurriedly stood up and said to him: "This is great. We can add some more guns. Those bandits still have some muskets. They put the guns down after loading the bullets. They didn't pay attention." We can just pack these things up and use them." Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "Okay, we can pack them up and we can use them ourselves. But we don't have many bullets, so we have to find a way to get some in ourselves." In the future, we will have to produce it ourselves and we can¡¯t always use other people¡¯s medicine. If they stop it for us that day, we will be out of treatment,¡± Han Zhichao said. "Let me also think about it carefully and see if I can use the things I have now to produce it myself." Li Zhenhua continued: "Okay, it's best not to ask for help. Besides, I think it's not convenient for you and me to hang the big swords used by the soldiers on their waists." "Brothers, let's study the production of a small, compact weapon for use in close combat with the enemy." "Well, let me think about it. Can you draw it for me first, so that I can build it according to him." OK, let me draw a picture for you." He casually drew a picture of a military thorn on the ground. Han Zhichao squatted there and studied. Li Zhenhua smiled when he saw his appearance and came out again. He came to the backyard and saw that the lady from the "Tian Shunxiang" store had already gotten up and was exercising in the yard. Today she has changed into women's clothing. In the world of a group of men, her red and green clothes were very conspicuous. It seemed that she had recovered well that night. Li ZhenLi Zhenhua looked greedily at the young lady's graceful and graceful nose, slightly raised lips, and delicate skin. It turned out that she was still a little beauty. This fascinated Li Zhenhua. As soon as she saw Li Zhenhua coming, the lady quickly walked over and bowed to Li Zhenhua, which made Li Zhenhua blush. As a person of two generations, Li Zhenhua had never been so polite to him. This really made him feel a little flattered. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even return a gift to the lady, so he could only say: "Why are you out? You should take a good rest." "I'm much better now. Seeing how busy you are, I just wanted to come and help you." "Thank you. There¡¯s nothing to be busy with. It¡¯s just some belongings that haven¡¯t been counted yet, but the rest is nothing.¡± In Li Zhenhua¡¯s impression, girls in this era should not be interested in things like numbers. She just wants to help. Not much help. The girl smiled. Li Zhenhua was attracted by her smile. Last night, she was dressed in men's clothes, and her face was pale due to excessive blood loss. It was hard to see anything. Now she is dressed in women's clothes, and her beautiful face is indeed very beautiful. Eye-catching. She moved her arms and said to Li Zhenhua: "You really have a lot of trouble. If it weren't for you, I would be dead." "It's not as serious as you said. Just turn around. I'll leave first if I have something else to do." Text Chapter 17 King Qian¡¯s grandniece Chapter 17 King Qian¡¯s grandniece Li Zhenhua turned around and walked out, but the lady followed him. She wanted to see what Li Zhenhua was busy with. Li Zhenhua wanted to let her see the things he didn¡¯t know. She was from a rich family. The woman should know something, so they came to the small warehouse of the cottage. This is the personal belongings of the big boss, which means that all valuable things are here. Zhao Hongyan was not particularly familiar with this, so she was asked to take care of the logistics. One reason was that she was quite attentive, and the other was because she cared about the girls. Now she was still busy. The young lady walked in, picked up a piece of silver, and said, "The quality of it." Not bad." He picked up another piece of gold and said, "It's basically pure." When Li Zhenhua heard her words, he knew she was a professional. Li Zhenhua was standing by quietly watching what she was doing, and sure enough she said: "Put these silver ingots together over there, put the gold together, and separate the other jewelry." Under her command, the cloth and other items The items were also separated. Li Zhenhua saw that she was directing there and had nothing to do with him. He went out to other places and he needed to see them. When Li Zhenhua was watching the army training, Zhao Hongyan sent a logistics soldier to report that when the lady separated the things and counted the numbers, she drew some things that no one else could understand, and the soldier also returned the things she drew. It was traced. Li Zhenhua took it and smiled. It turned out that she used Arabic numerals to record it. People in this era are still in the era of using Chinese characters to record numbers, so people generally don't know those Arabic numerals. But as Li Zhenhua, this is very normal. Li Zhenhua said to the soldier: "Let her record it like this, and then you also have to learn this counting method. This is one of the more advanced accounting methods in the world." Time Not long after, Miss Zhao Hongyan accompanied Tian Shunxiang. They reported to Li Zhenhua the status of cleaning up the property of the bandit leader: 35,462 taels of silver in cash, 216,400 taels of silver invoices, and 3,000 foreign silver dollars. Two hundred pieces of jewelry, more than two thousand pieces of cloth, more than two hundred pieces of cloth, and some precious medicinal materials. These were clearly written on the paper with Arabic numerals. The little girl saw Li Zhenhua looking attentively and couldn't help but ask: "Can you understand what I wrote?" "No problem, I can understand everything." After Li Zhenhua looked at it, it turned out that if the bandit was really ruthless, he would make a lot of money out of this property. The people around here would be in trouble. Looking at the bandits on the mountain, many of them were from nearby villages that were plundered by the bandits. Except for some people who stayed, he originally didn't plan to pay severance pay to these people. But seeing the current situation, he had to pay a few taels of silver to those people who had been robbed by the bandits. Seeing that the lady had settled the matter quickly, Li Zhenhua felt a little reluctant to leave her. He couldn't do it without a good housekeeper by his side, but he was too embarrassed to keep her, so he had to keep his thoughts in his heart. But what Li Zhenhua didn't expect was that he had already taken root deeply in the girl's heart. In those days, they thought it was not okay not only to let people touch a girl's body, but also to let people look at it. But last night, Li Zhenhua not only I watched it and even started working on it for a long time. Besides, Li Zhenhua commanded so many people, and his ability to play combos also left a very deep impression on the little girl. Besides, this was a life-saving grace. Although it was a life-saving grace, it made the girl's heart very moved. I just used it. Arabic numerals were recorded. His little idea was to show his ability in front of Li Zhenhua. Unexpectedly, the guy actually understood it, but Li Zhenhua didn't say anything. Li Zhenhua did not expect the girl's thoughts and instead said to the girl: "Let me change your medicine again." The girl blushed and nodded in agreement. Li Zhenhua followed her into the room and made the girl sit on a chair. He asked her to pull up the sleeves of her shirt and then untied her bandage. He saw that the wound had begun to scar. It seemed that she was recovering well and would be fine in another ten days or so. . He carefully changed her medicine and told her not to get wet and she would be fine soon. The girl's face was always red. Then she nodded and said, "Thank you." "You're welcome, didn't you help me too?" "It's just a simple effort of mine." The girl said, " I should thank you." "Isn't this a simple task for me?" "Why is it so easy for me, General, to do these things?" "We are always at war, and we are often injured by wild beasts. Everyone is good at it." He didn't say that he was specially trained. He asked again: "I wonder where the girl learned this good algorithm?" The girl started talking about her situation with Li Zhenhua. It turns out that the girl is Tianshun XiangshangThe grand-nephew daughter of Wang Chi, the owner of the account, is named Wang Xin. When Wang Chi first started doing business, Wang Xin's family was not with him because Wang Chi returned to Kunming only after his death in Sichuan. Wang Xin's father helped Wang Chi a lot. In order to thank his family, Wang Chi always treated Wang Xin's family well. Later, when I saw that little Wang Xin was smart, I asked her to start studying. Since she was exposed to many new things, I did not let her go to school at home but sent her to school in Guangzhou. All the expenses were provided by the semicolon in Guangzhou, so Wang Xin's study was basically I learned it in a modern school, so the Arabic numerals are very easy to understand. Wang Chi is known as the "King of Money". He was born in Yunnan Province in 1836. His main business is operating "Tian Shunxiang Company" and "Tong Qingfeng Bank". His business scope includes Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places. That is to say Southwest China has their business operations and of course has accumulated a large amount of capital over the years. Because of his outstanding reputation, his bank has established branches in 15 provinces across the country, a branch in Hong Kong, and an office in Vietnam's coastal defense. In the fifteenth year of Guangxu (1890), Wang Wenshao established the Mining Bureau for the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to develop the Dongchuan copper mine and the Gejiu tin mine. Wang Chi did his best in developing local industry. Li Zhenhua, who has traveled through time, also knows something that Wang Xin does not know: In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces of Britain, the United States, France, and Germany attacked Beijing and Emperor Guangxu and the Empress Dowager Cixi fled. After arriving in Xi'an, the depleted national treasury could not afford his extravagant living expenses, so he had to ask Xi'an Tianshunxiang for help, and Wang Chi agreed. In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu (1902), Cixi returned to Beijing from Xi'an and Tian Shunxiang continued to support the Qing court. Someone in the capital once said that "Tian Shunxiang" at this time was like the treasury of the Qing court. Text Chapter 18 The Wang family turned out to be arms dealers Chapter 18 The Wang family turned out to be arms dealers. After that, Tian Shunxiang won the trust of the court and the Empress Dowager Cixi appreciated Wang Chi even more. She once issued an order to summon Wang Chi, but Wang Chi was unable to make the trip due to illness. After listening to Wang Xin's introduction, Li Zhenhua gained a new understanding of the Wang family. This is a path worth taking. Some of the problems he thought about last night can be solved by using the Wang family. There are certain funds and corresponding energy industries. These are foreign countries. People are very greedy for their own energy, so they must make good use of it. China's southwest region is very rich in mineral deposits, the most famous of which are the copper mines in Dongchuan, the tin in Gejiu, the nickel in Yuanjiang, etc. Especially copper, which has been mined for hundreds of years, was the main currency of the Qing Dynasty. in Yunnan. Emperors of all dynasties of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to copper in Yunnan. Therefore, their appointments of governors of Yunnan and Guizhou and governors of Yunnan all included factors that valued copper production. The current governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wang Wenshao, and the governor of Yunnan, Tang Jiong, have high hopes for them and cannot stop the supply of copper to Beijing no matter what. After listening to Wang Xin¡¯s introduction and Li Zhenhua¡¯s knowledge about Yunnan, he made up his mind to go to Kunming. The two of them were talking. The girl next to them came up and whispered something in Wang Xin's ear. Wang Xin smiled and said, "General, it's lunch time. Come and eat at my place. Let me make you some side dishes." "Drink a little." Li Zhenhua took out his pocket watch and looked at it and said, "Look, I've even forgotten to eat, so I'm not polite. I'll stop drinking and just eat a little." "Please don't call me in the future." Just call me by my name, General, or you can call me brother," Li Zhenhua added. "That's not good. How could there be such an unreasonable person?" "I don't have that much emphasis on being casual. I'm more used to it." "Then I'd rather be respectful and obey your orders. I'll call you big brother from now on." As he was talking, The two girls started to serve the dishes. As expected, the girls from a wealthy family were really good at making the dishes. The dishes were delicious, fragrant and tasty. It was indeed different from ordinary craftsmanship. After eating, Li Zhenhua praised the two little girls repeatedly and said very happily: "Our young lady is also a good cook. Later, let the young lady show you her skills." Wang Xin smiled and said: "It's sheer nonsense for you to be honest when there are outsiders here. Badao is not afraid of outsiders' jokes. " "General, it's not like outsiders say what you are afraid of. Miss, you just know how to cook." Li Zhenhua eats very fast. Although it is a bit slower here, he still put down his chopsticks early. Everyone looked at him and Wang Xin said: "Why don't you eat it? Is it because the food is not to your taste?" "No, it's very good. This is the best food I have ever eaten." "Then why do you only eat so much?" "My son?" "I eat quickly, but this is already slow. If we all eat together, we would have already finished it." He put down his chopsticks and the three of them stopped eating. The girl served Li Zhenhua tea again, but Li Zhenhua didn't. Still in a hurry to leave, Wang Xin couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why are you so anxious?" Li Zhenhua said: "There are too many people and we don't have enough weapons. I have to find a way." "Brother, I'll see you soon." You just need to tell me what weapons you need. Why bother?" "How can you have weapons?" "You don't know that I have been studying in Guangzhou since I was a child. I have to clear my semicolon every year. The army purchased a large amount of guns and ammunition, as well as a lot of cannons and so on. "It's really effortless to get through the iron shoes without finding anywhere. Li Zhenhua also patted his head: "Hey, I forgot about this. Okay, I'll discuss it with you later." "Then please tell me what weapons you need. I'll send someone to Guangzhou to buy them back in a month." "That's great. I'll go prepare them right away. I'll tell you when I get back." Li Zhenhua ran out like a child (he is a big child now). He wanted to write out a detailed plan on how to organize his troops. This needs to be carefully considered. Now that I already have a team of five or six hundred people and I want to consider adding more people, I will first prepare a thousand rifles. I also need two hundred pistols and artillery. Now I can only get a dozen or so. In addition, I need some. Equipment for manufacturing bullets and artillery shells and equipment for repairing weapons. As for infantry weapons, the simplest one is the mortar. To produce it, you also need equipment and materials, so he listed two pieces of paper. After thinking about it carefully, he added a few more items, such as the Hachikis heavy machine gun or the Maxim heavy machine gun. Just then, Wang Xin came over again and showed it to her. She asked with some confusion: "What are these things for?" Are you going to open a factory?¡±"Yes, I just need a repair shop. Otherwise, once I run out of bullets and cannon shells, I have to go to foreign countries to buy them. It won't be too troublesome." They bought so many weapons and never thought about it. The thoughts of the elder brother are really different from ordinary people." Wang Xin said with admiration. "Brother, what do you want to do by doing this? You definitely don't want to dominate the mountain and become king, right?" "There is nothing else but that we Chinese people will no longer be bullied by foreigners. I just want us Chinese people to be able to live a better life in the future. "Good day." "Brother, your idea is very good. Then my little sister will be by your side for the rest of her life." After saying this, Wang Xin's face turned red. Li Zhenhua didn't see it but said: "That won't work. You have to find a good family to marry in the future. This life of fighting and killing is not your woman's business." After listening to Li Zhenhua's words, Wang Xin secretly thought that this person is really What a fool. I have already made it clear what I said, and he is still saying useless things. But the little girl is not afraid that there will be more time in the future, so she can talk slowly. After arranging the work on the mountain, Li Zhenhua decided to go to Guangzhou. When he proposed it at his "dinner table meeting", people immediately exploded. No one agreed. First, it was dangerous. Second, there was no boss on the mountain who was indescribably soft. The only thing is that if there is no arrangement on the mountain, there will definitely be many things that cannot be done without him. But only Wang Xin, who attended the meeting, agreed that others did not understand Li Zhenhua's thoughts. But Wang Xin had already seen that Li Zhenhua was not a person who was content with his duties. His appearance was to change the world. Text Chapter 19 Unlucky Johnson Chapter 19 Unlucky Johnson So Li Zhenhua had to patiently explain to everyone why he wanted to go to Guangzhou and that it was necessary to go. Zhang Xinghua will be in charge of the work at home for the time being. If anything happens, everyone can discuss it together and solve it. Wang Xin reported herself and asked to be with Li Zhenhua. When he went to Guangzhou, Li Zhenhua disagreed. He thought that the little girl's injury was not healed. Besides, she was a guest and she shouldn't let others run away like him. This was not a public trip for future generations. You could take a plane, a high-speed train, or a sleeper. Now, no matter where you go, you can't go there. It is best to walk step by step with two legs, that is, a horse will do it instead. The hard work along the way can be imagined. Besides, she also has her own job, leading the caravan to do business. But the little girl disagreed: "Grandpa asked me to come out just to let me understand the world, not just for me to do business. Now I have to go to Guangzhou to inspect the market and inspect the work. I should help you along the way. It should be no problem, Grandpa." "I won't disagree." "What about your caravan?" "The caravan always has its own purpose of action. They can't be restrained by me. This time, we can walk together on the road. We are lucky to meet you this time, otherwise we might have been dealt with by them.¡± After hearing what she said, the people under Li Zhenhua agreed that Wang Xin and Li Zhenhua were together because they had already seen each other in a few days. The young master who came out of "Tian Shunxiang" is a great person. There is something in his head. Her knowledge is something that these people do not have. If they go together, she will definitely give Li Zhenhua some help. At the same time, they also see that Wang Xin I have a good impression of Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua took four people with him on the way. Wang Xin, her two little girls, and a group of eight people walked on the mountain road. Each person had a horse. The horses in the south are mainly Sichuan horses. They are small but have long endurance. They are also adapted to the south. The climate and the mountain road are good. At the front are Li Zhenhua's two soldiers as the vanguard, followed by Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin, followed by the two girls, and finally Li Zhenhua's two soldiers. Wang Xin helped Li Zhenhua arrange new clothes and even gave Li Zhenhua a fake pigtail to put on his head. The four soldiers also changed their clothes and put a fake pigtail on their head. The two of them walked together like a young couple. A group of maids and bodyguards went sightseeing. Li Zhenhua felt something was wrong at first glance, but Wang Xin thought it was good. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to obey her. A few people chatted and laughed along the way, but I didn't feel too lonely despite the long journey. Although Sichuan horses are small, their speed is not slow. They walk more than a hundred miles every day, so they quickly arrived in Guangzhou. At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in Guangzhou, and most of them were bungalows. They arrived at Tong Qingfeng's semicolon. They arranged a place to stay and took a short rest. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin were about to go to the street to take a look. Several followers also followed behind, but Li Zhenhua asked them to stay away. He didn't want the followers to follow too close to avoid letting them go. They looked like they were here to fight. After walking for a while and feeling a little hungry, they entered a small restaurant to take a rest and eat something. The shop quickly served wine, food and rice, which the few of them ate. After a while, a foreigner with white skin, a tall nose, blue eyes, yellow hair, and a suit with many folds appeared to have not been ironed for a long time. He just looked down and out. I saw him sit down and call to the store. He spoke in English, but the boss didn't understand what he said. But Li Zhenhua understood, and he said it again, but the boss still couldn't understand. Then Wang Xin walked over and whispered to the boss: " That person wants a bowl of rice." The boss looked at the foreigner and gestured with his hand, and the foreigner nodded vigorously. The boss shouted inside: "A bowl of rice." Now everyone in the room looked at Wang Xin. They were not wondering about the foreigner, but they all looked at Wang Xin because they could understand foreigners' speech. This is rare in the eyes of ordinary people. Even Li Zhenhua looked at Wang Xin with an incredible look. When Wang Xin saw that everyone was looking at her, she couldn't help but said to Li Zhenhua: "I know some English and I also learned French before." This made Li Zhenhua look at her. The view is even more unusual. This is such a talented woman who can actually understand the foreign languages ??of both countries. Li Zhenhua can only laugh at foreigners eating. People who don¡¯t know how to use chopsticks will have a hard time eating rice. Not only that, he hasn¡¯t asked for food and is just eating white rice. He wants to know more about the situation of foreigners and their situation. Let¡¯s talk. So he walked up to the foreigner and said to him in English: "Can you please come to my place to eat?" The foreigner hesitated and came over. Today he was lucky. When he saw the food on the table, his eyes were just staring at Li Zhenhua and immediately asked him to eat first and talk about it later. So the foreigner started to eat hungrily. See through and eatWell, Li Zhenhua asked the store to serve him tea again, and then they started to talk to him. The foreigner explained his situation to Li Zhenhua in detail. It turns out that this foreigner, his name is Johnson, is an American. He heard others say that you can make a lot of money by doing business in China, so he pooled all his savings and borrowed some money from his relatives and friends. He heard that people can make more money mainly from arms, so he did it. He bought some arms and bought a ship to China. He filled his ship with arms and finally arrived in China after a long voyage. Because he did not understand the situation in China, he came to China. Even if he is in trouble, there is no customer demand for his products at this time. He can only wait for customers to come to his door because not everyone has a large number of arms orders. As each day passes, his difficulties are increasing. First of all, the boat you bought is not suitable for sailors to stay here for a long time. Everyone has to make money. Parking the boat here means no income, so some sailors have to terminate the contract to make a living on their own. But if there is no one on their own boat, If it's a sailor, it's broken, not to mention normal maintenance, and even the most basic security work can't be done. Now Johnson is simply exhausted. Now even eating has become a problem. He can only make do every day. He went to the American consulate, but they were unable to do anything. Text Chapter 20 Got a big deal Chapter 20 Got a Big Deal He wanted to sell his goods to the largest foreign trade firm in Guangzhou, but the price offered by the Thirteenth Bank at that time was so low that he almost lost money. At this time, he had no other options. After a few days, he planned to agree to their request, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he ran to a small restaurant to fill his stomach. Unexpectedly, he met Li Zhenhua and his party. When he came here to eat today, he actually didn't know what he wanted to eat. Unexpectedly, a beautiful Chinese lady helped him out, and a Chinese gentleman, or a gentleman who knew English, let him have a meal. Full meal. "Ah! It's great that you know English!" Li Zhenhua smiled and said to him: "Yes. Please sit down." After briefly introducing himself, Li Zhenhua began to ask about Johnson's situation. He introduced his own situation. After that, he didn't care about his face anymore and said directly to Li Zhenhua: "Mr. Li, please help me. I have given you everything. You just need to let me return to the United States." Li Zhenhua sat back in his chair. He stretched out a finger and shook it twice and said: "No, no, it's not about me helping you now. I want to take care of you now." "What? Do you want to take care of me?" "Yes, I want to take care of you." "I want to use you." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I just want to use you." Johnson was stunned for a long time before he stood up and bowed to Li Zhenhua and said, "Please." Come and take a look at my boat." Several people came to the harbor dock near Ruyifang and saw ships of various sizes parked there. Among them was a small boat of several hundred tons with the American Stars and Stripes flying on it. Johnson pointed there. Said: "That's it." Several people then boarded the boat and got on board. Johnson led them to the warehouse. Li Zhenhua took a look and saw that there were rifles, artillery, ammunition, etc. Unexpectedly, he actually made bullets. Even skilled workers have simple equipment. Li Zhenhua took out a rifle and looked at it. The rifle was a replica of the German Mauser. The quality should be similar, but the price would be lower. Li Zhenhua was very happy. He walked around the ship and said: "How many pounds did you spend on these goods in total?" Johnson roughly calculated and said: "The goods cost about 300,000 pounds. Including the expenses, it was less than 400,000 pounds. Right. These things are almost killing me." Wang Xin also calculated it and said quietly to Li Zhenhua: "If you buy it in the market, it will cost about hundreds of thousands of taels, and it is not easy to buy. This time we got a big advantage." Li Zhenhua smiled and said nothing but nodded to her. (In the early Qing Dynasty, one tael of gold was equivalent to about ten taels of silver. In the late Qing Dynasty, one tael of gold was equivalent to about twenty taels and one tael of gold, about 800 pounds. This is an imaginary number. In addition, foreigners¡¯ guns and weapons need to be increased by three to four times to be shipped to China. The price is the highest. A rifle has been sold several times. It can be sold for one hundred and sixty taels of silver.) Several people came to Johnson's cabin. The place was also in a mess. He had no intention of cleaning up the place. He at least cleaned it up and asked Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin to sit down. Li Zhenhua said to Johnson: "I'm going to set up a Xinghua Shipping Company and ask you to be the deputy general manager of this company. Are you interested?" "Thank you, boss. I will definitely do a good job, but I just don't know what Boss Li wants me to do?" "No. If you are anxious, please listen to me slowly. I will give you one hundred thousand taels of silver now. When you return to the United States, you first recruit a group of shipbuilding talents. In order to resist the pirates, you also need to find ways to recruit some retired navy officers. I want to organize a strong team. "At the same time, you should pay attention to whether the United States has any cruisers for sale." Hearing this, Johnson knew that he had met a big shot and he was going to build a powerful maritime transport fleet, so he immediately expressed his position and said: "Okay, I will try my best to handle the things you entrusted me with." After saying that, he immediately started to find paper and pen to write down a contract. After finishing writing, Li Zhenhua saw that this was just a contract of betrayal. Li Zhenhua smiled. : "Okay, you and I will cooperate well from now on. You will definitely make a lot of money in the future." "Thank you, boss." Before he finished speaking, Li Zhenhua stopped him and said to him: "From now on, you and I will treat each other as brothers. Since you are older than me, you will be my big brother and I will be your brother.¡± Only then did Johnson feel that he had fallen into the sea and was about to die. Now he was not only alive but also alive. He was so happy that a big shot in China came to help him, he kept crossing himself on his chest. Li Zhenhua looked at him and said: "Okay, we should go celebrate." Johnson immediately said: "This time it should be done byI'm in for a treat. Wang Xin said from the side: "Are you rich?" " Johnson's words came quickly. He said immediately: "My boss is rich. After saying that, several people laughed together. Returning to the semicolon with Qingfeng, Wang Xin asked people to prepare a banquet. Then she pulled Li Zhenhua aside and said to him: "Do you believe in this person so much?" " Li Zhenhua said: "I think this person is okay. We helped him in crisis and he will not regret it. Besides, he must want me to help him make a lot of money. Besides, I didn¡¯t spend too much money to give him one hundred thousand taels of silver, right? " "Also," Li Zhenhua continued: "We still need to find some people who know English to help him. Could you ask the semicolon shopkeeper here if there is a suitable person? " "Okay, I'll go ask. "Wang Xin ran to Li Zhenhua and looked at Johnson's freight bill carefully. Basically, the things on Johnson's freight list were all what he needed, especially the equipment in the military factory. That was the most important thing. With these and the workers' own The arsenal can be opened. As long as the weapons it produces can make a lot of money, it will be even better if it can be shipped to sea. A large amount of money will roll in like water. If so, your own troops can After the expansion, it will be the year of Sino-Japanese War in five more years. That bastard in the east will attack us. At that time, we can¡¯t hit them from the sea. At least we have to hit them hard on land. Then we can give it to ourselves. The navy has some talent left, but many of the naval officers committed suicide. Time was tight. What could he do in five years? Li Zhenhua was determined to capture his own army even if he died of exhaustion. good. Text Chapter 21 The Father of Airships Chapter 21 The Father of Airships (Dear readers, from today onwards each chapter will be changed to 3,000 words or two chapters per day.) He was thinking that Wang Xin was back and the shopkeeper was also here. He said to Li Zhenhua: "Mr. wants it. There are quite a few people here. If you want to find more people, you have to go to Hong Kong. There are many people there who can speak English." Li Zhenhua said to him: "Show me the people you found. Let's go." The shopkeeper brought a few people in. Li Zhenhua talked with them for a while and selected two young and strong young men who spoke good English and had a wide range of knowledge. The others then sent them back. This time, there were only Li Zhenhua, Wang Xin, Johnson and the two new young people at the banquet. The conversation was not easy. During the banquet, Li Zhenhua asked about the two people in detail. One of them was a former student studying in the United States. His name was Huang Jianxin. Since the Qing government could not make good use of these people, they had no choice but to fend for themselves. He studied mechanical industry in the United States. The other person learned English in a British shipyard. His name was Gao Qiang. When they heard the news that Li Zhenhua asked them to work for him, they were very happy. After all, working for their own people was much better than working for the British. Li Zhenhua also asked them to help. After collecting talents themselves, they mentioned one person at the same time, that is "Xie Zuantai." Xie Zuantai's character is Chong'an. No. Kangru was born in Australia in 1871. His father's name was Xie Richang, who ran the Taib Import and Export Company in Australia and was a patriotic overseas Chinese. Xie Zuantai was influenced and educated by his father since he was a child and has strong patriotic ideas. When he was 12 years old. He once promised his father that when he grew up, he would return to his motherland and fight for the rejuvenation of China. In 1887, when Xie Zuantai was 16 years old, he left Sydney with his mother and younger siblings to live in Hong Kong and studied at Queen's College in Hong Kong. After graduation, he worked in the Public Works Bureau of Hong Kong. Xie Zuantai is good at mathematics and manual skills. After the news that Western countries successfully developed airships reached Hong Kong, he became interested in studying airships. Xie Zuantai began to develop China's airships in 1890 (it should be in 1894 that the author here asked him a few years ahead of schedule.) Now that the designs of the airship have been completed and have undergone many test flights, Xie Zuantai personally came to Beijing with the design drawings of the airship. He contributed his design to the Qing government in the hope of "immediately producing this weapon to fight the enemy" and expressed his willingness to "personally fly the airship to the front line to fight the enemy." It is a pity that the Qing court was "confused" and knew nothing about this latest scientific and technological achievement in the world at that time, so it did not pay enough attention to it. Xie Zuantai waited for a long time but received no reply. He was so worried that he fell ill. It turns out that China should have had its own airships in the year of Sino-Japanese War. But it died because of the ignorance of the corrupt and mediocre Qing government. When Li Zhenhua heard about airships, he was immediately attracted. He immediately decided to go to Hong Kong tomorrow to meet China's "Father of Airships" in person. He must meet this man. The Qing government looked down on him, but I fell in love with him. If we had this thing in the air to protect the Beiyang Navy in the naval battles in the Sino-Japanese War of 1891-1891, we would not have lost so miserably. In addition, our own army would have made Japan suffer. They were talking together and Li Zhenhua mentioned to them another person, Mr. Situ Meitang, an overseas Chinese in the United States. When he mentioned Mr. Situ, Johnson, Huang Yuxin and Gao Qiang all knew him, saying that he was a top figure among overseas Chinese in the United States and had a strong sense of belonging. Patriotic fervor has won great benefits for the Chinese in the United States. Many of his industries in the United States are famous Americans, and he also has a lot of investments in China. Li Zhenhua said to Johnson: "When you arrive in the United States, you can visit the old gentleman in the name of the company. If you have anything, you can also ask him for help." They talked together very late before resting, and everyone felt that it was too late to see each other. The next morning, they were all still asleep. Li Zhenhua had already gotten up. He wanted to arrange his work well. First, he had to transfer the goods from the sea ship to the inland ship, and then let his people come to pick him up and let Johnson arrange it. You don¡¯t have to wait for them to come back when you set off back to the United States. Li Zhenhua has already started on the ship to Hong Kong. Xie Zuantai, China's "Father of Airships," must win it into his hands. Wang Xin was so young that she snoozed and complained that she didn't have a good rest on the way. Li Zhenhua's schedule was so tight and he had never been so tired. Li Zhenhua said, "You can have a good rest after you see Xie Zuantai. I want to be with him very much." It¡¯s a good time to talk.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to think about it,¡± Wang Xin said, ¡°If you want to have a good rest, there¡¯s no way.¡± After saying this, his face turned red. But Li Zhenhua, who was rough-spoken, didn't hear the flaw in her words. They quickly arrived in Hong Kong by ship. The semi-colon there warmly received them and their party. They quickly found out where Xie Zuantai's family lived. When they arrived at Xie's house, Xie Zuantai was at home. After chatting with each other, Li Zhenhua went directly to the topic. Xie Zuantai introduced the airship he designed. Xie Zuantai was very happy when he heard it. No one in the Qing Dynasty understood this.When a man came to visit the airship issue, he took out all the drawings. Li Zhenhua looked at them carefully and asked a few questions. Xie Zuantai patiently gave him some explanations and then invited them to come to his house. After going to the backyard to see a real airship, Li Zhenhua began to ask some technical questions, such as how to control the carrying capacity and speed in strong winds. Another late meeting. Xie Zuantai told Li Zhenhua how he went to Beijing. He waited for a whole day in front of the Ministry of War Yamen before someone came out and said to him, "Master, I don't have time to look back now. Come back. Come back." After waiting for a month, there was still no one. Zhun Xin was seriously ill and had no choice but to come back. From then on, he no longer had the heart to do these things. After saying that, he still sighed: "How can such a country not be bullied by the big powers?" Li Zhenhua also sighed after hearing this. How can people be loyal to such a dizzy court? His people were heartbroken. They only want to cede territory and pay indemnity to please the great powers. Internally, they blindly squeeze the common people and make every common person bear a large amount of indemnity to ensure their luxurious and luxurious life. Li Zhenhua sorted out his emotions and said to Xie Zuantai: "After listening to what you said, I feel the same way. I am determined to make my country prosperous, and I hope you can help me." "As a scholar, how can I help you? " "Sir, what you said is wrong. As the old saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. If you, sir, can research airships, then your ability is greater than ordinary people. What I mean is, sir, please sell me this patent and let me produce it to protect us. This airship can be a powerful tool for protecting the country. It is also a very convenient tool for transportation." After hearing Li Zhenhua's words, Xie Zuantai immediately stood up and said, "Why do you really want it, sir?" Produce it?" "Yes." Li Zhenhua also stood up and said seriously to Xie Zuantai: "I want to make it a nightmare for everyone who dares to invade our country." When Xie Zuantai heard this, he was deeply moved by Li Zhenhua. He bowed and said: "Since sir, you want to work hard for a strong country, then I will give this invention to you. Not only the drawings, but also the prototype and myself are yours." Li Zhenhua hurriedly took a step forward and told Xie Zuantai. He made a formal military salute: "Then thank you in advance, sir." After saying that, the two of them held hands tightly together. Later, when Xie Zuantai talked about Li Zhenhua's personality charm to others, Xie Zuantai was so excited that his eyes were full of tears. Although he was no more than a thousand guns and a few hundred at that time, I just believed in him. From his eyes, I saw hope, that is There is hope that China will become stronger from now on, so I stood with him without hesitation. This made our friendship last for decades. Although I have been a little tired over the years, my heart is very fulfilling. I will die. I am also glad that I have made this decision in my life. I can say to myself with a clear conscience that my life is fighting to strengthen my motherland. Li Zhenhua and his party set out on their way home. After they left, Xie Zuantai's home received a silver note worth ten thousand taels. This was no longer a small amount in the Qing Dynasty, when a family could live with only two taels of silver a year. Li Zhenhua and the others hurriedly walked back all the way, mainly because it had been almost two months since they left home, and they just wanted to avoid anything happening at home. However, because some cultural figures like Xie Zuantai had been added to the queue, even though Li Zhenhua He was anxious in his heart but he didn't show it on his face. Xie Zuantai had already seen it and asked Li Zhenhua to leave first, but Li Zhenhua said to him: "You are much more valuable than us, and there are a few people like us who can't be as useful as you." He insisted on personally protecting Xie Zuantai's safety. Until home. We had already seen our mountain. When Li Zhenhua told everyone, they all asked us not to rest but to go back straight away. Li Zhenhua was also anxious, so he agreed. As a result, it was almost midnight when we reached the bottom of the mountain. He wanted people to take a rest, but At this time, someone from the opposite side shouted: "If anyone raises their hands and doesn't listen, we will shoot." Text Chapter 22 Preliminary Planning Chapter 22 Preliminary Planning Li Zhenhua was surprised and thought he had encountered bandits again. Just as he was about to answer, one of his guards said loudly: "It's Jiang Xiaogang, I'm Li Biao. I came back with the captain." "Brothers! The captain is back! No one is allowed to move. I'll take a look first." After a while, he saw a man coming in front of him. Li Zhenhua knew him as one of the subordinates of Liu Yongqiang, the captain of the second squadron. This man was good at shooting and was very down-to-earth. When he saw Li Zhenhua, he hurriedly bowed to him and said: "Captain, you are back, but you have made the brothers miserable." When Li Zhenhua saw the people on the mountain, he hurriedly asked: "How is it? Everything is fine on the mountain." "Everything is fine. Well, everyone hopes you can come back soon. " "I'm back now," "What are you doing here?" "We sent out sentries to patrol this area." "Okay, let's go up the mountain. "I'll send someone to take you up the mountain." "I still know the way." "It's not like there are many hidden posts on the road." Li Zhenhua heard that Zhang Xinghua is okay. The base was well defended, so Jiang Xiaogang sent someone to lead them up the mountain. Although it was already midnight, Zhang Xinghua and the others had not rested yet. When they heard that Li Zhenhua was back, they hurriedly ran out to greet them. "Brother, you've missed me so much since you've been gone. I don't know what to do every day since you left. I'm relieved now that you're back." After saying that, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve. Li Zhenhua was also very happy. She said to him with emotion: "Stop being like this, why are you acting like a girl?" Zhang Xinghua laughed sheepishly: "I'm happy. Look, you're just talking. You haven't eaten yet. I'll ask someone to give it to you." You guys hurry up and prepare the meal." The people below were busy preparing dinner. Several squadron leaders and some soldiers had also come over. They were all asking questions. Li Zhenhua happily introduced the newcomers to everyone and told them this. I also briefly shared with everyone the results of the trip. When the meal was served, they were eager to report to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said: "No need for you to worry about it for a while. I have already seen it on the way. I will just take a look at your training tomorrow." Li Zhenhua stood at dawn the next day. For nearly two months, those soldiers had not stopped training for a day. When Li Zhenhua stood in front of them, he looked at these soldiers who had been trained for a long time (they had all replaced them with new rifles and heavy machine guns). They were also in the queue (I'm sorry those artillery guns haven't appeared yet). He found that they had a murderous aura. Although they had not experienced any big battles, their long-term training was different from those pampered soldiers. Zhang Xinghua intended to be there. Li Zhenhua showed it in front of him and asked: "How is it? Is the morale good? Let them perform for you, okay?" Li Zhenhua smiled and said: "Okay, let's do morning exercises first and then let them perform for me after dinner. "The selected squadron will proceed." "Yes!" Zhang Xinghua agreed and immediately ran to the front of the queue to issue the order to start the morning exercise. After breakfast, the team went down the mountain to the shooting range. When they got there, they saw that the Second Squadron was already standing there. Liu Yongqiang, the captain of the Second Squadron, ran over and reported to Li Zhenhua: "Report to the captain that the Second Squadron has assembled, please allow permission to shoot." The shooting distance is 200 The step is about 150 meters, and the average of each class is about 90 rings. Li Zhenhua asked how the other squadrons were doing? Zhang Xinghua said: "The first squadron has an average of ninety-five rings, the third squadron has an average of ninety-four rings, and the fourth squadron has an average of ninety-six rings." "Isn't that right? How come the Wildcats only have ninety-six rings? He should be much better than you." " Their distance is about four hundred steps further than ours. "Oh, that's right. Let them hit me too." Wildcat immediately ran to the audience and shouted to his squadron. A voice said: "Fourth Squadron, run! Enter the shooting position." Sure enough, they ran to a place four hundred steps away from the target. They stopped as a squad and quickly entered the shooting place. Li Zhenhua's telescope was fixed on the target in the distance and he heard the wild cat. The order was "Bang, bang, bang." A burst of gunfire rang out and the soldiers stood up to report the target in the distance. The soldiers quickly calculated the number and immediately came up with an average of ninety-seven rings. Immediately the audience burst into warm applause. Li Zhenhua asked them to stop shooting. He asked Wild Cat: "How many rings can you shoot?" Wild Cat smiled and said: "I am about the same." Li Zhenhua said: "Then you can shoot a few shots and let us all see. ." "Okay!" Wildcat rushed down from the stands and ran away.He was about five hundred steps away from the target, then he lay down and said, "Bang, bang, bang." All three shots hit the bullseye directly, and the audience responded with warm applause. Then they asked a squadron to perform a bomb-dropping demonstration. The weight of the training bomb used was eight taels, which was really half a catty (the number used here was not the original scale of sixteen taels). The average is more than fifty meters. Then Li Zhenhua looked at the assassination performance. Li Zhenhua's face turned ugly because it was purely a performance and had no practical significance. People became nervous when they saw it, but Li Zhenhua didn't say anything. When he saw that it was already noon, he asked everyone to move the team. Taken back to the station to rest. Xie Zuantai, who had been watching the performance on the way back, asked Li Zhenhua: "How long has your team been training?" "What? Sir, do you have any advice?" "It's not that I, as a celebrity in Hong Kong, what kind of training the Qing government sometimes conducts We are invited to see it, but they definitely don¡¯t have such good training results as your army. That¡¯s why I ask this question.¡± ¡°Mr. Those who are dissatisfied must know that our country has always been angry with others. When warships and cannons are fired at our port, we have to listen to others. When Marshal Lin was in Guangzhou, they saw that they could not defeat them, so they went to fight elsewhere. As a result, they We still made a "Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing" to make us pay a lot of money. ""That's right." "If our army is strong and our country is strong, who would dare to bully us?" "Our country is still very powerful even if its navy is not strong. Isn¡¯t our navy number one in Asia now?¡± ¡°Mr. Xie, Asia¡¯s number one is no longer possible. We haven¡¯t added new warships for many years. Look at our neighbors. They have now surpassed us in terms of total tonnage of warships. They are still working hard to build their own warships, and they have always regarded us as their imaginary enemy. " "Yeah, those people in the court don't know what they are doing every day? Or does the old woman in the court know nothing? "I think I am the boss in the world." "Our coastal defense is not good. If we have your airship, we can attack them from the air." "Then what kind of airship are you planning to build?" Our airship can carry heavy machine guns to attack the enemy's warships so that they can't hit our people with cannons. The other two can be used to bring bombs to directly kill the enemy's warships." After hearing what Li Zhenhua said, Xie Zuantai didn't say anything. This gentleman really dares to think about it. If the airship is equipped with a heavy machine gun, it will be easier to say. If it is equipped with two bombs, it will be less than one ton. Plus what is the carrying capacity of the operator? Xie Zuantaizhen began to worry about the capabilities of his airship. At this time Li Zhenhua said: "Mr. Xie, don't worry. Let's build our first airship first and then we can study the next step." "Well, it seems we have no choice but to do this first. As long as you support me. I must put the most perfect airship in your hands. Let's do it. From today on, I will start working. You don't treat me as a guest anymore. You are working hard to build your powerful army, and I have to contribute myself. "Li Zhenhua formally held a meeting in the afternoon. He first talked about the harvest of this trip to Guangzhou. The ship of arms had already been received by his own army and sent people to the United States to collect talents and introduce technology. By the time his own airship designer was ready to put the airship into commercial operation. The brothers on the mountain also reported on the recent situation. In the past two months when Li Zhenhua was away, they attacked two more cottages. His subordinates added several hundred brothers and the banknotes now totaled more than one million taels. This made Li Zhenhua listen a lot. Happy. The next step of the work is mainly divided into two aspects. First, the military aspect is to step up military training and recruit new recruits as soon as possible so that the entire army can master various new weapons such as heavy machine guns, artillery, etc. On the other hand, Xinghua Company was established to devote major efforts to industrial investment. The focus was first on an ammunition factory and then on the production of guns and the establishment of an airship manufacturing and research base. Johnson's ship will later be used as a merchant ship for offshore transportation and establish its own simple seaport in Fangcheng County, the most remote area of ??Guangdong (Fangcheng County was part of Guangxi Province at that time). Hearing Li Zhenhua's plan, everyone felt that the step was too big. But Li Zhenhua knew that the country he was in was already at a critical juncture. Five years later, once China and Japan went to war, except for Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Navy, the other armies were at a disadvantage. What awaited the Qing government was the reparations, and the people were repaying the money, which further boosted Japan's economic strength. Therefore, no matter what, we must act quickly to improve the economy as soon as possible and then strengthen the army. Only in this way can we curb the madness of the Japanese. Text Chapter 23 Meeting with King Qian Chapter 23: Meet the King of Qian (Dear friends: I will post one chapter this Sunday afternoon and add another chapter tonight.) After taking down several bandits¡¯ villages, in the next two months, the troops on the mountain did not harm the people around them. The common people feel that the world has changed. These bandits on the mountain do not infringe on the people around them at all, and they often come down the mountain to buy things. It is a fair trade for the common people. When the common people encounter any difficulties, they still have to help, which makes the people nearby The common people were very incomprehensible when they saw them looking happy together. Some of them also had the idea of ??going to their mountains to serve as soldiers. At least they could have a good meal and saw that the young soldiers were not angry among them. Just like buddies and brothers. What I have seen before is that there is absolutely no equality between the officers and soldiers of the Qing army or the bandits. When the mountain posted recruitment notices in the surrounding areas, some people soon asked to come to the mountain to serve as soldiers. But Li Zhenhua clearly saw that there were too few educated people. This was no good. They could only serve as handymen in the factory and not be good soldiers. In the future, if we want to recruit workers or recruits, we will have to go to cities such as Kunming, Nanning, and Guangzhou. Recruited. Now, if an ordinary artilleryman doesn't have any culture, he can only be a fifth gunner or a sixth gunner. It will be much more difficult to aim at something. There is also the need to expand the company's influence and then recruit workers nationwide. It seems that I have to go to Kunming. Firstly, I am recruiting workers. Secondly, I also happen to go to Kunming to meet the "King of Money". I have caused a lot of trouble in some of the semicolons below, so I should go and thank him. Li Zhenhua arranged the work at home. First, the army's action plan was to continue to annihilate nearby cottages with great public anger, and recruit those who could be recruited. And he himself set off to Kunming again. After more than two months of horseback riding training, Li Zhenhua's equestrian skills have been greatly improved. The cavalry is meaningless in modern warfare, but at that time, the cavalry was used as a rapid Troops appeared. You should also consider having cavalry in your own army, especially in the mountainous areas and the vast steppes of Mongolia. It would be unimaginable without cavalry. Kunming is famous for its excellent climate. It is said to be the "Spring City". Its annual average temperature is more than 20 degrees and there is not much change in the four seasons. People often say that it is like spring all year round. There is a neat, refreshing and great shopping street in Kunming next to Green Lake. As a traditional street, Qianju Street itself has a "street age" of 230 years and can be regarded as one of the oldest streets in Kunming. The residence of "Qian King" Wang Chi is here. Wang Chi, who has been ill at home recently, passed away early today. He got up to greet a guest from afar. This guest was none other than Li Zhenhua and his entourage. Since they had already told the old man that they did not know when they would arrive, the old man waited patiently at his home and they did not arrive until nearly noon. They just entered the Wang residence inconspicuously. , coupled with people's rumors, people have become full of legend about Li Zhenhua's team, which is neither a bandit nor an officer. Mr. Wang Chi had been waiting outside the hall early. The old man is now nearly seventy years old and not in good health. People did not let him greet him outside, but he insisted on waiting outside the door. He could not see Wang Xin and the others from afar. As soon as he came, he hurriedly greeted him. Li Zhenhua carefully observed this legendary figure in modern China. Wang Chi, known as the "King of Money", looked older than him due to his long years of hard work. It was just the sparkle in his eyes that made people not to underestimate him. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old man. Wang Chi hurriedly supported Li Zhenhua. Wang Chi had seen countless people in his life. With his many years of experience, he had already seen at a glance that this young man was definitely not an ordinary person. He saved him. His grandniece and his own caravan saved him from any loss. As Wang Chi, he was very grateful to him in his heart. Wang Chi welcomed Li Zhenhua and his entourage and entered the hall directly. The servants served tea and retreated automatically. Only the three of them were left in the hall. Wang Chi spoke quickly to Li Zhenhua: "Listen to the people below talking about your rescue." Our caravan and my granddaughter, I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so young." Li Zhenhua said hurriedly: "Things have caught up, we can only help out and make the seniors laugh, but I am here in Guangzhou. "Okay, but it has caused a lot of trouble for the old man." "Hahahaha" the old man laughed happily: "Okay, let's not say thank you to each other anymore. It seems that we will continue to cooperate well in the future." I just wish that if there were more people like Mr. We in China, our Chinese nation would not be bullied by the foreign powers like it is now." In one sentence, the old man's concern for the country and the people was immediately revealed. Li Zhenhua hurriedly said: "It's the juniors. I have no other idea than to make our country prosperous and strong so that it will no longer be bullied by foreign powers." "I also mean this, but it's just my age.I have no choice but to place my hopes on you. In the future, if necessary, just say a word to your little girl. Let her stay with you from now on, so that she can learn some skills to save the country and the people sooner or later. "Wang Xin's face turned red again after hearing what the old man said. Li Zhenhua was stunned after hearing this. What didn't he say? The old man gave himself a big check. This is too unbelievable. The old man He said with a smile: "What? Sir, don¡¯t you think I am a bit violent? " "No, this junior just feels a little flattered. " "Sir, please rest assured that if you are doing it for the prosperity of the country, I will not hesitate to go bankrupt. " At this time, a servant came in and asked for instructions: "Master, lunch has been prepared and left there. "The old gentleman said: "Just here. " The old man had a small appetite because he was older. He just ate some with him, but Li Zhenhua quickly put down his chopsticks because he ate quickly. The servants came in to clean up. Wang Chi asked Li Zhenhua to go to his study. Li Zhenhua followed the old man to his study. On a painting in the nave to the north is a portrait of Yue Wumu, flanked by a pair of couplets, which turned out to be Wen Tianxiang's two sentences: "Since ancient times, no one has left a lasting impression on history." " The old man sat down and motioned to Li Zhenhua to please sit down. He picked up the tea and said to Li Zhenhua: "If you want to make the country strong, you must first strengthen your army. If you want to strengthen your army, you must have sufficient economic strength. I don't know what you think, sir. " "This is exactly what I mean. If there is no strong economic strength to back it up, there will be no strong army. Likewise, if there is no strong army to defend the country, no matter how rich you are, you will be the meat of others. " "No one has talked to me about these words for many years. Those officials are either complaining about others or sinking themselves. They never want to do anything on their own. What they want to do is just for the sake of appearance rather than solving the problem fundamentally. . " "This is a matter of officialdom. What we see above is that these things are done specifically to meet the requirements from above. " "My daughter and I are not very clear. Please tell me how you plan to proceed. I am not trying to treat you. I just want to hear your thoughts or plans on how to proceed. You have your own rules. I I won't interfere with you. " "Thank you, senior. I just ask my seniors to listen to my thoughts and hope that my seniors can give me some advice. " "If you don't dare, please tell me. " So the two started talking in the study. No one knows exactly what they said, but later they both said: "One chat with you is better than ten years of reading. " Half a month later, Li Zhenhua returned to his base, but next to Tianshunxiang's head office, there was a sign saying "Xinghua Company Kunming Branch" and a recruitment notice in front of the door: "Our company is currently recruiting various employees due to work needs. If you are interested in technical staff and security personnel, please come inside to discuss. "The requirements for various technical workers and the conditions for security personnel are explained in detail later. The same scene also appeared in Nanning and Guangzhou. There is also a branch of "Xinghua Company" recruiting next to Tianshunxiang Company in Nanning and Guangzhou. Various technical personnel and security personnel. Li Zhenhua temporarily entrusted Wang Xin to take charge of all the business of Xinghua Company. It must be said that Wang Xin is also a genius in business. With Wang Chi's consent, all branches of Tian Shunxiang strongly supported the three branches at the same time. The three branches of the business soon came to life. The factory on the mountain also started operations. First, they produced their own bullets. At the same time, they began to sell their three big buyers to the military in the three surrounding provinces. The weapons are cheap and good. The market price is 160 or 70 taels for a rifle. They only sold 120 taels for a rifle at that time, and the quality is similar to imported guns. The cost is less than 10 taels. Of course, arms are profits. One of the largest industries also sells a large number of bullets. Several armies only want rifles and bullets. They don't want machine guns and artillery. Now they can't produce these themselves. Let's talk about it later. As for grenades, they won't be released yet. This needs to be kept secret. Let¡¯s show it when it¡¯s time to start fighting with foreigners. Just after Li Zhenhua returned to the mountain, a young man named Ding Jixian came from Kunming. It turned out that his ancestors had already invented the rocket in 1850. The famous scientist Ding Gong at that time. Chen and Ding Shoucun's rocket has a range of 660 meters. The five-hole Spitfire Qing on the rear bottom started to manufacture the British "Congreve" rocket at that time, but stopped because the funding problem was not solved. The two scientists saved their efforts. Wang Chi sent someone to contact them and said that when someone wanted their technology, their descendants ran over as soon as they heard about it. They were attracted by Li Zhenhua at the first sight and immediately started testing new weapons. Text Chapter 24 Developing Fangchenggang Chapter 24 Developing Fangchenggang The arsenal on the mountain is busy. Under Li Zhenhua's instruction, a new type of small cannon appeared. Its barrel is only a few tens of centimeters in height and its caliber is 50 millimeters. The shells are very small, only a few kilograms. There are a few tail fins on the back. The artillery shell has a range of only a few hundred meters and flies very slowly, but its trajectory is parabolic and can directly hit the enemy's firepower point or the enemy's commander. But these are secrets and they are absolutely not allowed to tell outsiders. After several test firings, they dealt with various conditions of the small cannon and quickly met Li Zhenhua's design requirements. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, they only produced a small number and stopped. In the future, they will have to purchase from the United States or other places. It will only take a few more seamless steel pipes to import, otherwise it will be a big problem if they are actually used. Ding Jixian's main focus was on the development of rocket launchers. Han Zhichao specially assigned him a few manpower. Li Zhenhua also divided these people into tasks. Xie Zuantai was mainly responsible for airships and Gao Qiang was responsible for the construction of the port. Huang Jianxin and Han Zhichao were responsible for the production of guns and ammunition. and development. Xie Zuantai's progress there was very fast. His airship had all been reinstalled. Li Zhenhua looked at its test flight and put forward some new opinions and requirements. Xie Zuantai immediately started a new round of tests. Although life is not as good as in Hong Kong, the relationship between people here is very good, which makes Xie Zuantai feel very comfortable. Li Zhenhua came to Fangcheng Port in Guangxi, a port in later generations. He looked around and felt that this should be a good port. However, the current Fangcheng is very desolate, with stones of all sizes and various weeds and trees growing all over the place. Li Zhenhua decided that this was the place where there was almost no human habitation for dozens of miles. He sent people to Nanning to find Hebri, his defeated general, and told him that he wanted to rent a piece of land in Fangcheng for construction. Hebri was very loyal and immediately went to Fangcheng to find the local magistrate. He told him that a friend of his wanted to rent a piece of land on the beach of Fangcheng for construction. When the magistrate saw Shangguan's arrival, he warmly entertained Hebri's request. Full support. Anyway, this is a loan from Emperor Tiangao and it is not for foreigners. He expressed full support. Regarding the rent issue, it is a place where birds can't shit. It can't create any income for itself all year round. It should be given to provincial officials. Just a favor. Hebry was very happy when he saw it and immediately ran to Fangcheng to tell Li Zhenhua the news. So Li Zhenhua immediately wrote a lease contract and asked Hebry to make another trip to Fangcheng County to have it stamped. The term of the contract is long-term. One hundred and eighty taels of silver will be given to Fangcheng County every year for three years first. If the situation improves, more will be given. According to some current YY books, it is said that the silver is not much, but in fact it is already quite a lot. . (Mr. Wang Jiafan of later generations once listed the prices of several items based on the information provided by "Shen's Farm Book", "Yueshibian", "Chen Queji" and other books (Note: Wang Jiafan: "Consumption Customs and Consumption Customs in Jiangnan in the Ming and Qing Dynasties") A description of the consumption structure: An Exploration of the Consumer Economy in Jiangnan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Journal of East China Normal University" (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition), Issue 2, 1988: "Pork (per kilogram) is 2 cents or 2.5 cents. Goose (only) is 1 cent and 4 cents." , five points of light wine (per catty), two points of eggs (10 catties), five points of fish and shrimp (per catty), two points of duck eggs (10 catties), four points of chicken (per catty), and five points. Mr. Wang is based on roughly the Ming and Qing Dynasty There is no exact time in the book. In order to confirm the relevant information, we selected two specific years from Yao Tinglin's "Li Nian Ji" to arrange this: (1) At the end of the 25th year of Kangxi (1686), rice (per stone) was nine The cost is five cents (per catty), one cent and six cents of chestnuts (per catty), fifteen cents of fresh meat (per catty), twenty-two cents of dates (per catty), twelve cents of longan (per catty), four cents of peach (per catty) ) Twenty Wen sugar (per catty) Twenty Wen oranges (per catty) Fifteen Wen (2) In the 32nd year of Kangxi (1693), white rice (per load) cost nine cents and five cents (per catty) one cent and six. 10% dried bamboo shoots (per catty) 3% fresh meat (per catty) 2% 3% bacon (per catty) 20% sugar (per jin) 20% candle (per catty) 50%. 1695): The price of beans (per kilogram) is five cents and five cents, pickled and fresh meat (per kilogram) is twenty cents each, fish (per kilogram) is 20 cents each, salmon (larger ones are per kilogram) is ten cents, and white rice (per kilogram) is priced at eight cents). . A group of people were busy on the seaside south of Fangcheng. They were going to build a port here. The county magistrate took their money and generously allocated a piece of land for them with a stroke of his pen. He thought it would be several hundred square kilometers. This is a place where no one can poop. If you want it, just go ahead and do it. I don't care as long as you give me money. The amount of money I gave is probably his two years' salary. Li Zhenhua and Gao Qiang led their advance team to the seaside of Fangcheng. He first carefully looked at the terrain here. It was very desolate, there were no inhabited people, and the roads were inoperable. The people under his command could not understand the development of this place, but out of respect for Li Zhenhua, they did not. What to sayBut Li Zhenhua said to them: "We will build our own base here to guard the sea. From here we can go to the world. Our future warships will set out from here to dominate the world's navies." He did not say where this will be in the future. It will be their own submarine base. Of course, their goal is that hateful neighbor. When a large number of migrant workers arrived, construction work began in full swing. First, those who had no food to eat and farmers who lost their land came in, and then people who brought up their families. The life of farmers in the Qing Dynasty was very hard. Money was not available. As long as the money maker is in charge of food, they first built a road leading to Fangcheng County and then built a dock. A group of migrant workers were working on the beach. There was a young man there. Although he was very tanned, he was very energetic. Those migrant workers were working together and he asked people to build the roads. He said, "If you want to get rich, build the roads first." People just laughed it off and no one believed him. No one thought about the true meaning of his words. Ten years later, when people talked about their national leader, they said: "At that time, no one who worked with him could have imagined that he would be the emperor of our Chinese Empire in the future." Li Zhenhua worked and ate together with people. He was very fond of people. Li Zhenhua was very concerned about the lives of those who lived in collectives. It was good to say that they ate in collective canteens, but the lives of those with families were still relatively poor. Li Zhenhua went to the homes of some migrant workers to take a look. There were low shacks built with various materials among the woods by the sea. A group of women were sitting in a shady place in the forest, busy with their needlework. When they saw a young stranger coming, they looked at each other. No outsiders have ever come here before. People from the lowest social stratum have no one to care about. It is an unprecedented first time for them to see outsiders come. He bent down and entered people's shacks and took a look inside. The ground was only covered with some grass. He scooped up a ladle of water and took a sip. He opened his mouth and it turned out that the water at the seaside is salty. The young man frowned but said nothing and walked out and went to another house. There was a sick child lying on the firewood on the ground. A middle-aged woman was standing next to him. When the stranger came in, the woman raised her head. The young man glanced at him and said nothing. He walked up and touched the child's head with his hand. The temperature on the child's head was very high. He asked, "Is the child sick?" The woman just nodded numbly. Li Zhenhua When he went up, he picked up the child and said to the woman: "Follow me." After saying that, he held the child and walked out of the door. He walked all the way to the road construction headquarters. The woman followed him to the road construction shed. The young man there said to a worker: "Go and call the doctor quickly. This child is sick." A soldier ran out and after a while a man carrying a medicine box came in. The man quickly took out his things, first touched the child's head with his hand, and then listened to the child's chest with an object. He carried the child to a wooden bed and took out a few small ones from his bag. The jar took some small white round-shaped tablets from inside and some water to feed the child. He soaked his own white towel in cold water and tied it on the child's head. Only then did he say to the mother of the child: "It doesn't matter. Just rest here for a few days and the child will be fine." At this time, the nervous middle-aged woman's face relaxed. She hurriedly knelt down and gave it to Li Zhenhua. Kowtow to the doctor, another big man rushed in from the door. After he came in, he stood in front of the woman and blocked the woman from shouting at the doctor. But in a blink of an eye, he saw the child lying on the bed again. Then he pounced on the child again. The woman hurriedly pulled him away and pointed at the doctor. Li Zhenhua pointed at the doctor and kept talking. Then he saw that the angry expression on the man's face was replaced by a look of confusion. The woman said something nice and forced him to kneel down and kowtow to Li Zhenhua together. When Li Zhenhua saw it, he hurried over and helped him up, patted his shoulder and asked him to sit down. A guard brought him a bowl of water, but he didn't drink the water. He was just crying and gesticulating with his hands. But there were people in the room. No one understood his gestures. Everyone was in a hurry. Two more people came in outside the door. They came in, saluted Li Zhenhua first, and then explained: "They are local ethnic minorities who help us build roads. The children who are sick and have no money to look after have been dragging them around. Today, I will see you." He came running as soon as the child was taken away and we followed him. Fortunately, nothing happened. " "Okay, explain it to them and tell them that the child will have to stay here for two days to get better, so they don't worry. . The others went aside to have a meeting with me.¡± Text Chapter 25 Start making money Chapter 25: Start making money So one person was left to explain to the couple, and the other people went outside for a meeting with Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said seriously to everyone: "The purpose of our work now is to let the common people live a good life. Now their living conditions are very miserable. We must find ways to improve them. To solve the problem of rain protection, at least we must make them unable to live in rainy days." The leaky family will first give two pieces of raincloth so that it will not leak when it rains. Next, they will get a batch of cloth from Guangzhou or Nanning to build tents for them. 2. Bring spring water from the mountain and stop people from drinking salty water. 3. Solve the problem for them. Some anti-mosquito and anti-venomous snake medicines will be used to ensure safety. From now on, anyone who comes to work in Fangcheng will be given two months¡¯ salary in advance, half food and half cash, so that they can settle down before starting work. Find people who understand what they say to help them solve any problems in advance. We must also do these things well for workers who live in collectives, so that their work cannot be affected by their inability to adapt to life. This is an order for whoever will manage here in the future. Tell them my words." From then on, this sentence has been implemented as a rule. The next day, a food convoy came to their residence, and some health workers spread anti-mosquito and anti-venomous snake medicine around their residence. At the same time, a team of workers came to help the new workers arrange accommodation. Li Zhenhua personally led several people up the mountain to find water sources. The weather in southern China was very hot. Li Zhenhua personally led some technicians and soldiers to the mountain. They first followed the water from the mountain spring upstream to find the source of the mountain water, and then carefully Technicians surveyed the terrain, how to draw mountain springs down the mountain, how to dig channels to divert water, and how to convert water power into electricity. In the future, large-scale industrial construction will be carried out here. Without power resources, it is impossible to use thermal power to generate electricity. With water and electricity. A few days later, a group of soldiers and migrant workers went up the mountain. After working for a few days, they finally led the mountain spring down the mountain, through their residence, and then into the sea. Li Zhenhua also agreed with the migrant workers that they should maintain personal hygiene and environmental sanitation, not wash clothes in mountain spring water and dump garbage in the water, and improve the physical fitness of the workers. If they need to wash clothes, they should bring up water to wash their clothes and do not use water to wash clothes. Pour it into the spring water. Next to the original simple shacks, simple small bamboo buildings with national style and tents began to be built. When the workers saw those people being so kind to them, they were very moved and ran to the construction site without waiting for the work at home to be completed. Asked to go to work. It used to be that people had to go home from get off work at noon every day to have a meal, but now it has been changed to ask family members to deliver meals to the construction site. After the meal, the family members have to help work until it is almost dark before they go home together. The workers are even more energetic. When I got older, I would finish work very late every day and go home. As soon as Li Zhenhua saw it, he immediately asked someone to increase their salary by one person. This made the progress of the project much faster and soon a main road was completed. For the children of migrant workers, Li Zhenhua also thought of a way to prevent them from running around and built a primary school for them. After that, Chinese people must improve their quality. Without education, where can we start? Then start treating them from now on. For the cultural education of children, one person should be arranged nearby to manage a group of children. In a place with a small number of children, if tens are asked to stare at dozens of children in a place with many children, then just arrange a few more people. The teaching materials should not only contain the "Three Character Classic" "Hundred Family Surnames" also wants them to learn arithmetic. It will not work if they don't know how to do it later. Gao Qiang's task was to build a wharf. First, they dredged the seaside, and then they started building the wharf there. At the beginning, Li Zhenhua told Gao Qiang that it would be built into a wharf that could dock six thousand tons of cargo ships. Gao Qiang didn't understand it at first, but Li Zhenhua asked him to use development. Gao Qiang looked at the problem from a clear perspective and understood it immediately. He immediately revised the design drawing and designed it according to new ideas. There are many problems involved in building the wharf, the most important of which is cement. Cement was invented by the British in 1796. Although it is said that buying British equipment is a relatively large investment, we cannot produce such equipment now and have to use them. Fortunately, our Xinghua company has already opened up in Guangzhou. The British saw that their business volume was huge and there was a possibility of long-term cooperation in the future. Therefore, when Xinghua company proposed to purchase equipment, they did not ask for the price and imported it to them at a more reasonable price. A set of equipment for a medium-sized factory. Because China was relatively backward at that time, they also brought the design drawings and technical workers for installation and production. Li Zhenhua saw that he was quite satisfied with the British and immediately started the construction of the factory. The cement factory was put into operation and soon cement was produced. Li Zhenhua knew that there was a lot of dust in cement production. He specifically asked to pay attention to the physical health of the workers and at least ensure that workers had a mask during production. But no one had seen this mask, so Li Zhenhua first designed one and then organized it. Some women enter?The processing quickly reached one person per person, and nutritious meals were added to the workers and their wages were increased. This made the British very confused about the problems that even they did not notice at home. However, Li Zhenhua, a backward Chinese, did Thinking of the many things they didn't expect, Li Zhenhua said in his heart that if there were foreign prisoners in the future, all the dirty and tiring work would be left to them. Li Zhenhua has invested a lot in this period of time, but his finance minister doesn't seem to be worried about his investment at all. He just throws the money out without blinking an eye. In this aspect, Wang Xin is better than all others. People can clearly see that once the port is built and a few ships get on board, the money will roll in. Things have already been seen. Li Zhenhua's first sea-going ship has already begun to transport the things he needs from Guangzhou, and the products here are shipped out. The products between the two places have also begun to flow. They first bought two old boats and repaired them, and then went to Guangzhou to start their maiden voyage and earn their first commercial operation funds. For this reason, Li Zhenhua called his brothers together to celebrate. At the meeting, he said to everyone: "Brothers, today we have our first income. This is a day worth remembering forever. This is the first amount of money we have earned since we pursued the path of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Without a strong army, we cannot guarantee that our country will not be bullied by foreign powers. However, if a strong army does not have a powerful and wealthy country to support it, it is absolutely impossible. This is the two legs that are indispensable for our development and progress in the future. . I hope that each of us will keep in mind that one is the military and the other is the economic guarantee. One of the two prerequisites is to improve the quality of our citizens, that is, to enable children to read and study. If there is no culture, it will not work. "Everyone understands why Li Zhenhua has to spare time from his intense work to teach and educate the children. At the same time, he also opened night schools for the workers to organize their studies and also explained some things to them. A relatively simple understanding of the principles of fire control. This is what some intellectuals in the late Qing Dynasty called opening up the people's wisdom. At today's party, people did not return as drunk as usual. Everyone was thinking about Li Zhenhua's words. People used to just admire Li Zhenhua and act as you command me. However, Li Zhenhua's words today require everyone to think seriously. . Everyone has to put themselves into a new perspective and consider the problem. Then it is not a question of how Li Zhenhua directs the actions below, but a question of how to exert all his abilities and wisdom under his command. Li Zhenhua also sent people to Fuzhou, which is the birthplace of the Chinese Navy, and recruited a group of workers near the Mawei Shipyard there, as well as some naval soldiers who had been lost among the people after the Mawei Battle. Since the Chinese Navy did not have many warships after the Sino-French War, Many outstanding designers and workers were unemployed. When Xinghua Company went to recruit workers, people didn't hesitate at all. Soon they arrived. After arriving, the people on the construction site warmly received them. There was plenty of work, as long as they were willing to do the work and Life is absolutely problem-free. Just looking at where the employees live, people are very happy and the salary given is much higher. The workers have settled down and started their work immediately. Li Zhenhua discovered among the new arrivals that several people studied poetry and Qiao Delu. Based on their own experiences, it turned out that they were all "returnees" who had studied abroad. Together, they also designed China's first cruiser "Pinglan". Far" number. As soon as Li Zhenhua saw that this was going to be good, this place would produce its own cruisers and he immediately decided to let them be the director and chief engineer of Fangcheng Shipyard. Factory director You Xuushi asked him to first be responsible for the construction of the shipyard and dock. Chief engineer Qiao Delu began to design his first transport ship. After Johnson imported the equipment from the United States, it could be put into production. There is another person, that is, the famous Zhan Tianyou. It turned out that he was an officer in the Fujian Navy. Due to the defeat, he was discouraged. When Xinghua Company went to recruit workers, he also came. Li Zhenhua, of course, could not let him go to the navy as a gunner. Let him first design the railway from the port area to Fangcheng County and then from Qinzhou to Nanning. Set up a railway construction design team with him as the leader, conduct on-site inspections first, and then fully support him financially and materially. Text Chapter 26 Rushing to Zhennanguan Pass Chapter 26 Rushing to Zhennanguan After hearing the news, Zhan Tianyou was very happy. He studied civil construction engineering abroad. But after arriving in China, the Qing government was not in the mood to build railways and had to let him work as an engineer in the Fujian Navy. When a junior officer told him to pursue his own profession, he couldn't believe it. He asked Li Zhenhua several times and asked Li Zhenhua several times. When Li Zhenhua entrusted him with full responsibility, he shed tears with excitement and immediately told Li Zhenhua that he must do it. Do your own work well. Li Zhenhua knew that he died early due to fatigue, so he repeatedly told him to pay attention to a good rest and the body is the capital of work. He must take good care of his body and never get exhausted. This made Zhan Tianyou very moved. He made up his mind to Li Zhenhua to repair the railway from Qinzhou to Nanning with high quality and quantity. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin discussed it during dinner. Li Zhenhua asked Wang Xin to go to Guangzhou and send a telegram to Johnson in the United States to ask him to prepare to import shipbuilding equipment. Faced with the problem of having to go to Guangzhou to send telegraphs, Li Zhenhua immediately came up with the idea of ??building a telegraph room in Fangcheng. Li Zhenhua was busy building a base on the mountain. Someone was sent to look for him. There was also an officer from the Qing army who came with him. It turned out that because Li Zhenhua killed three foreigners, the governor of Guangxi told them that the bandits on the mountain village had done it. Now the bandits are gone. They were annihilated and avenged for them, but the French were still unwilling to find excuses to use troops against me again and again. They crossed the border many times to provoke me. The court strictly ordered the governor of Guangxi and the governor of Yunnan to be responsible for their respective defense areas and not to allow the French to enter the country. However, due to the backward weapons of the officials, the armies of the two provinces had several frictions. Although the Qing army drove away the French army, they did not take advantage of it. This time, the French army gathered more than 2,000 people on the front line of Zhennanguan to suppress the border again. A large number of artillery pieces were brought in and were eyeing me. General Hebri, who was let go last time, faced the French army's scorching momentum on the border this time. He knew that this time he could not withstand it no matter what, so he reported it to Tang Jiong, the governor of Yunnan who was in charge of border affairs. Li Zhenhua's army. Tang Jiong, the governor of Yunnan, is a relatively honest official with advanced ideas. After hearing this situation, he thought about it and thought that those people might come down to help. They have a profound relationship with Liu Yongfu. Liu Yongfu is a mortal enemy of the French, so he He wrote a letter in his own handwriting asking Hebry to send people to the mountain stronghold to talk to Li Zhenhua and ask them to come down to help deal with the French army. People were sent to the mountain, but Li Zhenhua was not on the mountain. No one at home could make the decision, so the two had no choice but to run to Fangcheng together. Li Zhenhua took Tang Jiong's letter and Wang Xin recognized Tang Jiong's handwriting. It turned out that this was really Tang Jiong's autograph letter, which meant to ask Li Zhenhua to come out and jointly fight against the French invasion. After reading the letter, Li Zhenhua immediately expressed his position: "We will act immediately, but due to the scattered locations of various ministries, it may take us longer, but we will definitely try our best to rush to the border area." The Qing army said: "My lord, the main force of the French army is Please send troops quickly in the Zhennanguan area." Li Zhenhua said: "Go back immediately and tell Mr. Tang that we will be here soon. The straight-line distance to Zhennanguan is four hundred miles, and it will be further by mountain road. You must hold on for five days. We can arrive there." When the Qing army heard this, he was stunned. If our army had reached such a distance, it would not take more than ten days or half a month. He dared to say five days. The Qing army officer thought for a moment and did not speak. Just left. Li Zhenhua immediately asked the communications corps to release homing pigeons and ordered the troops to immediately advance to the Zhennanguan area to meet up with him. After arriving, you can ask the local Qing army if you have anything. At the same time, several factory directors were invited to Han Zhichao, Xie Zuantai, Gao Qiang, You Xueshi and others to tell them about the situation and said to them: "We have a total of more than 200 troops here and 50 troops from another squadron of my guard. I leave my guards to you to protect you." He then said to the guard captain Li Biao: "These factory directors and chief engineers are our technical talents. From now on, our development will all depend on them. We must not let them. They have something going on. You have to be prepared to protect them when they go into the mountains." Director You and Mr. Qiao were unwilling to go to fight with the French because they hated the French. When I heard they were coming again, I wanted to fight them to the death. When Li Zhenhua heard that, the two of them were very bloody and hurriedly said to them: "Fighting in battle is not your strong point, but the products you make are you fighting the enemy with your own hands. I just hope that you can build our warship as soon as possible." After hearing this, Li Zhenhua said to them in a hurry. People finally calmed down and agreed with Li Zhenhua's words and no longer asked to go to the front line. Li Zhenhua then ordered the troops to assemble. He was going to mobilize the soldiers for a rapid march. He said to everyone: "Brothers, the French are coming to us again. We are sworn enemies with those French. If they don't come, we still want to find them. Now they are sending them away." superiorThe door is coming. We have been training for a period of time just to deal with them. Now we have to march 400 miles in three days to reach Zhennanguan and teach the French a lesson. This time, I hope we can defeat China. Brothers, do you have faith in the power of a person? " "have! "The soldiers roared loudly together. "Well, it's up to us now. Get ready now and leave in twenty minutes! " Bringing weapons, ammunition, and dry food, all the troops marched towards Zhennanguan. On the way, Li Zhenhua and some veterans carried double guns. Some of the horses accompanying the team were all loaded with military supplies. Two days later, some new soldiers could no longer keep up. They all had blood blisters on their feet. Li Zhenhua had to separate some people who could not keep up with the team and let them advance as the second echelon. He led the two teams to advance quickly. The military situation was urgent and he had to speed up. On the third day, Li Zhenhua led his troops. When they arrived at a place about fifty miles away from Zhennanguan, they saw some Qing troops who had retreated after a defeat. It turned out that the French army concentrated a large number of artillery and violently bombarded the Zhennanguan area. The Qing army's artillery was not as many as theirs, and Zhennan quickly The pass was lost. The Qing troops who had to hold on to the danger were not prepared. The French troops kept attacking. The Qing troops just ran away and had no understanding of the enemy's situation. Li Zhenhua ordered the troops to stop temporarily and asked the troops to wait if the enemy's situation was unclear. He took a few soldiers to the front to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. When the Qing troops saw that these bald soldiers were not afraid of the French army, they wanted to go forward to fight the French army. Some of them stayed behind and stopped running away. They were also a bloody group. When the Chinese saw the French troops coming in, they hated them very much. Li Zhenhua ordered them to hide in the dense forest and let them pass if the enemy came. They walked a dozen miles further and found the front line of the French troops. Soon there was their large army, estimated to number more than a thousand people. When they saw their bright red trousers and white tops appearing in the sun, and their tricolor flags fluttering arrogantly in the air, Li Zhenhua became very angry. He immediately He had the urge to fight with the enemy, but he suppressed his anger and ordered the soldiers to be careful not to let the enemy find out and give the enemy a painful fight. The current French army is not interested in the situation in mainland China. They were very familiar with the people around them and had already fled. They were like blind men. They relied on the maps in their hands and people who had been to China to guide them. They were afraid of being ambushed by the Chinese, so they did not advance very fast. It seemed that they did not have artillery in their ranks. The artillery was behind, and the infantry was not advancing very fast, as if they were waiting for the troops behind. Li Zhenhua let them go and continued to move forward. Soon the French artillery unit appeared again. It was probably a battalion with twenty artillery pieces. Behind the gate are their baggage vehicles. The distance between them is about ten miles. Li Zhenhua calculated in his mind that it would take up to an hour to eat the enemy's artillery and send troops to block the front. Then there should be no problem. The enemy's troops in front are returning. Not coming. If we attack them again on the road, we can eat some of them. If we deal with the remaining French army together with the Qing army, we can make their dumplings, and none of them will be able to return. Li Zhenhua calculated his troops again. His large troops were more than 200 miles away from here. At their speed, they should have arrived long ago. They should be following the French army. His troops were about a thousand people long ago. They can come up as soon as the fight starts. Li Zhenhua thought of this and said to several soldiers: "Let's take a break and seize the time to eat and prepare to deal with them tomorrow. " Several people immediately sat down and started eating. Li Zhenhua looked at the back of the French army with his binoculars. Slowly, the enemy's artillery also passed by. Li Zhenhua and the others also finished eating. Suddenly, several figures appeared in the distance and looked again. Suddenly he saw a bald man again. Li Zhenhua smiled. His troops finally appeared. He felt relieved. After a while, the few people who were advancing in secret came to them. It was Wild Cat and a few of his men. The thing is that a soldier in front of the wild cat went out and called out, and those few people ran over happily. "How do you know the enemy's situation?" " "We all know that the enemy in front is more than 1,500 people. How to fight the 500 people behind is just a word from you. " "Don't worry, wait until Zhang Xinghua comes and we will arrange a battle plan. " Text Chapter 27: Deal with the French artillery first Chapter 27: Clean up the French artillery first. Several people were talking. Zhang Xinghua ran over and said as he walked: "I can see clearly from behind. As soon as I saw the wild cat entering the dense forest on the roadside, I knew it was you. I guess you will be arriving today. Let¡¯s talk about how to fight. I¡¯m almost dying if I keep following them.¡± Li Zhenhua said to him, ¡°Tell me the situation. How did the Qing army lose?¡± ¡°They were already defeated after we arrived. We started to run away. When we saw that the gang was useless, we followed the French army and waited for you to arrive and beat them hard. Those Qing troops were mainly unprepared for the French army. This time the French army prepared a lot of troops. The artillery bombarded the Qing army in the area of ??Zhennanguan. Under the attack of French artillery, Zhennanguan was quickly lost and the other places retreated without fighting. Now the French army is taking advantage of the victory to pursue. " Li Zhenhua saw it. That was the situation. He checked the situation again: "Are there any French troops in other places?" "There are no French troops in other places. They are just this group." After hearing this situation, Li Zhenhua said to them: "This time In the battle against the French army, we must take the first step to seize all their artillery, shells and baggage. The second step is to find a way to eliminate most of the enemy's artillery when they turn back to save their artillery. " "Xinghua, how many people have you brought this time?" "We have 1,500 people. There are also some 600 or 700 people from the Qing army who are unwilling to escape. I am also following me." "More than 2,000 people?" There should be no problem with the combat effectiveness of these people who are unwilling to escape, but their equipment is not as good as ours. " "That's it." "Okay, Zhang Xinghua, you take two hundred people and those Qing troops to eliminate them. The enemy's artillery then asked the Qing troops to transport away all the captured artillery and their logistical supplies. "No, let me attack the enemy's main force. It's not enough to fight the enemy's artillery." "Obey the order." ! Only you can command the Qing troops now. Liu Yongqiang, you are responsible for the people on the north side of the road, and Wei Xiaohu, you are responsible for one of my squadrons on the south side of the road, plus our mortar troops, who are responsible for blocking the enemy's targets. It is the enemy's firepower point and the enemy's commander left the enemy's supreme commander with me. I want to question him. Now follow the enemy's troops and the enemy will rest. We will also rest and send forward soldiers to follow them five miles away. Be careful not to let the French army discover it. We all must pay attention to the fact that we must capture more prisoners, I will be of great use." Li Zhenhua said to several of them: "We can't rest anymore, we have to go in front of the enemy to find a good cemetery for them." He said to the soldiers who came to reconnaissance: "You should hide from the old road and tell our troops to rest in hiding and march into position tomorrow morning to prepare for the battle to eliminate these French troops." After Li Zhenhua and several major officers arranged their stations, they attacked the enemy Chase. It was slowly getting dark, and the French soldiers began to camp in a panic. Li Zhenhua and a few of them quietly passed by the enemy. They walked along the road for more than 20 miles and found a favorable terrain where they could attack the enemy. Artillery mounted on the mountains on both sides also facilitates concealed firepower against the enemy. He walked forward for more than ten miles and found a place for an ambush. Then he sent a soldier to accompany a small officer of the Qing army to find the large Qing army and asked their large Qing army to cooperate with the French army from behind. It's almost as if he can't wipe them all out like that. He didn't start to rest with people until he was done with all this. At dawn, the sun had just revealed its face from behind the clouds. Li Zhenhua looked at the two ambush sites again until he felt that there were no problems. Then he felt relieved and let the troops quietly surpass the enemy's large forces and enter their own ambush sites. . There is a saying: "Waiting is a painful thing." This is really the case. This is the first time that this army has fought against the French. Although their own officers have said that they have no combat effectiveness, they can only be To deal with the Qing army, they have just met us, and it is their time to die. We are their deadly King Yan. We can do whatever we want to let them die at the third watch. They must not eat the dumplings at the fifth watch. After hearing the officers' humorous pre-war mobilization, the soldiers' emotions slowly stabilized. The observation post on the mountain sent a signal that the enemy had been sighted. The commanders of each team issued an order: "Be careful not to expose the target." Immediately, the mountains on both sides became quiet and some birds in the forest began to sing. A large force of the French army came over. They were walking on a foreign land as if they were in their own country. All their officers and soldiers believed that the Qing army had been completely defeated and could no longer organize an effective resistance. They kept their artillery far away. landThey were left in a neat queue with neat steps, except that there was no military band to accompany them. The drummers and trumpeters all packed their instruments and put them in boxes. A bearded officer, a lieutenant colonel, swayed arrogantly on his horse. He may be imagining the great significance of his victory this time, which can bring a lot of benefits to Free France. He may also be imagining that he will be warmly received by the girls when he returns to Paris. Hugs and kisses. Since it was very quiet on both sides and some birds flew out of the forest from time to time, they had no doubt that there would be any ambush in the forest. The French army's leading soldiers and large troops passed smoothly. Li Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief and finally passed. The next show is about to begin. The sound of vehicles came from behind again. First, a tricolor flag appeared on the road in the forest. Behind it, horse-drawn cannons appeared. Unexpectedly, French heavy machine guns also appeared in the queue. Behind them were dozens of enemy trucks of logistics supplies. Li Zhenhua secretly said in his heart that he had miscalculated. It turned out that the French army counted heavy machine guns and artillery as supporting firepower. Now it can only be like this. Eat them together, but you can't let the French army's heavy machine guns play their role. If it can't be suppressed, The casualties there would be huge, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Xinghua to select a dozen people to deal with the enemy's machine gun shooters and use his own sharpshooters to deal with them. Slowly, all the enemies entered the ambush circle. Zhang Xinghua looked at Li Zhenhua and Li Zhenhua nodded to him. Zhang Xinghua pointed the gun in his hand at a machine gunner and opened fire. The sound of the gunshot was an order. Immediately, angry bullets were sprayed out from the dense forest on both sides of the road. A burst of gunfire hit dozens of enemies, and they fell to the ground. Some were not dead, but some were still screaming. The rest of the French army were stunned by the shooting from the sky, which knocked them unconscious. Then came the free shooting of the soldiers. It was no longer a salvo, but this increased the accuracy. Especially the French machine gunners were frightened by the focus of the soldiers as bullets flew around them. They held their heads and hid everywhere. When Zhang Xinghua saw that the enemy was no longer resisting, he swung the sword in his hand and shouted: "Charge!" He had already rushed out first. After hearing the order, all the soldiers rushed out. More than 900 people faced off against more than 500 foreign devils, and it was basically two to one. If they were further away, the French troops could still do it. If they fought hand-to-hand, they would definitely have superior strength. The people's shouts were shocking, and they usually killed people without blinking an eye. At this time, the French army was completely frightened by these squadrons who bravely rushed forward, threw away their guns and knelt on the ground. There was a boy who was very courageous. He hurriedly rushed towards the heavy machine gun, but there was a burst of gunfire, four or five bullets hit his body, and blood spurted out. This made them dare not move and all raised their hands. "Zhang Xinghua!" Li Zhenhua roared. "Here!" Zhang Xinghua ran over. "Immediately clean up the artillery, heavy machine guns, artillery shells, and bullets. Don't throw away any other materials. Don't lose them. Collect them all for me. This time we will send them. Find two French soldiers to send a message to the front to urge them. Come back quickly." Zhang Xinghua casually pulled two French soldiers and pointed them forward. One of them gave them a kick. The two French soldiers ran forward. After speaking, Li Zhenhua turned around and ran forward. He still had another battle. Woolen cloth. The advancing French lieutenant colonel heard the fierce gunfire from behind. He immediately thought that his logistics unit had been intercepted by the Chinese. He immediately ordered the team to stop advancing. He thought about it and immediately ordered one of his battalion commanders: "You guys We must not lose our artillery. If we don't have the artillery, we will have no advantage over the Qing army. We can't throw away the supplies. If we don't have the artillery, our troops will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind." The battalion commander immediately said. He mobilized his troops and started running towards the back. The lieutenant colonel himself thought for a moment if he could solve the problem by bringing all his troops back as a battalion. Not to mention that it would be useless to stay here, so he might as well go back in case he could help. Is it better? When the front troops were halfway through, two soldiers who had been disarmed by the squadron ran over in embarrassment. When they saw them, they immediately said: "We encountered a squadron and all the interception cannons were taken away by the squadron." The battalion commander was frightened when he heard this. In a flash, the artillery and heavy machine guns protected by the entire battalion were taken away by the Qing army, as well as the logistics supplies. It wouldn't be a bad thing if they used these cannons to deal with us. So he asked the two soldiers Continue to report that you and your team will rush over to take back the cannon and supplies from the Chinese. Text Chapter 28 Encirclement and Annihilation of the French Army Chapter 28 Encirclement and Annihilation of the French Army Li Zhenhua came to Liu Yongqiang¡¯s position. He raised the telescope in his hand. He jumped up from the frightened birds on both sides. He knew that the French army had returned. Sure enough, it was only a moment before the dazzling tricolor flag. The enemy appeared very quickly. It seemed that they were very concerned about the loss of their belongings and now they were going back and forth to take them back. Li Zhenhua chuckled secretly. If you are here, don't go back. I will put you all here and make this place your tomb. Li Zhenhua took a look at the road and saw that the road had been blocked with stones and some tree trunks had been cut down. For the French army, this road was blocked. When the French army arrived, when they saw that no one was there, they stepped forward to move the tree trunks blocking the road. At this time, Li Zhenhua waved down the raised hand. Immediately intensive gunshots rang out and the screams of artillery shells rang out in the air. The French soldiers looked up and saw a kind of artillery shell they had never seen before. It flew over and fell to the ground, exploding several soldiers around them. After falling down, the body parts flew up. Those who were not dead immediately screamed. At this moment, the French army seemed to have entered hell. There were bullets and arrows everywhere in front, left and right. Bullets and artillery shells were everywhere in the air. A captain shouted and immediately A bullet hit his head and exploded. Another officer was about to take command for him. This time, two bullets hit him, making him even worse. When the officers saw it, they hurriedly found a place to hide. No one dared to shout. It turned out that the other side had snipers specifically to deal with them. When the French battalion commander saw that others did not dare to take command, he had no choice but to take action himself. He asked some soldiers to seize a high ground in an attempt to open a hole in the encirclement. Then he could fight back. Now he can only stand in the middle of the road and be beaten. He is There was a shout of command, but there were no bullets to find him because Li Zhenhua's order before the war was to spare his life. A group of French soldiers rushed up the hillside, but there were people shooting at them from every direction as they approached. After the hillside, another heavy machine gun came face to face. Just as the heavy machine gun made a "thud, thud, thud" sound, a group of French soldiers fell down. The original plan was for all the French troops to come back. Unexpectedly, they only came back with a battalion of more than 500 people. Then they had to fight to get rid of them all. When the French battalion commander saw that it was no longer possible, he hurriedly ordered their soldiers to retreat. Gunfire from all sides was heard and they were chased and beaten. In just twenty minutes, half of the French army in the battalion fell down (this made Li Zhenhua very distressed and it was a pity that some good labor was lost.). The battalion commander had no choice but to retreat with his remaining few hundred men. Seeing that this was no longer possible, the battalion commander hurriedly sent soldiers to the back to report that a large number of clearing troops had been discovered in front and that their army had a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns. . Hearing the fierce sound of gunfire behind him, the French lieutenant colonel was really anxious this time and ordered the troops behind him to quickly reinforce. When his follow-up troops came up, they realized that they had hit a hard nail. He was wondering. When did the Qing army become so capable of fighting and their weapons were more advanced than them? The lieutenant colonel didn't hear the signal soldier's report clearly on the way. Now the battalion commander's report to the lieutenant colonel at the scene is much clearer, that is, the Qing army in front set a bag for them to put them all in, but the battalion commander also Another thing he said was that without the braids on their heads or the uniforms of the Qing army, those people looked like they were all ordinary people. After hearing this, the lieutenant colonel secretly cursed the battalion commander for being an idiot. He was not an army, he was an ordinary citizen. He had such a bad experience. He was just a new army of the enemy. Looking at the situation in front of him, the lieutenant colonel decided to replace the idiot battalion commander and put another battalion in the middle to break through the high ground on both sides. At the same time, he also sent troops to seize it. Or let the Qing army make his own dumplings? No matter what, he must go back. Otherwise, they will die without a burial place. This French army should be their elite division. Every soldier is very experienced in combat. Now they also know that they are already in a dead end. In the words of Teacher Sun, the ancestor of China's military, it is "putting it to death." Afterlife". Li Zhenhua, who chose positions with modern consciousness, found the tomb for them. It was definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, how could it be called a tomb? After the soldiers on the mountain went through a battle, the recruits were no longer afraid. They felt that the French troops were just like that and vulnerable to their own weapons, so let them die as many as they wanted for the sake of their fellow villagers. revenge. The soldiers of the Qing army who ran away as soon as they saw them seemed to have changed. When they saw the soldiers wearing civilian clothes, their faces turned red as if they were slapped. During the battle, those people still worked hard to protect them absolutely. They will not be allowed to make unnecessary sacrifices. Looking at the officers who took care of the soldiers, they were even more attentive and considerate. Although sometimes their tone was very harsh and some even cursed, when it came to charging, it was the officers who were at the forefront. This is incomparable to our own army. When our own army charged, those officials were all there.When the back retreated, he rushed to the front to eat together, which was even more novel. With some excuses, he promised to beat up the soldiers, but those officials actually sat and ate with the soldiers, and they ate Things are the same. Some Qing soldiers were so moved that they simply shaved off their hair and determined not to return to the Qing army and to be with these bald soldiers. Led by the veterans, they, like them, were repairing their fortifications to prepare for another French attack. When the French troops arrived from behind, the veterans lay peacefully in the fortifications, smoking and chatting. They didn't take the French troops to heart at all. There were only one or two veterans in each class who were observing, and most of the enemies were there. Some even closed their eyes and slept there. After some preparations, the French army finally began to attack. They formed a neat formation and began to walk towards the squadron's position in the manner of the European battlefield. The musicians took out their own instruments and beat the snare drum. The French soldiers holding rifles walked in goose-step like a military parade in the square and walked towards the squadron. Seeing his soldiers marching forward, the lieutenant colonel's heart was no longer as excited as before, but sad. He could be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, but he had never been in this ancient place in the East like this time. He had never felt like this in a civilized country. He was very uneasy and made him feel very empty in his heart. Those Chinese soldiers looked at them as if they were watching a joke. Some recruits asked the veterans what they were doing. Is this a war? A veteran laughed and said: "This is asking you to practice aiming. No one usually lets you practice like this." The battle on both sides started first. The sound of heavy machine guns was the main theme of this battle. The monotonous sound of rifles was just a supporting role. French soldiers kept falling. At this time, the impatient Zhang Xinghua came with another group of soldiers. Li Zhenhua said to him that you should go behind the enemy and tie your pockets to prevent the enemy from running away. Zhang Xinghua immediately led his squadron and ran back. Mortars from afar have begun to block and fire at the advancing French army. The French soldiers fell down and were immediately supplemented by one behind them. After the two fell, there were two people behind them to supplement. The rifles on both sides also started shooting. At the same time, they also saw small bombs with handles flying over. Why did this squadron all have such new weapons? The French army had never seen them before. Finally, the troops blocking the intersection opened fire. This was a defensive line composed of two heavy machine guns. Under such a blow, the French army fell like grains in the field one by one. The French officers shouted: Started to rush towards the position at the intersection. At this time, a large number of Qing soldiers were waiting behind the intersection, but they did not dare to move without the orders of the bald officers because they had heard in advance that anyone who dared to disobey orders on the battlefield would end up "dead". As the French troops were getting closer and closer, Li Zhenhua finally gave the order, "Charge!" He had already jumped out of the trench and rushed toward the enemy. He saw a Browning pistol in his left hand and stabbed a French soldier with a dagger in his right hand. The soldier rushed over and stabbed a French soldier with his bayonet. His body flexibly jumped to the side, and he turned back and stabbed the French soldier's carotid artery. The French soldier's blood spurted out. A French soldier next to him was stunned. Li Zhenhua's pistol in his left hand rang. The French soldiers fell. The soldiers behind saw their commander rushing to the front. They rushed over like crazy to block him. At this time, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to use the gun in his hand to fight against the enemy. He only saw him. After firing off bullets one by one, he inserted the gun into his belt, took out a grenade from the backpack on the back of a soldier and threw it forward. When the soldiers behind him saw his appearance, they also threw bombs at the enemy. The soldiers on both sides also rushed down and entered the melee. At this time, the French soldiers could no longer hold on. They began to retreat back. The soldiers responsible for tying pockets behind were blocked there without retreating. The center of the battlefield had turned to the east. A young officer who went to the Qing army swung his braid around his neck and yelled at his former brothers: "Brothers, I'm a man, come with me and avenge our brothers!" Text Chapter 29 Encirclement and Annihilation of the French Army (2) Chapter 29 Encirclement and Annihilation of the French Army (2) I saw his body leap forward and rushed into the French army. At this time, the broadsword in his hand was much easier to use than other weapons. I saw his broadsword flying up and down. Those French soldiers encountered When he saw it, he was dead. The Qing soldiers behind him were just watching the bald soldiers attacking the enemy. Now that they had a place to use themselves, they all rushed forward regardless of their own safety. Under the urging of the French lieutenant colonel, the French army behind continued to rush forward. The Qing army, which bore the brunt, was immediately in trouble. There were more and more French troops. When Li Zhenhua saw the French reinforcements coming up, he felt that he could not fight with the enemy in a melee. If we go down like this, it will be a victory for our side. The casualties will be huge, but in his eagerness, his own people can't retreat. He immediately shouted: "The artillery blocks the shooting. The brothers behind are preparing grenades." As soon as he shouted, the soldiers immediately understood how to fight. So an artillery observer stood on a high slope and commanded the artillerymen behind with gestures. Then a large number of artillery shells flew towards the large French army like eyes. The soldiers in the melee would shoot at the enemy as long as there was an enemy in front. The grenades they threw behind them exploded directly behind the French army. The soldiers of the Qing army who were fighting directly across from each other were immediately morale-boosted and they moved forward even more bravely. The situation on the battlefield immediately changed to China's advantage. The French lieutenant colonel made a mistake here, that is, he used the refueling tactic to let his soldiers enter the battlefield in stages. This gave Li Zhenhua's artillery more opportunities to perform. Their artillery was constantly attacking the French army's rear. Their shooting experience in firing artillery shells is constantly improved in actual combat. The impact points of those artillery shells have reached the point where they can be hit right where they are pointed. The connection between artillery observers and artillery commanders has also been further improved. They are completely unaffected by the ground battle. Although the ground battle is fierce, the artillery shells are not affected. But they kept falling into the French troops who came for reinforcements. After the colonel led the last group of French troops into the battlefield, their doom had come. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Qing army were fighting with the enemy with swords, but the soldiers holding new weapons had already surrounded them from both sides. The last French army has been surrounded. At this time, another group of fresh troops came in from behind the French army. The leader was three girls. There were people behind them, including those bald soldiers, Qing troops, and some armed with primitive weapons. Weapons and tools for farmers. Although Li Zhenhua was fighting with the French army, he was staring at the situation on the entire battlefield. When he saw the three girls, he immediately said to himself: "How come this girl has nothing to do and came to the battlefield to look at their swords?" The law is quite capable." He hurriedly waved his hand back and rushed forward, and a group of soldiers behind him also rushed forward with him. Soon some bald soldiers appeared in front of the three girls. They protected Wang Xin and the others. Here Li Zhenhua and some soldiers also joined Wang Xin and the others and blocked the French army. At this time, the French army's Lieutenant Colonel Seeing that the situation was over, he believed that he had done his best for Free France, so he hurriedly ordered the surrender. He could not let his soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices, so the fierce fighting slowly stopped. The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Those who were slightly injured were bandaged, and those who were seriously injured were left alone. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin interrogated the two captive soldiers together, and escorted the French lieutenant colonel over. The lieutenant colonel looked at the one opposite. The young man in question was dressed like a common man, but from the look on his face, he was definitely a soldier. However, losing at the hands of such a group of common people made him feel very uncomfortable. Wang Xin asked him in fluent French: "Why did you break the agreement between the two countries and attack China?" The lieutenant colonel was not ready to speak at first, but the bald men around him did not treat him politely and kicked him hard, so he had no choice but to say something. Tell them honestly that two French scientists who went on an expedition to China disappeared for no reason in China. France got out of bed and used this as an excuse to stir up trouble in an attempt to open the southern gate of China and strive for greater interests in China. They did not expect to enter China in the first place. However, in the mainland, they fought with the Qing army and were defeated thousands of miles away. They followed in. They thought that the Qing army could not organize a strong resistance for a while. They did not even move with their own artillery. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the Qing army. The defeat was so great that he himself became a prisoner of the Qing people. Li Zhenhua directed the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and let the caravans who came to support help transport away a large amount of seized materials. The troops were about to evacuate. At this time, a group of Qing troops appeared in the distance. A Qing army officer on horseback saw the scene and ran over. He rode proudly on his horse and greeted the soldiers who had just won the battle. They asked arrogantly: "What's going on with you?" The soldiers were very disgusted when they saw his arrogant look. No one wanted to answer him. He was just doing his own thing. The boy was furious when he saw it and asked immediately. : "Damn it! I'm asking you something. Are you deaf?" The soldier was also angry, but he didn't move as he was an officer.He just said to a soldier next to him: "Why does one of you fart so much?" The boy raised the horse whip in his hand and whipped it hard at the soldier. He only heard a loud roar: "Stop! You have it?" How dare you hit my soldiers?" He heard the sound and saw that the whip had already reached Li Zhenhua's hand. "Get off!" Li Zhenhua shouted again and he jumped up and pulled him off the horse. Hearing a "crash" sound, the soldiers behind him had all their bullets loaded. If he dared to say anything again, those hateful bullets would be shot into his body. I saw the officer was so frightened that he ran to the back. The Qing army came up from behind. Even though they had no ability to fight against the French army, they were not afraid of bullying the common people. But when they arrived, they were afraid from the eyes of the soldiers on the opposite side, because the eyes of those soldiers had already flashed. Murderous aura is not something you are born with, it is formed through fighting on the battlefield. During the stalemate, suddenly the Qing troops were divided into two sides and a passage was vacated in the middle. A senior official of the Qing Dynasty came out of the passage. He just glared at the officer and then said to the soldiers in front of him with a fist in his arms: "Heroes, here we go. It¡¯s Tang Jiong, the governor of Yunnan, who apologizes for being late.¡± No one answered his words, but the anger in the soldiers¡¯ eyes became smaller. An officer next to Tang Jiong said to a former soldier of the Qing Army: "Aren't you from the xx battalion? Are you going to rebel when you see the superior and dare not to kneel down?" When the Qing soldier heard this, he took off his uniform and started ruthlessly. He threw it to the ground and took a big knife from a soldier on the side. Then he took his braid and swung it down with a knife. The braid had fallen to the ground. Dozens of soldiers next to him also removed their own braids. Braids and the others picked up the machetes again and stared at the officer tightly. When Tang Jiong saw it, he hurriedly said to his officers: "How outrageous!" He raised his hands and clasped his fists again and said, "Which one is General Li?" At this time, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to speak and had to stand up and said: " I am Li Zhenhua." Tang Jiong hurriedly got off his horse and said to Li Zhenhua: "Please forgive me for not being strict in running the army." Li Zhenhua snorted and said, "You can just say that we are not strict in running the army?" The lives of all the brothers are almost at stake here." Tang Jiong's face was as red as red cloth. Li Zhenhua knew that Tang Jiong was a pretty good official in the Qing Dynasty, so he stopped embarrassing him and said to him, "Thankfully, all of us. "Brothers fought bravely and were able to win narrowly." Tang Jiong immediately raised his fists and gestured towards the north: "I will make a grand statement to the emperor and the queen mother for the general's righteous deeds." After saying that, he asked his soldiers to immediately arrange their tents and set up camp on the spot. He meant to win over Li Zhenhua. How could Li Zhenhua order his soldiers to set up camp without knowing what he meant? So both sides set up camp at the same time. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin walked into Tang Jiong's tent. Tang Jiong stood up hurriedly to greet Wang Xin. He stepped forward and saluted Tang Jiong and said, "Master Tang, please be polite to my little niece." Li Zhenhua had no choice but to say to Tang Jiong. : "I've met Mr. Tang." Tang Jiong, who was also very knowledgeable about things, said to the two of them, "Forget those clich¨¦s. The general really taught me a lesson today. How dare you fight with just over a thousand people?" The French army fought and won a big victory, which made me really blush. I feel ashamed that there are so many officers and soldiers in the Eight Banners and the Green Camp as you and more than a thousand people." Tang Jiong shook his head and sighed, then continued: "I'm so embarrassed. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty won't be able to use them if they haven't been trained for a long time." After the soldiers served tea and retired, a few people started talking. Tang Jiong asked: "I want to report the general's merits to the court, but I don't know what the title of your army is?" Li Zhenhua secretly cursed himself for so long that he didn't even have a title, but this time he had to advertise for free. He said: "We are two parts. One is the security team of Xinghua Company and the other is the Border Self-Defense Force. Mr. Tang, just watch and say goodbye." After saying that, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin left the tent and headed towards their camp. Go they need to leave immediately. I saw his body leaping forward and rushing into the French army. At this time, the broadsword in his hand was much easier to use than other weapons. He saw his broadsword flying up and down. When the French soldiers encountered him, one of them died behind him. Those Qing soldiers were just watching the bald soldiers attacking the enemy. Now that they had a place to use themselves, they all rushed forward regardless of their own safety. Under the urging of the French lieutenant colonel, the French army behind continued to rush forward. The Qing army, which bore the brunt, was immediately in trouble. There were more and more French troops. When Li Zhenhua saw the French reinforcements coming up, he felt that he could not fight with the enemy in a melee. If we go down like this, it will be a victory for our side. The casualties on our side will also be huge. But in his eagerness, his own people can't withdraw. He immediately shouted: "The artillery blocks the shooting of the brothers behind."They prepare grenades. " As soon as he shouted, the soldiers immediately understood how to fight. So an artillery observer stood on a high slope and used gestures to direct the artillery behind. Then a large number of artillery shells flew towards the French army as if they had eyes. They were in the middle of a melee. As long as there were enemies in front of the soldiers, they would throw grenades behind them and explode them directly behind the French army. The morale of the Qing soldiers who were fighting directly on the opposite side was immediately boosted, and they moved forward on the battlefield even more bravely. The situation immediately turned to China's advantage. The French lieutenant colonel made a mistake here, that is, he used the refueling tactic to let his soldiers enter the battlefield in stages, which increased Li Zhenhua's artillery. Their artillery continued to fire artillery shells at the rear of the French army, and their shooting experience continued to improve in actual combat. The impact point of those artillery shells had reached the point where they could hit it wherever they pointed. The artillery observers and artillery commanders. The contact has further improved and they are completely unaffected by the ground battle. Although the ground battle is fierce, the artillery shells continue to fall into the French troops who come for reinforcements. The lieutenant colonel led the last team. After the French army entered the battlefield, their doom had come. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Qing army were fighting with the enemy with swords. The soldiers holding new weapons had already surrounded them from both sides. At this time, the last French army had been surrounded. Another group of fresh troops came in from behind the French army. The leader was three girls. Behind them were some people, including those bald soldiers, Qing troops, and some farmers holding primitive weapons and farm tools. Although Li Zhenhua was fighting with the French. The army was fighting, but he was staring at the situation on the entire battlefield. When he saw the three girls, he immediately said to himself: "How come this girl has nothing to do and ran to the battlefield? Their swordsmanship is still very good." . "He hurriedly waved his hand back and rushed forward. A group of soldiers behind him also rushed forward with him. Soon, some bald warriors appeared in front of the three girls. They protected Wang Xin and the other three. Here, Li Zhenhua and some soldiers They also joined Wang Xin and others and blocked the French army. At this time, the French lieutenant colonel saw that the situation was over. He thought that he had done his best for Free France, so he hurriedly ordered the surrender and could not let his soldiers do anything again. A unnecessary sacrifice, and the fierce battle that was going on slowly stopped. The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Those who were slightly injured were bandaged, and those who were seriously injured were left alone. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin interrogated the two captured soldiers together. The lieutenant colonel of the French army was escorted over. The lieutenant colonel looked at the young man opposite him. He was dressed as a common man, but judging from his expression, he was definitely a soldier. However, losing at the hands of such a group of common people made him feel very sad. Wang Xin asked him in fluent French: "Why did you break the agreement between the two countries and attack China?" "The lieutenant colonel was not ready to speak at first, but the bald men around him did not give him a polite kick. He had to tell them honestly that two French scientists who went on an expedition to China disappeared without reason in China. Bed used this as an excuse to stir up trouble in an attempt to open the southern gate of China and strive for greater interests in China. They did not expect to enter the mainland of China at first. However, after a battle with the Qing army, the Qing army was defeated and defeated thousands of miles away. They followed. When I came in, I thought that the Qing army could not organize a strong resistance for a while. They did not even move with their artillery. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the Qing army and even became a prisoner of the Qing people. Li Zhenhua directed the soldiers to clean up. After the battlefield, a large amount of captured materials were transported away by the caravans who came to support. The troops were about to evacuate. At this time, a group of Qing troops appeared in the distance. A Qing army officer riding a horse saw the scene here. The horse came running over. He sat on the horse and asked arrogantly to the soldiers who had just finished the victorious battle: "What's going on with you?" " When the soldiers saw his arrogant look, they were very disgusted. No one wanted to answer him. He was just doing his own thing. When the boy saw it, he was furious and immediately asked: "Damn it! I am asking you something. Are you deaf? " That soldier was also angry, but seeing that he was an officer, he didn't do anything. He just said to a soldier next to him: "Why does one of you fart so smelly? "The boy raised the horse whip in his hand and whipped it hard at the soldier. He heard a loud roar: "Stop! You have the guts to attack my soldiers. "I saw people following the sound and heard that the whip had already reached Li Zhenhua's hand. "Get down! "Li Zhenhua shouted again, and he jumped up and pulled him off his horse. Just after hearing a "crash", the soldiers behind him had all their bullets loaded. As long as he dared to say anything again, those hateful bullets would be shot into him. Body. I saw the officer was so scared that he ran to the back. The Qing army behind them came up. Although they didn't have much ability against the French army, they couldn't stand it.They were not afraid of suppressing the common people, but when they arrived, they were afraid from the eyes of the soldiers on the opposite side, because murderous intent flashed in the eyes of those soldiers. This was not born, but was formed after fighting on the battlefield. of. During the stalemate, suddenly the Qing troops were divided into two sides and a passage was vacated in the middle.

After saying that, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin left the tent and headed towards their camp. Go they need to leave immediately. Text Chapter 30 Soldiers Point to Annan Chapter 30 Soldiers Pointing to Annan Li Zhenhua simply said a few words that he had not had a good rest for four days and left. Wang Xin also followed him out and returned to Li Zhenhua's marching tent. Wang Xin could no longer bear it any longer and pounced. When Li Zhenhua was in Li Zhenhua's arms, he started crying. Li Zhenhua opened his hands and said to Wang Xin: "Miss Wang, what are you doing? If people see your innocence, it will be ruined." "What innocence?" People who are not innocent are only concerned about you. You just came to Zhennanguan with more than a hundred people. What will happen to me in the future if you have a bad thing?/" After saying that, he hit Li Zhenhua's chest hard with his fist. Li Zhenhua hurriedly tried to persuade her and finally the little girl calmed down. Li Zhenhua said in his heart that this girl took the wrong medicine. This is what happened. You just need to care about me. There is no need for this. At this moment, a girl from Wang Xin came in and saw that the two of them were like this, so they had to leave again. He said outside the door: "General, Miss, there is someone outside who wants to see the general." Upon hearing this, Wang Xin blushed and pushed Li Zhenhua away and turned his body aside. Li Zhenhua's face was also like red cloth. He said to the outside: "Let them come in. ." After saying that, he sat aside. Zhang Xinghua and others came in happily and said loudly as soon as they entered: "Now we have captured 28 cannons, 28 artillery shells, 12 carts, and dozens of shells per cart. Heavy machine guns, six bullets, more than 30,000 rounds, two rifles." More than a thousand bottles, a dozen carts of other items, all military supplies, and a few boxes of foreign money. "Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "What foreign money?" Zhao Hongyan took a few of them and asked Li Zhenhua to take a look. Don't tell me to give them back. It was really foreign money. It turned out that there was a statue of a goddess on it holding a long straw. Behind it was a boat. Li Zhenhua looked at it and said, "This is a Spanish silver dollar, which is about seven cents and two cents of our silver." "There are also some paper notes we don't know what they are for. "Yes." Zhao Hongyan handed over another handful of banknotes and Li Zhenhua smiled: "This is much more valuable than those foreign currencies. How much is it in pounds and francs?" "Anyway, if it doesn't work, let Miss Wang take a look." Xin was sitting here and didn't know what to say. When she saw Zhao Hongyan gave her a step, she hurriedly ran away with her. Liu Yongqiang quietly said to Li Zhenhua: "Fifth brother, that Miss Wang, doesn't she have a crush on you? As soon as she saw them on the battlefield, she fell in love with her like crazy." She has to come to save you, but she doesn¡¯t know that you are a master in fighting.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t waste words, how could she fall in love with me? Let¡¯s talk about the next move.¡± Everyone calmed down when they got down to business. Li Zhenhua first asked them to talk about the current situation of his troops. Zhang Xinghua said: "We now have a total of more than 2,700 people." Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said: "We are now reorganizing the army. The original base on the mountain has now been changed into a teaching team responsible for training new recruits. Liu Yongqiang is responsible for recruiting those who are educated. The soldiers were assigned to Fangcheng County, and Zhao Hongyan was temporarily in charge. The other soldiers with certain combat experience were separated and reorganized into a regiment. Zhang Xinghua was temporarily appointed as the regiment leader, Xiaohu, and Ye Mao was appointed as the deputy commander. Wild cat also served as the first battalion commander, and Xiaohu also served as the supply battalion. There are five battalions under the regiment, three infantry battalions. Each battalion has 500 people, and there are three companies under it. There are three platoons under each company, and there are three squads under each platoon. Each squad has a dozen people, one artillery battalion, and all 28 cannons are handed over. I'll give you another twenty mortars and divide them into two mortar companies. The following platoons and squads make your own arrangements. It's also a three-by-three system. The originally purchased artillery will leave five for the teaching team and the rest for a supply camp on the Fangcheng side. Some of the war horses are left to form a cavalry company, and the rest of the mules and horses are arranged in the baggage camp to be responsible for logistics and transportation work. ""The distribution of troops should be divided into former veterans as the backbone of the squad or platoon, and officers at all levels should be in the battle. The brave and smart people are arranged to go in and let the veterans train and educate the new recruits at any time." "From now on, all the weapons of this regiment will be French weapons, except mortars." "Tomorrow, we will give the captured guns to the Qing army. Give them five infantry cannons, which they can use to defend our country. "This is the situation of the infantry regiment. In addition, we have to take away ten infantry cannons from the city defense area and those educated soldiers Li Zhenhua does not have here. He said that he wanted to form a navy team in the future. All the prisoners of war in the French army were escorted to Fangcheng to select some of the original artillerymen as instructors of their own artillery. Then see what specialties they have. If you don't have any specialties, I'm sorry. Then I can only let you work as coolies. The current main task of the teaching team that Liu Yongqiang is in charge of is to train non-commissioned officers for the army from ordinary soldiers, artillery, special forces and other arms in the future. You must learn not only military technology but also theory and culture. Your first task is to have an excellent teaching team. This side of Fangcheng?The main task is to build a seaport first, reserve funds for maritime logistics, and then go out to trade with Southeast Asian countries after a few warships are escorted. Wang Xin will be responsible for the management of Fangcheng here first. Let this little girl She had something to do, otherwise she would make trouble and go to Annan again. This is the general situation. Now let's talk about the French army. This time we wiped out their invading army. As for the other troops, we can't just let them go. If we let them slow down, they can't defeat us. Attacking our other places is just like the British did fifty years ago. They couldn't defeat Lin Zexu in Guangzhou. Instead, they went to attack Ningbo, Zhenhai and other places. In the end, they forced the court to pay them compensation, open treaty ports and other conditions. If they do the same thing We have become sinners of the Chinese nation. Now we have to take advantage of the fact that they are unprepared and attack Annan in one go. We will make them unable to defend themselves in Annan. Their number of troops in Annan is not very large. Judging from the current situation, they are only defending our side, but they will never think that we will attack. If we go to them and attack them, we will use the name of the Annan guerrillas to deal with them so that they will not have the intention to deal with us. They will be busy suppressing the guerrillas in Annan, so that they will only suffer a dumb loss in China. This way, there will be no so-called international disputes. As long as Annan¡¯s army is using only French weapons, they will have nothing to say. After Li Zhenhua's analysis, people understood that we should take this opportunity to develop in Annan, and we would also do it with great fanfare. Annan used to be a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Now the Qing Dynasty is getting weaker and weaker. The strong entry of the French has made the Qing government fundamentally We can no longer take care of them and can only let them fend for themselves. The combat mode in the Annan area is based on guerrilla warfare as the main combat method. I will tell you sixteen words here, which are "the enemy advances, we retreat, the enemy garrison, we harass the enemy, weary, we fight the enemy, retreat, and we pursue." The sixteen-character policy of future generations of great men was all handed over to their own soldiers. Regarding some operations on the Fangcheng side, Wang Xinlai was asked to take charge of Zhao Hongyan to assist them. Their task was to find ways to make money. The military operations there were mainly focused on security work. The focus of a regiment's strength was to protect Wang Xin, You Xueshi, and Qiao Delu. and the safety of Xie Zuantai and others as well as the safety of some facilities. At this time Wang Xin interjected: "Where are you going?" "Of course I went to Annan." When Wang Xin heard this, she immediately had a look on her face, but she was in a meeting and couldn't say anything. He had no choice but to force his words into his stomach. After Li Zhenhua finished speaking, he said to everyone: "The general situation is like this. Do you have any questions? If not, we will start preparations and strive to start the attack on Annan tomorrow. The sooner the better, they may know it in two days." People all know. There was nothing left, but Liu Yongqiang said to Li Zhenhua: "Fifth brother, please be careful and don't stay there." Li Zhenhua said: "Don't worry, it won't happen. Not only am I not in danger, but also our soldiers, I have to let them do their best." Come back safely as soon as possible." The next morning, Li Zhenhua came to Tang Jiong to say goodbye and said to him: "We are going to Annan for some activities recently and ask Mr. Tang to provide us with support in the border area." "What? You want it. Go to Annan?" "Yes." "That's fine, but I want to ask the general what the name of the general is." "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, we won't do anything in the name of Annan. You won't cause any trouble." "General, it's best if you can go out and do it abroad without causing any diplomatic problems for the Qing Dynasty. The general has considered everything carefully. The only thing that can help is that we have to do it in a secret way. If you need any help, please let me know. I will do my best. " "There are a few things. One is, please collect all the supplies that the French army has shipped over in the past day or two. And lock them up and don't let them know that we have left the customs. Secondly, if we have any supplies brought back, please ask adults to collect them for us. Thirdly, if we have too much stuff, please send troops to pick it up and bring it back if there are any wounded. "Please take care of me." "The general doesn't want to do anything. The general's conduct makes me very impressed. I have written down all these and let Hebri take charge of all these things. What do you think, general?" That's it, I'll take my leave." "Please take care of yourself, General. I wish you success." "Thank you for your blessing." Text Chapter 31 Sneak Attack on the French Military Depot Chapter 31: Sneak attack on the French military station. After Tang Jiong sent Li Zhenhua away, he called Hebry in alone and explained to him that Li Zhenhua had led the troops out of the customs. He asked him to lead a part of the troops to Zhennanguan and rush to Zhennanguan to complete the response work. Block the news so no one knows about it. If this thing is done, it will be a great achievement. If there is any problem, please bring it up. Then Tang Jiong began to write a memorial to the emperor and the queen mother, and gave a detailed report to the court on the situation of Li Zhenhua's annihilation of more than 2,000 French troops. He then asked the emperor and the queen mother to reward Li Zhenhua and at the same time report Li Zhenhua's secret appearance. The battle between Guan and the French army was reported to the court in the form of a secret report. In the imperial palace in Beijing, there was nothing that could be done about the French army that had marched straight into the court after breaking through the Zhennang Pass. They were just dispatching troops and generals to make amends. At best, they were dispatching troops and generals, and at worst, they were "tearing down the east wall to make up for it." The Western Wall. "Usually there are troops there when the time comes. At the same time, they ask the powers of various countries to mediate. However, the Queen Mother and the Emperor, who have never heard the good news, finally saw Tang Jiong's memorial and the secret report that arrived at the same time. Usually, the delivery of good news is carried out in a six-hundred-mile rush, and the soldiers at the post station shout while running on the road: "Good news, great victory in Nanguan Town," and so on. However, because Li Zhenhua had made the request in advance, Tang Jiong did not let those people run and shout all the way. He just ran quickly to the capital to report. At this time, the emperor and the queen mother were immediately happy to see an unknown young man so capable. They sighed greatly. They only regretted that this man was not used by the court and were happy for his thoughtfulness. This man dealt with the French severely and He also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the French army. He acted like this and did not cause any trouble to the court. This man was so good. According to their temper, they wanted to reward him greatly. But thinking that he had secretly left seclusion, they could not say anything. But they I still showed Tang Jiong's memorial to the ministers and saw what kind of comments came out. Naturally, some people said yes because the Queen Mother and the Emperor looked good and followed suit. There were also some people, but those in the court were all talk but no practice. There are also many people who criticize Li Zhenhua's move as harming the country. We are afraid that their move will cause international disputes and make the great powers use troops against us again. This is due to small losses. The person who made such remarks was naturally the two-generation emperor master Weng Shifu. The Queen Mother sighed in her heart: "If you are not good enough, you will not use people to harm the country." Sun Yuwen, the Minister of War, said in his heart: "Say what you say, do what you say. Give them advice. They don¡¯t know that they didn¡¯t ask for a tael of silver and they defeated the French army with advanced equipment. What else can you say?¡± Although the DPRK and China didn¡¯t say anything, newspapers everywhere have already mentioned it. The story of the great victory at Zhennanguan was revealed. Their actions were known earlier than the court knew. Some newspapers greatly praised the actions of Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Company and the border rebels, calling their actions heroes of national defense, saying that they were not Take a penny of the country's money and call on all soldiers, farmers, workers, and businessmen to donate to them to pay for the army. Suddenly, the news that there was a private company in China that was not afraid of foreigners spread across the land of China. People had not known him before, but the whole country was talking about this company. Teahouses, Chinese and foreign restaurants, alleys and alleys, all talked about after tea and dinner. This is a great victory. It is said that the people of this company wiped out 30,000 to 40,000 people in France They said that the general waved his hand and struck a lightning bolt, and a group of French people were finished Anyway, he just said it happily and said that this company and those doors People in places where there was a sign in front of a sign saying "Don't talk about national affairs" were also talking loudly about the huge increase in domestic wine sales from the south to the north during this period, which really made people feel happy. Some newspapers in the south also sent special reporters to various branches of Xinghua Company to interview Li Zhenhua. He had already asked Wang Xin to write down the battle process and sent it to each of his branches. As a result, the reporters came After receiving detailed information, reporters also learned that Xinghua Company was recruiting. They were mainly recruiting security personnel and various technical personnel. The number of people who came to Xinghua Company to apply for jobs was not only from the southern coastal areas, but also from the mainland and the two lakes. There are also people from the area applying for jobs. The door of the branch was crowded with people who applied for jobs, not for making money, but because the people in this company have Chinese backbone. As long as people from this company walk on the street, they feel proud. They finally squeezed their way to the recruitment table and the person in charge asked: "Why do you want to apply?" The man said: "Your company is not afraid of the backbone of foreigners, so I came." "Have you ever gone to school?" "Goed to a private school for three years." "Name?" "Qian Erhu." "Okay, you are admitted. Go aside and wait for a while. Next one!" The next one is here, "Why do you want to come to Xinghua Company? ? "I studied mechanical engineering in the United States. I can't let what I learned go to waste. I heard that you were recruiting technicians, so I came here." "Name?" "Lin Zhiming." This saves trouble. "You are admitted. Go to the side and wait for a while. Someone will contact you." After that, he handed in a piece of paper with Lin Zhiming's name on it. The next person came again, "How old is the uncle this year?" "Fifty-three years old." "Uncle, you are older. Our work here is very tiring." That person had to leave, but he left. After a few steps, he came back and said: "Let me let my grandson come. He is in private school." "How old is he?" "Sixteen years old." "Then let him come again in two years. I will definitely want him." At this time, those viewers finally understood that the recruitment here requires those who have studied in school. Another one came, "Brother, what do you do originally?" "I am a hunter who specializes in hunting." "Have you ever studied?" "My family was not poor and had no money to study. It was my father who taught me some words." "No. It¡¯s easy. You have to study in the future. You can wait until the end.¡± Another one came and looked like he was rich. ¡°Have you been to school for eight years?¡± After two attempts, I failed." "Why did you come to our Xinghua company?" "Then you can endure hardship?" The man's face changed. . "Then forget it, let's go to the next one." With this kind of situation, various talents were recruited in some large and small cities in the south. At the same time, a lot of donated money was also collected, which was more than 200,000 taels of silver. Tang Jiong was very grateful to him. The subordinates said: "This young man is not ordinary. Now he has gained fame, fortune and people." Hebri, an officer of the Qing Army in Zhennan, was busy repairing the city wall. He sent some soldiers to the territory of Annan as observation posts. Suddenly Someone in the distance sent a signal saying that French troops were coming. Hebri immediately asked the soldiers and migrant workers who were repairing the city wall to stop, and the migrant workers withdrew the soldiers to hide on the spot. After a while, a group of French soldiers came over escorting a group of transport vehicles. After they entered the ambush circle, they gave an order and ordered countless Qing officers and soldiers to rush towards the French army from their hiding places. At this time, the morale of the Qing army was no longer what it was before. Under the influence of Xinghua Company and border rescue, they exerted their best efforts. The courage of a Chinese man rushed to surround the French army. Looking at the black holes in the muzzles, the gleaming swords, the bows and arrows waiting to be fired, and the long grass that can go straight through the throat, the French army's logistics soldiers had no courage to fight and all put down their weapons. When Hebry saw it, he immediately ordered them to be escorted to the back and not allowed to let anyone go. If they were let go, a military law officer was involved. When he reported the situation to Tang Jiong, Tang Jiong couldn't help but said: "This General Li is still a general at a young age. He can actually calculate when the French army will come." After saying that, he immediately ordered the Qing army to escort them all. No one is allowed to go to the rear as long as one person escapes and engages in military law. All materials were sealed and not allowed to be used until Li Zhenhua came back to deal with them. At night in Lang Son, Annan, a bright moon hangs in the sky in the grass beside the dense forest, flashing a pair of alert eyes. The soldiers of "Annam Rescue" are hiding there. There is nothing unusual everywhere. Some are just the clothes on the soldiers' bodies to repel mosquitoes and poisonous snakes. The medicine gave off a faint fragrance. In a depression a little behind, Li Zhenhua and Zhang Xinghua took one last look at the map to determine their attack target. This is a logistics supply point for the French army at the foot of Langshan Mountain in Annan. They are responsible for providing logistical supplies to the French army entering China. There is a commander in the enemy camp. His military rank is captain. He is drinking wine by himself. He is the top commander here. It has been three days since the lieutenant colonel led the troops to China. It is estimated that they may be making good progress. Those Qing troops are not French at all. The opponent has not sent any message back yet. He has already sent a batch of supplies there as planned and it is estimated that they should receive it as well. The captain looked at his pocket watch. It was getting late and he was going to rest. There was a girl from Annan waiting for him in his room. This girl was very kind and considerate. It is very safe here. It has been many years since they entered Annan. Since Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army returned to China, nothing has ever happened that endangered the French army. After the lights in his room went out, the French military sentries everywhere relaxed and they started their own rest according to their usual habits. Everything was safe and there was no need.So nervous. (Dear readers and friends, I have a headache today. I posted the first chapter and I am insisting on posting another chapter tonight. Please forgive me and I am sorry.) Text Chapter 32 Attack on Haiphong Port Chapter 32 Attack on Haiphong Port Several loud frog calls were heard, which was the signal for action. The soldiers who were staying quietly everywhere began to take action. They quietly and quickly approached the French army's supply base. A barbed wire fence blocked them in front of them. Li Zhenhua took a look. This was too childish. There was no electricity and no sound. They just lifted the barbed wire up. A group of soldiers entered. At a fence, Wildcat and the soldiers set up a ladder. A soldier went up and looked inside. There was nothing wrong with his body. Leap gently climbed over and the soldiers behind the wall also climbed in together. They quickly entered the interior of the camp in various ways. According to the plan, they hid in front of the barracks where French soldiers lived. Under the moonlight, Zhang Xinghua gave the order: "Charge!" The soldiers kicked open the door and rushed in. The light of the torch shone on the French army. Many French soldiers were still talking in their sleep and became prisoners. The soldiers rushed in and picked up the captain in his room. He shouted in confusion: "Who are you?" "People?" A soldier replied in Annan dialect: "We are all locals." The captain immediately said: "You dare to come to the military camp to mess with the guards!" He was still dreaming. If the guards were effective, these people wouldn't be able to get in. When someone pointed a gun at him, he thought he was a local trying to steal something. All the French soldiers were imprisoned in a large warehouse. Li Zhenhua immediately asked a communications soldier to deliver a message to Hebri asking him to quickly send personnel to help the prisoners detained in place and transport arms and supplies back to the country in vehicles. The soldiers began to rest. Li Zhenhua began to study the next action plan again. There was a line from Lang Son to Hanoi and another line to the port city of Haiphong. He looked at his comrades and they all had the same opinion this time. If you want to attack, it will be useless to attack Hanoi. Moreover, our army's casualties may be greater than those of a sneak attack on the coastal defense. If you are lucky, you may get two French warships. Li Zhenhua also agreed with their idea, so they decided to attack the French seaport city Haiphong next. If they captured Haiphong, they might force the French army to withdraw from Hanoi. Then their guerrilla area has advanced southward to the central area of ??Annan, and they have achieved their goal. They will definitely do their best to stabilize their territory, and they will not be able to worry about threatening the Qing government. If the Qing government It would be better if the government's attitude toward the outside world were tougher. Li Zhenhua discussed with several of them and left a battalion to garrison Lang Son. He also found some strong soldiers in the border areas who spoke Hoi An Nan and asked Wild Cat to lead them to advance quickly and lightly into Annan's seaport city. The troops behind Haiphong were behind them. Some of the preliminary tasks for arriving at them were to conduct reconnaissance of the enemy's ports. As long as the news that their large forces were wiped out in China did not reach here, all operations would be safe. The enemy's strength was very small and their alertness was relatively lax. But if the enemy gets the news, the sneak attack may turn into a force attack. After the discussion, Li Zhenhua and Zhang Xinghua led the second group of troops to set off. Wei Xiaohu was the third group. His supply battalion and artillery battalion were only mortars to follow the large troops in the end. They had to first go southwest to Beiwang and then Turning southeast again, they would have to cover more than 500 miles, which would take them six to eight days. Li Zhenhua and his party traveled directly from Lang Son to the southeast, which is more than 300 miles away. Li Zhenhua asked for four days to arrive. He sent out a carrier pigeon to inform Fangcheng of the action plan and asked them to take the French prisoners to Fangcheng. There was a lot of work there and no one could support these idlers. They could only support themselves. Feed themselves. Then he rushed to Haiphong with the soldiers of the two battalions. There is actually no road here, but there are traces left by some hunters or businessmen passing by. They rely on the compass to check the direction, as long as the approximate direction is good, but the soldiers spend a lot of energy moving forward in the jungle. The front is Using two machetes to clear the road, more than a thousand people were marching on the rugged mountain road. On the first day, the first battalion opened the road in front, and the second battalion could relax. On the second day, the second battalion opened the road, and the first battalion could relax. They almost never rested and worked hard. Xiang Qianjin rested and waited for the road to be opened. Li Zhenhua was also in the process of opening the road. Some strong soldiers were also exhausted. Four days later, they finally arrived near Haiphong. Fortunately, these days strengthened the physical strength of the soldiers, and the physical quality of the soldiers was greatly improved. It only took four days to arrive. If it weren't for this kind of training, it would have taken a lot longer. The soldiers who came in front were already waiting for them. They reported to Li Zhenhua that the French army had not changed much yet, but they may have known about their army's defeat in China because some people were secretly discussing it in the hotel. They definitely don't know about Lang Son, and their defenses are not very strict. It turns out that they only have a garrison of four or five hundred people here, and a sneak attack should be possible They also drew a sketch and wrote on it the situation of the enemy's garrison. Li Zhenhua took a look at the sketch. He didn¡¯t pay much attention to the four- to five-hundred-man French army, but the key was the enemy¡¯s navy. Their navy is now ranked second in the world. The two battalion commanders were left to control the troops' meals and rest. Li Zhenhua went to see the terrain with the two regiment commanders and deputy regiment commanders. After entering the coastal defense, Li Zhenhua immediately discovered a problem. There were no French soldiers hanging out and some drinking. There are also groups of French troops on patrol. Judging from their expressions, they should be very nervous. Li Zhenhua immediately became more vigilant. It seemed that the enemy was probably on guard, but because his soldiers were inexperienced, they didn't mention it. Li Zhenhua asked him to lead him to the mountain next to the port to take a look. After they climbed up the mountain, the entire port had already It was all in sight. Through the telescope, he saw three French cruisers docked there. The soldier said: "Yesterday there were two warships and today there are three." Li Zhenhua said in his heart that he was lucky that he had come to see if he wanted to do it. If something goes terribly wrong, as long as a warship leaves the shore and fires at your own troops, your losses will be huge. You know that the large-caliber artillery on their warships are all four-inch or eight-inch, so the lethality will be much greater. . Li Zhenhua suddenly discovered his American merchant ship through the telescope. How did it dock there? It seemed that the boat sent by Wang Xin and others to help them docked very scientifically. It blocked the outside of the three warships. Li Zhenhua asked the two regiment commanders to look at it again and said, "Tell me about your fighting style." Zhang Xinghua said, "The infantry is easy to talk about, but the warship is hard to talk about. Otherwise, we can wait for our artillery to come up and then fight." Wildcat. He also said: "The only way to immobilize the warships is for us to snatch them over." Li Zhenhua saw that the two of them had no clever tricks, so he said to the soldier: "Can you find some boats and some fishing nets?" " No problem. How many boats and fishing nets are needed?" "Three boats are enough to prepare six. I need three boats to prepare them in the evening." "I will have them ready before evening. Go to our boat. I want to find a person in charge of them." Several people went down the mountain and returned to the place where the soldiers were resting. Several battalions of soldiers were resting, and the company commanders came over. Li Zhenhua said immediately: "It's time for us to talk about our respective combat missions." Several people sat around and listened to Li Zhenhua's battle plan: "The two companies of the Second Battalion are responsible for dealing with the enemy's infantry. When the battle on the seaside begins, you will launch an attack. The commander of the second battalion will be responsible for the specific actions of destroying the enemy's infantry units. Your third company will be responsible for guarding the first battalion. The second mortar company will coordinate with your actions. The three companies of the first battalion will be responsible for one company. Each warship draws ten warriors with good water skills, disguised as fishermen, and start taking action at three o'clock in the middle of the night. First, you are responsible for wrapping the propellers of the enemy warships with fishing nets to prevent them from moving. Then you climb onto the enemy warships and kill them. After the other units of the sentry company have eliminated the enemy's sentries, they will launch an assault and rush to the warships to destroy the enemies. It is best to capture all the warships alive and not to damage them. Those warships will be ours in the future. Those naval soldiers will have to serve us in the future. " Li Zhenhua Then he asked the soldiers on the merchant ship: "How many people are there in your ship? What weapons do you have?" The soldiers on the ship replied: "We have more than a hundred and twelve mortars." "You want to ask Each warship sends two or three guides specifically to lead the sailors who are trying to catch them. We are not familiar with the situation on the warship. In addition, your artillery must keep an eye on the enemy's fire points. They are fine. As long as they fire, you are responsible for suppressing them. If they run away, you must pursue them and do everything possible to cover the infantry brothers to complete the mission." All the commanders participating in the meeting agreed very much with Li Zhenhua's combat plan because Li Zhenhua had considered all aspects very carefully. Li Zhenhua checked that it was still early and asked everyone to prepare separately and seize the time to rest. Li Zhenhua¡¯s entire combat deployment has combined the combat operations of the navy and the army, which is the concept of amphibious operations. At the time, I could not think of this. Text Chapter 33 Fierce Battle at Coastal Defense Chapter 33 Fierce Battle at Coastal Defense Under the moonlight, the "Annan Rescue" began to take action. They each entered their own standby positions. Three small boats went down the river and approached the French warships. It was already past midnight. The French Navy is the second largest navy in the world except the United Kingdom. They They have never encountered any attack from land. Just imagine who dares to attack them. Therefore, they have no vigilance at all. They just arranged sentries symbolically as usual, but the sentries did not take the matter to heart at all. After finding a comfortable place, he also went to visit their French Duke Zhou. Each boat found its own target and quietly approached it. Although it was a hot day, the water was still very cold. They took a few sips of wine and wiped their bodies with it. The soldiers quietly went into the water and dived into the water with fishing nets. Hang up the propellers of the warship. They won't move. It's fine. If they start moving, the fishing nets will wrap up the propellers. Then they gently surface. The soldiers on the ship pull them up. They start to put on their own clothes. Other soldiers They began to use the hook on the bamboo pole to lightly hook the side of the ship. A soldier climbed up and then threw down the rope ladder. The soldiers climbed up one by one. They quietly found the enemy's sentry. The dagger in his hand flashed and released them. After falling down, he made several circles with a match to the far shore. More than a hundred soldiers who were waiting on the shore quietly rushed over. They quickly boarded the warship and rushed to various cabins in the warship under the leadership of their guides. Soon, groups of French sailors were escorted up. Most of the sailors were more obedient, but some sailors tried to resist, but after they were repaired a few times by the butts of their rifles, they became more obedient. The whole battle can be said to have gone very smoothly, but what they didn't expect was that after they returned from reconnaissance, another French transport ship entered the port at sea. Because it was late, they did not unload the cargo and just parked there. When the soldiers rushed towards the warship quickly, the sentry on the most downstream warship was awakened and opened fire on them. A Hotchkiss heavy machine gun suppressed the soldiers who were about to board the ship. When the soldiers were anxious, Xinghua The mortars on the company's American merchant ship suddenly fired shells. The shells accurately landed next to the enemy's heavy machine gun. The enemy's heavy machine gun immediately became mute. The soldiers rushed forward. Although they opened fire, there were only a few soldiers. The grenades were thrown at the wounded soldiers and they surrendered immediately. At this time, the French transport ship started its machine under the command of the captain. The heavy machine guns on the ship were also firing desperately at the warship. Our mortars suppressed them, but because the ship had already moved the artillery, Without experience in fighting moving targets, many shots failed. The soldiers had no good way to deal with them. Those soldiers who were close jumped on the fishing boat and rowed towards the transport ship. They picked up the fishing net again, hoping to use this method to stop the enemy. Escape, but at this time the propeller of the boat was already turning. The soldier hung the fishing net on the propeller, but he was driven into the water by the rotating propeller. The French transport ship slowly stopped. It was just idling now but could not move forward. The mortar shells finally found their American merchant ship. It came close to it and fired grenades and machine guns. Soon it was fired. They subdued it, let alone a transport ship. Didn¡¯t even the warships surrender? . After hearing the fire on the seaside, the attack on the shore began immediately. The French infantry had no precautions at all. This is a Chinese proverb, which is called "closing the door and beating the dog." After the soldiers rushed into the enemy's camp, they were attacked during the day. We had already observed them and quickly blocked the door of their barracks and ordered them to surrender and obey. Even if they didn't obey, they could put on their clothes and come out. Even if they didn't obey, they could throw a grenade in through the door and all problems would be solved. After capturing their officer, he asked his officer to give orders and ordered his soldiers to put down their weapons. As a result, there were no casualties on both sides, but hundreds of people were captured. At daybreak, the battle was over, and the entire coastal defense had fallen into the hands of Annan. Li Zhenhua immediately had people write a notice of peace and security, stating that the coastal defense was now in the hands of the Annan people, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and explaining that the safety of the local people was to be protected. Then there was counting of loot, interrogation of prisoners, and other captains of enemy cruisers. There was nothing new. Their Far East Fleet belonging to the French Navy was originally stationed here, but the new warship said that its mission was to strengthen the defense against China. The captain of the transport ship also wanted to defend and bombard China's coast at the appropriate time. He also wanted him to cooperate with the cruise fleet's actions. His ship carried the supplies needed by the warships, including coal, water, food, and warships for combat. Cannonballs etc. The task of the enemy's land garrison commander is to strengthen defense, pay close attention to China's movements and enter a state of combat readiness. Through the analysis of these data, Li Zhenhua knew that the tactics he used before would have to stop because the enemy already knew that they had suffered losses in China. Soon they would also know about their logistics base in Lang Son.The situation of being eaten by others has now moved from the dark to the open. We might as well continue to give them a try and organize the French artillery and operators on the cruiser to see if one or two warships can be dispatched to bombard Hanoi in an effort to drive away the French troops in Hanoi and expand their guerrilla zone. Under the eager eyes of the soldiers and the dark muzzles of the guns, many French sailors succumbed and agreed to follow the orders of the "Annan Army" and set out to bombard Hanoi. Li Zhenhua ordered two companies of soldiers to board the warship and send the French ships to Hanoi. He transferred the captain Liu Hai on his own ship and asked him to be the captain. He brought some of his own gunners. As long as the French army's engineers were assigned other positions, they Under the surveillance of the "Annan Army", the warship went up the river to Hanoi. Now there was a dragon flag flying on the mast of the warship, but there was a line of words on one side that said "Annan Rescue". The warship went up the river and soon arrived in Hanoi. Li Zhenhua ordered a company to go to land to cover an artillery observation group and occupied a hill next to Hanoi to let them indicate the target for the artillery. The cannons on the warships began to bombard Hanoi. A shell fell in the French military camp. Regardless of whether it was accurate or not, it was fired at Hanoi. After a while, someone appeared on the mountain. From the telescope, we could see the intention of their command. After that, they bombarded the target according to their instructions. The total number of French troops in Annan is more than 20,000, scattered in various strategic locations in Annan, such as Saigon, Hanoi, Haiphong, Da Nang and other places. Now they have transferred more than 2,000 people from various places to China, so that their troops are already stretched thin. Those people were all left behind by the squadron. Now the Annan people have taken over the coastal defense. At the same time, they have been bombarded by the Annan navy. Then Hanoi Colonel Barker, commander of the French garrison in Hanoi, was under attack all around. He really couldn't sit still. Faced with the situation in northern Annam, he felt that it would be a pity to abandon Hanoi, but if he wanted to hold it with only a few thousand men in his hands, it would be absolutely impossible. He now only has an army of two or three thousand people, but he is surrounded by "Annan rescuers" on all sides. "Looking at the activity, there were about ten to twenty thousand people around, and the Annan army also had warships and cannons. The existing French army could never hold on. He immediately sent an urgent telegram to Saigon and sent people to the south. When he sent the letter, he said that Hanoi was now under siege by Annan's army. Now it was impossible to defend Hanoi. In order to be responsible for the lives of French soldiers, he requested that the troops withdraw from Hanoi as soon as possible. He sent a team of more than 30 cavalrymen to deliver messages to the south. They were ambushed as soon as they ran out of Hanoi. Five or six of them were killed. The rest of the cavalrymen were all disarmed. A man who looked like a leader asked them who they were. The messenger who was going to deliver a message to the south immediately released them, but he could only lay down his arms and allow the two of them to go to Saigon empty-handed. The rest went into their own prison camps. When Governor Annan saw Buck¡¯s letter, he didn¡¯t understand how this idiot Buck could suddenly appear like this without any warning at all. A force of 10,000 to 20,000 people ¡°rescued Annan¡±? In desperation, they had to let Buck withdraw his troops from Hanoi to the front line in Da Nang before considering how to retaliate against them. The governor knew very well that there must be people from the Qing Dynasty behind the scenes, but because there was no evidence, he could only give up his report to the country. He only said that because the weather had reached the rainy season, the logistics supply could not be guaranteed, so he had to shrink his troops to facilitate future attacks. attack. The team of two to three thousand people was pursued by the Annamites again on the road. They lost hundreds of soldiers and a batch of heavy supplies, but they managed to escape anyway. Anyway, this is the situation. How the domestic cabinet meets and discusses is not something I have to worry about. Seeing that Li Zhenhua had forced the French army to withdraw from Hanoi, they immediately rearranged the military deployment in northern Annam. It would be impossible to use only a regiment of more than two thousand people to deal with the French army. These troops could only be surprise troops and suspicious troops. This can only be Zhuge Liang's empty city plan. The specific situation cannot be known to the French army. Text Chapter 34 Leading the warship home Chapter 34 Leading the Warship Home At this time, Li Zhenhua felt something was wrong. He felt that this was similar to China's confrontation with Vietnam decades later, but he knew that this was absolutely different from the situation in the future. Now Annan is truly and directly under his control, and he must make full use of the Chinese in Annan so that they can truly grasp the power in their hands in Annan. Let them follow your orders absolutely. The army must be dominated by Chinese people and absolutely obey their own commands. For Annan, all the enterprises originally run by the French will be owned by the French but managed by the French. However, the destination of the taxed products is also decided by themselves. Some coal, steel, etc. will be used first by Fangcheng. The rest are sold by the French themselves. After arranging Annan¡¯s work, Li Zhenhua decided to set off from Hanoi via Haiphong and take a warship back to Fangcheng. It was the first time for all the soldiers except Li Zhenhua to sit on a warship on the sea. The waves in Beibu Gulf were very big, but the conditions on this day were surprisingly good. There was basically no wind on the sea. Most of the soldiers did not get seasick, but there were some soldiers. Very dizzy. Therefore, they have no chance to appreciate the sea scenery. Since receiving the order to set off from the station, these soldiers have been marching in addition to fighting. They have never stopped like a fully wound alarm clock. Now that they have relaxed, they are really not used to running on land for more than ten days. Now they have never stopped. The distance from Annan's coastal defense to the city defense where we are stationed is more than one hundred nautical miles, which is ten hours' journey by warships. As soon as we entered the sea of ??Fangcheng, we saw many people gathering on the newly built pier from a distance. It turned out that they were all here to greet them. When they saw their three cruisers coming from a distance, their own ship came behind them. Seems much smaller. Li Zhenhua has already named his three warships: "Yangtze River", "Yellow River" and "Pearl River". The transport ship is officially named "Guangzhou". The original small American transport ship is named "Fangcheng" . The first people rushing to get on the warship were a few gentle people. Needless to say, they were Yu Shi and Qiao Delu from the Fujian Navy. When Li Zhenhua saw it, he hurriedly asked someone to pick them up. As soon as they came up, they He hugged Li Zhenhua and choked up. People couldn't understand why they were like this. But Li Zhenhua knew that the Fujian Navy was blocked in his home by the French Navy and let them beat him. It was really unpleasant. Now he can only use the army to get it from the navy. Recapturing the warship is considered a miracle, but you can't help but believe that the miracle happened right in front of your eyes. You Xuushi and Qiao Delu said to Li Zhenhua: "General, I thank you for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in Fujian Navy." After saying that, they were about to kneel down in front of Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said hurriedly: "Don't be like this, heroes of Fujian Navy." I sacrificed myself for the country. I just did what I was supposed to do. You two don¡¯t have to do that.¡± ¡°General, don¡¯t you know the French names and histories of the warships you brought today?¡± Li Zhenhua said, ¡°I don¡¯t know that. "Pay attention." "These three warships participated in the Battle of Mawei. After the battle, the people attacked them many times and vowed to sink them. You see, the ship we are standing on is the Dujue Louis. One of their best is the USS Triumph, which is an armored cruiser. We all hated these warships at the time, but today they are ours again." After saying this, the two of them were already in tears. flowed down. With Li Zhenhua¡¯s comfort, they calmed down and took some of their men to the warship to inspect some information about the warship. They also asked some personnel of the French Navy, especially technical personnel, to obtain first-hand information. In order to avoid the trouble of the French in the future, Xinghuahua Company said to the outside world that it purchased it from the Annan government for a large amount of money. The transaction method was to exchange arms for "Annan rescue". Everyone understands that this is a lie. But if you want to say that's not the case, then you have to provide evidence. If there is no evidence, sorry, then it is all in vain. On the other hand, I will say that you are slandering me. Then it depends on whose fist is stronger. If it is weak, don't say anything. If you get hard, it's your decision. Now I am not afraid of them, but it depends on what the weak Qing government says. Anyway, I don't care about them, they can say whatever they like. The warship is in my hands. If you want to take it back, just take it yourself. Although there were many people at the welcome ceremony, it was not as sensational as the Zhennanguan victory because this was a victory achieved by the "Annan" people and had nothing to do with them. Only Tang Jiong, who knew the situation, despised himself severely. He originally thought that Li Zhenhua was a young man who was overestimating his ability to take the initiative to attack. It seemed that he was really inferior to others. They dared to attack and drove the French soldiers back from the north. After returning to the south, he thought for a while and then reported Li Zhenhua's victory to the court. ?At this time, the quarrel in the court about whether to send troops has not ended yet, but when Tang Jiong's report was placed in front of the ministers, people suddenly became quiet. The "Annan Rescue" victory was all caused by us Chinese. Why did it become the "Annan" victory? The Queen Mother felt as if she had been slapped hard and as if she drank a glass of iced sour plum soup on June 1st. I feel so comfortable that I have captured three enemy ships that invaded us back then, and now I can avenge myself for the Battle of Mawei. That year, the common people scolded themselves a lot. Not to mention that Master Weng was the Westernization official who was leading the war. Now they were also thinking deeply about the powerful Li Hongzhang, Sun Yuwen, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of the two lakes. They all began to think of their own. Sun Yuwen understood it first: "I would like to inform the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty that this young man, Li Zhenhua, must be used. Please issue a decree to appoint him immediately and let him guard the country for our Qing Dynasty in the southwest border." This Minister of War is very good. It's smart to do more things that don't require your own money. After listening to Sun Zhongtang's words, people began to speak again. They all agreed to promote Li Zhenhua and let him station in the southwest region. This is a general. It would be a pity if he could not be used by the country. But no matter how good the advice is, there are discordant notes. Master Weng said again: "This is a mistake for the country. Just wait for the French to negotiate." After hearing this, everyone looked at him with contempt. Even his best friends do not agree with his views. But at this time, the Queen Mother's face did not change. She was thinking about the problem that Han Chen could not be reused. However, the Manchus under her were so unsatisfactory. No one could do as much as this doll. I am a little worried. If all my fellow humans are like this doll, then I will have less to worry about. Her mood was so chaotic that the Queen Mother finally said: "Every minister, please step aside first and let me think about this matter for a while." The ministers withdrew. Only the two of them, a few eunuchs and a few eunuchs were left in the empty Yangxin Palace. The maid waited on the Queen Mother from a distance and said to Emperor Guangxu: "In your opinion, Your Majesty, how should this matter be done?" Guangxu lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "It can only be like this. We are now at the time of employing people. "The Queen Mother sighed: "I don't think so, but we must be careful about what our Han ancestors said." Guangxu said again: "Aren't we Han people in power everywhere now? Is it okay for a Manchu? There are not many mature things." The two were silent for a while, and finally the Queen Mother spoke: "Then make him the second grade general of Yunnan and be responsible for the affairs of Annan. He is not allowed to leave the fiefdom (Yunnan and Guangxi). . In addition, there is no need to go to the capital to express his gratitude, and he will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and ten jars of jade. Just let him tell Tang Jiong to keep an eye on him. " Guangxu said to the eunuch in charge, Li Lianying, "Choose a capable person to go to Yunnan. Go. Call Tang Jiong to give orders to that Li Zhenhua. If such a person has a temper, then he should be better off." The Queen Mother said angrily: "Since when have you started to talk down to these slaves? " Due to the large number of migrant workers entering Fangcheng, the project is progressing very quickly. The pier is basically in shape. The docking of warships is still a little small, but there is finally a place. On this day Wang Xin came excitedly and said to Li Zhenhua: "Brother, Johnson is back." Li Zhenhua immediately asked: "Where are they now?" "They have already arrived in Hong Kong. Let me add that they will be here soon." Li Zhenhua couldn't help but Asked: "How did you know?" "You are stupid. Of course it is a homing pigeon." In one sentence, Li Zhenhua's enthusiasm has gone down again. It seems that this communication problem is still a big problem. He should have a line to communicate directly with countries around the world. Just contact me. So he immediately found You Xuushi and Qiao Delu and said to them: "Stop the other work first. You must first set up our communication lines. At least we must be able to connect us to Guangzhou and Hong Kong." Our Fangcheng area would be too closed.¡± Text Chapter 35 Johnson made great contributions Chapter 35: Johnson made a great contribution Both of them agreed, so they began to arrange the work. First, they sent people to Hong Kong to contact them on how to interface and purchase materials. You Xuushi and Qiao Delu had fully figured out the structure of the French warships. When they proposed to build their own warships, Li Zhenhua raised objections, that is, the French warships were already lagging behind. Let's take it as an example. It only has a 4,400-ton main gun, a six-inch 150mm gun, and a speed of 16 knots. If it is built at least according to Beiyang's Zhenyuan-class ironclads. The displacement is more than 7,000 tons. The main gun is 280 mm, but Zhenyuan's rate of fire is too slow. One shot every three minutes. Isn't it waiting for others to hit itself? In the future, the speed must reach 20 knots or more. At this time, both You Xuushi and Qiao Delu had troubled expressions on their faces. Li Zhenhua said to them: "This is not a problem now. Let's see what new information Johnson brings us from the United States in a few days." Johnson came back three days later. Li Zhenhua went to the pier to greet him personally. There were quite a lot of people here this time. After they came down, Johnson was busy hugging Li Zhenhua first. He wanted to introduce his gains this time first. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to him: "First of all, Why don't you let all the gentlemen take a rest first and then we will introduce them one by one?" Several people who went to the United States with Johnson also bowed and said hello to Li Zhenhua. After settling in those people from the United States, Li Zhenhua immediately started talking with Johnson and others in his office. Johnson gained a lot from this trip. He was no longer in the same miserable state as he had been. He happily said to Li Zhenhua: "Boss, you are so great. You actually defeated France, which is known as the first army in continental Europe, with only 1,500 people." When the army heard the news, I couldn't believe it was true. But who in the world can compare with my boss? Later, I heard people say: Annan defeated the sea defense and pushed the French army out of Hanoi. When I kicked him out, I heard that this was impossible. This was something that could only be done by my boss. It was God¡¯s will that I could meet you. My wife told me that you had met the best boss in the world. You must work loyally for your boss and you will not allow anything that is not beneficial to your boss. She wants me to work for you for the rest of my life." After saying this, several people laughed at the same time and asked: "This. "Is it what you mean or what your wife means?" "Of course it is what I mean, but my wife emphasized it again." Johnson began to report the situation of the trip to Li Zhenhua, and Huang Jianxin and Gao Qiang also made additions from time to time. It turned out that the group of them started their operations immediately after arriving in the United States. They probably traveled to more than half of the United States. The economy in the United States is not very prosperous now. There happened to be a shipyard that took over the work of a large cargo ship, but the owner of the ship did not have the money to pay in the end. The shipyard came to a standstill, so several directors were unwilling to invest any more and their shipyard went bankrupt. They immediately went to negotiate to acquire their shipyard equipment. As a result, they sold it at a very low price and also gave away part of their raw materials. and semi-finished products were shipped back. They also recruited some technicians and senior technicians from their factory. Hearing this, Li Zhenhua said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, this is great. You have made a great contribution." Johnson said: "Okay, it's great, but people want money. Fortunately, Mr. Situ Meitang, an overseas Chinese in the United States, heard that After the victory at Zhennanguan, he took the initiative to find us and collected all the remaining 350,000 taels of silver. Here is a letter from him to you." He took out a letter from his bag. The letter was handed to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua took the letter, tore open the seal and took out the letter. Then a piece of paper fell out. Li Zhenhua bent down and picked it up. It turned out that it was a Citibank check. The denomination on it was silver. One million taels. Li Zhenhua was stunned at this moment. He had only heard about Mr. Situ Meitang and knew that he was a famous patriotic overseas Chinese in the late Qing Dynasty, but he never expected that he would be so generous. He first advanced 350,000 taels of silver and then paid He donated one million taels of silver. How can I repay this favor? He hurriedly began to read the letter again. The letter was very simple and contained only a few words: "I am very pleased to learn that Mr. Sir won a great victory at Zhennanguan and at the same time outsmarted Haiphong and Hanoi. Mr. This move has greatly boosted the ambition of the Chinese people. Overseas travelers cannot think of it." I would like to express my admiration by donating a small amount of money." After reading the letter, Li Zhenhua said: "This is very touching. I must meet this old gentleman when I have time." They all said together: "The old man's noble character. It¡¯s really touching.¡± Johnson immediately said: ¡°The old man may go back to China soon.¡± ¡°That would be great. I must thank him in person.¡±p; In the evening, Li Zhenhua held a cocktail party to entertain all the guests who came to China. He said to everyone in English at the banquet: "Welcome to our country in the East. Our conditions may be worse now, but in your hands we will have a strong "The Xinghua Company appeared." Li Zhenhua used a cryptic phrase here. His original intention was that a powerful China would appear in the east of the world. Because he was happy and people were toasting to him, Li Zhenhua drank too much for the first time. The next day, he didn't do morning exercises for the first time. When he woke up, he found Wang Xin lying next to his bed and sleeping. Her saliva was already flowing out. His little face turned red and looked extremely charming. He hurriedly got up. Wang Xin also woke up. Li Zhenhua hurriedly asked: "Why are you sleeping here?" "You drank too much yesterday and vomited. I'm afraid that people can't take care of you and me. I just spent the night here." Li Zhenhua thought to himself that he was embarrassed this time. It would be too bad for people to know the impact. He had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry for making you all laugh. I didn't expect that I would embarrass such a big person." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you will say sorry, but you won't say anything else." Wang Xin's face relaxed. When Li Zhenhua saw it, it was better to say less and he hurriedly started to wash up. Wang Xin looked like a young daughter-in-law who had just been angry and quickly started to wait on him to wash up. After Li Zhenhua washed up, he was about to leave. Two girls came in and brought breakfast to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua saw it and had to sit down and eat. Wang Xin sat next to him and watched him eat and said quietly to him: "You should take a look at us. "How much money is there in total?" Li Zhenhua asked while eating. "A total of 8,726,542 taels of silver were collected." "Whose money does it all belong to?" "The largest donation was made to us by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the name of the collective. Mr. Situ from the United States donated 1.35 million taels. The Shanxi banknote industry donated 1.2 million taels. A Malaysian businessman donated 900,000 taels. The Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce donated 800,000 taels. Jiangsu The Chamber of Commerce donated 800,000 taels. The most important thing was Li Hongzhang, the Governor of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang. He actually donated 100,000 taels in his own name. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, donated 50,000 taels. Some domestic officials also donated Tang Jiong. "I just donated five thousand taels." "In addition, Li Hongzhang also has a letter for you." "Oh, what did you say? It's just a couplet: Zhennan Pass bravely kills the enemy, and the enemy is brave and clever, and he uses his tactics to defeat the coastal defense. "Forcing the enemy chieftains to show off our army's power." "It seems that we have gone too far this time. Those old people are all great people." Text Chapter 36: Treating the Imperial Envoy like this Chapter 36 Entertaining the Imperial Minister like this Li Zhenhua has started a new job. Now he and his colleagues all agree that the next step is to pay close attention to economic income. Everyone has set their eyes on maritime transportation. If you have a cruiser, then We can carry out escort work for ocean transportation. No one dares to cross the area in the South China Sea where pirates often hang out. But since we have our own cruisers, those pirates will not pay attention to it. Overseas Chinese in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore are also looking forward to normal business exchanges with their home countries. However, due to the rampant pirates in the South China Sea for many years, people can only face each other across the sea and cannot travel freely. Now I already have two old ships, an American ship, a French ship, and three cruisers. Now it is a fleet, but it needs to be further expanded. You can't let the warships also do transportation. So the original Fujian Navy A group of outstanding sailors joined warships, and a group of outstanding offshore fishermen joined merchant ships and became sailors on merchant ships. After training, warehouse, accountant and other managers also took up their new positions. Li Zhenhua first fully staffed the warship and then asked everyone to train and prepare for the escort work of ocean transportation. The instructors on the warship were all foreigners, including Americans and some French who were willing to help the Chinese. At the same time, the fishermen also need to get acquainted with the ocean-going ships as soon as possible. Wang Xin said to Li Zhenhua: "We still have too few people, especially the manpower on the warships. The main officers are not fully equipped. What if I'm afraid we can't go out." "Yeah," Li Zhenhua said, "I'm worried about this now, but our naval personnel will soon be available and the Beiyang Navy will help us." "Then let's run away first. For domestic routes, it is still possible for our ships to transport on the inland sea first," Wang Xin said. "No, we have to walk on two legs. First, concentrate people on one warship to escort the two long-distance ships and run overseas routes. The two ships run offshore." Li Zhenhua replied. "It has to be like this. Anyway, we can't wait idlely for our new ships to come out and increase our efforts." The first batch of fleets set off from Fangcheng and Guangzhou. Their destination was the Philippines and then went to Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore ships silk, porcelain, lacquerware, etc. from China, and back they can ship rubber, grain, etc. Everyone in Fangcheng went to the dock to see off their fleet. This was people's hope. The branch in Guangzhou prepared a large amount of goods for them. Even Fangcheng also prepared some goods, such as some bamboo products hand-woven by people. Tang Jiong is here. He is accompanied by a palace eunuch. The eunuch¡¯s name is Xiao Shanzi and his surname is Yeshan. His task is to convey the imperial edict of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. He is now an imperial envoy. As soon as he entered Li Zhenhua's office, the eunuch shouted to Li Zhenhua in his masculine voice: "The emperor has ordered Li Zhenhua to accept the order." Li Zhenhua was stunned when he heard that he was not an official of the Qing Dynasty who asked me to accept it. Tang Jiong hurriedly walked to Li Zhenhua and whispered to Li Zhenhua: "This is the grace of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Please hurry up and accept the order." Li Zhenhua still sat there without moving. Tang Jiong said to him: "You have to kneel down. Ah." Li Zhenhua started to speak: "Master Tang, I respect you so I call you. Master Tang, don't want me to kneel for anything else. Men's legs are for standing, walking or fighting, not for getting down. There is no way for me to kneel down." When he saw that Li Zhenhua was in trouble, the eunuch immediately said in his heart that Long Live Lord had the foresight to know that he would not accept the order happily. Xiao Shanzi knew what the emperor meant. He couldn't let this matter go unnoticed, so he didn't care how Tang Jiong reacted, walked over and said to Li Zhenhua: "Since Mr. Li doesn't want to kneel down, then you can leave it alone. Please take a look at it, Mr. Li. This is the emperor and the emperor." The Queen Mother¡¯s heartfelt wishes.¡± Upon hearing this, Li Zhenhua felt that there was no need to be too stiff, so he took the yellow cloth roll. He said in his heart that the cloth was not bad and would definitely sell well if it was sold in Europe. Good price. What kind of person is this? He is just thinking about how to make money. There is nothing he can do about it. He is short of money now. "Emperor Zhao of Fengtian Chengyun said: Feng Li Zhenhua was granted the second rank of General of Yunnan and was responsible for the military affairs of Annan. He was not allowed to leave the fiefdom (Yunnan and Guangxi) without incident. In addition, he was rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, ten altars of jade and two pays of jade. Li Zhenhua did not need to go to Beijing. Thank you, just stay in Guangxi. "I appreciate this." When he saw this imperial edict from the emperor, Li Zhenhua was really dumbfounded. Why can so many of my industries and military goals only stay in Yunnan and Guangxi? What's more, the little money given by the above is quite good. Those jade Ruyi and other things used for military purposes can be used as cultural relics in the future. Those brothers under Jiu are very good.Let them drink after meeting. So he said to the eunuch: "You go back and tell the emperor and the queen mother that I can accept the things, but I can't be this official because I have to travel to various places to see the military and my commercial institutions. It's impossible to stay in Guangxi. Let's go. I can't do it." Let's go eat if we're hungry." The two imperial ministers who conveyed the order arrived at his construction site's common room with Li Zhenhua. Tang Jiong felt that he was not an unreasonable person after dealing with Li Zhenhua, so he pulled him away. Li Zhenhua said quietly: "General Li has something to say." Because his official position was at the same level as Li Zhenhua's second-grade official, but because the Qing Dynasty "ruled military affairs with culture" or emphasized culture over military affairs, he used the word "General Li" here. He didn't dare to stroke Li Zhenhua's beard with the word "Official". Li Zhenhua didn't pay attention to his choice of words: "Master Tang, please speak." "We have dealt with each other several times and I have been helped by you many times. We can be said to be friends. I will just say that this imperial envoy cannot offend you. "You have to treat them well." "What do you mean?" "You have to treat these eunuchs well, or they will try their best to cause trouble for you in the future." "Master Tang," Li Zhenhua said seriously. "First of all, I'm not from the imperial court and he can't control me. Secondly, he doesn't dare. When they see the French, they want to scare me to death, but they are not afraid. Why should I be afraid of them?" "Master Li" Li Zhenhua raised his hands. Tang Jiong stopped talking. At this time, the people in the kitchen served them food. It was just one rice, one vegetable, and one soup. The rice was rice and the rice was ordinary vegetable soup. There were a few vegetable leaves floating in the white water with a few drops of oil on them. They came in to eat. All the workers were greeting Li Zhenhua, but no one came to eat with him. Then Wang Xin came over and she sat at Li Zhenhua's table to eat together. This was also unreasonable in the eyes of those in the Qing Dynasty. Tang Jiong asked Wang Xin: "Does Mr. Li eat here every day?" "Yes, he eats here with everyone every day. Sometimes he also eats on the construction site. People usually come to eat with him and discuss work. He and this person are called We had a dinner table meeting and people just didn¡¯t come over to eat when they saw there were guests.¡± Text Chapter 37 Entertaining the Imperial Envoy like this (2) Chapter 37 Entertaining the Imperial Minister in this way (2) Tang Jiong felt that it was unbelievable that such a big man would have a meal with the people below, but it was a bit inappropriate. The little eunuch had climbed up from a young age, and he was not good at it in the palace. Later, he fell in love with the chief eunuch Li Lianying and became his adopted son. Then he left the lower ranks and was promoted to a junior steward. But he knew what the emperor's words conveyed by the chief steward were. Although he was not satisfied with Li Zhenhua's treatment of him, he But he didn't dare to say anything. He could show off his power to Tang Jiong, but for Li Zhenhua, he was just afraid of ruining things and not being able to deliver the job when he returned. Therefore, the young eunuch asked Li Zhenhua cautiously: "Master Li, how do I explain this matter to the emperor and the queen mother when I go back?" The two of them were thinking, but Li Zhenhua didn't think about so many things. Besides, he ate quickly. He has put down his chopsticks. So he said: "Just go back as I said." "My lord, I don't know if I go back like this, then no matter what the Queen Mother and the Emperor say, I will not be able to pass the chief general's test. "It's skin." Li Zhenhua laughed when he heard it: "Then just leave this skin of yours and write them a letter." "Thank you, Mr. Li." Li Zhenhua will write that if he is in the mood. He said to Tang Jiong: "Then please ask Mr. Tang to do it for you." The little eunuch also cooperated: "Then I will help Mr. Tang." Li Zhenhua smiled and said: "If Mr. Tang can't do it, just talk to the emperor about that precaution." The county magistrate can do it for me." Tang Jiong was stunned for a moment. It's too ridiculous of you to be a seventh-grade magistrate instead of being a second-grade general. Xiao Shanzi was also looking at Li Zhenhua in shock. Seeing their looks, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to explain: "I can't help but rent the land here from Fangcheng County. If I become the magistrate, wouldn't I have to borrow it?" He wanted to save the one hundred and eighty taels of silver every year. ah. Tang Jiong had no choice but to take over this hot potato. Li Zhenhua said to the two of them: "Since you have worked hard on the way here, you can rest here for a few days. The conditions here are so bad that they are not as comfortable as you in the capital." The little eunuch's name is Yeshan. People in the palace call him Xiaoshan. People outside called him Eunuch Ye. He was a caring person and went around playing by himself. He also took photos of the warships and other things he thought were useful. Li Zhenhua took this opportunity to talk to Tang Jiong. He first said that he would give Tang Jiong some of the military supplies that the Qing army brought back from Langshan. Tang Jiong was very grateful when he heard that the value of those supplies was at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Tang Jiong believed that Li Zhenhua was a rare talent both from the perspective of the country and his personal feelings. He must help Li Zhenhua and persuaded Li Zhenhua to take over the title of "Yunnan General". He said that this would be of great benefit to him in the future. There are many people who have no chance of getting an official position, so why should they donate an official position, not to mention that it is an official title granted by the emperor and the queen mother because of their merits? If I want to develop in the future, I cannot do without the cooperation between government and business. However, Li Zhenhua still shied away from this because he had to leave Guangxi. This made Tang Jiong admire him even more and he frankly said to him that since Mr. Li always thinks about the country and the people, if Mr. Li needs anything, just ask and let him go. He can just do it. Li Zhenhua raised the issue of opening a mine in Yunnan in the future. Tang Jiong was very interested in this. It turned out that Yunnan¡¯s copper mine was the largest in China. Now when Li Zhenhua proposed to develop non-ferrous metals such as lead, aluminum, tin and nickel in Yunnan, he said Definitely support it strongly. Whatever you need my help, I will do my best to help you. Tang Jiong said to Li Zhenhua sincerely: "Mr. Li, you are a person who does great things. I would rather this official resign, but I will definitely support you." Li Zhenhua was also happy. Said: "Master Tang, looking at the entire Qing government, there are not many people who can see the situation as clearly as you do. I am determined to make you a friend." "Okay! From now on, we will treat each other as brothers. Don't let the adults come and go." said Both of them laughed. At this point, Li Zhenhua said to Tang Jiong: "Master Tang, there is something I need to tell you. Yunnan has a lot of mineral resources. Now I want to build a railway. If you can get the rails there, you can consider it." Tang Jiong said. : "There is iron ore, but the equipment I have there is not good. You should produce it. I will provide you with the steel. I will provide you with part of the capital. I will secretly invest in a share and you will produce and process it yourself." "Then we have agreed that you will provide the steel. I provide the steel and I will produce the rails." A few days later, Xiao Shanzi thought he should go back. He came to say goodbye to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Eunuch Li took the land route when he came, so you can take the water route when you come back. So hard work. Besides, I happen to have one here.If a ship of grain needs to be transported to Tianjin, you can take the ship all the way to Tianjin and disembark. " Xiao Shanzi said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness. " "In addition, I have prepared something for Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang in Tianjin, so I can ask you to bring it to me, okay? " "Mr. Li, Xiao Shanzi, I can't do anything else but run an errand and send a letter, I promise I can do it. " "Thank you very much. " The next day, Xiao Shanzi boarded the ship. It was a wooden-hulled cargo ship that sailed offshore. It had several hundred tons. It was manufactured here in Fangcheng. The trial results were good. So I felt relieved to let Xiao Shanzi take this ship. . Seeing the cargo ship leaving, Tang Jiong quietly said to Li Zhenhua: "Brother! Your big things should be done. " Li Zhenhua was stunned after hearing this: "What's the big deal? " "Of course it's a big matter of marriage. When I came here, I went to see Mr. Wang Chi. He also wanted to let you get it done early, so he was relieved. " "What are you talking about? When did I say that I wanted to marry Miss Wang? " "Brother, this is your fault. Miss Wang is good-looking and talented, so she is a good housekeeper for you. Besides, you treat people's injuries and even their bodies. You watch and do it. How do you ask Miss Wang to remarry someone else? Ah, they said I won¡¯t marry anyone but you. " "Hey, man, I'm only sixteen or seventeen years old, and I'm still a child. And I'm less than twenty, aren't I still a child? And if I'm so busy every day, I might be finished that day. Wouldn't that waste someone's life? No, this won't work. "Li Zhenhua here regarded the present as the future era again. But when it comes to these things, Tang Jiong is no worse than a matchmaker. He immediately had something to say: "What you said is not the reason why men should marry when they are young and women should marry when they are young. Just look at the girls in Qing Dynasty who didn't get married at fifteen or six, and the men who didn't get married at ten or the youngest got married at twelve or three. Getting married when you are older is because your family is not good at it. Otherwise, how can you say that you are a poor elder? If you are poor, you get married later and have children later. Then slowly, you will become an elder." Text Chapter 38 The matchmaker was fooled away Chapter 38: The matchmaker was fooled (I wish everyone a happy holiday today. Although I am still not feeling well, I gritted my teeth and posted another chapter.) Tang Jiong continued: "You said you were afraid of delaying the lady, but the lady said otherwise. If you don't want to marry, do you have to delay this young lady? Besides, you are now in a high position and can't go to the front line to kill the enemy. Is there any danger? " Li Zhenhua was completely speechless this time. Jiong then asked: "Do you despise this young lady or do you already have someone else you like?" "Brother, please spare me. I almost fainted from what you said. Stop, stop, stop this." That¡¯s all for today. Please let me think about it for a while.¡± Li Zhenhua turned around and ran away, leaving Tang Jiong happy. The next day Li Zhenhua sent Tang Jiong away and asked him to return to Kunming. We'll talk about that later. I don't have time now. The excuse he gave Tang Jiong was to let him test the effectiveness of Xie Zuantai's airship and let him take a special airship back. This Xie Zuantai is really good. He has already mounted the French 37mm rapid-fire cannon on the airship. There are also two heavy machine guns. Now if something happens, the airship can stand alone. This Lord Tang Jiong became the first high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty to fly on an airship. This opened his eyes. It was good to ride on this thing, but there was one disadvantage, that is, he couldn't get on his ceremonial guards and had to carry them with him. He flew back with a few of his confidants. Now Li Zhenhua's main focus is on the military. The group of students in the training team at the mountain village have been there for several months and can be sent to the front-line troops. The new soldiers have also entered the training team. Because the place is too small, they are in Lang Son. A branch branch was established to expand the number of trained personnel. Most of the students recruited by the Lang Son branch this time were Chinese in Annan, in order to let them control the Annan army in the future. At the same time, they also established a small school near the branch campus to educate children from poor families. They also opened schools in some large cities. Li Zhenhua also wanted to pay close attention to education and cultivate a new generation of educated people. Li Zhenhua doesn¡¯t charge all the fees for schooling. He charges you charity money. If you can¡¯t afford it, I won¡¯t. Anyway, he tries to recruit as many students as possible, and the subjects of those students¡¯ studies are not only Chinese but also Chinese. To study mathematics, military, etc. The military academies are now divided into the cultural, infantry, artillery, communications, reconnaissance and special forces departments. Most of the teachers are former soldiers of the army, but some people are also recruited from society. The army in Fangcheng expanded the original regiment into a division with three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, and a logistics regiment. The strength is now insufficient and they are just putting up a shelf, but there are experienced soldiers and newly graduated non-commissioned officers, and many newly promoted officers. Most are battle-tested veterans. When it comes to soldiers, there is nothing specific about it. We have a lot of workers. Once something happens, we can immediately let them join the army. Anyway, in addition to normal work, there are also two days of military training every ten days. The division commander is Liu Yongqiang as the deputy division commander, and Wei Xiaohu is the chief of staff Wang Yonggang. Li Zhenhua said to the three people: "In the future, you are not allowed to rush forward like soldiers when encountering situations. You must learn to use people, you must learn to use your brain, you cannot just be a soldier, you must learn to be a leader." At first, the three people did not agree, but Li Zhenhua told Li Zhenhua to be ruthless. After giving them a severe scolding, the three men promised to obey the orders and then let them go. The name of the troops in Annan is still called "Annan Jiu". The advantage of garrisoning troops in Annan is that they can get close to the battle, that is, they can train their soldiers through guerrilla warfare. It is not enough to just train the troops on the playground. They must be in battle. Only in this way can we truly grow up. But now Li Zhenhua doesn¡¯t agree with Wildcat calling that name anymore, so he changed it to Ye Zilong. The army is basically two divisions now. As for the navy, it now has its own warships. Next is to train its own navy. Johnson recruited some retired naval officers and soldiers from the United States, plus the captured French navy. After a long period of education, they have accepted that they have The fact that they were defeated agreed that they were responsible for training the Chinese navy. If they really wanted to join the Chinese navy, then they could work in cement factories or coal mines. It's hard to say if you don't obey me, why don't you go and support yourself? Why don't you go and find such a good thing while working for nothing without getting paid? Now there is a cruiser out to escort. Now the two warships at home are training every day. Other navies go to school first and then go to the ship. Now Li Zhenhua's navy goes to the ship first and then go to school. They start with the simplest things, including sails and cables. , engine, navigation, artillery, aiming, support, etc. The Naval School has also been established. Although there are not many students, they are the best ones selected from many people. The original Naval School required three to four years of study, but now it has been changed to intensive teaching in a few months before going on board the ship Those students study very hard. They work overtime every day and study for more than ten hours each. Even in their dreams, they are studying. Li Zhenhua said to them that you will shoulder the responsibility for the prosperity of this nation. The navy is an important armed force that defends the country and is a necessary weapon for going to the ocean. The original bullet factory has now been expanded into an arsenal. With the addition of a batch of new machines, they are now only producing mortars and grenades. They are extremely busy every day, producing large quantities of weapons and ammunition and transporting them to Annan. At the same time, it also equipped Qing armies in various places. The profits from this arms were very considerable. Two more customers were added: one was the governor of Huguang, Zhang Zhidong, and the other was the governor of Liangjiang, Liu Kunyi. All the shipbuilding equipment is now in place, and production workshops are being built for them. Huge production workshops and warehouses are being built. Those technicians have already started their work. They are You Xuushi, Qiao Delu, Huang Jianxin, Gao Qiang, Xie Zuantai, Zhan Tianyou, Ding Jixian, and Americans David Smith, John Hollandon and others. Li Zhenhua reassigned the work to several of them: Huang Jianxin is the director and chief engineer of the arsenal, Gao Qiang is the deputy director, and Ding Jixian is the chief engineer. Their next step is to imitate the French 75 rapid-fire cannon and the German Krupp 10 The other five infantry cannons are to solve the problem of black smoke after the black powder is fired. The third is the problem of armor-piercing projectiles. Youxue Shi became the director of the shipyard. Joe Drew, David Smith and John Hollandon were both the chief engineers of the shipyard. Joe Drew and David Smith were responsible for the design of surface ships. A new type of warship was to be designed. John Hollandton was responsible for the underwater part The task is to design a new torpedo. The original torpedo is slow and has low explosive power and cannot pose a great threat to warships. A new torpedo is required to make it fast, have a long range and have strong explosive power. Xie Zuantai is the director and chief engineer of the flight factory and is responsible for the design and manufacturing of airships. Han Zhichao came from the arsenal to cooperate with him and served as the deputy director of his airship manufacturing factory. Zhan Tianyou serves as the general manager of the railway construction company and is responsible for the design of the railway from Fangcheng to Nanning and its subsequent construction. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thank you all for this. Text Chapter 39 Picric Acid Explosive Chapter 39: Picric and Sour Li Zhenhua¡¯s progress was too fast some time ago and now he wants to handle his internal situation well. He decided to transfer to various departments. First, we came to the arsenal. Huang Jianxin accompanied Li Zhenhua to see various places. Experiments are being carried out every day in the laboratory. Li Zhenhua¡¯s suggestion was good, which was to use the yellow pigment trinitrophenol to make picric acid. This has basically been solved now. Black smoke problem during launch. Li Zhenhua asked to see the actual explosion effect, so a group of people came to the shooting range. This time, they used 105 cannons. Two targets were erected far away. Several artillerymen were operating the cannons. They quickly prepared and reported to the visiting leaders. They asked for instructions to fire. Huang Jianxin looked at Li Zhenhua and Li Zhenhua nodded. Huang Jianxin immediately ordered the test firing to begin. The artillery commander in the distance began to give orders: "One shot of high-explosive bomb." "Load the high-explosive bomb." "Let it go!" The cannon barrel suddenly sat back and a loud bang emerged from the muzzle. A puff of white smoke soon became invisible. The target in the distance was destroyed by the explosion, and a fire broke out near the explosion point. The commander ordered again: "One round of armor-piercing bullets." "Load the armor-piercing bullets." "Let it go!" I saw the barrel sitting back again, a burst of white smoke coming out of the muzzle, and a "boom" explosion behind the target. Soon there was a fire behind him, and the accuracy of the shooting was very good. Li Zhenhua took the lead in applauding, and the people around him also applauded. Li Zhenhua mounted a horse and ran towards the target in the distance, followed by several people. When he arrived at the target, Li Zhenhua dismounted and walked towards the target steel plate. The fragments of the bomb flew more than twenty meters, and the effect was three times better than the original. The fire at the center of the explosion was so hot that people couldn't move forward. Looking towards the impact point of the armor-piercing bullet, I saw that the 40mm steel plate had been punched with a crater, and a fire was burning near the explosion point of the steel plate. The fire was so intense that the temperature was so high that people could not move forward. Li Zhenhua smiled. What I want now is this effect. Li Zhenhua's eyes seemed to have the burning fire on the Japanese warship. Seeing Li Zhenhua's cold eyes, his subordinates were all stunned, wondering who their boss wanted to have sex with. Huang Jianxin stepped forward and said to Li Zhenhua: "Now the dense black smoke during launch has turned into light white smoke. The high temperature generated by the explosion ignited a fire at the impact point, and the temperature reached two to three thousand degrees. If such a shell landed on a warship, the steel plates would be deformed by the fire. At least if some of our warships were hit by it, the key is that our armor-piercing projectiles are now too sensitive to picric acid. After the anti-aircraft gun was ejected from the barrel, it exploded as soon as it touched an object." After hearing Huang Jianxin's words, Li Zhenhua slowly said: "It doesn't matter, let's take our time and we will definitely solve the problem. But now this technology must be kept under the strictest confidentiality." Let anyone know." Li Zhenhua knew that future armor-piercing bullets would not be made of picric acid but of much more stable "". This would not stop him from conducting experiments in this area when he returns. Huang Jianxin immediately stood at attention and said to Li Zhenhua: "Yes! I promise not to leak it out." "Is this the gift for Beiyang?" "Yes." "That's good." What Li Zhenhua said in his heart, if that Li Zhongtang saw this It¡¯s ridiculous to laugh at the artillery shells. His Beiyang Navy is still using the original old-fashioned black powder shells. After firing a round, I had to stop for a long time and wait for the black smoke to dissipate before I could take aim again. My gift was "heavy" enough. It depends on his answer. Li Zhenhua came to the shipyard director You Xueshi to greet him. They first went to the construction site by the sea to see the workers building a factory for the equipment. The project was progressing very quickly. A large gantry crane had been erected. The warehouse was almost completed. We can start the shipbuilding process soon. Li Zhenhua said to You Xueshi: "We must pay attention to the safety of the workers. We must also ensure that everyone can eat well and not make the workers suffer too much. We must care for them from all aspects." "Boss, please don't worry about me." We must pay more attention to the workers and let them contribute more to the construction of our shipbuilding industry.¡± In the distance, a semi-finished cargo ship from the United States was docked there and some workers were removing rust there. We are ready for the next step of construction. Factory director You Xueshi said: "The overall design has been completed. Please go to the design office to take a look. Our workers are about to start working. We will accumulate experience by building cargo ships, and then we can start building warships." "It's time to go to work." "Let's go to our design office. I'll see what good stuff our technical talents have developed for us." We arrived at the design office.In the planning department, Joe Delu, David Smith and John Hollandon were busy working and did not come out at all. Some people thought that Li Zhenhua was going to be unhappy, but Li Zhenhua took the initiative to visit them. This made the entourage a little confused and entered David Smith's room. Smith stood up and said: "I'm sorry to ask you to come see me. I have a problem here that I can't solve, so I can't care about anything." Li Zhenhua first looked around his room and only saw his room. Various information is placed everywhere, including the latest warship information from various countries, and there are many photos. All of them are of warships, including old-fashioned wooden-hulled cruisers and new-style battleships. It seems that he got into the warship. "What problem is troubling you?" Smith handed his design drawings to Li Zhenhua. Smith would not have shown them to others because they didn't understand. But this young boss is not an ordinary person. He has many problems. If he brought it up, it would hit the nail on the head. Many problems were solved with his help. So as soon as Smith saw Li Zhenhua coming, he hurriedly handed over the drawings. That is a smaller version of the "Zhenyuan", a cruiser. According to Li Zhenhua's requirements: fast speed, good protection, strong firepower, and a fast rate of fire. At that time, according to China's national conditions, it was not easy to solve these problems. Foreign countries had the best weapons, but they would not sell them first. They would keep them for themselves. Especially the British were the most despicable. They exported warships without their royal family. The navy's armor cannot break through their Royal Navy's armor, which is lower than their warships. But with Li Zhenhua's request and help, they designed according to Li Zhenhua's request and it was much faster. But their current problem is the Mao Dun problem between artillery fire and speed. The warship is so big, but the artillery fire is powerful. As the tonnage goes up, the speed decreases. On the contrary, artillery fire Once the speed is weakened, you can go up. At the same time, the armor and speed are also a pair of shields. Li Zhenhua took a look at the four single-mounted turrets on their warship design, which occupied a large space on the warship. They were arranged on the central axis. Li Zhenhua knew that modern warship turrets use piggy-back type, which is on the lower turret. If you put a turret further back, you can save part of the weight of the armor, but it's not possible now and you can't let them appear too early. Therefore, Li Zhenhua said to them: "I would like to make a suggestion. Remove the cannons from the two turrets and place them in the two turrets at the front and rear. To save the space, you can design a turret from the middle. In this way, this warship will only have three turrets, but With six main guns." He drew his thoughts on the paper with a pen. Smith immediately shouted: "Genius, you are really a genius. This design is really great. If you were a warship designer, it would be world-class. "The greatest designer in the world." Smith ignored Li Zhenhua and started to calculate again. Li Zhenhua smiled and said he was a ship designer. He just knew in advance that he didn't take any medicine and just went out. Text Chapter 40 Li Zhongtang¡¯s Troubles Chapter 40 Li Zhongtang¡¯s Troubles He came to John Hollandon¡¯s room again. This foreigner was also busy with the torpedo he designed. It has begun to take shape. According to him, the speed of this torpedo has reached 35 knots and the range can be reached. Two kilometers away, Li Zhenhua said to him happily: "Then I should really congratulate you when you can try it." "It will be soon." Li Zhenhua also wanted to go to Xie Zuantai's place to take a look, but someone came to report that the ship to Tianjin After returning, Beiyang sent people over to ask Li Zhenhua to go over there and take a look. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to give up the idea of ??going to Xie Zuantai's place and told Huang Jianxin that he would care about and take good care of these technicians, and then went to meet with the people from Beiyang. When I got outside, I saw only a few people waiting there. A few unfamiliar people were obviously not from here. As soon as they saw Li Zhenhua coming out, they immediately knelt down on one leg and saluted Li Zhenhua: "I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Li." Jian hurriedly said: "Don't kneel down. People here never have to kneel down." Li Zhenhua looked at the man standing among them. This man was not tall, but his eyes were very energetic. He saw him moving forward. He reported to Li Zhenhua with a Cantonese accent and said: "Deng Shichang, the former commander of the Zhiyuan Navy of the Beiyang Navy, Li Zhongtang and Ding Jun sent me here to follow Mr. Li's instructions. This is a craftsman who makes underwater machines named Luo Shijun. This is Mr. Yang Yuling, the general manager of our Beiyang Tianjin Machinery Bureau. " Li Zhenhua's eyes lit up when he heard Deng Shichang's introduction. This man is the soul of our navy. He is also the spiritual pillar of our navy. Li Zhenhua immediately reached out and held his other hand. He hugged the other two people with one hand and said to him: "Master Deng, you are here. Brother, I am eager to see you through." He hurriedly led the three of them towards his office. This made the newcomers very happy to hear our names. They didn't understand whether this person had a mental problem. But it was such a person who defeated the French army, outsmarted the coast defense, and easily captured Hanoi, which greatly enhanced the prestige of the Chinese people. This made the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy in the far north admire him very much and wished they could not see him. When they came to Fangcheng and returned to Beijing from Xiaoshanzi, they said that Xiaoshanzi took a merchant ship on the sea and returned to Beijing leisurely. There were no storms on the way, and he was quite free. The emperor had already known about this errand when it came. Li Zhenhua would have this attitude, but even though Li Zhenhua did not accept the order, Li Zhenhua still accepted the gifts and money. The job was considered half completed. Besides, isn't someone busy? He had to go out of Guangxi. The emperor arranged another job for him that could go out of Guangxi. Didn¡¯t you just accept the order? Thinking about it in this way, things can be considered to be done well. Plus, with some photos obtained from Li Zhenhua, I believe that the emperor and Lafayette will not embarrass themselves. Thinking of this, Xiao Shanzi became happy again and hummed a piece of "Erhuang": "I am watching the mountain scenery from the city tower and the chaos outside the city" Sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on the sea. But he always felt that everything on Li Zhenhua's ship was good except for the flag, which was a bit nondescript. The dragon on the Qing Dynasty's flag was not like this. The dragon on the dragon robe worn by the emperor was a dragon, but the dragon on their flag was showing its teeth and claws. A flying dragon. Xiao Shanzi also saw a Japanese warship on the sea. The cannon was very big. The warship ran much faster. Just the big waves coming over made Xiao Shanzi uncomfortable for a long time and almost vomited. Those soldiers were all While scolding those Japanese, a young sailor asked Xiao Shanzi to tell the emperor to treat these Japanese well. These Japanese are so bad. They just bully our coastal fishermen. Xiao Shanzi said in his heart that the emperor is not someone like me who can meet him casually. He didn't say it out loud, but he told the sailors that he would tell the emperor that Xiao Shanzi could understand the sailors' hatred of the Japanese. No wonder Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang were bent on dealing with them. When passing Weihai, a ship from the Beiyang Navy came to inspect the ship. The Beiyang Navy had never seen such a flag before, and everyone came to inspect the sailors. Just as the sailors were about to board the ship, Xiao Shanzi's entourage immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, how dare you be rude here." At this time Xiao Shanzi spoke: "You must remember that this is why our Qing Dynasty ships cannot see the dragon on it? Don't embarrass them when they pass by from now on. You must know that they are much better at fighting foreigners than you are. " Those soldiers naturally did not dare to say anything to him. Xiao Shanzi asked again: "Is your Master Zhongtang in Weihai?" Naturally, the sailors did not know the whereabouts of Master Zhongtang, but a naval officer said: "Master Zhongtang has been there recently? It's not in Weihai." "Why?" Xiao Shanzi asked. "Mr. Zhongtang should be in Tianjin at this time. Because our Beiyang Navy adopted the garrison regulations of half a year in Lushun and half a year in Weihai, there is no Shangguan in Weihai now." "Thank you, then I will not go to Weihai.I'll go directly to Tianjin. "The fleet started to move towards Tianjin again. Entering the Bohai Sea was like entering your own backyard. Xiao Shanzi was more energetic, but even so, it still took more than a day to arrive in Tianjin. "A person in the back hall of the Beiyang Navy Yamen on the edge of the Haihe River in Tianjin The old man was standing there. He was seventy years old, but he was very energetic, but there was a sad look on his eyebrows. He stood in front of the window and looked outside. His slightly thin body seemed to be unable to support him. Li Hongzhang, also known as Shaoquan, was the backbone of the Qing Dynasty. He was a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace, the prince's tutor, the prime minister's co-minister of foreign affairs, the co-minister of the naval yamen, the governor-general of military affairs and the minister of Beiyang commerce. The telegram came asking for an increase in the budget for the navy to purchase warships, replace rapid guns, increase artillery shells and training, etc. The budget totaled two million taels. Li Hongzhang himself knew clearly the strength of his fleet. The Beiyang Navy has basically not increased its budget for a long time. The eight major warships crossing Beiyang have long been in disrepair. The key is the neighbor to the east. In recent years, they have been frantically expanding their navy and preparing for war. They have imported a large number of warships. At the same time, they themselves are also stepping up their efforts to build warships. Their first imaginary enemy is themselves. The Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Navy. Since Japan's Meiji Restoration, their military expenditures have increased year by year and now have reached more than 40% of the total fiscal expenditure. The total tonnage of the Japanese Navy is now the same as that of the Beiyang Navy. Continue to buy new warships. Their warships have fast sailing speeds and fast artillery fire rates. Even the charges of the new warships are advanced. The "Shimose" can cause a fire after the explosion. There is no smoke after the explosion. It is different from the black color of the Beiyang Navy. A large amount of black smoke lingers for a long time. You have to wait until the black smoke dissipates before the next aiming shot can be carried out. In addition, the artillery fire rate of the Beiyang Navy is slow, like the "Zhenyuan" 305mm cannon, which takes three minutes to fire once. The Japanese can fire two to three artillery shells in one minute. Faced with Ding Ruchang's report, Li Hongzhang could only shake his head and sigh. He knew very well the situation between China and Japan. Japan has regarded China as its imaginary enemy in recent years. He has known it for a long time, but now the imperial court cannot even guarantee normal training funds. How can there be funds for the renewal of warships? Especially if Master Weng, who has an old grudge with Li Zhenhua, is killed there. It would kill the Beiyang Navy. Text Chapter 41 Testing new artillery shells Chapter 41 Experimenting with new artillery shells (There is another chapter today due to the holidays, but it will be later) Thirty years ago, because Weng Tonghe¡¯s ancestors were lost at the hands of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, as Zeng Guofan¡¯s staff, gave the court a "Shen Weng Tongshu" "Master Weng's brother died in Ningxia. As Master Weng, he did not hold his brother responsible for the defeat of the city, but he vented his anger on Li Hongzhang. However, at this time, Li Hongzhang represented the entire Master Weng, who was in the interests of the Qing Dynasty, just wanted to restrict Li Hongzhang at every turn and prevent him from making contributions to achieve his own goal. Li Hongzhang gave the Empress Dowager a report about his misfortunes and asked for money from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager just said "hand it over to the Ministry for discussion" and dismissed Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang had no choice but to borrow money here and there to help Ding Ruchang solve the military problem. At this moment, what he was thinking about was that he heard that a copycat militia team in the south actually defeated the French army with advanced weapons. He was shocked. If ordinary people can defeat the French army, what are we regular troops doing? He thought this was nothing more than the border. What new tricks did the Qing army want to play? He didn't believe it at all because he was too clear about the strength of the Qing army's Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers. But soon Tang Jiong reported for the second time that the young man had easily defeated the coastal defense and outsmarted Hanoi. He also knew from the German intelligence that the French had suffered a loss in Annan, so he began to pay attention to the little-known Li Zhenhua. A teenage boy could actually defeat the French army in a row and use his troops to outsmart the coastal defenses, force the French army back and capture Hanoi without firing a shot. He lamented that he could not reach this level after many years of military service. That was because he was absolutely If you dare not leave the border easily to fight the French army, you will not achieve a great victory in coastal defense, nor can you force the French army to retreat, nor can you make the French army give up Hanoi. So he donated 100,000 taels of silver to Li Zhenhua with emotion and thought that if he had the opportunity to meet this young and promising young "general" in the future. He never expected that his one hundred thousand taels of silver would attract that young man and change his fate after the Sino-Japanese War. The Lord in the middle hall was worrying alone when a servant came in and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, there is an imperial envoy who went to Yunnan and came back from Yunnan to see you." Li Hongzhang was immediately confused. He was supposed to return to Beijing by dry road on his mission to Yunnan. How could he come back from Tianjin? He thought it could be He hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Welcome immediately." The door of the Beiyang Navy Yamen opened and Li Hongzhang came out to greet him personally. This made Xiao Shanzi feel a little flattered. He had been here before and could only go through the side door to see Mr. Zhongtang now. Master Zhongtang came out to welcome him. It seemed that he had really taken advantage of Master Li. After entering the second hall, Li Hongzhang and Xiao Shanzi sat down. Li Hongzhang said to Xiao Shanzi: "My father-in-law went to Yunnan on official business to work on the saddle and horse, but it was very hard." "How do you say it?" "We took the land route when we went there, but we took the sea route when we came back. Doesn't this save us from the fatigue of the pommel horse?" "Exactly." Li Hongzhang gently stroked his beard and said: "From Yunnan How could he have gone to sea?" "My lord, you don't know something." So Xiao Shanzi told Li Hongzhang the story of his trip. Li Hongzhang thought to himself that this is what happened. Xiao Shanzi took out the letter from Li Zhenhua to Li Hongzhang and handed it to Li Hongzhang with both hands. Li Hongzhang took it and read it eagerly. The letter mentioned a few things. The first was to send a ship of 400 tons of rice to the Beiyang Navy. Since most of the navy officers are Fujianese and like to eat rice, it can be regarded as a donation of some money to him. The second was to give him the issue of artillery shells. He sent dozens of samples and told them the formula, etc., and explained that what he was doing was not yet mature enough and was being improved upon. Or when Beiyang had done it, they could conduct technical exchanges with each other. The third one is about the fact that a large number of Japanese spies were operating near Weihai and Lushun, the bases of the Beiyang Navy. This was discovered by our own intelligence personnel, and we asked Mr. Zhongtang to immediately start clearing it up so that we would not get new artillery shells and let the Japanese know about it. The above is for Beiyang, but Li Zhenhua also made two requests to Li Hongzhang, asking Li Zhongtang to help solve the problem: First, he and Mr. Zhongtang want the underwater machine ship originally produced by Tianjin Machinery Factory and the craftsman who made it at that time. It was Li Zhongtang who asked for a commander, but he named Deng Shichang and some soldiers from various departments of the navy to help train his sailors. Li Hongzhang didn¡¯t say anything after reading the letter. He just asked his servants to arrange a banquet for Eunuch Ye. At the banquet, Li Hongzhang drank two drinks and said that he had not been feeling well recently, so he left the banquet and asked his staff Zhang Peilun to accompany him to continue. Zhang Peilun turned out to be the actual person in charge of the Fujian Navy. Due to various reasons, the Battle of Mawei failed. Zhang Peilun became the Qingliu people to attack.He couldn't say that the failure was due to the imperial court's refusal to fight, so he didn't say anything. He took all the responsibilities on one person and then sent them to the army. Since Li Hongzhang knew the whole story of this matter and the current situation of the Qing government at that time, he did his best. He saved Zhang Peilun and later married his youngest daughter Li Juou to him. From then on, Zhang Peilun entered Li Hongzhang's shogunate again. Li Hongzhang came down from the table. He was not feeling unwell. He became anxious as soon as he saw Li Zhenhua's letter. But people like them pay attention to keeping their emotions and anger hidden. Immediately issue orders: first, let Ding Ruchang immediately arrange capable personnel in Weihai and Lushun to investigate Japanese spies and eliminate the Japanese spy network while strengthening confidentiality work; second, order the Beiyang Navy warships docked in Haikou, Tianjin to prepare for his arrival. The warships in the Haihe River brought those shells into the Bohai Sea for test firing. After the order was issued, Li Hongzhang boarded the warship "Jingyuan" and sailed out of the Haihe River into the Bohai Sea. The Beiyang Navy had already made all preparations. A small steamer had already dragged a target boat out to sea. The warship chased after him. The "Jingyuan" ship management brought Lin Yongsheng to ask Li Hongzhang for training subjects. Li Hongzhang said to him: "Take a look at these shells first." Lin Yongsheng looked at the shells carefully. He felt that the shells were a little different from the usual ones. They had the same caliber. The 50's can be used on your own naval guns, but the manufacturing process seems to be different from the domestic ones and the imported ones, so he told Li Hongzhang his doubts. Li Hongzhang said to him: "Try it first and see how it works." Beiyang In the Navy, Lin Yongsheng was a good leader. He led the officers and soldiers on his warships and had strong cooperative combat capabilities. The artillery fire was also very accurate. After some preparations, Lin Yongsheng gave the order to fire, and then the cannon roared and the cannon ejected and the cannon was chambered. The recoil made the warship shake for a moment and soon stabilized. Only some faint white smoke came out from the muzzle, which quickly dissipated. The telescopes of Li Hongzhang and Lin Yongsheng had been staring at the target ship in the distance. They saw a column of water rising there. The target ship was near the loss of the bomb. It shook violently. After adjusting, Lin Yongsheng issued the order to fire again. There was another loud noise, and they could only see in the distance. The target ship was hit, and soon a big fire broke out on it. Lin Yongsheng immediately stopped firing and ordered the small steamer towing the target ship to put out the fire. Lose. Text Chapter 42 Reciprocity Chapter 42 Reciprocity Li Hongzhang and Lin Yongsheng looked at each other, and then Lin Yongsheng asked the soldiers to put on armor-piercing bullets. This time, the shell hit with one shot and penetrated into the hull before exploding. However, it caused a fire again. This time, the small steamer failed to extinguish it even after a lot of effort. The "Jingyuan" moved closer and several water dragons worked together. Put out the fire. Lin Yongsheng looked at Li Hongzhang and said: "Master Zhongtang, there is no smoke after the shells are fired, the explosion is huge, and it can also cause fires. The effect is so good, why don't we buy more?" Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay to buy it. But they want us to build it ourselves. Now they have told us all the technology." After that, he took out Li Zhenhua's letter. Lin Yongsheng took the letter and read it. After reading it, Lin Yongsheng said to Li Hongzhang: "My lord, this person is sincere to me, Beiyang. He treats us so well that we can't repay him." "Yes, then we have to follow his rules. There is no use in disembarking the ship, so just give it to him, but he wants to tell you what is going on." "My lord, no one can sail his French ships." "No, their ocean shipping has already begun. The first time we went to Nanyang, there was no one who had given us such great benefits. It seemed that we had no choice but to give Deng Shichang to him." Li Hongzhang paused and said, "Let Zhengqing come back from Lushun and prepare for him. I would rather not "Zhiyuan" if someone takes him away." "It's not a bad thing for Zhengqing to go back to his hometown in Guangdong." "Yongsheng, you don't know that the court has done a lot to my navy officers. You can't leave at will. If you want him to leave, you have to remove him from the navy." "But it's these people with shady names and unreasonable words who just defeated the French who have more advanced weapons than us. This can¡¯t help but be convincing,¡± Lin Yongsheng said. "Yes," Li Hongzhang continued, "I think the French are known as the first army on the European continent. They have been intimidating the European continent since Napoleon." By this time, the fire on the target ship had been extinguished. Lin Yongsheng said he wanted to go up to have a look. Li Hongzhang waved to him and Lin Yongsheng went to the target boat. After Li Hongzhang sent someone back, he sent a telegram to Deng Shichang, ordering him to return from Lushun and say that he had an important mission. Li Hongzhang personally took care of it. Soon Deng Shichang and Luo Shijun were ready to go to the south. However, Li Hongzhang wanted the people from his artillery bureau to go to Fangcheng to learn on the spot, so they arrived at Fangcheng together. When they arrived at the room, Li Zhenhua invited them to sit down and poured tea for them himself. He began to talk to them. The main content of their conversation was the current threatening situation of the Japanese Navy and the current situation of our Beiyang Navy. During this conversation, several of them even had a meal. They had all forgotten that it was not until someone came to ask how the food arrangements were for these people that Li Zhenhua remembered and said to the three of them: "I'm sorry for letting you sit here like this. I'll ask someone to serve the meal right away." The three people raised their hands to Li Zhenhua and said: "It's okay to talk to the adults and let me wait. It will clear things up." He said to the visitor: "I am the best prepared and want to have a hearty drink with the three of you." Li Zhenhua laughed and said: " I'm just happy to see you. Our living conditions here are relatively poor just now. Please forgive me, but please believe that we will get better in the future." During the banquet, none of the three people in Beiyang drank much, they just ate. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to stop drinking. After the meal they continued talking. Among the three of them, Deng Shichang spoke the most. He asked Li Zhenhua: "Master Li, you are not a soldier, but why are you so familiar with our navy?" After hearing this, Li Zhenhua was stunned. I am so familiar with Beiyang. How come the navy is so familiar with him? You can't say that I have traveled through time. He had no choice but to say: "We arrested a few Japanese spies here not long ago. According to the materials we searched their residences, most of the materials we found talked about the situation of our Beiyang Navy." This lie was still made up. Deng Shichang, who was very capable, immediately believed him and said: "Master Li, according to your prompts, Li Zhongtang and Ding Junmen conducted a large-scale search near our station and found many Japanese spies. They were familiar with the situation of our Beiyang Navy station." Even the location of the water well is drawn on the map. It is very clear that a certain officer has several concubines. If we go to war with the Japanese in the future, it will be very detrimental to us." "Let them know what they know before it is not too late to make amends. We can no longer let them know our things." At this time, Yang Yuling, who was sitting on the side, said: "Mr. Li, we have all seen the cannonballs you gave to Master Zhongtang. When we used the target ship to shoot, the effect was so good. There is no smoky situation on the ground, so the next aiming shot can be carried out immediately, and the penetration is also very good. ¡± "The damage to the personnel on the surface of the enemy warship is incomparable, it is a continuous explosion and fire." Deng Shichang also added. Several people talked for more than half the night, and all three of them understood what they were going to do in the future. Yang Yuling's task was to learn the specific production method of picric acid. After returning, let the Tianjin Machinery Bureau manufacture it. Deng Shichang stayed as the fleet commander of the Fangcheng Navy. He has now After being dismissed by the Beiyang Navy, he could be said to be an idler. Li Zhenhua asked him to go back to his hometown to visit his parents, wife, children and children before returning to take office. Seeing that Li Zhenhua cared so much about him, Deng Shichang declined, but Li Zhenhua said: "You will be busier in the future and may not have time to go back. It is better to go back now and see if you can bring your family members to live here." Deng Shichang is about to Said: "No, the navy has regulations that no one is allowed to bring their family members to the station. Otherwise, who would care about their own country if they just care about their own family." "No, Shichang, look at the British Royal Navy and their family members. How was it arranged? " Deng Shichang was speechless. He knew that family members of the British Royal Navy could join the army. Li Zhenhua thought of a compromise and asked one of Deng Shichang's subordinates to lead a few people to Panyu to bring Deng Shichang's family members so that they could work and live together. "My lord," Deng Shichang said: "Shichang is deeply loved by your lord, but there is something that makes Shichang feel uncomfortable. Shichang is a straight-tempered man, so he said it straight away. Please don't take offense, sir." "Please tell me, sir." "I have been in Beiyang for many years. Knowing that the Japanese intend to launch a war of aggression against the Qing Dynasty, they regard our Beiyang Navy as their imaginary enemy. From now on, Japan will have to have a bloody battle with our Beiyang Navy. By doing so, I have lost the opportunity to fight the Japanese. " "Don't worry, Zhengqing. You will show off your talents in the battle against the Japanese." "That's great. I'd like to thank you in advance." Luo Shijun is just a jobless person. He lived on the few money left by his ancestors, but he built China's first submarine, but no one noticed his work, so it was put in a warehouse and never used. This time Li Zhenhua asked When Li Hongzhang asked for this thing, Li Hongzhang thought that Li Zhenhua was just here for fun, so he gave it to him without any heartache. This time, he towed it over on a merchant ship. Text Chapter 43 The New Commander of the Navy Chapter 43 The New Commander of the Navy Regarding this thing, Li Zhenhua said to Luo Shijun: "Tomorrow I will arrange a foreigner for you. You and he will continue to study this thing so that our underwater aircraft and ships can go into battle to fight the enemy. Okay. Let your people take a few people back to pick up your family members tomorrow." Luo Shijun immediately said: "Master Li, Shijun only built this ship for his hobby, knowing that he wanted to use it to fight the enemy. From now on, the army will devote all its energy to the design and manufacture of this ship." At this time, the three of them realized that the businessman's purpose was still to focus on the interests of the country, and that he was not just what he said. A businessman. Deng Shichang was very happy because he was not very comfortable in the Beiyang Navy. As the leader of the Fujian faction, Liu Buchan created a large number of factions in Beiyang, and all the people in Beiyang were mainly Fujianese. Deng Shichang's hometown is Guangdong, so he was also excluded. Within the scope, although Li Zhongtang and Ding Ruchang were very optimistic about him, he was known among the Beiyang officials for being good at leading troops, but because he was more outspoken, Liu Buchan didn't like him very much. This time, he heard that Li Zhenhua wanted him by name. Li Hongzhang was a little bit He was reluctant, but Liu Buchan was very happy, so he gave him to Li Zhenhua. Liu Buchan also agreed to the expulsion, so he followed the tide and removed him from the Beiyang Navy. Deng Shichang was very reluctant at first, but after meeting Li Zhenhua, he was glad that he had arrived in the south. Not to mention being allowed to board a large warship. It turned out that his warship was only 2,900 tons, and now he has become the fleet commander. His flagship is 4,400 tons, with fierce firepower and fast speed. He is not unhappy at all. In the conversations between several people, both Deng Shichang and Yang Yuling expressed their concern about the difficult situation of the Beiyang Navy. Because of Master Weng's "fatal loss", the court only gave the Beiyang Navy money to maintain every year and could not develop at all. Now that Mr. Li has The formula could not produce many shells. When they came out, the three of them looked worried. Li Zhenhua said: "I didn't think well. Then I will give the Beiyang Navy another one million taels of silver as support." Li Zhenhua's words shocked the three people. In one sentence, it was a million taels of silver. This person's handiwork was too big. But people couldn't help but admire Li Zhenhua's starting point. Just a picric sour formula cost more than a million. What's that? How much is the proposal to eliminate Japanese spies worth? . The next day, the three people each entered their own roles under Li Zhenhua's arrangement, especially the naval commander of Fangcheng, Deng Shichang. Accompanied by Li Zhenhua, he arrived on the ship. Li Zhenhua introduced to all the personnel: "This is Commander Deng Shichang of our Fangcheng Navy. "All the sailors raised their hands in salute to Deng Shichang. Deng Shichang first returned the salute and then immediately issued his first order: "Who is the barber on the warship?" A sailor stepped forward and said loudly: "I am reporting to the commander. "Bring me your razor and shave off this braid." The sailor was stunned and immediately went to get the tool. At the same time, a sailor ran to open the water. The two of them waited on Deng Shichang to shave his head. Deng Shichang had already seen this. Everyone is bald. As a naval commander, he must not leave this braid. He has studied in the UK for many years and he has long hated this braid in his heart. But everyone has their own problems and there is nothing they can do about it. But today I can finally get rid of this symbol of ignorance and backwardness. His first thing was to give people a refreshing feeling. Then he carefully looked at the several warships that would become his subordinates, and then asked the officers on the warships to report various data. A young officer reported to him: "The specific data of the Pearl River warship is: displacement of 4,500 tons, full load displacement of 5,100 tons, three reciprocating boilers for turbines, output power of 6,500 horsepower, armor part: front armor thickness is xxx, side armor is xxx , three main guns in front, two in back and one in center line, with a caliber of 286 mm, a rate of fire of three rounds per minute, 450 rounds of ammunition, and a sextant aiming method. The ten secondary guns have a caliber of 150 mm, each with 500 rounds of ammunition. The date is October 1887." The other two ships also reported to Deng Shichang respectively. Deng Shichang, a sailor who looked at the various costumes he wore, said to Li Zhenhua: "Please design a costume for our navy. If we wear it like this, it will be too shabby compared with the world's navies. They don't regard us as pirates." "Li Zhenhua took a look at his navy soldiers. Some were in American sailor uniforms, some were in French sailor uniforms, some were in Qing army uniforms, and some were in civilian uniforms. This was indeed not good-looking. So he said to Deng Shichang: "You are the commander of the navy. Everything is done here. You make the decision and let it be designed by you." Deng Shichang felt relieved. It seems that he will have to use all his abilities in the future because he has already delegated power to such a major matter.Now that he's out, this adult is really going to delegate power to him. Deng Shichang was unambiguous and immediately began to design his own naval uniform based on his own imagination. Some officers and sailors also helped with reference and soon the uniform style of the Fangcheng Navy came out. The next day Deng Shichang took the clothing style he designed to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua looked at it carefully and suggested that he make a few modifications. Then he said to Deng Shichang: "Okay, let's make it according to your design and let the best tailors make it for the soldiers." We have tailor-made our navy to be different from other countries as soon as we meet, so that others will not think of us as pirates when we go out." After saying this, everyone laughed together. Wang Xin organized some women and set up a clothing factory. He also imported a batch of hand-operated sewing machines from Guangzhou from a German trading house. Li Zhenhua saw them and immediately helped. They improved the sewing machine into a pedal type, which freed up one hand of the sewing woman and also sold it to the Germans as a patent. In the future, there will be a lot of tasks for military uniforms alone, and this factory has been fixed. The first batch of navy uniforms came out soon. It must be said that Deng Shichang's design is still good. In addition, Li Zhenhua's final modifications have made naval uniforms with international popular styles and Chinese characteristics appear. The upper body is a white shirt and the lower body is blue trousers. The officers have big-brimmed hats for the soldiers and the hats for the brimmed soldiers are also designed with two streamers on the back. There is also a place to wear military ranks on their shoulders. It is not there now, but it will definitely be there in the future. This is not Li Zhenhua's genius. This is because he plagiarized the navy uniform styles of later generations and also designed work clothes for them, that is, blue overalls. This has nothing in common with the original style of the Qing navy. The navy¡¯s flag design is also unique, with a red base and a white stripe with four blue stripes on top (this is also plagiarism). In the middle of the flag is a soaring oriental dragon. The white stripe on the left side of the flag says "Fangcheng Maritime Guard", which is consistent with the design of "Annan Rescue". The morale of the soldiers who put on the new military uniforms was even higher. They immediately started formal training. Deng Shichang had arranged the training plan for the soldiers based on the conditions of various countries and Beiyang. Text Chapter 44 Submarine Chapter 44 Submarine (There is another update today, please support me.) As a true naval officer, Deng Shichang saw the low quality of the naval personnel he wanted to lead. He immediately suggested to Li Zhenhua the current Tianjin Naval Academy Students are about to graduate again. There are dozens of people every year, but not many can actually go to the warship. Only a few people, most of them have gone ashore. If Li Zhenhua can talk to Li Zhongweitang, then Li Zhongtang can agree. . When Li Zhenhua heard this, he immediately remembered that the reason why these people couldn't board the warship was far from what Deng Shichang said. Their reasons were multi-faceted. First, there had been no new warships added in many years. Some people had graduated and there was no place to arrange them. Second, it was the deputy admiral. Liu Buchan could not tolerate those who were not from Fujian. Since there were few warships and many students, he could only choose the best. As a result, many students, even after several years of study, can only do other jobs instead of going to warships to become naval officers. So Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Okay! Just take advantage of Yang Yuling's return to Tianjin to contact Li Zhongtang's important people. In addition, he will also contact other naval schools such as those in Nanyang, Fujian and Guangdong to try to get more graduates this year. The problem can be solved by bringing over some of our naval officers. "Zheng Qing, your words have been of great help to me." Deng Shichang said goodbye to Li Zhenhua and led his fleet out of the military port toward the depths of the sea. It happened that Huang Jianxin and Yang Yuling also came to him and were about to go back. Li Zhenhua asked him with concern: "How is it? Have you mastered all the techniques?" Huang Jianxin said with a smile: "Master Yang is a professional. He is basically the same as him at first glance. He also gave us a good suggestion." Li Zhenhua: "What suggestion?" Huang Jianxin said: "This picric acid is extremely unsafe and prone to accidents. Mr. Yang suggested that we put a layer of paint on the inner wall of the shell to isolate it from the metal. It¡¯s much safer that way. It¡¯s safer when it¡¯s not stored in high temperatures or exposed to the sun.¡± Li Zhenhua immediately said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Thank you so much, Mr. Yang.¡± Yang Yuling said, ¡°I haven¡¯t said thank you to you yet, Mr. Li. You thanked me for coming. This really makes me feel ashamed." Li Zhenhua said: "Let's not say thank you. I will see Mr. Yang off tonight. You can prepare various samples for Mr. Yang and also provide various experimental data. Prepare a copy for him so that he can start working right away." After the two left, Li Zhenhua wrote a letter to Li Zhongtang and asked Wang Xin to prepare a banknote of one million taels for everyone in the evening. The people in charge of the unit came to see Yang Yuling off. At the farewell table, Yang Yuling raised her glass and said to Li Zhenhua and everyone: "Master Li, ladies and gentlemen, I have learned a lot in the past few days in Fangcheng. I have seen from you that our university Mr. Li and everyone admire the sincerity of the Beiyang Navy, so I will lend you this glass of water and wine to express my gratitude." After speaking, he drank it and wiped his eyes with his hand. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Mr. Yang said seriously that the Beiyang Navy guarding the capital's entrance will be the front line of defending the country. We can only provide some logistic services to the Beiyang Navy. If there is a war in the future, we will defend the city and protect the sea. The team will also fight with the Beiyang Navy." Everyone started to join in and the atmosphere slowly became warmer. The next day, Yang Yuling came to the pier and some of the people in charge of Fangcheng came to see off the luggage. Zhenhua handed Yang Yuling an envelope. Yang Yuling knew the weight of the envelope and said to Li Zhenhua: "I represent Mr. Zhongtang and the Beiyang Navy." Soldiers, thank you." Deng Shichang also gave him an envelope. Deng Shichang said: "Sir Yang, here are some photos of me here, please take them back to Li Zhongtang, Ding Junmen and the brothers of the navy." Luo Shijun gave them. His was a model of a submarine and he said: "Master Yang will tell Master Zhongtang when he goes back and he will definitely let him see the real thing." Huang Jianxin handed him a small wooden box and said to him: "This is a sample of all the ingredients. Please keep it, Mr. Yang, so that the Japanese spies don't know about it." Everyone else also gave him some gifts. Yang Yuling said goodbye to everyone and boarded the cargo ship. Everyone waved to him and the whistle blew. The cargo ship left the dock and sailed to the sea with the people of the city guarding the country sincerely. Li Zhenhua began to pay attention to the progress of underwater work on submarines again. Soon he had Luo Shijun's submarine appearance and his drawings, and John Hollandon and the two of them redesigned the submarine. The appearance is still of the water drop type, which can reduce the resistance of the water. A balanced rudder is added on both sides, and there is an oval entrance and exit in the middle. When fighting on the water, there is a 37mm rapid-fire cannon with 500 rounds of ammunition. The total length is approximately 52 meters and the width is 4 meters.The power is powered by a diesel engine and a battery. When working on the surface, the diesel engine is used to charge the battery at the same time. Under water, the power stored in the battery can only be used to move forward. According to Li Zhenhua's requirements, torpedoes are used to attack the enemy underwater and are installed in the front. There are two torpedo launchers behind each, and one can carry eight torpedoes. The submarine Luo Shijun originally built was just an idea. Although it was produced in the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, he could not get any help from others. Now Li Zhenhua uses the power of a shipyard to support him. He needs people, materials, and money. Since they had money, their progress was much faster. It only took more than twenty days for the first submarine to appear at the dock. After several trial voyages, they invited Li Zhenhua to visit and guide. Li Zhenhua first looked at the appearance and thought it was OK. Then he conducted a test with them. First, they sailed on the water using a diesel engine and reached fourteen knots. Under water, using the battery as power, the speed reached five knots. The dive time is two hours, and both the dive and the ascent are smooth at the same time. The torpedoes fired underwater still use old-fashioned torpedoes. Their range is only 800 meters, but when shooting at a fixed target of 500 meters, the torpedo misses the target and misses the target. Li Zhenhua knew that this was his first shooting. If it was a fixed target, it had already hit it because the warship was much larger than their target. But if it was a moving target, it would have to rely on multiple trainings in the future. The accuracy would be achieved multiple times. of live ammunition piled up. "However, the current torpedoes are not effective, are slow and are affected by water flow, and the power of the big explosion is not satisfactory, so improvements must be made. He made this request to Luo Shijun and John Hollandon for further research. After coming back, Li Zhenhua celebrated well with them and made some suggestions to them. The dive time should be longer and the endurance should be extended. The key point is the communication problem. Each boat needs to be in contact because now The navies of various countries in the world have not paid much attention to submarines. It is best to sail across the ocean. Li Zhenhua knew that Germany's wolf pack tactics would cause the Allies to suffer a lot during World War II. So Li Zhenhua was going to win by surprise. When other countries understand and start to pay attention to submarines, we will already be in a leading position in the world. Text Chapter 45 Establishing an Intelligence Network Chapter 45 Establishing an Intelligence Network Li Zhenhua came from later generations and he is well aware of the importance of intelligence work. Now he has increased his attention to intelligence work. The bold and careful Zhao Hongyan is the primary candidate for this job. After several months of Through hard work, they have separated from Wang Chi Bank and Semicolon. Many people inside are still from the bank. Now Li Zhenhua has invested a lot in intelligence work. First of all, there is the issue of personnel. A group of people were selected from the army and transferred from Wang Xin's bank. Some were recruited from various places. The surrounding area is a key point. Now it is based on the country and facing Southeast Asia. For the Qing government, he does not want to touch it yet. Because it is destined to perish on its own. As long as it becomes stronger, everything else will be easy to talk about. But from now on, we need to pay the necessary attention to them. We can't just improvise, which will affect future work. So from now on, we have extended our hands to Beijing and Tianjin. First, some commercial institutions were established in Beijing and Tianjin. On the surface, they were conducting commercial operations. In fact, they were mainly engaged in intelligence work. What they could do immediately was to find a good place to set up shop in the catering industry, and then they could open their doors to the outside world. Carry out the recruitment and selection of personnel and point out the key points of the work to them. Although people in this society have a relatively low view of business, one advantage of businessmen is that their contacts are multi-faceted. It is different from other industries. Other industries are highly targeted. If you are a soldier, it is best to have more contact with soldiers. The officials you contact are also officials. And in this aspect, there are not many officials and soldiers in Beijing and Tianjin, so I have to use It's in the name of a businessman, and the money spent by a businessman is not conspicuous. It would not be the same for other people. But businessmen are different. They can contact anyone, and no one can live without businessmen and is in contact with businessmen. We opened some restaurants in the name of Xinghua Company and found a few suitable foreigners to be the bosses. Ordinary officials did not dare to cause trouble. Some experienced soldiers worked as security guards openly and secretly as action teams. The killer can perform some special tasks such as protection, hijacking, assassination, etc. It is not safe to find others, but it is reliable to own people. Li Zhenhua now just wants to make more money in this disordered world and strive for more space and interests for his country, nation and people to survive in the future. Whether it is political, economic, or military. Li Zhenhua decided to hack them hard. Zhao Hongyan reported the intelligence work situation to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua carefully looked at the distribution map of intelligence teams in various places. They are still novices and only have the desire to do a good job. They can only collect some superficial information now. This is far away. Far from enough. If you want to obtain more valuable intelligence, you need to invest more manpower, material and financial resources. Especially for high-level intelligence on the enemy, you must contact the other party's senior officials, or bribe and seize their weaknesses to threaten or It is to use money and beauty to corrupt their will. Anyway, as a spy, any method can be used. As the saying goes, "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white. The cat that can catch mice is a good cat." No matter your process, as long as you It's great if the goal is achieved. Li Zhenhua's request to Zhao Hongyan is mainly that the international side should first strengthen intelligence work on Japan, followed by Russia. These are the two countries that pose the greatest threat to us. Other countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the United States should also start to carry out this work. From now on, we must pay more attention to Japan and Russia. Pay more attention to their military as much as possible. First, deploy a group of elite soldiers and generals and use the business talents to get a foothold as soon as possible and then expand step by step. For the countries in Southeast Asia, including Annan, Cambodia, Siam, and Myanmar, Myanmar, Annam, and Siam were all vassal states of China in history. Now Siam, Annam, and Cambodia are French colonies, and Myanmar is British. A province in India. Thailand is a buffer between Britain and France. Both sides have power, but neither side can control the situation. These places are all Li Zhenhua's favorites, so they must be taken over. Maritime places such as the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia must also be considered, especially Singapore, which is a transportation artery between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Now it has been secretly sold to the British by the high-level officials there. Now it is a paradise for the British, but there is If there is a large number of Chinese, let it be re-established and must not be ceded to the British. Start now to establish the necessary intelligence agencies there. Then arm the local Chinese and overseas Chinese and slowly form guerrillas to drive away the British. A place to be yourself. Domestically, we should pay more attention to Beijing¡¯s trends. Other provincial capital cities south of the Yangtze River, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanning, Kunming, Chengdu, Changsha, and Wuhan, should also have their own outlets. It's just a matter of setting up some commercial branches. Don't wait for others to take action against you. It won't work if you don't know yet. We also need to pay great attention to important places in the north, such as Weihai, Lushun, Tianjin, Harbin, Urumqi, and some places in Mongolia. These are the important places where we must pay attention when the Japanese and Russian troops invade us in the future. Intelligence work mainly consists of several parts collecting intelligence, analyzing it, studying it and transmitting it. In addition, there are operational issues. If it is to eliminate or protect a certain target, it must be executed after receiving the task. Personnel cannot be sent from the headquarters to solve it. A major feature of intelligence work is that timeliness is also a problem in future communications. If something in the North is not transmitted until one or two months, it will be a mistake. If you use open commercial telegrams, you need to have special passwords and secret words, and others will know it. They don't understand what it means. Fortunately, now people's telegrams are all clear codes. For these applications, they can simply add or subtract codes or add the year, month and day, but the research on cipher machines is about to begin. Although Li Zhenhua knows something about modern intelligence work, he is not very clear about how it works. He only knows some superficial things, such as summarizing, analyzing, judging and taking necessary actions based on the intelligence after receiving it. Now we can only rely on our own people to further explore all this. Gather good experience and train all personnel so that excellent spies can lead ordinary personnel. Now they can only be bald men who become monks and make do with materials. However, with the graduation of their special school students, some professional talents have begun to go to work. This is destined that they can only be unknown heroes in the future. Text Chapter 46 The maiden voyage to Southeast Asia Chapter 46 The Maiden Voyage to Southeast Asia As an imperial envoy, Xiao Shanzi returned to Beijing. He first reported his experience to the chief manager Li Lianying. Li Lianying immediately reported to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. When Xiao Shanzi returned, the Queen Mother and the Emperor immediately summoned him. Xiao Shanzi, who felt that he had not completed his task, came in with an uneasy feeling. As soon as he entered the door of Yangxin Hall, he lay on the ground and kept kowtowing to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, saying that he had not completed his task. Li Zhenhua did not accept the order and said, "Excuse me." Come on, it can't be your fault that he didn't accept the order. Please tell the Ai family in detail the process of going there." Xiao Shanzi wiped his sweat and got up from the ground and began to report the entire business trip to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. I took out some photos taken in Fangcheng and described them to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The empress dowager's gloomy face slowly became happy. Xiao Shanzi continued: "Master Li, he just said that he is a businessman and has to travel to various places to do business. He cannot stay away from Guangxi. Therefore, he cannot accept the order and cannot be the general of Yunnan. But he is He kept all the rewards, but Master Li also said that he wanted to be the magistrate of Fangcheng. "The emperor sighed and said: "He can't just stay in Guangxi, but why doesn't he want to be a general and become a petty officer? Where is the little magistrate?" Xiao Shanzi said: "He said that the land he had in Fangcheng was rented from the magistrate of Fangcheng. If he became the magistrate, he wouldn't have to spend the rent money." The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "But. Is it true that he only cares about the money? Let¡¯s talk about it later. This person needs to be careful. He is in the army and the navy. Although he can¡¯t make it happen now, he doesn¡¯t know what will happen in the future. Then he asked: "What did Li Zhongtang say?" Xiaoshanzi replied: "Li Zhongtang said it would be a pity if this person is not used by the court." Upon hearing this, the two women knew very well that they should be used. It's too shameful that he gave him face but failed to give the royal family face. The fleet that went on a long voyage returned. In more than three months, the first fleet of Xinghua Company has returned. Along the way, they experienced strong winds and waves at sea and gained valuable navigation and business experience. The person who led the fleet out this time was originally from the Wang family and is now considered a member of the Xinghua Company. His surname was Chen and his given name was Hainan. He used to work in semicolons in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. He had heard some legends about Luzon, Nanyang, etc. He wasn't very clear about it, but based on these circumstances, he judged that taking these things out should be the items Nanyang needed. With these items, he didn't have to worry about losing money. So he volunteered to be the captain of this caravan. After consideration, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin agreed to his request and let him lead this first commercial voyage. Seeing that Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin had great trust in him, he repeatedly stated that he would do a good job in exploring the path this time. Li Zhenhua made it clear to him that making money this time was not the purpose, but mainly to help him find a way out in the future. How many people come back after going out? You can't let others suffer losses. As long as you come back safely, it will be a great achievement for you. After setting off from Fangcheng, the fleet first arrived in Guangzhou, where they loaded the prepared goods. Then the escorting warships and fleets all replenished what they needed on the road, and then set off. The first stop was Manila in the Philippines. From Guangzhou to Manila The distance is more than 700 nautical miles, which is four or five days' journey based on time. For a long time, no commercial ships have passed through this trade road. The main reason is that people here are afraid of pirates. Those pirates in the South China Sea make a living by robbing the waters of the South China Sea. Since the Qing government did not care to manage them, this area It has become a paradise for pirates, and a large number of pirates have come here. There are both Chinese and foreigners, Easterners and Westerners. However, because there are more and more pirates here, this place has become a paradise for pirates. A piece of paradise (water) and the merchant ships are slowly disappearing, and no one is willing to let themselves run into those pirates. Along the way, this merchant fleet also encountered pirates, and there were many pirates. But the pirates saw a mighty warship escorting the fleet. A dragon flag was hung on the tall mast of the ship, and the huge gun muzzles pointed at it. They didn't dare to move, but they also shocked the people in the merchant fleet. Fortunately, they had the navy's warships to escort them. If it weren't for them, it would have been hard to say. The pirates were also very pitiful. Their clothes were messy and everyone was very tanned. When they saw the clothes of the soldiers on the warship, they thought they were their peers because Fangcheng The navy personnel are all local, Eastern, and Western. Their costumes are indeed too bad, and they are no different from the various costumes of the pirates. The difference is that their clothes are all clean and everyone, whether they are Easterners or Westerners, has a kind of arrogance. That is the biggest difference from the pirates. Because the merchant fleet here isDue to their rampage, no merchant ships dared to sail here, and they did not dare to touch the merchant ships protected by warships, so it was difficult for them to get any good work, so they had to attack some fishermen. Those fishermen did not have much money, so from them It can be seen in the tattered clothes. The pirates were surprised that the other party could have such a good warship, and they were jealous because they had a large number of merchant ships. They wished they had such a warship so that they could roam the South China Sea without hindrance. They just followed them enviously for a while, and then they truly realized that these people were not pirates but soldiers. They could tell from their strict military qualities. They were secretly glad that they had not taken action rashly, otherwise their lives would have been lost. It may not be safe and they can only sneak away quietly. The merchant fleet arrived in Manila smoothly. As soon as they docked, they were welcomed by the local people, especially the overseas Chinese. They left their homeland many years ago and were completely isolated from the information about their homeland. Now they see the same people as themselves. Many people who speak the same language also hear the voices of their fellow countrymen. They rushed to tell each other. Many people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly in front of the dragon flag of the fleet. Their country had sent a merchant fleet again. After that, they could communicate with the motherland again. The local Chinese and overseas Chinese surrounded the dock. Chen Hainan and the others saw from a distance that there were tens of thousands of people. They talked enthusiastically with the people in the fleet, and many of them shed tears with excitement. Text Chapter 47 The maiden voyage to Southeast Asia (2) Chapter 47 The Maiden Voyage to Southeast Asia (2) Their enthusiasm moved the people in the merchant fleet. In the first two days, there was no way to trade with the locals. It was not until the third day that they started normal work. The Philippines is now under the rule of the Spanish. Due to the plummeting power of Spain in recent years, Spain is also relaxing its rule here, but another big country, the United States, is eyeing this place again. There are many Americans here now, and many of them have special missions. The goods planned to be shipped here were almost sold out very quickly. Chen Hainan held a banquet here to entertain and thank the people here. Most of the people attending the banquet were overseas Chinese who had settled in the local area. Most of them were businessmen. Now most people have become customers of Xinghua Company's merchant fleet. Chen Hainan raised his glass and said to everyone: "First of all, thank you for your support to us. We will come here often. Later, we will also open a passenger ship from Fangcheng here to facilitate everyone to visit relatives and do business." Chen Hainan's words received applause from everyone. After the banquet, the merchant fleet gave each of them some gifts, and the overseas Chinese also gave gifts in return to the guests who came from afar. The enthusiastic overseas Chinese businessmen enthusiastically told them what goods to take with them where they were going, and what people there liked about China. Some people also took the initiative to ask to be the pilots of the merchant fleet. The fleet set out from here and brought a lot of goods with them. goods. The Spanish governor in the Philippines heard that the Chinese fleet had arrived. He originally did not want to see these merchants, but he had already discovered the ambitions of the Americans. He knew that the Americans were going to be detrimental to Spain, so he wanted to use the Chinese to come. To attack the Americans, he asked his men to tell the Chinese merchant fleet that the governor wanted to see them. So Chen Hainan and his party went to the governor's house and gave the governor some gifts to express his gratitude. The governor expressed his appreciation for their business actions and talked with Chen Hainan. They said they were welcome to come here often for business and trade. Chen Hainan and they happily agreed to the governor's invitation. A few days later, the fleet set off from here again. Careful people found that there were already some people missing from the fleet. Those people were Zhao Hongyan's people. Their mission was to stay and establish their intelligence points in the Philippines and collect intelligence here. Their leader is called Yang Bin, a young man in his thirties. Among this group of dispatched people, he is one of the better intelligence officers. He has a clear mind, excellent personal military skills, and very strong organizational skills. It's very appropriate for him to be here. The fleet continued heading south for two days and arrived in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, where they were also warmly welcomed by the locals. After carrying out necessary commercial activities, the fleet headed east around Malaysia and entered Indonesia. After making some replenishments on the way, they arrived at Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, where they conducted some commercial transactions and left their own personnel behind. Then their fleet directly Heading towards Singapore. Singapore has always been regarded by Westerners as the Gibraltar of the East. As the most powerful maritime power in the world, Britain has now taken Singapore under its control. They will later make Singapore available through two treaties and transactions between the British and the Dutch. Those in high positions obtained a large amount of money and sold the country's interests to the British. As a trading port, they still welcome merchant fleets from China. At least they can have some customs revenue. At the same time, the people here are very welcoming to Chinese goods. The Qing government had a consul general here. The appointment of the consul general in Singapore was a major innovation of the Qing government. Hu Xuanze, an overseas Chinese from Singapore in Panyu County, helped with the famine in Shanxi and built an ancestral hall in his hometown to provide relief to the poor and help the poor with funerals. He was appointed by the Qing government in 1877 (the third year of Guangxu's reign). Consul General of Singapore. The main population here is Chinese merchant ships coming to their hometown, so they are naturally very welcome. When the merchant fleet docked at the dock, the people in the merchant fleet immediately felt that this place was different from other places. First of all, the Consul General here in Singapore, Hu Xuanze, led a large number of people to the dock to greet him in person. His Cantonese words made Chen Hainan They felt as if they were at home. Not only the consul himself, but also some ordinary people were communicating with the merchant navy in Cantonese. After traveling for such a long time, only here can I feel like I'm home. Just like modern people abroad, even a northerner listens to the very awkward southern dialect, but even so, they still feel that the relationship between people is much closer than with outsiders. Although Hu Xuanze is in a "land of alienation", he also has his own ceremonial guard, but it is relatively simple. But although it was simple, it also put his identity there. As soon as the old man saw the dragon flag flying high, he immediately knelt down and bowed down. He had not seen the dragon flag of his country for many years. He originally thought that he would never see it again in the future. But now the familiar dragon flag appeared in front of him again. When the people on the merchant ship came down, what did he do?Forgetting etiquette, he rushed towards those people and hugged them tightly. This moved the people in the merchant navy very much. Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia are the most important sovereign countries in the Strait of Malacca. According to Li Zhenhua's instructions, they left more agents here. This is the main waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, the Japanese called it the "lifeline." The British today also regard it as their own forbidden land. They do not allow others to interfere. But as Li Zhenhua, who came from later generations, he knows the importance of this place, so he also reached out to this place at the right time. It's our own. Why? He said nothing, just because there are many Chinese people here, it should be Chinese. Even if there are no Chinese people, he will not give up such a strategic and economic important place casually, otherwise he will be sorry for himself as a time traveler. Relatively speaking, the trading activities here last longer, and the crew members are willing to stay here longer because here people can speak in Cantonese to the people you think are suitable. The familiar local accent makes people get closer immediately. . The Merchant Marine has established a branch of its own in the downtown area here. The manager has been appointed in China. His name is Lu Yuanzheng. He is an agent who received short-term training. Among their companions, he is a leader in all aspects. They were all outstanding, so as soon as the merchant fleet was ready to come out, he was appointed as the head of intelligence in Singapore. His main task was to secretly organize underground guerrillas against the Malacca Strait area under the control of the British, and prepare to replace the local regime at the appropriate time. His own regime drove the British out. Text Chapter 48 A safe journey home Chapter 48: A Narrow Journey Home They immediately started looking for a house. They had strong financial strength. Two days later, they bought a house and established their own business base. They immediately recruited local staff and started working there immediately. Some local Chinese and overseas Chinese came to apply for jobs. With the support of local people, business quickly came to the door. At the same time, they also arranged their own secret stronghold, and naturally some weapons and other things were secretly transported in. The business of this branch is very wide, ranging from daily necessities to arms and other items. As long as you need it, the branch can handle it for you. But the main thing is that the large number of cheap Chinese goods attracted many merchants to come to buy, so their business quickly boomed. Since the fleet entered the port, that warship attracted the eyes of the British. They clearly knew that it was a French warship, the original cruiser "Dujuche Louis", but now there are two large Chinese characters on its bow. When "Yangtze River" saw the clothes of their sailors, the people of the British Royal Navy were shocked. They can only be called clothes. The sailors wore all kinds of clothes, which made them look down on the escort navy of these Chinese merchants. It is said that China's navy is "the best in Asia." Their naval division comes from the United Kingdom. They should not be like this, but they just appeared in front of the world, which made these British people very confused. Therefore, they did not regard the Chinese navy as Put it in your eyes. After a few days of busy work, they are back. Now they have to return directly from Malacca. Chen Hainan and Liu Hai, the captain of the escorting "Yangtze River", discussed together that the route directly back to China would be shorter, but because it was captured from the French If the warships leave directly now, they are afraid that the French navy south of Annan will cause trouble for them. Liu Hai said: "If you run into them, it's up to us. Don't worry about us. Just keep walking back and ignore us. We can guarantee your safety." "If we really run into them, I don't think they would dare to do anything." We bought this warship from the Annan people at a high price. If they dare to take action, it will cause international disputes. Although the Qing Dynasty is too weak, our Xinghua Company is not weak. If they are not afraid, then let it go. If they dare to touch us on land, our big boss will dare to take their Saigon." "I hope they don't dare to touch us. If they dare to touch us, then hundreds of our brothers here will not be vegetarians." "Okay, then let's set off. We must be careful on the road and do not do anything if we can. If we have to do something, then we will let them try our tricks." The whistle blew and the warship left the port first and went to guard outside the port. Then the two cargo ships also left the dock one after another. People waved their hands to see them off. They hoped that they could come here more often in the future. Watching his fleet set off, the silhouette of the fleet was getting smaller and smaller. Xiao Lu Yuanzheng lowered his raised hand. He could not salute his comrades and just kept swinging his arms. The fleet set off, and the British were relieved that nothing happened to these Chinese. That would be great. If something happened, it would definitely be a big deal. The fleet on the vast sea has been traveling north-northeast. The first day passed smoothly. On the morning of the second day, the lookout on the tall watchtower loudly reported: "Smoke is found in the northwest." "Continue to observe. "Three warships of unknown nationality were found in the northwest." At this time, the captain of the "Yangtze River" Liu Hai had also arrived on the bridge. He raised his telescope and looked into the distance, only to see three warships, one large, two small, and one in the distance. Coming here was a cruiser and two gunboats. Liu Hai immediately asked the communications crew to send a signal to the merchant ships to continue moving forward. Liu Hai ordered the warships to turn and meet them. "Twenty thousand yards." "Fifteen thousand yards." The lookout at the height kept reporting the opponent's distance. The American and French naval officers who were helping with the training were frightened when they saw the French ships getting closer. They said to Liu Hai: "Mr. Captain, they have three warships. If they can't do it, let's surrender. If we encounter this situation in the West, Surrender is normal." A sneer appeared on Liu Hai's face: "Gentlemen, you can go to a safe place on the warship and let us do the fighting ourselves." Then Liu Hai shouted again: "Battle alarm. ." The buzzer on the warship rang rapidly. The soldiers rushed to their posts quickly, took off the cannon jacket, and the shells entered the gun barrel. Several foreign officers had disapproving expressions on their faces. They walked obediently off the bridge and into safety. ¡°Ten thousand yards!¡± The lookout continued to report the location of the enemy warship. "Eight thousand yards!"When several French ships saw the oncoming Chinese warships flying the dragon flag, they thought they would flee if they threatened them three to one, or that the British who surrendered to them had already informed them of the intelligence in Singapore. The Chinese sailors were like beggars, and there were also some foreign sailors and officers on board. They took it for granted that such a warship would have no combat effectiveness. But what they didn't expect was that this medium-sized ship dared to fight one-on-three and They were the ones who rushed over first. They did not expect that the other party would be so bold and completely disregard their own life and death. The huge gun muzzle on their warship was slowly moving, and it was aimed at them. I believe that they were definitely not paying tribute to themselves. Although the French Navy has three warships, they are obviously unwilling to conflict with the Chinese Navy. At least they did not get orders from above, so they just passed by the Chinese Navy. When they were closest to the Chinese navy, they only saw the warships. That person is the captain of the other party. The other combatants are all at their posts. I saw him standing on the bridge with his head held high and his eyes not even glancing at the oncoming French ship. Although the French sailors did not see it, they could feel his contempt for everything. The French ship turned to the southeast, and the center ship turned to the northeast to catch up with its own fleet. The soldiers on the warship cheered. The French navy ran away in embarrassment in front of its majesty. Although it did not fire, China's new navy has announced to the world: We are fearless and will never block the Chinese like we did during the Mawei Sea Battle. Fighting at the door is out of the question. Text Chapter 49 Naval Cadet Officer Chapter 49 Naval trainee officers returned to Fangcheng. Li Zhenhua, Wang Xin and Deng Shichang came to personally greet the fleet returning from its maiden voyage. Chen Hainan and Liu Hai saluted immediately when they saw Li Zhenhua personally coming to pick them up. Li Zhenhua introduced to them his naval commander, Deng Shichang, Chen Hainan and Liu Hai immediately reported to them the experience of their trip to Southeast Asia. Li Zhenhua, Wang Xin and Deng Shichang listened carefully to their reports and then said to them: "This trip of yours deserves a good summary. From an economic point of view, you have gained good experience and laid a good foundation for the next trip." In terms of military affairs, our navy has gained valuable voyage experience through this voyage. All officers and soldiers have been tempered by the ocean. You have done well in the struggle against the enemy. When encountering the enemy, first of all, you must not be afraid. Secondly, you have learned to be reasonable, advantageous, and The weather has become cooler and the rainy season has passed. Li Zhenhua and Deng Shichang welcomed the student officers who had just graduated from Tianjin Naval Academy. After more than four years of study, these officers are professional naval personnel and can accurately issue various orders in English (at that time, all Chinese naval forces issued orders in English.) At the same time, they also passed through Beiyang Internships on various naval warships. This time, Li Hongzhang did not hesitate at all and directly issued an order to Yan Fu, asking him to send those graduates directly to Fangcheng. He also asked Yan Fu to recall the original graduates to solicit their personal opinions. If any of them are willing to go to Fangcheng, all of them will be released. Most of those students come from poor families. Children who have been poor since childhood have worked hard to get into the naval school. However, since there are no new warships, they can only transfer to work on land. Now I heard that there is such a person who can go to the warship. It was a good opportunity and they all heard about Li Zhenhua and his group's defeat of the French army, so they were all willing to go to Fangcheng. When Li Hongzhang saw that there were many graduates from several years ago, they all were sent to Fangcheng. This was enough. Less than two hundred people came. The person who led them here was an instructor from the Naval Academy. He was Sa Zhenbing and Li Zhenhua had known his name for a long time. They knew that he later was also a commander of the Beiyang Navy. Now he is a teacher at the Beiyang Naval Academy. At the same time, he is also A "returnee" is also very reputable when talking about the navy's business. I heard that there are many people from other naval schools who are willing to come to Fangcheng. When Li Zhenhua heard this, he was so happy that he hurriedly told Deng Shichang. Deng Shichang was also very happy. With these grassroots officers, it would be easier to have more soldiers. He only needs three. In just one month, the quality of all staff can be raised to a higher level. When the student officers arrived at Fangcheng and saw the warships, they were very happy. Looking at the sailors wearing new military uniforms, they felt that their decision was correct. Deng Shichang and Sa Zhenbing conducted a short-term training for them, and assigned them to various positions on the warship according to their specialties. The naval force itself is a high-tech branch, and such a group of mid-level officers who have received formal training joined the entire navy. The quality has been greatly improved. The consequences of this incident were something Li Zhenhua and Deng Shichang had never thought of. After more than ten days of training, Deng Shichang said to Li Zhenhua: "Our overall level has been greatly improved. The morale of all personnel is high and now it is comparable to other naval forces." Li Zhenhua knew that the Beiyang Navy at that time was the best in the world. They were at a first-class level. They lost in the Sino-Japanese War because the system of the Manchu and Qing government at that time was not good. If they could be the same as Japan, they would never win, or they would not dare to fight that war with us at all. Li Zhenhua said in his heart that when the time comes, he will give the arrogant neighbor a lesson and beat them until they can't find him. Zhang Xinghua recently reported their situation to Li Zhenhua. According to Li Zhenhua's original intention, they wanted to control the northern region of Annan. There are coal mines, iron ore and other resources. They must make full use of them. Moreover, there is no problem with the grain output here. They can produce it in a year. Three-crop rice Southeast Asia is the breadbasket of the world. Although the French have never given up their ambitions here, they have never given up since they took Hanoi into their own hands. They have always wanted to take back Hanoi and the northern region. According to Zhang Xinghua's dispatch The spies who went south to Annan reported that the French government had begun to send more troops to Annan again. After hearing the news, Li Zhenhua was ready to teach the French a lesson. Anyway, the French army's current control area is around Donghai. They can only defend the nearby areas and are unable to carry out any major military operations in northern Annan. If they increase their troops in Annan, their target will definitely be what we have already occupied. In the northern region, we must be prepared. Li Zhenhua's security team now has many former Black Flag Army soldiers. The famous anti-French general Liu Yongfu joined the Tiandihui in his early years and led the masses to cooperate with the Taiping Army to fight against the Qing government. His troops became the Black Flag Army flag with the Big Dipper on it. Later, after the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, There are only three hundred of his troops leftMany people retreated into Annam and later grew to more than 3,000 people. They defeated the French army many times and later captured Hanoi. He was named the "Admiral of the Third Prosecution" by King Annan and was ranked second in officialdom. After the Qing government signed a humiliating treaty with the French, Liu Yongfu was recalled to the motherland. The troops were reduced to 1,200 and later reduced to 300. Stationed on Nan'ao Island in Shantou, Guangdong. As a result, Liu Yongfu's troops were dispersed. Now Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Company is gradually growing, especially the children, who have a deep connection with the Black Flag Army. When the original Black Flag Army soldiers heard that Xinghua Company had contacted the French As soon as the man did it, they all joined the Xinghua security team. Li Zhenhua was very fond of these well-trained soldiers. They were all heroes who resisted foreign enemies. The older and disabled ones were allowed to work in factories, and the younger ones with combat experience were allowed to join the army. Li Zhenhua led them to Annan to continue attacking the French team and asked them to enter Annan by land and go directly to Zhang Xinghua to report to him. Before leaving, Li Zhenhua told Wang Xin that this trip to Southeast Asia was very effective. We will continue to use it. Now people are afraid to take this sea route. We must firmly hold this route in our own hands, seize the time and run more. If you earn more money, you will have more places to use it in the future. If that doesn't work, we'll have to rent a few more transport ships to try to make more money. Then when there are more people running, we'll open passenger routes. Text Chapter 50 Go to Annan again Chapter 50 Go to Annan again Wang Xin said to Li Zhenhua: "Don't worry about things at home when you go out. I'm here. You can rest assured that if anything happens, I can also find other people to discuss it. But you must be careful about those cannonballs after you go out. , Guns don¡¯t have eyes. If anything happens, don¡¯t just rush forward. You have to think that there are many things at home that I will rely on you in the future.¡± After a pause, she continued: ¡°I won¡¯t be at home without you.¡± I always feel uneasy. " "Well, I must be careful and you must pay attention to safety. Our current situation is good, and there must be someone who is red-eyed. They want to destroy all key places and have them strengthen their guard." "It's me. "We have all taken note of it." Li Zhenhua's explanation to Deng Shichang was: "Now that we have taken the first step, we will increase our escort efforts. Our navy is not good enough now. If we compare with the world's naval powers, we are very poor." Now we need to use the escort opportunity to train the navy more so that the officers and soldiers can gain more experience in maritime navigation. We can also consider sending out an additional warship." Deng Shichang said to Li Zhenhua: "Leave the navy affairs to me. Don¡¯t worry, I will let you see a navy team that is very different from the original one in three months.¡± Li Zhenhua is rest assured that Deng Shichang¡¯s ability to lead troops has already been demonstrated, and he is very knowledgeable about all departments of the navy. The naval officers and soldiers who are familiar with the strict requirements have indeed made great progress under his leadership. Now he has begun to add submarines to their training, and the research work on the second-level submarine is also in progress. Li Zhenhua had no other requirements for him but said to him that you should treat your soldiers as your own relatives. Li Zhenhua knew that Deng Shichang was very strict with his soldiers and often beat and scolded them. However, under the influence of Li Zhenhua's words and deeds, he had completely changed. He never beat or scolded the sailors. In his own words, it turned out that every day he seemed to be holding back something. His tone is now pleasant every day. He cares for the soldiers so much that he is not willing to punish them. Besides, he is not like that in the first place. Why not let the dull atmosphere of the Beiyang Navy ruin it. After listening to Deng Shichang's words, Li Zhenhua was very pleased. A soldier is also a human being. If you care about him, he will also care about you. In battle, he will fight against the enemy with all his heart and show the courage that every soldier should have. If you are not good to the soldiers, you have to be careful about him behind his back. Someone who is attacking you. Because the speed of submarines is too slow, they now drag the submarines out whenever they go to sea for training and conduct combined exercises. The two warships at home have now been greatly improved. What they lack now is the experience of long voyages. Deng Shichang decided to make the next voyage. I took the other two warships out and let the other one rest at home. First, I put them in new military uniforms and then went through other training tasks on the ship. That Sa Zhenbing and Li Zhenhua just let him continue to train talents for his navy. At first, Sa Zhenbing was a little confused and thought that if he was still an instructor, it would be better not to come. Li Zhenhua had an in-depth talk with Sa Zhenbing all night. He happily accepted Li Zhenhua's arrangement and became the principal of the Naval Academy. From then on, the Fangcheng Naval Academy really began to operate. A group of young people entered the naval academy. After arranging the work, Li Zhenhua sent someone to invite Xie Zuantai and asked him how the airship work is now? Xie Zuantai happily told Li Zhenhua the recent situation: With Li Zhenhua's strong support, the airships have been basically finalized. They can now be roughly divided into several categories. One is combat airships, which can be used to attack the enemy. The airships are already equipped. Two heavy machine guns and two 37 cannons have a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour. Another combat type can carry more than one ton of bombs to attack enemy ground targets. There is another type that is used for civilian purposes and can transport urgently needed items to guests or directly transport guests. However, this kind of transportation cost is relatively high and people cannot yet widely use it. However, some wealthy people have now begun to travel on them. Li Zhenhua was very happy after hearing this. He said: "This requires a process of people getting to know each other. Some people now think that going out in an airship may be dangerous, but when people get used to it, they will accept it. Businessmen are very smart when they use airships." After the airship transportation makes more money than others, they will accept it. In addition, they can also consider opening overseas routes. As long as they are used, more people can use it." "Okay," Xie Zuantai said, "I am going to open it first. The route from Guangzhou to Shanghai should be publicized in newspapers first to encourage people to use it. " "It should be like this, and then it can be opened from Guangzhou to Beijing, Shanghai to Wuchang and then to Chengdu, or Shanghai to Tianjin and Beijing. We can first invite some reporters to ride for free and they will give us free advertising." "I will arrange this work right away." "You can talk about those things after you go back. You first prepare two airships for me. I want to go to Annan." "Thisthisyou'd better not go out in an airship." "What's wrong, you don't have confidence again?" ?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I always think you shouldn¡¯t take this airship. After all, it is dangerous.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°You are the backbone of us all. If something happens to you, our career will be over. I can guarantee that there will be no problem with the airship. But I always feel that you shouldn¡¯t go into dangerous places. If something happens, how can I explain it to everyone?¡± I'm not afraid of danger." Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "Okay, don't argue. You can prepare two ships for me immediately and I will use them tomorrow to prepare your crew for the first stop." Seeing Li Zhenhua say this. Xie Zuantai had no choice but to agree to his request. The next morning, Li Zhenhua got up early and started preparing to leave. He was going to Annan. The only person who came to see him off was Xie Zuantai. He personally made preparations for Li Zhenhua. Although the preparations had already been made, he still checked again. He even He checked every knot in the engine and personally tried everything several times to ensure there was no problem before he stopped. He also prepared some water and food for Li Zhenhua on the airship. He knew that if the flight went well, it would take about five or six hours. If it didn't go well, it would be hard to say. In terms of weapons, he installed two heavy machine guns and artillery on both airships, but did not install them because they were not necessary for fighting. About the pilots, Xie Zuantai selected the two best flight teams. They have flown for hundreds of hours and are very experienced. They performed very well every time they flew. One of the team leaders was named Feng Yulong and the other was named Dao Dashan. At this time, the flight team was already waiting in front of the airship. Text Chapter 51 Encountering a typhoon Chapter 51 Encountering a typhoon Li Zhenhua was about to board the airship. Wang Xin came again on horseback. She came specifically to see Li Zhenhua off. Others did not come because they did not notify people. The little girl's eyes turned red when she saw Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to coax her and say that she would be back soon to reassure her. But she was worried and insisted on letting Li Zhenhua take one of her two little girls, saying that he wanted to take care of her. As soon as Li Zhenhua heard this, he started sending people to keep an eye on me before anything happened. But Li Zhenhua rejected her on the grounds that there were no girls there and it was inconvenient to move. This made Wang Xin very unhappy but also afraid. He was too willful and aroused Li Zhenhua's resentment, so he reluctantly agreed not to let them go. The airships flew smoothly in the air. The speed of the two airships was about 40 kilometers per hour. The distance from Fangcheng to Haiphong was about 200 kilometers. A normal flight took five hours. People above thought it only took five hours to reach Haiphong. Let's start. The time was still very smooth, but the weather changed after more than two hours. Modern people will say: "A girl's heart is filled with autumn clouds." It means that the changes in the sky are great, and there is a dark cloud slowly appearing on the horizon. After coming up, the wind started blowing on the sea. Flight team leader Dao Dashan looked at the dark clouds in the distance and said to Li Zhenhua: "The situation of the commander is going to change." "It doesn't matter, you must stay calm." Li Zhenhua comforted him and said: "You have encountered this kind of situation before in training. "I've encountered it before. But I think the storm this time will be worse than before." "I'm afraid it won't be possible. The rain area will be much bigger." Break through." Li Zhenhua's relaxed words made the soldiers of the flight team relax. If their leader is not afraid of him, what else should he be afraid of? Chuang! The airship continued to fly forward. The airship behind it also followed Dao Dashan closely. He asked one of his soldiers to send a light signal to the back to ask them to be careful. Li Zhenhua knows that the wind and waves in the Beibu Gulf are very big, especially in the summer and autumn. If you encounter a typhoon, it will be very dangerous. The typhoon is spinning and blowing people there without knowing it. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the dark clouds were approaching. The airship was shaking violently. The motor used to adjust the direction was spinning desperately, but it did not solve the problem at all. The two airships also distanced themselves. Soon they could no longer see each other. The heavy rain It started to rain again, and the visibility was very poor. The sky was overcast and heavy, and I could only see out a few dozen meters. At this time, Li Zhenhua felt that the wind was about level 6 or 7, and the wave height was already six to eight meters. Suddenly, an engine on the right guillotine stopped working. People on the airship were a little panicked, and the pilots were a little helpless. The remaining two machines were also at a loss. They don't know when it will stop working. If it falls into the sea all of a sudden, it's hard for them to say. People were a little panicked. Their eyes were all looking at Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua knew that he couldn't panic now. If he messed up first, there would be nothing to save. Li Zhenhua held the handrail of the crane and walked to the pilot and said loudly to them: "Be careful not to panic when descending." Find a way to save yourself." The pilots nodded at him to express their understanding. But soon the other two engines also stopped working. Now the airship is just passively blown away by the wind. Li Zhenhua hurriedly asked everyone to put some necessary things at hand or take them with them. in case. At this time, the height of the airship dropped to only more than 30 meters. Looking down from the gondola, the huge waves were rolling high, making people feel frightened. The airship was flying forward like this, and I didn't know in what direction it was flying. Suddenly A piece of land appeared in front of them, and a big tree appeared in their field of vision. They saw the big tree crashing towards them quickly. Li Zhenhua shouted to everyone: "Everyone, please pay attention to getting closer there. Listen to my instructions and let's jump down together." He shouted to the pilots again: "Descend to a height and prepare to jump." The airship quickly dropped to a height where the waves below seemed to be falling. Hit the airship. At that time, Kuai Diao Lan quickly crashed into a big tree. People on the airship were a little dizzy. Li Zhenhua shouted: "Jump!" People jumped out of Diao Lan. It must be said that these people's physical fitness It was a good reaction and they all jumped up to the big tree before the hanging blue was smashed. Then they saw that the hanging blue had been smashed and the remaining tatters were dragged away by the huge air bag. People descended from the trees to the ground. At this time, the rain was much lighter, but they could not ignite. It was completely dark. Li Zhenhua checked the number of people. There were only six people around him. He took out his pistol and fired a shot in the air. After a while, Three more people came over, adding that there were already nine people, and there were still three people left. A few people just stood in the rain. Li Zhenhua asked everyone to check and see how many people were injured. Two people bruised their feet, one person's arm was sprained, and the rest were all injured. It's not a big deal if he was scratched by a tree. Someone asked to go under a tree to take shelter from the rain, but Li Zhenhua refused to let him go.Because he knew that if the thunder in a thunderstorm hit the people on the tree and under the tree, it would be the end. In the middle of the night, the rain stopped and the wind became much weaker. Seeing that everyone was freezing, Li Zhenhua asked people to light a fire. A guard went to look for firewood and found nothing dry for a long time. He just found some wet firewood. Li Zhenhua took out the bullets. After a few shots, I poured out the gunpowder and placed it on a stone without water. Then I tore off a piece of clothing, found a wooden stick, wrapped the cloth strip around it, and rubbed it hard against the stone for a while, and the cloth strip became hot. Then it started again. It started to smoke, then blew hard and started a fire. Put the gunpowder on the firewood and ignited it. Slowly the fire got bigger and bigger. The soldiers gathered around and started to warm themselves by taking off their clothes. After the clothes were dry, I felt much more comfortable, but I still felt cold due to the excessive heat loss. Li Zhenhua took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was two o'clock at night. The soldiers were very tired and needed a good rest. He couldn't sleep to death because he was afraid that the wounded would not be able to bear it, so Li Zhenhua said to Li Biao: "Let's arrange it so that the soldiers take turns on duty and wake everyone up every hour. Pay special attention to taking good care of the wounded." Seeing everyone After arrangements were made, Li Zhenhua also started to rest. Text Chapter 52 Search and Rescue Chapter 52 Search and Rescue The sky slowly dawned. At this time, Li Zhenhua saw that they were on the seaside. Li Zhenhua thought: As long as they are on land, it would be easy. After a while, let the soldiers get up and move their bodies. After a while, the soldiers woke up. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "Let's go take a look and see where we are and then get ready to leave." He hurriedly went to see a few injured people. Their condition was not very good. If they couldn't get treatment quickly, they might be in danger. . He had to consider making a few stretchers to carry the wounded soldiers. It didn't take long. The soldiers came back and reported to him: "We found three more of them, but two of them have died and one may have injured his chest." The ribs are broken and cannot be moved. But the situation is not good now. We are on an island surrounded by water." Only then did Li Zhenhua realize the seriousness of the problem. Li Zhenhua hurriedly went with the soldier to see the injured soldier. Li Biao had already asked people to dig two holes. When he saw Li Zhenhua coming, he stood up. Li Zhenhua went over to tidy up the clothes of the two comrades, wiped their faces clean, and said to them: "Brothers, go well. You sacrificed your life so that our country could prosper. The people who sacrificed their lives will not forget you." Then he gently put the two of them into the grave and buried them. Another soldier also gently transported him back. Since this is an isolated island, it means that these people will be tested by survival in the wild. Li Zhenhua asked people to gather the food for distribution, but no one except him and a soldier brought the food down. They just brought their weapons with them. The food on my body can only last people one day. As long as there are trees on the southern islands, it is not a big problem, but the key is water, which is the most important thing. He had no choice but to let everyone go find something to eat. He had to go and see if there was any water source. This was the most important thing. The island is not big, measuring more than thirty meters from east to west, and more than forty meters from north to south, with an area of ??just over a thousand square meters. After half an hour, people came back. There were no live animals, but some wild fruits and bird eggs were found. A warrior caught a snake, so he took out a third of the food and gave each person a portion to grill over the fire. There is no water source but there are some small puddles containing some water from rain. If you save some money, you can last for two days. Li Zhenhua asked his guard captain Li Biao to be responsible for the wounded, and the rest of the people were responsible for finding food and preparing food for survival in the wild. Without food and ships, it would be impossible for them to leave here on their own. The situation was much more serious than he expected. Some of those who had scratches on their bodies had suppurated. Li Zhenhua helped them squeeze out the pus and temporarily found some herbs to apply on Li Biao. There was actually a bottle of wine on Li Biao's body, so he used it all. Use it as alcohol. After another airship passed through the wind and rain, they found that they had actually flown back. However, because they had run out of fuel, they had to stop and leave people to guard the airship. The rest of the people hurried to Fangcheng at noon the next day. They arrived at Fangcheng, but when they arrived at Fangcheng, they found that Li Zhenhua's airship had not returned at all. They immediately became anxious, especially Li Zhenhua's guards, who immediately ran to Wang Xin to report to her. The entire upper level of Fangcheng soon knew about this incident. Several people talked about it and immediately made a decision. First, they sent two homing pigeons to Haiphong to ask whether Li Zhenhua had arrived in Haiphong. At the same time, mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to make all preparations and be ready to launch searches at any time. Time passed minute by minute in the arduous waiting. People have never felt that time is so sad. The officers were even more anxious. They wanted to immediately go out to search, but they were all persuaded by Wang Xin. The pigeons released at noon were ten at night. After 1 o'clock, the two carrier pigeons released there finally arrived: "Li Zhenhua did not arrive at Haiphong." Zhang Xinghua and other senior officers who "rescued Annan" spent this long night sitting in chairs like this. Everyone knew that without Li Zhenhua, their just-started dream of revitalizing China would be shattered. Without him, no one would be able to take the next step. Don't know how to proceed. Search plans were drawn up one by one, but because it was nighttime, people couldn¡¯t go out and could only spend their time waiting. The next day it was just dawn. People from all walks of life were dispatched to Fangcheng. On land, even workers in the factory were dispatched to conduct a dragnet search on the land. At sea, all ships and ships were dispatched to search the nearby sea. Six boats in the air were dispatched. The airship took off to conduct a dragnet search of the nearby area. The "Annan Rescue" troops on the coastal defense side put down all their work and split up to search south and north along the coastline. All civilian ships in the port were requisitioned, and several soldiers on each boat were requisitioned. They went out to sea separately. It was dark, but a day passed without any harvest from the sea, land, and air. News from all over the place showed that their whereabouts had not been found. The mood of the people in the two search headquarters in Fangcheng and Haiphong was extremely bad. The cooks heated the food over and over again, but no one took a bite. People's mood had never been so depressed. Wang Xin persuaded people to eat a little, but no one moved their chopsticks. People's mood became even more anxious. The eyes of the officers and cadres in both places were red. But Wang Xin surprisingly did not cry at this time. She put her sadness in her heart and presided over the search work. After dark, the ships camped on the land and stopped at sea. The airships stopped in the air. People on the land lit fires beside them. Soldiers at sea and in the air also lit torches beside them. It was to allow Li Zhenhua and the others to see these firelights. The search continued at dawn on the third day. Cai Xinhua, the captain of the No. 034 airship, held the telescope with his hands and looked into the distance. His eyes were now filled with bloodshot eyes. They were searching the sea like a net, and the telescope in his hands was basically not lowered. Suddenly, the right front There seemed to be a little green on the blue sea. He paused and rubbed his eyes with his hands. He raised the telescope again and saw clearly that it was green. He immediately ordered: "Speed ??up. There is an island to the right of the target." The airship accelerated and flew there, getting closer. It turns out that there is a small island there. Others did not see this island when they searched, and it was not marked on the chart. It was only a small island. Cai Xinhua muttered in his heart: "The blessings of all the gods allow me to meet you at least, but we can't live without you." Text Chapter 53 Finally saved Chapter 53 Finally rescued. Although Li Zhenhua and the others were waiting for rescue, they still made preparations for self-rescue. The next day, they had already started to make wood logs by themselves. Without a saw, they chopped slowly with a knife without a rope. Li Zhenhua believes that as long as you go north, you can enter the territory of Guangxi and go west, you can enter Annan. The wind direction in autumn may be northerly, but as long as you climb the logs and walk in any direction, you can go out within a short distance. It would be too far. On the fourth day, Li Zhenhua divided some of the last bit of food for everyone to eat mixed with other wild vegetables and wild fruits. The wood cutting can be completed today, and some more other wild vegetables and wild fruits on the trees can be harvested tomorrow. After setting off, the condition of the seriously injured soldiers was not good and they needed to be treated as soon as possible. You can't wait like this. They were busy. Suddenly, Li Zhenhua seemed to hear something. After listening carefully, he immediately picked up the telescope and rushed outside the woods. He could see it with his eyes. It was an airship flying towards here. He raised the telescope. He saw the flying dragon below. Li Zhenhua shouted to his brothers: "Brothers! Light a fire!" Several soldiers hurriedly lit a fire and thick smoke started to rise. Some soldiers hurriedly picked up their clothes and rushed to the beach to face The airship shook desperately. The wounded who were lying on the ground unable to move also looked into the sky and saw that the airship was getting closer and closer. The huge dragon on the airship could already be seen. The airship in the sky discovered the fireworks on the island and they were lowering their altitude and flying directly towards here quickly. Finally saved, Li Zhenhua sat down and people who had not been able to eat or drink well these days were relying on their own beliefs to support themselves. Now that he had seen that he was out of danger, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The airship came down, and the people on it rushed down and hugged the people on the island. People shouted and screamed happily. The pilots on the airship brought them food and fresh water. In the distance, another small speedboat was coming here. I drove quickly and was finally saved. Even though such a big thing happened, Li Zhenhua still insisted on going to Annan and took an airship. He asked the incoming ships to transport the wounded back, and then continued towards Annan. This guy's behavior made Wang Xin very sad and frightened. She secretly shed countless tears, but she finally let go. In the Sino-French War in 1885, although China's Fujian Navy suffered heavy losses, the squadron actually defeated the French army on land. However, due to the weakness of the Qing government, the Qing government sent Li Hongzhang to hold talks with French Minister Bardenot in Tianjin. On June 9 of that year, a "Sino-French Treaty of Tianjin" was signed that was beneficial to the French. After British mediation, China gave up its suzerainty over Annan and gave France full authority to manage Annan. As a result, the squadron withdrew from Annan and the French team withdrew from Taiwan. From then on, Annan separated from China and became a French possession. The current French government is very dissatisfied with the Governor of Annan. Their understanding of the Qing army is still limited to what happened a few years ago. This time, French citizens disappeared in the Qing Dynasty. They think this is an opportunity to be satisfied with what they have always said about our country, Guangxi. , attempts to invade Yunnan, but because of the unclear situation at the beginning, they thought that the Qing army had not been strong in combat effectiveness in recent years. When they failed at Zhennanguan, the important Qing general General Feng Zicai had returned to his hometown again. That annoying black flag The army has also returned to China, and most of them have gone home to farm. They negotiated with China as diplomatic envoys. However, their army was making secret preparations, intensifying the density of artillery fire, and then suddenly attacked Zhennan Pass. The Qing army, which had little combat effectiveness in launching the attack, was instantly defeated by their artillery fire. The French army swarmed up and captured Zhennanguan. They thought they would get an advantage, but they got it instead. When their army marched forward proudly, they didn't expect to be picked up by a bunch of miscellaneous troops in China. Even the prisoners of war have not been able to get back. Later, without knowing it, an "Annam Rescue" suddenly appeared and ate Haiphong in one bite, causing the French army to retreat without a fight in Hanoi. However, the "Annam Rescue" stuck to itself like a piece of candy from time to time. The French Governor's request to increase troops to Annan has not yet been approved by Congress. The French Governor saw that he had no choice but to remain in a stalemate. One of his subordinates gave him an idea to borrow troops from other colonial governors and at the same time organize some Annan people to form a puppet army to strengthen his own army. The French governor in Annan immediately became happy and wrote a letter to borrow troops from other colonies. The soldiers mobilized some garrisons from other cities and asked the locals to form a puppet army team. In this way, he assembled more than 10,000 people to prepare for a large-scale attack on the northern region, and a war was about to begin again. Those intelligence officers in the French-occupied areas learned from the people of Annan that the French had begun to increase their troops again and immediately sent the information back to Zhang.While Hua Hua and others were preparing, Li Zhenhua had already appeared in Annan. Several Frenchmen who bullied Chinese women were eliminated, and the French army used an excuse to send troops to invade. This gave Li Zhenhua an advantage. In this case, Li Zhenhua's troops appeared in Annan as "Annan rescuers" and caught them off guard. All this It all gave the French a headache. They couldn't completely wipe out these "Annan rescuers" because those "Annan troops" were just fighting guerrilla warfare with the French. You couldn't catch them at all, but they seemed to exist anytime and anywhere. The sixteen-character policy that Li Zhenhua told them: "The enemy advances, I retreat, the enemy is stationed, I harass the enemy when he is tired, I attack, I retreat, I pursue." That is the nightmare of the French. They don't know when those Annan people will suddenly appear. I'll give you a try, but when you go to find them, they're gone. After Li Zhenhua came to Annan, Zhang Xinghua and others immediately reported to him the work in Annan. The current work in Annan is mainly divided into two parts. First, the main force is put on the development and investigation of various mineral deposits in the northern Annan area. Continued For mining, they did not confiscate some of the original French enterprises, but protected them and levied certain taxes on them. They also immigrated to Annan to expand the number of Chinese there. Secondly, extensive guerrilla warfare was launched against the French army in various places to suppress the French army and prevent them from slowing down. As soon as they took action, they could immediately obtain their intelligence and take corresponding measures to fight them back. Text Chapter 54 The arrogant soldier¡¯s strategy Chapter 54: Arrogant Soldier Strategy After Annan's French army had been honest for a while, they were ready to move again. At the junction with Annan, they had prepared an army of more than 10,000 people to conduct military operations against the north. Li Zhenhua, Zhang Xinghua, Ye Zilong and others studied the situation in Annan together. They agreed that if they want to contain the French, they must strengthen the attack on them. Now the French have a large influence in Southeast Asia. Their sphere of influence includes Annan, Thailand, Cambodia, and Thailand are the buffer areas between French and British forces. After three Indo-Burmese wars, Burma is now a province of British India. These places were originally vassal states of China, and now they are freed from the weak Qing government. Taken away. After Li Zhenhua learned about the situation, he had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Annan. There were more than 10,000 French troops (most of which were puppet troops from Annan who had not been trained at all). Li Zhenhua had not yet taken them seriously. Regardless of whether they were They were all backward in terms of military morale, weapons and equipment, and war concepts. The weather, location, and people were just like them. They had not yet taken advantage of the battle. They had not yet fought. They were doomed to failure. Li Zhenhua analyzed the situation with the officers, which made his subordinates The officers immediately gained new insights. The specific combat deployment is as follows: I have more than 12,000 Annan rescuers under my command. In addition, there are nearly 10,000 militiamen who can be organized. I already have 70 to 80 artillery pieces. In addition, I have mortars and grenades. It's just what the enemy doesn't have. It's no problem to eat 10,000 of the enemy's troops. Li Zhenhua never thought of going to a head-on fight with the enemy. He wanted to use the arrogant strategy. In three days, we let the French army win consecutively. After three defeats in three days, we introduced them into a pocket formation we laid for them. We first used intensive artillery fire to kill a large number of enemies, and then divided and interspersed them to scatter and eat the enemies. Achieve maximum benefits at minimum cost. All the officers agreed with Li Zhenhua¡¯s battle plan. After the meeting, Li Zhenhua immediately led his officers to see the terrain and arranged a suitable place for the French army to deal with them. The group of them marched on the road to Annan until they got close to the French army, and then they started walking back. At a place more than a hundred miles away from the French army, Li Zhenhua asked a company of cavalry to be arranged here to explain. He found that the French army was just attacking. He immediately ran back and retreated seventy or eighty miles. At a certain place, Li Zhenhua wanted to arrange a battalion of cavalry soldiers equipped with three Maxim heavy machine guns and let them hold on for a day. The purpose was just to inflict a certain amount of damage on the enemy. and then retreated. They walked another hundred miles north and were only two days away from Hanoi. The terrain here was very suitable for an ambush. Here, Li Zhenhua wanted to eat all the French troops after they were surrounded. Li Zhenhua decided to let the first regiment be responsible for blocking the enemy here. The second regiment and the cavalry regiment were separated into two parts, the east and west, responsible for surrounding the enemy. The third regiment was responsible for blocking the enemy from behind to prevent them from escaping. The four airships of our own do not need to participate in the battle now. They are only conducting necessary reconnaissance work to clearly detect the enemy's headquarters, artillery and its heavy firepower points, and mark them on the map so that our artillery can teach them a lesson. The artillery regiment concentrated all artillery and mortars of each unit to attack the enemy hard. After the artillery fire stopped, the cavalry on the left and right wings began to penetrate the enemy group. After disrupting the enemy, the northern front began to compress into the center and wipe out all the enemies. We must seize what we can. We need a large number of factories and construction sites everywhere. We need a large number of captives for our labor force. The two small troops entered their positions as required. They sent out scouts to closely follow the movements of the French army. Their scouts were under the nose of the French army, and any actions of the French army were under the control of the scouts. The French army, who thought they were fully prepared, began to move out. On the first day, their march was not affected at all. They marched more than 80 miles safely without noticing the shadow of Annan's rescue. The French army thought that they were afraid of themselves and did not dare. and exchange fire with their large forces. But what happened in the morning of the next day was that a group of Annan soldiers built simple fortifications on the road and blocked the path of the vanguard. The French lieutenant colonel immediately ordered a company of troops to charge. However, Annan's machine guns and rifles were quickly rescued. They knocked down all the more than 100 people here. Of course, there were also people who had to lie down on their own. Their firepower was too intense. The lieutenant colonel was very angry when he saw that there were more than a hundred Annan people on the opposite side. How could he lose dozens of people as soon as they met? So he immediately organized a second charge, but was beaten back by the opponent again. As soon as the lieutenant colonel saw that he could no longer do anything, he immediately reported to their supreme commander that he had discovered a large force of Annamites. Their firepower was very fierce and the attack was blocked. The supreme commander was a colonel who asked for support. He immediately sent an artillery unit to conduct an artillery strike there. Twenty minutes later, the French army began to charge again, but this time when they cautiously entered the range of the opponent's guns, they did notSomeone shot at them. When the French troops rushed into the opponent's position, they found that all the guards there had fled. The colonel was very happy after hearing the report. It seemed that they were still very afraid of my cannon, so he ordered the troops to continue moving forward. The day passed safely. The next day, they were blocked again. This time the Annan people had obviously increased their strength. From the firepower, it could be seen that the opponent had more than 500 people. The two charges were fruitless and the French army lost hundreds of corpses in front of the position. The French army began to attack with artillery fire. However, those "Annanites" were obviously afraid of the French artillery and they immediately ran away. Defeated the Annan army's blockade twice in a row. This made the French colonel extremely happy. The Annan people were so stupid after these two attacks. How could such an easy battle fail? It's unbelievable how they became officers. The happy French colonel asked his subordinates to bring him red wine and he wanted to have a good rest. If this is the case, then I can arrive in Hanoi in two days. Victory is already beckoning to him. He begins to imagine what he can get after victory. Text Chapter 55 Total Annihilation of the French Army (Part 1) Chapter 55: Total Annihilation of the French Army (Part 1) The French army was blocked again just over a hundred miles away from Hanoi. This time, the force on the opposite side was obviously increased. The colonel said in his heart: "Stupid Annamites, you have already committed a military crime. It's a big mistake that you used the refueling tactic, which is the most undesirable. "The colonel immediately made a smart decision not to let his soldiers die in vain. He immediately ordered the artillery to start shooting at their positions without caring about anything else. Let's give them a cannon shot first. Besides, they are afraid of our cannons. Soon the French cannons began to show off their power. The cannons continued to hit the opponent's infantry positions, and the clouds of exploding cannonballs rose up one after another. group. The colonel felt very comfortable when he saw his cannon displaying its power. After firing for more than half an hour, he saw that the position on the opposite side had been completely turned over by artillery fire. The colonel ordered the artillery fire to stop firing. The charge formation of an infantry regiment appeared. In a typical intensive charge, the infantry were on both sides of them, and some cavalry were covering the charge. The heavy machine guns kept suppressing fire on both sides, but there was still no reaction from the other side. It seemed that the cannon just hit them. Can't fight back. The French colonel was in a surprisingly good mood. Opposite is Zhang Xinghua's group. Their blocking position is on the road in front. Knowing that the enemy will use artillery to clear the way, they have dug their own defenses. The depth of the fortifications is nearly two meters deep, and they have dug trenches to the side. There are many anti-cannon holes to hide the enemy's artillery shells. The French army's artillery shells are not large. Most of them are 37-guns and some 75-guns. However, there are relatively few regiments. Few of them are placed on the front line. They cannot put all their forces here. Let the enemy's artillery bombard you. There are only more than two hundred people on the position now, but there are a large number of communication trenches behind them. As long as the enemy's artillery stops shooting, the soldiers behind will come up. Experienced soldiers can know the enemy without looking at it. How far is the situation? What is the speed of the enemy? This can be heard from the music of the French musicians. At first it is only the speed of the march, then they are too far away. When their rhythm is faster, they are already close to 500 meters. By the time they made the final charge, their drumbeats were joined together. The enemy was already close, at a distance of three hundred meters. Two battalions of soldiers had entered the position. The soldiers were already ready for battle. Bullets were already loaded and grenades were placed in front of them. Although the enemy's heavy machine guns were still firing, the soldiers were just silent. Waiting quietly. The enemy's artillery had already stopped shooting, and their artillerymen were looking at the gorgeous offensive formation of their infantry brothers from behind. The French charging queue was close to a hundred meters away. They once again increased their speed, but there was still no movement from the defensive Annan. Suddenly, a white light appeared in the trench opposite. The experienced French soldiers knew that it was a volley from the opponent. The opponent started to fight back with the light from the muzzle of the shot. Although the French army did not take these people seriously, the opponent has obviously increased their defense methods. They have used artillery fire that can be fired in a direction that they have never seen before, but the firepower is not strong, but this also gave the French army the first charge. The French army's first charge, which caused considerable damage, left a pile of corpses in front of Annan's rescuers. Their fierce firepower immediately stunned the French army. The attack they finally organized was defeated in just a few minutes. Return. In the afternoon, the French army organized two more attacks, but they also had no effect. The first day's attack was stopped as darkness fell. The situation of the French artillery positions had been marked in detail on the map by Zhang Xinghua's airship. They had only twenty or thirty artillery pieces, but their heavy machine guns were also placed together with the artillery pieces. This was a common problem in the military thinking at that time. They believed that heavy machine guns, like artillery, were infantry support firepower. Looking at the arrangement of enemy artillery fire and heavy machine guns reported by the airship troops, Zhang Xinghua said to Li Zhenhua: "It seems that we will suffer a bit this time. Once the artillery fires, those heavy machine guns will be destroyed. We may not get any good heavy machine guns." "Li Zhenhua knocked on the table with his hand and said, "There is no way anyone can let them put all those cannons together. This way we can save some shells." At night, Li Zhenhua ordered the troops to enter their positions. Complete their respective fortifications. Each unit quietly entered its own position. The horses seemed to know their mission and quietly did not make a sound. In the middle of the night, each unit entered their charging starting point and only waited for the order to attack. The next morning the sun rose slowly as usual. The sky in Annan seemed to be longer, but the soldiers all got up early. They had breakfast quickly and quickly made all preparations. All units had already entered. Everything is ready for their position. They just need the east wind. Li Zhenhua and Zhang Xinghua stood on a high ground outside the headquarters and were observing the enemy's situation with binoculars. Those in the French campThe French soldiers had slowly gotten up. Zhang Xinghua was a little anxious. He was about to give the order to fire. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Commander Zhang, we are not in a hurry. It is not too late to gather their troops and fight." I didn't know that I had breakfast right in front of the enemy's guns. They started to assemble their troops. They were fully confident and prepared to take down the Annan position today and march towards Hanoi. The French troops behind them also received orders just last night. They began to move forward. The forward infantry of the French army began to move towards the starting point of the charge. The artillery and machine gunners also entered their positions. An officer was lecturing them. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to Zhang Xinghua: "How is it? They have gathered and are waiting for your bombardment. Let's start." !" Zhang Xinghua was already anxious and waved his hand downwards and shouted: "Hit me hard!" The three soldiers raised their starting guns and heard three gunshots. When the artillery regiment commander saw a red flare flying into the sky and then slowly descending, he waved the starting flag down hard and shouted: "Fire!" Immediately all the cannons began to fire towards the sky. Fire from enemy artillery positions. The soldiers next to each artillery position had been waiting for the order to fire. They immediately pulled the match rope in their hands and heard a loud noise. The cannon sat back and the shells flew towards the French artillery position. The other gunners immediately rushed to their posts and used all their strength to control the cannons and fire at the French army. Almost at the same time, dozens of artillery shells flew towards the French artillery position, and then each gun began to fire at the French army one after another. Text Chapter 56: Total Annihilation of the French Army (Part 2) Chapter 56: Total Annihilation of the French Army (Part 2) The position of the French artillery was immediately shrouded in smoke and dust. The French soldiers there were in a mess. Some people kept flying into the sky. Some cannons and The parts of the heavy machine gun flew directly into the sky, and some parts of the human body, such as arms and thighs, also flew up together. Soon the French artillery positions were destroyed. The remaining French soldiers were either running around or hiding. This burst of artillery fire knocked the French artillerymen unconscious. Their cannons were completely destroyed without firing a few shells. Without the support of the cannons, the French army was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. There was nothing to fear from suffering any more harm. . The French infantry who stayed on the position were also in panic. The officers tried hard to calm down their infantry. However, when dense artillery shells hit the French artillery position, the cries from the soldiers could not be heard. The dense explosions of artillery shells made the infantrymen busy. Although the French officers were working hard, the infantry soldiers had also begun to run around. The neat formations had long been disrupted. The officers could not move the troops at all. settle down. The artillery fire stopped at the enemy's artillery position, and soon their muzzles turned to the French infantry formation. Smoke and dust rose again on the infantry. The French soldiers there were ravaged by the artillery. The artillery fired for fifteen minutes. They stopped shooting. As soon as their cannons started firing, the commanders of other cavalry and infantry looked at their watches. As soon as the fifteen minutes were up, they ordered their troops to start charging. At almost the same time, Annanjiu on the opposite side had already started attacking. Three more green flares appeared in the sky. This was the signal to start the general attack. Immediately, countless Annan soldiers appeared from the front and began to charge towards the French army. Dragon flags were fluttering in the wind, and they directly charged towards the French army, and then moved towards the east and west sides. The soldiers also began to attack. The artillery that fired at the enemy's artillery positions also began to turn to carry out extended artillery bombardment at the dense areas of the French army. Since the enemy's area had been divided in advance, the artillery observers in the distance were instructing the artillery units to fire targets. Those shells fell down as if they had eyes, and they hit wherever the French soldiers had more shells. The current artillery tactics of various countries only require rough strikes and there is no concept of precise strikes at all. However, the artillery shells Annan saved accurately hit the French army. Although many of these French troops are veterans with rich combat experience, let alone them. The soldiers, even their officers, had never experienced such a war. The French soldiers in the encirclement were in vain no matter what orders the officers gave. They were all like headless flies, crying for their parents and running around with their heads in their hands. Under the attack of the artillery, they were all in chaos. However, the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the infantrymen who rushed up from behind made them scared. The French army began to swarm towards the south. Everyone hated their parents for giving them less life. They lost their legs and ran back in the direction as hard as they could. The road I used to walk there was a flat avenue, but overnight there was a trench blocking it. But the French soldiers who were swarming in did not care about anything. They just ran forward. Suddenly the trench stretched out. An officer gave an order and countless bullets flew out. Especially the dozens of heavy machine guns sprayed out dozens of tongues of flame and swept towards the French army. The French soldiers fell down one by one, and the rest of them They all ran to the back. The red trousers and black tops of the French army could be said to be red and black at first, but now most of the ones lying on the ground were red. The blood of the French soldiers had flowed into small rivers. Troops from the north and the east and west fronts have already rushed forward, especially the cavalry soldiers from the east. They hold guns in their left hands and sabers in their right hands. Under the sunlight, their silver light shines and they rush forward quickly. The French army has just been stunned by the shells. They were quickly divided into small units by the cavalry. The cavalry relied on speed and momentum. After the first bullet was fired, their spears were already carried behind their backs. One hand controlled the horse and the other hand sabered down a foreign devil's head. Then he pulled the saber on the ground and struck a Japanese soldier on the neck. With this blow, the two enemies were eliminated. A French soldier pointed his gun at a cavalry soldier. Before he could fire, the soldier knocked him with his saber and pointed the muzzle of his gun in the air. The war horse had already knocked him down, and then the big hooves stepped down hard. As he went up, red liquid came out of his mouth, and countless horse hooves came after him again. Later, he couldn't tell what it was. Soldiers from the north and west rushed up to face the chaotic French soldiers. Their rifles were just pointed at them, and they were already kneeling on the ground, raising their guns high and making a gesture. Resistance: For those who still want to resist, they can be dealt with with a single shot. How can those French soldiers have any resistance and willpower? Looking at the locals in Annan, they have no intention of fighting with their own people. As soon as they see those "Annanites"He immediately raised his hands and surrendered. The charging soldiers were not in the mood to deal with them. They just pointed their hands behind them and told them to go to the prisoner of war team behind and report themselves. When the French colonel saw that the situation was over, he only had a few hundred soldiers under his command. A large number of Annan rescue soldiers had already rushed here. He originally wanted to fight, but when he saw the state of the officers and soldiers under his command, he was in no mood to resist. He said to his adjutant: "Order them to surrender. If the fight continues, more people will bleed and die. We have tried our best." The tricolor flag fell down and a white flag was raised high to see the command of the French army. The white flag was raised at the top. The resisting French soldiers put down their weapons one after another and raised their hands. The officers had already surrendered. What else could they do? Soon, the resistance of the French army stopped the gunfire on the battlefield. Stopped. The soldiers cheered, and a soldier from the Black Flag Army ran up to Li Zhenhua and said: "We have fought with the French for many years, and we have never won such a victory as this time. Every time, we suffered a large number of casualties among our brothers. "Li Zhenhua looked at him and said: "You and General Liu Yongfu are both good. You fought bravely, but the main reason is that your weapons are not as good as the French, which caused you a lot of casualties." Li Zhenhua did not say the main reason. It's because of the difference in their military concepts. How can I say that I came from later generations? If I can't win in such a childish battle, then my years in the army will be in vain. The most fundamental rule is not to fight unprepared battles and not to fight uncertain battles. Zhang Xinghua ordered the troops to immediately start cleaning the battlefield and then tallied the results and his side's losses. The results came out quickly. The French artillery position was immediately shrouded in smoke and dust, and the French soldiers there were in a mess. Some people were flying into the sky. Some parts of cannons and heavy machine guns were flying directly into the sky. At the same time, some parts of the human body, such as arms and thighs, also flew up. Soon the French artillery positions were destroyed, and the remaining French soldiers were either running around or hiding. This burst of artillery fire knocked the French artillerymen unconscious. Their cannons were completely destroyed without firing a few shells. Without the support of the cannons, the French army was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. There was nothing to fear from suffering any more harm. . The French infantry who stayed on the position were also in panic. The officers tried hard to calm down their infantry. However, when dense artillery shells hit the French artillery position, the cries from the soldiers could not be heard. The dense explosions of artillery shells made the infantrymen busy. Although the French officers were working hard, the infantry soldiers had also begun to run around. The neat formations had long been disrupted. The officers could not move the troops at all. settle down. The artillery fire stopped at the enemy's artillery position, and soon their muzzles turned to the French infantry formation. Smoke and dust rose again on the infantry. The French soldiers there were ravaged by the artillery. The artillery fired for fifteen minutes. They stopped shooting. As soon as their cannons started firing, the commanders of other cavalry and infantry looked at their watches. As soon as the fifteen minutes were up, they ordered their troops to start charging. At almost the same time, Annanjiu on the opposite side had already started attacking. Three more green flares appeared in the sky. This was the signal to start the general attack. Immediately, countless Annan soldiers appeared from the front and began to charge towards the French army. Dragon flags were fluttering in the wind, and they directly charged towards the French army, and then moved towards the east and west sides. The soldiers also began to attack. The artillery that fired at the enemy's artillery positions also began to turn to carry out extended artillery bombardment at the dense areas of the French army. Since the enemy's area had been divided in advance, the artillery observers in the distance were instructing the artillery units to fire targets. Those shells fell down as if they had eyes, and they hit wherever the French soldiers had more shells. The current artillery tactics of various countries only require rough strikes and there is no concept of precise strikes at all. However, the artillery shells Annan saved accurately hit the French army. Although many of these French troops are veterans with rich combat experience, let alone them. The soldiers, even their officers, had never experienced such a war. The French soldiers in the encirclement were in vain no matter what orders the officers gave. They were all like headless flies, crying for their parents and running around with their heads in their hands. Under the attack of the artillery, they were all in chaos. However, the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the infantrymen who rushed up from behind made them scared. The French army began to swarm towards the south. Everyone hated their parents for giving them less life. They lost their legs and ran back in the direction as hard as they could. The road I used to walk there was a flat avenue, but overnight there was a trench blocking it. But the French soldiers who were swarming in did not care about anything. They just ran forward. Suddenly the trench stretched out. Countless guns were fired, and an officer gave an order and countless bullets flew.Especially the dozens of heavy machine guns sprayed out dozens of tongues of flames and swept towards the French army. The French soldiers fell down one by one. The rest of them ran back one after another. The French army's red pants and black tops turned out to be It is said to be red and black, but most of the people lying on the ground are red. The blood of the French soldiers has flowed into a small river. Troops from the north and the east and west fronts have already rushed forward, especially the cavalry soldiers from the east. They hold guns in their left hands and sabers in their right hands. Under the sunlight, their silver light shines and they rush forward quickly. The French army has just been stunned by the shells. They were quickly divided into small units by the cavalry. The cavalry relied on speed and momentum. After the first bullet was fired, their spears were already carried behind their backs. One hand controlled the horse and the other hand sabered down a foreign devil's head. Then he pulled the saber on the ground and struck a Japanese soldier on the neck. With this blow, the two enemies were eliminated. A French soldier pointed his gun at a cavalry soldier. Before he could fire, the soldier knocked him with his saber and pointed the muzzle of his gun in the air. The war horse had already knocked him down, and then the big hooves stepped down hard. As he went up, red liquid came out of his mouth, and countless horse hooves came after him again. Later, he couldn't tell what it was. Soldiers from the north and west rushed up to face the chaotic French soldiers. Their rifles were just pointed at them, and they were already kneeling on the ground, raising their guns high and making a gesture. Resistance: For those who still want to resist, they can be dealt with with a single shot. How could those French soldiers have any resistance and willpower? Looking at the locals in Annan, they had no intention of fighting with their own people. They immediately raised their hands and surrendered when they saw those "Annanites".

The white flag was raised at the top. The resisting French soldiers put down their weapons one after another and raised their hands. The officers had already surrendered. What else could they do? Soon, the resistance of the French army stopped the gunfire on the battlefield. Stopped. The soldiers cheered, and a soldier from the Black Flag Army ran up to Li Zhenhua and said: "We have fought with the French for many years, and we have never won such a victory as this time. Every time, we suffered a large number of casualties among our brothers. "Li Zhenhua looked at him and said: "You and General Liu Yongfu are both good.

The most fundamental rule is not to fight unprepared battles and not to fight uncertain battles. Zhang Xinghua ordered the troops to immediately start cleaning the battlefield and then tallied the results and his side's losses. The results came out quickly. Text Chapter 57 Foreign Bases Chapter 57 Foreign bases: More than 1,400 French soldiers were killed and more than 2,200 prisoners were wounded. A total of more than 3,000 French soldiers were killed, more than 300 puppet soldiers were killed, more than 500 people were wounded, and more than 4,000 French soldiers were captured. Basically all the more than 10,000 people organized by the army were eaten. There are many supplies seized, including rifles, more than 10,000 bullets, too many cannons, fifteen cannons, several thousand rounds of bullets, too many to count, and some that can be pieced together, more than 400 horses, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of other food and medicines. There are enough to equip a small hospital, and the staff is basically complete. Those female military doctors and nurses made some soldiers jealous, but Li Zhenhua strictly ordered that they are now his own military doctors and no one can physically invade them. But if Those French girls are not exempt if they want to be romantic. Only 124 people on our side died, 327 were injured, and a number of shells and bullets were consumed. The following is the treatment of those prisoners. The places have been prepared long ago, that is, their various enterprises and construction sites. The French army interrogated them one by one to understand their specialties. If they have any skills that can be used, they have to do manual labor. or. As a result, many legal persons have obtained positions where they can use their special skills. Mechanical repairmen, go and carry out maintenance work. Many cannons, heavy machine guns and rifles need to be repaired, so go and carry out repairs. Trumpeters and drummers in military bands. Let us first become teachers for a period of time to teach the soldiers Annan rescued, and then go do manual labor. Those who have research in agriculture can also try it out. Anyway, this big granary of ours also requires a large number of farmers. Those French military doctors should be well protected. First let them be responsible for the rescue work of all the wounded. If they can be used by me at work, they should be carefully observed and then they can be included in their own future establishment. If not, even if you have talents, I can't use them. . However, those with higher military ranks can also be taken care of, but the prerequisite is that you have to be obedient. If you don't, I'm sorry. There is plenty of work for you to do. Zhang Xinghua's division hospital has more than doubled in size. Those who were injured received good treatment. Most of the lightly wounded French soldiers also had their wounds treated. Why are there no seriously wounded? I'm sorry. Those people had already treated them quietly. They spared the pain and stopped wasting precious medicines. Li Zhenhua asked Zhang Xinghua to accompany him to the hospital to visit his wounded. Seeing that they were all well treated, Li Zhenhua expressed his gratitude to the medical personnel of the legal entity. This made them very touched. How did his army treat the enemy? They were I know, but they were very happy that they could treat the prisoners like this, so the Chinese and French wounded were quickly discharged from the hospital one after another. News of the French army's defeat spread quickly. Countries around the world reported on the French army's battle with Annan in newspapers. This caused a sensation in the world. It turned out that the unknown Annan people could actually defeat France with advanced weapons. This is so incredible. News of this battle was also published in Chinese domestic newspapers, which aroused great response among the people. At the same time, those Qingliu people began to attack the Sino-French War in 1883 and the subsequent treaties signed with the French. There was another quarrel in the court of the Qing government. After taking care of the work in hand, he asked a French officer to send a letter to the French Governor in Annan in Saigon. He simply said that now you can only stay in the south honestly. If you don't If you are convinced, you can continue to fight. Then we will make it impossible for you to come back. Li Zhenhua knew that the French had no power to attack them anymore, but they were extremely worried about their neighbor. The German emperor had always been unkind to them. The last Franco-Prussian War made the French cede territory and pay compensation. This is a disease in the French heart. Li Zhenhua originally wanted to immigrate here, but there were not many people under his jurisdiction, so now he had to wait for a while before thinking about it. There are a large number of Chinese in the entire northern Annam area with Hanoi as the center. Moreover, the "Annan Rescue" team also gathered a large number of elites from various Southeast Asian countries. These people did not want to be oppressed by the French and ran to Hanoi. One of them, Zhang Xinghua, said that this person was very politically savvy. His name was Pan Peizhu. He had a strong Seeing that the "Annan Rescue" defeated the French army, he took the initiative to join the army and actively participated in the "Annan Rescue". He completed various tasks well and became an effective staff member under Zhang Xinghua. Li Zhenhua immediately decided to form a government team. The people in it must be absolutely loyal to China or to himself. It is not difficult to find such people. First, he sent some people from the army to the government. Then some soldiers turned around and became government workers. The person named Pan Peizhu was also placed in the government. Let him take charge of one aspect of the work. ???????????????????????????????????????????The mountains and coal mines send people to rearrange production and ship the products out to make money. If the original Frenchman comes back, let him continue to be his boss, as long as they can pay taxes to themselves according to regulations, then they can use their business management capabilities. Once the accounts are well managed and they come back, the business can be completely handed over to them. For other people from the original Annan Kingdom or their original royal family members who want to cooperate with us, then cooperate with them as long as it does not interfere with our normal work. But one thing is that it is different from before. They used to Black Flag Army Liu Yongfu's method is of no use to us now because Liu Yongfu originally wanted to act based on their looks and they wanted to give Liu Yongfu an official (Governor-General of Sanxuan). Now it is us who give them an official. The territory we conquered was originally our vassal country. Now that the French have taken it, if we take it back, it won't be regarded as belonging to the Qing government or the French. It will become our own and we will use it as a base for ourselves. His desire to enrich the country and strengthen the army led to a complete defeat of the Japanese in the war against the Japanese a few years later. The main opponent below was the Russians. Text Chapter 58 Planning for South Asia Chapter 58 Planning South Asia This is a good wish, but it still takes a lot of effort to achieve this goal. Li Zhenhua clearly realizes that the achievements he can achieve now have great opportunities. Will there be such a thing in the future? I don't know the good luck, but you have to be prepared. As the saying goes: "Opportunities are for those who are prepared." Then you should be prepared to welcome new opportunities. Soon the Siamese Self-Defense Army, the Lao Revolutionary Army, and the Cambodian National Army were established one after another. They all had a group of troops under their command. Of course, they were all Chinese soldiers who had been tested in many wars. Although there were not many in the past, they quickly became The armed forces of several countries were integrated together like a spark. They all started to use guerrilla warfare to deal with the French occupying forces because these troops all presented themselves as the people of their own country. Their top leaders were all Chinese. Most of the grassroots are locals, but they are led by middlemen and use middlemen as their leaders to conduct military training on the locals and provide them with weapons (of course, the weapons sold to them are all French weapons) or from The French took weapons from their hands and armed themselves. Some people here want to ask why there is no Myanmar. Of course, Myanmar is also in Li Zhenhua's ideal, but now they just have to deal with France and Britain first, and the next step is to deal with them. It is also very easy to deal with them. As long as the situation requires it, they can quickly start from The north and east completely suppressed them. It would be too easy to take over Myanmar. If they dare to be dishonest, they will also solve the problem of India. At the very least, India must be divided into pieces. Li Zhenhua's main idea is still to focus on the Strait of Malacca because it has important strategic and economic significance. The Japanese call it a "lifeline". Once a war breaks out, the British will guard it. They can let anyone in or out at will. Then there is the problem. But it¡¯s too big. Just the increased tolls can change the destiny of a country. Otherwise, the Japanese during World War II called this the lifeline of Japan. Even our later countries will have to pay them high tolls every year. Travel expenses? There are also the long coastline, a large amount of aquatic resources and the oil in the sea. As a traveler, he knows all of this. If he doesn't control the strategic resources in his own hands, he will be in vain if he humiliates them. Are you here? This is the minimum responsibility of every conscientious Chinese. The most important thing now is to pay close attention to the economic and military work in your hands. As long as you are economically strong and have strong armed forces, no one will dare to despise yourself. The Chinese nation can truly stand up in the world, and foreign powers will no longer dare to point fingers at us. The current scientific and technological strength is still insufficient, and we must do everything possible to introduce technical talents and key technologies. If we want to make a difference at sea, it will not work without the navy. It is absolutely impossible. The current naval technology should be based on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The United Kingdom is now openly and covertly supporting the Japanese. If Li Zhenhua wants to achieve naval development, he can only count on France and Germany. France is not very fond of itself at the moment, and the Germans don't like themselves either. After much deliberation, Li Zhenhua still has to look for skills from the French because they are already carrying out their "Green Water Navy" plan. As Britain's main maritime rival for many years, France's political situation was turbulent in the second half of the 19th century. Prime ministers changed frequently. As a result, the country's policy was inconsistent and its ambitions to rebuild its navy were repeatedly frustrated. France, represented by Dubai Drom, had a lot of talent in ship design at that time and often made technological breakthroughs, such as the bulging design of the hull, the turret gun, and the broken-bolt gun tail locking device, etc. However, there were still many problems in the shipbuilding industry, such as The lack of clear policies is inefficient and cannot keep up with the development of technology. After a warship is built, the next warship has to be redesigned to cater to new technologies. Compared with the UK, although it seems to have absorbed the latest technology, it has resulted in a lack of uniformity. Prolonging the shipbuilding cycle also affects unified operations during combat. In 1884, Admiral Yacente Aub, a representative of the youth faction of the French navy, became the French Minister of the Navy. He even believed that the emerging maritime power torpedoes were the magic weapon to defeat the enemy. Once France had 100 torpedo ships, it would be the biggest threat to the British navy. Moreover, torpedo ships Compared with the construction of battleships, the cost was negligible. Therefore, after he came to power, he immediately ordered the cancellation of all battleship construction plans. This approach was undoubtedly another fatal blow to the already declining French navy. It was not until the 1990s that the French realized this mistake and quickly picked up the three "Marso" class ships whose construction period had been delayed for almost 7 years. Unfortunately, by the time they were completed, they were already looking very old. The design and construction of the "Charmartel" class, three "Charlemagne" class ships, etc. were unable to support the French Navy. By the end of the 19th century, the French naval fleet had long lagged far behind on the high seas and was reduced to a mere force. The power of insignificance. Since it isIn this way, such a large number of excellent naval personnel and good shipbuilding equipment will be idle. If you want to take action at this time, it will not be without gain. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua laughed again. The owners of the French shipyards that are about to go bankrupt will be very happy if they see someone coming to buy their idle equipment. Maybe they will also be happy to order something from you. When it comes to acquisitions, it requires money. Now he doesn't have that much money in his hands. Li Zhenhua immediately remembered that Wang Chi would not be able to do it without his support. He would also have to find a way to solve the financial problem. In modern society, if a country has no money, it is definitely a good idea to print bills. But to print bills, you need to have your own bank. If you don¡¯t have your own bank, then you don¡¯t have to think about it. You can only spend the bills printed by others. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua hurriedly settled the affairs in Annan, accelerated the purchase of grain, and transported the grain to the north in exchange for silk, porcelain, and lacquerware. These things were exchanged for foreign daily necessities and his own military supplies. We should also increase the mining of iron and coal in Lang Son and Taiyuan, export as much as possible in exchange for money, and the arms business in Southeast Asian countries should also be booming. Text Chapter 59 Zhan Tianyou Chapter 59 Zhan Tianyou There is so much rice here in Annan that only the local people can eat. If the rest cannot be exported, it will be thrown away. The locals have no way to export it and sell it. How much can they do on their own? Hua Group Company has taken care of everything in China, especially in big countries where there are no disasters. Part of it is used for disaster relief, and the rest is used to exchange money. Food shipped to the northern region of China can be exchanged for silk, porcelain and lacquerware, or silver shipped to other parts of the world can be exchanged for more things such as technology, steel, etc. Although a pound of grain can't be exchanged for much, if there is more, it will be a problem. In addition, iron and coal mining in Lang Son and Taiyuan must be increased to export as much as possible in exchange for money. Southeast Asian countries must also expand their arms business. Now most of Annan's minerals are controlled by the French. They can't give Annan much money like they did in the Qing Dynasty, but now it belongs to Li Zhenhua. He is too expert in this economic aspect, and the sovereignty aspect is mine. I also need to collect taxes on transportation. I also need to take a share. This is all money. Now these French bosses have run away, but if they come back, the industry here will still be theirs, but it will be more than what they handed over before, and it won't be as huge a profit as before. That's what they are willing to do. If you don't come back, it will be mine. When it comes back, it will be yours, but I have to take the big one. Zhang Xinghua and the others were not clear about this, but when Li Zhenhua enlightened them, they all understood that there was so much knowledge here, but they understood it, but they thought they were not good at business management. So he asked Li Zhenhua to send management personnel from China to Annan to help with management. Li Zhenhua saw that it would not be difficult for them, so he agreed. It is also very convenient to send management personnel to Annan to mine those coal and iron ores and then organize external transportation. First, just board the ship from the inland river and transport it to Haiphong. Now, you can ship your own orders from Fangcheng every day. Anyway, many Xinghua Group companies have such talents, so just let them come over, and then continue to select suitable talents from the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Annan. After they can stand alone, let them manage them. After finishing these matters, Li Zhenhua hurriedly boarded the airship. The flight back to Fangcheng was much smoother this time. It only took a few hours to fly back to Fangcheng. He had to quickly discuss the establishment of a bank with his Finance Minister Wang Xin. Wang Xin was very happy to see Li Zhenhua back, but she also greeted her with greetings. But when Li Zhenhua met, he said to her: "I want to build our own bank." Wang Xin was stunned when he heard Li Zhenhua's words: "Bank "Yes." Li Zhenhua emphasized again: "Yes, we will build our own bank and issue our own currency." Wang Xin stood up and walked around the room twice. Suddenly she stopped and said to Li Zhenhua. The bank is good. This is a good idea, but we need to go to Kunming to talk to my grandfather about this. He has long wanted to set up his own bank, but he has not been able to do it because of many difficulties. " "Okay, when will we do it? "Go?" "I'll take care of the things at hand and then we'll go. It's not long before we go back to see his old man," Wang Xin said. "Since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, we should bring some gifts back to grandpa." Li Zhenhua said, "As for the gifts, just take care of it. Prepare more ordinary things. The old man doesn't like to prepare more novel things. When we arrive in Kunming, I want to see more friends." The two were discussing the matter of going to Kunming. Someone from outside came to report: "General Manager Zhan Tianyou of the Railway Construction Corporation is back and wants to see you." Li Zhenhua hurriedly heard that Zhan Tianyou was back. When they met, Li Zhenhua was shocked. Zhan Tianyou was dark and thin. He was wearing a bamboo hat, his clothes were dirty and torn, and there were several wounds on his body. He looked exactly like an old farmer in his original elegant scene. Not at all. Li Zhenhua went up and hugged Zhan Tianyou: "Brother, what if you collapse from exhaustion if you work so hard? Come into the room and talk." "It's okay. It's not easy to have this good career that can be done. I won't pass up the opportunity." Zhan Tianyou said as he walked in. Wang Xin quickly made Zhan Tianyou a cup of good tea and sat aside. Li Zhenhua asked hurriedly: "No matter what, you have to make sure that your health is not good. You can't do anything. Drink tea first and then talk about work." "It doesn't matter, let's talk about work first." Zhan Tianyou said. "How is it?" Li Zhenhua asked: "How is the route survey going?" "It's easy to say that we have completed the trip to Nanning.It's up to you to decide if we have two more lines going to Kunming. "As he spoke, he took out a stack of drawings from a bag he carried with him. Li Zhenhua helped him put the drawings on the table and spread them out. Only a railway line appeared on the paper in a zigzag manner. The distance, elevation, cave , bridges, stations, etc. are all shown on the map. Looking at the survey drawing that Zhan Tianyou measured step by step with his own feet, Li Zhenhua felt infinite emotion in his heart. No one who takes the train can. You will think that the rapid transportation you are riding was first measured step by step by people. However, China's first generation of railway builders were such a group of people who had the courage to measure step by step for the sake of the motherland's railway construction cause. The hardships and hardships are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. He remembered that he had seen a life story of Zhan Tianyou on the Internet: Zhan Tianyou was born in Wuyuan, Jiangxi in 1861 (the eleventh year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty). An ordinary tea merchant family. As a child, Zhan Tianyou was very interested in machines. He often used clay to imitate various machine models with neighborhood children. Sometimes he would secretly take apart the chiming clock at home and play with the components inside. There is no answer to the question. In 1872, Zhan Tianyou, who was only twelve years old, came to Hong Kong to apply for the "preparatory class" for "young children going abroad" organized by the Qing government. After passing the exam, his father wrote on a note: "If you are sick, you will be safe." Destiny" was stamped on his overseas certificate. From then on, he bid farewell to his parents and came to the United States to study with the ideal of learning Western "skills". Text Chapter 60 Zhan Tianyou (2) Chapter 60 Zhan Tianyou (2) Students in the United States' overseas study preparation class witnessed the great achievements of science and technology in North America and Western Europe and were amazed by the rapid development of machines, trains, ships and telecommunications manufacturing industries. Some students became pessimistic about China's future, but Zhan Tianyou said with firm belief: "In the future, China will also have trains and ships." He studied hard with the belief that he would study hard for the prosperity of his motherland. Graduated with honors from New Haven High School in 1877. In May of the same year, he was admitted to the Department of Civil Engineering of Yale University, specializing in railway engineering. During his four years at the university, Zhan Tianyou studied hard and achieved outstanding results, ranking first in the graduation examination. In 1881, only two of the 120 Chinese students who returned home received degrees, and Zhan Tianyou was one of them. After returning to China, Zhan Tianyou was full of enthusiasm and prepared to contribute the skills he had learned to the railway industry of the motherland. However, the Westernization officials of the Qing government were so superstitious that foreign countries relied on foreigners when building railways that they ignored Zhan Tianyou's professional expertise and sent him to the Fujian Naval Academy to learn how to sail a sea-going ship. In November 1882, he was sent to the flagship "Yangwu" as a pilot (pilot) to direct naval soldiers to conduct drills. In the second year of the Sino-French War in 1883, the long-planned French fleet entered the Minjiang River one after another and was ready to make a move. But it was ready to move. He Ruzhang, the surrendering shipping minister in charge of the Fujian Navy, ignored him and even ordered: "Those who are not allowed to fire first will be killed even if they win!" "At this time, Zhan Tianyou privately said to Zhang Cheng, the commander (captain) of the "Yangwu": "There are many French warships coming with ulterior motives. Although we were ordered not to fire first, we must not fail to take precautions. "Due to Zhan Tianyou's warning, the "Yangwu" was very vigilant and prepared for battle. When the French fleet launched a sudden attack, Zhan Tianyou braved the fierce artillery fire and calmly and tactfully directed the "Yangwu" to conflict left and right to avoid enemy artillery fire. The fighter plane hit the French command ship "Volta" with its tail cannon, causing the French naval expedition commander Guba to almost die. The "Zi Lin Xi Bao" founded by a British businessman in Shanghai also had to marvel in its report: "Westerners did not expect that the Chinese would fight so bravely. Among the five students on the Yangwu warship, Zhan Tianyou performed the most bravely. He was fearless in the face of powerful enemies, and at critical moments of life and death, he was still calm and courageous enough to rescue many people in the water" Later, Zhan Tianyou went to China Railway Company as an engineer after many twists and turns. This was his dedication to China's railway industry. Not long after he took office, Zhan Tianyou encountered a test. At that time, the Jinyu Railway from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan was built to build a railway bridge across the Luanhe River. The riverbed of the Luanhe River was very deep and the water was rising. Rapids. The iron bridge was originally designed by British engineers who were said to be the best in the world, but it failed. Later, Japanese engineers were asked to contract the work, but it was not effective. Finally, German engineers were defeated soon after, and Zhan Tianyou asked the Chinese to be responsible for it. The British engineer had no choice but to agree to Zhan Tianyou to give it a try. Zhan Tianyou was a serious and down-to-earth person. After analyzing and summarizing the reasons for the failure of the three foreign engineers, he wore work clothes and conducted on-the-spot investigations with the workers through careful measurements. . At night, I carefully studied the geological structure of the Luanhe River bed with the help of a dim oil lamp. After repeated analysis and comparison, I finally determined the location of the bridge piers and boldly decided to use the new method of "pressure caisson method" to construct the bridge piers. Zhan Tianyou's design was indeed successful. The Luanhe Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. This incident shocked the world: a Chinese engineer actually solved a major problem that three foreign engineers could not complete. After Zhan Tianyou won the first battle, he immediately encountered a more severe test. In 1905, the Qing government decided to build it. my country's first railway, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway (Beijing to Zhangjiakou). At that time, both Britain and Russia wanted to intervene but failed due to the strong opposition of the Chinese people. The British and Russian envoys said in a threatening tone: "If the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is established by Chinese engineers built it themselves, so it has nothing to do with Britain and Russia. "They thought that China would be unable to build this railway. At this critical moment, Zhan Tianyou took over the arduous task without hesitation and took full responsibility for the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. The news came to some imperialists and the British The newspapers said sarcastically: ¡°The engineers in China who can build this railway are not yet born in their mothers¡¯ wombs! It will take at least fifty years for the Chinese to build their own railways without relying on foreigners, if not a dream. They even attacked Zhan Tianyou as "arrogant" and "overestimating his capabilities" for serving as the General Office and Chief Engineer. Zhan Tianyou insisted on not appointing a foreign engineer despite the pressure and said: "China has a vast land and abundant resources, and must rely on outsiders to build its infrastructure." I feel ashamed! Moreover, China has woken up. The Chinese want to use their own engineers and their own money to build railways. ¡± In August 1905, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was officially launched and the intense work of exploration and line selection began. Zhan Tianyou led the survey team carrying instruments and ran on the rugged mountains day and night. One evening, a strong northwest wind swept the sand and gravel in the Badaling area. The roaring and roaring made people unable to open their eyes. The survey team was in a hurry to finish their work, fill in the measured numbers, and then climbed down from the rock wall. Zhan Tianyou took the book and looked at the filled in numbers while asking doubtfully: "Data."Is it accurate? ""About the same," the survey team member replied. Zhan Tianyou said seriously: "The first requirement of technology is that precision should not be a little vague and rash, but roughly the same. Such statements should not come from the mouths of engineers. "Then he carried the instrument on his back and braved the wind and sand to climb up the rock wall with great difficulty. He carefully re-examined and corrected an error. When he came down, his lips were frozen and blue. Soon the exploration and construction entered the most difficult stage. In Badaling There are overlapping mountains and steep cliffs in the Qinglong Bridge area. Four tunnels need to be dug, the longest of which is more than 1,000 meters long. After precise measurements and calculations, Zhan Tianyou decided to adopt a segmented construction method: drill from the north and south ends of the mountain at the same time and build in the middle of the mountain. A large well is dug in the middle and drilled to the north and south ends. This not only ensures the quality of construction but also speeds up the progress of the project. When digging the hole, a large amount of stone is dug manually with a shovel and the spring water that emerges has to be carried by the load. Zhan Tianyou, who came out as the chief engineer, had no airs about digging rocks and carrying water with the workers, covered in mud and sweating. He also encouraged everyone by saying: "The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is the first project we built with our own people and our own money. The eyes of the whole world are looking at this railway. We must succeed! "Regardless of success or failure, it is by no means our own success and failure, but the success and failure of our country!" " Text Chapter 61 Zhan Tianyou (3) Chapter 61 Zhan Tianyou (3) In order to overcome the difficulty of driving on steep slopes and ensure the safety of the train climbing up Badaling, Zhan Tianyou creatively used the principle of "return line" to design a herringbone line in the Qinglong Bridge section of the steep mountainous area, thereby reducing the number of trains. The excavation of the tunnel lowered the slope. When the train arrives here, it cooperates with two high-horsepower locomotives. The front one is responsible for pulling and the rear one is responsible for pushing to ensure that the train goes uphill safely. Zhan Tianyou once put forward three requirements for the entire project: "low cost, good quality, quick completion". After several years of hard work by workers, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was finally opened to traffic in September 1909. It was originally planned to be completed in six years, but it took only four years to complete ahead of schedule. The cost of the project was only one-fifth of the foreign estimate. Some European and American engineers took a bus to visit and praised Zhan Tianyou for his greatness. But Zhan Tianyou said modestly: "This is the strength of our more than 10,000 employees on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. It is not my personal contribution. The glory should belong to everyone." engineer. At this time, the United States decided to award him a doctorate in engineering and asked him to go to the United States in person to attend the awarding ceremony. He gave up this honor in order to fully participate in the construction of the motherland's railway. After the Revolution of 1911, Zhan Tianyou and his colleagues initiated the establishment of the Chinese Engineering Society in order to revitalize the railway industry and was elected as the president. During this period, he devoted a lot of effort to the training of young engineering and technical personnel. In addition to setting an example with his own behavior, he also encouraged young people to "research academically intensively in order to invent" and asked them to "not bend oneself to favor others, and do not seek reputation for fame. Be sincere." It is an example to pick up things without holding on to private treasures and jade.¡± Zhan Tianyou has been engaged in the railway industry for more than 30 years and has been involved in varying degrees with almost every railway in my country at that time. Unfortunately, he died of illness in 1919 at the age of 56 due to overwork in his later years. Comrade Zhou Enlai once spoke highly of Zhan Tianyou's achievements and said that he is "the glory of the Chinese people". Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua carefully read Zhan Tianyou's design drawings, put them aside and said to him sincerely: "Mr. Zhan, I have read your design drawings and they are very good. My opinion is to implement your first plan. After all, you guys It was achieved with actual operations. We will start work as soon as the Chinese New Year next year. You are summarizing your experience in this area. But I have a request for you, that is, China cannot only have one Zhan Tianyou, but you must also cultivate talents for our country. Come to such a group. At the same time, you have to pay more attention to your personal health. If the railway is finished, your body will collapse. If that happens, I will let you go to the school to be a teacher responsible for training people to prevent you from doing it again. Go to the construction site. You must obey my decision." Zhan Tianyou saw that Li Zhenhua really cared about him and said to Li Zhenhua, "I will definitely listen to you, but this is the first batch of students. No matter what, I have to go to the construction site with them. Just talking can't solve the problem. There are many situations that can only be solved through actual work." Li Zhenhua thought that this was also the case, so he agreed to it, but immediately gave it to him again. A security platoon was sent to take special care of him, first to protect him and secondly to take care of him in terms of daily life. Anyway, we couldn't let him die young in his fifties. Then Xie Zuantai was asked to allocate an airship to the Railway Construction Corporation of Zhan Tianyou. This was also to enable him to work faster. After Zhan Tianyou left, Li Zhenhua immediately informed Johnson and asked him to find a way to find a pair of brothers in the United States, Charles Durie and Frank Durie. The two brothers were bicycle mechanics and must bring these two people to China. If they are brothers They will bring any inventions they have with them. They are the fathers of automobiles in the United States, so poach them and let them produce our own cars on Chinese soil. This is not just for Zhan Tianyou and Li Zhenhua. They are willing to buy another set of automobile production equipment. Of course, this is also for their own sake. Starting a business? As long as it is useful to China's rich country and powerful army, it must be taken. How many related industries will be affected by one automobile industry? This will help China enter an industrialized society faster. Johnson, a foreigner, is not used to celebrating the Chinese New Year, so let him go and get busy. I have to prepare for the Chinese New Year here. On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Zhenhua started to leave. He was going to Kunming to visit Mr. Wang Chi. His support for him was so great that he had to go and visit him. Li Zhenhua informed Xie Zuantai and asked him to prepare an airship. He was going to Kunming. When Xie Zuantai heard this, he hurried over. He said to Li Zhenhua: "You don't want to take the airship. You scared me to death last time. If I can't find you, I'll die." I don¡¯t want others to scold me to death if I have the heart. Don¡¯t sit on this thing this time. I don¡¯t dare to take any risks.¡± Li Zhenhua smiled and said, ¡°This is not your business, this is the weather¡¯s business. We should also think of ways to do weather forecasting, and pay attention to collecting talents in this field. If we don¡¯t have them now, it doesn¡¯t matter if we find some old fishermen and farmers. They have their own methods for weather forecasting and summarize their experience.Then select some young and educated people and let them focus on special research on this weather issue. After accumulating a certain amount of experience, they can make accurate forecasts. " "Well, that's all it can be now. Now I'm also doing work in this area, but now I can only make short-term forecasts. " "That's good. Once you have the short-term forecast, you can slowly make the long-term forecast. Take your time and pay attention to accumulating experience. " The airship took off. Li Zhenhua asked the pilot to fly lower. He and Zhan Tianyou wanted to take a closer look at the route designed by Zhan Tianyou from the air. Zhan Tianyou pointed to the drawings on the airship and explained to Li Zhenhua. The airship first took off from Fangcheng and flew over. After arriving at Qinzhou, we headed north to Nanning. From above Nanning, we started heading northwest to Baise and then west to Kunming. People on the airship saw that there were high mountains and deep valleys, some with bridges, some with caves, and not much flatness at all. The area is very different from the North China Plain. People on the airship admired Zhan Tianyou's work spirit and Li Zhenhua became more determined to protect them. After arriving in Kunming, Li Zhenhua and the others arrived at their branch. After resting, Wang Xin went home first and asked her to say hello to Mr. Wang. Li Zhenhua first talked to Zhan Tianyou about the launch of the railway project after the year. Li Zhenhua said to him that this time he would make a summary and carefully observe the talent. Let the talents who are suitable for managing projects and responsible for managing finances be put to full use. Text Chapter 62 Zhan Tianyou (4) Chapter 62 Zhan Tianyou (4) Wang Xin first prepared 500,000 taels of silver notes for him as start-up capital, and asked him to post an announcement after returning to Fangcheng to let a large number of migrant workers work after the new year. The number of people in Fangcheng is not enough. Here in Nanning and Kunming, we also need to recruit more people, especially those in the areas affected by the disaster this year. Our railway construction site will have to have a scale of 20,000 people. Then we can separate several parts and start construction at the same time. After that, this will be our own professional railway. Building the team. In the evening, Li Zhenhua came to Mr. Wang Chi's residence. The two of them exchanged pleasantries first. Wang Chi expressed his gratitude to Li Zhenhua for the gift. Li Zhenhua said: "There is no need to say any words of thanks between us. If I say thank you, it should be me." That's right." Mr. Wang Chi laughed. Li Zhenhua quickly got to the point. He asked the old gentleman for advice about his plan to set up a bank. Wang Chi said to Li Zhenhua: "I have long planned to set up a bank. I saw that banks in Western countries think they are still very advanced. We just put our own Fixed in the size of the ticket number, it is already very backward. At this point, we need to learn from the banking industry in Western countries. If you plan to do it, I firmly support you if you are short of positions. You can just say it." "Thank you, sir, I will come. The purpose is for a new bank to be established as a joint-stock company, and your old investment must be calculated in terms of equity. " "That's okay, but the most important thing I tell you is not to take too big a step at the beginning, and be careful not to leave." Hu Xueyan. It¡¯s okay to play with ten jars and seven lids back and forth without leaking, but it won¡¯t work if there is a run.¡± ¡°Yes, you must have sufficient margin. It doesn't matter if you go bankrupt if there is a run, it will harm you and your customers, and it will be difficult to turn around later. " "Also," Li Zhenhua continued, "What do you think about issuing banknotes?" "Speaking of issuance? Banknotes and banknotes are similar in that they use credit instead of cash, so you need to have enough cash as a guarantee so that you won't be afraid in case of a run. The same goes for foreign banks. They also need gold as a guarantee. Furthermore, we need to have good credit and be able to pay at any time.¡± ¡°Another point is that we can draw on the experience of Western banks and hire some foreign bank personnel to help us at the beginning, and then consider whether to leave them or not until we have a complete grasp of the situation. "Wang Xin also added with a smile. Wang Chi and Li Zhenhua both agreed with Wang Xin's opinion. They nodded in agreement and said that Wang Xin was indeed a genius in business. Otherwise, he would not have handed over all his financial power to her. In the evening, Li Zhenhua went back to his residence by himself, and Wang Xin stayed with his grandfather to introduce the recent situation. During the conversation, Wang Chi inevitably asked Wang Xin about their marriage. Wang Xin was different from ordinary girls. She told her grandfather what Li Zhenhua was thinking. First, he was too busy. Second, he was always afraid that he would not know what he was doing that day. He sacrificed it for fear of delaying Wang Xin's life. Third, Li Zhenhua felt that he was still young, so he thought it would be best to stay a few years later. Wang Chi shares some of Li Zhenhua¡¯s thoughts. He thinks Li Zhenhua¡¯s considerations are right and the relationship between the two of them is still very good. He is not worried that Li Zhenhua will change his mind midway in the future. Based on his decades of experience, People experience that he has confidence in Li Zhenhua, and Wang Xin is also full of confidence in Li Zhenhua. But Wang Chi always feels that Li Zhenhua is not young now, even after getting married, it will not affect his work. Li Zhenhua, who got up early the next morning, was training the governor Tang Jiong when he came to visit. Tang Jiong was entrusted by someone to come and discuss the marriage between him and Wang Xin with Li Zhenhua. When the two entered the house, Tang Jiong asked Li Zhenhua straight to the point: "How are you thinking about that matter? We just used the Chinese New Year time to get it done." Li Zhenhua was stunned for a moment before he understood what Tang Jiong meant. He had not considered this matter at all for a while, and it was difficult for him to answer. He faltered and had to say directly to Tang Jiong: "Master Tang, I am really sorry about this matter because I was quite busy and I really didn't think about it. " When Tang Jiong saw this, he said directly: "Forget it, I think you don't have to think about it. Just follow me. Since you two have no objections, I think this matter will be easy. I will handle the matter in Kunming these two days. Let's do it. Don't shirk anymore." Upon hearing this, Li Zhenhua immediately became anxious: "If this doesn't work, let me and Wang Xin talk about it again." Li Zhenhua was so anxious that he almost talked about it. If you use words like ", make friends", isn't this an arranged marriage? Even though I have a good impression of Wang Xin, it can't be like this. Before the two of them got into trouble, someone else took care of it. Tang Jiong is also anxious. The eldest girl has been following you for several months and now you haven¡¯t made it clear. This is not okay. I have never seen you like this: "It¡¯s not right for you to do things like this."Although we are not childhood sweethearts, we have been working together for a long time. It can be said that we know each other very well. According to Westerners' habits, you should have settled down. " When Li Zhenhua heard this, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said hurriedly: "Well, Mr. Tang, I will talk to Miss Wang individually first and then tell you the result. It's okay this way. " "It seems that it is really difficult to drink your wedding wine. " "It's not difficult. You'll be able to drink it soon." " "Okay, I'm taking my leave. I have to go to the palace to give an explanation. You should reply to me quickly. The emperor is really not in a hurry, eunuch. " Tang Jiong left for half an hour when Wang Xin came. When Li Zhenhua saw him, he had to have a serious talk with Wang Xin. He immediately invited the lady to his room and poured tea for the lady with his own hands. Before he spoke, his face turned red. Wang Xin also sat there with his head down and said nothing. "Hmm," Li Zhenhua cleared his throat first and was about to speak. Wang Xin saw his nervous look and burst out laughing: "What makes you so nervous?" ah? " "It's a big deal. Mr. Tang said it was a big deal. " "What's the big deal? " Text Chapter 63 Anti-French Hero Feng Zicai Chapter 63: Anti-French Hero Feng Zicai "It's about you and me. Master Bu Tang has already told me twice." At this point, Li Zhenhua became less nervous. "Look at Miss Wang" Wang Xin became unhappy when she heard him call her "Ms. Wang" and said to Li Zhenhua: "You don't usually call me miss. What's wrong with you today?" "Ah Wang Xin" Li Zhenhua hurriedly changed the title back: "This is what Mr. Tang said when it comes to our affairs. Now you, I am relatively busy with work and chaotic. I don't think I can be in a hail of bullets all day long." I'm afraid it will affect your happiness in the rest of your life." It's a clich¨¦. "Brother Li, what you said is wrong. I am sincere to you. I have already made an oath: I will not marry you unless I am in this life. This life will be the Li family. If you die, you will be the ghost of the Li family. Do you still have to let me die to prove my ambition?" He already had a knife in his hand. Li Zhenhua saw that my words were meant well. Why did you show the knife? He hurriedly said to Wang Xin: "Don't do this. What I mean is" "Don't say it anymore. No matter what happens in the future, I won't do it." Any eldest brother who complains will not live in the world by himself even if I serve you for the rest of my life." After saying this, tears were already streaming down his face. Li Zhenhua sighed and thought, why are people in this era like this? If it turns out that in my era, I would have to find my own way before the soil on the grave dries. Women in a village in Anhui learned that the Beiyang Navy was defeated. All those who had heard about their husbands' deaths committed suicide and died in love on one day. Later, when someone learned about the situation, they didn't know at first why these people died in one day. Only later did they find out who it was. One day they received news of their husband's death. Seeing that Wang Xin was so determined, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to agree, took her knife, wiped the tears from her face, and said to her: "Stop crying and let others see it." "What do you think of other people's hearts? Don¡¯t you know?¡± Wang Xin smiled and said to Li Zhenhua sheepishly, ¡°Did I look like a bitch just now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all Mr. Tang¡¯s fault.¡± Mr. Tang is so bad that I won't be able to spare him. " "It turns out that my Wang Xin is not like this. Why did he become a shrew today? But I think you looked like Mr. He just now. A little girl who wants something to eat." "My husband, don't say that. I was really afraid that you wouldn't want me anymore. Then I really don't know what to do." "You can't do it. I'll tell you after I've been through the fire of war. You are my good wife and I will not let you go." After saying that, he took Wang Xin into his arms and kissed her affectionately. Wang Xin's face turned red again, but she did not refuse and just felt a feeling of happiness filling her whole body. The two of them formally discussed how to handle their own affairs together. Li Zhenhua believed that it was not the time to get married yet, so he could settle down and wait for the right opportunity before consummating the marriage. Of course, they were now husband and wife, and Wang Xin immediately agreed happily. Tang Jiong was notified immediately and three days later he would host relatives and friends in a hotel in Kunming to announce the engagement. Tang Jiong shook his head and said: "This wedding wine is really bad, but it saves me from running away in vain." Three days later. Li Zhenhua held a banquet at the best hotel in Kunming and announced to his friends that he and Miss Wang Xin were engaged. Unexpectedly, there were many people who came and received many gifts. However, one person's gift list caught Li Zhenhua's attention. It was a person. Li Zhenhua immediately asked someone to bring the French saber and it was damaged. He saw that the saber was of good quality and that it belonged to a senior officer. The person who sent the saber was the famous anti-French hero Feng Zicai. Li Zhenhua hurriedly ended the banquet and immediately had people lead him to the house of old General Feng Zicai. This famous anti-French hero whom he had already known from his elementary school textbooks, he could not help but see no matter what. He had admired him since he was a child. In a quiet small courtyard, Li Zhenhua met the old man, the anti-French hero in 1985. He was already over seventy years old and in good health. When he heard that the visitor was Li Zhenhua, tears appeared in the old man's eyes. He held Li Zhenhua in his arms. He raised his hand and said: "General Li, thank you. You have relieved me of the bad breath that has been pressing in my heart for five years. I was about to lead the army to attack Lang Son and sweep across Hanoi, but the court came together. After the imperial edict came down, my thoughts became a dream. Fortunately, the general helped me realize this dream. Otherwise, I would not be able to rest in peace." After saying this, he was about to salute Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua hurriedly supported the old man and said to him: " Old General, I am not a General of Yunnan. You don¡¯t need to kneel to me.¡± The old man said: ¡°General, you are wrong. Although you have not taken up the post of General of Yunnan, I have already regarded you as a General of Yunnan. I am just the Admiral of Yunnan.¡± Upstairs?The reason for not kneeling down and worshiping? " "Old General, please don't do this. When we were fighting the French army, I thought that a few years ago you were able to push back the French army with outdated weapons. This made us admire you so much. " "No, our losses were too great at that time. We not only wiped out one thousand enemies but lost eight hundred, but the general kept our army from suffering any casualties. This is so admirable. General, please tell me how you defeated those French troops. of. " Li Zhenhua then told the old man how he annihilated the French army in Guangxi, how he took the opportunity to seize the coastal defense, forced the French army to withdraw from Hanoi, and the recent battle with the French. The old man admired him very much. The old man asked again He went to call his two sons to see Li Zhenhua. Feng Zicai had two sons. The eldest son, Feng Xiangrong, and the second son, Feng Xianghua, immediately paid homage to Li Zhenhua when he heard that he had defeated the French army. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stepped forward and helped the two men up. He said to them: "You father and son are heroes, you are a good example for the Chinese people. If everyone were like you father and son, who would dare to bully our China?" " Feng Zicai asked his two sons to serve wine and invite Li Zhenhua to sit at the head. Li Zhenhua said nothing and did not agree. As a result, General Feng was invited to sit at the head. He and Wang Xin had to sit on the other side of the old man and took the guest seats. The two sons sat down. While accompanying Li Zhenhua to watch the old man, he sincerely left the next seat, which would be convenient for the servants to serve the food (it would be convenient if they were filming a movie or TV series, as no one would block the camera). Text Chapter 64 Anti-French Hero Feng Zicai (2) Chapter 64 Anti-French Hero Feng Zicai (2) Several people happily had a drink before leaving. Li Zhenhua generously gave the old man two Browning pistols, three new rifles and a few grenades. The old man did not ask for anything else. I only asked for two Browning pistols. There was nothing else to say but to let the soldiers take them to fight the French. He looked at the new weapons and the mortar and said to Li Zhenhua: "These weapons made by General Li are the most advanced in the world. With them, we will be much more courageous. But" The implication is this. The Manchu and Qing government is really unflattering. Feng Zicai said to Li Zhenhua again: "My two dogs are a little older. General Li, if you don't mind, let them serve as soldiers for you. After all, they have been on the battlefield. Besides, I guarantee that they will not be afraid when they encounter the enemy." "Die." Li Zhenhua immediately said: "That's great. Let the two generals go to our training team to help me train a group of qualified recruits. It's just that it's not appropriate for the old man to have no one around him." This is obviously taking care of the elderly. Officials in the Qing government do not have much income, and the old man's life is very poor. Now there are two more soldiers. Li Zhenhua's military income is relatively high, and the teaching team is relatively safe, so Li Zhenhua I happily agreed to the old man's request, but considering the old man's situation, I still felt that it would be better to leave one behind. Feng Zicai immediately said: "I will find someone else to take care of them. They will also be happy to let them go to the army to show their talents." He turned to his two sons and said, "Why don't you thank General Li quickly." Feng Xianghua and Feng Ronghua immediately They wanted to kowtow to Li Zhenhua again. Li Zhenhua stopped them and said to them: "We don't like soldiers who kowtow. We have to give a military salute. A man's legs are used for fighting, not kowtowing to others." Feng Zicai The old man immediately said: "It should be like this." Li Zhenhua asked the two of them to go to Fangcheng after the year and he would personally arrange work for them. What Li Zhenhua meant was that Feng Xianghua would go to the military academy as an instructor and Feng Ronghua would help set up a staff office. He would then be responsible for military matters and he would be able to free himself later. This was following the German approach. If anything happened, he could make his own decision later. . After Li Zhenhua left, Feng Zicai and Tang Jiong both told the Queen Mother and the Emperor about Li Zhenhua's recent defeat of the French army in Annan. When you return to Fangcheng to arrange your own New Year celebrations, you just need to let the relevant departments arrange their own holidays. For example, the army does not need to consider holidays. However, people often say that "every holiday season, we miss our relatives even more" and we should let the grassroots officers take care of them. In addition, you can also ask some officers and soldiers whose posts are not very important near home to take turns to go home and take a look at your own soldiers. Years ago, Li Zhenhua even invited those foreigners to have a meal together. His scientific and technological workers also had a party together, and it was good for everyone to have fun together and liven up the atmosphere. Those who have family members are also invited together once a year, no matter how hard they work, the value created by their enthusiasm is indescribable. Suddenly someone came to report: "Ni Wenwei, the governor of Guangdong, and Xu Yanxu, the governor of Guangxi, came to see him." This was all against the grain. Li Zhenhua was a commoner at the price, and these feudal officials came to see this commoner instead. As soon as Li Zhenhua heard that his mind had changed, he was ready to come. "Please!" The two feudal officials were invited in. Li Zhenhua also hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "What are you two doing here after a long absence?" Two The people looked at each other, but they knew that this businessman didn't even give the emperor and the queen mother the respect, but he just liked money, so he didn't get into trouble this time when he came here. But seeing that Li Zhenhua's face didn't look unhappy, the two of them said to Li Zhenhua: "I heard that the general is engaged, and I didn't know that I came here to congratulate you." After that, they presented the gift list. As the saying goes, Taoist officials do not give gifts. Li Zhenhua hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down and read the gift list. As a local official and in such a remote and poor place, the local official didn't have much luck, but the money used for giving gifts was indispensable. When Li Zhenhua saw that there was nothing good, he put down the gift list. The two of them saw that this master was not easy to deal with. But I came here to ask for help, so I had to finish my words. You must know that General Li is not an ordinary rich person. The tax money in Fangcheng alone is a lot, hundreds of times what it was before (nonsense, there was no income at all before, just some fishermen's income.) No matter what You have to let him set up a few more companies on his own territory. It would be better if there were some mining operations. So after the two officials heard about Li Zhenhua's engagement, they really hated themselves for going too far with Li Zhenhua before. They were just afraid that Li Zhenhua would be bad for them. But now, seeing how close Tang Jiong and Li Zhenhua are, everything happened to him. He was asked to report to the Emperor and the Queen MotherThe emperor and the queen mother also have the capital to speak, but I have to get closer to this Li Zhenhua in the future so that I can get more glory. So the two of them said to Li Zhenhua: "Mr. Li, you see that we are in a barren land and very poor and backward. Please, Mr. Li, invest more here in the future to make us rich. This will be of great benefit to the country and the people." The reason is that they did not say that they were rich. After hearing this, Li Zhenhua said: "I am a straight man, so it will be of great benefit to you two." The two people's faces suddenly turned red. Li Zhenhua continued: "This matter is directly related to the fact that when the people are rich, naturally the local officials will also be rich. There's nothing wrong with that." "Yes, yes," the two said hurriedly: "We can also benefit from it when the people get rich." Li Zhenhua said seriously: "Since you two mean this, then just say my ugly words. The people in the front can get rich, and you can also get rich, but don¡¯t go too far. If the people think you are shameless and want to oppose you, no one can save you. " "Yes, yes, yes. Your Majesty, your subordinates must bear in mind that they must be honest and honest and never bend the law. We must put people's livelihood first." "That's good. I happen to have something to ask you. Let's discuss it together." Several people had a drink happily before leaving. Li Zhenhua generously gave the old man two Browning pistols, three new rifles and a few grenades. The old man didn't ask for anything else. I just asked for two Browning pistols. There was nothing else to say but to let the soldiers take them to fight the French. He looked at the new weapons and the mortar and said to Li Zhenhua: "These weapons made by General Li are the most advanced in the world. With them, we will be much more courageous. But" The implication is this. The Manchu and Qing government is really unflattering. Feng Zicai said to Li Zhenhua again: "My two dogs are a little older. General Li, if you don't mind, let them serve as soldiers for you. After all, they have been on the battlefield. Besides, I guarantee that they will not be afraid when they encounter the enemy." "Die." Li Zhenhua immediately said: "That's great. Let the two generals go to our training team to help me train a group of qualified recruits. It's just that it's not appropriate for the old man to have no one around him." This is obviously taking care of the elderly. Officials in the Qing government do not have much income, and the old man's life is very poor. Now there are two more soldiers. Li Zhenhua's military income is relatively high, and the teaching team is relatively safe, so Li Zhenhua I happily agreed to the old man's request, but considering the old man's situation, I still felt that it would be better to leave one behind. Feng Zicai immediately said: "I will find someone else to take care of them. They will also be happy to let them go to the army to show their talents." He turned to his two sons and said, "Why don't you thank General Li quickly." Feng Xianghua and Feng Ronghua immediately They wanted to kowtow to Li Zhenhua again. Li Zhenhua stopped them and said to them: "We don't like soldiers who kowtow. We have to give a military salute. A man's legs are used for fighting, not kowtowing to others." Feng Zicai The old man immediately said: "It should be like this." Li Zhenhua asked the two of them to go to Fangcheng after the year and he would personally arrange work for them. What Li Zhenhua meant was that Feng Xianghua would go to the military academy as an instructor and Feng Ronghua would help set up a staff office. He would then be responsible for military matters and he would be able to free himself later. This was following the German approach. If anything happened, he could make his own decision later. . After Li Zhenhua left, Feng Zicai and Tang Jiong both told the Queen Mother and the Emperor about Li Zhenhua's recent defeat of the French army in Annan. When you return to Fangcheng to arrange your own New Year celebrations, you just need to let the relevant departments arrange their own holidays. For example, the army does not need to consider holidays. However, people often say that "every holiday season, we miss our relatives even more" and we should let the grassroots officers take care of them. In addition, you can also ask some officers and soldiers whose posts are not very important near home to take turns to go home and take a look at your own soldiers. Years ago, Li Zhenhua even invited those foreigners to have a meal together. His scientific and technological workers also had a party together, and it was good for everyone to have fun together and liven up the atmosphere. Those who have family members are also invited together once a year, no matter how hard they work, the value created by their enthusiasm is indescribable. Suddenly someone came to report: "Ni Wenwei, the governor of Guangdong, and Xu Yanxu, the governor of Guangxi, came to see him." This was all against the grain. Li Zhenhua was a commoner at the price, and these feudal officials came to see this commoner instead. As soon as Li Zhenhua heard this, his mind changed. Come on, come on. "Please!" The two feudal officials were invited in. Li Zhenhua also hurriedly came forward to greet them: "What are you doing here after a long absence?"?? "The two glanced at each other. They knew that this businessman didn't even give the emperor and the queen mother face, but he just liked money. This time he came here to avoid getting into trouble. But looking at Li Zhenhua's face, it didn't look like it. The two of them looked unhappy and said to Li Zhenhua: "I heard that the general is engaged, and I didn't know that I came here to congratulate you. "After saying that, he handed over the gift list. As the saying goes, Taoist officials do not give gifts. Li Zhenhua hurriedly greeted the two of them and sat down with the gift list to read. As a local official and in such a remote and poor place, the local magistrate does not have much luck, but There is no shortage of money for giving gifts. When Li Zhenhua saw that there was nothing good, he put down the gift list. The two of them saw that this person was not easy to deal with, but he came to ask for something, so he had to finish his words. General Li is not an ordinary rich person. The tax revenue in Fangcheng alone is hundreds of times what it was before (nonsense, there was no income at all before, just some fishermen's income.) No matter what, he must be allowed in It would be great if we could get more companies on our territory, like mining. So after the two officials heard about Li Zhenhua's engagement, they really hated themselves for going too far with Li Zhenhua before. He was afraid that Li Zhenhua would be detrimental to him, but now he saw how close Tang Jiong and Li Zhenhua were. He reported everything to the emperor and the queen mother, which gave him the capital to speak in front of the emperor and the queen mother. But he would have to deal with this person in the future. If you get closer to Li Zhenhua, you can get more exposure. So the two of them said to Li Zhenhua: "Master Li, you see that we are a very poor and backward place in a remote place. Please let us invest more here in the future." Getting rich here will be of great benefit to the country and the people. "The reason is that they did not say that they were rich. Li Zhenhua heard this and said: "I am a straight person, which is of great benefit to you two. The two people's faces suddenly turned red. Li Zhenhua continued: "This matter is directly related to the fact that when the people are rich, naturally the local officials will also be rich. There is nothing wrong with that." " "Yes, yes, yes," the two men hurriedly answered: "When the people get rich, we can also take advantage of it. " Li Zhenhua said sternly: "Since both of you mean this, my ugly words are just that the people in front of you can get rich, and you can also get rich, but don't do things too outrageously, otherwise the people will look at you and look shameless. If you want to oppose you, no one can save you when the time comes. " "Yes, sir, your subordinates must keep it in mind, they must be honest and honest, and they must not be corrupt or bend the law." We must put people's livelihood first. " "That's good. I happen to have something to ask you now. Now that you're here, let's discuss it together. " Text Chapter 65 The Queen Mother¡¯s Thoughts Chapter 65 The Empress Dowager¡¯s Thoughts These two people were delighted when they heard this. It was a coincidence that they had come earlier than they had come. Good things would come from this. It seems that Mr. Li is not not thinking about himself. He hurriedly said to Li Zhenhua: "Sir, please tell me if there is anything we can do for you." "That's it. I plan to build a railway from Fangcheng to Nanning and then from Nanning to Guangzhou and Kunming respectively. I have already told Mr. Tang If the funds are not enough now, we need to develop a method of raising funds from merchants, and then the merchants will take back their investment from the operation of the railway year by year, and then they will make profits year by year. "Guangdong Governor Ni Wenwei is a sensible person in Guangdong. I have a lot of contact with these things. This is a thing that is beneficial to all businesses. Needless to say, I will also have my own interests in the future, so I immediately agreed: "This is a very good matter. I will definitely help to solve this matter." Guangxi Governor Xu Yanxu also hurriedly agreed upon hearing this. "Since both adults agree, you're welcome. I don't want the gift. You can use it all for investment. Come on." A guard came in and raised his hand to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Take the two adults to Zhan Tianyou." Go to the general manager and ask him to talk to you about the situation and prepare to start construction of our railway after the year." The two governors, Ni Wenwei and Xu Yanxu, came to Zhan Tianyou's railway preparation office. Zhan Tianyou happily received them. I discussed the situation with the two of them. First, the railway departs from Fangcheng, first to Nanning, and then to Kunming. The railway to Guangzhou starts from Nanning, passes through Zhanjiang, Macau, and ends in Guangzhou. The first step plan now is to first move to Nanning and then start construction in the three provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Yunnan. You can first select some capable people to work here and learn while working, and then they can lead their own local workers when they return. It is equivalent to training the railway construction team in advance. Guangxi needs more migrant workers. Zhan Tianyou explained here that there should be more migrant workers, especially in disaster-stricken areas. This is also a "work-for-relief" disaster. Xu Yanxu immediately said: "This is a good idea. Thank you, Chief Engineer Zhan." "Don't thank me. This is the opinion of Mr. Li of our Xinghua Group Company. But if there is one thing who dares to steal a penny from it, Mr. Li said it is the right hand. Use the right hand to chop, the left hand to chop the left hand. "Xu Yanxu was stunned and said quickly: "This is great. The disaster relief food from the court will not be available for a while. With Master Li's method, I have less difficulties." Ni Wenwei, governor of Guangdong. Not to be outdone, he immediately said: "We also have a lot of disaster victims there, let's come more." Zhan Tianyou thought about it, and if there were more people, the labor period might be faster, and he could also choose more railway engineering talents from them. personnel. So he readily agreed to Guangdong's request. The two governors went out happily. They said to each other: "This Mr. Li is really weird. The emperor and the queen mother were misbehaved as officials and just kept money. But we don't want to give him money. It seems that he is bent on serving others." When the common people go back to do something, they should tell their subordinates that if they work under Mr. Li in the future, they must wash their hands first and put their thoughts in order so that he will not kill them later. " The two governors will be killed immediately after they return. He wrote to the court asking for money to build the railway and reported to the court about Li Zhenhua's engagement. When the memorial arrived at the Beijing Military Aircraft Department, it was immediately handed over to the Yangxin Hall. It turned out that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had already said that they should pay special attention to Li Zhenhua and must pay special attention to his situation. The military aircraft department did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent the zhezi to Yangxin Hall. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were there. They had just received two reports from Yunnan two days ago. The two women were talking about how to fight this Li Zhenhua. A young eunuch sent another report about Li Zhenhua. As soon as the two women saw that it was about Li Zhenhua, they immediately Looked up. One is the matter of building the railway, which is a good thing, but if there is not enough money, then we have to ask Guangzhou Customs to squeeze out some of it. The other thing is that Li Zhenhua is engaged to the grand-nephew daughter of Yunnan's "King of Money". Guangxu saw that it was not interesting and put it down. He said in his mouth: "It's just reporting some useless things." The Queen Mother said on the side: "Otherwise, the King of Money can give him his grand-nephew daughter, why don't we make use of this matter." Guangxu seemed to understand at this time. Come here, because the Qing Dynasty has done this kind of thing a lot since it entered the customs. It is something that almost every dynasty and every generation has done. They have always liked to engage in some "political marriage" means. This is the most typical way to control their ministers. The father-in-law whom Kangxi's grandma (the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang) found for him was Sony, who was also the Hesheli family. Hesheli's grandfather was from the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria. His grandfather, Sony, was the auxiliary minister. His father was the minister of bodyguard Kabul. From then on, This family sold their lives for Kangxi and made great contributions to stabilizing the government of the early Qing Dynasty. Why not take advantage of it this time? If Li Zhenhua is also given the title of consort, then this littleMa Juzi put a halter on him. The thing is a good thing, but there are two problems that need to be solved: first, Manchus and Han cannot intermarry; secondly, among the Manchu nobles in Beijing, who has such a girl? The royal family is neither too far nor too close (too close for fear of people gossiping, too far away and difficult to control). I heard that Li Zhenhua is a new-school figure. It is best to be able to speak a few words in foreign language. The last thing is that I don¡¯t know if that guy is serious about his head. thing. The Queen Mother began to think about this matter. Everything else was easy to say, but she didn't know whether this wild horse was obedient. Let¡¯s not talk about anything else. Let¡¯s find someone for him first and then talk about other things. Isn¡¯t that little plum very clever? Then ask him first, so the Queen Mother called: "Little Plum." "What are your orders from Lafayette?" "Did you hear that any minister in Beijing has a suitable daughter?" The Queen Mother's question was not very specific. I understand, but Li Lianying is very good at figuring out Lafayette's thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have become the popular person in front of Lafayette, the eunuch in charge, the Queen Mother. He knew about the Empress Dowager from the military aircraft department's notes about the conversation between the Queen Mother and the Emperor just now, etc. The method of "political marriage" must be used. As expected, the Queen Mother began to ask Li Lianying and immediately replied: "If we go back to Lafayette, Prince Gong (Yi?) who is currently idle at home has an adopted daughter who is a candidate to consider." It's fun to hear it. It's a coincidence that it's better to come sooner than later. Good things will happen now. It seems that Mr. Li doesn't miss him. He hurriedly said to Li Zhenhua: "Sir, please tell me if there is anything we can do for you." "That's it. I plan to build a railway from Fangcheng to Nanning and then from Nanning to Guangzhou and Kunming respectively.

As expected, the Queen Mother started to ask Li Lianying and immediately replied: "If we go back to Lafayette, Prince Gong (Yi?) who is currently idle at home has an adopted daughter who is a candidate that can be considered." Text Chapter 66 Questioning Li Hongzhang Chapter 66 Questioning Li Hongzhang It turns out that although Prince Gong gave birth to several daughters, most of them died at a young age. Therefore, he attached great importance to his daughters, but later his sons were extremely disliked by him, especially with Cixi later. When Mao Dun was laid off at home, he chose a girl named Yaqi from his clan to serve him specially. Her mother is Mongolian, so she should be half Mongolian. This Yaqi was born with beauty, she was very good-looking, and she was extremely smart. She even studied foreign languages ??with him, which made her very popular with the prince, so he recognized such a daughter again. As soon as the Chief Manager and the Queen Mother mentioned this, the Queen Mother asked Li Lianying to bring the girl to have a look. It turned out that the girl was also very fond of the Queen Mother and was well-informed and could speak some foreign languages. After chatting with her for a while, she also knew a little about the situation of various countries in the world. She had reached the bottom line that the Queen Mother had originally set, and she was named Princess Heshuo Yaqi. Now her status was much higher. The emperor's biological daughter was Princess Gu Lun, and the prince's daughter was Princess Heshuo. But in terms of address, they usually call her "Gege". This is a great face to Prince Gong who is idle at home. Immediately, he left her in the palace for two days. Cixi was also older. She liked the young, beautiful and well-educated Gege. This Gege was very good at getting things done. After observing her for two days, she decided on the candidate herself. . The following is about the issue of Manchus and Han not being able to intermarry. Originally, I didn¡¯t take this matter to heart, but now I have to consider it. The Queen Mother is really worried about this matter. This is the ancestral teaching, although people below do not take it seriously, but But the royal family can't do it. It can't be changed easily. After asking the clever little plum, he couldn't solve the problem. The Queen Mother had to curse "useless slave" and she continued to think about it. She didn't have to worry about it now. If you are willing to tell others, it is not easy to ask the ministers about it in the court. Not being able to ask the ministers in the court does not mean that you cannot ask the ministers below. Xiao Li is smart enough to figure out Lafayette's thoughts. While combing Lafayette's hair, he said softly: "Lafayette has not seen anything from Li Zhongtang for a while." The Queen Mother. He immediately laughed and scolded: "Little monkey boy, you are just too smart. Go ahead and send a telegram to Li Zhongtang to ask him to come back." Over the years, Li Hongzhang was not only the first Han man to hold great power, he also served the Empress Dowager and the Emperor many times. To solve the crisis, the Manchus had no choice but to rely on the Han people. Among the Han people, the only one who was loyal and capable to the court was Li Hongzhang. When the Queen Mother had some embarrassing things, she just liked to discuss them with Li Hongzhang, so he took them out. The idea was still in line with the Queen Mother's thoughts, so she came up with the idea of ????letting Li Hongzhang come from Tianjin immediately. After receiving the imperial edict from the Queen Mother, Li Hongzhang made a special trip from Tianjin to Beijing. After seeing the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother first asked everyone to leave, and then told him about finding a wife for Li Zhenhua and asked Li Hongzhang to find a way. Li Hongzhang was an old fox, and he knew that this was to make him a scapegoat. If there is one more crime, it will be another one for others to scold him in the future. But since the Queen Mother asked, there must be an answer. Li Hongzhang thought about it. Li Hongzhang's current impression of Li Zhenhua is very good. He is not just a very profitable businessman. When it comes to marching and fighting, he is better than anyone else. The key is that he is spending money for the interests of the country. Do your best to develop weapons and new gunpowder from foreigners. You can buy it from foreigners. Just bring the money. You just gave the technology to yourself without spending a penny. He is also afraid that Beiyang won't be able to do it on his own. When I came out, I sent a special person to learn it. They taught me wholeheartedly and did not hide it at all. The mortar I made myself, including the man and the cannon, were given to my own soldiers. They said it was good. They not only gave it to He also trained himself a group of qualified artillerymen. Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang didn't know what to say. Anyway, they had selflessly supported him, leaving him with nothing to repay. Now that the Queen Mother has raised this matter, Li Hongzhang is still really embarrassed to speak. It is obvious that the Queen Mother means to use such a person to contain Li Zhenhua. Others said that Li Hongzhang had already agreed to this matter, but when he saw the Empress Dowager's undead expression, Li Hongzhang sighed in his heart and said to the Empress Dowager: "This is a good thing. Regarding the fact that Manchus and Han people cannot intermarry. Although it is an old ancestral system, it is too late. After so many years, it can be changed according to the changes in the situation. Then the emperor can issue an imperial edict to change it first, and then grant Li Zhenhua a marriage. "Li Hongzhang himself is an old fox. He doesn't care about this. The question was kicked back immediately: "There is also another matter. After Li Zhenhua is engaged to the Wang family and then gives him a marriage, should he be his wife or his concubine? If he is a concubine, there won't be so many things." "Of course I am confused. If she is the wife of the wife, is it possible that she still wants Princess from the royal family to be a concubine? " "But Li Zhenhua is already engaged to the Wang family?" Tong Guan?In the entire Qing Dynasty, only Li Hongzhang dared to speak to the Queen Mother like this. "Then you can't just listen to him completely. Besides, isn't he not married yet?" The Queen Mother was being unreasonable again. In this case, Li Hongzhang has nothing to say. "But" after a while, the Queen Mother said again: "I'm afraid it's hard to talk about changing the old ancestral system without any reason." "This matter can be explained by borrowing from foreign situations." Li Hongzhang continued. "Then let me make the first move." The Queen Mother kicked the ball to Li Hongzhang again. "Then let the emperor issue an edict to approve it." As soon as Li Hongzhang saw this, he immediately asked the Queen Mother for money. Although his Beiyang Navy had Li Zhenhua's support, it still couldn't be done without money. Li Hongzhang carefully told the Queen Mother about Li Zhenhua's development of new gunpowder and mortars. He said that he had successfully tested the formula according to Li Zhenhua's formula and could now make it himself. However, since he had no money, he could only wait. Silver. It's okay not to mention the money. The Queen Mother was confused again when she mentioned the money. She was repairing the garden and was looking for money there. The money in her hand was limited and she couldn't take care of both. The Queen Mother had to say: "I didn't expect this young man to have such skills. He can do it for me." It¡¯s rare for him to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty¡¯s research on gunpowder. I¡¯ll tell the emperor to let you solve some gunpowder matters first.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll resign first.¡± Text Chapter 67 Questioning Li Hongzhang (2) Chapter 67 Asking Li Hongzhang (2) The Queen Mother waved her hand and Li Hongzhang retreated, thinking that this time it was not in vain and he had gained some money for his Beiyang Navy. But if Li Zhenhua already knows about this, I should inform him. He is selflessly supporting me, so I should give him a break. After returning to his residence, Li Hongzhang immediately asked his beloved son-in-law Zhang Peilun to send a telegram to Li Zhenhua using a secret code to tell him about this incident. It also stated that he did not know that the gift would be replenished after the engagement. After Li Hongzhang returned to Tianjin, he immediately asked Ding Ruchang, the admiral of the Beiyang Navy, to write a memorial to the emperor. The memorial said two things. First, "During training and combat, naval soldiers have braids that are too long, which affects their combat. Second, after being injured, it is difficult to treat the wound because of the hair." Request permission to shave their heads. If there are formal occasions in the future, soldiers can be allowed to wear wigs." The second thing is "Many naval soldiers have not been married in the army for many years. The request is to allow navy officers and soldiers to get married at the station and does not restrict Manchus, Han, Mongolian intermarriage. " " Li Hongzhang really did it twice, so he handled the Queen Mother's affairs without revealing anything. When I went up, I didn't expect that both of them were approved. But it is okay to shave off the first pigtail, but they emphasize that if there is any ceremonial event, you must wear fake pigtails. The second article also has a condition, that is, it can only be officers and soldiers on warships, but this is not the case for officers and soldiers on land. Li Hongzhang looked a little dumbfounded and said to Ding Ruchang: "That's it. They have finally made some concessions. It is not easy to approve this article. Finally there has been some progress and it is better than the original." Ding Ruchang smiled bitterly. Said: "This can be considered as taking advantage of General Li, otherwise this would be impossible. I can't believe that this young man has changed our navy officers and soldiers a lot." Li Hongzhang asked Ding Ruchang again about his new style. Ding Ruchang reported on the manufacturing situation of gunpowder shells that they were now manufacturing in large quantities. The one million taels of silver given by Li Zhenhua was specifically for this purpose. After the Chinese New Year, it would take half a year to complete all the changes. "In addition, we carried out large-scale raids in Lushun and Weihai, and captured many Japanese and escaped a few Japanese. We also had some people in the army who were bribed by them and provided them with a lot of information about our navy. I have already I ordered them all to be dealt with. I'm afraid it will cause some diplomatic disputes in the future. I'll ask Master Zhongtang to punish them." "Forget it, we can't let those people live in the world, so as to prevent them from leaking secrets in the future. Pay attention to keeping secrets. No matter what, we will not let them continue to obtain our information. If there is a war with Japan in the future, it will be very detrimental to us. Fortunately, that person is thousands of miles away. If it weren't for him, we would still be kept in the dark. It was a great achievement that we were able to eliminate the Japanese spies once. But we must be careful not to let the Japanese get any of our information in the future." "Sir Nakat¨, I guarantee with my life that I will never let any information from other countries again. People have obtained our information." Because the spy matter was shady, the Japanese did not say anything on the surface, but they stepped up their naval construction and added two more divisions to the army. Li Zhenhua was very busy these days before the year before. He held a banquet with the scientific and technological workers. Those who came to the banquet were all his own people, including You Xuushi, Qiao Delu, Huang Jianxin, Gao Qiang, Xie Zuantai, Zhan Tianyou, Ding Jixian and their wives. They also came. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin appeared among the people. They are all high-level intellectuals in China. They had no chance to serve the country because they had no belief in serving the country. Now, because of Li Zhenhua's appearance, they have been given a chance to show their abilities. They all devoted themselves to the stage. It can be said that China's intellectuals are really no better than they do not require a good or bad working environment. As long as they can carry out necessary research work, they are satisfied. They think that they are a thousand-mile horse, and Li Zhenhua has become a Bole who can recognize them. They all have a grateful attitude towards Li Zhenhua. They all work hard like Zhan Tianyou, who is so tired that he is deformed, which makes Li Zhenhua very heartbroken and helpless. It's better to get angry with him and just tell him that if you don't care about your body anymore, you will be thrown into the school to teach and you will not be allowed to work anymore. When Zhan Tianyou heard this, he had to bow his head and admit defeat. Not only Zhan Tianyou but other scientific and technical personnel are also the same. They don't even bother to eat and rest when they work. Therefore, Li Zhenhua often advises them and sometimes directly gives them orders. Li Zhenhua treats these people as treasures. This will be his future. A rich country and a strong army are simply not as good as theirs. If they cannot advance in science and technology, they will fall behind, and if they fall behind, they will be beaten. This is something he has known for a long time. Therefore, he does his best to improve the working environment, rest and living places of these people. Come and get it done. They each have a placeNow there is no problem in working and living in the villa. These people have all installed electric lights in their homes. Although the power supply is very tight now, we cannot treat these people badly no matter what. It's just that the shopping environment is a little worse, but as long as they say it, they will be satisfied. They don't lack anything, and all daily necessities are fully prepared for them. Each person has a dedicated guard platoon to protect them and at the same time. There are some dedicated waiters who serve them in their daily lives. These people have regarded Li Zhenhua as their friend. They like to communicate with him no matter what problems they have. Whether it is problems in life or work, they can talk about them together. You must know that Li Zhenhua is also a genuine college student. His knowledge is very important. People like them know more. When they are together, they still talk about their work a lot. But this time there are people from all walks of life, so it is not easy to talk about individual things but about comprehensive issues. What do you like to communicate when you are together? What are the new things in the international field? Another thing appeared, someone in a certain country invented something, etc. In order to meet the needs of these people, Li Zhenhua specially subscribed to various popular publications. To keep abreast of the latest things in the world, you cannot just follow others. The lives of these people are now very fulfilling. Many of them have done it. In addition to his own necessary work, he also needs to improve the knowledge and quality of his staff. Text Chapter 68 Chinese New Year Chapter 68 Chinese New Year There is an amateur school set up in the arsenal, which teaches more about ballistic theory, wind resistance, steel quality, etc., which are all related to the naval shipyard. They have to learn hydrology, meteorology, steel, welding, etc. theory and practice. The most typical of these is Zhan Tianyou¡¯s school, which has the largest number of students. He has hundreds of students designing, surveying, bridges, hydrology, earthworks, pressure resistance, etc. He plans to complete the railway from Fangcheng to Nanning this year and start construction of the railway from Nanning to Kunming in the second half of the year, and start construction of the railway from Nanning to Guangzhou next year. Anyway, my big boss has a lot of money, which requires a large number of young engineering and technical personnel to be able to step onto the front line and shoulder the heavy responsibilities themselves. Li Zhenhua is also very concerned about their school. He often comes as a guest teacher to give lectures. He does not talk about relevant technical issues, but talks about why China's modern history is always bullied by foreign powers and from a historical perspective. How to avoid being bullied by them. His class has a great promotion effect on students of this era and is very popular among workers and students. At the end of the banquet, Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "I prepared another gift for everyone. Unfortunately, it didn't arrive before the New Year, so I had to wait until after the New Year to give it to you." Everyone said that they had received the boss's New Year's gift and nothing else. No more. Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "That's no good. No one can do without it. It represents the image of our company. Besides, you will definitely like it when you see it in the future." On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, people were already on holiday. Li Zhenhua invited foreigners who were in Fangcheng again. The experts held a banquet. Those foreigners did not have Chinese customs and habits, but they were very happy to be with this young and knowledgeable boss. If they had any problems in life, work, etc., they could just find his head. Everything was solved and there was never any sloppiness. Discussing some academic issues with him can always yield varying degrees of gain. This is also an important reason why foreign experts are willing to associate with him. Li Zhenhua pays great attention to the life of foreigners and specially hires chefs who can cook Western food for them. He has personally seen the fruits he buys for them. They must be fresh and taste. He also wants to taste them personally. Many experts like to eat sweets. The sugar here in Fangcheng was not sweet enough, so he specially brought them sugar from other places. Later, he specially introduced excellent sugar cane varieties and established a sugar factory, which could increase his income. On the first day of the new year, more than a dozen workers in the factory had a holiday. They had worked hard for a year and they had to take a few days off. The factory informed them that they would have a total of five days of holiday. Before, I had never known that such a thing existed for me. There is no need to give foreigners a holiday when doing it. There is no such thing as a Chinese New Year. If they don't let you off, you can't take a break. Why bother with a holiday when you can¡¯t even eat enough? It¡¯s different now. Ever since I arrived in Fangcheng, I have been able to receive white money every month. This was my income in the past year. Now, one year is my income in the past ten years, and I have never been in arrears. The leaders of the factory said that everyone who continues to work here during the Chinese New Year will have to pay processing fees. During the Chinese New Year, every worker was given rice, cakes and pork. These things were previously unimaginable and have now been realized. The leaders of the factory also asked everyone if they had any difficulties during the Chinese New Year. Even if there were difficulties in their hometown, they needed help. The factory also advocated that everyone should hold entertainment activities during the Chinese New Year. People didn't understand it at the time. But when someone suggested that they want to hold a dragon boat race, the officials in the factory immediately took out the money and asked people to buy materials. They made a set of clothes for each team member and gave overtime pay to those who worked overtime to make the dragon boats. When these people went back and told the elderly and wives at home, why were they not allowed to pay overtime? Because you are just having fun on your own, why should the public pay you? If it is unreasonable, you should not take this money. Every worker who comes here is given a set of clothes as soon as they enter. They say these are work clothes, but these clothes are better than Chinese New Year clothes. This is not the first year of junior high school. There are many people wearing work clothes to celebrate the New Year. It used to be just a small fishing village on the seaside of Fangcheng. There were a few fishermen's families and there were only a few dozen households in total. Now there are more than a dozen large factories here. People from all over the place have started working here. People from all over the place have quickly developed it into shipyards, arsenals, Terminals, railways, schools, shops, hospitals, etc. When everyone is on holiday, you usually don't see many people on the streets, but now even the wide streets seem much narrower. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin went to the employee dormitories of various factories to pay New Year greetings to people. After such a long period of construction, the workers and dormitories have also been built. Most of them are "tongzi buildings". There are about ten families living on one floor. They share two kitchens and two toilets. For public health, they take turns making a wooden board on each side. The word "duty" is written on it. Every week when the day comes, people will start cleaning and flushing the toilets and keep them clean during the week. The person who now enters Li Zhenhua¡¯s eyesWe are very different from before. It turns out that the people here are poorly fed and malnourished. Their faces have a sluggish look. It is even worse to wear clothes. They are all in tatters. Look, everyone has a smile on their face now. My clothes are better than before. They are completely new from the inside out. Not only do I have clothes for home, but I also have clothes for going to work. In the factory, I also have to wear work clothes. People didn't expect that the biggest official here would come to pay them New Year greetings, which surprised them all. This was impossible before, but today people have seen that people's happy life today is all brought by him. With two taels of silver a year, everyone can In an era where people can live a subsistence life, people can earn money in one month that they could only earn in a year. Doesn't this make them happy? Seeing that more and more people were gathering together, Li Zhenhua simply stood on a high place to worship together with everyone, and then said to everyone: "Our lives are much better now, but in order for the people across the country to live a good life, we must work harder." Work makes our lives better." Li Zhenhua's words received warm applause from people. People bid farewell to their beloved leader with great admiration. Text Chapter 69 Defending the City Chapter 69: Fangcheng City In the afternoon, Li Zhenhua and his party arrived at the pier of the military port again. The bands on several warships here had all gathered together. They played a welcome song together. A red carpet was laid from the roadside to the warship's string ladder. Commander of the Fleet Deng Shichang and all the sailors of the navy stood here to greet their supreme commander. The new military uniforms made the young sailors look so energetic. The sailors kept the port area spotless. As soon as Li Zhenhua arrived, Deng Shichang immediately greeted him. He first raised his hands to Li Zhenhua and the band played music, which made Li Zhenhua feel a little bit. Modern atmosphere Accompanied by Deng Shichang, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin boarded the warship. Before the warship, they had to salute the military flag on the warship. Li Zhenhua saw that the mental outlook of the clean and tidy personnel on the warship was very different from before. Li Zhenhua admired Deng Shichang very much for leading the troops. For a while, his role in the Beiyang Navy was not shown. Looking at Deng Shichang and Li Zhenhua, who were wearing new military uniforms, they felt happy from the bottom of their hearts. If they met someone, they would look at each other. This was very different from the one he wore in the Qing Dynasty navy uniform. The warship I'm looking at is the original French heavy cruiser "Triumph", which has now been renamed "Taishan". Its displacement is 4,500 tons and its speed has now reached 20 knots. The main gun is 260 mm, with two guns at the front and rear. It is fully The armor coverage turns out to be not that good for this warship. It has been vigorously modified by our own naval shipyard. It is already much stronger than Japan's Sankei ship. Even the rate of fire of the main gun is much faster than them. Four years later, as long as it fights with the Japanese, it will appear behind the Japanese. Even if it is surrounded by Japanese warships, it can break out on its own. The other two "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River" Li Zhenhua just put They are used as training ships and at the same time to escort some cargo ships. Those old-fashioned wooden hulls cannot go into battle. If they go into battle, it will only be a waste of the lives of officers and soldiers. Otherwise it would be a nightmare for the enemy. Seeing the changes that have taken place in Fangcheng, Li Zhenhua feels that there needs to be a unified plan for the Fangcheng area. It is necessary to establish a government department to conduct unified management of all enterprises and departments, such as centralized water supply, urban drainage network, street layout, area division, etc. There must be a specialized agency to manage this. It cannot be like the grassroots governments of later generations who stipulate regulations one by one today and immediately overthrow and re-plan when people are replaced tomorrow. From now on, there must be a long-term plan. After returning, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin said: "You have also seen today that our Fangcheng has expanded a lot. It will be further expanded in the future. Now there should be a special government agency to manage this place. Who do you think should be managed? Okay?" Wang Xin smiled and said, "Have you thought about it?" "You know me, Madam," Li Zhenhua said jokingly. "What a mouthful." Wang Xin lightly hit her beloved son-in-law with her fist: "Just tell me what you think." "I'm considering letting Zhao Hongyan manage this place, what do you think?" "I also think she should be allowed to do so. It¡¯s the most suitable one to manage it.¡± ¡°This is really a marriage between husband and wife. It was settled as soon as the two of them talked about it. They immediately called Zhao Hongyan and told her that she happily agreed and let her go around and recruit people to form her own team. The first set of government teams was henceforth called the Fangcheng City Government. Any new local projects in the future must be approved by the municipal government and planned uniformly to avoid duplication of construction and unreasonable planning. In the future, taxation, public security, police, justice, etc. will all be managed from here. In order to supervise this organization, Li Zhenhua decided to invite some famous people to serve as councilors to supervise and guide the work here. Li Zhenhua discussed with Wang Xin and asked Wang Chi and Feng Zicai to come here. One is to come here to take a look. Give your opinions on various tasks and ask them to go to the hospital here for a physical check-up. According to the original situation, these two people have passed away due to health reasons in recent years. Check their bodies to see if they have any problems. Preventing them in advance can help them live longer. several years. Originally, we wanted them to wait until the railway was repaired before coming back, but now that we have to establish the first political authority here, we have to let them come in advance. It is good for the health to check in advance. In his third year of junior high school, Li Zhenhua decided to go to Guangzhou to communicate with local foreign banks to see how their banks operate, and then his own bank would start preparing. This time Li Zhenhua went by passenger ship. It was sailing in his own inland sea. He didn't have anything to worry about. However, Deng Shichang felt it was inappropriate and proposed that he personally take the "Taishan" to Guangzhou. Li Zhenhua thought it was just a training for the navy anyway, so he agreed and soon they arrived in Guangzhou. Through his own branch, he found several Chinese compradors from foreign banks and invited them to have a drink together, and everyone started talking about bank issues. ?Several of them said that the current role of foreign banks is to absorb deposits, loans, off-site settlement, etc. If we want to set up a bank, the main things we need to pay attention to are two points: first, if the reputation is good, no one will come to the door; if not, no one will come; second, we must have sufficient silver (gold) as a capital reserve, otherwise in case of a run, it will be over. During operation, we must pay attention to the fact that the loan cannot become a dead loan. If there are several companies like that, your own funds will not be able to circulate, and it will end up being closed down and bankrupt. Thirdly, if you want to carry out off-site settlement, you must have your own branch. If you want to recruit bank manpower, it is not difficult to find Liru Bank, the first British bank to enter China. In the past few years, they withdrew their original people and let other banks poach some of them. Some people are now unemployed. Guangzhou and Hong Kong have their original people. people. A comprador from Citibank in the United States said: "There was a comprador in Hong Kong named Jincheng who was then a member of the British Liru Bank. He was quite capable and very upright. Over the past few years, many people had asked him to come out. "But I think Mr. Li will definitely give me face if he comes forward to do so." Even the emperor and the queen mother don't give face to the high officials of the Qing Dynasty. You just want to make the country rich and strong, but you are closer to the people than anyone else. Now people admire you very much." Li Zhenhua said with a smile. : "I'm so good. Everyone looks up to me." Text Chapter 70 Bank Manager Chapter 70 Bank Manager A few days later, Li Zhenhua came to Hong Kong and found the man Jincheng the compradors were talking about. When the two met, when Li Zhenhua said his name, Mr. Jincheng fell down and worshiped. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. He Jincheng asked Li Zhenhua to sit down and asked: "Master Li, what are you doing here?" "Mr. Jin, you should have thought as soon as I came here that I was determined to open a bank of our own as a Chinese. That's it. I¡¯m here to ask you to come out.¡± ¡°Master Li, I have an obligation to do this, but I have an agreement with the British: I will not get involved in the banking industry in the next twenty years.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°The British withdrew their capital a few years ago. They asked me to go to India with them. I didn¡¯t want to go, so they told me that if I didn¡¯t go to India, I would not be able to participate in the business of other banks.¡± ¡°I agreed at that time, so whenever someone came to ask me to come out. I have already declined. Now that you are here, I will not break the agreement with the British." Li Zhenhua laughed loudly: "Mr. Jin, you are such a good person." "Why are you laughing, Mr. Li?" It's true that you are faithfully abiding by the agreement, but have you seriously thought about it? " "" "Sir, the British have invaded and occupied our Hong Kong many times, and they have gone further and further. The press has never given us any credibility," Li Zhenhua said: "In 1840, the first British troops landed on Hong Kong and they declared their occupation of Hong Kong. In 1842, the British troops forced the Qing government in Nanjing to cede Hong Kong and at the same time cede the Yangtze River Basin. In October 1860, they forcibly annexed Kowloon. Have they given up? They are still trying to further occupy our territory. So, when did they tell us anything? "Do you have any credibility?" Jincheng said: "What you said is true. They are seizing our territory again and again." "They are now supporting the Japanese to expand their navy to attack our Chinese territory. It is already very dangerous. Every one of our passionate Chinese sons and daughters must work hard to enrich the country and strengthen its military. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country." Li Zhenhua began to become a little anxious. "But" Jincheng said: "I am a scholar who can't carry a basket or lift a basket. What can I do for the country?" Is there any use for you?" "It's difficult, sir. I haven't thought about revitalizing China, but the country is so dark and the court is so ignorant and ignorant. How can we tolerate it?" "Sir, I have wanted to revitalize China in recent years. Among the many people in China, Lin Zexu, General Guan Tianpei, who once banned smoking in Guangzhou, Feng Zicai, and Liu Yongfu, who bravely resisted the law in Zhennanguan, are all our role models. I won¡¯t say much about others, but I and some of my friends. Even if they want to revitalize the Chinese court and give me a "Yunnan General", I don't like it, but I will show no mercy to the French army. Now I want to establish a Chinese bank, and now I want my husband to come out and work for me. I am in charge of this work, but I wonder if Mr. Li is willing to come out?" Li Zhenhua went straight to the point. Hearing this, Jincheng's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again: "My lord, I'm just afraid that if I don't get involved in these businesses for a long time, I might miss your big deal." "That's fine, as long as you are willing to go out and help me. "My lord, you have great confidence in me." "Yes, there is no one in Guangzhou or Hong Kong who doesn't know Mr. Jin's talent." Jincheng's ambition has been aroused by Li Zhenhua. When I got up, I saw him standing up and bowing to Li Zhenhua: "Thanks to your great love, I am willing to do my best for you. Please forgive me if I fall short in the future." Li Zhenhua also stood up and said: "It seems that you are interested in me. We still know too little about it. Now we have gathered a large number of patriots who are willing to dedicate themselves to our Chinese nation. It is our luck that Mr. joined us, so let¡¯s fight together.¡± Jincheng said inside. He said, "I'm going to leave with Mr. Li, and you will take care of the house." Li Zhenhua hurriedly stopped Jincheng and said, "Why don't you just ask your sister-in-law to go with you? I can wait for two days." "No, I'm already waiting. The plan is less than a year away and we can¡¯t delay it any longer.¡± ¡°Well, let my people help Madam take care of it and we can take the first step.¡± Jincheng is an expert. When he arrived in Guangzhou, he immediately started arranging everything in the bank. There is no good way to recruit people and then train those people.No job in the labor team can be done well. Some of the original personnel have returned to Jincheng's subordinates and a group of new people have also joined. At that time, people were relatively easy to find. From now on, it will be up to you how to train them. The next step was to choose a suitable storefront. Jincheng looked at Liru's original office building. That building is now idle and no one is going to use it. Jincheng means that you British people can't do it. We will definitely be able to do it. Furthermore, it turns out that it is British. The building itself was designed by bank personnel. They took into account the characteristics of bank buildings, such as the security measures of underground vaults. Other houses do not have these facilities. If they are rebuilt, it will take a long time. Secondly, it will be difficult to choose an address and the cost will be higher. Why not save money and time in this way? During this period, he asked Li Zhenhua how much money he planned to invest. Li Zhenhua asked him how much gold he needed and said, "At least one million taels should be prepared." Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "Well, I will prepare a specific amount of 1.5 million taels for you." It's entirely up to you to run the business. Let me know how much you need in the future. The money has already been deposited in Tianshunxiang's company and you can use it at any time. Then I will go back to Fangcheng to discuss the next step. The matter of issuing silver coins. "Jincheng said in his heart that this owner is really a businessman. The British did not have such a big hand when they opened Liru, and he completely delegated power to himself and made him fully responsible. It seems that he is reassured that he has heard from those under him that all the companies there are in this way and that the top leaders appointed by him are responsible for them without any interference at all. Jincheng Xin said that if this was the case, who wouldn't risk their lives to work for him? Dear readers and friends, please support me. I will not recommend anything next week. Clicking, collecting, and recommending are all your greatest help. Thank you all. Text Chapter 71: Troops in Nanyang Chapter 71: The War to Nanyang After Li Zhenhua returned to Fangcheng, a staff officer brought two pieces of intelligence that had just been received. Li Zhenhua looked at the content and his expression immediately changed. It turned out that it read: There are signs that something may happen in Indonesia in the near future. Large-scale persecution of Chinese and overseas Chinese. We feel that the Dutch are behind this. The Qing government would not care if something like this happened. They had already regarded those who went abroad privately as abandoned citizens. However, as Li Zhenhua, he could not ignore it. He knew how cruelly those Indonesian monkeys treated Chinese and overseas Chinese. He regards countries in Southeast Asia as his own place. He knows that in the early days, the Chinese accounted for more than 20% of the total population in Indonesia, but in modern times, only 5%. Where have all those people gone? Were they not all tortured to death? The "Red Creek" incident recorded in history is not a place name, but the blood of those overseas Chinese turned the creek red. Later generations of the accused called it the "Red Creek Massacre". Those overseas Chinese are our compatriots. When we first started, they supported us selflessly. Now that they are in trouble, we must help them. We must not let them shed their blood in vain in a foreign country. If we have some ability, we must help them. We must not let those hateful indigenous people brutally kill our compatriots. Li Zhenhua immediately notified his military personnel to hold a meeting. He wanted to communicate his ideas with them and prepare to help his compatriots in foreign countries. Liu Yongqiang, Wei Xiaohu, Wang Yonggang, Deng Shichang, Sa Zhenbing, Liu Hai and others from the Navy came to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua asked them to look at the intelligence from abroad. None of these people were afraid of foreigners. As soon as they heard that their compatriots would be bullied by foreigners, they immediately became angry. Deng Shichang immediately said that the navy would immediately set off to Indonesia to protect Chinese and overseas Chinese. Several members of the army also expressed that they must protect their compatriots from being bullied by the Dutch and local indigenous people. Seeing everyone's urgent mood, Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "These are our relatives whose blood is thicker than water. After we defeated the French army, they gave us a large amount of money to support us. We can't forget them. Now let's make arrangements. Let's send out a team first." The advance team will set off with a warship to escort the army soldiers. Commander Deng, please prepare the necessary supplies for the warships and merchant ships." Deng Shichang immediately agreed, "Yes." Then Li Zhenhua left. He said to Liu Yongqiang: "Wei Xiaohu, you are responsible for the security work at home. As the deputy commander-in-chief of this operation, the advance team can only be a regiment of troops. Wang Yonggang, you prepare the materials needed later and set off as the second echelon. The same is the first team." "A warship plus a merchant ship transporting troops and a ship transporting supplies." The two of them agreed to start preparations immediately. Li Zhenhua also convened a meeting with other people staying at home to explain that they should pay attention to the defense work to prevent any harm to themselves. When Wang Xin saw that Li Zhenhua was going out again, she said with some worry: "You have to be careful this time. You don't have many people with you in such a far place, but you must pay attention to safety." "The little girl's eye circles turned red again. Li Zhenhua said: "Don't worry, there won't be any big battle this time. The indigenous people have no fighting power, let alone the Dutch. They can only be beaten by our army. "Hearing Li Zhenhua's words, Wang Xin also felt that they had nothing, but she was worried after all. But she didn't say anything, so she had to prepare some necessary things for Li Zhenhua. On the dock of the military port, the "Taishan" is undergoing final inspections. Two merchant ships have also docked at the dock, and an infantry regiment has arrived. They are also making final preparations. Some heavy weapons have already begun to be loaded onto the ship. Due to time constraints, they only carried some mortars and not heavy artillery. Each soldier has his own sidearm, grenades, bullets, engineer shovel, and water bottle. Each soldier also has a backpack with some rainproof things. The division hospital has also arrived and is expected to provide medical treatment to some overseas Chinese. They also bring a lot of medicines. The troops quickly boarded the warships and merchant ships. The whistles were blasting and the huge propellers were turning. The tails of the warships and merchant ships pulled out a long trace and sailed into the distance. The captain of the "Taishan" was Liu Hai at this time. He was asking Li Zhenhua. Introducing some things about this voyage, the whole journey is 1,800 nautical miles. At ten nautical miles per hour, it will take about seven days. He was very anxious and wished he could reach Batavia in one step. However, considering the speed of the merchant ship, he did not. The only solution was to slowly follow the merchant ship. On the first merchant ship, Wei Xiaohu, as the deputy commander, was also very anxious. After the captain finished introducing the situation to him, he said to the captain: "You just drive the ship as fast as possible. Our compatriots in Indonesia can We are eager to see him. How can he arrive one day earlier?They would have been rescued one day earlier. Don't forget that people regard us as their saviors. The captain said to him: "I understand that those are our Chinese people and we cannot let them suffer. I must get there faster." "The captain ran to the engine room and went to find the chief engineer to discuss it. The captain is usually a very steady person, but today he also accelerated his speed. After running to the engine room, he said to the chief engineer: "Old man, our How fast can this ship travel for a long time without causing any problems? "The chief engineer is a very experienced middle-aged man. He immediately said: "Our fastest speed is fifteen knots. Now we can sail at a speed of fourteen knots for five hours, then sail at a speed of twelve knots for two hours, and then speed up to ten knots. For a voyage of four knots and five hours, we can probably keep it above thirteen knots and reach Batavia in just over six days. "After the discussion between the two, the merchant ship increased its speed and moved forward at a speed of fourteen knots. They sent out semaphore signals to the ships and warships behind. The merchant ships and warships behind saw that the merchant ship in front was speeding up and at the same time received their semaphore signals. They were adjusting their speed, so they also increased their speed and closely followed the merchant ship in front. Text Chapter 72 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are Chapter 72 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are. On the fifth day, their fleet has arrived in Singkawang City, Malaysia. The fleet is going to be replenished here. The fleet has entered the port to be replenished. Due to the emergency, no one has gone ashore. Li Zhenhua is using a telescope on the warship. Looking into the distance, it was a tropical scene. A man dressed as a local asked to get on the warship, but the sentry stopped him. Li Zhenhua knew that someone wanted to report the situation to the warship. He was observing there from the warship. After a while, a sentry came up and reported that a local intelligence officer was going to board the warship and asked to see the top leader Li Zhenhua. He immediately asked the sentry to bring him up. The man knew Li Zhenhua and immediately reported to him: "Chief, I am stationed in Indonesia. I am an intelligence officer entrusted by Indonesia to wait here to report to you." Li Zhenhua immediately took him to his cabin and asked him to sit down for the report. He hesitated and finally sat down and said, "Now. The situation in Indonesia is very bad. We sent two more reports to our families. I guess you didn¡¯t receive them on the way.¡± Li Zhenhua said to him, ¡°Tell me everything you know about the situation.¡± He poured a glass of water and asked him not to worry and spoke slowly. It turns out that the situation in Indonesia is already bad. The locals are not willing to work at all because they are lazy by nature, so their living conditions are very poor. However, our overseas Chinese have always been diligent and hardworking and live a frugal life. Most of their lives are very good. This has caused One aspect that the locals are jealous of is one of the reasons for the local persecution of Chinese. In addition, as the international status of the Netherlands continues to decline, the original coachmen in the world are no longer good. The management of the East India Company below them is also in decline (the Dutch East India Company is not commercial or industrial in nature, they are actually a political one). The ruling body), their income was declining, but they were very jealous when they saw the money going into the pockets of the Chinese, so they instigated the local indigenous people to start robbing the Chinese people's finances. Their police and soldiers also participated, and it developed into riots. Nowadays, many Chinese people are killed by them every day. At the same time, a large number of Chinese women are insulted by them. Their atrocities are becoming more and more intense, and they even do not spare some children. Our intelligence personnel are too small to organize an effective struggle. Now we can only organize them to escape. However, some of our intelligence personnel have sacrificed their lives to protect the local people. The intelligence agent shed tears as he spoke. At this time, a guard came in and reported: "Several ships have been replenished and we can set off now." Li Zhenhua waved his hand: "Set off immediately and order the warships to move forward at the fastest speed. The merchant ships behind them must also move at the fastest speed. "Li Zhenhua asked again: "Where is the most serious situation now?" "It is mainly Batavia in Indonesia that is the most serious." The intelligence officer replied. "Guard!" "Arrived!" "Inform Commander Deng that the warship is rushing to Batavia quickly!" "Yes!" After leaving the port, the warship quickly increased its speed to twenty knots. The wind was roaring in the sea. The wind was very cool, but Li Zhenhua's heart felt like it was on fire. He wished he could fly to Batavia in one step. One night passed and the warship was approaching Batavia. From the telescope, I could see that the land was full of billowing smoke and it was getting closer. The soldiers were ready for battle. There were not many troops on the warship. Apart from the sailors, only Li Zhenhua's There are more than 100 guards, a company of only more than 200 combat troops, and the doctors and nurses who belong to the hospital. But Li Zhenhua didn't care about this. He wanted his soldiers to teach those Indonesian monkeys a lesson before rescuing some people. Li Zhenhua walked up to the deck, pointed at the thick smoke in the distance and said to everyone: "Have you seen that, those damn Indonesians are burning our brothers' houses, and they are still killing people. They are killing our own brothers. Come down later." From now on, you will teach them a lesson as a class and let them know that anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are." "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away we are." The warship with the red dragon flag flying high entered the port with a beautiful move. The soldiers rushed down the gangway and arrived at the port. A squad leader shouted: "Follow me from the fifth class!" Immediately a dozen soldiers followed. After going up, groups of soldiers rushed out of the dock and rushed towards the city. But the guard company commander Li Biao left a platoon of soldiers behind. He was responsible for protecting the safety of his leader, but Li Zhenhua ignored him and began to rush outside. Li Biao had no choice but to leave two squads to guard here and he rushed forward with a squad of guards to protect Li Zhenhua. At this time, the entire city of Batavia was in smoke and fire. Those Indonesian monkeys that looked like monkeys were seen.They are holding sticks, big knives and iron guns in their hands and carrying snatched packages on their backs. They are chasing Chinese people. As long as they are Chinese, they are the target of their killing. Although they are usually very lazy, at this time, none of them are willing to fall behind. They are rushing to rush forward. A thug in front held a wooden stick and hit an old man who was about to run away. At this time, a gunshot was heard. The monkey fell to the ground and kicked his legs twice. The soldiers rushed up and beat the old man. He put it on his back and ran towards the dock. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, follow me and run to the pier quickly." When the people behind him saw it and hurriedly ran away, they saw the dragon flag fluttering in the wind. They saw someone directing the watch. Many people began to run towards the pier. The dragon flag flying high was people's hope. When they saw the dragon flag, people felt in their hearts that they had been saved. At the same time, they were no longer afraid. It turned out that it was under the control of the Dutch. At first, it was just a disturbance to some Chinese-owned shops, but then it turned into open robbery. Then it became more and more violent. They started raping women and also started killing people. In order to cover up their crimes, they started to set fire to Chinese shops, houses, warehouses, etc. At first, only a few organized people were carrying out sabotage. Later, more people spontaneously rose up and all Chinese were harassed. Now the whole situation is out of control. Text Chapter 73 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (2) Chapter 73 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (2) "Boom", "Boom" Suddenly the cannon on the warship opened fire. It turned out that Deng Shichang on the warship found that there were a lot of Indonesian monkeys in one place and they were very rampant, so he ordered his men to The gunners fired. When they saw the shells exploding there, more infantry soldiers rushed over. They knew there must be a lot of monkeys there. Their charge made Deng Shichang dare not fire because he was afraid of hitting his own people on the head. Those Indonesian monkeys did not realize at first that they had fallen under the gun of the Chinese. They thought that these Chinese were the same as the original Chinese. They wanted to continue to use big sticks on them, but they did not expect those The soldiers were not ordinary ferocious and did not give them any time to breathe. From a distance, they saw them raise the guns in their hands and there was a "bang" sound. Someone on their side fell down immediately. They were all stunned at the back. The Indonesian monkeys didn't know what was going on. They continued to rush forward, but more gunshots rang out and they started to scatter with a cry. Want to run? It's not that easy. The long-term training of the warriors would not be in vain if they were allowed to run away. The warriors quickly chased after them and beat them until they were on their backs. A group of pursuing soldiers discovered that some of them in uniforms were also robbing the Chinese. This time they imitated the smart people and did not kill them but captured them and took them back to Pakistan. Thousands of Chinese and overseas Chinese have gathered at the port of Davia. As soon as they saw the captured people, they all rushed up to beat and kick them without caring about anything. The soldiers finally persuaded them and took the soldiers and police aside and handed them over to the sailors on the warship for supervision. Now due to the appearance of the Chinese, the situation in the port area has begun to stabilize. Some Chinese have seen the dragon flag on the warships. They are also concentrating here. The soldiers have also captured some Indonesians who took the initiative to lay down their weapons and surrender. Again, because of their own people There were only more than 200 people in total, and they couldn't stay too far away from their warships. They slowly came back, but the atrocities of the Indonesian monkeys continued in the distance. By this time, Li Zhenhua had returned to the dock. Some Chinese saw that Li Zhenhua was the leader. They came over and knelt on the ground to cry to Li Zhenhua and complain about the atrocities committed by the Indonesians against them. Several old people were kneeling in front. Their bodies were covered in blood, and they didn't know whether it was their own or that of their relatives. When Li Zhenhua saw this scene, his lungs were about to explode. He asked the guards to help those people up quickly. Now what he was thinking about was how to stop the atrocities of the Indonesians as soon as possible. The most important thing was that he didn't have a good idea now. While turning rapidly, he suddenly saw those people in uniforms, so he shouted: "Guards!" Several soldiers next to him immediately stood in front of him: "Here!" "Take those few Bring me the ones wearing dog skins!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Several soldiers ran towards the police and soldiers. The two of them picked up several people like catching chickens and threw them to the ground. The boy screamed "Wow!" in pain. "Who are you?" Li Zhenhua asked with a dark face. Those guys saw Li Zhenhua talking, but they didn't understand what he was talking about. They just stared at him with their eyes. At this time, a middle-aged Chinese man on the side came over and said, "Sir, they don't understand your question. I will explain it to them." "Translate." "Okay, please translate. Who is he? What is his position?" The middle-aged man asked him again. The guy said it again. "Sir, he said he is from the Batavia City Police Department. He is in charge of security and his name is Turs." "Damn it! You can't call me Rabbit." A soldier cursed at the side. Li Zhenhua went up and slapped and cursed with two big mouths: "Who are you in charge of public security? You came to rob him and asked who ordered him." Li Zhenhua, who usually never stops training, slapped this kid in the face with these two slaps. It became swollen and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He covered it with his hands and then lowered them, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, still screaming. "My lord, he said that their director asked them to come." "Tell me! Who is your director?" "Lift." "Where is he now?" "He should be in the Governor's Mansion now." Li Zhenhua immediately ordered: " "First Company Commander, you are responsible for guarding the prisoners here. Commander Deng, you are responsible for taking care of these villagers here." Several Chinese young men came over and said, "We will lead the way for you." Let¡¯s go!¡±A group of soldiers went straight to the Governor's Mansion with murderous intent. Here, the company commander began to arrange his soldiers for security work. He sent some soldiers to the outside of the dock to start guarding against others coming in. At the same time, he was also responsible for bringing those Chinese who were attacked to the port dock. Deng Shichang immediately began to organize the unloading of relevant supplies, medicines, food, tents, weapons, ammunition, etc. from the warship. At the same time, he asked the cooks on the warship to start cooking. Before the soldiers had time to eat, they rushed up. At the same time, those who had suffered so much were rushed in. Most of our Chinese compatriots may not have eaten. The young man on the road told Li Zhenhua that his name was Ou Zhiyuan, a small businessman. In this riot, his father, mother and newlywed wife were all killed. They also burned down a small shop of his. What is he now? They were all gone. If it hadn't been for the warships sent by the motherland to provide disaster relief, they would have probably been doomed. Li Zhenhua sympathized with Ou Zhiyuan's experience. He asked Ou Zhiyuan to translate first. Ou Zhiyuan readily agreed. The Governor's Palace of the Netherlands was not far from the port. Soon he arrived at a small European-style building in front of him. Outside was a There were Dutch soldiers standing guard in front of the courtyard wall. As soon as they saw a group of Chinese approaching, they immediately picked up their guns and shouted: "Who are they? Don't come near." "Bang" and "Bang" were heard. At the feet of the two sentries, the two sentries were startled when they saw them. Who was this person? He was so experienced. He came up and beat them, but they were not allowed to do anything. Several guards and soldiers had already rushed up and fired their guns. He took the gun in his hand and pointed it at them and said: "Be honest and don't move if you want to live." A few more soldiers came out of the door, but they couldn't do anything under the guns of the soldiers. Li Biao grabbed an officer by the collar and said to him: "Hurry up and take us to see the governor!" Seeing the guns pointed at him, the officer was frightened and hurriedly led people inside. The other Dutch soldiers caught sight of him. If someone catches them, no one dares to move and watches them walk towards the building. Text Chapter 74 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (3) Chapter 74 Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away (3) In the large living room of the Governor's Palace, the Governor Duke of Bordeaux, the local police chief Lift, the garrison commander Major Malita and some local indigenous nobles and officials were drinking. They don't care at all about the situation outside. What's so great about the death of a few Chinese people? They are all abandoned citizens of the Qing Dynasty. They are people without a motherland. Even if they have a motherland, no one will care about their life or death. There was a bang and the door was kicked open. A group of Chinese rushed in. A young man who was obviously the leader finally walked in. Those people were stunned. Police Chief Lift and Major Malita were shaken when they saw it. As they walked up in a daze, they opened their mouths and cursed: "You guys with pigtails" Two crisp sounds of "papa" were heard and it turned out that they had all been slapped hard on the face. With a wave of Li Zhenhua's hand, the soldiers rushed forward, pushed those people to the ground, and beat them hard with rifle butts and kicks, beating them until they were all crying and howling. The guards outside the Governor's Mansion had long been frightened. They ran to the side. These people were so experienced that they dared to beat anyone. Governors, commanders, and directors were nothing in their eyes. . When Li Zhenhua saw that the fight was almost over, he raised his gun and fired a shot at the ceiling. At this time, the only one left who was not beaten was the governor. Li Zhenhua said to him: "I now order you to stop the riots outside within an hour." Stop. If they can't stop, then bring me your head." Governor Bordeaux saw it and immediately replied: "Yes, I will ask them to stop immediately." He then said to Lift and Malita: "Go and call the soldiers. "The police asked those people to stop. If you don't stop for an hour, I will shoot you." The two guys limped out and shouted orders for the soldiers and police to gather outside. Immediately issue an order: "Quickly, quickly, immediately order everyone to stop the riot. It must stop for one hour. If you don't stop after one hour, I will shoot you." The police and soldiers ran to execute the order, and two soldiers pulled them back. return. Li Zhenhua found a place to sit down and said to the governor: "Clean up this place." The governor immediately shouted: "Someone clean up the house!" Immediately, several servants came in to clean up the house and quickly cleared out all the things that the nobles wanted. They wanted to sneak out but were stopped by the soldiers, so they had to stand quietly behind the governor. Li Zhenhua said: "Let's eat! I'm hungry." So the servants hurriedly served food to Li Zhenhua and others. Li Zhenhua greeted Ou Zhiqiang and his guards to start eating together. An hour passed quickly. Li Zhenhua After waiting for a while, he said to Governor Bordeaux: "It's been an hour now. Has the riot outside stopped?" When the Governor saw that the people he sent had not returned yet, he couldn't say whether it had stopped. Li Zhenhua's attack on a The soldier said: Go outside and take a look to see if the riots have stopped? "The soldier went out. Li Zhenhua still sat there without talking for a while. The soldier came back and said, "Everything is fine nearby, but the situation in the distance is not clear yet. " The sound of the whistle came again from the pier outside. Li Zhenhua stood up and said to Governor Bordeaux: "I'll go outside and take a look. Then you go to the pier to find me and let's settle the accounts. When he reached the door, he could say to the so-called nobles: "None of you are allowed to come together when the time comes." " Li Zhenhua returned to the dock and saw that the soldiers had set up a tent. Most of the injured had been treated. The cooks over there were clearing away the tableware. It seemed that the refugees had also eaten. He felt relieved. The two merchant ships had also arrived. Li Zhenhua called some of his officers together and said to them: "This problem in the neighboring areas of Batavia has been solved. We don't know the situation in other places. Now let's talk about what we should do?" Wei Xiaohu immediately said: "I think let's do this. We have too few people here. Why don't we organize these local Chinese and overseas Chinese and let them go deep into various places to suppress the riots? The locals are more familiar with the local situation." " Others also agreed with Wei Xiaohu's statement, so Li Zhenhua said to them: "It's a good idea for us to organize them into a militia to protect our fellow villagers from being persecuted by them. This is a good way, Xiaohu, go and organize it. Find the people first and then let them select a few leading people and the rest will be easy to say. " So Wei Xiaohu immediately went among those people and said to them: "In order to prevent everyone from being bullied by these local people in the future, we are now going to select a group of young and strong people to organize their own team. If you are willing to participate, please come to me. Come. ¡± Those who were bullied by the Indonesian monkeys stood up immediately and it took a while.More than three thousand people came to Wei Xiaohuqiang's side. Wei Xiaohu said to everyone: "Now we have to select some highly respected people to be our organizers." People were in chaos again, but after a while, five or six people were elected. Wei Xiaohu brought a few people over Li Zhenhua said to several people beside him: "Fellow compatriots, this is our chief, asking him to tell you something." "Fellow compatriots, everyone has suffered because we arrived late. Now that we are here, you don't have to be afraid. But Our compatriots in other places are still being persecuted by them. Now we have organized a small team of one hundred people plus one of our squads of soldiers, and we want to seize their weapons so that we can fight them. The first step is to stop those atrocities and then rescue our compatriots. In addition, we must write down those who persecute us and then reconcile the accounts with them. Now we must first solve the problem of riots and then solve the problem. Is this good for other questions?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± everyone shouted together. So teams of people set off, and each team had a squad of soldiers following them. Soon they all took action and dispersed in all directions.

Text Chapter 75 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (4) Chapter 75 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (4) Li Zhenhua, Deng Shichang, and Wei Xiaohu sat together and they wanted to discuss the aftermath of this issue. Li Zhenhua knew that it was because of disunity that these Chinese became like this. If they were united, no one would dare to mess with them. But since these Chinese are just busy making money, they don't care about other people's situations. Now, I have to take advantage of this chaos to unite them and cultivate their own power as soon as possible. Even if I were no longer here, those monkeys would not dare to bully the Chinese. After thinking about it, Li Zhenhua said to the two of them: "This is a good place. In the future, we will establish a base here and keep this place firmly in our hands." Deng Shichang asked: "What about those Dutch people? "We can just let them wait here until our power becomes stronger, and then we can drive them away. We can just let them stay here now." "How can we save these people? There are quite a few of them," Wei Xiaohu asked. . "The more people we have, the better. We are not afraid that the more people we have, the faster our construction speed will be, right?" While they were talking here, several older people came over. As soon as they came over, they kowtowed to Li Zhenhua again. Li Zhenhua He hurriedly stopped them, asked them to sit down, and asked them to bring some water to the elderly people for them to drink. The elderly people said to Li Zhenhua: "We haven't asked your official name yet. It's really rude." Wei Xiaohu immediately said: "This is our general Li Zhenhua." Several elderly people immediately asked: "Can I ask if this General Li is General Li Zhenhua who defeated the French army in Annan?" "Who else can come if he is not our general? Save you?" Deng Shichang asked. "It turns out that it was General Li who defeated the French army in France. Disrespect! Disrespect! With your coming, we can be saved." Upon hearing this, several people hurriedly knelt down and worshiped Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua hurriedly helped these old people up and said: "You don't need to be polite, we are all our compatriots. We are here as we should. We must not let foreigners bully our compatriots." Another old man said: "These people in our country We have been bullied by the big powers for many years and only the generals have won glory for China." "Old man, please stop saying that this is what we should do." Li Zhenhua almost said that we are soldiers of workers and peasants. But an old man said: "General, although we are alone overseas, we are not ignorant of the domestic situation. The country never cares about us abandoned people. Your coming here should not be an assignment from above." Li Zhenhua listened. A stunned moment. This guy is pretty good. He really saw that we were not sent by the imperial court. He was different from the others. He didn't actually have that braid on his head. He must have a certain discernment. I couldn't help but look at him twice. . Then he asked: "What's your surname, old gentleman?" "I don't dare to think that my surname is Li He, and the general's name is Li Wenxuan. It's just that we are so scared these days, and we don't have enough food and drink to care about anything, which makes the general laugh. ¡± All of them laughed. The old gentleman added: "General, what I just said was actually intentional. We overseas Chinese have been supporting our country for many years and give the country a lot of money every year, but the country has never taken us seriously this time. It is a private deployment of troops, so we are willing to donate a sum of money to the general's army and ask the general to accept it." "Thank you, I won the battle in Annan not long ago, but your Nanyang Chamber of Commerce donated a lot of money to us. You have suffered this time and we can¡¯t ask for your money anymore." Seeing Li Zhenhua decline the donation, Deng Shichang and Wei Xiaohu also declined politely. Several old people added: "We are entrusted by everyone to come here to talk about this matter. We have already taken out all the money, so we can't let you take it back." As he said this, the old man took a pocket from behind. He handed it to Li Zhenhua's hand. "This is just a part of the money. There are many people who have already buried the money. They have to take it out before they can get it. Please ask the general to accept it." Li Zhenhua saw it and said hurriedly: "I really can't take it from these old people. You are here now." You are in need of money to rebuild your home during the disaster. We can't accept it. Let me tell you the truth. Someone will give us money in a while. " Several people were talking here. A soldier came over and reported: "The chief, the governor. Here it is." "Bring him here." Li Zhenhua's face was already dark. Several old people immediately stepped aside to let Li Zhenhua deal with them first. The Governor of Bordeaux, the Chief of Police Lift, and the Commander of the Garrison Major Mallet were followed by three people in front and followed by several local aristocratic officials.They had already arrived. Seeing that Li Zhenhua's face was not good-looking, they all did not even dare to express their anger. Li Zhenhua sat on the chair without moving and asked coldly: "How do you deal with the fact that you have turned this city into a place like this, killing our people and robbing our people's property?" The governor's mouth trembled a few times but he couldn't say anything. Li Zhenhua's eyes turned to the major and the police chief. They were just hiding behind the governor. They did not dare to face Li Zhenhua. When Li Zhenhua saw that they didn't say anything and were just pretending to be dead, he said, "Don't you think so? Okay, then I'll tell you that we have a saying in China: Kill people to pay debts and pay back money. It's not like you don't know that." Hand over the mastermind of this riot to me and pay for our loss of 10 million taels of silver. If you can't come up with it in three days, don't blame my men for being ruthless." When the governor heard this, he was shocked and immediately sat down on the ground. He said to himself, "Our annual income is only so much. Why don't you ask me for 10 million taels of silver? I'll go there and find it for you." But facing those dark muzzles, how dare he say anything, so he had no choice but to go back obediently. When darkness fell, the soldiers and militiamen returned one after another. The riot in Batavia had basically subsided. The Chinese and overseas Chinese have also returned to their homes to tidy up their homes that suffered riots. However, the more than 3,000 militiamen are still on the dock unwilling to go home. In fact, many of them are already homeless. Their relatives were all gone, just like Ou Zhiqiang. So Wei Xiaohu selected about 1,500 people from among them to form a militia group, transferred some of his own officers and soldiers, organized them and established An army can have some weapons on warships and merchant ships and then transport some from home. Text Chapter 76 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (5) Chapter 76 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (5) Those Chinese who became the militia were very happy that they got their own weapons. Their first thing was to remove the braids of those who had braids on their heads. Some of them did not The braid is because these people know a lot about Western culture. Besides, this braid is a sign of humiliation. People here are different from those on the mainland. They don't care about this humiliating braid. In addition, they also seized some weapons during the quelling of the riot. They first let some people get weapons. If they didn't, let them use those big knives, wooden sticks, and iron guns. They could change them later when they had the opportunity. The old people finally gave the money to Li Zhenhua. When he opened it, he saw that there was quite a lot of it. There were US dollars, pounds, francs, Dutch guilders, and banknotes. After counting, the total amount turned out to be more than ten million taels of silver. It's so rich to come to this place. If this is the case, I will never let go of this place and must regard it as my own. The money from these compatriots cannot be collected. In the future, we will build some factories for them and let them all own their own shares. But I don¡¯t even know who owns how much. This is not easy. Then consider it as a public one. Then we can open schools, You have to spend money to raise a team. The team rested where they were. This is a tropical area. The locals fell down and fell asleep. It was no problem for themselves and the soldiers. After arranging the sentries, they all rested. People had been wandering on the sea these days, even the fighting soldiers were tired. Except for the navy, Some of the soldiers were so good that others couldn't stand it anymore, so Deng Shichang arranged for the Marines to be on duty. Li Zhenhua got up early the next day. He rearranged his manpower and mobilized all the Chinese people to let them deal with the people who died in the riots. No matter whether there were people to deal with it or no one to deal with it, they had to bury the dead as soon as possible. This is a tropical area and it would not take a day to get those corpses. It will become sour and it will be troublesome if another plague occurs. So a large number of people mobilized and began to collect the bodies and bury them quickly. Most of the injured were treated by their own medical staff and some local doctors. Let several old gentlemen serve as consultants to deal with some problems that occurred. These Chinese and overseas Chinese have truly united together through this riot. After a day of hard work, they counted all the dead. They counted the number of Chinese and overseas Chinese who died in this riot. It actually reached more than 43,000 people. Li Zhenhua did not expect that so many Chinese and overseas Chinese would die, which made him really unbearable. He discussed with some old people that if it was not possible, they would cremate these people together and build a monument to commemorate them. Otherwise, it would take a long time just to dig holes. Those old people all agreed. Now in this situation, no one has it. Better way. So people started to move, some to find firewood and some to carry the corpses, and the corpses were cremated in several places at the same time. At one cremation place, Li Zhenhua ordered a group of "monkeys" who participated in the robbery to be pulled over and shot them to death before cremation to pay homage to the deceased. Then Li Zhenhua lit the fire and saw that everyone was kneeling. He also knelt down and kowtowed to the dead. The Chinese and overseas Chinese behind him also knelt down and kowtowed to the dead. Now we have to consider how to stay here for a long time in the future. If we can't protect them, it won't work if such a tragedy happens again in the future. I told several consultants that they are very happy. If you want to stay here for a long time, you must first have an army. Now we have Basically, if you have it, you need to engage in commercial or agricultural production, that is, to achieve a stable economic income. This means that the land here is fertile, so you just spread the seeds and it will grow without worrying about it. In addition, you can also specially grow some tropical crops here. Banana, pineapple, etc. Then there is commercial trade. It can be said that these Chinese from China have many business geniuses. If this place is built well, it will not be a problem. After everyone discussed it together, they immediately decided to develop here. It echoes Annan and the country. Supporting a domestic base in the future is also consistent with Li Zhenhua's original idea. In this way, the entire South Asia region can be connected together, and it will soon become a driving force for its own development, and it will be easy to oppose the Qing government. This is a place with a strong economic source. Okay, let's get started. Those intelligence officers should disclose what they need to disclose. They need to remain concealed and continue to conceal. Establish new commercial outlets. When your commercial fleet comes over, use these outlets as the main ones. First, let your own outlets develop and use the militia. Organizations serve as the primary protective force. The following question is how to solve the problem of the victims who were invaded by the thugs. Their houses were burned down, their relatives were killed, and their property was robbed. It is impossible to arrange their lives. The tropical climate may change at any time, and it may rain. Those people If you can't stand it anymore, you should quickly build them some simple houses that can at least provide shelter from wind and rain. These places are more prestigiousPeople who are desperate ask them to organize the victims to build local houses. It is relatively simple to use local materials, and some houses can be built soon. Money is not short now to buy some necessary things. Neighbors can help each other to build. But Li Zhenhua means to let everyone Make the house as good as possible so that you don't have to rework it in a short time. After the arrangement, people quickly took action and began to save themselves. Now these people are very united. After such a catastrophe, people all realize that only if we unite together can we form a force. Otherwise, what is the power of one person? There is nothing we can do about the huge grief. We must first put down the living people and save the living people. We cannot let the living people suffer any more. The injured are under the care of medical staff. We must concentrate all our efforts to build houses so that people will not suffer from the wind and rain. At this time, those who have money will contribute money, and those who have food will provide food, and those who have strength will provide strength. The young and strong young men were the main force, the women cooked, and the old people did some lighter work. Some families who were not attacked by the mob took the old people and children into their own homes. The young and strong ones were left alone. At night, they also lay down on the spot and fell asleep. The next day, they continued to work together on the construction site, and the work of moving Taishan to build houses was carried out in an orderly manner. Text Chapter 77 Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are (6) Chapter 77 Those who offend China must be punished no matter how far away they are (6) The following is the question of how to retaliate against those who beat, smash, rob, burn, and kill us. The blood of our own people cannot be shed in vain. How will the Dutch deal with us? Ignore it for now, but your revenge is necessary. Then you must establish a method and baseline for those thugs who commit heinous crimes of murder, arson, and robbery. Then you must make them disappear from this world. Those who only obtain property must spit them out. Punish them and teach those who follow the booing. Regarding this action issue, let Wei Xiaohu take full responsibility. Li Zhenhua knew that this talented young man would definitely handle this matter. Needless to say, let Ou Zhiqiang take charge of the business aspect. The young man is a businessman and has a sense of justice. Even several of his consultants are very optimistic about this young man. Those elderly people asked them to be responsible for comprehensive consulting work. If there was anything, they could go to whoever they should go to. Without division of labor, it would not work, and Li Zhenhua would be exhausted to death. Wei Xiaohu went out and he was about to take action. Others are still discussing how to start relief for those homeless compatriots. This is a big problem and must be done as soon as possible. What should I do if my relatives are gone? What to do if you lose a loved one? There should be an explanation, and the governor must give money, and there should be an explanation on how to distribute it. ¡°Now that money is not rich, Li Zhenhua is not afraid of having more money. Part of the money in his hand is used to relieve the victims. Now we can¡¯t just think about how to make money, but also how to solve the current problem. Discuss with several consultants and make a statistics first. You should have a good idea of ??what the situation is. At the same time, you should also determine the situation of those who participated in the riots and committed murder, arson, and robbery. Who is instigating and who is actually participating? It¡¯s something that I can¡¯t help but understand over the years. One old man, Zhao Shiwen, went to learn about the victims. Another, Gao Zhiping, went to investigate the situation of those who participated in the riot. They both led a group of militiamen and a squad of soldiers. The rest of them waited for the reply from the Governor, the Duke of Bordeaux. Soon, the Governor of Bordeaux arrived. He had a carriage pulled to deliver compensation money to Li Zhenhua. His property was quite a lot, about 20,000 taels of silver, some US dollars, pounds, and some Dutch guilders. The total value was In addition to the 40,000 taels of silver, he also brought some of his wife's jewelry. Li Zhenhua saw that it didn't have much profit, so he had his belongings put away and called him aside. Seeing Li Zhenhua's still gloomy face made the Governor of Bordeaux very uneasy. But this time Li Zhenhua did not blame him and just asked him: "How much do you, the Governor, have to hand over to the Dutch government a year?" Regarding Li Zhenhua's question in Bordeaux It was a little strange, but he didn't dare not answer and had to tell the truth: "After excluding some of our expenses here, our annual turnover is about 50,000 to 60,000 pounds." Hearing his words, Li Zhenhua nodded and saw that Li Zhenhua was not angry. My heart felt a little more relaxed. Li Zhenhua asked again: "Is this riot caused by your emissary?" Bordeaux immediately said: "No, no, it is definitely not my emissary." "Then who is the instigator?" Bordeaux opened his mouth. speak out. Li Zhenhua stared at him and said, "You're not going to say yes, are you?" "No, no, no, I said, I said, at first it was the local nobles who were particularly jealous of the money owned by the Chinese. They repeatedly asked us for money. It's not okay to let the Chinese get it all. We must punish the Chinese. But because our Dutch power is too weak, I heard that your people did not dare to move the French who fought in Annan, and we did not dare to cause chaos. However, the local nobles and officials repeatedly asked us to support their actions against the Chinese and overseas Chinese. In the end, I did not agree. I thought they were too despicable and shameless. They would not make money. They just thought about how to get it. "Other people's property." Governor Bordeaux said as he wiped the sweat from his face. Li Zhenhua knew that he was buying it for himself. "But your soldiers and police officers participated in the riots. How do you explain this?" "With the instigation of those people, Police Chief Lift first agreed to attack the Chinese and personally dispatched his police officers. Later, Malita The major also agreed, but he did not order the soldiers to participate. He only relaxed his words, so some soldiers participated in the riot. " "Then what benefits do you have?" "They promised to pay an extra 20,000 pounds in taxes to the Dutch side. "I mean, what's the personal benefit to you?" "The personal benefit is to give each of us ten thousand pounds, but it must be more for the two of them because they support the riots." "Okay, just rest here." I have to wait for the two of them sooncome over. "The intelligence officer who temporarily served as a translator next to him said: "What he said is basically true. He didn't bother to participate in this operation. The major also disagreed at first. Later, maybe they gave him benefits, and he also treated his own soldiers. Relieved. " It wasn't until almost noon that the garrison commander, Major Malita, and the police chief, Lift, arrived. When they saw that they had also arrived, they also brought a lot of things with a carriage. After the soldiers collected them, they made statistics. The police chief's finances were 20,000. Li Zhenhua also asked them about the situation and asked them to go back and asked the locals to quickly come up with the money for compensation. After summarizing the situation of the Dutch people, I feel that what Governor Bordeaux said is true. The police chief is simply trying to dodge. He doesn't take Chinese people seriously. Li Zhenhua sneered and dared to play tricks on me. Then you are. They are looking for death. Those local nobles and officials didn't come here at all. They want to make themselves uncomfortable. Well, I will deal with you and let you know that the Chinese are not so easy to bully. If you want to get something for nothing, it will be impossible today. If I let you go, you will still feel uncomfortable in the future. I will let you remember forever that you have offended Tianwei this time. Text Chapter 78: Poaching Talents in the United States Chapter 78: Recruiting talents in the United States. Johnson, the president of the American region of Xinghua Company, did not spend the Spring Festival in China. He was running around in the United States. At this time, he was holding his head high and walked into a bicycle sales and repair shop. A man who looked like a boss The young man came over. This bicycle repair shop was not big, just two young people working. After careful verification, Johnson immediately said to the two brothers: "Please close the door. I have something to discuss with you." "A moment." The two young men, Charles Durier and Frank Durier, closed the door with hesitation. Johnson said to them: "I am now the president of the American branch of Xinghua Company in China, and I will take care of you two now." If you come to work in my company, wouldn¡¯t you like to conduct research on cars and engines? I can satisfy you with all of this. The salary I will give you will be incomparable. In addition, you will also learn a lot of professional knowledge.¡± When the two brothers heard that this was a good thing that fell from the sky, they immediately discussed it carefully with him. Finally, Johnson told them that they just wanted to go to China to work. Johnson said that his big boss was going to build a car manufacturing plant for them. The young people's interest was immediately ignited. They said that as long as it provides a place where they can study cars, as long as they are responsible for food and wages, they don't want to do it. Because this is their hobby, but they can't express it here. The same thing happened in another bicycle repair department. The brothers Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright also made a living by selling and repairing bicycles, but their idea was to be able to fly in the air in the future. Johnson promised them a bicycle factory and they could conduct research on aviation according to their own hobbies. The two brothers were also attracted and immediately expressed their intention to come to China with Johnson. Johnson, the president of Xinghua Company's American region, came off a ship from the United States. Many people came back with him this time, including two pairs of brothers. Their reputations are not too famous now, but they will be known to everyone in the world in the future. : The first pair of brothers is Charles Durier and Frank Durier. The second pair is Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright. The one in front is the father of the American automobile and the other is the father of the American airplane. But their popularity is still there. These four are now bicycle mechanics. ? The latest American cars and bicycles came with the ship. The jobs Li Zhenhua assigned them were Wilburite and Orville. The two Wright brothers were responsible for the manufacture of bicycles. The craftsmanship of this bicycle is still relatively simple now, but with some modern knowledge and concepts of Li Zhenhua, new bicycles have appeared, which is another profit growth point in such a large country. The new bicycle mainly changes the original shaft drive into a chain drive. Brothers Charles Durier and Frank Durier are now responsible for the research and development of automobiles. Li Zhenhua has given them a lot of help in their automobile design. He only uses their future designs to improve their own standards. This makes them have a strong impression of Li Zhenhua. I admire the Chinese very much, but sometimes they are much better than them. Li Zhenhua was not embarrassed about the plagiarism he had committed. He just gave them high wages and certain shares. It¡¯s all easy to say that bicycles soon succeeded in the hands of the Durier brothers. A large number of bicycles left the factory. Fangcheng has reached the city with the most bicycles per family. They have reached six or five per family. Followed by Guangzhou, Nanning, Kunming, like Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin. Because the cities are too big and the living standards of the people are relatively low, there is less than one bicycle per 100 families on average. There was another person among the people who arrived on the same ship this time: Elisha Gray. Everyone in modern times knows that the inventor of the telephone was Alexander Graham Bell. They both applied for a patent on the same day, March 10, 1876. But because Bell's application preceded Gray's by two hours, Alexander Graham Bell's patent stood. Elisha Gray, who also invented the telephone, was not the inventor. Although the Western Union Telegraph Company bought his patent, an agreement was reached between the two companies. The Western Union Telegraph Company recognized Alexander Graham Bell's patent, but Within seventeen years Bell's telephone company was to give 20 percent of its revenue to Western Union. Therefore, Elisha Gray lost the patent for the invention of the telephone, and the Western Union Telegraph Company stopped producing telephones. From then on, Elisha Gray began to memorize words. When Johnson invited him, he readily agreed. Johnson's invitation boarded the ship with him across the ocean to China. In the evening of Patananya in Indonesia, all teams had returned. I heard that the Dutch had handed over a huge amount of money. Wei Xiaohu said to Li Zhenhua: "The chief and these people are a bit shameless. If we don't punish them severely, They can¡¯t do it all at once.¡± Li Zhenhua asked, ¡°What do you know about the situation?¡±?The nobles and officials sent out their bodyguards, guards, workers, etc. to carry out robberies. After they come back, they must be handed over to their masters. The ordinary Indonesian monkeys also followed suit and robbed, then killed, set fire to, and raped. We just told them to pay compensation, but they wouldn't move. They thought we would still leave. If we leave, they will still bully us. " "Okay, then we will deal with them. The victims all know who robbed them. They are pretty much what you said. Then we will go to their homes tonight to search and find evidence of their crimes. After that, we will deal with them. We must not be lenient. " "Okay, let me let our soldiers eat first and then give them some at night, otherwise they don't know about Lord Ma's three eyes. We start at eleven o'clock tonight. " Li Zhenhua thought about it again and decided to treat the three Dutch officials differently. He continued to retain the Governor Bordeaux and the garrison commander Mali, and the police chief had to rearrange people. It would be best to have a Chinese as the police chief. Text Chapter 79 Revenge Chapter 79 Revenge After dinner, Li Zhenhua took Li Biao and a platoon of soldiers to the Governor's Mansion. The Governor and his wife were having dinner. To be honest, he was not in the mood to eat. He had been thinking about how to explain to the Dutch government in the future. His wife was also very worried now. I was unhappy because Bordeaux also handed over his jewelry, which I had spent a lot of effort to obtain. I really liked those pieces of Chinese jewelry, but there was no place to get them in the Netherlands. Seeing Li Zhenhua¡¯s late-night visit shocked Governor Bordeaux and his wife. The Dutch woman hurriedly hugged her husband tightly. They thought Li Zhenhua was going to secretly execute him at night. Seeing the governor so frightened, Li Zhenhua sat down with a sword and said to him: "I came today to tell you how we will handle this matter." Don¡¯t be afraid, I won¡¯t kill you, but it¡¯s hard to say anything about your police chief. Since he is unwilling to cooperate with us, let him go to his God.¡± The words came from Li Zhenhua¡¯s mouth in an understatement. When they came out, they first knew that they could avoid death, but they couldn't live with Lift. However, this could only be blamed on him because he always wanted to take advantage. In the end, he let the advantage bite him. Bordeaux immediately said: "Sir, please tell me that I will definitely do as you ask." Li Zhenhua smiled and said: "That's a good person!" A soldier came over. He was holding a bag in his hand. Li Zhenhua opened the bag and opened it. He took out a bunch of banknotes, pushed his pocket in front of the governor's wife, and said to her, "Have a look and see if there's anything missing?" Then he said to Governor Bordeaux, "This is the 40,000 yuan you took. I've got two cents back for you, just click it." The two men were stunned. The governor didn't even look at the banknote and said, "Not a lot, not a lot." The governor's wife said. He also glanced briefly and said: "There are a lot of things." Li Zhenhua knew what the governor's wife was thinking and said to her: "Madam, don't you want to bring me a cup of coffee?" The Dutch woman then remembered that this person If you want to talk to the governor, you should avoid it. She immediately stood up, bowed to Li Zhenhua and went out to arrange coffee. When she came back, the expression on her face was much better than before. She politely served coffee to Li Zhenhua and the Governor and walked out in an elegant manner. Li Zhenhua watched her go out and said to Governor Bordeaux: "We plan to retain you as Governor and at the same time make sure that the pounds you pay every year will not be less than the original situation and may be more in the future. But in the future, you must sincerely treat the Chinese and The first point is to protect overseas Chinese. The second point is that all those in your garrison who participated in the riot will be sentenced to death. If they did not participate, we will not touch them. The third police chief and all the police officers who participated in the riot will not be touched. Those who did not participate will not be held accountable. Fourth, from now on, your garrison will be responsible for your security and the rest will not have to worry about the police. I will rearrange people for management, so you don¡¯t have to worry about it anymore. You can just take care of it. Just hand over the annual taxes to your Dutch government. "Do you think this is okay? If you have any different opinions, you can tell me." Governor Bordeaux had no objection to Li Zhenhua's hard-and-soft tactics. How dare he say anything even if he is dead? He dare not say anything. Anyway, it has not affected his own interests. He is still a governor. This man has already given himself a lot of face. If he is unhappy, he will let himself die now. It is estimated that the Dutch government will not do anything to them. Their own government is no longer the unparalleled country in the world. Even if the Dutch government has the ability now, they cannot control places thousands of miles away. So Bordeaux immediately agreed to Li Zhenhua's arrangement without even thinking about it, but he still asked carefully: "Then is there anything else I can do to help you?" "I don't need help. You see, those noble officials don't listen to you either." "Yeah, that's because they didn't find a good one. It has nothing to do with you. You are now the most relaxed person here." Li Zhenhua took a gulp of the coffee and said to Governor Bordeaux: "Thank you for the delicious coffee." Goodbye, Mr. Governor." After saying that, he walked out, but the Governor kept wiping the cold sweat from his head. In the evening, Wei Xiaohu led his men to start their retaliatory action. The garrison commander, Mali, went there in person. When he arrived at the military camp, the sentry saw many Chinese soldiers. They immediately closed the door. At the same time, they hurriedly reported the rest to the major. The soldiers climbed up the wall and stretched out countless muzzles from the wall. Wei Xiaohu saw that he was going to use force. Wei Xiaohu ordered me to surround the courtyard and see who dares to move. Wei Xiaohu said to the sentry on the wall: "We are Chinese and need to fight with youIf the commander speaks, please notify him immediately. And tell your soldiers to put their weapons back. If you piss me off, I'll kill you all. "The soldiers on the wall have seen the harm done by these Chinese soldiers. Let alone the giant steel ship on the sea, the weapons in their hands. These single-shot weapons in their hands are no match for others. They have never had them. I have seen too many things. People come to see their commanders and they have nothing to do. Why are you and others so nervous? If they ask you to go down, go down alone. Don't make trouble. So those soldiers all retracted their guns obediently. Mali came soon. Seeing his unsatisfactory soldiers, he was speechless, so he asked the soldiers to open the door and let the Chinese soldiers in. After Wei Xiaohu came in, he said to Mali: "Order your troops to gather us." Find the murderer who participated in the riot in your team quickly! "Ma Li couldn't listen to Wei Xiaohu's orders at all. Just as he was about to speak, a soldier next to him kicked him down. At the same time, the muzzles of several rifles were pointed at his head. Ma Li saw that these people were not good. If he didn't cooperate, he would be making trouble for himself, so he had no choice but to issue an order for his troops to assemble quickly. Text Chapter 80 Reap the consequences Chapter 80 Reap the consequences "Go to your office. I have something to say to you." Wei Xiaohu said. The major had no choice but to go to his office with Wei Xiaohu. The Dutch soldiers dared to beat themselves when they saw their superiors, so don't lose your temper. Otherwise, you might get beaten too. They quickly gathered under the guns of the Chinese soldiers. The soldiers outside saw the Dutch soldiers gathered and said to them: "Put down your weapons." Seeing the fierce look of the Chinese soldiers, the soldiers were a little scared. They knew what these Chinese soldiers were here for, so those The soldiers who did not participate in the riots took the initiative to put down their weapons, but those who participated in the killing and robbery were afraid and did not put down their guns. Battalion Commander Xiao Ping said again: "I will shoot if I count to three and don't put down my weapons." After saying that, he shouted loudly: "One, two, three!" Seeing that there were still people who had not put down their weapons, Xiao Ping shouted: "Shoot!" The sound of gunfire immediately sounded, and more than a dozen Dutch soldiers fell to the ground and just screamed. After one or two screams, there was no sound. The soldiers' shots were fatal, so there was no need to issue a warning. The rest of the Dutch soldiers dropped their guns on the ground. Xiao Ping sneered: "You can't get a damn thing if you don't fight." Those Dutch soldiers were stunned and didn't know what to do. Xiao Ping said again: "Now I'll start to call out the names of the stations. Come over here." He pointed to the side. So he started to call his name and those who were called stood next to him. In the major's office, Wei Xiaohu said to Mali: "You should know why we are here today. We have a saying in China: Kill people to pay debts and pay money. Your soldiers committed unforgivable crimes against our compatriots. We We have to deal with them, so we are here to deal with this matter. But some people said that you also collected some benefits and the items they robbed, so we have to conduct a search. In my opinion, it is best for you to hand over those things yourself. I will give them now. Do you have three minutes to consider whether we should search or hand it over on your own initiative?" Mali stood there, his mind was racing with 15 buckets of water, but before he could think about the sound of gunfire outside, At the same time, there was a loud cry of soldiers, which frightened him. Ma Li hurriedly said: "I'll hand it over myself. You guys can go get it with me." Several soldiers followed him into his bedroom. A bag was placed there. Ma Li pointed with his hand: "Those are the things you take away." Wei Xiaohu said with a smile: "The attitude is not bad. Remember, you saved yourself. If you don't save yourself today, If you take it out, you will be worse than dead. Let's go outside." Xiao Ping's roll call has ended. Wei Xiaohu said to Mali: "We want to take away these soldiers who participated in the riot." Mali said: "Sir, I will take them away. You can be more polite to my soldiers." "That's no problem. It depends on their performance." Xiao Ping immediately ordered them to follow him, but the soldiers knew that there would be no good after they left. No one would move. The rifle butts of the soldiers beside him immediately went up. Those soldiers immediately screamed. Marley closed his eyes. He did not want to see his soldiers beaten by others. But he was originally willing to let our Chinese and overseas Chinese be beaten. Now he only They may be left to reap the consequences. The situation was similar when we went to the police station, but they ransacked the entire director's house because he was unwilling to cooperate. They could only blame himself and confiscated items worth hundreds of thousands taels from him. When the bruised and bruised police chief met Malita, Malita felt that he was so lucky that he didn't get beaten many times. But it's a different situation when you go to the homes of the so-called local nobles and officials. These people must die. Those people know that they will not end well. They closed their doors early and the bodyguards stood there. They were in a guarded place, but they couldn't guard their yard, which was dozens of acres in size, even with how many people they had. After the local Chinese militiamen came up, the two sides only exchanged fire for a short time before they could no longer withstand it. The militiamen successfully opened their door, seized their weapons, and then drove the bodyguards together. A search began at their master's house. Those people's secret warehouse was quickly found. There was a huge basement under a hidden small house behind the main house. There were a lot of gold, pounds, US dollars, silver, etc. There was also a pile of things that were obviously just robbed. In front of people's eyes, there were some fresh blood stains on some things. The cloth used for packaging also had some blood stains on it. It smelled like blood. The militiamen carried all these things up and entered their main house. They also searched. A lot of things, especially jewelry, were given to the militiamen by the women.After entering, they were still admiring it admiring it admiringly. Those big and thick soldiers came up and knocked them to the ground with the butts of their rifles, and confiscated all their belongings. At dawn, all the teams came back. They all made great gains. They confiscated a lot of evidence against the indigenous people and obtained a lot of property. Especially at the police chief's house, the evidence could be used to shoot him ten times. Several people discussed it together and decided to do it in the afternoon. They were shot. In the afternoon, in the square in front of the city hall, the militiamen summoned many local aboriginal people to attend a meeting. This was to kill chickens for the "monkeys" to see. A row of people who participated in the robbery and the instigators behind them were tied up and detained. There were more than 200 people kneeling there. The police chief was lucky that he was right among everyone. Ou Zhiqiang read out the verdict: Many people participated in the planning of the riots in the past few days, and many more people were directly involved in murders, arson, robbery, rape and other atrocities. The evidence is conclusive and they themselves confessed. According to Bada, these people Via's temporary public security regulations imposed the death penalty and then a long list of names. People who heard their names collapsed on the ground, and the smell of urine spread far away. Text Chapter 81 Formation of a new government Chapter 81 Formation of a New Government Governor Bodo also said a few words that whoever commits such crimes again will be shot. Wei Xiaohu's speech was even simpler: "In the future, no matter who you are, you must abide by the principle of helping each other and caring for each other. The local indigenous people must also participate in labor. Otherwise, you will have no food. If you want to get something for nothing, you will only end up dead! Let's start the execution." "After hearing Wei Xiaohu's order, the militiamen dragged the people down like dead dogs and walked to the execution ground nearby. The Chinese who had lost their relatives rushed up and kicked one of them hard. The policeman's ears were bitten off. After a while, intermittent gunshots were heard, which scared the local indigenous people who participated in the public trial to death. It was not until those people on the rostrum left that they returned to their homes in despair. Ou Zhiqiang organized two teams and entered the police station. There were not many police left. These people will be the police in the future. Since they had no uniforms, they just tied a green strip of cloth on their left arm as a police symbol. They immediately took to the streets to maintain law and order procedures. The commander of the garrison, Mali, used to have more than 300 soldiers, but now there are less than 200. He relocated the people and sent some people to help the police to maintain security on the streets. Mali knew that he was He lost his life. It turned out that the police chief who often quarreled with him lost his life just because he wanted to take advantage. He can't do this again in the future. He thinks about his own country to stand up for himself. That is his own country that has no door. I know very clearly what it is like. Now Batavia is in his own hands. Li Zhenhua felt that a corresponding management organization should be established here, similar to his own Fangcheng government, so he brought this matter up. The Chinese and overseas Chinese here are more open-minded and have contact with the West. There are more culture and politics. It can be seen from the braids on their heads that many people don't have braids at all. They all agreed to Li Zhenhua's proposal. There must be a high-level management organization and a set of teams below. The finance and taxation industry , agriculture, business management, etc. There are also some foreigners here who have temporarily left here due to the riots. After they come back, they still need someone to manage them. Soon they formed a temporary municipal government to manage this place. They wanted to hold elections. Li Zhenhua said to them: "Then you can decide for yourself. You can decide those things and I will not participate." Several consultants They immediately expressed different opinions: "That's not okay. Everything here is done by you. From now on, you still have the final say. No one can take your place." They already regard Li Zhenhua as their savior. Li Zhenhua feels that This is not good, but they all agree that it must be this way. If it is not this way, it will not work. Li Zhenhua will still have to give opinions on all major matters in the future. We are just managing it for you. When Li Zhenhua saw that he couldn't push it out, he had to agree to it first and wait until something happened. . After forming the team, they unanimously elected Ou Zhiqiang as the head of the government here. Li Zhenhua also agreed that he was a good person. There was a high-level advisory group below with those old people as consultants. Some corresponding departments were arranged below, such as the Industry Department, Agriculture Department, etc. Department, Police Department, Mining Department, Commercial Department, Foreign Affairs Department, Security Department, etc. manage the corresponding matters. Because of a man-made disaster, many people died, and some of the remaining families were left without children, some lost their elders, and some lost their wives and children. Some are the main labor force who no longer have families. District Zhiqiang suggested that these people should be allowed to voluntarily organize families. Men and women can remarry and adopt the elderly or children. This suggestion was unanimously agreed by the people. The government can also come forward to help people start families, so government departments became Professional marriage agencies allow people to start families again. This work was very effective, and soon some large families appeared, some with more than ten people, three or four elderly people, and a group of children. This relieved some people who were still grieving the loss of their loved ones, and many people were relieved. It's a good way to take care of it. But Zhao Shiwen, the old man, brought up another thing, which is that among the aboriginal people, the ratio of men to women is greatly imbalanced due to the death of many men during the riots and subsequent retaliation. Therefore, the old man suggested that some Chinese and overseas Chinese men can marry one or more aborigines. The wives of Chinese people can both have children and work. However, some people disagree and think that the indigenous people are too lazy to be the wives of Chinese people. They argued endlessly about this suggestion but could not get a solution, so the lawsuit came to Li Zhenhua again. Li Zhenhua's head got big at this moment. He himself is not married, so how can he talk about other people's affairs? But in essence, there is nothing unreasonable about it. China has had three wives and four concubines since ancient times. As long as you can afford to marry one more. It's not a big deal. He willOur children are Chinese. This can increase the number of Chinese. So Li Zhenhua said four words, "the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Because the local indigenous people are naturally lazy, they just have what they need to eat today and will not think about tomorrow. They will not take the initiative to find work. However, the Chinese have too much land and enterprises to do their own work. solved the problem of labor shortage. They were studying this issue and just when Li Zhenhua came, they asked for Li Zhenhua's opinion. Li Zhenhua stopped talking and said, "If you don't work, you can't eat. This is a matter of course. If you don't want to work, if there are no jobs, then force them to work." So in the city government's regulations, Another item added to the list is forced labor. Soon, some people with leather whips appeared in some Chinese manors. They drove a group of monkeys to work in the fields. If those people didn't work or were lazy, someone would come to beat them. Suddenly I saw this Li Zhenhua just laughed and dismissed the situation. Damn it, even I have to work. Why don't you work? But there are also some indigenous people who have changed their past habits and started to work actively. Li Zhenhua said to the leaders: "If they work proactively, they must give them opportunities to work. At the same time, they must be better and train them. After all, they are their own people and cannot always use oppression. " Text Chapter 82 Xinghua Bank opens Chapter 82 Xinghua Bank opened. Those militiamen are now in the style of soldiers. After some training by Wei Xiaohu, they are already very good. Li Zhenhua said to Wei Xiaohu: "These people want to train them into a strong army. After that, they will be like a tropical jungle." If you want to expand your territory as a field force, they will be your help." Wei Xiaohu immediately replied: "I must make them more tenacious than our Annan Division. We have now expanded our territory to the middle of this big island. After that, any place without an owner will belong to us." Li Zhenhua smiled at him and said nothing. Li Zhenhua's goal was not to develop eastward. His intention was to the west, which is the passage between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Strait of Malacca is the place I want most, so I should go there to see it. After thinking about it again, there is nothing left to do, and that is the school. The elementary school that the children must go to is here. If they go to higher education, they can go back to their country. Just do it and immediately find Ou Zhiqiang and tell him that you immediately arrange to build a small school so that all our children who have no money can go to school. After that, they will be the main force in our construction here and they will also be some of ours. Ou Zhiqiang was very happy when he heard that there were senior management talents and immediately went to arrange manpower. Everyone is busy now. Not only the people in Indonesia are busy, but also Jincheng is also the busiest person. There are many things in the bank every day, but finally we see something coming. The time for the opening has been set. a week later. The street in front of the bank gate has long been swept clean. Entering the business hall, the windows are bright and clean. From the outside, it looks like a European-style building, but when you enter, it looks like a Chinese-style building. There is a row of long counters with a row of wooden railings on top. On one side of the newly painted hall is a row of new sofas so that customers can wait here. The clothes of the staff were all designed by the big boss himself. They were not the original robes, mandarins, or suits. They were all blue tops with four upper and lower pockets to put some temporarily needed things. The pockets had covers and leftover Under the next place where a pen can be inserted are new-style blue trousers. At the feet are new-style rubber shoes or leather shoes. There are some girls among them, and there are a few foreign girls. They all wear blue skirts. These people speak a variety of languages, including very good Mandarin in the north, local languages ??in the south, English, French, Russian and other languages. Some people can say that customers from any place will be suitable for you after they come. Communicate with customers in various languages. On the opening day, the staff hung up the plaque wrapped in red silk, and placed all the plaques, congratulatory tents, and flowers sent by distinguished guests from all over the door on both sides of the gate. There were too many gifts and they were placed far away. . ?Those who sent gifts to express their congratulations include the Governor's Yamen of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Governor's Yamen of Guangdong, the Governor's Yamen of Guangxi, the Governor's Yamen of Yunnan, as well as some prefectural, state and county Yamen, including the British Consulate in Guangzhou, the French Consulate in Guangzhou, etc. In addition, there are some companies under Xinghua Group Company and various enterprises under Qian Wang Wangchi, as well as some customers of Xinghua Group Company. At the same time, for the convenience of guests from all over the country, a large area has been prepared on both sides. There is a special place for sedans, a special place for tying horses, and a place to park cars. The navy's military band has arrived a long time ago. Their position is opposite the bank hall. This is the most eye-catching form. It turns out that no one has ever done anything like this, not even foreign companies and stores. People's eyes were opened by the words "Good Business Opening" spelled out with firecrackers on the side of the road. On one side, a dozen young men each held a long wooden stick with long firecrackers hanging on it. Many security guards in Shimono stood on both sides of the door. Their spirits were gone. They all came down from the battlefield, and they had a murderous aura in them. This made some local gangsters in Guangzhou hide in fear and hide aside. Come here. They don't even dare to think about making trouble. In fact, this is the largest local gang organization in Guangzhou. They knew that another fat fish was about to take the bait from the moment they started renovating. They thought they were going to increase their income, but they waited until it was about to open for business and no one came to punish them. They went to drink. The boss immediately got angry after receiving the invitation. He asked his little pony boys to go and cause trouble to the master's family, and then asked them to pay the "protection fee" honestly. But he didn't expect that all the little gangsters would come back after a while. As soon as the situation there was mentioned, the boss couldn't close his mouth, "Oh my God, who is this guy? Why is it so grand?" When I sent someone to find out, it turned out to be the transaction of the Xinghua Group Company. This is pretty cool. If someone doesn't cause trouble for you, you're lucky. If you still want to hit someone, isn't this like a rat licking a cat's melon and seeking death? It's my own dog-headed military advisor who's here.He must quickly send someone to give them a generous gift and then don't let them destroy him. At this time, two more airships flew from the sky and hung two banners from above. One of them read "Warmly celebrate the opening of Xinghua Bank" and "Sincerely thank friends from all walks of life for coming." As a result, more and more people were watching the excitement. The Guangdong Governor's Yamen also sent many soldiers to maintain order. Regardless of whether these soldiers could fight, it would be absolutely fine if they were allowed to scare the people. It's time for the opening. Firecrackers are blasting and gongs and drums are noisy. Some people watching the excitement cover their ears. There are only firecracker paper on the ground. There are thick layers and strings of red flowers. In front of the door, there are several girls wearing large medicine-colored cheongsams. They walked forward and there were scissors on the tray in their hands. Several distinguished guests picked up the scissors and cut off the red flowers. A staff member gently pulled the red silk on the plaque above the door and gently floated. On the black plaque, the words "Xinghua Bank" were written. A large golden character appeared. People began to enter the hall to visit. It was not possible to do business at this time today and had to wait until the celebration was over. But some peers want to receive bonuses. The so-called "bonus" means that some peers have to deposit some money into the bank to show support. Of course, their money can only be withdrawn after a month, but some companies affiliated to Xinghua Group Company have The money was withdrawn from other banks and deposited directly into my own bank. Text Chapter 83 Grand Opening Banquet Chapter 83 Grand Opening Banquet At noon, Xinghua Bank held a grand banquet to entertain the distinguished guests who came to attend the celebration. For this purpose, they booked three restaurants, the most exclusive of which were specially used to entertain some officials. Some of the people who came were actually from the imperial court. It was difficult for the low-level officials like the second-rank officers to even step forward. Since Li Zhenhua is not in the country, Wang Xin is the host here. She attended the banquet as the boss's fianc¨¦e. Today, Wang Xin dressed up and appeared in front of everyone. She toasted to some senior officials, but she did not forget to also toast to the lower-level officials. They showed her courtesy. In the eyes of these officials, she was just a junior, but she must definitely follow the etiquette. On the other side are those who are our own people. These are the leaders of the units within Xinghua Group. Today, we are accompanied by the mayor of Fangcheng City, Zhao Hongyan. These people are all our own people. Zhao Hongyan said to everyone cordially: "Dear distinguished guests today, Please drink up. I'll give you a toast first, and then you can do whatever you want. After that, you can go back and earn money for me. Now we have a place to store our money." The crowd burst into laughter, and everyone was very fond of this leader. Respect started to do it on his own as soon as she spoke. The last place is the customers of Xinghua Group Company and the foreigners here. Jincheng Jincheng speaks fluent English and the foreigners can also speak up. The customers also respect them very much. There are people in front. Where is the Xinghua Group company's brand? Who dares to disrespect it? ?Then the three hosts went to the other two places to have a look and express their gratitude. As a result, everyone was happy and all the distinguished guests returned home happily. The official business started in the afternoon. Countless depositors came to the bank. They believed them 100% as soon as they saw this attitude. Xinghua Group Company's bank will not cheat us. We believed them. It's time to close. It was already time, but there were still some customers waiting to go through the deposit procedures. Jincheng said at that time that they would finish all business after work. As a result, they were so busy that they didn't close until after nine o'clock in the evening. Seeing that the employees were all tired, Jincheng immediately said to them: "Today, all my colleagues are tired. Everyone is getting a day's overtime pay, and I also want to treat everyone to dinner." The employees cheered happily. The next day, Jincheng sent a telegram to Li Zhenhua: "It's a good start. I deposited 2.6 million taels in one day, including 400,000 taels for retail investors." Two days later, Li Zhenhua received this telegram. At the same time, he also received Johnson from A telegram from the United States said that he had found all the people Li Zhenhua needed and was returning to China. There was no direct telegraph line in Indonesia and it was necessary to transfer it from Malaysia. Li Zhenhua immediately found Ou Zhiqiang and said to him: "We must solve the problem of the telegraph line and connect the telegraph line from Malaysia as soon as possible." Ou Zhiqiang is a businessman himself and he knows this information. It was so important that he immediately sent someone to make arrangements and soon the telegraph line was opened. Seeing that some work here in Indonesia has been on the right track, business operations have shown profits and other aspects have also made progress. Li Zhenhua decided to return to Fangcheng himself. Li Zhenhua gathered his capable assistants and told them that he was going back. Upon hearing Li Zhenhua's decision, all the subordinates disagreed, but only Li Wenxuan said: "General Li should go back. His work is not only in our area, there are other places waiting for him." Zhao Shiwen Said: "But we can't do without General Li." "If not, we have to let him go. We can't let him waste so much time in just a small area here. There are many things in other places." Li Zhenhua At that time, he said: "Yes, I believe you will be able to do a good job in the work here. The current division of labor is clear. If there is anything that cannot be decided, you can discuss it together. I am the same. Everything is discussed with everyone." Qiang and Wei Xiaohu, you two are relatively young and have many things to discuss with a few elders. I am not worried that Wei Xiaohu will definitely develop in terms of business operations. Ou Zhiqiang has no problem with political management. Just discuss it with the elders. If anything happens in the future, I¡¯ll just talk to you two.¡± Seeing this, Ou Zhiqiang has nothing to say but to work hard and build Indonesia well. As long as the army is fine, Li Zhenhua has notified Fangcheng to replace the weapons for the militiamen here. Now after a period of training, they are all in good condition. They also sent a small guerrilla group to Malaysia to cooperate with the Malaysian intelligence department. The guerrilla training work there began to train military personnel for the future armed separatism there, and they were ready to attack the British anytime and anywhere. The situation in the east of Indonesia is very good. This place has no owner. It is mainly controlled by the Dutch, but they can't control it. So we stretched out our hands there. The huge area is enough for these people. I believe they will. Give yourself a fullConfessed willingly. Li Zhenhua went to the Dutch Governor of Bordeaux again and told him that he was leaving. The current Governor was very comfortable. He didn't have to worry about anything. He only had to serve his wife well every day. The garrison commander, Mali, had nothing to do every day. He had fewer soldiers, but he seemed to have more authority. He regarded himself as a gentleman and originally did not agree to rob others, but those soldiers did not listen and lost their lives as a result. The other soldiers were all honest and obedient. Seeing that the military strength of those militiamen continued to grow, he knew that they even returned the money he took out just to give him face, but they might expel his army that day. Now he is staying day by day. Sometimes he even visits Wei Xiaohu to study and learn. He finds that those people's ideas and views are completely different from his own. He knows that sooner or later, this army will be the most powerful army in the world. . When they heard that Li Zhenhua was leaving, they also developed feelings for each other after a period of contact. They all planned to invite Li Zhenhua to a meal, but Li Zhenhua politely declined. Text Chapter 84 The famous anti-French general Liu Yongfu Chapter 84 Liu Yongfu, the famous anti-French general. After several days of sea voyage, Li Zhenhua returned to his Fangcheng. He had been away for a long time, but he missed his brothers very much. He took a short rest and visited various places. He was relieved to see that everything was in order. Li Zhenhua went to see Wang Chi and Feng Zicai again. Now they have been dragged to Fangcheng by Wang Xin. Li Zhenhua had originally told them to take the two old people to the hospital in Fangcheng to check their bodies with Western medicine. The matter cannot be detected by traditional Chinese medicine. After seeing them, both of them were very happy and satisfied with the villa arranged for them. They expressed their gratitude to Li Zhenhua together. Li Zhenhua said to them: "The situation here is not very good now. Wait a few years." This place will be built better. You two can help Zhao Hongyan. She is young and some things are not well thought out. You can give her more reminders." Feng Zicai said: "We brothers are not confused, you just want us to come here to enjoy ourselves. We know that girl Zhao Hongyan manages the Fangcheng in an orderly manner and you still ask us to guide her. We are simply causing more chaos." Wang Chi also said: "We accept your wishes, but we don't dare to talk nonsense here. I'm afraid it will really affect Zhao Hongyan's work, but the place here is good and we won't leave once we're here." "I have no intention of letting you leave. This house is yours, but you can stay in Fangcheng as long as you like. If you are willing to go back to Kunming for two days in Fangcheng, you can go to Kunming as long as you are happy. But one thing is that you must take good care of yourself. Our good days are ahead. You can enjoy more happiness with Wang Xin. " The two laughed happily. At this time, their full-time doctor came and said that he would check them again. Li Zhenhua came out immediately, but Feng Zicai stopped Li Zhenhua and said to him: "There is someone in Fangcheng now that you should meet." "Who is it?" "He was also an anti-French hero. It turned out that Annan's Sanxuan Admiral was the Guangdong Admiral General Liu Yongfu." "It turned out to be him. Where is he now? I must see him." "It should be in your hotel. We don't know the details." "Seniors, take a good rest and I'll go see General Liu." Li Zhenhua respects Liu Yongfu very much, not to mention himself. I have known his name since I was in elementary school, and the body I borrow now is all thanks to him. The brothers I started a business with, if he hadn't adopted these children, I don't know where I would be. What's up? When I arrived at the hotel, I asked the waiter and it turned out that he was staying here, in room 214 on the second floor. Li Zhenhua immediately went upstairs and knocked on the door softly. A rich baritone voice said, "Come in!" Li Zhenhua said lightly. Gently opening the door, he saw an old man in his fifties sitting there. Li Zhenhua stepped forward and saluted him and said, "Hello, General Liu. Li Zhenhua didn't know you were here and didn't come to see you. Please forgive me for not coming to see you." " Hearing Li Zhenhua's self-report, Liu Yongfu immediately stood up and was about to salute Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stepped forward, held Liu Yongfu's hand tightly with both hands, and said to him: "General Liu, you are our hero who resisted the French. It¡¯s my senior again. I should have gone to see you a long time ago. I don¡¯t want to let the general come here to Zhenhua.¡± ¡°General Li is not a hero compared to you, but I am far behind.¡± ¡°No, you are here. Annan and the French have been fighting hard for more than ten years. There is no one who does not admire you. " "Don't mention it. We have fought in Annan for many years, but you have not fought so well in Annan. How many people have we lost? But General, you have fought in just a few days. Taking two cities in a row makes me and you incomparable." "General, our equipment was lagging behind the French army at that time, and you defeated them with your patriotism." "I am ashamed that I lost in Annan. "There are a lot of good brothers." "General Liu, let's not talk about this. Today you are here and we will celebrate here. Please wait a moment and I will come." Li Zhenhua said goodbye to Liu Yongfu and went outside to inform the manager of the hotel. Immediately arrange a banquet for General Liu Yongfu. I want to entertain General Liu Yongfu well. Then he hurried back. The big boss entertained the guests, and all the staff in the hotel got busy. The banquet was very fast and very prosperous. Li Zhenhua and Liu Yongfu started chatting while drinking. It turns out that Liu Yongfu is now an idle man. At that time, there were not many veterans of the resistance against France left under him. The Qing government had always been worried about him and kept reducing his soldiers. From the beginning, there were only two thousand soldiers. After many people arrived, there were only more than 300 people left. Finally, he was sent to Nan'ao Island in Shantou to serve as a general soldier. This made him feel deeply in his heart.Unbalanced but unable to do anything, his soldiers were almost wiped out. In 1895, he led the army to bravely fight against the Japanese invaders. Due to the defeat of the war, he returned to his hometown. Although the court was not satisfied with him, the soldiers and civilians everywhere were very fond of him. respected. When he heard about Xinghua Group Company, he was very interested in this unknown young man and always wanted to meet him. However, because he felt ashamed for losing Taiwan, he never went to meet this young man this time. It was because of his great determination that he came to Fangcheng, which was his hometown. This time he had not been able to see the young general, which made him very depressed. When he was about to go back, Li Zhenhua came to the door. He was very happy. Liu Yongfu had actually been discouraged by the Qing government for a long time, but the actions of Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Group Company gave him the confidence to serve the country. When Li Zhenhua saw such a good person, if the Qing government doesn't use it, then he is my person. After some conversation, Li Zhenhua asked Liu Fu to come out again and go to Annan to take charge of him. Liu Yongfu readily agreed. Li Zhenhua was very happy when he heard that. It would be much better if Liu Yong went to Annan to manage the military and administrative aspects there. If Zhang Xinghua was removed and Zhang Xinghua was specially asked to enter Malaysia and be responsible for the affairs there, he would be much more relieved. Text Chapter 85 Two pairs of brothers from the United States Chapter 85 Two pairs of brothers from the United States. A group of people led by Johnson arrived at Fangcheng. Li Zhenhua personally went to the dock to greet them. Li Zhenhua paid great attention to the talents that Johnson had worked hard to dig out, and arranged their residences one by one. The villas have already arranged dedicated service staff, security personnel, and dedicated Western chefs, which make those who come feel like they are at home. Then Li Zhenhua started talking to them one by one. First, there was a problem with telephone communication. Regarding the production of this phone, Li Zhenhua didn't have to worry about it. He just installed the phone in some relevant places. The technicians had to install it first. There are military and government-level places. Then he asked Elisha Gray to continue research on telephones to improve the functions of telephones. Li Zhenhua introduced some aspects of modern telephones to Elisha Gray, and he made great improvements in this aspect. The new patent is much easier to use than the original and far surpasses the American telephone. Now the conditions here in Fangcheng are much better than before. People no longer live in those simple bamboo buildings. Now people have begun to gradually move into permanent buildings and move into small villas with different architectural styles. They are all built in beautiful places. There are so many places like this in Fangcheng. It's a long way. It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own bicycle and they can reach their work place in a short time. Li Zhenhua went deeper and first conducted research and design on automobiles with brothers Charles Durier and Frank Durier. Current automobile production is very simple, just have a big frame and put the engine on it, as long as it can drive. But Li Zhenhua It has made a large-scale improvement on the original basis. It uses a battery and installs electric lights so that it can be used for driving at night. It also installs a clutch to increase the speed of the car. It also installs a spring shock absorber to make the car less stable. It's no longer as bumpy as before. When these technologies are added to the car, the car is completely different from the original one. When brothers Charles Durier and Frank Durier saw it, it turned out that China was said to be backward. That was all nonsense. No American could think of such an idea. When they came out, they were all happy to have such a boss, which also inspired them to come up with some better ideas. Soon the latest model car in the world came out. Nowadays, the speed of cars in the United States is only more than ten kilometers per hour, but the new car produced by the two brothers can reach more than 30 kilometers per hour. The main reason is to improve the car's transmission device and drive at night. It's no problem. The headlights illuminate the front like an alley. The new shock-absorbing device allows the car to move so that people no longer feel the pain. The original car can only be said to be a plaything and cannot be used for any specific purpose. The technology of automobile production now is unmatched by the United States. Now if the car is used for work, then it will be fine. At least it can run faster than riding a horse and even faster. The first thing that was improved was the gasoline engine, which was originally developed by the brothers Charles Durier and Frank Durier. Under the guidance of Li Zhenhua's modern thinking, the engine has also been improved, with greater horsepower and smaller size. The prototype car came out, and after a period of testing, it finally passed. The rest is easy to say. First, various accessories were prepared, and then the car installation assembly line invented by Ford first appeared in Fangcheng. Brothers Charles Durier and Frank Durier are deeply lucky to have such a boss. Whenever their research reaches a dead end, the boss is guaranteed to solve the problem as soon as it arises, and his understanding of cars is absolutely out of the question. Under the guidance of his two brothers, he improved car headlights, which solved the need for night driving. Car tires and suspension problems made riding in a car no longer a suffering but a pleasure. The outer shell changed from the original square shape to a streamlined shape. It is beautiful and solves the problem of wind resistance while also expanding the space inside the car. With the prototype car, Li Zhenhua immediately reinvested in expanding the factory. It turned out that one car only took a few months. Li Zhenhua produced all the parts separately. At this time, the car did not have modern small parts. It was mainly a few large pieces put together. Then the final assembly was concentrated, which increased the work efficiency dozens of times. The first batch of cars finally left the factory. Li Zhenhua immediately trained a group of drivers. First, he gave each of his bosses and senior officers a car for them to drive again. Give feedback and make improvements. The New Year gift that Li Zhenhua promised to people turned out to be a car for each person. Everyone happily accepted it. No one was polite. First, it was fresh. Second, it was so practical. It was much better than the previous horse riding and bicycle riding. . There are also the two inventors of the airplane, the Wright brothers. They arranged accommodation for them, let them go to Xie Zuantai's airship company to participate, let them see the airship, and then let them conduct their own research and manufacture airplanes. It is necessary. Some people just want to see who can create it in this world first. Jincheng is coming againAfter receiving a telegram that he was coming to Fangcheng, Li Zhenhua immediately informed him that he could come over and he would wait for his arrival here. Jincheng arrived early the next day. It turned out that he came by airship. Li Zhenhua was very happy. A leader should seize the time like this. It is not advisable to waste time on the road. The two people worked together to study the issue of currency issuance. It turned out that they had already planned it. Now that the bank's business is on track, this matter has to be brought up. The first step is to issue silver coins based on the exchange of one tael of silver for two silver coins. It turns out that Yingyang is like this, and now people are also circulating it, which means that people have recognized this problem. Now that people have recognized it, it's easy to say that in the future, it can be issued according to this standard. The key is that if you want to issue some banknotes, Jincheng suggests that you first issue some 10 taels, 20 taels, 50 C and 100 taels. Don't issue more and less first. Issue one million taels first to see how well it is used. Then issue more in the next step. Anyway, we have enough silver, so it will be no problem. We will not consider the issue of copper coins until later. Text Chapter 86 Situ Meitang Chapter 86 Situ Meitang Li Zhenhua agreed to Jincheng¡¯s suggestion without hesitation and asked him to work it out as soon as possible after returning home and start issuing it immediately after it was approved. But Li Zhenhua asked Jincheng another question: has there been any reaction from foreign banks since the bank started working? Jincheng said: "After we opened, we had a big impact on them. The reason is that our companies originally deposited money in the Wang family's bank account, so there was no impact on deposits. But in terms of external exchange, their business was less. They should not be able to What's the benefit? They have nothing against us now, but we have to be careful in the future to prevent them from taking advantage of our loopholes. " "You must pay attention to this issue. They will never share our thoughts. We must remain highly vigilant. To prevent them from sabotaging us and preventing them from joining forces to run against us, we must control their holdings of the currency we issue. " "Okay, I must pay attention to this lesson. It is too obvious. They dare not, but it is still possible to do something secretly. "There's another thing," Jincheng said again: "If we issue silver coins, there should be a pattern on the silver coins. I want to put your image on it." "If that doesn't work, I'll give you a suggestion, just use China's best." One of the representative patterns is our Great Wall of China. Just listen to me." Jincheng promised and returned immediately. It only took one day to solve the problem. If it was by boat, it would have taken at least four days. OK. After sending Jincheng away, Li Zhenhua continued to be busy with car matters. Domestic sales were not available for the time being. Li Zhenhua asked them to sell them back to the United States immediately because the Americans had the money to buy the first batch of 150 "Great Wall Brand" cars. As soon as the car landed in San Francisco, it caused a sensation throughout the United States. Major newspapers published this news. It turns out that the Chinese, who are so backward, have produced cars that are better than American cars. The cars we produce are just not comparable to theirs. Our cars can only be hung with kerosene lamps to walk along the night streets at night, but their "Great Wall" cars use their own batteries for lighting, and the entire road is dozens of meters wide at a glance. Lit up. People can¡¯t stand it after traveling for dozens of miles in an American car, but when riding a ¡°Great Wall¡± for dozens of miles, it¡¯s like nothing¡¯s wrong. That¡¯s a pleasure. And the cars produced by ourselves at such speed can only be called "classic cars", so they have a feeling of speed. That beautiful body appearance really makes those American car manufacturers feel like they want to jump off the building. They are now only producing boxy car bodies. They are very envious of the appearance of the "Great Wall Brand" and they really want to improve it, but the patent has already been registered. If anyone wants to use our patent, I'm sorry, just give me the money. If you give me money, I will let you use my patent. If you don¡¯t take money, then bye-bye. The first batch of cars was quickly sold out. A group of far-sighted American tycoons have already boarded the ocean liner bound for China. Among them are some American tycoons. Their purpose of coming to China is very clear. They all feel that they cannot stay in the United States. After going down, you must go to China to learn and cooperate with the people there. If you want to make money, you must cooperate with China, which you originally looked down upon at all. After Li Zhenhua came back, he began to deal with some of the things he had accumulated during this period. Wang Xin had already read them and marked them for him. He took out the main ones and looked at them. There were no big changes in the international arena, but the Japanese were working hard. Their target for territorial expansion and war preparations is our northern region, but they are not ready yet and will not take action immediately. Britain, France, and Russia are resisting in Crimea, but the one who failed should be Russia. The United Kingdom is now targeting several major powers in South Africa. Now that they have no intention of taking action against China, they must seize the time to make their own preparations. It was on the ship that brought those American tycoons to China. There was an old man with yellow skin and dark eyes standing on the bow of the boat, looking towards the direction of the motherland. He was the famous overseas Chinese in the United States, Mr. Situ Meitang. He was thinking in his heart that this young man is really not simple. He has only supported him for more than a year. He is not only good in the military but also a good player in industrial enterprises. I didn't expect him to get angry so quickly. It seems that I have something to ask of him this time. It would be great if he could give me the distribution rights in one or several states. Seeing so many foreigners coming to ask for cooperation, Li Zhenhua was in a good mood and cordially greeted these guests who came from afar. However, among the large crowd, he found an old man wearing Chinese clothes. From his spirit, Li Zhenhua could Seeing that the old man was not an ordinary person, Li Zhenhua looked over with a questioning look, but no one could tell who the old man was. So Li Zhenhua immediately said to the people around him: "Go and find out who the old man is right away and tell me." Li Zhenhua was chatting with the foreigners butBut his eyes were staring at the old man. He saw others getting off the boat in a hurry, but he still looked unhurried. He waited for everyone else to get off the boat before he got off the boat. The people in charge of reception picked up all the foreigners. At this time, they saw the old man starting to get off the boat. He was in good health and pushed away. The person who wanted to help him walked down quickly. Li Zhenhua greeted him and walked closer. The old man raised his hands to Li Zhenhua and said, "Are you General Li Zhenhua?" "To me, it is Li Zhenhua." Li Zhenhua also raised his hands to the old man and said, "What do you call me, sir?" The old man laughed: "I am Situ Meitang. " Li Zhenhua was immediately stunned. Why did this old man come? Johnson didn't notify me. This made me look so ugly. He hurriedly stepped forward and held the old man's hand and said: "Mr. Situ, you miss me so much. "(This is a bit vulgar, how can it be the same as Feng Guozhang's grandson.) "I'm homesick and I'll come back to see you." "Oh, that's great. The changes in my hometown have been so great in the past few years. You should have come back a long time ago. Let¡¯s take a look. I want to treat you well this time. I really miss you.¡± ¡°Get in the car quickly,¡± he said to the people around him, ¡°You guys can help me and the old man with our luggage first.¡± Take a step forward.¡± Text Chapter 87 Cooperation with Mr. Henry Ford Chapter 87 Cooperation with Mr. Henry Ford After speaking, he personally helped the old man Situ Meitang get into his car and drove in the car himself. The old man was always full of praise for the car. Li Zhenhua asked the old man to give some opinions. The old man said: "Opinions Now I can't bring it up, I can only enjoy it." When he came to his living room, Li Zhenhua asked the old man to sit down. Of course, someone served him tea. Li Zhenhua said to the old man: "I have been looking forward to it since you helped me last time. "I'm ashamed to say it. We used to donate money and materials to the country, but our army is not good enough. I heard that you taught the French a lesson at the border and coastal defense. We really did. I'm so happy. I've never been so proud. This time, the cars you produced have brought glory to us Chinese people. Even the young guys working in the restaurant have stood up. " "If it weren't for the award, Mr. We will not do this with the support of everyone. Having said that, what do you think about returning to China this time?¡± ¡°Firstly, I¡¯ve not been back for many years, and I have something to ask for.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say it, it¡¯s too far away.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s really a bit uncomfortable. Are you embarrassed to speak?" "Please tell me, although this is the first time we have met, we have been friends for a long time, so don't be polite." "Then I said I want to open two stores specifically to sell our Great Wall cars. "Is that okay?" "It's no problem. I'll give you the American market." "How much will it cost me, General Li?" "It's a joke." Li Zhenhua immediately laughed: "You did. When you helped me, did you think about letting me repay you in the future? " "That's not true. " " In this case, I can't take a penny from you. The west side of the United States will be left to you, with San Francisco as the center. If you don't ask for another cent of deposit, it will be a slap in the face of this junior. Then I will pay you back first. " "General Li, I will tell you that this time I really brought two million taels of silver. I don't plan to take it back. " "Well, if you have a lot of money, then it's okay if you invest in it and I can offset the dividends on your car every year." "I didn't expect you to be so young. Such a big heart really puts me to shame. Well, I won¡¯t say anything more. My future company will be called Great Wall Company.¡± Just do it. Li Zhenhua immediately asked his people to notify Johnson in the United States by telegram. Cars shipped from China to the United States are sold in twelve states in the western region centered in San Francisco. The Great Wall Company of Xinghua Group's shareholder Mr. Situ Meitang is solely responsible for the settlement of their sales funds to the Xinghua Company headquarters. Other sales agents in the United States just initialed an agreement in Fangcheng and then returned to the United States for Johnson to handle the unified processing. The American tycoons who came to China visited various places in Fangcheng for a long time. They began to negotiate with Li Zhenhua one by one. However, Mr. Henry Ford said directly to Li Zhenhua: "Mr. Li, I am very interested in your automobile production line. I need it." "It's great. I also hope to cooperate with you. It will be beneficial to both of us." After some discussions, the American Ford Motor Company and the Chinese Xinghua Company cooperated to introduce Xinghua Company's cars. The final assembly line cooperates with Xinghua Company to produce the "Great Wall" automobile designed in China. The cooperation period is tentatively scheduled to be ten years. Xinghua Company handed over all the design drawings to Ford Company. The profit sharing is divided 50 to 50. The United States has invested 10 million taels in the Xinghua Group as a mission deposit. They are now prepaying the shortfall of 4 million taels to Xinghua Bank for a loan and handing over the later funds. Xinghua Group can give them a reprieve for three months. deliver. You must know that Ford had a very difficult time before developing the automobile production line. Now that I have new cars and the technology of the car production line, I can have the ability to produce quickly and be invincible in price competition. In fact, I already have the idea of ????this production line, but I have never done it well. He didn't know that Li Zhenhua plagiarized his own technology and sold it to himself. Li Zhenhua knew that he was unable to compete with them in China's actual production, but if he relied on Henry Ford's production capacity, would he be even more powerful and still far from taking off? Because of Hunter Foley¡¯s early move, he bought out all the patents of Xinghua Group. Others saw that they had nothing to do with themselves.Simply sign an agreement with Xinghua Company to be the sales agent for Xinghua Company's cars. Li Zhenhua is also very good at it. If you want the dealership rights, I'll give them to you. But you can only get the dealership rights in one or two states. If you want to get them all That won't work. The dealership rights are not given for free. Money is required as a deposit. If you want to buy a car, you have to pay a down payment in advance. With another sum of money in Li Zhenhua¡¯s hand, he will continue to expand reproduction and try his best to meet the needs of customers. At the same time, more money will be used for military construction. The Ford Company of Detroit City in the United States has put on a vigorous effort here. They have more than doubled the area of ??their factory. This time, Mr. Ford can be said to be a hundred times more confident. With the support of Chinese technology and funds, he has It is planned to have a high starting point. With the help of Chinese technicians, the new assembly line will be installed quickly. Various supporting engineering manufacturers have also completed it under their own active operations. Each factory has transported various components they produced to the warehouse of the assembly plant. Today, there will be a trial run of the automobile assembly line here. Mr. Ford invited Johnson from the American branch of Xinghua Group Company and Mr. Situ Meitang, President of Great Wall Sales Company. Also here were local officials and some reporters from the news media. He was going to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony here. A red cloth banner was laid across it. Three blond girls in costumes were holding a tray covered with velvet. Above it was a pair of scissors. Ford, Johnson, and Situ Meitang stepped forward to cut the red cloth. Mr. Ford said in a trembling voice: "Start!" Text Chapter 88 Ford buys assembly lines from us Chapter 88 Ford purchased the assembly line from us. The machine had already started running, and the trained workers began to get busy. The processes were working in an orderly manner. After a few hours, the first car rolled off the assembly line. An hour later, the second car was also completed. So they can have one car rolling off the production line every hour, so they can produce twenty-four cars every day. In the future, with the further optimization of skilled workers and equipment, the speed will be even faster. Mr. Ford breathed a long sigh of relief and finally succeeded. He succeeded with the help of the Chinese. From now on, the American car market belongs to him. No one can produce cars so fast. A lot of dollars are rolling in. Ford hugged Johnson and Situ Meitang excitedly. Tears of excitement flowed down his face. He was excited for a while before he remembered and shouted: "Bring me the champagne." The next day, every major newspaper in the United States published it. "Reports on the successful test run of Ford's automobile assembly line and the first batch of cars leaving the factory smoothly". All American newspapers were reprinting the news, and even the President of the United States sent a telegram to express his congratulations. The assembly line in the United States is running rapidly, and the number of deposits in Li Zhenhua's account is also growing rapidly. There are several telegrams on Li Zhenhua's desk in Fangcheng, including one from Mr. Henry Ford, one from Mr. Situ Meitang, the president of the Great Wall Company, and one from an American intelligence officer. They all talk about one thing, that is, the American Ford The company's assembly line successfully ran the car and began mass production. There is also a telegram from Li Hongzhang at home, saying that the Queen Mother is planning to marry her, Yaqi, who was just named Princess. She is the adopted daughter of Prince Gong. Isn¡¯t this fucking nonsense? She doesn¡¯t need to worry about my affairs. Can't care about one's own affairs. Li Zhenhua was so tormented in the south. The Queen Mother and the Emperor sitting in Beijing were also thinking about him. The governors did not say anything about him raising troops. They just said that he had his own security team, so the Queen Mother and the Emperor were not too worried. However, the report from the American Minister made The two of them couldn't sit still because his products were so popular in the United States that even the overseas Chinese in the United States benefited greatly. Those "Great Wall" cars have grown in popularity among the Chinese and overseas Chinese in the United States. Face News from the United States continued to reach Beijing through the minister to the United States. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were a little unable to sit still. What should they do with this disobedient young man? The Queen Mother had no choice at this time. Emperor Guangxu only believed that it was possible to revitalize the country and hoped that he could make it bigger. However, the Queen Mother's thoughts had to affect him. This Li Zhenhua wiped out more than 2,000 French troops in the border area in one fell swoop, but his troops had already left the border. They had all gone to Annan, and they were fighting better in Annan. He had no troops in the country, but no one dared to move. He needs to know that the soldiers in Annan are very capable of fighting. Even the French with advanced weapons cannot do it. His Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers who have not been trained for a long time are no match for him at all. It would not be entirely correct to say that his intentions were evil. He gave all his newly developed gunpowder and mortars to the Beiyang Navy. Didn¡¯t the guns and ammunition produced by his factory go to the surrounding provinces in large quantities? In his heart, he still has the Qing Dynasty. Why would he provide such selfless support without him? Guangxu also doesn't understand what is going on with Li Zhenhua. Even the things he did in the United States are not all against his own Qing Dynasty. Is it beneficial? In addition, the taxes in Guangdong, Yunnan and Guangxi have also increased significantly. Although it is not much in the country, if the whole country is the same as them, it will solve a big problem. Considering the whole "political marriage" approach of the Queen Mother, it is also a good move. If you can really get this Li Zhenhua to be your subordinate, then although this "brother-in-law" is Han, with this level of relationship, you can truly be one of your own. The capable Prince Gong may also make a comeback in the future. After some consideration, the emperor also agreed. Finally, the Empress Dowager finally made up her mind to kill a horse and treat it as a living horse doctor. It is best to achieve the goal. If it cannot achieve the goal, it will lose nothing. Isn¡¯t it just a princess picked up for free? So the Empress Dowager Cixi immediately made the decision. The edict: "Because Li Zhenhua was loyal and brave to the Qing Dynasty and won international reputation for the Qing Dynasty, at the same time, Li Zhenhua was granted the title of General of Yunnan, and was granted the title of special marriage to Princess Yaqi of Shuo, the title of consort, and other rewards" Then the Queen Mother immediately arranged for people to be given. As the betrothal envoy, she chose Sun Yuwen, Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of War. The deputy betrothal envoy was Xiao Shanzi, the eunuch who went to the south last time. Yeshan Xiao Shanzi had done a good job last time and now he is no longer a young eunuch. A general manager. Ordinarily, it is time to set off after everything has been arranged, but the biggest worry in the Queen Mother's heart has not been eliminated, that is, she still doesn't know whether Li Zhenhua is willing to be the son-in-law of the royal family. If this team of people leaves in a mighty manner, what if that one is disobedient? It would be a big loss to the royal family if you can't get off the stage. Seeing that the Queen Mother had not made any movement, the Emperor knew that she was doing something for her.The emperor was anxious about this matter and immediately said: "Let Tang Jiong go and test Li Zhenhua's tone first." The Queen Mother immediately said to Li Lianying happily: "Little Li, go and send a telegram to Tang Jiong according to the emperor's wishes." Go and do this." So a telegram arrived in Kunming. Tang Jiong saw that I had really become a full-time "matchmaker." I had just done that thing for Li Zhenhua, and now something like this has happened in Beijing. It seems that I will have to do this in my life. I am tied to this guy named Li, so why is his marriage related to mine? He chuckled to himself: "I have become Li Zhenhua's full-time matchmaker, why am I in charge of his marriage?" He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, then arranged for someone to go to Fangcheng. Now he is used to notifying the airship when he goes out. Although the company prepared an airship that was risky, it was ultimately better than traveling long distances. So an airship quickly arrived at Fangcheng. After arriving here, I asked, "It turned out that Li Zhenhua was not in Fangcheng. He had gone to Nanning. He said he would be back soon. It turned out that something happened again in Guangxi. It was not a big deal. I heard that it was just a matter of migrant workers asking for wages." Tang Jiong said in his heart: "What kind of thing is this?" Isn¡¯t it just a little bit of wages from the workers? It¡¯s nothing special.¡± Text Chapter 89 Full-time ¡°Matchmaker¡± Chapter 89 Full-time "Matchmaker" Tang Jiong couldn't help but noticed that it was still early, so he decided to go to Fangcheng City to learn about the economic development here. Although he knew that the development here was very fast, he had never taken a good look at it this time. Take a look if you get a chance. When I came to the street, I saw that the street was very spacious. The straight and wide roads in the street were all paved with cement. They were flat and spacious. There were many trees, flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road. Every day, people were managing and cleaning the street to maintain the flowers, plants and trees. All looked very clean and tidy. There are some merchants' shops on both sides. There are many kinds of daily consumer goods and they are also very complete. However, the things here should be relatively expensive. Ordinary people generally cannot afford them, but the workers here have high wages for these goods. It should be affordable. People here have a lot of money. Ordinary people can live for a year with just two taels of silver a year. The basic salary here is twenty-four taels of silver every year. It is paid to the workers in time every month. The income of the Qing Dynasty people is the yearly expenses of the people of Qing Dynasty. Is there any way for them not to waste their money? Many people are riding Fangcheng's self-produced "Dongfang brand" bicycles on the street. From time to time, some cars pass by on the road. These are things that Kunming dare not think of. Although there are some people riding bicycles in Kunming now, there are more in Kunming. Some people still ride in sedans, some are official sedans, some are carried by two people used by businessmen, and some people are riding in sedans pulled by animals. Most people are walking. The most obvious thing at this time is that people are in good spirits. Unlike in many places and in Kunming, where people squat on the wall and chat with nothing, their faces have a dull expression. People here are beaming with energy. If you have money to buy anything, you won¡¯t worry about not having enough money. Another phenomenon is that people here move very quickly, as if there is something urgent. Tang Jiong thought, this is probably the efficiency problem that Li Zhenhua often talks about. People here are obvious. It's very efficient. When I look at the designs of some houses on the street, they are also very good. All the construction is arranged very reasonably. It seems that everything here must be planned to a certain extent, unlike some old places where if you want to plan something, you must demolish some buildings. When you come here, you have certain plans in every aspect. After wandering on the street for a while, it was getting late and he was a little tired, so he returned to the hotel. The waiter opened the door for him and turned on the light for him, making him feel that everything was new. After the waiter left, he turned on the light. I pulled the switch several times with my hands and found it very interesting. There is electricity everywhere here at night. Even the streets have electric lights, but there is no electricity in the governor's office. This shows how big the gap is. Tang Jiong is now thinking a lot. He has been deeply moved by Li Zhenhua. Why does this young man have so many strange thoughts? In terms of military affairs, he dared to win by surprise. The results showed that he was not foolhardy but fought a sure battle. In terms of economy, he was very different from others. He dared to take the road that others had not gone before and boldly developed mines, built railways, built shipyards, and built automobile cities. There were also some He is also doing things that others can't understand, such as the underwater machine, and he himself can't see the use of that thing. But he not only studies it himself, but even invites foreigners to study it. This is really disappointing. People are a little confused. Until the evening, Li Zhenhua still hadn¡¯t come back, so Tang Jiong thought that he might as well go to Nanning tomorrow to improve his work efficiency, so he took a rest early. Early the next morning, he called the hotel manager. It turned out that they didn't like to call the manager here, but the manager. So Tang Jiong asked her: "Girl, I want to go to Nanning. How can we get there easily?" "The hotel manager immediately said: "Mr. Tang, if you want to go to Nanning, we can arrange horse riding, airship or sedan ride for you, but you'd better take the train to go quickly and safely." Tang Jiong came as soon as he heard this. Jingdao: "Okay, I'll just listen to you and I'll take the train there." "Then you should hurry up. There happens to be a train leaving at ten o'clock. I'll give you a call and ask them to leave you a sleeper berth or a seat. "What do you mean?" Tang Jiong decided to leave a few sleepers. He didn't have many people and it was more comfortable. After a while, the female manager came back and said, "Everything has been arranged. I will send someone to send you two at nine o'clock sharp." A car is enough." This made the dignified governor unable to even eat breakfast. He hurried to the train station and saw that the main building of the train station had been basically completed. The traditional cornices had ancient traditional colors. The public's needs are not as detailed as those of the government. The top three characters on the roof of the hall are "Fangcheng Station" and a huge clock with the hour hand pointing straight to nine-thirty. The steady bell rang once. It was half o'clock. The bell on the hour was six. When I entered the waiting hall, I saw that it was filled with rows of people.The chairs made of bamboo are convenient for people to sit while waiting for the bus. After passing the ticket check-in area, you entered the platform. There were three railway lines running across it. There was already a train parked there. Since it was the departure station and it was also a trial run, there were not many people here. But Tang Jiong¡¯s carriage is also different from others. It is a special train that will be used by Li Zhenhua as a military commander. The design of the car is relatively complete but not luxurious. The toilet, bedroom, conference room, reception room, guard seats, etc. all have a dining car right in front where you can bring food to or eat there. At nine o'clock, the locomotive roared and the train set off. The train was indeed running smoothly. The green earth outside the window quickly receded behind it. This was so amazing. This was the first time in Tang Jiong's life that he had ridden on this thing. It was really good. He couldn't help but feel He sighed: "Such a good thing, but the people in the court tried every means to prevent it from being built. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang was smart and built a section of the garden for the Queen Mother (but the railway there was not towed by a locomotive but by a group of little eunuchs. But how can you appreciate the speed of the railway if you are pulling it?) This led him to start building railways, but there were not many sections of railways in the country." Text Chapter 90 Kill one to serve as a warning to others Chapter 90: Kill one person as a warning to hundreds This is the gap. There are still people in China who are blocking this matter. But if this train is used to transport troops in the future, it will be much faster. Many merchants can also speed up the delivery of goods. Li Zhenhua said it well: If you want to get rich, you must first build uneven mountain roads, which will greatly limit the speed at which people can get rich. The railway line from Fangcheng to Nanning is more than 300 miles. If the original Tea Horse Road is longer, it is mainly due to the construction of the railway, the reconstruction of some bridges and the opening of several caves, making the road closer. It was a trial run, so the journey took a little longer. It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon when Tang Jiong arrived in Nanning. After getting off the car, he immediately went to see Guangxi Governor Xu Yanxu. "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?" Tang Jiong looked a little embarrassed and had to say directly to him: "I have something to see Mr. Li from above. I heard that he came to your place and ran over to find me. It's nothing." Mr. Xu, please don't have any other ideas about the matter." As soon as Xu Yanxu heard that the superiors were looking for Li Zhenhua, he hurriedly told Tang Jiong that Li Zhenhua was at the construction site. There was nothing going on and he would be back soon, so he asked Tang Jiong to wait with him. In the evening, when Li Zhenhua came back, the problem was not serious, but Li Zhenhua thought it was a major matter and it would be impossible not to handle it seriously. It turns out that there is a businessman named Kang Youcai in Guangxi who spent 5,000 taels of silver to donate an official position. He is now a registered prefect. The donated official position cannot be taken up immediately. He has to wait for the opportunity. If a vacancy arises, he will have to send money to the superiors later. Only then can he get the real job and become a real official. Before he became an official, he invested a lot of money. Now he is gearing up and looking for opportunities to make money. This time, there is a temporary official job for him to do, and it is still It was a lot of money for a fat man to build the railway. He felt that the opportunity had come and he wanted to make a good profit this time. He couldn't withhold real raw materials, such as rails, sleepers, etc. He didn't have the power. Although he was jealous, he couldn't help it. He just said in his heart that these managers were too stupid to have such a good opportunity to make money. Like a fool, if you work for a long time and just earn a small amount of salary, how much will it cost? As the saying goes: "A good man does not earn a lot of money." He could only finish the matter in his mind, but he just had no place to start. But when it came time to deal with the farmers below, as soon as he saw an opportunity, he started to pay compensation for farmers' land, wages for earthmoving workers, etc. He wanted to start in this area, but because the railway management in these places was very difficult, Strictly speaking, it was not easy for him to start. But when he went to some villages below to pay compensation to farmers, he found that the opportunity finally came, so he underreported the acres of land and then compensated the compensation of 50 taels for 20 taels and the compensation for three taels. He only paid ten taels for the ten taels. In this way, he also made some money. In addition, he was afraid that the matter would be discovered, so he also used the money to stop some people's mouths. The people did not notice these things at first, which made him proud for a few days, but soon some people When they found out that people in other places received much more compensation than they did here, people began to collude in private. Later, things got serious and caused a very bad impact. Xu Yanxu, the governor of Guangxi, donated Kang Youcai to his official family, so he made a certain contribution to the Qing Dynasty's finances. Besides, even though they ate and drank together every day, they took their money and ignored him. But the matter got into the hands of Zhan Tianyou, the general manager of the Railway Construction Corporation. Zhan Tianyou is an honest and honest man. He will never tolerate these things in his eyes. He asked Kang Youcai to withdraw the money and give it to the farmers again. But Kang Youcai had already spent a lot of money. How could he get it back? When it came out, he felt that Zhan Tianyou was an engineer in a private enterprise, and his boss was not a high official. He didn't take Zhan Tianyou's words to heart. Later, Zhan Tianyou pressed him harder, and instead went to Zhan Tianyou to bribe him. As a result, Zhan Tianyou asked Zhan Tianyou to give him a bribe. He rushed out and reported the matter to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua was very angry when he heard about this. This is definitely not a trivial matter. If this matter is not handled well, it will lead to very bad results. Farmers were originally opposed to the construction of the railway because they may have cultivated the land for several generations. Now you build the railway and occupy the land. Although some compensation was given for acquiring people's land, as farmers, land is more important than life. You can't compensate people every year. If this matter spreads, the resistance to future railway construction will increase a lot. . Furthermore, corrupt officials must be dealt with seriously. If they are not dealt with, more corrupt officials will appear in the future, and national construction will be even more difficult in the future. Therefore, they must be dealt with severely, and those who are associated with them must be dealt with as well. We must not let this trend go unchecked. If the wind rises, it will be much more difficult to manage it later. So when he heard the news, he immediately came over personally and organized his own agents to investigate him. He also imprisoned him, but told the outside world that he would be sent to other places to deal with it.Because of some things, the governor of Guangxi didn't know his specific situation and didn't take it as a big deal. Those agents of the intelligence department are all elites. Under Li Zhenhua's supervision, it only took a few days to figure out the matter. In total, they visited more than a hundred villages in several counties and got to know the names and place of origin of the people who were short-changed. They also asked them to draw and sign on the paper. Although Kang Youcai also made a lot of small moves here to intimidate the people, when things came to bear on personal interests, people were no longer afraid, and they all actively exposed Kang Youcai's corruption crimes. Kang Youcai underpaid a total of 4,562 taels in land compensation and 3,700 taels in land compensation and 1,340 taels in wages to migrant workers on the railway lines of more than 100 miles in these counties. Two taels. The total amount of embezzled cash was 9,604 taels. Li Zhenhua came to Xu Yanxu with this number. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Jiong, who was also thinking about beating them all. He put the pile of information on Xu Yanxu's table with a sullen face: "Just ask Mr. Xu to take a look." Li Zhenhua was determined to kill him as a warning to others. If he doesn't do this, it will be much more difficult in the future. Text Chapter 91 Master Qingtian Chapter 91 Mr. Qingtian Xu Yanxu knew something was wrong when he saw Li Zhenhua¡¯s face. This person was rude. He hurriedly looked at Tang Jiong. Tang Jiong now had nothing to do with him. Secondly, he wanted to do the same as Li Zhenhua. He was engaged in reforms, so his heart was still leaning toward Li Zhenhua, but he also wanted to reduce the matter to a trivial matter, because as an official in this era, it is better not to offend too many people. I don¡¯t know who that person is. Ruined his own future. Xu Yanxu looked at those things briefly and asked: "Master Li, how do you think this matter should be handled?" "How to handle it?" Li Zhenhua became angry when he heard this: "Mr. Why did you come to ask me when you came to report this matter?" When Xu Yanxu heard that this matter was not easy to handle, he had to explain to Li Zhenhua: "Master Li, you misunderstood me. Don't you respect Mr. Li? I want to listen to you first? We will deal with it later.¡± When Tang Jiong saw that it would be difficult to let Li Zhenhua get angry like this, he made peace and said, ¡°Don¡¯t get angry and talk slowly.¡± The matter has been completely understood. Now all that remains is to deal with it. According to your laws, what should be done? It can¡¯t be that there is nothing wrong with embezzling money.¡± ¡°This this¡± Tang Jiong looked at Xu Yanxu and was speechless. He hurriedly took over the words: "Whether this matter is handled in a big or small way depends on how Mr. Li wants to handle it." "What do you want me to do?" Li Zhenhua sneered: "I'm not an official. I said it again. "It doesn't count." At this time, Li Zhenhua really thought that he was an official and could settle the matter with these people. The evidence was conclusive that he had embezzled nearly 10,000 taels of silver and had a bad impact. He might arouse public anger again. If the government forced the people to rebel, they would at least give him the death penalty. It would be considered polite not to inflict the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty on him. Tang Jiong has already seen that Li Zhenhua is going to kill someone, but because he is not an official, he can't say this. But what is he here to do now? He will soon be the prince-in-law, and he is a member of the royal family. Why is this old Xu so stupid? As soon as he saw it, he hurriedly said to Li Zhenhua: "Master Li, please wait while I go outside to talk to Master Xu." He did not use pronouns such as "please excuse me". Li Zhenhua also knew that it was not easy for them to kill someone, so he asked the two of them to go outside to discuss. Tang Jiong took Xu Yanxu outside and hurriedly said to Lao Xu: "Master Xu, please stop hesitating and kill someone quickly." "Master Tang, killing someone is not something that can be done in just one sentence. You have to let me handle it slowly." " Alas!" Tang Jiong sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you now. The man who asked me to be the matchmaker when I came to Fangcheng this time is this lady, Mr. Li. Who do you think it is?" Xu Yanxu said to Tang? Jiong said anxiously: "Master Tang, how old are you? Don't be too secretive. Just tell the truth." "The woman is Princess Yaqi of Heshuo whom Prince Gong has just made." "Ah!" Xu Yanxu almost breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it. He didn't come up, but the cold sweat came down immediately. It's a shame that this person is going to be his brother-in-law right away. How can he be so stupid and blindly ink with his brother-in-law? If he asks to be killed, he should be killed right away. At most, he can only use money from the prefect Kang's filial piety to him. Just give it to his family. Xu Yanxu wiped his sweat and said, "Master Tang, you have to save me. Let's go back and I will declare my position immediately. We can't delay the killing. If we delay this, we won't be able to save it." He patted the top of his head with his hand. Tang Jiong said: "I'm afraid it's not just a problem with the roof, maybe there will be no one to eat." Xu Yanxu said: "Yes, you must speak for me when you get inside." "Okay, please hurry up and ask me. "Okay." As soon as they came back together, Xu Yanxu immediately said to Li Zhenhua: "Ah, if Mr. Li is a corrupt person according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, he should be executed, but the court officials will have to deal with it." It needs to be reported to the Ministry of Punishment for review. Even if the Ministry of Punishment approves the execution, it will not be executed until after the autumn. I would like to ask Mr. Li how to deal with this." Li Zhenhua also remembered that this rule existed in the Qing Dynasty, so he said: "Then first. Send a notice to recover the money he embezzled and return it to the people. First, comfort the farmers who want to cause trouble. Tell them that Kang Youcai has been sentenced to death and has been reported to the court. Waiting for the approval from above, the governor's Yamen will give everyone the money first. Make up for the loss and prevent the people from suffering. If the people don't agree, kill him immediately. He will never be allowed to stay." After hearing Li Zhenhua's opinion, the Guangxi governor's office started to operate as quickly as possible: "Kang Youcai's property was copied immediately. He got back all the remaining money he spent and at the same timeThe property was sold and handed over to the governor's yamen. Master Xing Ming immediately studied how to write the upward text and how to deal with Kang Youcai's notice. Master Qianliang also started to take action and wrote a public apology notice to the common people. Then a group of scholars were invited They came and asked them to copy hundreds of copies of the announcement. Qing soldiers from all over the country also took action and went to the villages below to post announcements and read out the handling of Kang Youcai and the governor's yamen's apology to the common people. Governments in various places also Take action and go down below with the money to make up for the money owed to the common people. Seven days The problem was completely solved in just seven days. The common people did not expect that the matter would be solved so quickly. People in several counties sent umbrellas of all people and plaques of "Mirror Hanging High" to the governor's street gate early in the morning. The drumming troupe of folk artists also played drums and firecrackers, and the common people came to the street to watch. Xu Yanxu didn't dare to accept the Ten Thousand People Umbrella and the plaque that the common people had handed over and compiled because he knew it was not his own credit. If he dared to take the credit, the consort would be unhappy if he got it. He was afraid that he would not be able to save his belongings if he went there to eat, but the common people knelt down in front of the yamen and a large area spread out. If he didn't agree, the common people would not get up and keep shouting: "Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, thank you, Mr. Qingtian." Text Chapter 92 Wife? Concubine? Chapter 92 Wife? Concubine? At the same time, some scholars and scholars posted notices to the governor's office demanding that Kang Youcai be beheaded immediately, saying that the people would be angry if he did not kill him. Xu Yanxu was really embarrassed at this time. He wanted to discuss it with Li Zhenhua or Tang Jiong, but neither of them were there. They had already returned to Fangcheng. This really made him unable to sit or stand. In the end, the master asked him to accept the post first and then go to Fangcheng to tell Li Zhenhua about this matter. Mr. Li asked Mr. Li to make a decision. Xu Yanxu saw that there was no other good way and had to accept it first. . He didn¡¯t dare to make the decision on this second matter, so he had to accept it and discuss it with Li Zhenhua before he could answer it. The next day, he immediately took the train to Fangcheng in person and asked Li Zhenhua how to deal with it. Tang Jiong started to be his "matchmaker" again in Li Zhenhua's office in the Border City. He explained the meaning of the Queen Mother and the Emperor to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua already knew about it from Li Hongzhang's secret channel and his own intelligence department, but he couldn't say that he already knew, so he still had to pretend to be stupid. To say that the Queen Mother and the Emperor really went through such a big detour to achieve such a goal, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, but this smile could only be a bitter smile because his thoughts were still based on modern monogamy. The concept is already deeply ingrained. Besides, he and Wang Xin were not married yet, so why did this happen again? Li Zhenhua refused at the time. When Tang Jiong saw that there was nothing to talk about, Tang Jiong immediately said: "General, I'm going back first. Please don't rush to reply. Think about it first." Tang Jiong was very smart. He knew that it would be difficult for him to convince this stubborn donkey. If he disagrees with this issue, no one can convince him. He has no choice but to retreat and let Li Zhenhua think about it first. He is going to find someone else to help him as a lobbyist. It's not a big deal for anyone to talk to him. It depends on what he means. The only people he respects are Wang Chi, Feng Zicai and Situ Meitang. Why don't I talk to them about this matter? Tang Jiong's heart brightened. Now these people are in Fangcheng. Li Zhenhua picked them up in order to check the health of Feng Zicai and Wang Chi. After that, he made excuses to leave them behind and asked them to help supervise and help Zhao Hongyan in power. This new city government and Situ Meitang had already returned from his hometown to say goodbye to Li Zhenhua and prepare to return to the United States. Thinking of this, Tang Jiong couldn't help but said in his heart: "It's really God's help. It's great. With the help of these people, there is no one who can't convince him." Tang Jiong hurriedly contacted these old people. They were all in Fangcheng. It can be said that they were quickly removed. The three of them found one. Tang Jiong told everyone about the marriage proposal of the Queen Mother. Everyone turned their eyes to Wang Chi. Why? Because there is one of his grandnieces in front, right? This Wang Chi is also a person who knows the general situation. Everyone is looking at him when he sees him. After all, he is also a person of this era. This matter is normal, so he speaks first: "Everyone, taking concubines is not a big deal. Who is it now?" It's not like that. He has three wives and four concubines. It's like the original Hu Xueyan, the God of Wealth. He has twelve wives. Even so, he has a mistress in every semicolon in various places. In this way, his wives and concubines can be counted. I don¡¯t know. His own home is called the twelfth floor. He gave each of his twelfth-bedroom wives a small building. But the problem is this. Zhenhua has long said that he only married Xin'er and would not marry anyone else." "Alas. "Tang Jiong said: "Not only this problem, there is another thing. Mr. Li is not married yet. If the princess comes, then she will be Miss Wang Xin who has been in love with Mr. Li for such a long time. Then she will become Miss Wang Xin. This is something Mr. Li will not agree to. "It's quite difficult for a few people to put the problem forward. It seems that Li Zhenhua's matter is really difficult to handle. Situ Meitang spoke at this time: "Several people say that this is a good thing. Mr. Li is a businessman himself. Three wives and four concubines are nothing at all. But if he adds a layer of official cloak, his future business will It will be easier to do. As for the issues he disagrees with and who is older, I think he needs to solve the problem by himself. " Old man Feng Zicai also said: "Master Li looks at things like ordinary people. Different problems have their own way of dealing with them. We can only give him a little drumbeat. Mr. Wang also said just now that there are three wives and four concubines. So let¡¯s make Gege and Xin¡¯er both wives. Let¡¯s talk about the concubine¡¯s problem later.¡± Tang Jiong looked at everyone and said, ¡°That¡¯s all I can do. I just want you to talk to General Li and ask for your help when the time comes. I¡¯ll treat you all to a drink when the time comes.¡± Situ Meitang said, ¡°If it¡¯s successful then, you won¡¯t be needed, then Mr. Li won¡¯t be able to treat me.¡± After saying this, several old people burst into laughter. So who is Yaqi Gege¡¯s wife? also? Concubine? Then I don¡¯t know and let Li Zhenhua solve it by himself. They came together to find Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua was in his room and Wang Xin was also talking quietly. Li Zhenhua did not hide it from her. He had already told Wang Xin everything that Tang Jiong told him about the Queen Mother's proposed marriage. For Wang Xin, he did not have the consciousness of a modern person. Hiding something from her is just a solution for the two of them to discuss together. At first, when Wang Xin heard the news, she couldn't accept it. But when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, although she was unwilling to share her man with another person, women in that era were themselves subordinate to men. There is no way to make your own choices. According to ordinary people, they can only accept their fate. But as Wang Xin, she is different from other women. Although she is young, she has been with Li Zhenhua for a long time. She has a very clear understanding of his way of doing things. As for her, she is not an ordinary person, so she must From a long-term perspective, the first problem is that the current environment prevents her from completely opposing it. Secondly, as Li Zhenhua's wife, she must have such an awareness that political marriage or three wives and four concubines are very likely to occur. Wang Chi had disclosed this matter to her before, although she didn't listen to it at the time. Now, once this happened, she was already mentally prepared. Although she complained to Li Zhenhua, her grandfather's words echoed in her mind. Rina can only handle this matter and make it a good thing. For her lover, she can do anything. Even if she dies, it is worth it for her husband, not to mention just marrying another person. Woolen cloth? Text Chapter 93 New Ideas for Cruisers Chapter 93 New Ideas for Cruisers On this issue, several people had completely unanimous opinions and quickly agreed to establish a university-level school in Fangcheng, and establish three senior high schools in Kunming, Nanning, and Guangzhou respectively in each state, prefecture, and municipality. Counties that meet certain conditions must establish junior high schools. Each county must have one or several new-style primary schools. In such primary schools, not only liberal arts such as the Four Books and Five Classics must be studied, but mathematics must also be studied. Above junior high school, chemistry, military, and physics must be studied. It is necessary to study by subject, including various professional knowledge, etc. Regarding the funding issue, each province will take part of it and Xinghua Group will sponsor another part. Several people all agreed. After sending away these matchmakers, Li Zhenhua restructured his military school to address educational issues. He transformed the teaching team for training non-commissioned officers into a non-commissioned officer school. In addition, he established a military academy, which included a temporary command school for short-term training. In some subjects, the textbooks of these schools have to be compiled by themselves. Who knows more about this than others? It can only be their responsibility. In terms of non-commissioned officers, on the original basis, a special forces training officer school has been added, and a command and staff professional naval part has been added. With Sa Zhenbing, it is only a branch. The airship school is temporarily placed in Xie Zuantai's manufacturing factory. From now on, they will all have to go out on their own. Now the three military governors of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces have seen the shortcomings of their own troops, so the three of them are also entrusting Li Zhenhua to help with training. Li Zhenhua said to them that you should not expect what the original army will do, and you must find a way to use the old army. The army is eliminated and a new army is established. The army no longer relies on large numbers but strong combat effectiveness, but requires elite soldiers. Therefore, the armies of the three provinces are still nominally large in number, but their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved through new training. The laid-off soldiers were also settled and most of them were resettled in enterprises in various places. The veterans and some heavy smokers paid them resettlement fees and let them go back to their hometowns. Since the soldiers in the three provinces were all trained by Li Zhenhua's teaching team, these soldiers have gone through their education and they have deep feelings. If anything happens, they will run away automatically if the instructors say a word. In fact, Li Zhenhua will be able to control the grassroots officers and soldiers in the three provinces in the future. Li Zhenhua nominally has no soldiers in the country, but his militia tactics are very clever. The security organization of each enterprise is a well-known militia organization, which has a fixed time every month for military training. His training team has nearly three members. A large number of thousands of troops were sent to the armies of the three provinces as instructors. At the same time, they also had their own troops in the Qing army. The most typical one is his railway construction army, which is an army. The organization of migrant workers is the same as that of the army. The organization below is squad, platoon, and company, and above that is squadron (battalion), brigade (regiment), and above that. That is, the branch (brigade) company (division). If Li Zhenhua wanted to take action against the Qing government, he could only mobilize two divisions of domestic troops, not counting the foreign troops. If we add the foreign part, he can mobilize four or five divisions at the same time. According to Li Zhenhua's current equipment and overall combat level, the Qing army is vulnerable and will soon be able to reach Beijing. However, Li Zhenhua clearly knows that the neighbor to the east has been thinking of attacking us. China is the place they have always wanted. So he was unwilling to take action against the Qing government now and let the Japanese take advantage of China's civil strife. He wanted to get rid of the Japanese first after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, and then bring down the corrupt and backward Qing government. Now there are more than 10,000 workers in our huge shipyard. Their current task is to build cargo ships to fully train their workers and technical forces and accumulate experience. Now they have mastered many of the most advanced technologies in the world. If you can't study well, just poach people. On the surface, the relationship with the French is OK. Because of their "Green Water Navy" plan, several top-level designers have been quietly poached to Dubai Drom. Although because of their age, Although he did not come, his assistant was invited. The equipment from the French shipyard was already on its way to China. Dubai Drom's assistant is a beautiful French girl named Esmere, who is known as a rare genius in the French ship design industry. She has a cheerful and lively personality unique to the French. She gave Li Zhenhua a smile when she first met her. She gave him a warm hug and kiss, which made Wang Xin very unhappy. But when she saw Li Zhenhua's awkward expression, she couldn't help but laugh. At first, Li Zhenhua thought she was just a vase with an empty appearance, but during subsequent contacts, he discovered that this woman was really unusual. Her design ideas were different from others. But she didn't expect that Li Zhenhua, an outsider, would put forward so many suggestions and ideas that even an expert could not make. The first cruiser was designed by himThrough their constant modifications, they came up with a displacement of 5,400 tons and a speed of 25 knots (this is compared with Yoshino, Yoshino is 23 knots). It uses a three-expansion reciprocating boiler and three main guns, and is designed with three 260 mm twin turrets. The twelve 150mm secondary guns, one at the front and one at the back on the central axis, are all rapid-fire cannons. The hull adopts the latest French bulging design. Li Zhenhua thought that if he encountered Japan's Sanjing ship, he could solve them by himself. The speed, firepower, and protection are much stronger than them. In Asia, except for the two battleships Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, there is no other warship with stronger firepower than this cruiser. Now the Japanese are building some cruisers, but they are only faster than the Beiyang Navy's warships, gunfire and In terms of protection, it is not good. They use a new type of picric acid, but they have already replaced the gunpowder of the Beiyang Navy. The Japanese have no advantage. In addition, their hidden warships can attack airships and hidden underwater. The submarine force will be able to give them a drink when the time comes. This time they must defeat their navy. Text Chapter 94 The dowry is required first Chapter 94: The dowry first Esmir thought that Li Zhenhua was about to start building this warship that he was satisfied with. But Li Zhenhua smiled at everyone and said: "This design is very easy to pass! Just listen to me when to start construction." "Esmil didn't know why this man with his mind full of strange ideas said this, so he just shrugged and went back to his design room. Why doesn't Li Zhenhua start production now? He has his own plans. As long as he starts production, others will definitely get the news. If the Japanese know about it and they buy new warships, his advantage will be gone, and a new one will have to be formed. A naval arms race would not be of any benefit to you. You are currently in the development stage and cannot engage in an arms race with them. Then you need to press on and prepare some necessary components first. For example, the cannon must be produced first, and the power part must be prepared in advance. Other components must be prepared in advance. The steel must be prepared just like the car, and then the assembly and production can be carried out at that time. The time can be advanced. The remaining assembly work will only take a few months. However, we cannot prepare one ship, so we need to prepare two ships. When it was born, it formed a fleet with the original "Taishan". If it were just two ships, it would be smaller. The international situation should be stable in the past two or three years, so you can use this short period of time to stockpile military supplies in large quantities and continue to make money. When the war breaks out, you will not have as much energy to make money. First of all, there must be a large amount of refined oil. Cars, airships, and warships that use oil will also use heavy oil in the future. There are no oil fields in the south of China, so we have to import some for storage. At the same time, we must also exploit the Yumen Oil Field, but this transportation problem is not Small, there is another place, that is the Shengli Oilfield in Shandong, which is the second largest oil field in modern China. But now if the Qing government wants the land there, there must be an excuse. Anyway, there must be a base in the north. Once it is with Japan The battlefield is in the north. If you want to establish a base in the north to reserve war preparation materials, it is best to be in Shandong or Tianjin. Li Hongzhang has the final say in these places. He should not embarrass himself if he borrows the place from him. of. Li Zhenhua's eyes were fixed on the mouth of the Yellow River. He had been standing there for two hours. Wang Xin knew at a glance that he was planning to go there again, but he didn't know why Li Zhenhua was interested in that barren land. There are some wetlands and alluvial plains of the Yellow River. There is no government at the county level. The population is sparse and there is not much farmland. She thought Li Zhenhua wanted to station troops there to defend against the Japanese, but it didn't look like that from his demeanor. Something happened. So she gently asked: "You see, you have been looking at that place for a long time. Is there anything wrong with it?" Li Zhenhua turned back and said with a smile: "You don't know that there is a treasure land there. From now on, it will be ours. "I want to enter it now to make preliminary preparations." "It turns out you are not planning to use this place to deal with the Japanese." "This is partly a factor, but it is not the main one. There is a lot of oil here that we will need in the future. This is behind Weihai, where we can help the Beiyang Navy defend its coastal defense positions." Wang Xin had a look of incomprehension on his face. Li Zhenhua knew that he had revealed his words and hurriedly said to her: "There is no one here now. If we occupy it in advance, we can produce a lot of food." Wang Xin heard that there was a problem in his words, but because she had always obeyed Li Zhenhua's words, she did not continue to ask further. She just said: "If you want it, just buy it." "That's two or three counties. If you buy it, you'll get a lot of money." "It's a barren land and you don't need much money to buy it." "No, we can't. The money must be spent wisely and not be wasted." Wang Xin suddenly said: "I have a way for you to get this place without spending money." "What way? Tell me." The princess can just come forward and ask the court to give her this dowry. " Li Zhenhua's eyes lit up. Yes, this is a good idea. But it is not easy to say this from Wang Xin's mouth. It takes so much effort from her. With such a broad mind, he couldn't help but put Wang Xin's delicate body in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her gently. Wang Xin snuggled into his arms like a well-behaved kitten. Her body was slightly a little bit Trembling. Li Zhenhua looked at the land carefully. The south part belongs to Le'an County, Qingzhou Prefecture. The north part belongs to Lijin County, Wuding Prefecture. To the north is the Yellow River and to the east is the Bohai Sea. However, the beaches there are alluvial from the Yellow River and are too shallow to be suitable for building ports. Otherwise, there are It would be much better to build a military port. An area of ??more than 9,000 square kilometers. Here in Fangcheng, the sky is high and there is nothing far away from the emperor. It¡¯s really hard to say if there is a place there, but the best way is to send troops to farm and carry out military reclamation there.?Let these southern warriors go to the north to familiarize themselves with the environment. After all, the southern warriors are not used to the north. None of my own soldiers who were not wearing military uniforms had anything to say. The two of them were having dinner when suddenly the lights went out. The girl who had already been prepared quickly lit the candle. Power outages due to insufficient power are common power problems that have troubled Li Zhenhua for a long time. If this doesn't work all the time, you should think of a way to solve this problem. It turns out that Li Zhenhua built the power plant in Fangcheng, but this place is obviously a big consumer of electricity. Now it has occupied a lot of ships to transport coal for power generation. Li Zhenhua also wants to build two more power plants in Langshan and Shanxi in Annan. If the wires are directly transported, a large amount of transportation capacity can be saved, and a large number of cargo ships can be freed up for other transportation. After Li Zhenhua proposed it, Wang Xin immediately calculated that the investment in the first step would be larger, but it would be much better in the future and save a lot of things. But now many technical problems still cannot be solved, so we should find a way to start a railway first. Anyway, the current railway technology only needs Zhan Tianyou and his students. If we still can't solve the locomotive problem by ourselves, then we should use the American ones first. They have theirs. I will definitely have my own in the future. In addition, China's southwest region is rich in water resources, and it is also considering building some small hydropower plants in Yunnan. Tang Jiong has said many times that the construction here should be completed first to meet the needs of its own industry in this area, and at the same time to accumulate some experience. Then build a large hydroelectric power plant there. Text Chapter 95 Issuance of Silver Dollars Chapter 95 Issuing Silver Dollars Li Zhenhua received Jincheng from Guangzhou again. This time Jincheng brought the silver dollar and banknotes he designed and put a shining silver dollar on the table. Li Zhenhua picked it up and looked at it carefully. It looks more grand than the original Yingyang. On one side is the word "One Yuan" in capital letters. Below it is issued by Xinghua Bank. A few small characters are followed by China's representative pattern, the Great Wall. The weight is 7 centimeters and 6 cents, and the loss is removed like this. It is exactly the original one. In the future, it will be easier to distribute silver dollars to workers. You don¡¯t have to weigh each piece with a pair of spoons. This is so convenient. You can complete the task by just counting. It turns out that it is very troublesome. How can I pay a month¡¯s salary? I have to be busy. It lasts a few days and is used by many people. The other banknotes are also designed with their own characteristics. There are five types of banknotes: five taels, ten taels, twenty taels, fifty taels, and one hundred taels. They also have some original anti-counterfeiting marks. If you become familiar with them in the future, it will be easier than using silver coins. . Li Zhenhua immediately agreed that Jincheng wanted to ask Li Zhenhua for everyone's cooperation when it was released. Li Zhenhua agreed. There is no problem in issuing them in Fangcheng. Just send them out and people will take them as soon as they are released. But in Annan, we encountered some small troubles. It turned out that there were French people who were causing trouble. They spread some rumors that it was the Chinese who wanted to After all the money of the Annan people was exchanged and such banknotes were printed, they would be useless. So some merchants in Annan refused to accept Xinghua's banknotes. Liu Yongfu, who had already arrived in Annan, immediately called a meeting with his subordinates. I have specifically studied the issue of banknotes and found out that if the Annan people do not use our banknotes for the silver they hand over, then they will add "fire consumption" and if they use it, then it will be fine. No matter what they buy, they will only accept our banknotes. If you don't accept money or charge more and add losses, they will be restrained immediately, and no one will be able to deal with the money. Soon the prices of various goods in shops everywhere were marked in silver dollars. If you wanted to buy something, you could only use banknotes or silver dollars. But when it comes to using this thing, you can't say it is convenient and fast. Weigh again. Therefore, the fastest issuance in Annan and Indonesia has gradually become common in other places. Since Beijing received Tang Jiong's telegram, the palace has begun to prepare intensively. It turned out to be a secret "political marriage" operation, but now it has been made public. Sun Yuwen can't come because he has something to do recently. The emperor has brought Weng Tonghe up. Now Weng Tong, the marriage envoy and Ye Shan, the deputy envoy, are making preparations every day. The things given by the Queen Mother and the Emperor need to be packed in categories, and the princess's things must also be prepared. The princess's guard of honor must also be prepared and so on. But there was a long debate in the palace about which way to go. One opinion was to take the land route, the other was to take the water route. The two betrothal envoys had different opinions. The opinions of the emperors and masters of the two dynasties were different. It is to take the water route because there has never been a precedent for a royal marriage to take the water route. If a married daughter does not take the water route, it will not show the majesty of the royal family. Ye Shan's opinion is to take the water route because he knows that it is much more comfortable to take the water route than the land route. The princess is golden and cannot travel long distances on the road. The ministers in the DPRK also debated the two opinions for a long time. Finally, the emperor became anxious: "It's such a small thing that makes you fight over it. Let the marriage minister decide for himself." Weng Tonghe was very happy when he heard this. He thought it was the face given to him by the emperor, but he immediately thought again. He thought: "This is not a good thing. The emperor has given himself the decision-making power. As long as there is a little problem, he will become the target of public attacks." He had to take care of both aspects at the same time. First, he took the dry road to show the princess's honor guard when leaving Beijing. Take Hejian Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, Xuzhou Prefecture, Nanjing, and Shanghai, and then take warships and ships from the sea directly to Fangcheng. "This is really troublesome for taking off your pants and farting. Master Weng thought that this would save people from attacking him. He didn't expect people to be even more dissatisfied with his decision. After the route was determined, the large troop sending off the bride finally set off. The common people in the capital could not easily see the grand occasion of royal weddings these days. The streets were crowded with people watching the fun. At the front were two Mongolian war horses. The cavalry on the horses were flying a red flag with the words: "I ordered you to send your bride." "The right envoy". Behind them are the escort soldiers of the brigade. Behind them are the Ouchi guards in yellow mantles. Among the Ouchi guards, first, there is an eight-carrying sedan, sitting on it is the messenger Weng Tong, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who is sitting on the sedan behind. What's more, behind Yeshan is another large sedan with eight carriages. Among them are the princess and her two girls. Behind the sedan were dozens of officials at all levels with hats on their heads, and behind them were the guards and the dowry delivery queue. In addition, there were many officials from the DPRK who also wanted to give gifts to Li Zhenhua. The procession to send off the bride was two or three miles long. There were about three thousand people in the procession. There is no way anyone can make the Chinese more populous. In fact, there is no need for so many people, but the Empress Dowager said that pomp and circumstance must be maintained. Master Weng understood clearly that Li Zhenhua could not look down on the court. He immediately obeyed the Empress Dowager's orders.We must make sure things are done beautifully so that no one can find faults. The intelligence officers who were watching the excitement in the crowd immediately reported the situation to Fangcheng. After receiving the news, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but cry and laugh. He had to just send him a kiss. Is it such a big fuss? Doing these useless things means you have money when it comes to doing serious business. Li Zhenhua immediately notified his subordinates to send a cargo ship to pick up people and all belongings, and also sent a warship to escort. At that time, some people said that one ship is not enough at least. There are also three boats. Li Zhenhua said: "This boat is still squeezed out. We don't have so many boats that can't be loaded, so let them go back." There were many people who were very dissatisfied with this behavior. Among them, the most disgusted was the Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang. If they boarded the ship in Tianjin, they could just arrange some gifts nearby. But Master Weng arranged it so that he had to have the gifts sent all the way to Shanghai and then let people in Shanghai deliver them. Text Chapter 96 Princess¡¯s Heart Chapter 96 Princess's Heart The team marched southward in mighty force, crossing Hejian, walking through Jinan, passing through Xuzhou, crossing the Yangtze River and arriving at Nanjing. Along the way, reports from various intelligence departments were reported to Fangcheng in separate routes. When they arrived in Shanghai, Fangcheng The fleet coming to pick up the bride also arrived in Shanghai on time. Master Weng was so angry when he met the fleet that came to pick up the bride. All the gifts that were brought could be accommodated, but the number of people could not be accommodated. There were only 200 berths in total. When Master Weng saw that this was not possible, he went immediately. What should I do if I discuss it with Yaqi Gege? Unexpectedly, Yaqi Gege had already vented her anger with her husband before she saw her husband: "Everything must be done according to the wishes of the husband." Master Weng did not dare to offend the couple. I saw that Princess Princess was already reducing her entourage. She only left less than thirty people including the housekeeper of the palace, the maids in the palace, the eunuchs, the maids, and her own maids. Four people came together because she knew that her husband would definitely arrange escorts for her. According to the arrangement of the pick-up party, she boarded the warship named "Taishan". Xiao Shanzi had already come up. He admired Li Zhenhua very much. At the same time, he absolutely listened to Gege. Master Weng saw that he had no choice but to do it. He followed their instructions and boarded the warship. The others only left a total of 200 people, and they all boarded the cargo ship. It took a day just to load the cargo on the ship, and the rest of the people were sent back. Warships do not allow ordinary people to board the cargo ship. There is no room on the cargo ship and I have no choice but to go back. This is ridiculous to say that no one in the Qing Dynasty's marriages over the years would send someone back halfway. Yaqi sat quietly on the bow of the boat. Several servants erected a parasol on her side. Her eyes were looking into the distance. Others only knew what scenery she was looking at, but in her heart she was thinking about her own. Her husband (husband-in-law), whom she had never met before, had no say in the marriage from beginning to end. First, the Queen Mother inexplicably gave her the status of a princess. Then her adoptive father told her that the Queen Mother was going to marry her. Who was the man? Li Zhenhua, who was causing trouble in the south. All I know about him is what others say: According to the Queen Mother, he is a capable but unsmooth person. According to the Emperor, this person is difficult to manage and even does not give face to the Queen Mother and me. But the Emperor privately However, Li told himself that after leaving, he would have a good relationship with him and win his heart so that he could contribute to the Qing Dynasty. But the adoptive father said that he was a rare talent in the entire Qing Dynasty. He could fight, do business, and understand foreign affairs. At that time, he compared his adoptive father and Li Hongzhang with him, but the adoptive father said that he and Li Hongzhang were already old and could no longer do anything. The hope lies with him. The little Shanzi who had met him once secretly told himself that this was a great blessing. Li Zhenhua was not only good-tempered, but also very capable, knowledgeable, capable of fighting and doing business, which was a rare talent in the Qing Dynasty. Since coming out of Beijing, I have asked Xiao Shanzi to wait on me many times, but the main purpose is to hear more about my brother-in-law from his mouth. But this little monkey boy is very naughty. He doesn't talk much. He just says to himself, "Go." After that, I knew that he was a good man, which made me embarrassed to ask him. As we get closer and closer to Fangcheng, we feel more and more unsure. But when we hear the bald soldiers talking about their immediate boss, they definitely admire them. When they talk about their boss, there is no one who is not convinced. Said that such a big warship was one that they and their boss had just snatched from the French. Even a fleet of the Qing Dynasty couldn't defeat the French fleet, but a bunch of army troops snatched the warship. It seems that this The position of Prince Consort really has a lot of potential. It was something that a group of infantrymen could recapture a warship from the navy. This was something that had never been heard of before. Even though Yaqi herself was well-read in poetry and books, she felt that she was unusual among girls, but when she heard them talking about her husband-in-law, She also developed a respect for him. Although she was very dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's engagement, her behavior towards her husband-in-law made her feel that she was not worthy of him. I heard that he already had his own lover. I was afraid that my consort would neglect me. The journey from Shanghai to Fangcheng is more than 1,200 nautical miles. An ordinary ship takes three or four days. Princess Yaqi spent it in such an uneasy mood. In her hand, she only had a photo of Xiao Shanzi taking a photo of Li Zhenhua. She just watched it secretly so many times. Now she wished she could fly to Fangcheng and see him right away, but she was afraid of seeing his Queen Mother's engagement. The ordinary girl on the other side who was unwilling in the first place had the same worry about gain and loss. Appeared in Princess's heart. At first, she was determined to live her whole life by marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, or following a dog. But when people talked about her prince-in-law like this, it also made her feel proud to accompany him and guide the country, and she was eager to see Li Zhenhua. occupied a dominant position. Feeling confusedNot only Princess Yaqi was happy, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin were also in the same mood. They were also full of uneasiness about this marriage. After the two of them let the fleet to pick up the bride set off, they felt that it was not interesting to be at home, so the two They decided to go out for two days and brought a few followers with them. They were going to the mountains. They also often went out for hunting. The two brought their weapons and the followers took the necessary things and went up the mountain. The two of them can be said to be highly skilled people. They were bold and not afraid of any wild beasts. They came to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and asked their followers to arrange tents. The two of them set off and decided to pack some game to improve it. At the beginning, they discovered some small animals such as hares and pheasants. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin did not use guns. They used primitive bows and arrows. Although Li Zhenhua had not received special training, his shooting skills were quite good after a period of practice. Yes. Some small animals cannot get out under his hands. Basically, the sound of the bow must be rewarded. In a short time, we had beaten about ten small animals. Put the beaten things into the bag and they came back with a sumptuous dinner. The craftsmanship of the few followers was also good, and bursts of fragrance were emitted in a short time. The next day they got up early. After breakfast, they continued hunting. However, their luck didn't seem to be getting any better today. No prey appeared for a long time. They simply ate some dry food and rested for a while. They decided to expand the scope of their search. Look into the distance. After walking for a while, he still didn't find anything. At this time, Li Zhenhua's subconscious thought that there must be some big animals nearby, so the small animals hid. It's just that humans are not as sensitive to the smell of these big animals as those small animals. When he found out, he told Wang Xin his thoughts and Wang Xin also felt that what he said was right, and both of them became more vigilant. At this time, they had reached the edge of a cliff. In front of it was a cliff with a depth of more than ten meters. There was a stream flowing under the cliff. They had to turn around and walk sideways. When they turned around, they found a pair of eyes in the bushes behind. Stare at them hard. Text Chapter 97 Bravely Fighting the Tiger Chapter 97: Bravely Fighting Tigers Watching them closely was a furry head with a king character on it, and yellow fur with some black markings on it. Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin were shocked when they saw it. It turned out to be a South China tiger, the king of beasts. With a body of nearly two meters long, it seemed that it was already an adult tiger. It should have rich hunting experience. When it saw Li Zhenhua's two After people, it kept an eye on them from afar. Today they can finally have a good meal. Catching those small animals is too boring. It followed them quietly and was ready to strike at any time (mouth). When it saw the two of them facing the front When it is in the abyss, it thinks that the time for its attack has come. As soon as it sees the person on the opposite side, it has discovered itself, so its attack begins. There are three main ways for tigers to attack prey. The first is to pounce. The second is to lift. The third is to scissor. People all know its first move. People know that it jumps up and pounces towards the target. It is so powerful. Then you can jump directly to the target. The second move is to use its two front legs to support the body and lift the hind legs back (animals like horses and donkeys are kicked). This move is used to deal with the first move. The prey that has not been attacked cannot avoid the two attacks of its two moves. The prey is behind it, and its thick and long tiger tail is about to come into play. The tail is raised high. It's like a steel whip whipping towards the target. This blow is called a scissor. The two of them were stunned. Li Zhenhua had already pulled Wang Xin behind him. At this time, the tiger had launched its first fierce offensive. They heard it roar like a thunderous roar that shook the earth, and then it followed. At this time, Li Zhenhua was quite passive. If he were here alone, he could dodge at will. But now that there is Wang Xin behind him, he can only lure the tiger away and hand over the long bow in his hand. With the right hand, I used the end of the bow to hit the tiger's head. I ducked to one side and the tiger looked at me. How dare you fight back under my attack? I couldn't help but feel furious. When it lunged forward, its front paws were retracted. When it saw Li Zhenhua, it looked at Li Zhenhua. I hit it with a bow. During the attack, it stretched out its claws like a neat kitten and opened Li Zhenhua's long bow with its claws. It saw that Li Zhenhua had begun to dodge to one side, and it twisted its tail with force and twisted its body. It had turned around in the air and continued to pounce towards Li Zhenhua. Although Li Zhenhua had lured the tiger away, Wang Xin felt that the tiger was still rushing towards her. Wang Xin hurriedly dodged to the side. A stone under her feet tripped her and she lost her balance. She was so frightened that she screamed and turned towards the cliff. Fall down below. At this time, Li Zhenhua saw Wang Xin falling off the cliff, but he had no time at this time. He could only continue to move to the left to avoid the front of the tiger's attack. At the same time, he stepped forward and missed the tiger. When he missed it, he used his right elbow to hit him. Tiger immediately said that although Li Zhenhua is now in a high position, his physical training has never stopped. His elbow can be said to be cruel enough. If it were a human being, several ribs would be broken if this elbow hit him. Even the tiger screamed in pain. As soon as its front paws landed on the ground, it immediately hit Li Zhenhua. But Li Zhenhua's elbow just now pushed the tiger away. The move was in vain, but its iron rod-like tail hit Li Zhenhua again. Li Zhenhua swept over and Li Zhenhua had no way to avoid it. He had to use his right arm inside to block the tiger's tail with a long bow. When he heard a "click", the long bow was broken into two parts, and Li Zhenhua felt a tremor in his arm. Severe pain. Li Zhenhua jumped up and jumped to the side. At the same time, he pulled out the military thorn he carried with him. With the weapon in hand, Li Zhenhua became more courageous. After the first wave of tiger attacks, his momentum was obviously not as good as before. He turned around and faced Li Zhenhua head-on again. He was also thinking in his heart that this person is extraordinary. After my series of Under the attack, he was fine and gave me a hand. I have to be careful this time, otherwise my name as the king of beasts will not be worthy of the name. When the tiger turned around, Li Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief. He was too nervous just now, but now he was not nervous but angry. His beloved wife was pushed to the bottom of the cliff by the tiger. He didn't know whether he would live or die. But he was so angry that he didn't hesitate at all. He took one step forward and was about to attack the tiger. The tiger roared and pounced on him again. Li Zhenhua was no longer nervous this time. He took a step forward and crouched down. The tiger was about to pounce on his head. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stabbed the knife in his hand with all his strength. He entered the tiger's chest and used the tiger's momentum to disembowel him. Blood spurted out and covered Li Zhenhua. But the tiger rushed over and waited until it turned around again. His body could no longer hold up and he was lying on the ground. There is no air coming in from the bottom. Li Zhenhua no longer paid attention to Lao Lao. He looked down and shouted loudly: "Wang Xin! Wang Xin! Wang Xin!" There was only an echo from the mountain. There was Wang Xin's voice. When Li Zhenhua saw him, he hurriedly said to himself He tried not to be anxious and to calm down, but at this time he could no longer calm down. He looked down, found a place, and went down the hillside. The fleet that welcomed Princess arrived at the port of Fangcheng, but there were no people from the capital on the shore as expected.Such a warm welcome made Master Weng very dissatisfied. At the same time, even the prince-in-law did not come to greet him in person, which made Master Weng even more annoyed. He looked at Yaqi Gege with his eyes. Yaqi Gege was still so tepid. It was hard for him to lose his temper, so he had to get off the boat and follow the arrangements of the groom's pick-up personnel. But Yaqi Gege had already discovered the problem from people's uneasy eyes and she immediately said: "Little Shanzi". Xiao Shanzi, who was waiting on the side, immediately said a thousand words to Princess: "Slave, what are your orders to Princess?" Yaqi said to him softly: "Xiao Shanzi, I think their expressions are not right. Is there something wrong with them? It happened." Xiaoshanzi said: "Master, I think there is something wrong. They look a little panicked." "Go find someone immediately to find out what happened to them." "Hey!" After saluting Gege, he hurried away. "Gege didn't get off the warship here. She just stood on the warship without moving. She wanted to see what happened here. Why was there a panic in people's eyes. Xiao Shanzi came back soon. Also returning with him were Guangdong Governor Ni Wenwei, Guangxi Governor Xu Yanxu, Yunnan Governor Tang Jiong, and the local top chief executive, Mayor Zhao Hongyan. The news they brought surprised Gege. The prince-in-law and Wang Xin had gone hunting for two days and hadn't come back yet. Maybe they had encountered some trouble. People's eyes turned to Yaqi Gege. Now she is the owner of this place. To say that this Yaqi is really not simple. Prince Gong can only fall in love with her. Not to mention that even the Queen Mother likes her at first sight. She must not be a person. A confused person, she thought about it for a moment and immediately asked Zhao Hongyan: "This sister should be Miss Zhao, right? How many people have been dispatched to search now?" Text Chapter 98 Princess takes action personally Chapter 98: Gege personally takes action ¡°If I go back to Gege, there are already hundreds of people searching. There is no news yet.¡± Zhao Hongyan replied. "Intensify the search efforts and expand the search range. Don't we have airships? Send them out too. They can fly fast, high and see far." Although Yaqi was very anxious in her heart, she was still very calm on the surface. "We will immediately send people to continue the search and expand the search range. We have already sent out the airship troops." Zhao Hongyan didn't eat for free. Seeing that Gege cared about Li Zhenhua, she patiently answered her questions. Yaqi then said to the others: "You guys are old enough, just wait for the news at home. Yuxiang is going to change my clothes. You can prepare horses and guides for me. I also want to go and join the search." After hearing Gege's words, people I was shocked. Why did Princess want to attend in person to find someone? Can this person with a golden body be able to do it? Seeing everyone's expressions, Yaqi smiled and said: "Look, whose daughter-in-law knows that something happened to her husband-in-law, she will still wait at her home as if nothing happened. Stop talking, hurry up and get ready, I'm leaving soon." Weng The master immediately said: "No, Ge Ge, you are a wealthy person and must not take risks." "Master Weng," Yaqi said with a stern face: "This is my family matter, so please don't say more. You and other people will follow their lead immediately." Receptionist, please go and have a rest. I¡¯m going to look for someone right now. If I can¡¯t find him, it¡¯s all in vain.¡± When people saw it, they just let her go. But at this moment, Princess lost her temper again. It turned out that the clothes the maids brought her were all those Manchu cheongsams and other clothes that were only of no use. You readers have probably seen girls wearing cheongsams and riding bicycles, right? But it was quite awkward for her to ride a horse. This made everyone angry. Zhao Hongyan saw that Gege was angry and knew that she was worried. She hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, Gege. Please come with me." As soon as Yaqi saw that this sister was a capable person, she listened to her and followed her. But as soon as she took a step, she stopped again. It turned out that the shoes with flowerpot bottoms she was wearing were still not good. Ge Ge blushed. Zhao Hongyan hurriedly waved to a group of soldiers in the distance. A group of cavalry came over. Ge Ge was happy to see it. She immediately took off her outer clothes, threw away her shoes, and rushed down the gangway of the warship. Fortunately, it was covered with a layer of carpet, which wasn't too ugly, but she probably would have rushed down even without the carpet. Seeing that Gege was in such a hurry, a horse came up to meet her. Yaqi pulled a horse, jumped over, got on the horse, and walked away with Zhao Hongyan. Where is the image of Gege? People who saw it were all excited. It was just that person. Master Weng shook his head. (Someone said that someone with a status like Gege can ride a horse. This is really impressive. The Manchus originally conquered the world by riding horses and archery, so they have always been proud of riding horses and archery. Generally speaking, as long as the family has the conditions They all have to undergo these most basic trainings from an early age, not to mention Yaqi Gege, who is of Mongolian descent. Unless you don't want to learn to ride a horse, Manchu and Mongolian girls were not interested in having their feet bound. Their pair of three-inch golden lotus can't do anything. At this time, only the legendary Mu Guiying can do it.) But the anxious Yaqi Gege ran away with Zhao Hongyan and they came to Zhao Hongyan's office. Zhao Hongyan and the two maids also followed in. Zhao Hongyan collected all the work clothes from herself and the women under her, and found a few pairs of shoes. She picked out a suit of clothes for Princess to put on, and the two maids also put on the same work clothes. The two of them have almost the same figure and it fits them perfectly. Yaqi hurriedly took off her jewelry and tied up her hair with a ribbon. When she saw a military thorn hanging on Zhao Hongyan's wall, she asked Zhao Hongyan for it again, turned around and bent down to Zhao Hongyan. She thanked her and said, "Thank you, sister. Let's talk about it when you come back." She set off with the guide who had arrived and a group of cavalry to protect her. Zhao Hongyan looked at Yaqi who was walking away and said in her heart: "This little daughter-in-law who just came in is not bad and she cares about her little brother. However, she is quite impatient. Brothers should be more careful in the future." The governor also admired in his heart that he was so close. As soon as he entered the door, he was worried about his consort. Is it true that Li Zhenhua is a good person if he does not come into the same house? Yaqi, who was riding a horse, felt at first that the small river horse under her was not as comfortable as the tall Mongolian horse she was riding. However, the pony she was riding now ran very steadily. After a while, she discovered that the river horse was not as comfortable as the tall Mongolian horse she was riding. The benefits of horses. The Mongolian war horses are focused on galloping quickly on the plains, but the Sichuan horses are focused on running on winding mountain roads with ravines and ravines under their feet as if they were walking on flat ground. A dozen fast horses are heading towards the mountain??Flying away, someone provided them with information at every place along the way. They soon arrived at Li Zhenhua's camp. At this time, there were still people guarding their things. When Yaqi got there, he asked: "They are going Which direction is that?" The man said to Yaqi: "They are going to the north. There are already several people heading in that direction." "Let's go to the north too." Yaqi was worried about her. The speed was so fast that they were blocked by a cliff. Yaqi said to herself: "Don't panic. Stay calm. Don't panic. If you panic, the consequences will be" She didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this time, some more searching people also arrived. Yaqi looked at the crowd and then said: "You go to both sides and search carefully to see if there are any traces left by them." People divided into two parts and started searching. Yaqi decided to stop and let the horses rest for a while. She ran so fast that she was already foaming at the mouth. She is a frequent horse rider who knows how to take good care of horses. In fact, she was too tired, but she was so anxious that she couldn't care less. Yaqi was so anxious that she stopped resting and said immediately: "Go downstream." Everyone jumped on their horses and searched in the distance. Yaqi herself is from the north and is not used to the southern climate at all. She is already soaked to the skin, her hair is wet and clings to her face, and her clothes are clinging to her body. She has never done anything like this before, but her entourage None of them dared to advise her. They just hoped in their hearts that they could find her husband earlier so that Gege could have a good rest. When they came to the dead tiger, there were signs of someone going down. At this time, a few agile soldiers were preparing to go down. Others were waiting on the cliff. When Yaqi arrived, she looked down, but because the trees were very dense, She couldn't clearly see the situation below. Yaqi didn't want to wait any longer and decided to go down in person. The people next to her advised her not to go down. It was dangerous, but Yaqi's temper got worse. She just glared at the person and ignored them. Her followers began to look for a place, and when they found one, she put her military spur behind her back and began to move down step by step. She was also saying in her heart that it was fortunate that she was wearing such clothes, otherwise it would be impossible for her to come down here or even take a look at it. At the same time, she was also thinking in her heart that she should not let anything happen to her husband. Ah, the happiness of my life depends on him. Text Chapter 99 Bitten by a snake Chapter 99: Bitten by a snake Yaqi's body clung to the mountain. She used her hands and feet to crawl down. Sometimes she could only use one hand to grasp the stone, and sometimes she used one foot to support the weight of her whole body. She slowly Her two personal maids, Yuxiang and Yuxiu, crawled down and followed her down. Just when she stepped on the ground, she heard a scream and Yuxiang fell down from about four or five meters high. Yaqi hurried over and saw that her eyes were closed tightly. It was obvious that she had suffered internal injuries and the injuries were not serious. She whispered to her: "Sister Yuxiang, just hold on, I will come back to pick you up soon." Other soldiers Some people continued to come down, but Yaqi refused to let them down. The soldiers who had already come down or were on the way came down to help her save their own girl. She asked Yuxiu, the girl who came down later, to follow her, and then searched for the lower reaches of the river. After just a few steps, she found a stain of blood. This must be the blood of her concubine. Yaqi thought in her heart that Yaqi immediately became nervous. She immediately He and the maid quickened their pace. Because she was in a ravine, it got dark very quickly, but because she was anxious, she didn't rest and was still in a hurry. Later, they were so tired that they rested for a while and then they were on their way again. Yaqi didn't know how serious Li Zhenhua's injury was, but she was extremely worried. After dawn the next day, Yaqi felt that she was too tired. She made up her mind that she must exercise well in the future, otherwise she would not be able to help her husband. Thinking of this, she insisted on moving forward, and she had already discovered the signs. It became even more obvious that some grass on the roadside had just been stepped down by someone. She felt that her husband was not far ahead, and she couldn't help but move faster. Yaqi is from the north. She doesn't understand the situation in the south at all. Furthermore, she is anxious. She is running and suddenly feels a pain in her leg. When she lowers her head, she is startled. It turns out that a snake has been stepped on under her feet. The snake turned back and bit her on the leg. Yaqi quickly pulled out her knife and cut it in two. She used the knife to pick it apart and then continued to walk forward. Suddenly, there was the sound of gunfire. Soon she found a group of people in front of her. The man covered in blood must be the prince-in-law, but he seems to have nothing to do. He is directing some of the people under his command to do something. Yaqi's feet are faster, but she also feels that her legs are getting more and more numb. She understands. There might be something wrong with the injury on her leg. She pushed Yuxiu and said to her: "Go quickly and let them help us. We can't hold it anymore." Yuxiu quickened her pace and walked forward. Yuxiu In fact, they couldn't stand it anymore. They hadn't eaten anything since they got off the boat. They were tired and hungry. Seeing the situation in front of her, she had no choice but to put down Princess and go to her husband-in-law for help. She ran a few steps forward and looked back to see that Princess was already there. Sitting on the ground and unable to get up, she immediately shouted to the front: "Here comes someone!" After shouting several times, Yuxiu also fell to the ground. Li Zhenhua climbed down from the cliff and saw that Wang Xin's legs had been broken and her head was bleeding in two places. He tore off a piece of his own clothes and fixed her legs with wooden strips before fixing her head. The wound was treated simply. At this time, Li Zhenhua looked up and saw that it was fine for him to go up, but it would not work if he took Wang Xin up. However, Wang Xin's wound had to be treated as soon as possible. It would be no good if it took too long, so Li Zhenhua had to carry Wang Xin on his back and head towards the downstream direction of the stream. You can only go out from there. After a long time, Wang Xin felt that her legs were sore. Li Zhenhua had to put her down and let her lie flat on the ground. He raised her feet to prevent the blood from concentrating underneath. He also loosened the cloth that tied her so that she could relax. After taking a break, Li Zhenhua picked up Wang Xin and continued walking forward. At this time, Li Zhenhua was also very tired. He simply ate some at noon and then had a fight with the tiger. His body had no strength, but he knew that now He couldn't stop. Wang Xin's injury had to be treated urgently. If he stopped, it might be delayed. He had no choice but to keep moving forward. It was getting dark and Wang Xin had already begun to have a high fever. It seemed that the wound was a little inflamed. We should share hardships with Lin Wu." When it got dark, Li Zhenhua estimated that he would have to carry Wang Xin for more than ten miles. At this speed, it would take him two or three days to get out. When he got outside the forest, he put down the sleeping Wang Xin and checked that his dry food could only last for two days. He found some wild vegetables and herbs around and ate them himself. He woke up Wang Xin and asked her to eat some, but Wang Xin didn't want to eat them. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to coax her to eat some like a child, loosen the splint on her leg and tie it up for her, then applied some herbal medicine on her leg, lay with her and told her jokes. The two spent the night together. After daybreak they continued on their way. On the third day, the water surface of the creek had obviously widened. Li Zhenhua knew that he was almost there.They walked out and a searching airship flew over. They didn't find the two of them. Li Zhenhua said to Wang Xin: "The family has already started looking for us. We will be rescued soon if we hold on." Wang Xin also said: "Normally it doesn't show up. I really miss them now. That Princess should have arrived by now." "Yes," Li Zhenhua said, "She should have arrived yesterday. She must have been very sad when she got off the boat." "No. At this moment, I am just an outsider to her. My life and death have nothing to do with her. " "You are wrong. It's not what you think. You don't understand us women at all. As long as you marry her. She is yours and she won¡¯t care about you. She will be a stranger without you.¡± ¡°There are so many things?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, just ask others.¡± Another airship flew over. Li Zhenhua stood up and ran to the open space by the river. However, because the mountains on both sides were relatively high, they could not lower the altitude, so they had to lower the altitude and try to look down. Li Zhenhua waved from the air below. They soon discovered Li Zhenhua and the others. He stopped flying, stayed in the air above Li Zhenhua and the others, and started firing shots into the air to notify search personnel on the ground to come to the rescue. Soon several soldiers arrived. They were very happy to see Li Zhenhua and immediately sent people back to report. The other soldiers, under the command of Li Zhenhua, made a stretcher to lift Wang Xin and prepare to leave. Suddenly they heard another woman shouting from behind. They stopped and saw that it was a girl. She was wearing the same work clothes as themselves, but none of them recognized her. They only heard her accent, but they all had a northern accent. The girl's face looked pale. She said to these people: "Hurry, master, there are people behind you who are injured." After saying this, the little girl was tired and hungry and fell into a coma. When Li Zhenhua saw it, he hurriedly said to several soldiers: "Look after her and give her some water. I'll go to the back and take a look." Li Zhenhua took a few steps forward and found a girl sitting in front. Her face was pale. She looked embarrassed, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her face was clinging to strands of hair. There was still some mud and water on her face, but even this could not hide the girl's beautiful face. When she saw Li Zhenhua coming over, she hurriedly stood up and asked anxiously: "Have you found the person?" When Li Zhenhua saw that it was a girl who came looking for her, she hurriedly replied: "I found it, I found it. Isn't it here?" Text Chapter 100 It turns out that she is his wife Chapter 100 It turns out that she is his wife. After hearing Li Zhenhua¡¯s answer, the girl swayed and almost fell. At this time, Li Zhenhua didn¡¯t care about the difference between men and women and rushed up to support her through his clothes. He could already feel that she had a fever, and when he looked at her face, she looked extremely pale and without any blood. Even so, she persisted and asked: "What's wrong with the blood all over your body? Are you injured there?" "Ah, I'm fine. This is the blood of that tiger." The girl breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but it was really Unable to withstand it, his body fell softly into Li Zhenhua's arms. Li Zhenhua asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?" The girl said to him: "I was bitten by a little snake." Li Zhenhua was shocked. Some snakes are very dangerous, especially those small snakes. He has been in the jungle all year round and knows this very well. He hurriedly asked the girl to sit on a rock and cut open the trouser legs for her with a knife. Yaqi Gege wanted to stop him, but she just stretched out her hand and retracted it. This was her forehead, so there was nothing invisible about him. The four small holes on the white legs were symmetrical and had turned black around them. Li Zhenhua looked at the wound and had to treat it immediately, otherwise it would be dangerous. He said to Yaqi: "Miss, this is bitten by a poisonous snake. I want to save you." The poison will be released from your legs. It will be very painful. You have to hold on." Yaqi looked at him and said, "Okay, just do it. I'm not afraid of pain." The northern girl's strength showed in her. I feel like I can't say anything to embarrass myself in front of my husband. Li Zhenhua didn't say much, took his knife over, lit a fire with a flint, and roasted it for a while. Then he wiped it clean on his clothes, tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped a wooden stick and said to the girl: "It will be very good." If it hurts, bite it with your teeth." He said to the girl, "Close your eyes." Then he said to several soldiers who came over, "Come and grab her hand." Yaqi didn't want these men to grab her. Her hand but her forehead said that she had no choice but to agree and then said: "You can do it, I'm not afraid." Li Zhenhua took a deep breath and used a knife to cut an incision in her leg. Yaqi shivered in pain, and the black The blood flowed out immediately. Li Zhenhua squeezed her with his hands for a while and the blood stopped flowing. But Li Zhenhua felt that it was not enough, so he used his mouth to suck the blood from the incision. At this time, Ya Qi couldn't bear it anymore. She used her hands to protect it. Li Zhenhua said to her: "No, girl, the venom hasn't been cleaned yet. It needs to be cleaned." He sucked the wound on Yaqi's leg hard with his mouth, sucked and spat until the blood completely turned red, and then he stopped. Tears flowed from the eyes of Yaqi next to her and Wang Xin beside her. They were deeply moved by Li Zhenhua. Ya Qi felt that her husband could treat her wounds in this way and was moved. Wang Xin felt that he could treat an ordinary worker's wounds without fear of being poisoned. Finally Li Zhenhua stopped. He tore off a piece of clean cloth and bandaged her wound. He then asked the soldiers to chop some wood and make two more stretchers. They lifted the injured person and walked forward. At this time, Yaqi He said to Li Zhenhua: "Go up the river and there are injured people there. Please send someone to help them." Li Zhenhua agreed. Just as he was about to comfort the girl, he found that she had fallen asleep. After returning to Fangcheng, Li Zhenhua immediately sent Yaqi to the hospital for examination and treatment of her leg. He said to Wang Xin: "You should also go to the hospital." But Wang Xin did not want to go, she just wanted to stay by Li Zhenhua's side. She said she wanted to go back to her own place. Li Zhenhua had to coax her: "Don't act like a child. If you get hurt, you have to go to the hospital. When you go home, why don't you ask medical staff to come to your home to serve you?" Wang Xin had no choice but to go back to her own place. accepted. Li Zhenhua personally sent them to the hospital to take good care of them. At this time, someone came to urge him to go back quickly. Many people were waiting for him at home. Li Zhenhua returned to his residence and saw a large group of people waiting in front of the door. Among them, an old man wearing a first-grade Qing Dynasty civil servant uniform was standing there menacingly. The people next to him were all acquaintances. Even the three governors and others were apologizing to him, which made Li Zhenhua feel a little uncomfortable. As soon as he saw Li Zhenhua coming, the old man came over and said to him: "How good of you! First you couldn't find her, and now even Gege can't find me. How did I become a messenger?" Li Zhenhua knew then. It turns out that this is Master Weng. I didn't have a good impression of him at first. Now seeing that his face was not good, of course I had nothing to say and immediately said: "You are the sender of the bride. It's your business to lose Princess. Don't come to me." Okay?" Master Weng immediately said: "Why did I rush to look for you as soon as I got off the boat because I didn't have anything to do with you? Now you're back, but Gege has disappeared. I'm not looking for you."?Who are you looking for? Hearing this, Li Zhenhua suddenly realized that the person bitten by the poisonous snake was his wife. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I will get your princess back for you right away." " What are these words? It's obviously Li Zhenhua's own princess, but he said it is your princess. When Li Zhenhua realized that there was something wrong with his words, his face turned red and he immediately said to them: "Wait for me here for a while, I will come when I go. "After saying that, he didn't care about everyone. When he saw a car next to him, he immediately got in the car and went straight to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, he first looked at Wang Xin and saw that she had fallen asleep after the operation. Li Zhenhua then came to the door of Yaqi's ward. He lightly Knocking lightly on the door, a familiar voice answered: "Who is it?" Please come in. " Li Zhenhua gently opened the door and walked in. Yaqi saw her husband coming to see her. She was very happy. Her face turned red and she hurriedly got up. But this time, she might have pulled the wound and it hurt. She grinned. Li Zhenhua He hurriedly went up to support her and said, "Don't move if you are injured. " Yaqi said to Li Zhenhua: "I have met my husband. " Li Zhenhua said hurriedly: "There is not so much etiquette here. Besides, you are also injured, so don't be too polite. " "But I still want to thank my husband for saving my life. The doctors said that if my husband had not bled me in time and waited until he came back, I would have died. " Li Zhenhua said hurriedly: "Stop talking. If you weren't in a hurry to save me, you wouldn't be hurt. Just rest and it'll be fine. " "Those doctors also said they were afraid that your husband would also be poisoned. They said they wanted to check you out. After saying that, she gave Yuxiu, the maid who was staying aside, a wink, meaning to ask her to call the doctors over. The girl left in a hurry. Li Zhenhua asked again: "Is she okay?" " "It's okay. She is just hungry, tired, and a child who has never suffered. She is delicate and makes her husband laugh. ¡± Sorry, I have a guest from out of town today. Please forgive me for uploading it late. Tomorrow I will add a chapter as a punishment. Text Chapter 101 Is she sincere? Chapter 101 Is she sincere? "Hey, stop talking, why would you have been hurt if you hadn't gone to me? I'm fine, but I have to thank you very much." As soon as she heard Li Zhenhua say "Thank you" Yaqi's His face was obviously not good-looking. It seemed that he didn't regard himself as one of his own. There were only two of them left in the room, but they had nothing to say. Li Zhenhua felt a little embarrassed now, but he was attracted by Yaqi. He was just staring at Yaqi. Although northern girls generally have rougher flesh and skin than southerners, But Yaqi doesn't show any weathered appearance because she has lived in a noble family for many years. Yaqi was embarrassed by Li Zhenhua's look. She could only lower her head and said softly: "I thought that my husband was a martial man and wouldn't do anything to me. Plus, it was a marriage granted by the Queen Mother and I knew my husband didn't like the court. I thought I would be raped." I didn¡¯t expect that my husband would be so kind to me. I can let go of my uneasy heart. If you treat me like this to someone you don¡¯t know, I will definitely be better off. I will definitely live with my husband wholeheartedly.¡± Li Zhenhua was not interested in this Princess at all. Now he saw that she was such a beautiful woman and at the same time reasonable. In addition, she was eager to search and rescue him as soon as she got off the boat. Moreover, she was bitten by a venomous snake. Li Zhenhua felt that his original attitude was a bit excessive. But he knew that this was a nail placed by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Is she here to monitor him or should he be wary of her. Li Zhenhua's thoughts flashed through his mind and he said to her: "You can recuperate here well. Don't think too much about anything. If anything happens, just tell them that I will come to see you often." He was talking about the hospital. The director came with a group of medical staff. They wanted to check Li Zhenhua's body. Li Zhenhua said: "I am in good health, so there is no need to check." The director immediately said: "That's not okay, chief. I must check your blood." If he was poisoned, it would be bad if he had an attack." Blood was drawn from his arm and tested. Li Zhenhua had to wait. After the test, no problem was found, but they gave Li Zhenhua some medicine and asked him to take it on time. Li Zhenhua finally came out of the hospital. As soon as Li Zhenhua came out, he found Tang Jiong waiting outside the door and asked, "Mr. Tang, why are you here? Is Master Weng still showing off his power?" Yeah, he is a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If he goes back and doesn't give you good medicine, your life will be difficult." Li Zhenhua sneered and said, "Master Tang, I'm not afraid that he will rebel against me. If the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp and the Eight Banners around me rebel, can they deal with me? " "Master Li, the time is not yet ripe for rebellion. It is best for you to stabilize him now and let him return to Beijing happily and wait for you for another two or three years. Only then can we rebel when all the preparations are done. I will definitely act with you. I know you are dedicated to the prosperity of this country in the future. My way out lies with you. This is what I have decided long ago. "Then I'll thank Mr. Tang first." "Please don't treat me as an outsider then." "No, I know your character well." "That's it. "What do you think I should do if I don't talk about the marriage?" "I'll leave it to you to take full responsibility for everything. I'll just take a look at it." The same night has different people and different personalities. Same idea. People from the Intelligence Department came to report to Li Zhenhua. They told Li Zhenhua the situation and performance of Yaqi Gege, Weng Tonghe and others from the moment they boarded the ship to the time they disembarked. Yaqi Gege's dialogue with Weng Tonghe, especially Yaqi's sentence: " This is my family matter, so please don't bother." Li Zhenhua was deeply touched. This princess is really extraordinary. If she is really good to herself, then it's nothing. If she is not really good to herself, then she is too cunning. In the eyes of everyone, There was a good show in front of him, and he might even be fooled by her. After sending the intelligence personnel away, Li Zhenhua began to think: He said to himself: "I must have a clear head on this matter and not be blinded by superficial phenomena." Weng Tonghe was also thinking secretly in the hotel. This Yaqi Gege is completely devoted to Li Zhenhua. She is no longer what the Queen Mother and the Emperor thought. She is here as a thorn in charge of monitoring Li Zhenhua. The three governors here are more obedient to Li Zhenhua than to the court because they follow Li Zhenhua. But it was a great success. I want to check their income carefully. As the Minister of Household Affairs, I have no other right to give them some tax money, but I have the right to do so. ¡°Huh, if you don¡¯t give them small shoes to wear, they won¡¯t be able to bear it even if you give them a pair of big shoes for them to step on. This hometownHe wanted to govern people again. He didn't like Li Zhenhua because Li Zhenhua was closer to Li Hefei from Beiyang. There is nothing like the Qing Dynasty here now. People who don¡¯t know it think they are in foreign countries. Look, no one here has pigtails. I heard that what they learn in school is not the Four Books and Five Classics, but all Western things. Look at the houses. They don't have any Chinese characteristics at all. They are all of Chinese or foreign style. Look at the lamps that were lit at night. They didn't even use foreign oil, they just used foreign electric lamps. But this foreign electric lamp is much brighter than my own foreign oil lamp, and it doesn't emit black smoke. I heard that all the foreign electric lights in this city are used. The name "city" doesn't mean anything. The establishment of Qing Dynasty should at least be called a county. However, this place is under the control of Fangcheng County, but they still want it. It's really awkward to call the city defense. The governor of Guangdong also pretended not to know. Tang Jiong was also thinking deeply about today's conversation with Li Zhenhua in his room. Some things already showed that he did not want to have the name of the Qing Dynasty on his head. He would definitely want to have a family in the future. This prince-in-law has great prospects for development in the future. Not to mention that he already controls the three southern provinces, but he is almost there. In addition, he can compete with the Qing Dynasty in Annan and Southeast Asia. If his idea develops, the southern half of the Qing Dynasty will not all belong to him. Thinking about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, it was impossible because they did not have a suitable and good base and a suitable political program. In addition, their officers did not know how to use soldiers and their weapons were backward. They only had generals like Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng. Text Chapter 102 Such a ¡®send off¡¯ Chapter 102: Such a send-off. Look at the court that you serve. It has no future for development. The senior government officials are confused and incompetent. The court is also surviving under the cover-up of this group of people. It seems that it will not last long soon. Foreign countries The great powers are eyeing us, but those in the court still think that they are the best in the world? Some capable people who are loyal to the court cannot be reused by the court. The lives of ordinary people everywhere are deteriorating day by day. Under such internal and external difficulties, the Qing Dynasty How long can the government last? This made Tang Jiong very doubtful. When a figure like Li Zhenhua appeared, Tang Jiong was moved by his behavior. His point of view was very clear, that is, to make such a disaster-ridden country truly strong. Outside The internal government is free from bullying by foreign powers and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Such a person is also a capable person. In a short period of time, he has accomplished things that others could not accomplish for many generations. He has become militarily strong and tough, and has achieved extremely good results economically. His people's lives are many times higher than those of ordinary people. . What should I do? You should have made a decision now. If you want to live a good life for yourself and the people, and if you want to make the country strong, you must come together with him. But he is still young after all. If I want to stand with him, I still have to remind him that he must have a clear political program and establish a political party to unify the people and the military. Otherwise, he may fail and then he will die without a burial. The ground is gone. Of course, Wang Xin and Yaqi are also thinking about their own worries and some thoughts that they don't want to say. However, they all think that they are the happiest people in the world at the moment. There are too few husbands who care and love them. In the morning, Li Zhenhua got up and went to the hospital after exercising. He went to Wang Xin first, but she didn't know until she asked the nursing staff that she went to Yaqi. Li Zhenhua then came to Yaqi's ward. The two beauties were talking very warmly. They are now They are already sisters. Yaqi is one year older than Wang Xin, so Yaqi is naturally her sister. Yaqi is fine, and Wang Xin¡¯s skin injury on her head is fine, but the fracture of the fibula in her lower leg, the thin one, has been fixed by the doctor, but it still needs some time to recover. It turns out that the two beauties moved to live in the same house yesterday. Now they have agreed that they will be discharged from the hospital together and hold a wedding together. They decided to do as Li Zhenhua said, his women should be divided according to their age, regardless of size. say. They can only respect and love each other. Now that they have gone through this life-and-death search and rescue operation, they are naturally connected together, making them indistinguishable from each other. Seeing that they can be so harmonious, Li Zhenhua is naturally very happy. He happily let them stay together for a while and then went back. Weng Tonghe was not idle either. He sent his people out and asked them to go to Guangzhou, Nanning, and Kunming to understand the situation and see how much improvements they had made in these three provinces and how much their tax sources had increased. He was going to go back and report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then give them to them. Increase taxes. Tang Jiong is also communicating with the other two governors, telling them to beware of Weng Tonghe's investigation, not allowing him to find his fault, not allowing him to go back and increase his taxes after menstruation. The increased income of Li Zhenhua and his three provinces will reduce their income. The money cannot do anything for the country, and some people have squandered it. Weng Tonghe has not seen Yaqi Gege these days. After learning the news that Yaqi Gege was bitten by a poisonous snake, Weng Tonghe was shocked and rushed to the hospital to visit. However, at Yaqi's request, the hospital staff Because they were not immediate family members, they were not allowed to wait in. Master Weng was so anxious that he had to put aside his status as a first-class official and kept asking for this and that. However, the reply from the medical staff made it clear that the patient was recovering. It is not suitable to see people. Outsiders, except immediate family members, are not allowed to enter and disturb you. He saw Li Zhenhua go whenever he wanted to and left whenever he wanted. He was so angry that he had no choice but to do anything. Weng Tonghe was very angry and went to Li Zhenhua to question: "Master Li, I should know how Yaqi Gege's condition is now." "That's not right," Li Zhenhua said, "Don't they report to you every day? He will be discharged from the hospital soon after he gets better. "What do you think if this happens every day? Mr. Li, I'm so anxious right now. Why don't you just let me see Princess?" Weng Tonghe said, "What the hell, I'm the emperor's imperial envoy." "I'm sending an envoy to you." "Anyway, Mr. Weng has nothing to do here. Your subordinates have gone to find out how the situation is. Their mission is almost completed. If it is completed, I will go and ask if Yaqi is in good health." " Weng Tonghe's face suddenly turned red. He knew how to blush. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but smile: "How is Master Weng?" Master Weng could only say awkwardly: "I care about Yaqi Gege.?I'm very anxious. " "As long as I care about my wife, don't get involved. If she doesn't want to see you now, you can see her when she wants to see you. " When Weng Tonghe saw that Li Zhenhua was just a gangster, the old man became angry: "Master Li, why do you say that I am also the messenger appointed by the Queen Mother and the Emperor? How can you talk to me like this? " Li Zhenhua sneered: "Master Weng, I see you are old. Call me Master Weng. I have the final say in this area of ??Fangcheng. Don't say anything to me about whether you are an emperor or not, and don't say anything about being old and disrespecting you. If you think you are tougher than the French, you can try to attack me. See off guests! "After saying that, he picked up the teacup at hand and threw it to the ground. The guards outside the door rushed in. Two people stood on both sides of him and raised their hands to Weng Tonghe: "Please," one person at a time gave Weng Tonghe to " "Please" and went out. When Weng Tonghe saw it, he became angry and shouted: "I want to report to the emperor and the queen mother." "The two guards said to Weng Tonghe: "That's your business. " Li Zhenhua hated Weng Tong and he went downstairs to check the work. Anyway, the two women are still squatting in the hospital. Let's wait a little longer. He will come back when he is happy. Li Zhenhua got in the car and took a few people there. He went to his secret underwater base to see his submarine. The Americans who came to greet him were Yu Qian, Luo Shijun and John Hollandon. The Americans were responsible for designing the underwater submarine. The initial construction was 400 tons. A new type of submarine. Now they have designed a new type of submarine. (Dear readers. Dear friends, please give it your support and please collect and recommend it.) Text Chapter 103 Submarine Chapter 103 Submarine The total tonnage of the current submarine is 600 tons. There are two torpedo launch tubes in the front and one in the back. It can carry eight torpedoes at a time. The speed on the water surface has been greatly improved. The speed on the water surface has reached 12 knots. However, the underwater speed has not increased much. There are now six original Type 1 submarines. Li Zhenhua thought that this was already a small wolf pack. When the time comes, it will be good enough for those enemies who dare to invade us to release this group of wolves. Furthermore, the torpedoes fired are now twice as fast as before. Due to the increased speed, the range is also much longer. The ammunition has also been improved. If a torpedo is fired and hits a battleship of the Beiyang "Zhenyuan" level, it can easily sink them. Li Zhenhua wanted to take a look at their actual training. The captain in charge of the experiment was Yu Qian. He had studied in the United States and studied the shipbuilding industry and later stayed in the United States. Later, they saw from some newspapers that gratifying things were gradually happening in the country. After changing, he found the Xinghua Company's office in the United States and talked with them. After talking with them, he learned that some Chinese people represented by Xinghua Group Company were already striving for the rise of the Chinese nation, and their leader was Li Zhenhua. With a weak force, he defeated the powerful armies on the European continent. Inspired by them, he decided to return from the United States. Because of his experience in the United States, he had a good relationship with John Hollandon. Luo Shijun and they were both colleagues and like-minded friends. In the design and manufacture of new submarines, each of them has their own specialties and complementary advantages, so they have achieved very good results. Now Qian and Luo Shijun are personally responsible for the trial work of new submarines, which means that they are responsible for all submarines before they are officially delivered to the naval force. Based on Yu Qian and Luo Shijun's personal thoughts, they still prefer to be naval forces and engage in face-to-face battles with enemy warships. The two of them had made requests to Li Zhenhua several times, but Li Zhenhua was really reluctant to let a senior intellectual and shipping expert command a warship. He felt a little unreasonable in his heart, but he still agreed to let Luo Shijun be the future submarine force. main in-charge. His potential military attainments should not be underestimated. He has always had a clear mind in handling military situations. This really made Li Zhenhua a little difficult to make this decision, but he has listed him as an ideal person for the future staff. The submarine left the military port and entered the vast sea. Their test this time was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the submarine's diving, surface speed, and shooting accuracy, that is, its comprehensive combat capabilities. Nowadays, the major naval powers in the world do not pay much attention to submarines. They are mainly superstitious about giant ships and cannons. Small submarines are slow, have poor firepower and cannot sail long distances. They have many shortcomings that people cannot solve for the time being. Therefore, people are not sure whether they can There is no hope of entering the ocean for combat, but Li Zhenhua here knows the future combat role of submarines, so he does the opposite. He wants to focus on solving the submarine's shortcomings so that it can enter his own naval battle order as soon as possible. . In order to observe the situation of the submarine, Navy Commander Deng Shichang also came out with its cruiser. His "Taishan" towed a target ship. Now they didn't have a dedicated target ship, so they had to improvise a target ship. A long cable several hundred meters long dragged the target ship cruiser first into the periscope of the submarine and then the target ship. Yu Qian and Luo Shijun in the submarine saw the cruiser coming and said something to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua looked in the periscope and handed the periscope into the hands of the two. Luo Shijun gave the order loudly: "Everyone on the boat, pay attention and prepare for battle. No. 1, The No. 2 launch tube is ready to be loaded with torpedoes! "The launch department quickly responded: "No. 1 is loaded!" Luo Shijun continued to order: "Fifteen degrees left rudder." Seeing that the target ship was getting closer and closer to the submarine, the angle had been adjusted. Luo Shijun issued the launch order: "Launch No. 1!" He heard a muffled sound and some vibrations from the hull of the boat. At the same time, he heard a report from the No. 1 fish station. : "Launch No. 1 is completed." After a pause, Luo Shijun issued another order: "Launch No. 2!" "Launch No. 2 is completed!" After hearing the answer from the torpedo operation department, Luo Shijun decisively ordered: "Retract the periscope and dive quickly! "The submarine sank rapidly. On the cruiser on the water, Deng Shichang was also watching the results of this test firing with a telescope. Suddenly, traces of torpedoes appeared on the water. A string of bubbles quickly rushed towards the target ship behind, followed by one torpedo and two torpedoes. There was a small gap, and Deng Shichang secretly said: "With this speed and such a tricky angle, it is very unlikely that he could have commanded the target ship to avoid it." The target ship in the distance first emitted flames and then cameWith a small explosion, two water columns rose into the sky and exploded successively at the bow and stern of the target ship. With the efforts of the sailors, several water hoses were aimed at the fire and the fire was extinguished after a short time. The submarine quickly surfaced. Some crew members also reached the top of the submarine. The cruiser gave an order to it to come closer. But when it got closer, Deng Shichang was startled. It turned out that Li Zhenhua was on top. This made Deng Shichang very uncomfortable. I'm sorry, but since it was an order, it had to be like this. Li Zhenhua, Yu Qian, and Luo Shijun got on the cruiser and went back together. In the commander's tower on the ship, Deng Shichang first apologized to Li Zhenhua and Li Zhenhua said: "Commander Deng, you are not wrong. You can only give the order and the order is correct. Okay, let's not talk about this. You can preside over and summarize today's test situation." " Okay, everyone, let¡¯s sum it up first. Let¡¯s ask Captain Luo to talk about the launch.¡± Luo Shijun immediately stood up and Deng Shichang said to him, ¡°If there are no outsiders, just sit down and talk.¡± Luo Shijun sat down and started to talk about his launch. The submarine's speed has reached the designed target and the submarine has reached 15 meters underwater. The underwater speed has not made much progress. This is one of our main research directions in the future. Let's talk about the torpedoes we are currently using. The speed of steam gas propulsion has been increased to 30 knots, so that it is not easy for enemy warships to dodge. At the same time, the shooting angle must be chosen so that it is not easy for enemy warships to dodge, or it is not easy for enemies to fire two missiles at a time. "Dodge." Deng Shichang said: "The two shots just now were very good. I think it is very difficult to dodge. They can give the opponent a threat and they will start to feel scared when they find out." The ones that have passed the front are coming back, which makes it difficult for the opponent's captain to deal with it, which increases our hit rate. " (Today is the third update, please support me and recommend me to collect it.) Text Chapter 104 Feng Yuqing Chapter 104 Feng Yuqing "What can be achieved if the two pills just now are fully loaded with medicine?" Li Zhenhua asked. "If the target ship is fully loaded with explosives, the target ship will be scrapped." "What if it is our Zhenyuan class?" "It will also be sunk." You must know that the deck of Zhenyuan is three inches long. Li Zhenhua nodded. Relieved. In his mind, he was thinking that it would be even more okay if they were those shabby Japanese warships. Li Zhenhua knew that the two Beiyang ships "Zhenyuan" and "Dingyuan" were not sunk by Japanese artillery fire until the end of the war. And their warships cannot withstand our artillery fire. At the end of the summary meeting, only Deng Shichang and Yu Qian were left. Li Zhenhua said to Deng Shichang, "Do you have any information about the Japanese recently?" "Yes," Deng Shichang said, "They have invested a lot in the navy. In addition to their existing warships, they recently purchased the "Kingo" and "Hiei" warships with a tonnage of 2,250 tons from the British. Their imaginary enemy is our Beiyang Water. Division. As for the army, they have formed two more divisions and now have six standing divisions. I heard that their royal family has begun to reduce their daily expenses and invest money in the military department. " Li Zhenhua asked again: "Over there in Beiyang. If there is no action, we will suffer a big loss. " Deng Shichang said: "They are not taking much action now, especially since the court has no money to support them. They heard that even the normal mid-day silver payment is in arrears. What should I do if I go down?" At this point, Deng Shichang shook his head sadly. "We must help Beiyang in exchange for some ammunition. This secret must be kept. Let's support them with some more money. It cannot be just verbal support." "I would like to thank you on behalf of Beiyang's naval brothers." " Don't thank me. This is for our country." When he got home, Li Zhenhua immediately asked the intelligence department to report on the work. Zhao Hongyan and Feng Yuqing arrived. Now Zhao Hongyan is busy with municipal work, and most of her intelligence work has been taken care of by Feng Yuqing. Take it upon yourself. Feng Yuqing is from Hunan. Although he works under Zhao Hongyan, his intelligence expertise has been fully brought into play. First of all, he has a very clear judgment on intelligence work. Furthermore, he has very good skills. No matter how he is, The killers trained by his hands are all very good. In addition, Li Zhenhua and Feng Yuqing have conducted research to change the moves used to attack the enemy, which are no longer for the purpose of watching but for the purpose of killing. This makes the combat qualities of those killer agents more prominent than before. Therefore, when Zhao Hongyan asked Li Zhenhua to hand over the intelligence work to him, Li Zhenhua quickly agreed that it would be no problem for such a person who is very loyal to the cause to run the intelligence department. Sure enough, Feng Yuqing began to report to Li Zhenhua. He divided his work very carefully. The domestic parts were divided according to regional targets. Among them were Beijing, the ruling center of the Qing government, and the defense focus of the Qing government, Tianjin, Lushun, Weihai, Yili, and Harbin. Waiting places. The focus of foreign countries is Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, etc. This is the military aspect, and the economic aspect is the United States, Africa, and the Middle East. There are also several countries in Southeast Asia such as Annan, Laos, Cambodia, Siam, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries. Basically, in more than a year, their intelligence network has spread all over the world. The intelligence they collect includes military, economic, political, science and technology, human resources, etc. At least there should be a key business department in their capital, and more. For example, in Japan, not only in cities, but also in some key rural cities. There are people who have their own military camps, military ports, and logistics departments. There are people carrying out activities there. They mainly reported to Li Zhenhua the situation in Japan because they knew much less about the navy, and it was impossible for them to analyze many situations in such detail and accuracy. The intelligence compiled from Japan mainly focuses on Japan's military preparations for China. Japan now has six standing army divisions, each with 25,000 troops. Now they should have more than 200,000 troops. Japan's opposition to China is very strong. After they finished talking about the Japanese navy, Feng Yuqing reported to Li Zhenhua the situation in North Korea. That is, the current situation in North Korea needs to pay more attention to the Imwu Incident ten years ago. Although Da Yuanjun has been cleared The army secretly captured Tianjin and later transferred to Baoding and put him under house arrest. His son Li Ying was in charge. However, due to the weakness and inexperience of the Qing government at that time, when the treaty was signed, the Japanese were given an excuse to obtain the right to station troops in Korea. Now Japan and North Korea areThe Donghak Party members are colluding in secret. They may want to use the Donghak Party members to carry out activities. The intelligence agents stationed in North Korea are currently closely monitoring their actions. If there is any action, they will report it home immediately. Japan's Hirobumi Matsushita and their Emperor Meiji have a clear statement: "If we want to acquire China, we in Japan must first acquire Manchuria and Mongolia; if we want to acquire Manchuria and Mongolia, we must first acquire North Korea." This sentence comes from the famous "Tanaka Memorial". For many years, Japan has been staring at China. This is their first step towards the world. If they cannot obtain China's vast land as a springboard for their aggression, they will not be able to face the world at all. They put the fate of their country on a "gamble". If they defeat China, they will have a way out. If they cannot defeat China, they can only stay on that isolated island. This concept of gambling is not just what some of their senior officials think, but even their grassroots people think this way. Fanatic militarism has spread across the country, and even their children are doing it when they are playing. This kind of game. Their military, political, economic, educational and other state machines are also operating around how to wage war against China. More than 40% of their total national income has been spent on military expenditures. They are doing their best to purchase warships, and various warships also use Chinese warships as their imaginary enemies. Later Sanjing ships also relied on their fast speed and fast firepower to deal with the old warships of the Qing Army's Beiyang Navy. As for the Army, they have formed a large number of new divisions. Their top officials in the Army Department have also set up operational plans to attack China from North Korea and Weihai, and at the same time conducted offensive drills under various circumstances. Seeking for the collection, thank you all. Text Chapter 105 I want a low-key wedding Chapter 105 I want a low-key wedding. At the same time, they sent a large number of spies to China to steal various military, political, and economic intelligence from China. Now because of Li Zhenhua¡¯s reminder to Li Hongzhang, they suddenly took action in Lushun and Weihai. Cleaning up Japan's spy network temporarily caused them to have intelligence problems, but spies in other places were still actively working and were not affected. Li Zhenhua is very clear about this period of history. Soon they will use the "Dongxue Party Incident" to invade North Korea. The thing is like this: In 1894, the "Dongxue Party" incident occurred in North Korea. Japan used this as an excuse to send troops to invade and prepare to provoke the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. North Korea asked the Qing government for help. The Qing court called on Zuo Baogui, Wei Rugui, Ma Yukun, and Feng Feng. Sheng'a and others led 14,000 troops to North Korea to intercept the Japanese army. The president of all the armies was Lieutenant Commander Ye Zhichao, who served as the commander-in-chief. At the same time, they also wanted to launch a surprise attack on China's Beiyang Navy transporting the army. After their careful preparation, the unprepared Beiyang Navy suffered a complete defeat and was forced to sign the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" with them. The Qing government had to cede territory to them. , pay compensation to settle the matter. Looking at this information, Li Zhenhua felt that he should speed up the pace of acquiring the land in Shandong with the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Only when he arrived in Shandong could he control the battlefield situation as much as possible and pull his troops over. Otherwise, he would have to suddenly travel more than 4,000 miles. It's much harder to show up on the battlefield. If he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to make use of his new wife Yaqi. Li Zhenhua thought of this and said to them: "Let's stop here today. Next, we will continue to closely monitor the movements of Japan and North Korea." I also have to think about my next work arrangements." When he arrived at the hospital, Li Zhenhua had already figured out his plan. He said to the two ladies: "How are your injuries, Master Weng? We've been here for such a long time, so we can't support their gang of foodies in vain. Let's send them back quickly." When he said this, Wang Xin and Yaqi both agreed, and Li Zhenhua said to Yaqi: "The Queen Mother and Yaqi. The emperor thinks so highly of me, Li Zhenhua. I can't help but give them some face. I'm going to spend 200,000 taels of silver to ask the queen mother and the emperor to give me the land south of the mouth of the Yellow River in Shandong. I will develop it for farming. From now on, I will contribute 200,000 taels of food to the court every year, which is equivalent to the food of half of Shandong Province." Wang Xin didn't say anything because she and Li Zhenhua had agreed in advance, but Yaqi was there. After calculating the accounts, she raised her head and said to Li Zhenhua: "Husband, I think it's uneconomical for you to do this. The land is completely desolate now. If you give the court 200,000 taels of silver every year, I think it's too much, please." How about you think about it again?" This man started making plans for his husband before he even came to the door. "Not cost-effective? Then according to your opinion, how much money should be given to Chaoting?" Li Zhenhua looked at Yaqi and asked with a smile. "It's only 50,000 taels at most." Yaqi said: "If someone else wants it, the most they can give is 50,000 taels. But if you ask for it as a prince-in-law, you can't give the money, at least within ten years." You can't give money to Chaoting because it will take at least ten years for you to recover the cost." Li Zhenhua was very happy when he saw that Yaqi was planning for himself. He hurriedly said: "But you have to give it to Chaoting anyway. It's not sweet. Let's tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor in your name and mine that you are not acclimatized in the south and want that piece of land in the north as your dowry, but you will have to pay money or food to the court every year for them to watch. How about doing this? " "Okay, let's do it this way. As long as it's less than 200,000, we'll make a profit." This is also a man who is obsessed with money. After saying this, Li Zhenhua said again: "As for the wedding, I want to keep everything simple, which would be unfair to you." "I listen to my husband in everything." Yaqi paused and continued: "Who am I? "Gege, I'm just a chess piece they used to deal with you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be Gege. I know very well how important I am." "If you don't have any objection, then. Let¡¯s just invite everyone to have a meal together.¡± The wedding date was finally decided on August 18th, after the rainy season, and everyone who needed to be notified was notified to those in Annan, Cambodia, Siam, and other places. Senior military officers from Laos and Indonesia, as well as brothers who are desperately trying to make money for themselves, have to inform the local governments of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou. The governors of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan will come without informing them. They will also know early on about the line they have with the court. It is estimated that they will come in person to congratulate the managers of various branches and all the brains from various departments will also come. ??Businesses across Southeast Asia such as the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia??. The American Governor-General Situ Meitang of Zhili, Sichuan, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Hu-Guang just told them that they would not come. After all, the journey was too far. I guess if this wedding wants to be low-key, it won¡¯t go anywhere low-key. We have no choice but to take it one step at a time. As August enters, there are more and more pedestrians on the southern road. Most of them are people going to Fangcheng to congratulate them. Although Fangcheng has developed a lot in the hotel industry in recent years, there are so many people coming this time that it cannot accommodate many. The people have been divided into Qinzhou and Nanning. Anyway, the train is very convenient. There are also several special trains on the railway, so that arriving early and leaving late will not delay things. There are also some people who live in the original work sheds, which are small bamboo houses with a southern style. Although the owners are a little bit embarrassed, the guests are enjoying themselves. This kind of life is very comfortable, so the owners have to let them go. . In Fangcheng, the local people were still going about their own work. It was just the reception work that was a little busier. They concentrated their manpower and rebuilt some small bamboo buildings. Other people had nothing to do. The official day soon arrived, even though it was in Li Zhenhua's heart. They had to keep a low profile, but the announcement still brought a lot of people. All the relevant people were present. The wedding banquet was arranged in several places. First, the heads of government of Southeast Asian countries arranged it together with those from the Qing government. But They did not want to be separated from their senior military officials, so senior guerrilla officials from various places also sat with them. Text Chapter 106 A unique wedding Chapter 106 A Unique Wedding But the banquet staff still cleverly distinguished them. At the table were the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wang Wenzhao, and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Cen Chunxuan. I thought they would not come, but their ears were too long. Later, this person The prince-in-law will be a popular figure in the court. Besides, the weapons he owns are not all provided by others. The instructors of the army are also his subordinates. Why should he give this prince-in-law some face? Look at his posture. He won't be an easy person to get along with, so it's better to become familiar with him in advance to avoid unpleasantness in the future. The two governors, as well as the governor of Yunnan Tang Jiong, the governor of Guangxi Xu Yanxu, and the governor of Guangdong Ni Wenwei, the official envoy Weng Tonghe and the deputy envoy Ye Shan who came from Beijing were with the two governors. The main companion at this table was the governor of Yunnan Tang Jionghe. A group of red-topped Qing Dynasty feudal officials like General Feng Zicai, the former governor of Guangxi, had something to say among themselves when they were together. After arranging this table, it will be easier for everyone else. Other high-ranking officials are also gathered next to them. Businessmen from Southeast Asian countries and the United States are sitting together with local company personnel in Fangcheng. They can perform their own functions and communicate with each other. business information. These people accounted for the majority. Businessmen from all over the world sat together, which was a perfect opportunity for information exchange. Soon people started talking. Each table was prepared with the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper, inkstone and fountain pen. , pencil and paper were placed there. Everyone is remembering what they need. What business information, customer names, addresses, shop names, main items of business, etc., as well as their personal preferences are all recorded, whatever can be recorded. The guards who accompanied the officials sat together with people of the same status as them, and everyone could communicate. However, it was much worse for them to sit together with the officers and soldiers of Li Zhenhua's troops. Listening to those who had fought with the foreign devils Talking about battle experiences is much more exciting than guarding one's own commander every day. Listening to what they said really made my blood boil. Senior researchers from various scientific research institutes are also sitting together. They are also exchanging what they need, especially those foreign scientific and technological personnel. It is rare for them to see this kind of folk custom in China, but today they can't see it because of today's wedding. It will be a unique wedding. Although the weather outside is very hot, it is very cool when you sit indoors. It turns out that Li Zhenhua has produced water-cooled air conditioners in his factory, which uses the circulation of underground water to flow through pipes to various places, and at the same time made large-scale exhaust systems. The wind window is hidden behind a beautifully carved decorative panel. A small motor is used to blow the cold air from the water pipe into the hall. There are also some fans running above the hall. This is also not found in other places in the country. It is useless if there is no electricity in other places. . However, the senior officials were all interested in this thing and they wanted to install it, so Xinghua Group Company added a lot of orders in this regard. Some small business customers are also interested in it. If they have this thing, their customers will definitely be willing to come more often, and they will make money. In addition, there are some people who cannot come to the wedding. Some of them sent representatives or sent telegrams and letters to Fangcheng to congratulate Li Zhenhua on his marriage, such as the Governor of Huguang Zhang Zhidong, the Governor of Zhili Li Hongzhang, and the Governor of Liangjiang Liu Kunyi et al. There are also some ministers in the DPRK who have also expressed their opinions, such as Sun Yuwen, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and several others who have or have no positions, such as Prince Qing Yikuang, who is the Minister of the General Office of the Navy, and personally sent people to go there. Come give gifts. After all the distinguished guests were seated, Fangcheng Mayor Zhao Hongyan began to preside over a simple wedding ceremony. "Dear guests, friends, gentlemen and ladies, everyone is in beautiful Fangcheng. Mr. Li Zhenhua, Miss Li Yaqi, and Miss Wang Xin (the two of them decided to judge the results based on their age. Yaqi is one year older, and her name is placed in front. Yaqi's surname should be Aixinjueluo, but she has to use her husband's surname.) The bride and groom were invited to enter the wedding ceremony. "The band sitting on the side of the hall played a "wedding march." Everyone stood up and applauded warmly. Li Zhenhua walked to the front of the hall accompanied by a best man. On the other side, the two brides walked to Li Zhenhua accompanied by a bridesmaid. The bridesmaid was actually a girl with yellow hair and blue eyes. She turned out to be Miss Esmere from France, a senior engineer at the Naval Research Institute. The clothes Li Zhenhua wore made the officials of the Qing Dynasty very uncomfortable. He did not wear the first-class official uniform given by the court, nor was it a Western tuxedo. Instead, he designed a suit of clothes himself, and the workmanship was very beautiful. The clothes the two ladies sewed for him were basically the same as the navy uniforms he designed himself. What¡¯s even more amazing is the two brides. Instead of wearing traditional Chinese cheongsams, they put on Western-style long skirts. The color is white, which is considered very unlucky by Chinese people. Their feet are not traditional embroidered flower pot-soled shoes. ?A pair of high-heeled leather shoes made the two brides stand tall and straight. Their waists and chests were straightened, making them full of charm. The hairstyle on their heads was not the traditional two-handle style, but a simple and bright one-hand style, with a bright ribbon tied together. The back of the long skirt was so long that there were even two little girls holding her up until she reached Li Zhenhua's side before letting them down. But their bridesmaids were dressed in bright red. The difference between the three people's clothes was the difference in color. There was no difference elsewhere. This made people think that Li Zhenhua was marrying two brides or three brides. Others were okay because they all knew that Li Zhenhua was a person who didn't act according to common sense. Only Master Weng couldn't bear to be there. He originally wanted to leave, but when he saw that no one around him objected, he had no choice but to It was to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart. "The bridegroom and bride salute the guests." Zhao Hongyan shouted. Li Zhenhua, Wang Xin, and Yaqi bowed three times to everyone. Everyone in the audience stood up and returned the gift to Prince Consort and Ge Ge. They did not dare to sit there and accept the gifts from these two people. "The bridegroom and the bride bow to each other." Li Zhenhua stood opposite the two ladies. Under the command of Zhao Hongyan, the couple bowed three times to each other. "Bridegroom, groom exchange gifts." The best man stepped forward and handed an opened jewelry box to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua took out a sparkling ring and put it on Yaqi's left ring finger and kissed Yaqi at the same time. Then he took out another one and put it on Wang Xin's ring finger. At the same time, he kissed Wang Xin again. Then the bridesmaid Esmir also handed a jewelry box to Wang Xin and Yaqi. Yaqi stepped forward, took out a ring, put it on Li Zhenhua's hand, then hugged Li Zhenhua and kissed it. Wang Xin also put it on Li Zhenhua. Put the ring on and give it a kiss. Text Chapter 107 Li Hongzhang¡¯s Three Strategies Chapter 107 Li Hongzhang¡¯s Three Strategies The most incomprehensible thing is that Esmir actually stepped forward and kissed Li Zhenhua. This made everyone laugh happily. I don¡¯t know whether Zhao Hongyan was conscious or she was negligent. After everything was over, she said: "Now I invite our guest Mr. Weng Tonghe to read out the congratulatory letter from the Emperor and the Queen Mother." Master Weng was even more dissatisfied after hearing Zhao Hongyan's introduction. It was supposed to be about reading out the imperial edict, but why was it said that it was about reading out a congratulatory letter? But in front of everyone, he couldn't say anything else, so he stood in front of the stage, took out the yellow imperial edict from his arms, and looked at all the guests who came to the wedding. No one seemed to want to kneel down. He had no choice but to sigh in his heart. He had been an official for decades and this was the most difficult job in his life. He could only read it to everyone while shaking his head. The meaning of this imperial edict is almost the same as last time. The main purpose is to clarify the identity of the prince-in-law. Secondly, it continues to confer him the title of General of Yunnan, but it does not say that Li Zhenhua should be fixed in Yunnan and Guangxi. The meaning is obviously to relax the restrictions on Li Zhenhua but to allow him to I went everywhere and got some rewards. Li Zhenhua was not in the mood to listen to his imperial decree. He didn't listen to them anyway. He just went where he wanted. After the ceremony was completed, everyone started eating and drinking. Li Zhenhua and the two brides went to various tables to toast everyone. When the officials arrived, they all stood up and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the general." Li Zhenhua just said to everyone: "Welcome to come from afar, everyone wants to eat and drink well." Everyone replied in unison: "Thank you, General!" Li Zhenhua stood in front of the businessmen's table: "First of all, I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone and wish you a prosperous business and great wealth." All the merchants replied in unison: "Please take care of me in the future!" When he arrived in front of the soldiers, Li Zhenhua said to everyone: " I hope that the brothers¡¯ military skills and physical fitness will be improved and they will strive to make great contributions in the battle to defend the country in the future.¡± The officers and soldiers all stood up: ¡°Congratulations to the general on the early birth of his son!¡± After the wedding, Weng Tonghe finally completed his mission with Li Zhenhua. Under the arrangement, he and Xiao Shanzi took a boat directly from Fangcheng back to Tianjin and then took the dry road to Beijing. The Queen Mother and the Emperor immediately summoned him. He made a detailed report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Since Li Zhenhua had never regarded Weng Tonghe as a piece of cake, so In the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Weng Tonghe was a capable person but too small-minded. After he reported it, the Empress Dowager had this impression of him, so she didn't pay too much attention to what he said. After Weng Tonghe left, the Queen Mother left Xiao Shanzi behind and started a relationship with him about the situation in the south. Xiao Shanzi didn't say much, he just said that the general was happy and no matter what he did, he would not ignore it if an enemy invaded in the future. In addition, Yaqi Gege seemed to be a little acclimatized there. At the same time, there was a personal letter from Yaqi Gege to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother opened it and read it carefully. The meaning is obvious, that is, Yaqi wants to come to the north. Li Zhenhua also agrees that they have taken a fancy to the barren land south of the Yellow River mouth in Shandong and plan to live there for a long time so that they can fulfill their filial piety to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor Guangxu and agreed to give it to him as a dowry. However, the Queen Mother thought a lot. It would be beneficial for Li Zhenhua to come to the north so that she could control him. But when he comes, if something happens to the south, let him go, right? Easy to use? His soldiers are very good at fighting, and he is also very good at using soldiers. If he comes to the north and brings a large number of soldiers, it will be a bit unstable. But it would be good if he can bring tens of thousands of taels of food to the court every year in the future. of. So the Queen Mother decided to ask the ministers during the morning court the next day to listen to their opinions and then make a decision. The next morning, the Queen Mother asked the eunuch to read Yaqi Gege's letter. The ministers began to discuss it. The first person to object was Weng Tonghe. Now he doesn't care whether it is good or bad. As long as it is proposed by you, Li Zhenhua, I will do it. He opposed Li Zhenhua's coming to the north in the name of being a Yunnan general. But some people have a welcoming attitude. Prince Qing, Minister of the General Office of the Navy, and Sun Yuwen, Minister of the Ministry of War, are among this group of people. What he means is: It¡¯s a barren land anyway. Even if it¡¯s given to them, they won¡¯t live there. They must come to Beijing, so it¡¯s better to let them come back and let Gege perform more filial duties to the Queen Mother. In addition, if Li Zhenhua Wouldn't it be easier to manage in the north? After Li Zhenhua returns to Beijing, he can help train our new army and help develop weapons. These are all things that are beneficial to the country of Qing Dynasty and should not be opposed. However, Weng Tonghe argued so fiercely in the court that he insisted on insisting that General Yunnan not leave. He said that Li Zhenhua had a trick in the south, but he might not be able to do it in the north. He wanted the place at the mouth of the Yellow River, and he wanted to give it to him. Chaoting Yinzi, but if his production fails, won't he make it difficult for his father-in-law? Although Weng Tonghe was quarreling with others at the top of his lungs, even the people in his own camp, the "Qingliu" people, were whispering: "What are you yelling about? You see, the imperial edict didn't even say not to let him leave Yunnan." Guangxi? That means he can go wherever he wants." There was a heated argument in the court, which made the Queen Mother very dissatisfied. When she came back, she thought of her brother-in-law, Prince Gong, so she gave him Yaqi's letter. She went over and wanted to hear his opinion. Unexpectedly, Prince Gong replied immediately. He said that this was a matter of state and he was unemployed and could not say much, but the message he brought was for the Queen Mother to listen to the opinions of Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili. The Queen Mother said in her heart, are you not talking? Let me ask Li Hongzhang what Li Hongzhang doesn't want to do. He wants to see that Li Zhenhua right away. After the Holy Emperor's decree arrived in Tianjin, Li Hongzhang read it without hesitation and immediately expressed some opinions to the Queen Mother and the Emperor about the benefits of Li Zhenhua's visit to Shandong. 1. Li Zhenhua was the emperor in Yunnan and it was far difficult to manage him. Wouldn¡¯t it be easier to manage him if he came to the north? Secondly, since it can increase the revenue of the national treasury, why not? 3. Li Zhenhua's plan to farm in Shandong can provide good protection for the flanks of the Beiyang Navy because he is a man who understands military affairs and will not be detrimental to the country. Based on the above points, Li Zhenhua's requirements must be met as much as possible. He can ask him not to take grain for five years and wait until he has a harvest before asking him for it. Li Hongzhang's three high-sounding reasons only did not express his own thoughts, which was that it would be much safer if he was in his own Weihai in Shandong Province, which is separated from Japan by a narrow strip of water. After reading Li Hongzhang's memorial, the Queen Mother said in her heart: "That Li Zhongtang sees the problem differently from others. His opinion should be the best." So the Queen Mother and the Emperor decided to issue an edict immediately: "for the prince-in-law and Princess. The request for the land at the mouth of the Yellow River was approved, so that the prince would not have to hand over money for five years. We will discuss it after there is a harvest. Now Gege and the prince can live in the capital and in Yunnan. "They did not mention Shandong because they did not mention it. I don¡¯t think Li Zhenhua would live in that barren land of Shandong. Text Chapter 108 Establishing a Political Party Chapter 108 Establishing a Political Party The Queen Mother¡¯s decision gave Li Zhenhua greater convenience. But at the same time, the imperial court issued an imperial edict to Yunnan, Guangdong, and Guangxi, requiring them to increase taxes by 10% every year in view of the increase in income in the three provinces in recent years. After sending off the emissaries, Li Zhenhua immediately discussed with Wang Chi, Tang Jiong, Zhao Hongyan and others, and estimated that Weng Tonghe would definitely ask the three provinces to increase the amount of money they turned over after returning to Beijing. Over the past year, Yunnan has made great progress in all aspects of industrial production due to Tang Jiong's efforts to learn from Li Zhenhua, especially mining production. He has made a lot of income just from Li Zhenhua's dividends. The railway has now begun. The money from the operation is rolling in. The products of the agricultural industry have begun to circulate normally. It has not only driven industry, but also agriculture. In agriculture, due to the introduction of improved varieties, the output has also increased significantly. A large amount of food has flowed to Fangcheng, so Yunnan Raising taxes would be nothing at all. But in the other two provinces, due to the slow progress of the reforms of Guangdong Ni Wenwei and Xu Yanxu, they are just following the lead. Now they have to ask them to pay more money. They still have some difficulties. However, since Weng Tonghe did not go deep into Guangdong and Guangxi to take a look, he just made a fuss. I just think that Guangdong and Guangxi are also close to Li Zhenhua. They have the same development as Fangcheng, so Guangdong Province and Guangxi have increased taxes together. It is estimated that Guangdong and Guangxi are going to have another legal battle with Beijing. They will definitely cry poverty to Beijing, but it will be difficult to get Weng Tonghe to change his mind. Several people discussed together and decided on future work tasks. The key point is still to work hard on economic work, increase investment, expand new industrial enterprises, and obtain economic benefits as soon as possible. Accelerate the construction of railways from Nanning to Kunming and Nanning to Guangzhou to obtain benefits as soon as possible. Mining construction in Yunnan is also It is necessary to speed up the expansion of the second phase of the project as soon as possible on the original basis. In addition, the farmers who occupy the land must be compensated as much as possible or simply let them directly participate in railway work to solve the problem of survival. Thermal power plants and hydropower must also be accelerated. Progress: In the past, we were relatively cautious in recruiting workers. Now we need to expand the scope of recruitment to transfer farmers from the land to industrial construction, and strive to speed up the process of transforming from agriculture to industrialization. Recently, we have to concentrate funds to invest in construction and develop the oil industry in Shandong. The amount of money required there will be an astronomical amount. We must step up preparations and not let our own capital chain have problems. On the military side, a group of officers and non-commissioned officers must be transferred as soon as possible. First, they must have the airs of a division. After arriving in Shandong, they will recruit a large number of farmers to enrich them. From now on, Shandong must be prepared, regardless of whether the superiors agree or disagree, they will be there. Invest a lot of money and people. Everyone else has gone back, but Tang Jiong is left behind. Now Tang Jiong has consciously leaned towards Li Zhenhua, and Li Zhenhua also likes to discuss things with him, so the two of them will have a long talk after the others leave. Tang Jiong believes that as his scope becomes larger and larger in the future, he will now need a large number of cadres. First, he must train himself, and secondly, he must recruit a large number of talents. Many officials currently serving in the Qing government can also be used, such as Li Hongzhang who used Sheng Huai to propagate Zuo Zong. Tang Yong and Hu Xueyan are both very good examples. Since you want to make your career bigger, you must have ambitious goals and plans. ?????All people must have a lofty ideal, so these people should have cohesion. The best manifestation of cohesion is to establish a political party. Tang Jiong expressed some of his thoughts for a long time, which made Li Zhenhua very grateful. It seemed that he had gone too far in some things. He was alienated from those former officials of the Qing government and did not regard them as friends. This is wrong. Many of them are willing to make their country stronger, which is in line with their original intentions. After listening to Tang Jiong's words, Li Zhenhua analyzed his words carefully. He believed that Tang Jiong's statement was correct to a large extent. He must make full use of the abilities of these people so that they can unite around him for his long-term future. The target's contribution of their own strength cannot push them to the opposite side of themselves and make them become their enemies in the future. Regarding these political matters, it seems that I am not as good as these professional politicians. It seems that it is necessary to establish a political party. Having a political party can unite more people. Now some people are very loyal to themselves, but what if they have something? Then all of this will be ruined. If there is such a political party, even if they are gone, they can continue their unfinished business. After careful consideration, Li Zhenhua agreed with Tang Jiong's opinion, so he decided to ask Tang Jiong to take charge of this matter. Tang Jiong immediately said: "Master Li, it is not appropriate for me to do this job. Under the current circumstances, you should still be in charge."It is better to be the head of the party. It can be said that it is the consensus of the public. If I were to serve as the leader of many military personnel, they would not agree. As long as you are here, they will not obey others. So it is better for you to serve as the leader of the party. As the supreme leader, who is also the spiritual leader in people¡¯s minds, I will be responsible for all other specific party work. ¡± Li Zhenhua thought that the history of the Chinese revolution has already proved this. Isn¡¯t the Hitler of the Third Reich like this in Germany? The belief that the emperors of Japan are all such spiritual leaders is indispensable. In addition, The two people also talked about how this organization should be developed in secret. It is better to make it underground before openly confronting the Qing government. Once it openly confronts the Qing government, we can make it public. Since it is secret. Then when we recruit people, we must carefully consider not to expand blindly but to be as concealed as possible. Now our political platform is about to appear. Your Majesty means that in the future we must overthrow the Manchu government and make ourselves the masters of our own country. When we become truly strong, we will no longer be bullied by foreign powers. I believe that most patriotic Chinese people will agree with this political program. Don¡¯t make it too clear with them. If possible, use your identity assumptions. We are going to attack a city, such as Kunming. If you show your identity, you can take it without any blood. But if you rebel and don't use this flag, you may have to attack by force, which will cause certain casualties. You are a soldier. With this comparison, you should be able to consider the issue here. Text Chapter 109 Heading to Dongying Chapter 109 Marching to Dongying We will not need this identity in the future, but now we still have to use it. Even though you are unhappy, this is the saying that a war never tires of deceit. I hope you can listen to me. Li Zhenhua listened patiently to Tang Jiong's analysis and felt that Tang Jiong was much smarter than himself politically, so he agreed to Tang Jiong's request. So they discussed the issue of their first batch of party members. The first batch of party members should be the earliest soldiers who fought with them against the French. Now most of them are senior officers. Then there are the scientific and technological personnel and workers who are loyal to their own country. Among the Qing government officials, they are like-minded people and active supporters of business. There are fewer farmers here, which cannot be ignored. Today's Chinese farmers are definitely dominated by farmers. In the future, it will be necessary for the state to develop party members among farmers. The sky in the east has lit up, which indicates that it will be another good weather today. Li Zhenhua stretched his waist and the two of them talked together all night without knowing it. They felt that they had solved a lot of things. Li Zhenhua said: "Let's solve it first if we don't talk about it anymore." It's a stomach problem." Tang Jiong also said with a smile: "It's not obvious if you don't say it, I'm really hungry." Nowadays, there are already some party organizations in China that are adding one. It doesn¡¯t matter what party it is. This is my own needs. After some preparations, Li Zhenhua convened the first party representative meeting. Attending the meeting were Zhang Xinghua, Ye Zilong, Wei Xiaohu, Liu Yongqiang, Deng Shichang, Yu Qian, Feng Zicai from the military, and Zhan Tianyou, You Xueshi from production and technology. , Xie Zuantai, Wang Chi, business personnel include Wang Xin, government personnel include Zhao Hongyan, Han Zhichao, Feng Yuqing, Li Biao and others, plus Li Zhenhua and Tang Jiong, a total of 18 people. At the meeting, Li Zhenhua first told everyone about the current domestic and international situation, and then Tang Jiong explained the party's political program and read out the party's discipline. Everyone unanimously decided that the name of this political party would be the "Chinese Revolutionary Party". Everyone swore in and became the leadership core. The final meeting decided that Li Zhenhua would be the supreme leader of the party and Tang Jiong would be the secretary-general. Eighteen representatives would join the leadership of the party as the founders of the party. Institutional Central Committee. The next step is for all committee members to secretly publicize the party's political program and development when they return. When new members join the organization, they must be introduced by two party members. Each new party member must hold a ceremony and then take an oath, but all this is done in secret. With. Soon a well-organized political party emerged, but it was all carried out secretly. These party members led the government, army and work, thus forming a strong cohesion and centripetal force. After the meeting, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin asked her to talk to Yaqi and see her attitude. If possible, the two of us would be her introducers to join the party. After Wang Xin talked to her, Yaqi immediately said that she must join this organization. Soon the problem of a family of three will be solved. After that, there will be no need to hide anything from her. This way, the work will be much more beneficial. Beijing soon received a reply. The Queen Mother and the Emperor agreed that Yaqi Gege should settle in the north. They gave Yaqi the barren land south of the mouth of the Yellow River in Shandong Province. The place they gave was larger than what they originally thought, that is, Guangzhou. The two counties of Rao and Lijin were actually larger than the current Dongying, and they generously stated that they would not have to pay money to the court within five years, and that they would wait until the income from farming could be earned. This made Li Zhenhua very happy. He asked Yaqi to write a letter to express his gratitude to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Then came the intensive preparations. Fortunately, some preparations were made in advance. The army was able to board the ship from Haiphong, Batavia and other places. The troops were all war-tested officers and non-commissioned officers. The weapons were all infantry's light weapons. We will send heavy weapons here in the future. The three escorting cruisers are all here. There are also four submarines. Each cruiser is towing two submarines behind it. The neighbors to the east have to be careful. If their warships are discovered, they will attack them. You are welcome. . At the same time, he sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang in Beiyang, telling him that he was going to Shandong. He asked him to inform the Beiyang Navy in Weihai that a large fleet to defend the city would be arriving soon, so that they could be prepared to avoid any misunderstandings, but they had their original Deng Shichang probably won't have any problems. In the golden autumn and September, this is the harvest season. A fleet of more than a dozen transport ships in Fangcheng began to march towards Shandong. The leader of the first advance team was Li Zhenhua. He and Yaqi Gege were sitting on the front warship. Wang Xin first asked her to continue to be responsible for those affairs in the south. Although Li Zhenhua was a northerner in his previous life, he is very unfamiliar with the situation there. Kenli County on the bank of the Yellow River was only established in 1962. Everything started from scratch. Now I just want to find Dongying or Even Saiying Village may not have everything.??We have to wait until later. But no matter how you say that you occupied this place first, it was occupied by Chinese people and it is impossible for foreigners to forcibly rent it again. Wang Xin needs to stay at his base camp. This time, he is accompanied by Yaqi. This is the first time for this little girl to travel such a long distance. At first, she was happy because she could go out with Li Zhenhua, but as time went by, she got annoyed. Although she is from the north, She had never been on a boat, but luckily she didn't get seasick, which would have been a serious problem. The fleet passed Shanghai without entering the port, so there was no need to add anything and it just passed by. The fleet entered the Yellow Sea. Li Zhenhua ordered everyone to be vigilant and watch out. He was worried about the situation in the east. One night passed and we were very close to Qingdao. The sight of white flowers in the east was greatly affected by the sun. Li Zhenhua once again reminded all crew members to pay attention to the situation in the east. The warships lined up on the east side of the fleet and the fleet also accelerated its speed. "Smoke is found in the northeast." Suddenly the lookout standing at the highest point shouted from the highest point. Li Zhenhua raised his telescope. A faint smoke appeared in the northeast. After a while, it could be seen that they were two ships because the smoke was a lot and concentrated. That is not an ordinary fleet, it should be a powerful warship. There won't be other people's warships here. They must be Japanese warships. If they come, you have to "greet" them properly. "Assholes, you are really here." Li Zhenhua cursed lightly and then said to Deng Shichang: "Hang the American flag." Deng Shichang was a little confused, but out of respect and understanding for Li Zhenhua, he immediately ordered the communications soldiers to raise the flag. The flying dragon flag was lowered and an American flag was hoisted. Li Zhenhua clearly remembers that Japan's combined fleet flew the American Stars and Stripes to launch a sneak attack on our Beiyang Navy. He knew this when he was a child when he watched the patriotic education film "Sino-Japanese War". But that also made me realize that there is no trust in the world. If you want to have the final say, you must have strength. If you don¡¯t have strength, please shut up and listen to others. Text Chapter 110 The target "Songdao" opened fire! Chapter 110 The target "Matsushima" opens fire! Twenty minutes later, the warships in the distance had exposed their hulls. Deng Shichang once again issued the order: "Report the opponent's speed and find out the opponent's situation and ship number." As soon as Deng Shichang saw the Japanese warship, he became angry. His biggest regret when he moved from Beiyang to Fangcheng was that he would not be able to fight the Japanese. However, Li Zhenhua told him that Deng Shichang would definitely be a pioneer general in the battle against Japan. This made Deng Shichang relieved. However, he hates the Japanese because they tortured the fishermen along the coast. He doesn't understand why his boss hates the Japanese. Now that the Japanese have appeared, why doesn't he get excited? He knows very well that the Japanese are not things. They often Shelling our fishing boats and killing our fishermen. Now that we have such an opportunity, if we don't deal with them properly, we would be so sorry for these beasts. "Commander Deng," Li Zhenhua said, "The rest is up to you." Deng Shichang immediately stood up and replied, "I promise to make them look good." After a pause, he asked again, "Do you want a living one?" Li Zhenhua smiled at him and said: "How do you deal with them how they treat our fishermen." It seems that his own General Li also knows that the Japanese are not a thing and knows that they torture our fishermen. He knows that Li Zhenhua is a man of two generations. He is nothing to the Japanese. Knows much more than him. In the distance, the Japanese warships had accelerated and rushed towards the fleet. The lookout shouted below: "The enemy warships are traveling at a speed of fourteen knots." Deng Shichang immediately ordered: "Send the signal to Taishan and immediately remove the towed submarine and let the submarine move on its own." We entered the battle state on our own. We met the other ships at a speed of 12 knots. The Yangtze River and Huanghe continued to move forward at a speed of 14 knots. The buzzer on the Taishan "beep," "Beep, beep." There was a sound, and all the officers and soldiers took their positions and entered their combat positions. The cannon removed its coat and the shells entered the barrel. The gunner's instrument was pointed at the enemy warship in the distance. The sound of the lookout was heard from time to time. Come down: "The warship in front is the Japanese Navy's Matsushima. The captain is Omoto. The other ship is the Japanese Navy's Itsukushima. The captain is Yokoo Michio. Their speed is fourteen knots." Li Zhenhua and Deng Shichang know that the Japanese Li Zhenhua knew these two warships from his previous life, while Deng Shichang had seen them before when they were training at sea. These two warships are the ones causing harm to the fishermen along our coast. Deng Shichang knew very well about these two warships. They were both purchased from the British ship with a displacement of 4278 tons. Only one main gun on the front deck was 320 mm. The secondary gun of "Songdao" was 120 mm. The "Itsukushima" has twelve rapid-fire cannons, and its secondary guns are eleven 120-millimeter rapid-fire cannons. Their main guns are as big as small horses and carts. They are just to deal with the Beiyang Navy in the future. Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan". Now my warships have 280 mm main guns, three secondary guns, and twelve 150 mm guns. Although the caliber of the main guns is smaller than theirs, I use a centerline design. Three to one of my secondary guns. The 150mm one has to surpass them in terms of firepower. At the same time, their rate of fire is one shot every two minutes. It is also one shot per minute, but it is a three-shot response. Furthermore, their own range is 15,000 meters, while the Japanese's is 8,000 meters. We also have the upper hand in terms of range. Preemptive. The speed of the Japanese warships is 14 knots, and the speed of their own warships is 19 knots, which is also higher than theirs. Now they have the "Matsushima" in front and the "itsukushima" in the back. They are rushing toward us. So first kill or injure the "Matsushima" in front, and then use your own submarine to deal with the "itsukushima" in the back. ". "Twenty thousand yards!" "Fifteen thousand yards!" The lookouts continued to report their positions. Deng Shichang ordered to turn fifteen degrees to the left and use the starboard side to attack the enemy warships. He was going to fight in the "T" formation commonly used in later naval battles. It's just that the two submarines behind you don't know how to cooperate in fighting yet, so let them down first and let them choose the right opportunity to attack the enemy. The flexible Yu Qian will find the opportunity to attack the enemy on his own. The communications trooper issued a flag command to the rear: "Choose your own moment to attack the enemy." As soon as the "Taishan" slowed down, the cable behind it was removed and the winch was quickly put away. This was all done without the knowledge of the other warship. . The two submarines were now advancing at periscope depth. "Ten thousand yards!" Deng Shichang said to Li Zhenhua: "General, go down here. It is very dangerous." "Don't worry about me, just command your warships." But he asked his guards to take Yaqi down. It was sent down below. Deng Shichang issued a battle order: "Each main gun aimsThe quasi-Japanese navy's Matsushima prepares to fire a salvo! "In fact, there was no need for Deng Shichang to give orders. The gunners of each gun had already ordered the muzzles to be aimed at the enemy warship "Songdao". At a distance of 9,000 yards, the "Taishan" opened fire following Deng Shichang's order, and the warship shook for a while. Three rounds of more than 200 kilograms of artillery shells flew out of the barrel. In the past two years, these sailors have been suffocated. It was just more training and less shooting. Today, we can finally fire at the enemy. The second round after the anti-recoil machine stopped working. The shells were loaded again. It only took less than forty-five seconds from the time the first shell was ejected to the time when the second shell was loaded. It was really fast, considering that the theoretical rate of fire of the opponent's Japanese navy's shells was once every two minutes. . The first round of test fire near misses only caused a tall water column next to the Japanese warship. The Japanese naval soldiers were soaked by the sea water. After adjustment, the second salvo of shells flew out again. The shell directly hit their front deck. The front turret of the Japanese warship "Matsushima" dropped a shell. From the telescope, Li Zhenhua clearly saw that the artillerymen of the Japanese Navy flew towards the barrel of the cannon in the air. There was a vibration. At the same time, a fire broke out there. The well-trained Japanese navy sailors began to put out the fire nervously. Now they are still within the distance of normal shooting training, and they are still rushing towards our warship "Matsushima". Nagao was depressed when he knew why a warship flying the U.S. Navy flag was attacking them. He hurriedly ordered the communications team to urgently inquire. Soon, the flag on the Japanese warship was typed: "You are a U.S. ship? Why attack our Japanese navy? " Only then did Li Zhenhua remember that he was still flying the U.S. Navy flag? He immediately said to Deng Shichang, "Put on our dragon flag. "A dragon flag with red on top and blue on the bottom was raised. Now Omoto realized that it was not an American ship at all. They were the navy of the Qing Dynasty, but the flags were different and their gunnery skills were different. How could it be so accurate? From such a long distance, they only hit the target in the second round? Text Chapter 111 Leave no one alive Chapter 111: Leave no one alive. After hearing the order, the signal soldiers quickly replaced the American flag and raised a dragon flag. However, Deng Shichang kept watching them. In the usual training of the Japanese Navy, they were shooting at a distance of 5,000 yards. At the current distance, they were not mentally prepared to shoot at all. The unprepared Japanese navy had no choice but to rush forward desperately in an attempt to get close to our warship and then fire. But the "Taishan"'s speed of 19 knots is not what they want to do, it can only be what I want. The "Taishan" has always maintained a distance of more than 8,000 yards from them, ruthlessly ravaging the sea. Anyway, our training distance to a Japanese warship was 10,000 yards, and now it is closer to 2,000 yards. We feel relaxed and can fight easily, but the Japanese warship can only take a beating now. At this time, the captain of the "Matsushima" Omoto knew that he had to hastily order the front main gun to start fighting back. However, after the order was given, the front main gun made no sound for a long time. It turns out that the second bombardment of the "Taishan" had already damaged their main gun. Now the artillerymen who are still alive at their gun emplacements are making intensive repairs. The sailors in charge of damage control are going all out. Fight the fire. Finally, after the cannon was repaired, they began to fire back at the "Taishan", but their gunnery skills were so far behind that they couldn't even fire a near-miss because this was not the 5,000-yard range they usually trained on. At this time, the "Itsukushima" running behind also rushed up and was beaten. Deng Shichang ignored him and just ordered to continue attacking the "Songdao". Finally, a shell hit their front deck again like a divine aid, and their cannons were fired. The fire exploded into the sky and immediately started again. The high temperature of the fire caused the shells placed aside to explode on their own. This was followed by a chain reaction in the ammunition depot. Sea water quickly poured into the hull. Soon, the bow of the "Matsushima" began to move downwards. The propellers stuck behind were exposed out of the water and were still turning rapidly. They stopped and became the target of the "Tarzan". The officers and soldiers on the "Matsushima" began to run for their lives. They were fighting for the lifebuoys, but the warship was slowly tilting. The first officer wanted to let Omoto know to escape, but Omoto knew that he pushed him away. He knew such a warship. If the huge whirlpool sank and swept all the soldiers who jumped into the sea into the bottom of the sea, it would be better to be more brave. Anyway, it would be better to die heroically. Seeing that the "Songshima" had no ability to attack, the Taishan's artillery fire turned to the "itsukushima", but Deng Shichang ordered to stop firing before firing a few shots. They were already 10,000 yards away from the "itsukushima". The "Taishan" needs to make a big turn to the front before it can come back to attack them. The captain of the "Itsukushima" Yokoo Michio saw it and hurriedly stopped moving. He wanted to rescue the naval officers and soldiers on the "Matsushima". They put down two The lifeboats and several small boats on the "Songdao" were quickly transferred to the "Isukushima". Originally, there was no need for the "Taishan" to make such a big turn. People did not understand why the very smart Deng Shichang. They had to make such a big turn. When they turned back and were less than 10,000 yards away from the Japanese warship "itsukushima", they quickly understood that a huge explosion suddenly occurred next to the hull of the "itsukushima". The water column rose to a height of tens of meters. Deng Shichang and Li Zhenhua looked at each other and smiled. It turned out that he was going to let the submarine and their "wolf pack" attack. The "Yukushima" has been broken into two parts and is quickly heading towards the sea. The Japanese sailors were stunned when the "Matsushima" heard a huge explosion again. The "Matsushima" with its head stuck below quickly tilted to one side and soon they and their companions were out of the sea. Disappeared. The huge whirlpool brought the two small boats down. There are still four small boats on the water. More than a hundred Japanese sailors are floating on the sea. The "Taishan" came over. They did not rescue those who fell into the water. Ha. The Chikas heavy machine guns and rifles rang out. They didn't leave any survivors for the Japanese. When the two submarines rose from the water, they saw that there was nothing left to survive. They kept complaining that their commander didn't leave any survivors for them. This made them happy. The whole battle can be said to be clean and tidy. It only took less than an hour from the opening of the fire to the end of the battle. From then on, the Japanese navy lost two main warships. Deng Shichang's tactical use should be said. It was perfect. He first used the "Tarzan" to damage the "Matsushima" and attract the "Itsukushima". This time was calculated very well, and the "itsukushima" would enter the battle early and would not attack the "Isukushima". "Songdao" was too late to carry out the rescue, and "itsukushima" might have discovered that the submarine's torpedoes could not allow Yu Qian and them to hit it on the first launch. After the war, when they summarized, Li Zhenhua also said: "Deng Shichang's command can be said to be superb. When the warship arrived, he also left the enemy and would definitely save his own people. At this time, he created an opportunity for the submarine to attack. Although he did not destroy the enemy's warship, he allowed his fleet to win. This isThe quality of a senior commander lies in not seeking merit for himself but seeking complete victory for his fleet. "When later generations' books talked about the first battle of the navy, they all spoke highly of the naval commander Deng Shichang, saying that he was an excellent commander who took the overall situation into consideration. After the fleet bypassed the Shandong Peninsula and entered the sea of ??Weihai, the "Taishan" moved forward quickly They overtook other fleets and headed for Liugong Island in Weihai. The two speedboats in front stopped there. From the flag on the boat, it could be seen that it was a patrol boat of the Beiyang Navy. They saw the "Taishan" even though it was flying A square dragon flag but their own was triangular. They thought it was different from their own dragon flag and stopped them. But when they saw Deng Shichang, they saw that it was Master Deng whom they all knew, and they knelt down together to give him. Mr. Deng said hello. Deng Shichang just gave the sailors a military salute of the Fangcheng Navy and then said to them: "Go and tell them that General Yunnan Li Zhenhua and I want to see Ding Junmen. "A small boat quickly returned to report that a small boat was in front to guide the water. In fact, Deng Shichang didn't need them to guide the water at all. He was very familiar with this place for many years. A large warship came to Liugong Island. This is a big event. The base immediately became busy. When the warship arrived outside the port, the greeting team on the shore was also ready. Admiral Ding Ruchang of the Beiyang Navy stood aside and in the middle stood an old man Deng Shichang and said to Li Zhenhua: "Among the adults, that person is One is Lord Li Zhongtang, Bachelor of Wenhuadian, Governor of Zhili, Minister of Beiyang Commerce, and Co-minister of Beiyang Navy. The one next to Lord Li is Lord Ding Ruchang, Admiral of Beiyang Navy. ¡± Dear readers, please give me your strong support. I would like to ask for your collection, recommendation, and evaluation. Thank you all friends. Text Chapter 112 Beiyang Navy¡¯s ¡°Fatal Disaster¡± Chapter 112 The "Fatal Disaster" of the Beiyang Navy Li Zhenhua nodded. This is the most famous figure in modern Chinese history. He did not expect that Li Hongzhang would come to Weihai to see him. He originally thought that he would have to go to Tianjin to see him. But I don¡¯t know that his current status is very important. He is the prince-in-law of the emperor¡¯s family and a Yunnan general who can run around at will. He is a popular man in the hands of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. No one dares to offend him. But Li Hongzhang is not entirely afraid of him. More To be honest, in this Qing Dynasty, there were not many people that Li Hongzhang could admire. Now he has made a special trip from Tianjin to Weihai to see Li Zhenhua, which is really not easy. Li Zhenhua understood these things, and Deng Shichang asked him for instructions whether to fire a salute to Li Hongzhang. Li Zhenhua said: "This is the creator of the Beiyang Navy, and we should respect him." The warship immediately saluted Li Hongzhang, which made Li Hongzhang start. I felt Li Zhenhua's enthusiasm for me in my heart. As soon as the warship stopped, Li Zhenhua and Deng Shichang got off the warship and arrived in front of Li Hongzhang. Before Li Hongzhang could hand over his hand, the two of them had already performed a military salute with raised hands to Li Hongzhang, and at the same time they also performed a military salute to Ding Ruchang. Ding Ruchang was about to kneel down to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua immediately hugged him and said to him: "If you think highly of Ding Junmen, we will be brothers from now on. Let's not do that. I'm not used to it." He then said to Li Hongzhang: "I am Li Zhongtang. Don't be surprised by this temper. We have been friends for a long time. I guess we can stop being polite." After hearing this, Li Hongzhang burst into laughter: "I have long heard that General Li is a quick-tongued person, and it turned out to be so when I saw him today. Let's just do whatever we want today." Li Hongzhang picked up Li Zhenhua's hand and Ding Ruchang also picked up Deng Shichang's hand and walked towards Ding Ruchang's Beiyang Navy meeting hall. Li Zhenhua immediately said: "My family members are still on the warship. Let her get off, but no one of us should salute. She doesn't like this either." Li Hongzhang and Ding Ruchang were stunned, but no one said anything. He is a prince-in-law and can do whatever he wants. No matter what, let alone a warship, no one else could care about it even if it wanted to go to the moon. So they personally picked up Yaqi Gege. But there was no woman in the entire Beiyang Navy to accompany her, but Li Zhenhua smiled and said: "Don't let others accompany her, just let her follow us. You two old people are her elders, it doesn't matter." "Don't dare" Ding Ruchang He immediately said: "Ge Ge is a golden branch and jade leaf. We dare not call ourselves elders." Li Zhenhua said: "Okay, if we don't say anything, let her follow us." So Ge Ge followed us and went to the meeting hall together. Li Hongzhang has already gotten involved with Li Zhenhua: "When I heard about the general at first, I really didn't think anything of it. But since the general taught the French a lesson, I immediately admired the general." It's just a coincidence that I pretended to be someone in front of you." "The general reminded me to be on guard against Japanese spies. The things I found during the search really shocked me." "The Japanese leader. But we must be on guard against those who have been aiming at us. " "Thank you, General Li, for helping us solve the problem of shell charging." Ding Ruchang asked as several people arrived in the hall and served tea. : "General, why did I see signs of a recent battle on your warship?" At Li Zhenhua's signal, Deng Shichang spoke first. He told the two about his chance encounter with the Japanese navy on the Yellow Sea. Li Hongzhang and Ding Ruchang were completely stunned when they heard this. He didn't expect that they were just a cruiser and could fight two warships similar to his own in a duel and still destroy them all. He didn't believe it anymore, but when he saw Deng Shichang's expression, he knew it was true because there was still a murderous look on Deng Shichang's face and there were traces of battle on the warship he just saw. When Li Hongzhang heard that the underwater machine and boat he gave to Li Zhenhua had achieved great success, he felt a little incredible. It stayed in his warehouse for several years, but when it was in someone else's hands, it immediately played a huge role. . Then I heard that Deng Shichang commanded this battle. Li Hongzhang regretted giving Deng Shichang to Li Zhenhua, but he never imagined that he could play such a big role if Deng Shichang was still in his hands. The two of them were stunned when Li Zhenhua said again: "This time we came to Weihai to tell you that we must be more vigilant against the Japanese to guard against their sudden attacks." Faced with the Japanese's threatening situation, we must guard against it, but However, Li Hongzhang took out a memorial: This is the famous "Please stop the purchase of shipbuilding equipment and reduce the Yongying Zhe" in modern history in the late Qing Dynasty. It was written by Weng Tonghe, the emperor of the two dynasties. Why?Zhenhua didn't have a good opinion of him. This was the most important point. Li Zhenhua took the memorial and read it carefully: "Since I took charge of the Ministry of Finance in the early 14th year of Guangxu, I have only felt that the Holy Lord relied on him to serve me well. During the rest of the period, I have repeatedly planned and planned a comprehensive plan for the country's financial management and long-term plan for the country (first of all, I expressed my public interest.) The current situation is that the country's vitality is not full, and the government is still complicated and the people have not been able to achieve peace and prosperity. There are still many things to be done. However, if the treasury is empty and the expenses are excessive, there is a risk of carelessness. As the saying goes, the only way to succeed is to choose the best among all things. The most important thing is to gradually carry out the work for a long time and avoid being frivolous in order to achieve reality. The next step should be carefully planned and continued when the treasury is full. In this way, the funds can be transferred and the people can make a living. It makes sense that things should happen first and then later.) Since the 10th year of Guangxu's order to the Great Flood Controller, he has made extensive plans and careful management, and although it has cost tens of millions, he has finally achieved success. As far as the Bohai gateway is concerned, the war preparations have been firmly established and the foundation of Jifu seems to be reliable for a long time. It seems that the naval affairs can be slowed down if there is no problem in the sea area, and the land defense is also the foundation of the country. The accumulated shortcomings are getting worse, and the army needs to be rectified urgently. It is necessary to increase the number of weapons and support the old-style funds. It seems that it is better to use other methods to eliminate the weak, retain the strong and merge them with training (first let¡¯s talk about the achievements and then the existing problems will be gradually exposed. His original intention.) The old minister requested that the purchase of artillery vessels in the South and North Sea be suspended for two years until the time limit expires before borrowing funds to make up for it, and that the unused ones should be eliminated to save money and pay. The danger can still be solved and it can be a lasting solution." (In the end, his original intention was to ruin the Beiyang Navy.) Text Chapter 113 The "Fatal Disaster" of the Beiyang Navy (2) Chapter 113 The Beiyang Navy¡¯s ¡°fatal discount¡± (2) This is the Beiyang Navy¡¯s fatal discount. Such a memorial made the Beiyang Navy stop all activities. All the expenses were taken away, and the silver that should be given was also required. It can only be allocated after some cuts. Just such a memorial has already determined the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894. The first part seems to be out of public interest and creates the background for the subsequent "stop", but the latter part is the core of the problem: "There is nothing to do with the navy in the current sea area. It seems that it can be ignored." Slow down. Moreover, the land defense is also the foundation of the country. Today, the Yong camp has accumulated many shortcomings and the military front has turned slack. It is urgent to rectify the old-style military equipment. Therefore, I requested that the purchase of guns and ships in the South and North Sea be suspended for two years until the time limit expires before borrowing funds to make up for it, and that the unused Yongying Station should be eliminated in one piece to save money and pay the department. This solution can still solve the problem of Zhou's treasury. Avoidance can be a lasting solution." Li Zhenhua slammed the copy of the memorial on the table. His eyes were about to burst into flames: "Li Zhongtang is equivalent to selling thousands of brothers in the Beiyang Navy. ." After saying that, Li Zhenhua's tears were already falling. Li Hongzhang, Ding Ruchang, Deng Shichang and Yaqi Gege did not expect that Li Zhenhua would have such an attitude. The only thing in his heart was the country. Although he was angry, he was not to this extent. He could not have imagined that the court would not trust this person, and he never did. People who care about the imperial court can be so concerned about the rise and fall of the Beiyang Navy. People can't help but admire him for being so concerned about the country's coastal defense. The happy atmosphere just now due to the sinking of two Japanese warships was ruined by this memorial in the blink of an eye. Yaqi gently pulled Li Zhenhua's sleeve on the side. Li Zhenhua knew that Yaqi's mind slowly calmed down. Li Hongzhang calmed down for a moment and then stepped forward and asked Li Zhenhua to sit down: "I don't have any good solutions for this. Today I rushed from Tianjin to Weihai just to ask the general for an idea." Li Hongzhang himself also sat down and he continued. : "It's ridiculous to think that a dignified court official like me should be asking a businessman for advice on how to save the country." Li Zhenhua also calmed down. These were all things he knew originally, but when he saw this fatal news, he The fire broke out again. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he had to think carefully about how to solve this problem. Although Li Zhenhua made some preparations for the Sino-Japanese War, it would not have been possible without the efforts of the Beiyang Navy. Li Zhenhua knew that Weng Tonghe had a feud with Li Hongzhang, but he didn't know what it was. So he asked Li Hongzhang why Master Weng and you have such a big hatred? Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and said: "It's a long story to tell about this matter. It starts from thirty years ago." Li Hongzhang picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then told Li Zhenhua a past event from thirty years ago. come out. Weng Tonghe was a scholar at the age of fifteen, won the imperial examination at the age of twenty-two, and entered the Hanlin Academy at the age of twenty-seven. The following year, he was personally promoted by Emperor Wenzong to be the deputy examiner of the provincial examination. He successively conducted examinations in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces. After passing the official career hurdle of going from Hanlin to studying politics, he began to rise steadily. After that, he worked in circles as Minister of Household Affairs, Zuodu Yushi, Xingbu and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. At the age of fifty-two, he was already the last Minister of Military Aircraft who "learned to walk on a military aircraft". In the fourth year of Tongzhi's reign, Master Weng was sent to the Hongde Palace to teach Emperor Mu Zong. Ten years later, he was sent to the Yuqing Palace to teach. The highest level of other scholars today is just the palace examination high school and becoming the disciple of the emperor. But he, Master Weng, has The two disciples are emperors! Even the current Queen Mother would call him "Master" when she saw him without being famous. Although he was on duty as a military aircraft less than two years later, he caught up with "Jiashen Yishu" and was vacated by the Queen Mother, General Gong Wang and other four military ministers. There were several other vacancies in the class. His political career was already cut off, but his master Weng's punishment was just "Gain was dismissed from his post, he remained in office, he resigned from the Military Aircraft Department, and he is still walking in Yuqing Palace." This was because he was the emperor's master in the two dynasties. At that time, the emperor's brother Weng Tongshu mistakenly protected Miao Peilin, which led to the fall of the provincial capital and was taken to the capital by the imperial court. The empress dowager at that time originally had a plan to protect Miao Peilin, but she did not expect that he would be killed by the then commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army. Zeng Guofan's "Shen Weng Tongshu Piece", which became famous all over the world, immediately forced the court into a situation where Weng Tongshu had to be severely punished! And the memorial piece that was named "The Best in the World" was written by Li Hongzhang, who was at the time of Zeng Guofan's Iron Curtain. It is a piece of paper with less than 600 words, but it can be said that every word is bloody. First, it lists Weng Tongshu's many crimes such as failing to distinguish between treacherous and treacherous, misuse of villains, improper handling, greed for life and fear of death, and the loss of two cities in a row. Then he pointed out the contradictions in the several memorials that the eldest brother had given to the court before, and used the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son to kill the retreat of the eldest brother's self-defense! And the last sentence, "The minister's official position should not be tolerated because of the prosperity of Weng Tongshu's family", which further refers to the court's original decision to "accommodate" Weng Tongshu's family in order to take care of it.?The wishful thinking was shattered! Forced into a corner by the masters and disciples Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, the Military Aircraft Department finally had no choice but to perform an operation on the eldest brother and sentenced him to "preparatory execution" according to military law And what about Li Hongzhang? Not long after he became the "first in the world", the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army at the time recommended his favorite disciple to the imperial court to return to his hometown of Hefei, Anhui, to form the "Huai Army" to assist Shanghai. A few months later, he was recommended by Zeng Guofan and became the Jiangsu Army The governor made this "old drunkard" who had long wanted to make contributions but was repeatedly frustrated and lamented that "yesterday I dreamed of becoming a marquis but now I am no longer", in his forties, he jumped from a low-ranking "bandit Hanlin" to the imperial court From then on, his career as a feudal official prospered from the governor of Jiangsu to the governor of Liangjiang, the governor of Huguang, and to this day the governor of Zhili and the minister of commerce in Beiyang. In the 11th year of Tongzhi, he was promoted to the Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian in Jin Dynasty, and then to the Grand Bachelor of Wenhua Palace in Jin Dynasty three years later. Originally, Weng Tonghe thought that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would open up because of the fact that he was the master of the two dynasties. However, he did not expect that his eldest brother would be confessed with just such a piece of information. When he heard the news, Weng Tonghe's father, Weng Tonghe, felt guilty. He passed away soon after he fell seriously ill. The eldest brother also died on the way to Ningxia. Weng Tonghe believed that two generations of his family died at the hands of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. The hatred of killing his father and killing his brother has been weighing on his heart until now, twenty-nine years later. Now it seems that Li Hongzhang, who has been carefully trained by the Beiyang Navy for more than ten years, has become a success. He just thinks that in this way, Li Hongzhang can be put to death. However, he only thinks of his own personal hatred, but he throws away the interests of the country. While destroying thousands of brothers in the Beiyang Navy. Text Chapter 114 The most profitable woman in the world Chapter 114 The woman who is the best at making money in the world After listening to Li Hongzhang¡¯s account, Li Zhenhua understood in his heart that that period of history was even more hateful to Weng Tonghe as a person. It turned out that he didn¡¯t know that if he knew this code, he might really be in Fangcheng. kill him. It's not too late to kill him now, but Li Zhenhua feels that killing him now can't save the Beiyang Navy's predicament. The old woman won't stop the garden repair project. Put that Weng Tonghe down first. The first thing is to solve Li Hongzhang's problem. After all, he is He who appears as a businessman cannot take charge of the country's defense work by himself. He just promised Li Hongzhang that if the Japanese launch an attack on us, he will never stand idly by and will do his best to support us. What can be done now is to let their marines come to train with their own troops, and then provide them with some advanced weapons and equipment. I believe that they will become brave warriors in future battles. Anyway, most of these people are hot-blooded men. They don't have people like Fang Boqian in them, so they might as well become their own people. At the same time, his own people also went to the Marine Corps of the Beiyang Navy. Li Hongzhang was quite satisfied with Li Zhenhua¡¯s reply because as a businessman, he had done his best for the country. He asked Ding Ruchang to quickly send the Marines to Li Zhenhua's small place in Shandong, so that Ding Ruchang could save some money and preserve some strength first so that the old woman would not be eliminated at any time. Li Zhenhua left without delay and left immediately. He had more things to do there than he, the Lord of the Central Hall. Since I have already agreed to Li Hongzhang, I will have to express it then. I can't say no. You must know that this is related to the safety of the country, so you must seize the time and arrange the work in Shandong as soon as possible, because this is also for the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. A preparation. Li Hongzhang returned to Tianjin and immediately reported to the court that Li Zhenhua had arrived in Shandong. At the same time, he reported to the Queen Mother and the Emperor in a secret way that they had sunk two Japanese warships. He felt that Li Zhenhua's people were suffering too much in Dongying, so he asked Mr. Yang, the governor of Shandong, to provide some necessary help to Li Zhenhua's Dongying. The Queen Mother immediately became happy when she heard the news. Li Zhenhua finally came to the north. This was beneficial to his management. The Emperor also happily said: "This prince-in-law is really capable. One of their warships can destroy the Japanese warships in one go." After sinking two ships, it seems that our Beiyang Navy's performance will not be bad if it fights with them. "But the Queen Mother said: "Don't be too happy, why did Li Zhenhua say that he has no soldiers? There will be warships coming out. Didn't the ministers say that his warships are used to escort his trade routes? "The Queen Mother is just worried about the Han people with military power. Seeing the Queen Mother's performance, Weng Tonghe immediately continued: " Report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor: The sinking of two Japanese warships this time by my consort should be a good thing, but I am worried that it will have some bad effects. The Japanese did not provoke me, but we took the initiative to attack them. This is not very good. I think I have always been a Chinese. This time we take the initiative to attack them, and they will definitely start a fight against us, which is likely to cause some trouble." Sun Yuwen, the Minister of War, and Weng Tonghe are political enemies. He immediately retorted: " No one knows about this unless we tell them that there is no evidence, then they are just talking nonsense and it will not cause any dispute. But I think our Beiyang Navy should be prepared." The emperor immediately said: "Tell Li. The Zhongtang asked him to be more vigilant to guard against the Japanese's revenge." The Queen Mother saw that they had changed the subject and did not say anything. She just explained it to Prince Qing, the Minister of Naval Affairs. The biggest corrupt official in the late Qing Dynasty should be Prince Qing Yikuang. He surpassed all competitors and ascended to the throne of the Naval Affairs Yamen. All relatives and friends, whether related or not related, all rushed up (here I use the word "Chong"). This is the biggest shortage of the Qing government.) The money spent is just like running water. In order to silence the Queen Mother and others, he has to show the Central Government to the Queen Mother and feed those useful and useless idlers. These are all decimals. It was his own extravagance. From the time when he took up the post of Naval Affairs Office to the time of the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1898, the Navy Office provided a total of 16 million taels of silver to the Queen Mother's "Garden Project". This money should buy the British Royal Navy and make it rich. In that case, why be afraid of Japan's small combined fleet. The Queen Mother¡¯s daily expenses are 40,000 taels of silver. One warship is spent in 12 months, which means a fleet is spent. Someone has calculated her expenses, which means that only 30% of the money she spent was used on so-called "business" and the other 70% was the "hands-on" expenses of those who dealt with it. For example, there are Once she was watching a play in her garden and needed to build a theater booth to block the sun.It turned out to be 300,000 taels of silver. In this calculation, only 90,000 taels were used to build a theater. But how could 90,000 taels be used to build a theater? So I'm afraid this 30-70 argument is untenable. I have to say that Nala is a person who is very good at making money. It is speculated that she has about 400 million taels of personal silver. She is so rich. Why does she not use her own money to repair the garden but use the navy's funds to repair the garden? Say what? This can only be her selfish desire as a widow. Comparing her with the empress of Japan, there is no way to say that one saves 300,000 yuan in royal palace expenses every year to support the navy, and the other is holding on to her own pockets to desperately reduce the navy's funding. To say that the Qing Dynasty cannot be said to have no strength, it is because of her excessive squandering. She has successively paid indemnities to foreign powers, including 20,000 taels from the Japanese and 40,000 taels from the Eight-Nation Alliance. Plus interest, how much is this? You need to find professionals to do the calculations. "That's why, when the whole country of Japan was bent on dealing with the Qing Dynasty, she still deducted naval expenses for no reason to satisfy her personal desires. Just one of her graves would have cost nearly ten million taels, otherwise the later warlord Sun Dianying would have his soldiers dig her grave in the name of an exercise decades after her death because he was afraid that the soldiers who went down would hide the jewels. Sun Dianying did not allow his soldiers to go naked to the tomb to take things out. Those soldiers could not help but go up to vent their anger when they saw the well-maintained Empress Dowager Cixi. This could only be her retribution. However, no one knows exactly how many valuable things were taken out. There is another chapter tonight, please support me. Text Chapter 115 By the Yellow River Chapter 115: By the Yellow River. Coming out of Liugong Island, the "Taishan" started at full power and soon caught up with his own fleet. They entered the mouth of the Yellow River together. Since it was autumn, the water in the Yellow River was already picked by many of the people who came first. A simple wharf was built at the place where the ferry was located to facilitate the unloading of the fleet's cargo. Although it was simple, the wharf was very large and nearly three miles long. Most of the ships can be docked, but loading and unloading the cargo is much more laborious. However, the cargo ship is close to the better dock. The soldiers all launched themselves into the water and landed. Seeing that the soldiers had all entered the water, Li Zhenhua also wanted to go down, but Ya Qi also took off her shoes and socks to go down. Seeing Yaqi's small feet made Li Zhenhua's heart tremble. He hurriedly said to Yaqi: "I'll carry you up." When Yaqi heard this, he immediately said: "That's not okay. I can't let my husband carry me." "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't do if I carry you?" "No, no, I don't dare to let my husband carry me." "Hurry up." Li Zhenhua pulled Yaqi down to the end of the springboard with his hands, but Yaqi hurriedly walked towards the water on her own. She didn't want to cross the river on her husband's back. This was so unlucky. Li Zhenhua caught up with her and took two steps to pull her to the shore. The water here was not deep, only reaching her thighs. Yaqi had never seen the Yellow River before. She asked Li Zhenhua, "Why is the water all yellow?" Li Zhenhua He patiently told him: "The upper reaches of the Yellow River used to be very clear, but when they flowed through the Loess Plateau, they brought a lot of sediment with them, and the water turned yellow, so people called it the Yellow River." Yaqi nodded and felt in her heart that her husband was really a capable person. How could he know so many things in this world? She lost her balance and fell into the water. Li Zhenhua burst into laughter and hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Yaqi's small body and carried her to the shore. The guards nearby were too embarrassed to say anything about the chief. Let's hug him. That would be a joke. Yaqi hugged Li Zhenhua's neck with her hands. She gently kissed Li Zhenhua's face and his face turned red like red cloth. Li Zhenhua and his guards landed on land. The soldiers who came up first were already setting up tents. The tents they were going to stay here for a few days were all prefabricated pieces of cloth. They quickly assembled them together to form a complete tent. That was done. Li Zhenhua asked Yaqi to go in first and change her wet clothes. He tidied his clothes and shoes and then began to inspect the work of each unit. On the south bank of the Yellow River, the soldiers have begun to set up tents. There are nearly 10,000 people coming this time. There are more than 6,000 troops there and more than 2,000 engineering and technical personnel. Since there was no professional loading and unloading team, all our own soldiers became stevedores. A large number of officers and soldiers left some logistics personnel to do their own logistics, and the rest began to rush to unload the cargo from the ship to the shore. A lot of equipment is large and weighs tons. The lifting equipment on the ship lifted the goods from the ship. The soldiers used manpower to pull them to the shore. People shouted slogans and pulled the equipment together. shore. It's easy to lift or move small items. Having said that, everyone's morale is very high and the work efficiency is very fast. After unloading all the things, it was already midnight. After having a hearty dinner, it was still not too cold. All the staff had to camp locally. Fortunately, in that era, people's life was not a big deal. It was on the high ground by the river. The tents were set up, but some people did not have tents, so they rested in the open air. Li Zhenhua asked them to light some fires and stay aside to rest. Because the soldiers were busy unloading the goods during the day, everyone was tired, and soon everyone fell asleep. . But Li Zhenhua can't rest now. The heads of various units came to Li Zhenhua's tent for a meeting to discuss things. He was listening to the reports of some people and began to arrange the next work. The top priority is to build a road from the Yellow River to Dongying to facilitate the transportation of those people. When the heavy equipment is transported there, why not arrange it here? Li Zhenhua knows that the Yellow River is not so safe. From the strategic position, it is not very good. If the Western powers come, this area will be under the cannon of their warships. It will not work to go south. It would be very good to avoid here and build a new city in Dongying. Why later generations must choose the location there for a reason. If you don't know now, just decide according to the address of future generations. This place on the edge of the Yellow River will be Kenli County in the future. This is a county-level unit that only existed in 1962. Now there are some fishermen here. They want to survive on the edge of the Yellow River. In the future, they will also establish a county-level unit here. The management unit facilitates the management of this port terminal. Dongying should be the central area. It will be the focus of this area in the future. It will be easier to contact various places. At the same time, it is also closer to Weihai, making it easier to provide support to Weihai. Starting from tomorrowThe earliest advance team has arrived for more than a month. Their leader is Lin Zhiming. They obtained local maps through the county offices of Lijin County and Guangrao County, but those maps were not very accurate. Li Zhenhua asked his The intelligence staff made a map made by the Japanese and compared it twice. Li Zhenhua could see the small village Dongying Village from above. My advance team has already drawn a circle around the small village. The people attending the meeting had all left. Li Zhenhua was still looking at Dongying Village. Yaqi brought Li Zhenhua foot-washing water. She put it aside and then gently put a coat on him and whispered: "Husband, concubine." I don¡¯t understand why you are so fascinated by this small village?¡± Li Zhenhua¡¯s hand went around Yaqi¡¯s waist and slid down to her buttocks: ¡°This is our treasure, you will know soon. The development is here." Yaqi shook her head and said to Li Zhenhua, "I'll bring the water and ask you to wash your feet." Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "You are tired today. Come and let me wash your feet." "Okay." Why did this sentence scare Yaqi? You wash my feet before she realizes it. Li Zhenhua has already gently pushed her to the chair. The chair is covered with the piece of tiger Pi Yaqi that he beat. Then she realizes that her husband really said that she wants to wash her feet. And he was about to take action. Yaqi immediately jumped up in fright: "Isn't this okay? There are men who wash women's feet?" She was so anxious that she wanted to kneel down to Li Zhenhua. Text Chapter 116 Equality between husband and wife Chapter 116 Equality between husband and wife Li Zhenhua laughed when he saw her like this: "It is only natural that you wash my feet and I wash your feet, it is the same. There is no difference between husband and wife. This is equality between husband and wife." Hearing Li Zhenhua's words, Ya Qi seemed to have heard a thunderbolt. There is such a thing in the world and there is equality between men and women. Even if she is exposed to some Western civilization, it is unreasonable for a man to wash his wife's feet. But Li Zhenhua pushed her to the chair again and sat down. Next, he gently took off her shoes and socks. He first tested the temperature in the basin and then gently washed her. While washing, he said: "You have never been tired before, and now you have to be like this when you are with me." Prepare mentally." Suddenly a drop of water fell on Li Zhenhua's hand. Li Zhenhua looked up and saw that Yaqi's tears had already fallen. "What are you doing? Why are you just washing your feet? Why are you crying instead?" Seeing that the beauty was extremely uncomfortable with his methods, Li Zhenhua hurriedly ended the service that made her extremely miserable and hugged her up. Yaqi had already She let go of her eyes and kept streaming. Li Zhenhua gently kissed the tears on her face with his lips and gently put her on the bed. Only then did Yaqi wake up. She hurriedly went to pour Li Zhenhua's tears. But Li Zhenhua stopped her and said to her: "It's too cold outside, be careful not to freeze. If you get sick, it will be bad." Yaqi had no choice but to sit on the bed blankly and let Li Zhenhua fall alone. She changed the water into a basin and washed herself, then sat on the bed. Yaqi carefully said to Li Zhenhua: "Can you not do this in the future? It is natural for a woman to serve a man, right?" "No, men and women should be equal. "Li Zhenhua looked at her as if she didn't know what she was doing and started playing pranks again. He lay on the bed and stretched out his hand to pull Yaqi over and let her fall on top of him. This made Yaqi sigh softly. This woman is in a man's arms. Yaqi, who had received orthodox education since childhood, would never dare to do this. She climbed down in a hurry, which made Li Zhenhua laugh again. Yaqi hurriedly begged Li Zhenhua to stop making trouble, but she liked to sleep with her head on Li Zhenhua's arm. The two had been arguing for a while, and Li Zhenhua had already turned into a bad wolf, with his hands on Yaqi's body. Although Yaqi couldn't stand wandering around anymore, Yaqi knew that her husband was too tired today. Others were just physically tired, but he had to practice the same as others and at the same time coordinate and manage all the work. Although she had the intention She had to cater to Li Zhenhua's teasing, but her reason told her that she couldn't do it today. Don't tire her husband out because she had to rely on him for so many things. She had no choice but to say softly to Li Zhenhua: "I'm too tired today. Can you please let me go today?" Activity put Yaqi in his arms and fell asleep. When Yaqi saw Li Zhenhua sleeping, she thought in her heart that he was still a big child, but he was carrying a heavy burden of tens of millions of pounds. She took her head out of Li Zhenhua's arms and let him have a good night's rest. There will be tomorrow. More things are waiting for him. In the future, I will try my best to help him do more things so that he can have more time to rest. My sister Wang Xin had already said when she came here that she must take good care of her husband. She must take good care of him and not let him be dissatisfied at all. But she didn't let him enjoy himself just now. Wouldn't he be unhappy? Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. It's also for his own good. It is really difficult to say that Yaqi should be Li Zhenhua's wife. It was just dawn in the morning and the wake-up bugles were ringing in each camp. Li Zhenhua got up immediately. Yaqi had already gotten up. She had already prepared breakfast for Li Zhenhua. Today, the troops stopped morning exercises and began to work on road construction. Starting today, all personnel except those engineering technicians and individual people with tasks will enter the front line of road construction work. Build a simple road from here to Dongying Village to transport all materials there. The road construction technicians have already The route has been determined and will be built in sections starting today. This place is different from Fangcheng. There are no mountain obstacles. There are only rivers, but you can¡¯t see big rivers from the map. That¡¯s easy to say. But there are a few wetlands, so it¡¯s not a big problem. It would be best if you can go directly. If not, then go around. The second thing is to consider that most of the people coming here are from the south. They are definitely not used to the situation here. So we need to pay more attention to drinking water in all aspects. You cannot drink water from puddles on the spot. You have to dig a small puddle to drink from the seepage. The water that comes is naturally filtered or simply comes from a well. It is more than thirty miles from Dongying to the edge of the Yellow River. For each mile, two hundred soldiers are assigned to work in sections, plus some other personnel. Li Zhenhua requires that the task must be completed in the shortest possible time. Which unit will fall behind? That proves that their ability is not enough.In the future, their troops may be the material of the reserve team. Li Zhenhua's skills are really damaging. None of the soldiers want to be the reserve team in the future war, so they work like crazy. The work of building roads is relatively simple. The officers and soldiers who had just left agricultural labor had all done this work before. After they separated, they first built a layer of roadbed on the ground, then covered it with soil and a layer of white ash. Mix it together to form triple soil, then pound it with stone tampers, and then add two layers of triple soil. There will be a total of three layers of triple soil, and the road will be quite strong. The road is relatively long. The tools in the hands of the officers and soldiers are their engineer shovels. The other large equipment is a few rollers and a few tractors. The road was paved by manpower. The soil was thrown over by the officers and soldiers with all their strength. Then use the shovel end to spread the white ash evenly on the surface. Then the tractor will turn it over and then go up and down the next layer. The tractor runs back and forth. After the three layers of pavement are completed, the tractor will first go over them and then those bulky ones. The road roller flattened the entire road surface, which was higher than the two sides. People called it fish back because there was no water in the middle. Text Chapter 117 Road Construction Chapter 117 Road Construction When it was time to apply soil, all the people rushed to both sides of the roadbed and threw soil into the middle with shovels. The shovels were flying. The dust flew to a certain height. After that, people went up to level it and spread the white ash evenly. Although it was necessary to They waited for the tractor to turn over, but the officers and soldiers couldn't wait any longer, so they used shovels to stir it up. When the tractor comes, let it work for a while. The officers and soldiers can take a rest. When the tractor passes, people start to use stone rammers to do the first layer of the foundation, and then the second layer. There is a difference in tamping. Some are from the north. There are two-person lifts. Some are called wooden men, which use a garden log and nail a piece of wood on one side for two people to smash. Some are several lifts with several sticks attached to them. Anyway, they can be used in the south and the north. People have come up with a way to do it, which is to grab the construction deadline and do more work before the freeze comes. Li Zhenhua and Yaqi were also doing it with the people. He had a few blisters on his hands, which made Yaqi very heartbroken. But seeing everyone working hard, she didn't say anything to Li Zhenhua, but she She was a woman who also had blisters on her hands long ago. When people saw the general and Princess working at the same construction site as everyone else, they were happy and excited. People were shouting: "Do more for the madam." Or "Eleven more points for the general." The road changes day by day, and often people have to grab a few more to survive after getting off work. It only took a few days for a dirt road to basically take shape. However, there were certain sections of the project that were stopped by the defendant's technical staff. It turned out that it was a wetland and all that was dug out was wet mud. The engineering and technical staff did not allow people to continue. During construction, the newly excavated soil needed to be dried in the sun to reduce the moisture before the construction could continue. At first, the officers and soldiers were unwilling. Later, some people actually got into trouble with the technicians, and someone immediately reported the matter to Li Zhenhua. When Li Zhenhua went over and saw what was going on, he immediately stopped them. He knew the conditions in these areas. If the soil with too much moisture was thrown onto the roadbed, it would not be dry anymore. When pressed on it, it would be soft. The road in Dakeng is simply not up to standard, and future heavy-duty vehicles will not be able to travel at all. This is a quality problem, and we must not let it go. But those officers and soldiers who stopped working were afraid that they would not be allowed to go to the front line in future wars. They were worried. Li Zhenhua had to say to them: "I can't blame you for this matter. We are too slow to ensure quality. It is not your fault. I I won¡¯t blame you. ¡°The officers and soldiers have a heavy workload every day and everyone is very tired, but Li Zhenhua emphasized that we must ensure that everyone¡¯s life must be better. A large amount of pork and vegetables were transported from Dongying to Huanghe Bank. There is plenty of rice and flour in the material storage area. The officers and soldiers eat three meals a day on the construction site. On this day, Yaqi and a group of soldiers from the cooking class brought food to the people. The soldiers ate in a hurry. Li Zhenhua felt that the officers and soldiers should liven up the atmosphere, so he stood up and said to everyone: "You guys eat I'll sing a song for everyone." The soldiers shouted "Okay!" The atmosphere immediately became lively. Li Zhenhua didn't know many songs, so he sang "Journey Horse" for everyone. Mercedes-Benz protects the frontier.¡± "The horse is galloping on the grassland, the gun is clenched and the sword is shining. The mountains and rivers of the motherland are closely connected to my heart. I will never let the jackals invade. My father helps me drink the horse. My mother sews my clothes. The milking girl waves to me. Smiling and drinking a cup of milk tea, the friendship is deep. The border is my family. The people and the army are closely connected. There is mother's love everywhere and the smiling faces of relatives everywhere. " Yaqi, who was watching Li Zhenhua singing, heard the tune of this familiar Mongolian folk song. She stood up slowly, hesitated for a moment, and then she began to dance the Mongolian dance to Li Zhenhua's singing. Li Zhenhua's singing had already made people intoxicated, and Yaqi's graceful dance made people feel that it was elegant. Artistic enjoyment. People have never enjoyed such singing and dancing. The officers and soldiers stopped using their chopsticks and listened intently. A soldier took out the flute beside him and played it. Two Mongolian soldiers also joined the dance. The singing ended and the dancing stopped. People still looked so attentive. After a while, one person started to applaud first, and then the hundreds of officers and soldiers also started to applaud. They were clapping so hard that their hands were almost red. But they This has never happened before. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "I made everyone laugh." Yaqi next to him also bowed to the soldiers again and again to thank Li Zhenhua and then said: "Now let's invite our soldiers to come and join us." So the soldiers shouted together again. Get up and let their comrades perform their own show. The road is progressing very quickly, but there are some places where the engineers do not make the soldiers happy. They are very picky about what appears in the roadbed.Sand and soil are not acceptable because they cannot be mixed with white ash, which will also cause problems for the roadbed. This makes the heads of those officers and soldiers big. People can just throw soil on it, but they still have to look for it everywhere. Soil is much slower, but the engineers say it's not because you don't work hard, but because the soil is not good enough, so they can't blame you. With the supervision of these engineers, this road can be said to be the road bed of the highest grade road in the entire Qing Dynasty. This speed was definitely a record speed for the Qing Dynasty at that time. This made those Beiyang Navy marines who had just arrived really convinced that their work was life-threatening. I had never done this before. It seems that if I get to this army, I will have to be like this. Otherwise, even if the job of serving as a soldier and eating food is over, they will pay attention to it ideologically and voluntarily devote themselves to this production and construction work. Seven days later, the entire road surface was basically completed. Only some areas with poor soil quality and high water content were not yet completed, but the large troops could be withdrawn. The next step was to transport various military supplies and production equipment. After ten days of transportation, all the equipment was quickly transported from the river to Dongying. Immediately, a new city was established and the mayor was Lin Zhiming. All things here in Dongying are managed by Lin Zhiming. Text Chapter 118 Gege goes to recruit workers Chapter 118 Gege goes to recruit workers. A large amount of equipment will come in in the future, so Mayor Lin Zhiming specially found another place in Laizhou Bay to be used as a seaport. Since it is the alluvial plain of the Yellow River, the sea water is relatively shallow, so it can only dock small ones. Cargo ships and warships used the impact of the river water to wash away the sand on the beach, forming a waterway underneath so that larger ships could enter. The work here is divided into several parts. First, the geological exploration is carried out, the drilling team starts drilling wells, the refinery is built, the residential buildings for employees are built, the military camps are established, the farms set up their own drilling teams and build roads leading to various places. There is so much work ahead of them. Even Li Zhenhua's head was a little big, but the work could not be delayed, so he called all the heads of the units together to discuss how to solve the manpower problem. After he explained the problem to everyone, everyone calmed down. The weather has reached late autumn. Fangcheng is still very hot at this time, but the temperature difference between day and night here is very big. Fortunately, it is already very cold during the day for some people who come from the south. But it was very uncomfortable to see that everyone was silent. Yaqi quietly said to Li Zhenhua: "How about we ask for someone from the court." Li Biao, who was temporarily in charge of the military work, immediately said: "That won't work. The first is the court. No one said anything anymore. Even if someone sent us some Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers, it would be useless. " Lin Zhiming said: "If that doesn't work, let's just hire some temporary workers. Shandong is not a small place anyway. Now Lijinhe. The two counties of Guangrao are also ours." Yaqi asked hurriedly: "Will the magistrates of those two counties support us?" Lin Zhiming laughed: "You don't know that the imperial court has already issued an imperial edict? It was given to the general, so the magistrates of those two counties have already left their posts, and they are still waiting for the general to send someone to be the magistrate." Li Zhenhua asked in surprise, "Is there still such a thing?" Yaqi said on the side. Yes, since Chaoting has given the place to us, Chaoting will generally leave it alone. Everything here will be decided by ourselves. " "That's great, Zhiming, please arrange for someone to take office immediately. " "The thing is that the imperial court just transferred the county magistrate, but the team there is still there." "So that's what it is," Li Zhenhua said: "Then let the person with the highest position first take care of who will be in the future. After outstanding political performance, anyone can take charge of a county. " Lin Zhiming said, "It's best if Yaqi Gege takes a look at it. Her words have weight." "Yes! That's right!" Those people all knelt down to her. ""I don't like them kneeling down to me." "Whether you like it or not, I'll leave it to you. Go ahead and give them the first task. That is to let them mobilize a large number of young and middle-aged laborers to come to work here, so that they can treat the people better and not force people to come. I believe that people will definitely come with the generous treatment here. The second is to let them put their extra vegetables. The pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses were sold to us for pork and mutton, and we could use the cattle and horses for work." Li Biao hurriedly said, "If they are willing to serve as soldiers, they can come with them." Li Zhenhua added: "Let's do it like this first, but it's not enough. Especially when the new people arrive here and don't know anything, they need to be trained." "Then let's do the training first," Lin Zhiming said, "and then take up the job or "Work while training." Li Biao said: "We also need to mobilize the officers and soldiers in the army to work harder to get more work." "If that doesn't work, the officers and soldiers are already very tired, so don't let them work overtime. We can't exhaust them all and tell the logistics to make the food as good as possible." Early the next morning, Yaqi drove two guards and went to Guangrao and Lijin with Lin Zhiming because they were not alone. They can only go to one place first and then to another place, so let's go to Guangrao County first today. When he arrived at the county government office in Guangrao, he saw that there was only one government official sitting in front of the deserted government office, dozing off. When he saw a car stopped, he hurriedly opened his eyes and then staggered over. He bowed to several people and asked, "What do you guys do for a living?" Lin Zhiming saw him and waved his hands and said, "I'm looking for you to be an official here." The officer said hurriedly: "You guys," maybe Seeing that this woman Yaqi was still wearing work clothes, he didn't regard her as a big shot: "Our county magistrate has already left office, and General Li hasn't sent us the county magistrate yet." The guard said: "Don't bother asking your official. Where is he going?"Got it? "The yamen servant said hurriedly: "Master! Now that the real owner is gone, only two careless men have the final say (this sounds awkward). " "Then hurry up and call them, just say someone is coming from above. " When the yamen officer saw that these masters could not be offended by himself, he ran quickly to invite the two masters. At this time, some ordinary people had already gathered in front of the car. There was nothing wrong with the ordinary people in the fields in autumn. I had no choice but to stay at home. Some old people squatted under the wall all day long to bask in the sun and gossip. In this way, they could save money by not being active. Everyone gossiping together could also relieve their boredom. It was warm in the sun and saved the heating problem. So at that time The farmers like to squat on the wall when they have nothing to do. Now when they saw that the men had no braids on their heads and the women were dressed in nondescript ways, but they were as tall as gods, they all found it strange and gathered around to watch the fun. Yaqi touched the car and played with the children, telling them what the car was and what it was used for. After a while, the government servant came back and was followed by two people. It turned out that the two people were walking in a hurry. Seeing the appearance of the four of them, he immediately slowed down. Lin Zhiming said to Yaqi: "It seems that they don't take us seriously. It would be better if we had a roof over our heads." Yaqi smiled and said: "They are too courageous and they won't be them anymore." " Text Chapter 119 Whoever does a good job will be the county magistrate Chapter 119 Whoever does a good job will be the county magistrate. The two guards also laughed. After a while, two officials wearing red hats and helmets arrived in front of them. They bowed to Yaqi and Lin Zhiming and asked: "Are you guys here to say hello?" "What's the order?" A guard yelled: "How dare you, Yaqi Gege, don't kneel down here!" The two officials were not frightened and were still looking around at the Gege sedan guards. They actually dared to disobey. He pulled it out from his waist. "Don't get angry, they don't know us." Lin Zhiming said to the two of them as soon as he saw that they were about to use force. He said to the two officials: "You don't know us, right? Let me introduce to you, this is Ya who has been personally conferred by the Holy Emperor. "Qi Gege, I am Lin Zhiming, the mayor of Dongying under General Li of Yunnan." Seeing this posture, the two officials did not understand and did not dare to listen. They hurriedly shook their sleeves. He knelt down and said, "Little Jian Yaqi, Gege Jian Master Lin." Yaqi stepped forward and said to them, "Get up and go in to talk. Don't let us stand here all the time." The two people hurriedly led them away. Went in. When they entered the lobby, they saw dust everywhere. Yaqi couldn't sit down. The two people hurriedly asked for someone to clean it. Yaqi stopped them in a hurry and asked them: "What are you two called? What's your future?" The taller one said: "Xiaoguan Liu Zhigao is the eighth-rank county magistrate." The shorter one next to him said: "The lower official Gao Yusong is the eighth-rank county magistrate." "Then they are all court officials. Yaqi said with a smile. "Don't dare. We are all low-ranking officials." "Okay, let's come. If you have something to do, I won't say more. Let's ask Mayor Lin to tell you." So Lin Zhiming told them what he meant. Let them act immediately and issue a notice to recruit men between the ages of 18 and 35. And explain to them that they will start recording their work achievements from now on if their work performance is outstanding. Then who will own this lobby from now on? In other words, whoever does a good job will be the county magistrate and a guard will be left here to take charge of recruiting workers. After telling them about their love story, Lin Zhiming asked them: "Did you all understand? This is a good opportunity for you. You must seize it and strive to become the county magistrate. You will not suffer any loss when you become the county magistrate under me." " When Liu Zhigao and Gao Yusong heard that there was such a good thing, they immediately replied happily: "We understand that we will start working." Lin Zhiming added: "But there is one thing that will start from today. Then you must put the people's affairs first. If the people are dissatisfied with you, you will be the one to look after you." Yaqi said to them again: "I have something to say first: whose left hand is corrupt. If you get money, chop off your left hand and right hand. If you get money, chop off the right hand. If you only want to embezzle, you will have to dig out your heart." Lin Shengxing added: "Don't take it seriously. No matter how big the official is, I will chop off his head. Don't talk about the little county magistrate." Yaqi and the others left. Liu Zhigao and Gao Yusong were really frightened by them just now. How dare you kill me? I will really take it seriously after seeing this. It was no longer possible to make do with things after doing it for a while, so they immediately took action to make a good impression on Shangguan. Yaqi and the others had to go to Lijin County tomorrow. It was not until evening that they returned to Dongying. Lin Zhiming got off the car and went to work on his own business halfway, and Yaqi reported what happened to Li Zhenhua. Seeing his woman running hard all day, Li Zhenhua was very moved and asked Yaqi to lean on the bed and tell him about today's situation. Li Zhenhua was very happy after hearing this. As long as those officials can actively cooperate, the problem will not be big. Sure enough, the next day, newly recruited workers from Guangrao and Lijin counties arrived. Liu Zhigao even came in person. Lin Zhiming praised him and asked him to go back and continue working hard to become the county magistrate. He brought him Li Zhenhua felt a little relieved because they were all young and strong northern men. The logistics department specially sent people to two counties and sent some silver coins there. They gave some funds to the county magistrates and asked them to give them to the families of those who had already come. The children in the rural areas are having a hard time at home. Now they are starting to do it themselves. When you earn wages, give some to your family first. Their behavior created a live advertisement for job recruitment in the future, and more people came. There were even some women outside this age group who wanted to work. But when Lin Zhiming saw that most of them were women with small feet, he let him go. They all went back, but some young women whose feet were not bound were left behind. The logistics department strictly checked and selected some of them who were in particularly good health to stay in the logistics department, and the others were mobilized to go back. Now there are mainly a few tasks that are top priorities. First of all?The entire oil industry cannot be stopped and oil wells must be drilled before freezing. The second problem of cold protection is that the house needs to speed up the construction of new buildings. The southerners will not be able to bear the cold weather. The second is that a large number of cotton-padded clothes for the troops must be prepared in advance. The third is to be prepared to rush for seeds. A batch of winter wheat is prepared for the rations used by northerners next year. Finally, urban construction must have a unified plan and be planned in advance. Don¡¯t be like later generations who built a house today and demolished it tomorrow. That kind of thing is a waste of people and money. That is absolutely not allowed. But now I There are no real talents in urban management here, so let everyone plan together first. Then we must highlight one point first. As long as there are no personal selfish distractions, other tasks will not be too difficult. Road traffic problems are determined on the map first, then the places where people work, and then the residential areas, commercial areas, schools, hospitals, etc. for residents. The total population of several small villages near Dongying is only a few thousand people. Li Zhenhua asked Lin Zhiming to organize them, and all the land will be returned to the public. From now on, their income will be settled in silver dollars. In addition, their houses will be demolished in the future, and they will be given away this year. Some of the houses were rented to those people by the officers and soldiers from the south. After the houses were valued and compensated, they were given new houses so that they had no objection at all. Since it was already autumn, the troops immediately rushed to level the three thousand acres of land and plant winter wheat. There were not so many animals to pull the plows, so they had to let the horses go into battle. If that didn't work, they would just use people to pull the plows. Next year, there would be the first quarter of income. In the future, there will be many soldiers and workers in the north. They are not used to eating rice for a while, so they will need to grow more wheat and grind it into white flour so that they can eat northern steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings and other pasta. Next year we will also find ways to introduce some improved rice varieties. Most southerners want to eat rice. After visiting the local people, Lin Zhiming learned that there is no other food here in winter but Chinese cabbage and radishes. He had already organized people to plant Chinese cabbage and radishes on more than 200 acres of land. He also bought some piglets from the people and arranged for them. Although they won¡¯t be able to eat until the new year, they will be able to eat meat in the future. At the same time, they told the local people that they should raise more vegetables and pigs in the future and send them to Dongying in large quantities. They would do it at a price higher than the market price. acquisition. Dear readers, "The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty" will be on the shelves starting from today.

Text Chapter 120 The world¡¯s earliest female traffic policeman Chapter 120 The World¡¯s First Female Traffic Police Lin Zhiming completed the planning of Dongying City with the help of designers. Immediately they started large-scale construction in Dongying. On that planning sketch, the north-south road was used as a standard to build refineries, power plants, farms, schools, military camps, banks, shops, post offices, telegraph rooms, etc. on both sides of the road. In addition, there were roads, parks, Theater etc. At this time, the drilling team invited from the United States also arrived. Their equipment began to enter the areas that had been explored. The foreigners simply did not agree with drilling wells here, thinking that it would not work without passing their exploration. But Lin Zhiming said to them that this was We have already explored it ourselves, so you just need to drill. So the foreigners had no choice but to agree. The tall derrick was erected. After some preparations, the large diesel engine started to spin. Many Chinese workers also joined the drilling team. These first generation drillers in China are all ingenious and good at learning. They have to learn drilling techniques from the foreigners. At first, the Americans looked down on the Chinese workers, but soon they discovered that these Chinese were very capable. It is amazing to learn something very quickly. If they don¡¯t understand, they just ask and quickly master the well-drilling technology. The actions of Chinese workers won the admiration of American workers. After two months of hard work, the first oil well in Dongying was finally built by Chinese and American workers. Beat it. After testing, it was found that the pressure underground was very high. As soon as the cannon was fired, black crude oil spurted out. Finally, everyone present cheered. Although some of them did not know what the use of this black oil was, their superiors said it was useful. It won't be useless. Soon the crude oil was delivered to the storage tanks of the refinery under construction. Mayor Lin Zhiming, the director of the refinery, and the engineers focused there. The first set of refining equipment was started. After more than a day of heating, steam appeared in the condenser. Soon the gasoline came out, and the diesel came out as well. Even the heavy oil and refined oil are put into their own storage tanks, and the remaining residual oil is sent to the port to become fuel for marine high-horsepower boilers. At this time, people understood that this oil turned out to be a good thing. There was no waste in it, and even the last dregs were good fuel. Starting from the second oil well, the original foreign drilling team was divided into two parts, plus some of our own original workers. These are two drilling teams. Next year, our own drilling team will be established. Now they are all apprentices, and next year they will all be Master. A new batch of equipment was imported at the port. Johnson, who was in the United States, was struggling. The boss's instructions must be carried out unconditionally, including drilling rigs, oil refining, catalysis and other machinery. At the same time, the skilled workers also arrived. Soon they entered their construction site. Now the division of labor between Li Zhenhua and Lin Zhiming is very clear. Lin Zhiming is responsible for handling various things at home. Li Zhenhua runs downstairs every day. Yaqi has become his full-time driver and secretary. Together, they go downstairs to learn about the situation in various places and industries. If they find problems, they will solve them immediately. If it can be solved at the scene where the decision is made, if it fails, Lin Zhiming will make the overall arrangements. It turned out that most of the cars and some trucks of senior cadres were lying around due to lack of fuel oil. Now that there is oil, it is much better. The cars are all running. The efficiency of the leaders' work and transportation has quickly improved a lot. As soon as Dongying's airs were spread, a large number of workers were recruited in places such as Shandong and Zhili. At the same time, recruitment work was also carried out. However, those who recruited soldiers in one place chose their own people. Those who recruited workers were also selecting suitable talents. Those men from Hebei and Shandong came in large numbers from their own land and became workers and soldiers. After arriving, they did nothing but received short-term training. Later, they will learn knowledge about the petroleum industry, including exploration, drilling, Processes in oil production, transportation, refining, chemical industry, etc. After two weeks of crash training, they will know nothing when they go to work. If you don¡¯t have the opportunity to study for a long time, learning by doing will make the whole job a quick one. The recruited recruits also entered the army immediately, but they also studied first, but it didn't take long. They soon joined various construction armies. The highways from Dongying to Weihai and Dongying to Cangzhou also started construction. It is an army of 20,000 people and it is on the plains. Their progress is very fast. They will complete the roadbed this fall to ensure that cars can pass. By next summer, China's first asphalt roads will appear. Then the road will be moved north. Direct connections to Tianjin and Beijing. At that time, troops can be quickly mobilized to Beijing, Tianjin, and Weihai with Dongying as the center. Due to the increase in vehicles, problems on the road have arisen. Traffic jams often occur at intersections, so a new job appears in front of people, that is, the traffic police. Because the male workers are more nervous, some girls stand at the intersection. They are Wearing a white top, blue pants and a big hat on her headIn the hat's hand is a half-and-half red and white wooden stick. When the wooden stick in their hands is vertically erected facing forward, all the vehicles on that side will stop. When the wooden stick in their hands is facing forward, then all the vehicles on that side will be able to stop. Passed. For those vehicles that disobey instructions, the girls patiently educate them and explain the dangers of disobeying traffic management. But even if you violate traffic regulations, they are educating them and they will not fine you. Unlike those units in later generations, which even specially A "fines law" has been introduced to indicate the rationality of fines, which is simply a disguised way of taking money from people's pockets. No officials will take the money at all, and only the common people are the unlucky ones. There are no good roads in the city now. They are all paved with a layer of cinders or ashes. If it rains and is not stained with muddy water, it is considered a good road. But on a sunny day, it is very dusty, which makes the girls suffer a lot. The two bosses couldn't bear it, but they couldn't do without this job, so Yaqi Gege went to them to express condolences. When they knew that Gege had come to express condolences to her, the girls lined up neatly to welcome Yaqi, which made Yaqi very touched. She brought the mayor's commendations to them and some condolences to the girls, which made the girls I am very grateful to the leaders for their care.

Text Chapter 121 Beautiful and capable female driver Whenever Li Zhenhua sees those female traffic policemen, he thinks that this is a beautiful sight. In the future, they will appear all over the country. Now he can suggest that Fangcheng do something about it. Since there are relatively few vehicles in Fangcheng, the situation on the road is better now. There are not as many freight trucks from the petroleum industry as there are in Dongying. . Yaqi originally liked horse riding and now she likes cars again. After a few days of patient guidance from Li Zhenhua, she quickly became able to drive a car decently. From then on, she started driving around with Li Zhenhua every day. Her current driving Under the careful cultivation of Li Zhenhua, her skills are already the best except for her teachers. She can drive not only small cars but also large trucks. The reason is the same. On this day, another large cargo ship entered the dock at the seaside port. Now cargo ships come in every day, bringing in various petroleum industry machinery and equipment, weapons and food from all over the world, as well as various self-produced cars, Food, cotton clothes, etc. Today, the cargo ship docked at the port. Parked on it were all freight trucks for transportation. A group of drivers were already waiting there. Once the long springboard was placed, the drivers hurriedly walked up. A young and beautiful female driver was wearing ordinary work clothes. Her dark hair was tied up with a belt and a worker's hat. She got into a car ahead of others. Others were still looking at the car and how to get out. She had already clicked. The truck was on fire. It flexibly turned and turned around on the boat and then drove off smoothly. Her skills impressed the male drivers. She drove the car to the parking lot a mile away and saw her trotting back to the boat and getting on again. After getting into a car and waiting for other cars to get off, she got out skillfully. When she arrived at the parking lot, she saw about ten drivers walking back. She turned the car around and shouted to the drivers: "Hurry! Masters!" Get in the car quickly." So a group of drivers got in the car. Everyone admired the female driver for her skills. One driver asked: "How do you do this, sir?" The female driver smiled and replied: "My surname is Li." Without any extra words, she drove the car quickly to the gangplank of the cargo ship and asked the drivers to get off the ship. Then she drove the car back to the parking lot. The same job was being unloaded much faster today than usual. Since everyone's salary is monthly salary plus piecework, in the evening Director Zhang Xiaoguang, the person in charge of the cargo yard, was doing statistics and asked Captain Yang Erhei, the person in charge of unloading, why it was so much faster than usual today. Captain Yang said: "It's nothing. I just don't know where you hired a female chef named Li. She saved our driver a lot of travel. And everyone is afraid of being outclassed by that female driver, so today we It¡¯s much faster.¡± When Director Zhang heard something was wrong, he immediately said, ¡°We don¡¯t have female drivers here. You must have made a mistake.¡± Captain Yang was also puzzled: ¡°Director, you¡¯re not from here anyway. Check it out and be careful not to make any mistakes. " Having no idea who it was, the two hurriedly went to the guard to check. They found that only the general's wife Li Yaqi had come and no one else had come. They thought it might be the general's wife, the golden princess. There are really not many other women who know how to drive a car. This Yaqi really has to go home earlier because her traditional concept is to serve her husband first and then put other things later. When sister Wang Xin comes, she will also The husband who told her to take good care of them would not be able to do it if she lost a little weight. Yaqi returned to the simple house where she lived. The construction troops who came now live in this kind of simple house. Although some new houses have been built, her husband has no intention of moving yet. Yaqi doesn't care, no matter what, as long as she and No matter what happens with my husband, this girl of Manchu and Mongolian descent has never regarded herself as a golden person. She just regards herself as an ordinary woman. She has to fulfill her responsibility as a daughter-in-law, which is to take good care of her husband. . But since arriving here, Li Zhenhua has not had a good rest. He has already lost a lot of weight. Just because he is in good health. If he were like the princes and nobles he came into contact with, he would have fallen down from fatigue long ago because he is tired every day. Yaqi felt very distressed. Yaqi washed her hands and face and started to cook for Li Zhenhua. Usually they didn't eat much at home. Most of the time they ate with everyone in the kitchen. Life there was okay, but Yaqi always felt that the food she cooked was not as delicious as her own. Li Zhenhua never said anything about himself. It didn't taste good, but judging from his expression, he should be satisfied. Yaqi feels that she is a very happy husband who loves her very much and always takes care of her like a child. Many times she feels that Li Zhenhua is like her father and brother. He takes care of her in life and cares about her at work. Yaqi learns from him. I feel that I have learned a lot of things, whether it is driving, shooting, or corporate and commercial management. He knows everything. Even the horse riding and archery that I am best at, he is not inferior to me. Even needlework, he is faster than me. It seems so. He is not as good at embroideringIt's my own. Thinking of the sisters he knew, they lost their freedom as soon as they married into their husband's family. They became their husband's appendages. Countless rules and regulations restricted them, but he could do almost anything he wanted. He never restricted himself, but that was the only time he was there. On the warship, he sternly ordered himself to go down to the cabin, but he was protecting himself because he was afraid of getting hurt. If he was injured, he would have to serve him. The last time he was bitten by a poisonous snake, if he hadn't been bitten by a poisonous snake, he might have been dead long ago. . When I wrote a letter to tell my sisters about these situations, they were all moved to tears and they all envied me very much. The sisters all said they wanted to come and see them. When she mentioned this to her husband, Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "When we finish building this place, any of them is willing to come and let them have a good look at our new Dongying." Yaqi thought about it and made him the sweet and sour fish that he likes to eat the most and is his best specialty today. There are a lot of fish here. There are wetlands everywhere and countless puddles and depressions. There are a lot of fish in them. This is a great opportunity for these construction troops Good side food provided. There was the sound of a car outside the door. Li Zhenhua came back. Yaqi wiped her hands with a rag and rushed to the door and opened it for Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua stepped in. Yaqi hugged Li Zhenhua's neck with both hands. Li Zhenhua kissed her and scratched her. Yaqi's nose said: Text Chapter 122 Designing a new brick kiln "What delicious food did the little girl cook for me today?" "You asked me to ignore you again, little girl." Yaqi lightly hit Li Zhenhua's body with her hand and then said with a smile: "You I don¡¯t know how to smell it myself.¡± Li Zhenhua sniffed it exaggeratedly: ¡°It smells so good. It must be my favorite sweet and sour fish. I know it¡¯s my wife who loves me the most.¡± Yaqi gently circled it with her little hand. She said to Li Zhenhua: "I just made sure that you will come back today at the right time." Yaqi hurriedly gave him water and asked Li Zhenhua to wash his face. Then he arranged the seats and the couple started to eat. Just as they were about to eat, they heard a knock on the door. : "Look," Yaqi said, "Here comes the talker again." She hurriedly opened the door. It turned out that Mayor Lin Zhiming was here. Yaqi hurriedly brought a stool and a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and also put a bottle of wine on the table. It turned out that Li Zhenhua never drank wine when he was alone at home, but when guests came, he would always give it to him. It's up to the guests to do whatever they want. Anyway, there will be wine and food, so it's up to you to drink or not. Lin Zhiming came to Li Zhenhua for eight or nine days. Because they sometimes couldn't see each other, they had to spend time together at night to discuss the situation. Besides, Lin Zhiming was a bachelor and had no family, so he regarded Li Zhenhua's house as his own home anyway. There is no distinction between big and small mouths. It¡¯s my sister-in-law. Although Yaqi is a girl, she doesn¡¯t have any style, and her cooking skills are really good. It turns out that being able to serve the prince well shows her skills. Once something comes to her It no longer tastes the same in my hands. Lin Zhiming sat down and started eating without being polite. Li Zhenhua asked, "You don't want to have a drink either?" "I haven't eaten since the morning and now I don't dare drink on an empty stomach. I'll save it for next time." Lin Zhiming is from Cantonese. He loves to eat rice, especially rice and fish. Today, he had three big bowls of rice and Yaqi was only half full. After the meal, the two of them drank tea. Lin Zhiming began to talk to Li Zhenhua about work matters. After Yaqi finished cleaning up, she also sat down. Yaqi likes to live their two-person life with Li Zhenhua. She has already treated her two personal maids Yuxiang. He and Yuxiu were sent to study two maids who were good at martial arts. They planned to go to the army in the future. Yaqi agreed and let them go to the military academy. Now that she does everything by herself, she doesn¡¯t feel anything wrong. Instead, she feels very happy. After finishing the meal, she came to listen to the two of them talking about work. Lin Zhiming came today mainly because of a problem. It is already October and the weather is getting colder. So many workers are still living in simple houses, and some still live in tents. The so-called simple houses are in the north. It's called "dry base building", which means you use a wooden frame with a mud blank one and a half feet long and one foot thick and two and a half inches thick, mix the mud, then put the mud in and wait for it to dry before using it to build a house. There are many such houses in every unit. Anyway, everyone lives in collective work sheds with earthen kangs. Northerners have the method of northerners. They can also use fire to burn the kangs below, and the tops of the kangs are always gentle. This is how rural people used to spend the winter. A long line of dozens of brick kilns has been built in the infrastructure area. The brick kilns in the past were different from the current ones. First, bricks were used to build a straight barrel-shaped thing about six or seven meters high and four meters in diameter on the outside, leaving a doorway on all sides. Pile up the soil, then stack the bricks inside, leave the fire holes, seal them with soil, and then start burning the bricks with fire. When the bricks are burned, smooth the top of the brick kiln with mud, and then press water on top for three or four days. Later, the bricks were fired, but the blue bricks of the old days were not the red bricks commonly used today. In this way, one kiln can produce about 40,000 bricks. Although the construction period is longer, the quality is good. But such a long construction period is not feasible. Li Zhenhua himself had never worked in this industry in his previous life, but he had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs running. He found some workers and technicians to discuss together, and they built a modern brick and tile factory. A tall chimney was erected, and dozens of cave entrances were built on both sides. Each entrance could produce 40,000 bricks at a time, and one circle could produce 1.5 million bricks. This greatly accelerated the production of bricks. With the bricks, a large amount of cement and construction steel were transported from Fangcheng. A large number of construction workers came up. First, a two-story building appeared. Later, a large number of workers' houses also began to be constructed. It turns out that according to the regulations, the work will be stopped at the end of November, but this year it has not snowed and it has not been too cold. Li Zhenhua asked everyone to be flexible and continue the construction as long as it does not freeze. Once it freezes, it will stop immediately and the quality cannot be affected because the cement is afraid of Frozen. So now more than a dozen buildings have been built, but the staff behind them are tight. One is doors and windows, and the other is simple decoration. It is cold here in winter, and heating issues must be taken into consideration. In a word, there are still too few workers. Li Zhenhua clicked? Said: "This is a problem. It turns out that these are not problems for us in the south. Now we have to consider these things." "The old method still doesn't have enough manpower for soldiers to come together." Li Zhenhua took a sip of water and said, "It's getting colder and we need to build roads." We have to stop now and find people who have worked as carpenters among the troops and workers. We are also looking for specialized carpenters from two counties to make doors and windows together and be responsible for the installation. Find some smart people and let them learn the work of installing heating projects immediately. " "The construction of buildings cannot be stopped. As long as it doesn't freeze, we can continue the construction. If we can build one more building, we can arrange a lot of workers for each building. Then we should step up interior decoration as much as possible so that people can have a good environment to spend the winter. Originally, people can survive the winter without heating, but We can't let them do that in the future. If possible, they must live in a house with heating, not just a fire bed. " "In the future, when arranging housing, technicians will be arranged first, then workers, first southerners, then northerners, first foreigners, and then ourselves. People with family members will live first, then live in the military, and then live in the army." Li Zhenhua said so many problems in one breath, and Lin Zhiming said: "It's pretty much what I thought, and your house is ready. You can move when you have time that day." "No, Yaqi is from the north." "Then you're not from the south?" "No, I'm not afraid of the cold (he's not from the south). What you don't have." Li Zhenhua patted the tiger skin with his hand and said, "Add another line for the grassroots workers to check in first and then the cadres." Text Chapter 123 The Emperor¡¯s Imperial Meeting Lin Zhiming had no choice but to agree. Just as he was about to leave, Li Zhenhua added: "In addition, you also need to consider one thing, that is, the sea water here may freeze in winter. Transport everything that should be brought in, otherwise the sea water will freeze." We'll have to work hard if it's freezing. " "What?" Yaqi was surprised: "Will the sea water be freezing?" Lin Zhiming's eyes widened. "Yes, the Bohai Sea should have ice every year, but Weihai won't freeze. It's really not possible to carry any more goods. Just some necessary things can go to the military port in Weihai. The Beiyang Navy will support us." No matter what, the boss's words will always be If it's right, just implement it seriously. After Lin Zhiming returned, Li Zhenhua had to go outside to see Yaqi and found him a cotton coat for him to wear. Li Zhenhua said to her: "You also have to remember to ask Fangcheng to prepare some leather and cotton coats." The size should be larger. People in the north are taller. Don¡¯t wait until you can¡¯t wear it. Then it will be broken. If not, just make a large, medium and small size so that everyone can fit it. " "Don't worry, I will. Remember, you can¡¯t go wrong.¡± After the renovation of the houses one by one, most of the workers began to move in. They arrived in their new dormitories. There were eight people in each dormitory. Everything they looked around made people feel fresh and white. Each dormitory has a light bulb with bright walls and bright windows. The light turns on when you pull it with your hand. There are two public toilets on each floor. The water pipes are twisted with your hand and water flows out. The farmers in the north had never seen this before. Each of them had tears in their eyes. They all secretly made up their minds to work hard to repay those who cared for them. They hurriedly reported everything here to their families. In the Imperial Palace of Japan, Emperor Meiji of Japan is summoning his Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and Chief of Staff Headquarters Aritomo Omanyama, Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu. At the same time, Commander of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet Ito Yuhiro is also present. Invading and defeating China is Japan¡¯s established national policy in modern times. As early as 1855, Japan's reformist politician Yoshida Matsui Yoko advocated: "Once the warships and cannons are slightly strengthened, it will be easier to open up Ezo. Xiao Yu said that the Ryukyu envoys would join the pilgrims to blame the Korean envoys for paying tribute, cutting off the land of southern Manchuria, and taking over Taiwan, The island of Luzon occupies the entire China and dominates India." This idea of ??Yoshida had a profound influence on his disciples who later became Japanese politicians (Prime Minister Ito Hakata), Yamagata Aritomo (President of the Senate) and others. The mainstream thoughts of Japanese politicians during the period. In the early days of the Meiji Restoration, Japan established its own mainland policy. Minister Tanaka Giichi shouted crazily in the infamous "Tanaka Memorial": "The Meiji Emperor's legacy is to conquer Taiwan in the first phase, conquer Korea in the second phase, and conquer Manchuria in the third phase. Conquering China in the fourth phase and conquering the world in the fifth phase, we must unswervingly carry out the above strategies. "If these discussions were just a "blueprint" at the time, they became very concrete in 7 years. The Japanese government formulated the "Qing Expedition Strategy" and decided to complete the preparations for the war against China before 1892. The direction of the attack was Korea, the Liaodong Peninsula, the Shandong Peninsula, the Penghu Islands, Taiwan, and the Zhoushan Islands. Seven years later, Japan launched a war of aggression in accordance with this timetable and road map and achieved almost all its goals. Japan has consistently implemented the above-mentioned national policies and made full preparations in all aspects over the past few decades and has implemented "Army Expansion Registration" eight times. In the years before the Sino-Japanese War, the average annual military expenditure was as high as 31% of total annual revenue. In 2007, the emperor ordered that 300,000 yuan be squeezed out of the royal family's funds as naval subsidies. Although this amount of money is not a lot, it expresses the determination of Japan's supreme ruler and is bound to have a great incentive for the whole country. Sure enough, under the inspiration of the emperor, wealthy people all over the country donated more than 1 million yuan a year. This not only increased the cost of the army, but also greatly boosted the morale of the people. While Japan was frantically expanding its military, it also sent a large number of spies to operate in China and North Korea. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan drew detailed maps of every hill and every road in North Korea and my country's Liaodong Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula and the Bohai Sea. Japan is like a well-made war machine that is constantly running. Once the time is right, Japan will not hesitate to resort to force. In contrast, the Qing government's judgment of the national security situation was very inadequate, and it lacked due foresight and vigilance against aggression. Some insightful people, such as Governor Shen Baozhen of Liangjiang, Governor Liu Mingchuan of Taiwan, and others, saw that "Japanese people should not be looked down upon." However, the understanding of Japan by the imperial court and most political leaders was still at the stage of "a small country" and "they did not care about Japanese people." . At the critical juncture when Japan devoted all its efforts to expand its armaments and the danger of war was approaching, the Qing government instead relaxed its national defense construction and cut its military budget on the grounds of financial constraints. It stopped purchasing warships in 1891 and stopped allocating funds for equipment and ammunition to the navy in 1891. The purpose of the Japanese Emperor¡¯s summons today was to ask his ministers about their preparations for the Qing war. Ito Hirobumi knelt there and asked those sitting on the throne.The emperor lowered his head and began to say: "Your Majesty, after ten years of preparation, we now have the conditions for a war with the Qing Dynasty. The six standing divisions of the army are all ready. As for the navy, our combined fleet has also undergone arduous training. It has become a powerful fleet. Preparations on all other fronts are being carried out as planned and we have basically achieved the goals we originally set. But" He paused and did not continue. He just glanced at the commander of the combined naval fleet. The emperor saw that he looked wrong and immediately asked the commander of the Combined Fleet, Yuhiro Ito: "Is there anything new?" The commander of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, Yuhiro Ito, immediately bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is like this Our two warships, the "Matsushima" and the "itsukushima", were performing normal patrol missions in the Yellow Sea, but they suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. "Speaking of this, Ito's face looked very ugly. A friend from Yamagata asked: "Is there such a thing?" "Yes" Ito replied: "We have searched in many ways but did not get any useful information." The emperor said dissatisfied: "Isn't this a weird thing? Could it be that they will go to heaven or enter the sea?" The emperor was very smart and guessed right away that they would indeed enter the sea. "It's just that fishermen in various places have found the bodies of some navy soldiers. Our sailors' autopsy personnel have seen it. After examination, they determined that some soldiers were burned to death by fire, some were shot to death, and some soldiers were shot. Killed by a cannon," Ito added. After hearing Ito Yuheng¡¯s words, the scene immediately turned cold and no one was talking. If you don't talk casually, it will be very detrimental to your career if you make the emperor unhappy. At this time, the emperor was also scolding the group of idiots under his command. If I didn't ask you, you wouldn't tell me. He stared hard at the commander of the combined fleet, Ito Yuhiro. Text Chapter 124 I had to suffer the loss of being dumb Dear readers, I can finally upload today. I will upload three chapters today to thank you for your support. Special thanks to my friend for the 588 starting coins. ) The situation cannot keep getting colder. The Emperor of Japan asked a few of his men to analyze it carefully. The first thing they should suspect is of course their current imaginary enemy, the navy of the Qing Dynasty. But at this time, their main force is all in Lushun. It is impossible for them to come to the Yellow Sea. It will not be easy to sink these two warships when the main force is all here. The rapid-fire cannons on your own warships cannot take advantage of the Qing Dynasty's warships. Unless all their main warships are present, that is possible. But besides, when our warships saw the two "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" class battleships, they had already run away. Why did they still wait there to be beaten? What they didn't know was that the Fengcheng Navy was defeated by the United States at the beginning. flag, otherwise they would not rush up to die when they see warships larger than themselves. Besides, the artillery fire of the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty could not cause such a fire. The already outdated black gunpowder would not cause such a fire. The fact that they were burned to death eliminated them, so the other possibility was the Russian Navy. They are the only ones who are likely to do such a thing. They have never dealt with Japan. But international exchanges are all about evidence. If you don¡¯t have evidence, it can only be speculative. This cannot be put on the table. Several people began to study whether Russia's attitude should be taken into consideration when using troops against China. Yamagata Aritomo said: "I don't think it should be considered because Russia and our views are consistent in their attitude towards the Qing Dynasty. They also have great ambitions towards the Qing Dynasty. Although their land is very large, they do not have a natural port. They We have always wanted to get an ice-free port from the Qing Dynasty. If we exchange opinions with them, they will work with us to deal with the Qing Dynasty. "They all know that Russia is an ambitious country. If they can deal with the Qing Dynasty alone. It¡¯s best not to let Russia get involved. If they get involved, they will get a big piece of the cake. So it¡¯s better to go and eat alone, and others will not be as happy as you. This is the Japanese way of thinking. . The final result of their research was to prevent the Russians from getting involved. But if they lost two warships, they would have to replenish them as soon as possible. Otherwise, the strength of the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Navy would not have the upper hand, and they might not be able to defeat them and make themselves unable to defeat them. Years of preparation were wasted. The Emperor concluded: "We must continue to investigate the matter of these two warships. No matter who did it, we must ask them to pay us double compensation. Intelligence agents in Lucia (Russia) and China must step up their activities and must find out." As a result. In addition, we will immediately purchase two more similar warships from the United Kingdom. Now that our finances are too tight, we can use our annual fiscal revenue as collateral to continue borrowing from the British government. Whether we buy or build them, they must be within one year. Let them add two more warships to us to ensure our navy¡¯s maritime superiority over the Qing Dynasty¡¯s Beiyang Navy.¡± Ito Hirobumi said: ¡°One more thing is that there is a businessman named Li Zhenhua in the south of the Qing Dynasty. I heard that he is very experienced. It's so bad that he used some ragtag militia to defeat the land powers of Europe. The weapons and equipment are better than the Qing army. This has to make us be more vigilant. " "Yes" Shanxian Youpeng continued: "I have heard about it too. This man is very dissatisfied with their government. The government even appointed him as the general of Yunnan. What does this mean? " "Can we win over him?" Emperor Meiji asked innocently. "I'm afraid it's hard to say, but I heard that he was a Yunnan general who loved money. He could have done it wrong, but he took the money he was given." Ito Hirobumi said. Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu immediately said: "Since he likes money so much, we may succeed in getting someone to contact him secretly. If he can serve our Empire of Japan, it will be of great benefit to us." "Order Our intelligence personnel in China should pay more attention to this person in the future and contact him when appropriate. If he does not agree to cooperate with us, then let him disappear from the world. If he can, the other Manchu government officials will be of no use. Joining our intelligence organization can give him a big official title, and giving him some more money will allow him to control all our activities in the Qing Dynasty." The emperor patted a maid in kimono twice and walked into the meeting. She walked very slowly in the hall with small steps. Holding a plate in her hand, she came to the side of the emperor, knelt down and bowed to the emperor, then handed the plate in his hand to the emperor. The emperor took the tray and said to him in an extremely slow tone. Combined Fleet Commander Ito Yuhiro said: "These are some pieces of jewelry belonging to the Queen. She donated them to our navy. Please accept them, Ito-kun." Combined Fleet Commander Ito Yuhiro hurriedly knelt forward and took two steps. skyThe emperor took the tray in his hand and his eyes were blurred with tears. The lady said to Ito Yuheng at the same time: "The Queen has said all this, please leave it to Ito-kun." Ito Yuheng only said two words: "Haha!" The Japanese Emperor's imperial meeting ended, but all their situations were soon known to Li Zhenhua's intelligence personnel. The information was quickly transferred to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua smiled at Yaqi and said: "It seems that the Japanese have to suffer a dumb loss and let them continue to build new warships. How many of us have followed." Li Zhenhua laughed loudly. He laughed: "I am still a vanilla bag in the hands of the Japanese. Let's see what benefits they will give me. If not, just kill them. I am short of money here." The sky turned cloudy and the northeast wind blew very hard from the east. Dongying finally received its first heavy snow, blowing from the sea above and bringing a lot of dark clouds. The heavy snow has not stopped falling all night, and the entire earth is white. The construction sites and road construction outside have stopped. The usually lively scenes seem a bit deserted today. People have moved indoors to work. Li Zhenhua and Lin Zhiming stood on a high ground together, next to their horses and a dozen guards. "The scenery of the North is thousands of miles covered with ice and snow" Li Zhenhua couldn't help singing the song "Qinyuan Spring? Snow". Lin Zhiming looked at Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua was stunned and stopped singing. Lin Zhiming said: "It sounds very good, why don't you sing it?" "Li Zhenhua didn't say anything for a moment. He asked the guards for the telescope and said in his heart: "It's so careless that even the works of future generations are exposed." Outdoor road construction and construction work basically stopped. After coming down, all the workers started to work on their houses. The work outside was in progress. The work outside was stopped. The work inside was going on nervously. The building had been built. The main task was to install the doors and windows. The doors and windows were finished. The wires were pulled up and the lights were installed. The house was whitewashed. After the heating is turned on, as the buildings are completed one after another, although there is still some humidity, it is much better than those simple houses. Besides, with the heating turned on, people will not feel damp as people move in one after another. Try to arrange as many people as possible to live in one room. Although eight people are a little crowded, it is better than living outside. With the arrival of the transport ship carrying cotton-padded clothes, Wang Xin sent a letter to Li Zhenhua. Although they could communicate by telegraph, she was still willing to express her feelings for Li Zhenhua in letters. The letter stated her longing for Li Zhenhua. Mainly talking about things at work. Commercial trade in Nanyang is now going very smoothly, including some marketable products such as traditional exports of silk, tea, porcelain, lacquerware, etc., as well as some new daily necessities such as matches, Kerosene, gasoline, and even some ironware have become major export commodities. In addition, each country has its own commercial outlets, so instead of using fleets to do sales, they can just transport it to the place and hand it over to their own commercial outlets. Now, the fleets are fully engaged in transportation, loading and unloading, and they all have their own dedicated The work efficiency of manpower has been greatly improved, and the current sailing time is only one-half to one-third of the original time. Foreign trade alone has generated tens of millions of taels in revenue. Nowadays, some people in China are willing to go to Nanyang to do business, and some people go to Nanyang to visit relatives. They all go there on their own merchant ships. Now their goods are also transported by their own fleets, and the shipping tickets and cargo transportation are also very convenient. I made a lot of money myself. Text Chapter 125 "Three-Inch Golden Lotus" is not welcome here Since there are obviously fewer warships escorting in the South China Sea, they have recruited some pirate teams who have sincerely surrendered to them and let them participate in the escort work. In addition, they have also modified some merchant ships so that their merchant ships have certain capabilities to deal with pirates' increased efforts on the ships. Several French 37mm rapid-fire cannons and Maxim heavy machine guns were installed, as well as rifles in the hands of the crew. Due to the strong firepower of their own fleet, the pirates now ran far away as soon as they saw the high-flying dragon flag. There are no coal mines near Dongying. Recently, it has to be transported to Yanzhou, Shandong. Li Zhenhua had discussed with the technical staff a long time ago and decided to use crude oil and residual oil as fuel to generate electricity. Although such a power plant is smaller, the second phase of the expansion project is also This electricity problem will be solved after the second phase of the project is completed. Now it is only possible to ensure that people use electricity for lighting at night, but those who are engaged in technology must ensure that their electricity is used to ensure that there are no problems with their heating. The second phase of the power plant will not be completed until next year. Now the remaining heat energy from power generation has been fully utilized and the heat is transported to the dormitories of all employees in the office through numerous pipes, so that people no longer have to suffer from the severe cold in winter. Li Zhenhua left Mayor Lin Zhiming and the builders in Dongying. He also arranged for some workers from the south to go back to the south. In this way, there were basically no people living in tents, only people living in simple houses. Not much more. All the problems of cold protection this winter have been solved. The army began their arduous adaptation training at this time. The purpose of letting them come to the north was not simply for construction, but mainly to enable them to adapt to the northern climate. Otherwise, they would encounter the Japanese army in Weihai and Liaodong areas in winter. The only one who suffers is ourselves. Every morning, as soon as the sun showed up, loud and clear bugles sounded one after another. The soldiers in the barracks hurriedly got up and quickly packed their clothes and weapons. Within a few minutes, they rushed out of their dormitories and came to the playground. They were in full uniform every day. During the five-kilometer emergency march, even the soldiers in the cooking squad had to take turns to go out for training. There is an armed cross-country march of fifteen kilometers every five days, and there is an armed cross-country march every ten days. The grassroots officers below the battalion commander are at the front of the team. Even Li Biao, a cadre at the division commander level, himself If you want to strengthen training, do you think even Li Biao has gone out and the other people will still be able to move? Li Zhenhua ran with the soldiers whenever he had time. Yaqi sometimes participated, but she was much less likely to do so because Li Zhenhua felt that there was no need for her to run like this, but it was still necessary for her to do the necessary exercise. After morning exercises, each unit brought the troops back for breakfast. After breakfast, each unit conducted training according to the conditions of its own unit. The soldiers touched, climbed, rolled, and fought in the snow. After a period of adaptation training, they will soon adapt to the harsh climate of the north. Just a little colder? Some northern soldiers who had already sent cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes and cotton hats to everyone in Fangcheng said: "I have never worn new clothes in my whole life. This time, they are brand new inside and out." Those soldiers and workers took the time to take photos of themselves, and sent the newly paid wages and photos back to their hometowns to their relatives. This was seen by everyone in the village, which made the girls in the village jealous. A handful. The little-footed matchmakers in the village have become very busy and have gone to the homes of those who went to Dongying to talk to the parents, relatives and friends of the children in Dongying. They often write home about new things they come across and often introduce their situation at work. Even their parents have begun to accept some new things. They don't know the current situation of their children. They just shirk the need to wait until the children come back to decide. It's hard to say that I have become an old man by myself. That's what I say, but I'm still happy in my heart. It turns out that my children have never been so happy. Now that I'm better, my status has improved as soon as I went to Dongying. ah. At this time, one thing is slowly entering people's world, that is, the women who work in Dongying do not have small feet. This suddenly makes those girls who are unwilling to bind their feet happy. In addition, the families of the workers and security guards say After you have your own child, you must have big feet when you get married, so in some places in Shandong and Zhili, girls are not willing to bind their feet anymore. It used to be that girls with big feet couldn't get married. Now it's reversed. Girls with small feet are hard to marry. . The men in the north are just like the soldiers in the south. They can also endure hardships and stand hard work. Not to mention that they have given people new cotton-padded clothes, but they still have to survive the winter without them. Not only those who are snipers, the quality of their clothes is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. They wear leather cotton coats, leather jackets, leather gloves, leather hats and leather boots. That's what they wear. Worth a lot of money. They have never been treated like thisUnexpectedly, they had already worked up a lot of energy in their hearts. In the subsequent training, each of them exerted all their enthusiasm. In the past few months, their changes have been very big. One is their shooting level. The second improvement is their concealment skills, which sometimes even professionals cannot detect at all. Even Li Zhenhua praised them highly. Under the leadership of those officers and non-commissioned officers, ordinary troops have become formal soldiers. They do not have formal military uniforms. They are all wearing camouflage uniforms. At first, people looked down on it, but later during training, people discovered the clothes. The advantage is that people can't find it at all if they are far away. It turned out that the formation drill was what they disliked the most. When they first entered the army, they couldn't even tell the difference between left and right. But they used every means to overcome their weaknesses. They made marks on their bodies to make it easy to distinguish. It turned out that they all had buttons on their clothes with big plackets. They also have hand-made knot loops, but now their clothes are all slit in the middle and have five buttons in the middle. An armed belt and bullet belt are slung across the left shoulder and all the way to the waist rifle on the right. They are all imitations produced by themselves in Fangcheng. German Mauser type, but Li Zhenhua has improved them. The magazine can hold five rounds of bullets, and there is a foldable bayonet on it. There is a grenade bag on the left side, which contains four grenades. There is also a steel helmet on the back. This is all the equipment of their infantry. Of course, if they are mortars, they are also responsible for carrying the small gun. The heavy machine gunner is four people, one shooter, one deputy shooter and two ammunition handlers. The ammunition hand must also carry a rifle. Now Dongying is a division. The division commander is Li Biao, who has been with Li Zhenhua since he fought against the French. He is the original guard captain. His job has now been handed over to a young man named Sun Feihu. This young man is already very skilled and experienced. After a lot of training by Li Zhenhua and Li Biao, even ten or eight people can't get in front of him. Chapter 2 is presented. Please support by clicking, collecting, monthly tickets and rewards. Text Chapter 126 Powerful Army Below the division are three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, and a baggage regiment. There are five regiments in total. Below the division are a guard company, a reconnaissance company, a communications company (all cavalry), a car company, and a division hospital. This division is basically complete. It is almost the same as the current division. The logistics support has been greatly improved. There are a large number of horse-drawn carriages in the baggage regiment, but more of them are cars. Those heavy-duty trucks have almost replaced the task of horse-drawn carriages. The infantry regiment is an elite group of more than 1,600 people using the 343 system. Below the battalion are three battalions. Below the battalion are three infantry companies. Below the company are three infantry platoons and a machine gun platoon. Below the infantry platoon are three squads. The infantry squad is Twelve people. Below the cannon platoon are three squads equipped with three heavy machine guns and six mortars. The artillery regiment is equipped with two battalions of 105mm long-range cannon and a 37mm cannon battalion. Each battalion has 24 guns and a battalion. They are responsible for the cars and horses that pull the cannon. Li Biao said to Li Zhenhua: "Commander, I plan to hold a big competition before the year to find out the top training experts in each unit to encourage them all." "Okay, this way everyone will be more motivated to train." Li Zhenhua He laughed when he heard it: "Get ready to mobilize the troops first to cheer everyone up, and then after the competition, praise the advanced units and individuals with great fanfare, and set up training pacesetters to reward the particularly outstanding ones." The bonus makes everyone feel that the role model is around us. "If such equipment is used in Asia, it will be invincible. There are few countries in the world that are our opponents." During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, Japan used their Second Army to land from Shandong and cut off the Beiyang Navy's retreat, causing Ding Ruchang and other outstanding naval generals to commit suicide. The Japanese army's equipment is not very strong, but their numbers are far greater than the hundreds of marines of the Beiyang Navy (the other Qing troops have all fled). In addition, the equipment of the marines of the Beiyang Navy has also been replaced with advanced rifles. The magazine can hold five rounds of bullets, which increases the shooting speed of the soldiers. If there is a fight in the future, their shooting speed will be very high. Much faster than the Japanese army. The mortars have not been equipped for them yet, mainly because they will have to go on warships in the future. Those things will not be of much use on warships. But Li Zhenhua was not lenient with their training, requiring them to carry out physical training and precise shooting training. Some of those veterans have become sharpshooters. The officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy saw that the soldiers did not have braids on their heads. Their movements were much easier, but they had a big braid trailing behind them. This was very annoying. If you engage in a physical game with the enemy, you must be careful. If the enemy grabs the braid on your head, it will be troublesome. You can't just let the enemy do whatever they want. This made the soldiers of the Beiyang Marine Corps extremely envious of those bald soldiers. Not only these but also their clothes are not good. They have a red helmet on their head and it is inconvenient for the enemy to find those wearing long robes and mandarin jackets at a distance. Because the court had issued an order that only sailors on warships were allowed to shave their heads, others were not allowed. When Li Zhenhua saw their depressed looks, he said to them: "Just pretend that you are on a warship. If you have anything to do in the future, just blame it on me." If you say I asked you to shave your head, that's all." As soon as the soldiers in the team were happy, they immediately started looking for knives to chop off the braid on their heads that symbolized humiliation. Li Zhenhua asked them to change into the training uniforms of his soldiers, which were much better than their robes and jackets. The Marines could only wonder why they didn't come here to serve as soldiers. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: The reason why I treat you so well is because in two years, as long as you can't die, you will all be my soldiers. Because Li Biao has been with Li Zhenhua for many years, he can be said to be very clear about Li Zhenhua's training methods. He is as meticulous in training the soldiers as if Li Zhenhua is on the scene. However, he is very concerned about the soldiers. He always comes back from training at night. He forced the soldiers to wash their feet with hot water. Some soldiers were tired and did not wash their feet, so he washed their feet with his own hands. The soldiers were moved and burst into tears. But he said to the soldiers: "We are all brothers and we just want each other." Caring about and caring for each other, you see our general also washed my feet. At that time, I was moved and cried just like you. " Most of Li Biao's soldiers are from Hebei and Shandong. They have been farmers for many generations. They were oppressed by the Qing government and the landlords. Now they understand why they are suffering. It is because of the oppression by the imperialist powers outside and the Qing government inside. If they want to live a good life in the future, they can only pick up guns to defend. The simple truth that my hometown will no longer be bullied by imperialism and oppressed by the Qing government has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Due to the large population in the north, more poor brothers will join here in the future, but their cultural level will be lower thanIf it is low, then you need to work harder and study harder. Li Zhenhua was watching their training in the artillery regiment. A guard came to report that Ding Ruchang, the admiral of the Beiyang Navy, had arrived. Li Zhenhua immediately greeted him. As soon as Ding Ruchang saw Li Zhenhua, he immediately clasped his hands and expressed his gratitude to Li Zhenhua. He said to Li Zhenhua: "General Li is very grateful to me. I deeply admire the training of the Marine Corps. Those officers and soldiers seemed to have changed after they returned. I, Ding Ruchang, have been leading the army for many years, but I am far worse than the general. " Li Zhenhua said: "Thank you, Ding Junmen. Ding Junmen, please come to my residence to talk." However, Ding Ruchang didn't care. Li Zhenhua just walked around the cannons and watched the artillerymen in training. After a while, he said to Li Zhenhua: "General, I miss you." Why are the artillerymen of the Qing Dynasty Navy not as good as your recruits who have only a few months of artillery training? "Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "It's not surprising that your artillerymen have more training than practice, but our artillerymen practice more. Combining practice with training is the true test of training. ""Can you let them try two rounds?" "Yes, Eighth Company Commander!" Young Company Commander Sun Tiezhu ran to Li Zhenhua and replied loudly. : "Here!" "Let your two squads each fire two rounds for Ding Junmen to take a look." "Yes!" The company commander turned and ran back to his cannon, raised his telescope and looked into the distance, and then looked below The soldiers issued an order: "Class One and Class Two, obey the order!" The soldiers of the two classes immediately stood at attention and listened to his order. "The target in front of the small trees four thousand meters away is two rounds of high-explosive bombs for each class!" "Yes!" The soldiers of the two classes immediately took action. After a burst of movement, the first gunner reported the distance of two The gunner quickly shook the handle to aim at distant targets and adjust the muzzle height. Soon all preparations were in place. The third gunner pushed the shell into the barrel. The company commander stood at attention and reported to Li Zhenhua: "Report to the leader: The high-explosive bombs are loaded! Ready!" Shoot!" Li Zhenhua nodded. Text Chapter 127 The military song is loud and clear "Ready!" The company commander raised the red flag in his hand. "Let go!" The company commander roared and waved the red flag in his hand vigorously. I saw the cannon suddenly sitting back, spraying flames from the muzzle, and then there was a loud noise and the shells flew out. Ding Ruchang's eyes were fixed on the target in the telescope. After a few seconds, he saw that the reed mat used as the target had been blown to pieces and a fire was burning there. . The gunners had loaded the shells into the barrel again. The company commander gave the second order to the cannon. There was another loud bang and the second shell hit there again. "Beautiful, beautiful, really well beaten." Ding Ruchang said to Li Zhenhua: "General, I have a grudge, please give me that company commander." "Why does Ding Junmen like him?" "Yes, I do. Let him go to my Beiyang Navy. I want him to be a gunnery commander on Dingyuan to train the gunnery commanders of the entire Beiyang Navy. Let him help me train my gunners. I will give him a garrison title. That's the fifth grade. It's really not easy for an ordinary gunner to survive until he becomes the chief gunner. " "You can let him go, but the time can only be two years. You can arrange him however you want, but his English level is a bit poor. "Two years? Let's make a deal! If his English is not good, I will give him a company commander who can pass the test in two years." "That would be great," Li Zhenhua shouted immediately. He shouted: "Sun Tiezhu!" "Here!" "Prepare your things and follow Ding Junmen to work in the Beiyang Navy. Remember, don't embarrass us Dongying people when you get there. In addition, you will have to pass the English test in two years to come back. I want to take the exam myself.¡± ¡°Yes! Chief¡± Although I agreed happily, I didn¡¯t feel that way in my heart. However, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Since the chief has given an order, he must carry it out. Ding Ruchang happily chatted with Sun Tiezhu, but Li Zhenhua's mutton hot pot made him full of praise. He said to Li Zhenhua that I will come here often to eat this bite. Li Zhenhua smiled and agreed to him. At the same time, he had the mutton hot pot made. The method was also told to Ding Ruchang so that he could have something to eat when he went back. When he had more troops, Li Zhenhua wanted to formulate a charter for his troops, that is, discipline. He copied the ready-made "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" and wrote them on paper and pasted them on the wall. Then the song started to sing. "Every one of us soldiers must keep in mind the three major disciplines and the eight items. Pay attention to the first and follow the command in all actions to achieve victory" Soon this song was sung throughout the army, not only in Dongying but also in other places. They all began to sing it. After learning this song, Li Zhenhua asked each unit to set up its own art troupe to put some of the officers and soldiers' own affairs on the stage. This can better activate the atmosphere of the unit, and he can sing it to everyone during the New Year and holidays. Let¡¯s better carry out recreational activities for the troops. This was the impression he got from his cooperation with Yaqi. After Li Biao's military training was on track, Li Zhenhua felt relieved that there were still many things to do in the south, so he decided to go to Fangcheng. He called Mayor Lin Zhiming and Li Biao over and they discussed it together and explained the work to them. Tell Yaqi to prepare a meal for the two of them. It's okay tonight. Lin Zhiming and Li Biao are here. It's normal for them to come to Li Zhenhua's place to have a meal. Today's dinner is Yaqi's dumplings, pork and cabbage dumplings for a few people, and they have wine. But today they know that something is going on. They finished the meal quickly without much drinking. Li Zhenhua served them tea and the three of them started talking. After Yaqi finished cleaning up, she also sat aside and listened to some things that she needed to record. In terms of urban and industrial construction, Lin Zhiming is responsible for military training and local security work, and Li Biao is responsible for this division of labor. This division of labor is very clear. There is no waffling in this. Li Zhenhua doesn¡¯t need to say much. He has also talked about construction before. On the one hand, we must pay attention to safety and prevent accidents. We must pay attention to ensuring that workers' lives are not bad. We must make everyone's life better. During the Chinese New Year, workers can take a few days off to rest. Military personnel do not take a holiday, but those who are close to home can also take turns to ask for leave and go back to see what time it is. It shouldn't be too long, just give me a dozen days of vacation. Military training also requires soldiers to be careful not to cause any casualties and to pay attention to safety. Pay attention to mobilizing the enthusiasm of officers and soldiers. Care about the life, training and health of the soldiers. Especially, beware of Japanese spies. Be careful not to let Japanese spies sneak in. If they do, it will be a big problem. Don't just consider that strangers and acquaintances are sometimes bribed by the Japanese. People like that are more destructive. If you have anything to do in the future, just send him a telegram. The telegram here is very convenient. Dongying has established its own telegraph room, which is transferred through Weihai, and you have your own password. Under the current situation, others cannot?Deciphered. Both of them said they remembered Li Zhenhua¡¯s words and asked him to rest assured that nothing would happen. After the two of them left, Li Zhenhua sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang telling him that he was going to the south and there were some things that he needed to solve by himself. Li Hongzhang quickly replied to the telegram wishing him a safe journey and asking him to come back early. With General Li on Weihai's side, Li Hongzhang felt much more at ease and at the same time his troops were very proud. Li Zhenhua said to Yaqi again: "Yaqi, what should you do? Do you want to go back to Beijing to see your relatives? Come back here next spring and haven't seen your relatives in Beijing for several months. Do you miss home?" Yaqi said to Li Zhenhua said: "Forget it, there is nothing in Beijing. I only have one adoptive father among my relatives. It is my fate that I met you. Don't you know that if our other sisters were to be married by the emperor or the queen mother, it would be very possible." You will end up in a very pitiful end. It will be a few years before you get a chance to go home to visit your relatives. Otherwise, it is like marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, marrying a dog. The children of those princes and nobles don¡¯t have any good things. They don¡¯t know anything. He just used the little money from his ancestors to spend money on food, drink, whoring, and gambling, and ruined every family. I also ruined the remaining property in the family because my parents died early. I had no choice but to go to the prince's house. By then he was already dead. If I could, I wouldn't be able to enter his door. But he was very nice to me and taught me a lot of things. But when I heard that he had arranged for me to get married, At that time, I even wanted to die. I don¡¯t know who the prodigal son was, but I didn¡¯t expect that I would meet you. It was also fate. Later, when I heard about what you did in the south, I admired you very much, but I was afraid that you didn¡¯t want me. . Text Chapter 128 The Youth Gang Visits So when I got off the boat and heard that you were missing, I was in a hurry and went to find you without caring about anything. Master Weng was not a good person. He only restricted me in this and that. At that time, he did not let me go to me. Said: How is this appropriate? I said to him: This is my family matter. You don't want to worry about it. I rode away and ran away. Fortunately, you saved me. Otherwise, I would have died just after seeing you. That would be a real pity. But we can still talk to that little Shanzi. He has a very good impression of you. " Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said: "Since you don't want to go back, there's no need to go back. Just go to Shanghai with me. You've been tired enough for a while. You can have a good rest on the ship. " "I am able to be with you in this life, no matter how hard and tired I am, I am still happy. I don't know how many lifetimes of cultivation I have been blessed. " "My wife is getting better and better at talking. If you keep talking, I will faint. " " Are they telling the truth? You will make fun of them. "The little fist hit Li Zhenhua's chest again. Even tickling was not considered teasing. Li Zhenhua took her in his arms. The next morning, the "Taishan" warship set sail with only a few A senior cadre came to see him off. The others did not know that their top leader had left. When they entered the Yellow Sea, everyone was on alert and prepared for battle in case the Japanese appeared again, but there was no calm at all on the sea. Any foreign warship has only a few fishing boats fishing on the sea. Li Zhenhua and Yaqi stood on the front deck. He said to Yaqi: "This should be the case in the future. Our own fishermen will not fish in their own territorial waters." You are not allowed to enter our territorial waters casually. " "I believe this situation will remain forever. "The sailors on the warship still had fresh memories of the last battle. They laughed happily together. Deng Shichang left his command tower and came to the front deck of the couple. He said to Li Zhenhua: "General, what happened in the autumn? The soldiers were still very excited about that battle. If it weren't for your personal presence, we wouldn't have fought so well. " "Commander Deng, it's not what you said. This battle was only possible if you commanded the submarine well and cooperated well. If not for the cooperation of all the people, it was just a warship. If we wanted to achieve such a perfect victory, we still had to After this battle, which involved a lot of sacrifices, what we need to summarize is how to carry out coordinated operations. This is not only the combat cooperation between other branches of the navy, but also the combat cooperation between other branches of the navy. " After listening to Li Zhenhua's words, Deng Shichang thought for a long time. Yes, if he is just greedy for his own pleasure or some officers are just thinking about doing meritorious service instead of relying on everyone to cooperate and disobey orders, the consequences will be difficult to predict and it will be easy for everyone to suffer in the future. It is not good for an army to create disunity in the heart. After several days of sailing at sea, the warship arrived in Shanghai. Now Li Zhenhua is already a celebrity. His official rank is a first-class Yunnan general. In addition, he has the super-high status of the royal consort. The local authorities were not notified when he disembarked, but as soon as he settled down in the hotel in Shanghai, the various branches of Xinghua Group, branches of banks, and some relevant units and customers who had business dealings with Xinghua Company all knew about it. The people who organized the call came. First, the Shanghai Daotai came to greet the Yunnan general's brother-in-law and said that he did not know that he did not go to the dock to greet him. He asked for forgiveness. Li Zhenhua laughed and said, "This is not your business. What's wrong with me for not notifying him in advance?" Yes. "But he declined all the invitations from those officials, and I didn't eat any of them. In fact, Li Zhenhua didn't know that there was a strict rule in the Qing Dynasty that after Shangguan came, all local officials, including those who were not candidates for positions, As long as you are worthy, you will have to wait at the dock or at the reception booth that may be five or ten miles outside the local city. Those who cannot be received will be punished for contempt of Shangguan. Then Nanyang and Beiyang. A group of Westernization officials who were waiting came to visit. At the same time, some foreigners came to visit. Because they had the status of a first-class general and a prince-in-law, they were bound to come. Li Zhenhua could not count the number of people who came one after another. The last one who came was What Li Zhenhua didn't expect was that he was the boss of the Qinggang. It turned out that the Qinggang was mainly engaged in canal water transportation. However, due to the development of maritime transportation and the disrepair of the river in the northern part of the canal, it was difficult for them to do business on the water. They heard that Li Zhenhua was doing great work in southern shipping. So they came this time with the intention of asking Li Zhenhua to help them or give them some advice. Li Zhenhua still knew a little about the origins of the Qing Gang, which was a non-governmental organization that they spontaneously organized in the early Qing Dynasty to resist the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The purpose was to "resist the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty." However, as the Qing government's rule gradually became stronger and stronger, they never achieved their goal.Now it's just about saving the organization. Now they are just maintaining a survival problem, but they can't do anything. Sometimes they have to rely on the help of the Qing government to make a living. For example, the water transportation operated by Songjiang Prefecture must go to Hangzhou, Songjiang and other prefectures. Those officials are good at giving gifts. If they don't do this, there will be no transportation work, and there will be no livelihood. They have their own original intelligence network, which should actually be very powerful. They know a lot about Li Zhenhua, and they feel that it is easier to ask him than to ask those officials to say something. In addition, they heard that this person is really capable and he can do it in a short period of time. He built a defensive city in an orderly manner and at the same time they were able to defeat the French. He was a national hero in the eyes of the Youth Gang. The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was very strong and had a shrewd look on his face. He was not tall and was very polite to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua's first impression of him was good. He originally thought they were just a bunch of gangsters, but as soon as he saw Shen Baoxiang, he knew he was wrong. This man was a very capable person. He had to find a way to make him his assistant in the future. Li Zhenhua is relatively polite to the Youth Gang because he has some understanding of them. This is a social force. If they use it well, it can be a disaster if the power of construction and fighting is not used well. Now that he saw them coming to see him, he was determined to hear their purpose. The name of the visitor is Shen Baoxiang, and people call him Axiang. He is known as "Flying on the Water". He is good at martial arts and is good at water. He is very loyal and is quite famous in the Shanghai area. It should be said that he can eat both black and white. Even foreigners have to give him three points. But it was such a person who came to Li Zhenhua for advice because of the difficult world. Text Chapter 129 Discussion of the Golden Waterway Shen Baoxiang invited Li Zhenhua to eat at a restaurant on the Huangpu River in Shanghai. Li Zhenhua also wanted to date and they happily agreed. However, he said to Shen Baoxiang that we don¡¯t need to go to the restaurant to eat. I heard that the meals on your boat are quite unique and he wants to come. They went to eat on their fishing boat. Shen Baoxiang was a happy man and he immediately agreed. So they arrived outside the door and there were already two small basket-colored sedans carried by two people waiting there. The bearers carried the sedan towards the Huangpu River. Li Zhenhua sat in the sedan. He opened the curtains of the sedan and looked outside. It turned out that he had been to Shanghai before, but at this time, Shanghai did not look like the big city it once was. But in There are some buildings beside the Huangpu River, most of which are the residences of foreign banks. Our own Xinghua Group Bank only occupies a small place, but it can be regarded as occupying a place in the future metropolis. There are many pedestrians, most of them are men, but there are also some women, but most of them come out to make a living due to the pressure of life, while the women of the big houses are rare. Some foreign women are not included in this example. Most of the people on the road are businessmen or businessmen. They are poor people with certain status who will not appear directly on the road. They all have their own sedans or carriages and other means of transportation. Cars and bicycles are rarely seen. It seems that this market must be occupied as soon as possible. They came to a fishing boat on the Huangpu River. The hostess on the boat was very good-looking. Although she was in her thirties, she still had the charm of a Jiangnan beauty. She wore a blue top with white flowers on her upper body, and underneath she wore basket-colored baggy trousers, like a northern woman. The difference is that they don't have their feet bound or leggings, and the trouser legs are left open. They wear shoes (most of the women on the boat are barefoot, but I don't know if they wear them in winter). They have an apron around their waist and their hair is tied on their head. With a hairpin fixed there, you can tell that he is a person with quick hands and feet (Li Zhenhua feels as if he has seen A Qing's wife). He speaks in Suzhou soft language. Li Zhenhua can still understand a little if he listens carefully. Li Zhenhua, Yaqi and Shen Baoxiang sat down in the cabin. They said a few words at first and then got down to business. Shen Baoxiang first introduced the situation in his gang to Li Zhenhua. With the development of inland shipping, foreign ships entered. But they first gained a large number of customers with extremely low freight rates and fast services. Soon they suppressed the small ships operated by the Chinese, and then some government-run and commercial shipping companies were also squeezed out. . Poor management, poor management, coupled with corruption by some people, China's inland waterway shipping will soon have to be maintained. After squeezing China's inland waterway shipping, they raised freight rates. Foreigners have already dominated the Yangtze River. The Qing Gang has no steamships and ships. They rely on some of their own wooden ships and do not have the strength to compete with foreigners. Their situation is even more difficult. The Yangtze River and the canal have all been occupied by foreign small steamers, and their freight rates are extremely high. For a mere 600 nautical miles from Hankou to Shanghai, they have raised the freight rate to seventy taels, which is thousands of miles between China and Britain. How many times the route is? You need to know that it is nearly 10,000 nautical miles. From Tianjin to Shanghai, it is only 750 nautical miles. Their freight rate has reached nearly ten times that of the Sino-British route. Several companies, such as the American Qichang Company and the British Swire, dominate the Yangtze River. There are no other ships to compete with them. The cost of a new ship they invested in has to be run from Hankou to Shanghai has already been recovered. Li Zhenhua's face turned cold after hearing what Shen Baoxiang said. He, you grandma, are too bullying. But isn't there even a wise person in the entire Qing government who can compete with him? Shen Baoxiang said: "A few years ago, Sheng Xuanhuai set up a steamship investment bureau to fight against them, but soon they were unable to protect themselves." Suddenly, the fishing boat he was riding on began to shake greatly, scaring Yaqi Gege into haste. Holding Li Zhenhua's arm tightly, she looked outside and saw that a foreign ship was passing behind the fast-moving ship on the Huangpu River, causing huge waves to shake the originally calm river water. Fortunately, it was the skill of the sailors on the boat who controlled the fishing boat. After a while, it slowly calmed down. Shen Baoxiang said: "Situations like this happen many times every year. If not, the boat will capsize and the cargo will be lost, or even worse. "It's going to cost people." "Don't the government care?" "When it comes to foreigners, it's difficult to deal with it. The only thing you can do is to knock out your teeth and swallow it, at most, you have to pay a little money." It¡¯s done.¡± Li Zhenhua said: ¡°It really pisses me off to let them be so lawless on the Yangtze River in China. So, Brother Shen, what are you going to do?¡± Shen Baoxiang said: ¡°Sir, I know you are a good and capable person. I know that you are determined to work hard for the prosperity of this country. I have no way now. If I had a way, I wouldn't come to you. I came here today just to ask adults to help me. If it doesn't work, please help me. To be honest, life is very difficult for everyone in the gang right now.¡±?Zhenhua looked at Shen Baoxiang's loyal face and thought about it quietly. Then he said to Shen Baoxiang: "Brother Shen, let me ask you, if we also have a ship, how much tonnage will it cost to run from Shanghai to Hankou and then to Yibin?" "A thousand tons from Shanghai to Hankou is enough, and a smaller one from Yibin is 600 tons." "How many ships are needed from Shanghai to Hankou? If there are more than six, just two will be enough." "Do you still have the original docks, warehouses and other facilities?" "Those sites are still there. They have not been used for many years and need to be cleaned up before they can be used." Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "That is not a problem now." It's almost the twelfth lunar month. Let's forget it this year. Next spring, I will give you three boats in February. You can try them out first. Then in May, I will give you three more boats. Then you can live. " Shen Baoxiang was stunned when he heard this. ? What? I can't afford to buy three boats at once. At that time, there was a look of embarrassment on his face: "My lord, you are giving me such a big favor. It's not because I, surnamed Shen, don't know how to praise me. We really can't afford so much." Money." Li Zhenhua laughed loudly: "We have been talking together for so long, can't you see that I am here just to deal with those foreigners? Of course, I am also helping you and at the same time asking you to stand up. I challenge them with my chest. The Yangtze River is a golden waterway for us in China, and the rest belongs to them only if we Chinese use it.¡± Text Chapter 130 Sheng Xuanhuai is here Shen Baoxiang looked at Li Zhenhua with a vague understanding. He really didn't dare to think that just by his words, the entire Green Gang could survive. Li Zhenhua went on to say: "We are cooperating and helping each other. You get out of the docks, warehouses and facilities in various places. I get out of the ships. Today, no one is taking advantage of anyone. We can only share the benefits. Let's just make an agreement." The future profits will be divided into 50 and 50. You think so." Shen Baoxiang is a loyal and loyal person, but he is also quite smart. As soon as he heard about it, he immediately took over his property on the Yangtze River, including docks, warehouses, The total amount of the warehouse can be equivalent to one million taels of silver, but one of their ships is already worth one million taels. If the two companies cooperate like this, isn't it the same as taking other people's money for nothing? No, you can't do this to others. You have to have a sense of proportion and don't be too greedy. He immediately said: "Sir, this can't be done. All my belongings add up to only one million taels, and it's still real estate. No one wants it. One ship costs one million taels, sir. Even if you give me three at a time, I'll be rich." It's all gone, let alone if you want to invest six pieces? You can't say anything and you can't do business without this. Today is just a meal for you. Let's not mention it again." Li Zhenhua heard that this guy is a straight man. If you give him more, he will be in a hurry with you. So Li Zhenhua smiled and asked, "Then how do you think we should divide it?" If you offer one boat, we will be one to one. If you offer three boats, we will be three to one. If you offer six boats, it will be six to one. Of course, my men still earn their wages, and they are also benefiting from the general." " You're not saying it's impossible." Li Zhenhua continued: "But if that's the case, when can we get our Yangtze River waterway back?" Shen Baoxiang was speechless and Li Zhenhua said again: "We will suppress them all at once? The ship ticket per person is seventy taels of silver. Our ship ticket can only be twenty taels for a ton of cargo. They charge fifteen taels, but we can only charge five taels. This is ridiculously high. In the future, we can only reach a reasonable price. Let ordinary people be able to ride on the steamship. "Well, people still think far, but what should I do if I don't have that much money? Li Zhenhua saw what he was thinking and said to him: "Tomorrow you go to Xinghua Bank. Go and get a loan of one million taels from them. First arrange for 500,000 taels to be used for the lives of everyone in the gang, and then use the 500,000 taels to renovate all the docks and warehouses. In addition, the renovation labor, materials, etc. will be added. Together, it¡¯s about two million taels. Then we¡¯ll consider buying shares. Then wouldn¡¯t we have the same number? Besides, our ship isn¡¯t worth that much money. It¡¯s just a cost price of just over two hundred thousand taels. The price of six boats is only two million taels. "You should be satisfied," Li Zhenhua said in his heart. Shen Baoxiang was already dumbfounded. Seeing Shen Baoxiang's demeanor, there was such a thing. Li Zhenhua said to him again: Their ship is coal-fired, but ours is not coal-fired. It is the residual oil left from the refinery. This is another question. We have saved some, and our machines are all fast and save money. This makes Shen Baoxiang even more confused. But there is only one thing in his mind now, that is, this adult is not only good in the military, but also definitely a capable person in business. People are actually helping themselves now. Li Zhenhua felt that the boat was much smoother than before. He looked up and saw the famous "Waibaidu Bridge". At this time, the "Waibaidu Bridge" was still made of wood. It turned out that their sailors had just driven the boat to the Suzhou River out of fear that Li Zhenhua would be angry. Here comes. Li Zhenhua continued: "You invested 2 million taels of personnel, land and facilities for a total of more than 2 million taels of silver. My ship is considered to be two million taels. So I have taken advantage of you, which is a one-to-one ratio. Are you satisfied?" " When Shen Baoxiang saw that Mr. Lin was sincerely helping him, he had to say: "Sir, I, Shen Baoxiang, have been in the world for so many years and I have never seen anyone as loyal as you. From now on, this Qinggang will be yours. If you need anything, the more than 10,000 people in our Qinggang will listen to you." After saying that, he stood up and knelt down to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua hurriedly went over to help him up and said, "From now on, we are here. Brother, you are older than me and I am a brother. I will call you big brother and we are not allowed to kneel again." Shen Baoxiang got up and wiped his red eyes with his hands and said sternly to Li Zhenhua: "Okay, I will listen to you from now on. From now on, we are brothers. If you have anything to do, please tell me, brother, I will definitely listen to you." At this time, Li Zhenhua had agreed on the matter, and he said goodbye and went back. He asked Shen Baoxiang to go to Xinghua early tomorrow morning. The bank first went to withdraw five hundred thousand taels of silver and asked him to arrange the lives of his people so that people would have a happy New Year and no longer have to worry about it. At the same time, he asked him to first select a hundred smart and educated young people to help people.I went to Fangcheng beforehand to familiarize myself with the new ship and then conduct unified training for various business personnel on the ship and at the dock. When Li Zhenhua returned to the hotel, the waiter immediately reported to him that a man from Shanda came to visit and had been waiting for you for a long time. He has not come back yet. He will come tomorrow. Please wait for him tomorrow. Li Zhenhua politely told him that he understood and then returned to his room with Yaqi. After returning to the house, Li Zhenhua began to rest. Yaqi said to him: "I didn't expect that the cooks on those ships are really good at cooking. Not only are they good at cooking, but they also cook very authentic meals." Li Zhenhua said: "They cook a lot. Practice makes perfect, aren't you good at your craft?" Yaqi said: "The taste is different from theirs. I will learn from them if I have the chance." Li Zhenhua asked: "Okay, you can also learn more. By the way, do you know who the Shanda guy is? I've been seeing them all the time these past two days, but I'm so annoyed that I won't see that Shanda guy tomorrow." Yaqi thought for a moment and said, "I am. Come to think of it, he might be Li Hongzhang's master who was in charge of foreign affairs. He held a rank of guard rank under Li Hongzhang. "Sheng Xuanhuai?" Li Zhenhua's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. His eyebrows were raised. This is a rare talent in modern China: "Okay, if he comes, we will see him without doing anything." He knew that this Sheng Xuanhuai was the most famous person in the late Qing Dynasty. Politicians, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists. Text Chapter 131 Meeting Sheng Xuanhuai for the first time Sheng Xuanhuai's life can be said to be full of legends. In the late Qing Dynasty, he created eleven firsts in China in order to save the country through Westernization. These eleven firsts are: In 1972, China's first "Steamship Investment Regulations" was drafted by China's first centralized business consultation office. In 20 years, China's first telegraph bureau was established in Tianjin Telegraph Bureau. In 3 years, China's first Shandong inland river steamboat was founded. The company "explored" in Hubei in the 1870s. In 596, it took over the Hanyang Iron Works and gradually developed into a truly integrated steel enterprise. Hanyeping Coal and Iron Works and Mining Company. In the late 1990s, it built China's first main railway line, the Luhan Railway, in 797 China's first bank, China Commercial Bank, was built. In 1995, China's first formal Northern University was founded. In 1897, the first normal class was opened at Nanyang Public School. This was China's first formal higher normal school. In 1902, China Exploration Corporation was founded in 1904. Founded the Red Cross Society in Shanghai and was appointed by the Qing government as the first president of the Red Cross Society of China in 1907. In 1910, he established a private Shanghai Library. And the struggle between Sheng Xuanhuai and the most famous red-top businessman Hu Xueyan is also very dramatic. Hu Xueyan and Sheng Xuanhuai belong to two different interest groups. Hu Xueyan's backstage was Zuo Zongtang, Sheng Xuanhuai's backstage was Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang had deep conflicts. This is the reason for the fight between Hu and Sheng. The case of Sheng Xuanhuai defeating Hu Xueyan is very exciting. He used direct attack methods to cause Hu Xueyan's wealth building to collapse in a short period of time. Sheng Xuanhuai first did a "seven-inch pinch". Hu Xueyan hoards a large amount of raw silk every year to monopolize the raw silk market and control the price of raw silk. The more you rely on something, the more you are controlled by it. Sheng Xuanhuai launched his attack precisely from raw silk. Through spies, he learned about Hu Xueyan's buying and selling of raw silk, purchased large quantities of raw silk, and then sold large quantities to Hu Xueyan's customer base. At the same time, he bribed businessmen and foreign compradors from all over the country to prevent them from buying Hu Xueyan's raw silk. As a result, Hu Xueyan's raw silk inventory increased day by day and his funds became increasingly tight. Immediately afterwards, Sheng Xuanhuai began to "draw money from the bottom of the cauldron" and became interested in Hu Xueyan's cash flow. Hu Xueyan is the kind of bold person who dares to operate with debt. Five years ago, he borrowed 6.5 million taels of silver from HSBC and set a 7-year term to repay the principal and interest of approximately 500,000 taels every six months. The next year, he borrowed another 4 million taels of silver from HSBC, resulting in a total debt of 10 million taels. Both loans are guaranteed by provincial rates. At this time, the 800,000 taels of loans that Hu Xueyan had borrowed over the years for Zuo Zongtang's military campaigns had expired. Although the money was borrowed for the imperial court, it was Hu Xueyan who signed the contract. The bank just asked Hu Xueyan for money. This loan will be compensated to Hu Xueyan every year by the rates. Logically speaking, as soon as the annual rates arrive at Shanghai Daotai, the money will be given to Hu Xueyan for his repayment. Sheng Xuanhuai made some moves here. He went to Shanghai Daotai Shao Youlian and said to him: "Li Zhongtang wants you to transfer the money later for twenty days." Shao Youlian naturally complied. For Sheng Xuanhuai, 20 days is enough time. He has colluded with foreign banks in advance to collect money from Hu Xueyan. At this time, Zuo Zongtang was far away at the military aircraft office in Beijing and had no time to help. Due to the sudden incident, Hu Xueyan had to transfer 800,000 taels of his money from Fukang Bank to fill the hole in the foreign bank first. He thought that what he would have to pay anyway was only 20 days late. However, Sheng Xuanhuai was about to take the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Hu Xueyan. He was well aware of Hu Xueyan's money transfer activities through insider information. Sheng Xuanhuai knew that the money transferred by Hu Xueyan was leaving Fukang Bank one after another. Taking advantage of Fukang Bank's empty situation, he asked someone to withdraw money from the bank for a run. Those who withdraw money are some large households, ranging from a few thousand taels to tens of thousands of taels. But Sheng Xuanhuai knew that Hu Xueyan could not be brought down by running on these people alone. He let people spread the news that Hu Xueyan hoarded raw silk and lost a lot of money, so he had to embezzle the deposits of Fukang Bank. Now Hu Xueyan still owes 800,000 yuan in loans from foreign banks, and Fukang Bank is about to collapse. Although people believed that Hu Xueyan was wealthy, it was an indisputable fact that he had a backlog of raw silk and owed loans to foreign banks. Soon people turned from disbelief to belief and started withdrawing money. The run first started in Shanghai. Sheng Xuanhuai's presence in Shanghai naturally created a great momentum. At the beginning of the run in Shanghai, Hu Xueyan was on the boat back to Hangzhou and no one could contact him. At this time, Dexin was appointed as the Zhejiang feudal lord. Dexin and Hu Xueyan have always been on good terms. When they heard that Shanghai Fukang was about to close down, they expected that a run would also happen in Hangzhou Fukang. He hurriedly asked two confidants to go to the treasury and bring out 20,000 taels of silver to be sent to Fukang. The situation in Hangzhou can still support Shanghai, but it has already lost control. Hu Xueyan arrived in Hangzhou and before he had time to rest, he hurried back to Shanghai at starry night and asked the manager Gao Da to urge Shanghai Daotai Shao Youlian to pay the salary. Shao Youlian could only listen to Sheng Xuanhuai at this time, because Sheng Xuanhuai said that Li Zhongtang asked him to pay twenty days late, so he asked his servants to say that he was not at home. At this time, Hu Xueyan thought of his backer Zuo Zongtang in Beijing and asked Gao Da to quickly send a telegram to ask Zuo Zongtang to support him. Little did they know that Sheng Xuanhuai secretly?Tell someone to seize the telegram. The next day, when Hu Xueyan saw no reply from Zuo Zongtang, he became really anxious and went to Daotai Mansion in Shanghai to demand it. This time Shao Youlian went to inspect the manufacturing bureau and escaped. Hu Xueyan had no choice but to mortgage his land deeds and real estate and sell his accumulated silk at a low price in the hope of surviving the run. Unexpectedly, the trend became more and more intense, and there was a huge crowd of people in front of Fukang Bank in various places. The threshold of the bank was stepped on, and the door frame was squeezed crookedly. Only then did Hu Xueyan realize that Sheng Xuanhuai was plotting against him. Soon Hu Xueyan, a wealthy businessman of a generation, died in grief and anger. Facing a powerful enemy like Hu Xueyan, if Sheng Xuanhuai adopted a "slow war", Hu Xueyan could deal with Yuru and never go bankrupt. He adopted a quick-fire strategy to seize Hu Xueyan's key points and suddenly took action. Hu Xueyan's cash flow was temporarily interrupted, and the huge foundation suddenly collapsed. I am just looking for talents everywhere. Isn¡¯t this Shanda man the best talent? Why did I forget about him? I really shouldn't have. Then invite him to Fangcheng immediately, and then he won't want to come back. As for Li Hongzhang, even if he asks for personal matters, he will definitely agree. But the last time I heard that Deng Shichang sank two Japanese warships, Li Hongzhang was a little unhappy. He felt that he had suffered a big loss by giving Deng Shichang to him. But he also knew that if Deng Shichang continued to serve in his Beiyang Navy, he would also It doesn't matter if it doesn't play a big role, just tell him yourself and he will definitely agree. Text Chapter 132 Mr. Sheng Xuanhuai wants to change jobs The next morning, as soon as Li Zhenhua got up, he heard the waiter knocking on the door. Li Zhenhua opened the door and saw that it was the hotel waiter. When he saw Li Zhenhua opening the door, he immediately said to Li Zhenhua: "The person from Shanda that Mr. Li mentioned yesterday is here, please." Did you see him?" "Please come in. I'll take care of it right away." After a while, I heard a sound outside the door and heard someone knocking softly on the door. Li Zhenhua immediately opened the door, a middle-aged man in his forties. The man stood outside the door. From his appearance, Li Zhenhua felt that this man was extraordinary but also mentally frustrated. Sheng Xuanhuai is about forty-seven or eighty years old this year. He is not wearing official uniform, just a green hat. Li Zhenhua hurriedly welcomed him in. Yaqi gave him a glass of water, which shocked Sheng Xuanhuai. How could he let this happen? Does she bring water? He was about to salute Yaqi, but Li Zhenhua hurriedly stopped him and said to him: "Sheng Shanda, please don't be polite and ask her to pour you a glass of water. It's worth it. You are a powerful person in our country." Sheng Xuanhuaiyi Listen to how this prince-in-law said that I am a capable person. I have done nothing. Seeing his appearance, Li Zhenhua began to count his achievements: "1. You once drafted China's first joint venture "Steamship" 2. Then you founded China¡¯s first telegraph bureau, Tianjin Telegraph Bureau. 3. You founded China¡¯s first Shandong Inland River Steamboat Company. 4. You once ¡°explored¡± in Hubei. Are these not for us? Is this country making a contribution? "It turns out that this is what he said, but it would be better if he didn't say this. Mentioning this made Sheng Xuanhuai feel even more uncomfortable. Although these tasks are done, only oneself knows how difficult it is to do them. . First of all, those officials have a conservative mentality. Every time they propose something, they must first expect that there will be objections, and then do the work one by one. If it doesn't work, they have to make roundabout ways. Then they pass it and then submit it to the higher authorities for approval until the court approves the project. Then there are countless people looking for trouble for you. Once you resolve them one by one, things will no longer be the same as before. Let¡¯s just talk about the ¡°Steamship Investment Regulations¡±. I went through all the trouble to get the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau approved, but the boss behind the scenes, Li Hongzhang, wanted everyone to work together to formulate the regulations. As a result, it turned out that no one could come up with this. Only then did I allow myself to make a new one. I finally made it, but it has gone through many modifications and is now beyond recognition. Sheng Xuanhuai smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, please don't laugh at me. How long did it take you to set up an ocean shipping company?" "It only takes two months from the establishment of the project to the implementation." "How long did it take for the city telegraph office?" "That's more than a month." "But sir, do you know how long it took for my investment office?" Sheng Xuanhuai said seriously: "That was me. It took nearly three years. Sir, do you know how long my telegraph office took?" Li Zhenhua shook his head again and said he didn't know. Sheng Xuanhuai smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, that's more than two years. It took you three months to do the same two things, but it took me more than five years." At this point, Sheng Xuanhuai lowered his head sadly and his eyes turned red. Li Zhenhua also felt completely speechless at this time. Ah, how difficult is it to get something done in this poor and backward China? He admired Sheng Xuanhuai from the bottom of his heart. He just said something, but Sheng Xuanhuai had to convince those ignorant people step by step. Ignorant governments and officials then have to do everything by themselves step by step. When Yaqi heard this, she realized why her husband wanted to see this man. She felt sympathy for Sheng Xuanhuai now. She felt that he must have not eaten yet if he came early, so he quietly came to the door and asked the waiters to deliver it to him. Serve breakfast. Sheng Xuanhuai paused for a while to calm down his mind. At this time, he thought of several things that he had wanted to do for a long time: railways, mining, banks, and formal universities, but they had already been completed. The reason he came today was to meet with Li Your Excellency, tell me that he is going to work for Li Zhenhua. He is determined not to be an official in this country anymore. He is going to be a real businessman to realize his grand ideals. Sheng Xuanhuai said to Li Zhenhua: "I have no other reason to be here today. I just want to join your Majesty's command and become a real industrialist. It turns out that the purpose of joining Beiyang is to save the country through industry. Now that I see your Majesty's achievements, I can't bear it." If you are not tempted, please accept me." As soon as Wansheng Xuanhuai lifted his robe, he knelt down in front of Li Zhenhua. As soon as Li Zhenhua saw that this was okay, he immediately came to Sheng Xuanhuai and hurriedly helped him up and said to him: "Sheng Shanda, if you didn't tell me, I would have already made the intention to invite you here. Today, you have made your attitude clear." That?You're welcome. From now on, come to my Fangcheng and let's build this country strong together. You can rest assured that I will tell you everything about Li Zhongtang. " There was another knock on the door. Several waiters brought breakfast. The three of them ate briefly. Then Li Zhenhua informed the servants and told them that Li Zhenhua was not at home today. Someone wanted to see them, so they declined. The two of them continued. The conversation started. When Sheng Xuanhuai saw that Li Zhenhua was treating him sincerely, he told Li Zhenhua some of his thoughts. Li Zhenhua also told him some of the situation in Fangcheng. The two of them had lunch at noon. Li Zhenhua proposed to go to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau run by Sheng Xuanhuai. Sheng Xuanhuai agreed and the two of them changed into plain clothes. Yaqi also asked her to change clothes and dress up as a boy, and the three of them went to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau together. Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing General Administration was first planned by Zeng Guofan in Shanghai on September 20, 5th year after its establishment, and then Li Hongzhang was actually in charge. It was the largest Westernization enterprise founded by Li Hongzhang in Shanghai. It has continuously expanded and has built more than a dozen branches, employing 2,800 engineers. It manufactures guns, ammunition, ships, and machines and also has cultural and educational institutions such as translation halls and Cantonese dialect halls. However, it still has a strong yamen habit in its management. The initial construction of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was under the flag of an American company in the Shanghai Concession. It is recorded that the Iron Works was established by purchasing the machinery workshop and shipyard. In the same year, it merged the original Suzhou Foreign Artillery Bureau and the machinery and equipment purchased by Rong Hong from the United States. Text Chapter 133 I have to take this game The Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is the largest and has the largest budget among the several arsenals of the Self-Strengthening Movement. In addition to the investment of about 250,000 taels in the year of establishment, its main early funding came from the military expenditures of the Huai Army. Later, in 7 years, Zeng Guofan obtained permission from Shanghai. The customs obtained a 10% tariff as the manufacturing bureau's funding and increased it to 20% in 9 years. This is equivalent to at least 400,000 taels of funding per year. Their later investment alone is more than 10 million taels. . The top leader of the Manufacturing Bureau was Supervisor Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongshang, Zhang Zhidong, etc. They all served as supervisors, but in most of the late Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang served as Supervisor. The following are administrative supervisors. In the early days, Li Hongzhang selected Feng Zhangguang and Shen Baojing as administrative supervisors, and Shanghai Daotai 5 Ding Richang when he was young) and supervised the actual mechanical management work were mostly handled by Westerners, such as the early chief engineer Hoss (an American). The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau employed a large number of Chinese workers, including Manchus and Han people. Due to their professional skills in operating and learning machines, the wages of workers at that time were 4 to 8 times that of ordinary urban coolies. These workers became the earliest batch of industrial skilled workers in modern China. The cost of each rifle was as high as 17.4 taels, compared with similar foreign workers. The product cost was only about 10 taels. During the Tongzhi period, the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was the largest arsenal in East Asia. It played a role in improving the military strength and heavy industrial production of the Qing Dynasty. For example, the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau began in 5 years under the auspices of Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan. After 7 years of imitating German weapons, the German Mauser front-loading rifle was copied. This was the first rifle produced by China. The gun used black powder and lead bullets and was incredibly powerful. In 7 years, it could produce an average of fifteen Mauser rifles and slugs per day. Various types of ammunition Li Hongzhang believed that the firearms and ammunition produced by the bureau at that time were helpful in pacifying the later rebellion. In addition to guns and ammunition, the bureau also produced China's first self-made steamboat (wooden hull) Hui. Lucky number. In 1891, steel was produced for the first time in China. But overall, the quality of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau's armaments production in the late Qing Dynasty was not good. For example, the quality of rifles was low and their performance was poor (it is said that even the Huai Army led by Li Hongzhang was not good at that). They all refused to use it) and the production cost is higher than direct purchase. The situation of shipbuilding is also similar. After the first production in 2008, several steamships were built one after another. However, the shipbuilding speed was not fast and the overall production cost and fuel consumption were high. As a result, it was not as good as buying directly from foreign countries (since The cost of building one ship can buy two ships from the UK). The increase in the cost of armament production in the manufacturing bureau can be attributed to several aspects: 1. Almost all production raw materials are imported. 2. Staff salaries are relatively high. 4. The number of personnel is too large: In addition to the increasing number of foreign consultants, many Chinese officials and employees used their connections to get salary. In the early 1870s, there were only about 40 people. The number of people doubled every year. By the end of the 19th century, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau could produce 90,000 rounds of ammunition, 200 mines, and 2,000 guns a year. After entering the Machinery Bureau, no one could see the three of them. After looking around, they saw that the largest machine manufacturing factory in East Asia at the time had now become a piece of cake in the hands of Li Hongzhang. This really made Li Zhenhua dumbfounded. It had backward personnel in management, redundant technical strength, and low workers. These are fatal problems in the factory while dawdling around. If there is no drastic reform, the problem cannot be fundamentally solved. Sheng Xuanhuai's purpose of coming to Jiangnan this time is to solve the problem. But if he does not change the system, it will only be a headache. If the problem cannot be solved by treating pain in the head and feet, only those outside the establishment cannot deal with it. Now Li Hongzhang feels very sorry for Mao Dun. It is a pity to throw away Mao Dun, but it is never satisfactory if he does not throw away the weapons produced by hundreds of thousands of taels of investment every year. He had no choice but to send Sheng Xuanhuai to put out the fire again and again to solve some superficial problems. Soon new problems appeared and he had to come again. Three people were walking around in the workshop. Sheng Xuanhuai was introducing to Li Zhenhua. The first workshop here is specialized in producing guns, and the second workshop is for producing bullets. But in front of their door, they saw a large number of waste products piled there. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but ask. : "Mr. Sheng, why are there so many scraps here?" Li Zhenhua promised Sheng Xuanhuai to come to Fangcheng and even changed his title to Sir instead of Sir. Sheng Xuanhuai said: "The machines imported from foreign countries are already very backward, and the technical strength is not good, and the technical level of the workers is low. If you put these two aspects together, it is not the end of the world. When I first came here, the waste accounted for 9% at most." 10. Just like this, those people who only receive money and do nothing continue to eat and drink and continue to line their pockets. Although I have been here a few times, I said it has gotten better, but it still cannot fundamentally solve the problem. " "What do you mean? "Alas! You know the system here, the general office. They don't want to take advantage of it. They all sent their own people to the factory. At first they were supervisors, but later they just occupied a seat." Don't care about anythingAfter that, some people squeezed in. They just came to get a comfortable salary and did nothing (they also knew nothing). And their wages are several times higher than those of ordinary workers. "Sheng Xuanhuai replied: "If you raise a bunch of moths like them, the Machinery Bureau will not be able to do well. " "How about the current equipment? " "The equipment is already aging and most of it is obsolete equipment from foreign countries. " "What about the technical strength of the Chinese? " "They have no right to speak at all. Most of them can't take charge. Some thoughtful and intelligent people will be attacked. " "What's the situation like with the workers? " "Workers also come here to work for a day's wages. " Li Zhenhua was thinking about the current situation in his mind. It is difficult for this machine bureau to continue to work. It doesn't matter if the equipment is old. It doesn't matter if the workers are lax. The key is to see how your system works. The chief engineer in the bureau is a foreigner. Good or bad. It's up to them. They are not willing to make you rich and powerful at all. Secondly, there are too many idle people. What is the use of raising them? Thirdly, if the equipment needs to be updated, the manufacturing bureau can survive only by completely reforming it. Text Chapter 134 Killing three birds with one stone To be honest, Li Zhenhua has really fallen in love with this machine game now. The fact that it is the largest in East Asia has attracted Li Zhenhua. Others may say it is useless, but he thinks it is a treasure. He is not afraid of others saying that he is taking advantage of others. If he is here now, then we must get him in our hands. "Mr. Sheng" So he immediately asked his subordinate: "Does Li Zhongtang have any intention to take action in this machine bureau now?" "Yes, but it depends on who will take over." "How do you say it?" "If foreigners are allowed to take it or someone else takes over Li Zhongtang, it is absolutely unacceptable. If an adult takes over, he would be eager to do so." "Then why?" "Looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, there are only adults. Others can¡¯t gain the insight of Zhongtang.¡± ¡°How much money would it cost to take over this machine bureau?¡± ¡°Sir, if you take over, you will solve a big problem for Zhongtang.¡± It won't cost much. The machine bureau itself is of little use in the hands of Master Zhongtang. If Master takes it over, Zhongtang will save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. If this burden is removed, Zhongtang will. You can use the money to do other things. Besides, if you give it to me, you won¡¯t treat me badly.¡± Li Zhenhua smiled and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I have to take over this game. " "Yes," Sheng Xuanhuai said: "In my opinion, your Excellency must take over this bureau. This is good for the country, the Zhongtang and you. The Zhongtang has solved one of its own burdens. You can also get a machine manufacturing bureau at a low price. The country has also benefited from this. This can be said to kill three birds with one stone. Sir, please don't hesitate any more." When Li Zhenhua heard this, he immediately expressed his position: "Okay, then you can go to Tianjin immediately. When I saw Master Zhongtang, I told him that I had taken over this hot potato. If he wanted to talk to the superiors, he would tell me that my brother-in-law wanted to build a factory to play with. Now that I have no money in my hands, I will not take the money. But from now on, there is no need to go to court. Paying more will ensure that the output will be high in the future, but the quality will be improved. This will also save money for Chaoting. But when you tell Zhongtang, you can ask Zhongtang how much money I will still pay." Sheng Xuanhuai was a very smart character. He immediately understood what Li Zhenhua meant. If the money was given to Li Zhongtang, it would be given to Li Hongzhang's top Beiyang Navy. But he told me that he was just here to have fun, so there was no need to give him any money. After understanding what Li Zhenhua meant, Sheng Xuanhuai was about to leave, but what Li Zhenhua said later shocked him. Li Zhenhua immediately ordered the warship to send Sheng Xuanhuai back to Tianjin. Li Zhenhua's thoughts were unknown to others, but Sheng Xuanhuai knew very well that General Li had already She has become his darling. This Sheng Xuanhuai is definitely a rare talent in China. So we must protect him and never let him get into trouble on the way. Who knows what may happen to that neighbor? Then we must send warships. Protect him. Sheng Xuanhuai immediately said: "General, there's no need to be like this. I've been running this waterway for many years. It's fine. Don't let the warships go back and let the warships follow you." "No, if you go further south, I'll be fine. But it's different on the Yellow Sea. That neighbor to the east has to be aware that you are very important in my heart." Sheng Xuanhuai was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He bowed to Li Zhenhua and said seriously: " Mr. Li has nothing to repay, but I hope that I will die with you for the rest of my life." "That's serious," Li Zhenhua said, "Mr. Sheng, let's not be so polite in the future. We will be brothers from now on. If you are older than me, I will treat you as big brother." Just think of me as your brother." Li Zhenhua drove Sheng Xuanhuai directly to the dock and wrote a note to Li Hongzhang without turning around, asking for Sheng Xuanhuai to be given to him. The warship was already waiting there. It immediately raised fire, raised anchor, and blew its whistle. The warship left the dock and entered the Huangpu River, quickly heading toward Tianjin. Li Zhenhua went to find Shen Baoxiang again. He will use these few days in Shanghai to thoroughly understand the situation of Shanghai and the Yangtze River to lay a solid foundation for the next step of Neitan shipping work. When we arrived at Shen Baoxiang's residence, Shen Baoxiang happened to have just come back. When he saw Li Zhenhua, he immediately said: "Sir, you came just in time. I told our chief helmsman what we talked about yesterday. Our old man also admires you very much. No matter what, I will I want to invite you to have a meal together." Li Zhenhua understood that this was their leader who wanted to see if he had the ability to bring a big Qing Gang back to life because he had given so much help to the Qing Gang. There are somePeople can't believe it anymore. For the sake of future work, Li Zhenhua readily agreed to him and said to Shen Baoxiang: "We don't need to set a time. I think today will be fine. You and I will go see your old man now." When Shen Baoxiang heard this, he was very happy and immediately asked a little brother to immediately He went back to report, and then he and Li Zhenhua got into the car and headed for their chief rudder's residence. Since the car was going fast, the little brother took a shortcut, but he arrived at Li Zhenhua's car as well. This made the elders of the Qing Gang very surprised as to why this gentleman came so quickly. They had not prepared anything to welcome them, but Li Zhenhua had already entered the door, so they had no choice but to give up. At this time, Li Zhenhua had the opportunity to take a look at their boss. He saw that the old man was already over eighty years old. He was very tough, but it seemed that one of his eyes was not working well. His voice was loud and bright. Shen Baoxiang was about to make an introduction, but The old man had already saluted Li Zhenhua. Seeing that he was so old, Li Zhenhua hurriedly stopped him and prevented him from saluting, and forced him to sit on the imperial chair in the middle. Only after doing this did I realize that the old man's hand strength was really quite strong. The old man pulled Li Zhenhua and asked him to sit on the guest seat on his left. Yaqi followed suit and sat on the seat next to Li Zhenhua. But since Yaqi was present, the old man said nothing and sat on his original seat. Li Zhenhua said to him: "You are the elder and we are the juniors. How can there be juniors sitting on top? Stop talking. It's not like friends." "After hearing what Li Zhenhua said, the old man sat down, but his seat was opposite Li Zhenhua, leaving the main seat vacant. Seeing the old man's insistence, Li Zhenhua couldn't say anything, so he had to agree. Got him. Text Chapter 135 The "Little Uncle" of the Qinggang He immediately said: "Axiang asked the gang members from all the halls to come and see him." After giving the order, the Qing Gang below visited the great god with great ceremony. Everyone, regardless of seniority, kowtows before entering. This makes Li Zhenhua very uncomfortable, but he knows that these gangs have many rules, so he has no choice but to obey their arrangements. This ceremony took a long time, which made Li Zhenhua feel very unhappy. But he knew that this person was sincere, so he had no choice but to let it take its course. After the ceremony, everyone sat on both sides. The old man asked Li Zhenhua to tell him how to solve the difficulties in the gang. Li Zhenhua stood up, but the old man insisted on letting him sit down. So Li Zhenhua told everyone again what he had said to Shen Baoxiang. He said it very scientifically. Instead, he told them that the brothers of the Qing Gang had helped him a lot. Expressing gratitude to them made those who mainly focused on loyalty in the Qing Gang feel a little embarrassed. It turns out that they didn't know how efficient Li Zhenhua's work was. When they knew that the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Administration, the largest in East Asia, had changed hands to Li Zhenhua's industry, at the same time, the famous Sheng Xuan Huai Sheng in Shanghai had now arrived at Li Zhenhua's. After joining the banner, they all showed admiration. He is good at it. It has only been a few days since arriving in Shanghai, but it has caused a huge shock to this dull Shanghai. At the same time, they feel lucky that they can join this person's banner. Li Zhenhua came to see Shen Baoxiang today because he wanted to go to various places along the Yangtze River where the Qing Gang was located to see and understand the local situation for himself, and then he would start a big fight during the Chinese New Year. He explained his purpose of coming to everyone and finally said to everyone: "One more thing I must tell everyone is that our cooperation cannot be let anyone know now. Next year, we will give good news to Qichang of the United States and Swire of the United Kingdom." Once it is leaked and let them know, it will only do harm to us but not any good. Please bear with me." The old man sat down and spoke first: "As long as Axiang spreads the word, we will do what Mr. Li said. If it is leaked, it will be a family law. In addition, Master Li will no longer be an outsider. Although he is not a member of the gang, his words are equivalent to my words. Anyone who does not listen will be punished. In addition, we will be punished. The Qing Gang is very strict about seniority. After General Li and I are peers, we can call each other whatever we want." Li Zhenhua knows that their seniority is very strict. He immediately said: "Senior, please listen to Zhenhua. I'm not here to help, so don't be so strict about the seniority issue. Besides, I have always been brothers to Brother Shen. But now it's hard to talk to each other when brothers meet." " When the old man heard that what Li Zhenhua said was true, he said to the people below again: "Since General Li has something to say, let Axiang talk to him about brothers, but the others must do what I just said." Everyone heard the old man's words in unison. He shouted: "Uncle! Please accept my prayers!" Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to accept their prayers. Everyone knew in their hearts that if someone was of higher rank and had a family law servant, those who leaked secrets or committed crimes would have their tongues dug out or put them in their pockets and throw them directly into the Huangpu River to feed the fishermen. Of course, Li Zhenhua didn't know this. He thought it was just a beating, but he didn't expect that they would take this matter so seriously. At the same time, it also reflects the attitude of the Qing Gang towards Li Zhenhua. They immediately decided to meet at the pier at six o'clock the next morning and take Li Zhenhua's ship. Shen Baoxiang would accompany Mr. Li to several major piers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, including Zhenjiang, Jiangning, Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang and Hankou. Let¡¯s take a look at the situation in various places. The Qing Gang immediately sent people to the telegraph room to send telegrams to gang members in other places to let them prepare in advance. They said that a big shot from the gang would be coming in the near future so that they could prepare to welcome him. Everything was agreed upon, and then it was time to eat and drink. At first, people were a little more careful, but then things got chaotic. Everyone took turns toasting to Li Zhenhua, which was enough to make Li Zhenhua drunk. First, a few well-known people toasted, and then some of the little bosses below. They were toasting anyway, and they didn't care even if Gege was beside them. Who told Li Zhenhua to let them not care about her at first? In the end, Li Zhenhua was so drunk that he couldn't even find Li Bei. If he had followed the opinions of the gang members, he would not be allowed to leave, but Li Zhenhua insisted on leaving. Yaqi Gege said to everyone: "We accept your kindness, but it doesn't work. He needs a rest and has many things to deal with." Everyone in the Qing Gang Then they had no choice but to agree to let them go, but Li Zhenhua was already so drunk that they had no choice but to listen to Yaqi and put him in the car, and then Yaqi drove them back. When those members of the Qinggang saw that Yaqi drove Li Zhenhua away skillfully, they all shook their heads and went back one by one. She is just fine. She is such a wealthy princess. It turns out that sheHe doesn't know how to do anything, but looking at people's driving skills now, it takes more than a day or two. The next morning, Li Zhenhua's head was still hurting, but he still insisted on arriving at the pier on time. He saw Shen Baoxiang and his entourage had already arrived. Li Zhenhua had to say sorry, and then everyone got on the ship. The whistle sounded and the ship started to move. Slowly sailing in the distance, leaving Wusongkou and entering the Yangtze River. The river surface in this section is very wide. The ship drove very fast, but Li Zhenhua was afraid of affecting the fishing boats on both sides, so they did not drive as fast as possible. After walking for a while, the lookout suddenly reported that there was a ship ahead flying the American flag. Li Zhenhua raised the telescope in his hand and saw that it was an American cargo ship. The small ship was only 500 tons, but the chimney was Li Zhenhua knew very well that it was only a product from the 1970s and 1980s, and it was a big deal compared to his own ship from the 1990s. They quickly caught up with it and saw that the small boat was a Chinese cargo ship. They had never let a Chinese ship catch up. It was always the Chinese ships that ate the soot behind them, so they accelerated as hard as they could. Their ship was already obsolete. They heard their ship make a bigger explosion sound amidst the huge machine noise. It sounded like a boiler exploding. Soon their small ship slowly stopped. More black smoke came out from their chimneys and cabins. Li Zhenhua was looking at the captain standing next to him and said to Li Zhenhua and Shen Baoxiang: "Their boiler exploded and they want to be reincarnated with us." " Text Chapter 136 Inspection of the Yangtze River Shen Baoxiang immediately asked: "What's going on?" The captain explained to him: "Their fastest ship can run six to eight knots, which is about twenty miles an hour. Ours is ten Four quarters is about an hour and fifty miles. We are only running at a medium speed for forty miles. It seems that he is trying to compete with us for speed. Their boiler cannot hold it and explodes. In terms of technology, we are a new product in recent years. How can he be good at it when he has already lagged behind for almost twenty years? "It turns out that there are so many things going on here. Shen Baoxiang felt that he was so far behind that he wouldn't be able to do it even if he studied hard. He quietly said to Li Zhenhua: "Uncle." Li Zhenhua already knew what this title meant yesterday and immediately said: "Why did the eldest brother change his generation? Your old man said that we are brothers." "This is not good. Right? There must be some discussion in the gang." "You don't have to worry about others. I always like to talk about brothers." "That's fine. You and I are still brothers." "That's right. Well, we will always be brothers." Tu Baoxiang blushed and said, "Brother, do you think I'm okay? I don't know anything about it. I think I'm too backward." Li Zhenhua glanced at him and said, He said: "It's good to be able to recognize your shortcomings, but I think you will definitely be able to do it because you have a heart to make the country strong, so there is nothing you can't learn." Shen Baoxiang smiled but clenched his fists. Tightly: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you work hard and study, you will be able to do it." As soon as the Yangtze River reached Jiangyin, it became obviously narrower. They passed several American and British ships along the way, which greatly shocked Shen Baoxiang. I breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more relieved. If I were a ship like this and wanted to compete with foreigners for the "golden waterway" of the Yangtze River, there would be no problem. When they arrived in Jiangyin, they decided to go to Jiangyin first to take a look. They may have just received the telegram and everything is not ready yet. Everything is still the same as before. Li Zhenhua thinks it is better to see the complete picture. It turns out that the warehouses, warehouses, docks, etc. of the Qinggang are still in their hands, but everything seems to be very dilapidated. They need to be rearranged. But with the money and three months of time, I believe everything will be fine. In a word, if you want to start operating again, you have to clean it up well. Seeing the appearance of the local little boss, Shen Baoxiang knew that he was worried about money, so he said to him: "Money is not a problem, but you have to use your good skills." Come and guard this money for me and I will give it to you right away. But if you dare to spend a penny randomly, don¡¯t blame me for using family methods against you.¡± The little boss immediately said: ¡°Brother Uncle Xiang, I promise not to do it.¡± If you make any mistake in spending a penny, you will throw me into the Yangtze River to feed the bastard." "Okay! It's up to you, let's go!" But Shen Baoxiang wants to leave everyone behind. Seeing that Li Zhenhua had no intention of stopping the severe cold, he immediately refused their invitation. The freighter continued upstream to see Zhenjiang and then arrived at Jiangning. Jiangning was originally the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. After the Taiping Army's torment in the past few years, it looked dilapidated. In recent years, the war has stopped and everything has started to get better again. After all, it's because of this place. It was a land and water terminal that quickly prospered, but it had already been surpassed by Suzhou, Zhenjiang, and Shanghai. My own ship reluctantly made it to the dock. Although the dock next to it was in operation, it was still in a mess. Not to mention that it can't be compared with his own Fangchenggang, it can't be compared with Jiangyin. Li Zhenhua said to Shen Baoxiang: "In the future, if we do a good job here, we can suppress them from the beginning." Shen Baoxiang nodded his current heart. I was also thinking that if my shot failed, I would be sorry for the expectations of the entire gang, and at the same time I would be sorry for Mr. Li, who wanted to help me. He felt that he had no way out now and could only follow Mr. Li until the end, knowing that this was a bright road to change the Green Gang. Without Mr. Li, his Green Gang would have to wait to be disbanded. When they got to the shore, someone was already picking them up. This man was a big man who was younger than Shen Baoxiang. He seemed to be very influential here. The gang members respected them very much and sent them to an inn. Shen Baoxiang is acting as the chief helmsman as the second leader. The old man has recently grown old and has stopped taking care of everything in the gang. Shen Baoxiang has been left to handle everything in the gang. Shen Baoxiang has spent all his efforts on the affairs of the gang in the past few years, so the following is People also respect him very much. Jiangning is a big dock, so the person stationed in the Qing Gang is also a capable person. The sub-rudder here is called Wang Gang. He is very enthusiastic about the work of the gang.? Enthusiastic, but there are some things that some old people in the gang can't stand. For example, in order to get more income, he asked some gang members to go to work at the dock in Qichang. This was nothing but to increase their income, but some old people said He is spineless, but Shen Baoxiang strongly supports him because he can make his brothers eat more. Now when he saw Shen Baoxiang coming, he was naturally very enthusiastic. When Shen Baoxiang introduced Li Zhenhua to him, he saw that Li Zhenhua was so The young man didn't take Li Zhenhua seriously and just gave him a salute. He thought that Li Zhenhua was just a noble young man from the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Beijing. But when Shen Baoxiang introduced his deeds, his look of surprise when he heard that Li Zhenhua had done so many great things was extremely exaggerated. He immediately stated that he must do Jiangning's work well. He also said with a mysterious smile: "As soon as our ship comes to their dock, it will be finished." Shen Baoxiang said to him: "You can't be imaginary, you must ensure that we The first shot must be fired if we can succeed." Wang Gang said: "That will be too easy. On that day, I will evacuate our people in Qichang to see if they can still move." It turns out that he still has this trick. After hearing what Wang Gang said, Li Zhenhua felt that there would definitely be disputes with Qichang Company and Taikoo Company here in the future, so it would be better to say hello to the Governor of Liangjiang Province. In the future, he would prefer Qichang when handling disputes. Li Zhenhua thought, as long as it is me. If Liu Kun comes forward, he will not blindly favor Qichang and Taikoo. He only needs to treat Xinghua as Qichang and Taikoo and not favor foreigners. There is no recommendation this week. Please give it a strong support, friends. It¡¯s terrible to see the results falling down. Click, collect, vote monthly, and reward together. Text Chapter 137 Jinling Machinery Bureau After Li Zhenhua rested in the inn for a night, he was going to meet Liu Kunyi at the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang the next day. He asked Shen Baoxiang to sum up the preparations with the following. He and Yaqi went to see Liu Kunyi. Liu Kunyi, the Governor of Liangjiang, was in the Qing Dynasty. In his last years, he was also a person engaged in Westernization. He was quite enthusiastic about Westernization. When he heard that the prince-in-law arrived, he immediately opened the central door and fired cannons to welcome him. He also hurriedly welcomed him out. He had to respect his identity. When they arrived in front of the door, there were a few cannons, and the door was opened wide. There was a young gentleman standing there. Liu Kunyi had never seen Li Zhenhua, but he had heard people talk about this problem in his ears. He was in the court. It was often seen in the newspapers published in the palace, so the two of them shook hands and greeted each other, then entered the living room holding hands. Yaqi naturally had someone to welcome him into the inner hall, but Yaqi just entered the inner hall and said a few polite words to the female relatives and then left. She came out and sat down in the living room because she had always been with Li Zhenhua and met all kinds of people. Li Zhenhua has always been straightforward in his work. He briefly told Liu Kunyi that he would also enter the Yangtze River Shipping Company next year. When he heard that Li Zhenhua was also going to sail on the Yangtze River, Liu Kun immediately expressed his full support. He did not expect that Li Zhenhua would be so ambitious and would board several ships at once. He thought that the prince-in-law would only have one or two ships. It's just a small boat, but he has long heard about this prince-in-law. Some of his weapons are also bought from others. If he wants to engage in foreign affairs in the future, this person will use them in the future. He also has the intention to make friends. Once he saw that the matter was settled, he wanted to invite Li Zhenhua to have dinner in his house, but Li Zhenhua declined because he still had something to do. Liu Kun saw that he had no choice but to let him go. Liu Kunyi personally sent Li Zhenhua to the gate again and did not return home until Li Zhenhua's car was far away. As I walked, I thought: I, Zhang Zhidong, Li Hongzhang and other old people are called Westernization officials. In fact, compared with others, I actually know very little about Westernization. These are the people who are engaged in Westernization. They even started in many places earlier. It has surpassed the foreigners. It seems that if the Qing Dynasty wants to become truly powerful in the world, it will have to rely on him. But when he thinks of the situation in the court, Liu Kunyi can only shake his head. When Li Zhenhua arrived in Jiangning, he had one more thing to do, that is, he wanted to visit the Jinling Machinery Bureau. Sheng Xuanhuai had already gone back to the north. He wanted to go because he was afraid that others would not let him in. But Wang Gang said to him: "You can look at me if you want, uncle." Just ask someone to take you to see it immediately without having to find the governor." Li Zhenhua thought that it would be better to go in as a businessman without official escort so he could see more clearly, so he asked Wang Gang to arrange for someone to take him there. Wang Gang immediately said to a little boss next to him: "Little Third Son, please go in with my uncle." The Third Son agreed and said to Li Zhenhua: "Uncle, will you go now?" "Yes, I will go now." " Shen Baoxiang said to the third son: "You must protect your uncle and nothing will happen to you. " " Captain, please rest assured that entering the machine bureau is like entering your own home. I guarantee that nothing will happen. " Wang Gang also said: "Don't worry, going there is just like going to your own home." The car started and went directly to the Jinling Machinery Bureau. Li Zhenhua asked Yaqi to park the car far away from the factory gate, and the guards would not go in. He came down, changed his clothes into a businessman's appearance, and walked in with a swagger. Li Zhenhua's worries did not appear at all, and Li Zhenhua did not even ask personal questions. He hurriedly asked the third son: "Didn't anyone ask when you came in?" The third son replied: "Usually no one takes care of these things. If we want to come in, we can come in at any time. It turns out that there are still people who come in to steal things. The Machinery Bureau itself simply They couldn't solve it, so they went to our Captain Wang and asked him for help. So Captain Wang gave those thieves a lesson. After that, no one dared to come in and steal anything anymore. The Machinery Bureau is very grateful to us, Captain Wang. If our people don't come in and steal, others won't dare to come in. " Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "This is considered a military industrial enterprise. It's ridiculous to have others take care of it to prevent thieves. And then I came in all of a sudden and didn't even ask. It's not okay. If foreign spies come in, it won't be bad." But he also thought that this is the most backward military industrial enterprise in the world and no one will pay attention to this. If I take down this factory in the future, I must establish a strict system. No matter who wants to come in and out at will, that won't work. Even if the governor comes, it won't work. If anyone wants to come in, hey, without my approval, you will have wings. Don't even think about flying in. After entering the factory area, no one cared about the young man, but he was very familiar with it and greeted his acquaintances from time to time: "Oh, isn't it Angkor? Why did you come to work in the bureau after I haven't seen you in a few days?" "?Haha, it turns out they are three brothers. I have been here for more than a month. I am a committee member brother here. We can be regarded as official eighth-level officials. I will treat you to a drink when you have time. " "If you have time, be sure to invite me. " "sure. " When the man walked away, the third son spat: "What? You fucking want to invite me but you don¡¯t want to go yet. " Li Zhenhua asked strangely: "What's the matter? " The third son said: "This person is nothing. He was originally a pork seller on the street. He only sold small portions to others. He is really evil. Now he has transformed into a fucking committee member. Didn't you just come in after giving some benefits to that foreign guy? " Li Zhenhua nodded and understood. The two of them continued to walk forward and met another mistress and greeted him: "Brother Yang, it's rare! " "Hey, isn't this the third brother? It¡¯s been so long. " "It's better to stay in the bureau anyway. " "That's what you call being a minor official. Brother, I can only manage a few people." " "I'll treat you to another day. " "Okay, please wait for another day." " Li Zhenhua asked the mistress again what this person's original job was and said: "This person used to be a driver and now he is also an official here. " When Li Zhenhua saw this, he felt extremely annoyed. He looked up and saw a bunch of things in front of him glowing golden in the sun, so he asked the mistress: "What is that? " "Sir, that's the scrap pile in their factory. They keep throwing things into it every day. It makes people feel distressed. It's such good stuff. The scraps are all made of cannon shells and brass. We don't know what's going on. . ¡± Dear readers, I am moving forward in adversity. It is so pitiful that I have no recommendations and my collection is declining. Text Chapter 138 "Returnee" Xu Songlin "What's going on? That's a quality problem." At this time, someone next to him spoke. Li Zhenhua looked at the man and saw that the man was in his thirties, had an upright face, and was wearing a long gown, sitting there eating dry food in his hands. He ate like that on a cold day. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but clasped his fists at him and asked: "Sir, please tell me why there are so many scraps here." "If the machines are not good enough and the people are not good enough, how can they not produce defective products if they are just amateurs?" "That gentleman doesn't look like an outsider. "What's the use of me being an expert? I've been demoted from the fifth grade to the ninth grade. Now my duty is to look at this pile of rubbish." The man pointed at the grass next to him. Xi Shengzi said: "Did you see that? It's a precision lathe. It cost three thousand taels of silver to buy. Because there was no crane, they didn't bring it into the workshop. They just left it outside to soak in the rain. The prodigal sons are all a group of prodigal sons after half a year," the man said angrily. The fire in Li Zhenhua¡¯s heart is about to burst out. Damn it, this is also Li Hongzhang¡¯s industry in Beiyang. Why is it managed by such a group of wastes? Can we not lose money? The man glanced at Li Zhenhua and asked, "No, you're not from this bureau. Why are you asking?" Li Zhenhua could only say, "Just asking." "Don't talk nonsense! What do you do if you don't tell the truth?" Someone is here to arrest you. " "I am a businessman and I want to take over your factory." "No one is talking about this factory now!" But the young man on the side is unwilling. He immediately stood in front of Li Zhenhua and shouted to the man: "Xu Songlin, you are so bold and dare to show off your power to my father-in-law, have you lived enough?" But the man was not afraid of the mistress: "Now this man and that man are the same. I have seen too many people who can really do things." Li Zhenhua signaled the mistress not to argue with him and said kindly: "Sir, what do you mean by saying that there is no one in this factory?" That Xu Songlin sighed. He said in a tone: "Only a fool would want this factory. Now it loses money every year and it can't make anything and it's just a waste product. Who do you think wants it?" Li Zhenhua said again: "Then what should I do if I don't want to lose money?" Xu When Song Lin asked about this, he said: "It's not impossible, but this problem must be solved fundamentally, but it won't happen overnight." "How about you tell me, please?" "First solve the problem of overstaffing, and the second is to strengthen management and strict regulations. The system ensures that good products can be produced no matter who comes. Otherwise, you will continue to pay." "If Mr. Xu were in charge, you would use these methods, wouldn't you?" "Yes." He became suspicious again: "Tell me who you are so that I can understand." "I am Li Zhenhua and I came from Fangcheng." "What? You are the current brother-in-law of the merchant general in Fangcheng. "Master Li Zhenhua?" "That's right." Xu Songlin hesitated for a moment and then bowed his head. This little gangster didn't understand that this person's name was quite impressive when he said his name. My husband-in-law, he is not afraid, but he is afraid of this person's name. This person's name must be very awesome. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Songlin: "To be honest, Mr. Xu, I really want to take over this factory. I want to ask you to manage it. I wonder if you can agree?" "No, sir, I just learned it in the United States. In terms of academics in the mechanical manufacturing industry, I can be said to be the best in our class. Although I am very good at academics, I can only do design and management, and I can¡¯t control this situation. ¡± It turns out that this is also the case. A "returnee" like Zhan Tianyou with such a talent could not let go, so he hurriedly said to him: "That's okay. I will send you a general manager to help you and be in charge of design and manufacturing. How about this?" "What if?" That's okay, but I always feel that it's hard to deal with people who are just in name and get high wages for free. How do you deal with them, sir? See them again. Let¡¯s go outside for a drink. Can you please tell me carefully about the situation in this bureau?¡± Xu Songlin hesitated: ¡°Okay, but you are not allowed to go out during working hours. But they have never enforced the rules. Today I am happy that I broke the rules and went out with you." As the three of them walked towards the door, they heard the sound of playing cards coming from an office. It turned out to be. A bunch ofOfficials wearing top hats were gathering people there to gamble. They were shouting and playing there, but they were not afraid of anything. Xu Songlin said: "These people are just paid and do not work. Their wages are higher than those of workers." They are several times or more than ten times better." Xu Songlin paused and said: "These Chinese freeloaders are better, especially those foreign freeloaders. It's even worse that they don't know anything and are actually engineers. The name is dozens of times higher than ours." Xu Songlin pointed at a foreigner walking across from him and said, "Did you see that foreigner? His name is Pete. He was originally a farmer in the United States, but he only knows how to farm. Because he was related to the chief engineer, I got him. His annual salary was tens of thousands of taels. "At this time, I saw that Pete came over arrogantly and said to Xu Songlin in English: "I promise you to use it. I want to plant some flowers using the spent bullet casings as flower pots." Xu Songlin said to him in Chinese: "I'm sorry, I don't know how." After that, he continued walking out and Peter hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, you are a geek. Otherwise, no one in this bureau would do it. " "I don't have the time and I don't want to serve you." He ignored him and continued to walk out with Li Zhenhua and Xiaosanzi. But that Pete got angry and ran to Xu Songlin. Facing him, he said loudly: "You must do it for me or I will demote you." "It doesn't matter, just demote me. I have already been demoted from the fifth grade to the ninth grade. Can you still demote me to the tenth grade?" He and Li Zhenhua walked out of the door without paying any attention to them. Several people came outside. Li Zhenhua waved to the distance and a car drove over. A beautiful female driver was sitting in the driver's seat. Li Zhenhua immediately introduced Xu Songlin: "This is my wife." Then he said to Yaqi: "This is Mr. Xu from the factory. I want to invite him outside. have a drink." Text Chapter 139 Winning two machine rounds at the same time Xu Songlin was stunned by this series of surprises. Is this the Princess? Even Princess can drive a car. So what kind of person should this prince-in-law be? Xu Songlin got into the car with Li Zhenhua in an uneasy mood. Li Zhenhua said to the mistress: "Let's go find a better restaurant first. Then you accompany your wife to send a telegram to Vice President Sheng Xuanhuai. It says General Jinling Machinery Bureau." Just take them at the same time." When Xu Songlin heard this, did it mean that Sheng Xuanhuai had also become the prince's subordinate? Are there any other machine bureaus that have been assigned to him? Is the other bureau the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau? Isn't it that Shanghai, the largest machine manufacturer in East Asia, has already been owned by this prince? It¡¯s so unbelievable to think about. The third son led a few people to a restaurant by the river. The scenery here is good. From upstairs, you can see the scenery of the Yangtze River in the distance. The third son was going to lead a staff officer to the telegraph room to send a telegram to Sheng Xuanhuai. Of course someone drove the car to see him off. Li Zhenhua, Yaqi and Xu Songlin entered the door and were greeted by a waiter. Looking at the expressions of several people, he knew that they were welcome: "Please come upstairs!" Several people went upstairs and there was a place below. When they reached the hall and sat down on a seat near the window, the guards behind them found their seats and sat down inconspicuously. Er served them tea and then wiped the table and said to several people: "Sir, what would you like to order?" Li Zhenhua usually seldom eats out, but this time he wanted to make Xu Songlin sincerely, so he said: "What special dishes do you have here? Pick it up and serve it to us." He then asked Xu Songlin: "What kind of wine do you like?" Xu Songlin immediately said: "Sir, please don't spend too much money. Simply Just eat a little. I never drink. Besides, this is work time." This made Li Zhenhua admire this "returnee" and "geek" even more, so he smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Xu, you can't do that." From now on, I will be the chief engineer of our Jiangling Machinery Bureau, but I can¡¯t make do with it. Today I want to have a good chat with you.¡± If you can¡¯t let me drink, I¡¯m really not good at it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s just right,¡± Yaqi said on the side, ¡°He¡¯s not good at wine either. Then you should eat more food and drink less today.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it. It just so happens that we can talk for a while." The wine and food were quickly served. The two of them were just talking. Xu Songlin told Li Zhenhua a lot about the current situation of the Machinery Bureau and his future thoughts. Li Zhenhua listened attentively from time to time. After asking a few questions, the two of them basically determined the future fate of this machine bureau. At this time, a father and daughter who were singing came over. Their clothes were very shabby, but the girl was good-looking. Although she was said to be malnourished, she was very thin, but she had good features. Because they were talking about something, Li Zhenhua did not let them However, Chang Yaqi had someone give the old man a silver dollar, and the father and daughter left with great gratitude. Before leaving after dinner, Li Zhenhua said to Xu Songlin: "In the past two days, you will be responsible for understanding all the situation of this Machinery Bureau. You will be the deputy general manager and chief engineer in the future. You must master these situations. What should you do in the future? You have to take it." This is an important idea for you to be a family member from now on." "You and I must do our best to complete it." Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound from downstairs and a woman's cry. Li Zhenhua frowned and they all looked at each other. Come down below. There was no one in the hall downstairs. I saw a man who was obviously a playboy sitting on a chair. However, a group of his subordinates gathered around the singing girl. She fell to the ground and listened to the boy's sexual intercourse. He said with a smile: "You disturbed my mood, sir. You don't even know how many heads you have grown. Come on, give me a lesson for that old guy. Take that little girl away for me." Li Zhenhua's thugs were about to take action when they came up. Several of Li Zhenhua's guards were about to go up, but seeing that Li Zhenhua didn't say anything at first, they couldn't take action either. But when they saw Li Zhenhua's brows furrowed, they went up. Sun Feihu came up and said, "Wait, why are you doing this in broad daylight?" Now you just want to rob the girl?" "The thugs didn't care. Sun Feihu just stepped forward and grabbed the old man. Two of them went to pull the girl. They pulled a few guards outside and saw that you were too young. They didn't take us seriously. Two people went up and used a small grappling technique to treat the two people. The method was very simple, just use your own arms to block the opponent's elbow and then forcefully move the opponent's palm back. Immediately the boy screamed in pain. One guard kicked down a thug who was pulling a girl, and another guard punched the thug until he covered his stomach.He shouted. Two of the dude's subordinates, who looked like masters, stood up immediately when they saw that one of them had suffered a loss and said, "What's the matter? You dare to block our young master. It seems that you are impatient." He raised his hand and hit the guard. The dude shouted at the side: "Teach them a lesson for how dare they come to block my business without even asking the young master what I do." That boy was so arrogant. As soon as the guards moved their hands, a pistol appeared in each one's hand. Sun Feihu had already stood beside the boy, and the gun in his hand was already pointed at his head. Li Zhenhua saw that these boys had no ability, so he said to the guards One sentence: "Teach them a lesson and don't make things worse." After saying that, he went out with Yaqi and Xu Songlin. When the father and daughter saw that they were leaving, they hurriedly followed them out. They were also afraid that those people would retaliate against them in the future. They knelt down to Li Zhenhua outside the door: "Please save my life." Xu Songlin asked: "Who are they so arrogant?" The old man said: "The son of an assistant in the Evil Youth Bureau always bullies men and dominates women. We can't afford to offend them." Xu Songlin glanced at Li Zhenhua and Li Zhenhua smiled at him, meaning you see what to do? Xu Songlin said: "Then let them go to my house first. We can talk about the rest after we solve the machine bureau matter." In fact, Li Zhenhua also wanted Xu Songlin to solve this problem, so he agreed when he saw what he said. So Xu Songlin told them where he lived and asked the father and daughter to go to his home first and wait for a few days. After a few days, the problem would naturally be solved. I believe that without his father's power, he would never be like this again. Bullying. At this time, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling could be heard in the house. The guards would not let them go easily. Text Chapter 140 Two new companies When they got in the car outside the door, Li Zhenhua took Xu Songlin back to the bureau and said to him: "You have mastered the situation first and we can start working immediately when Sheng Xuanhuai comes back from Tianjin." Xu Songlin held Li Zhenhua's hand excitedly Said: "My lord, I have finally been looking forward to this day. If your lord presides over our Jinling Machinery Bureau, it will be saved. I thank you sir on behalf of everyone." "You are welcome. Let us all work together to build our country into the strongest in the world." A big country allows them to re-recognize our country." After saying goodbye to Xu Songlin and Li Zhenhua, he boarded the ship and continued his inspection work. The situation was almost the same. He didn't even visit other places. He just went to Hankou to meet another Westernizer. The main official Zhang Zhidong (Zhang Zhidong had been transferred from the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to the Governor of Huguang at this time) has some things that require his support, so this inspection mission will be completed. In the late Qing Dynasty, Hankou was just a metropolis on the Yangtze River. There were no trains at that time. Li Zhenhua came here just to discuss the railway issue with Zhang Zhidong. The original Lugou Bridge (Lugou Bridge in Fengtai District, Beijing) and Han Railway were built by the Belgians. Such a small country came to China to make money. But if they have themselves, they can no longer make money from China. Although they were going upstream, because the boat was powerful and fast, they arrived in Hankou very quickly. They first stayed at an inn arranged by the Qing Gang, and then Li Zhenhua and Shen Baoxiang separated. Li Zhenhua went to Wuchang to meet the Governor of Huguang, Zhang Zhidong, and Shen Baoxiang stayed in Hankou and Wuchang. , Hanyang and other three places inspected their own industries on the Yangtze River. Zhang Zhidong was a relatively capable local official in the late Qing Dynasty. He was very interested in Li Zhenhua's visit. He was very supportive of Li Zhenhua's suggestion that Xinghua Company engage in shipping on the Yangtze River. He quickly reached a consensus on the following matter. Li Zhenhua planned to build the railway from Guangzhou to Hankou, but Zhang Zhidong preferred to build the section from Wuchang to Beijing first. This was mainly due to funding issues. Zhang Zhidong's considerations were not unreasonable. At this stage, Li Zhenhua proposed to build the entire railway from Guangzhou to Beijing. . This is a big deal. First, where does the money come from? Second, the lack of technical strength has restricted the construction of this railway. Li Zhenhua thought about it and finally made a decision, that is, to carry out the entire line at the same time. He knew that it would not be easy to get their support and use their enthusiasm to solve the main north-south railway artery in China at once. It is easy to say that the problem of money is to attract investment and raise money. To solve the technical problem, it is easy to say that the railway construction group headed by Zhan Tianyou is the main one. Those students of Zhan Tianyou have also gone into battle to use their technical strength. Spread out and let your assistants lead the students, and then you can start building railways from various places. When Zhang Zhidong heard this, he was overjoyed and felt that this Li Zhenhua was really not a phony, he was capable of solving problems, and he had a way. This made him have a great impression of Li Zhenhua, and the two became good friends in terms of interests. ??This means that small countries like Belgium should not think of China to make money from the Lu (Beijing) Railway. In this way, the north-south corridor led by Zhang Zhidong proposed to the Qing government that the project to be constructed by Xinghua Group Company entered the agenda. A few days later, Li Zhenhua returned to Shanghai. Sheng Xuanhuai had also returned. He carefully explained the situation of his trip to Li Zhenhua and then said to Li Zhenhua: "The two masters of the machine bureau did not ask for money. He said that you will definitely help Beiyang in the future. At that time, he will be the one to benefit. It will be more than a few million taels in the future. In addition, Chaoting also agreed and gave them a big burden. They were also very happy. They just said that when you have money, don't forget to be filial to Chaoting. "Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "This Lord Zhongtang is really a bad character. He doesn't want money, but I have to give it. The Beiyang Navy is too pitiful. Let's solve the one million taels of silver for them first. Then replace the cannons on the warships with rapid-fire cannons, which will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Navy. In the future, the artillery shells and rice from the south will be necessary for him. " "You two are really convincing. You really understand each other and help each other." Li Zhenhua also told Sheng Xuanhuai about his situation in the past ten days, which made Sheng Xuanhuai admire him. It is not easy for a north-south transportation artery to be put on the agenda just like this. Han Zhichao and Gao Qiang, who came to prepare to take over the two factories, also arrived. They each brought a battalion of security teams. Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai and a few of them first made some plans and decided that the manager of the Shanghai head office would be Han Zhichao. The chief engineer was a newly promoted rookie. In case new. Jiangning Jinling Machinery Corporation has the same approach. The general manager is Gao Qiang and the chief engineer is Xu Songlin. Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai and the four specific bosses sat down together, they discussed and laid out the current problems and then?Self-led their own security teams into their respective factories. As soon as Han Zhichao and Wan Yixin entered the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau and the Jinling Machinery Bureau, Sheng Xuanhuai announced that the property rights of the bureaus would be under the name of Yunnan General Li Zhenhua starting from today. That means that from now on, these two machine bureaus belong to Li Zhenhua. As a private industry, it has now been renamed: "Xinghua Group Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Corporation" and "Xinghua Group Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Corporation". When Jiangning Gaoqiang and Xu Songlin entered the factory, they no longer called the bureau. The security guards put all the passages on guard and summoned all the "idlers" to a meeting outside the office building. The wolf-like security guards gathered those Everyone was driven together, and some people were cursing in a low voice: "Who the hell is so bold? Are you even messing up our poker game?" A security guard hit him with the butt of a gun: "Stop talking nonsense and shut up. Hurry up and gather outside. The boss wants to lecture you." Seeing how dare those soldiers were to fight, they all became honest. Sheng Xuanhuai stood in front of those people and said to everyone: "From now on, this Jinling Machinery Bureau has become a leader. All the property rights below have been officially canceled and transferred to the name of Xinghua Group Company. The current name is "Xinghua Group Corporation Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Branch". In a word, the original Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is gone and your work is over. . But you must explain to the new company leader that your last working period is three days. If you dare not report, you will be responsible for the consequences. You will report the specific report to the general manager, Mr. Gao Qiang, or the deputy general manager, Mr. Xu Songlin. Ask them for help if you don¡¯t understand anything.¡± Text Chapter 141 Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Branch After the first meeting was over, the second meeting was about to involve workers working in the workshop and grassroots technicians. Sheng Xuanhuai said to them: "Dear fellow workers, I will announce two things to you today. The first is that I will I am no longer an official in Beiyang. From now on, I am the deputy general manager of Xinghua Group Company. Secondly, the original Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was officially abolished. We workers are from today onwards, we are members of the Jiangning Manufacturing Branch of Xinghua Group Company. In other words, we will still be a family. Our salary will be increased by two silver dollars per person per month. From tomorrow, all people will enter the company's school for technical training, and all technical staff will undergo technical assessment tomorrow. " Those Chinese people are easy to say. After directly announcing it, they can go wherever they came from. But there are some problems with those foreigners. Several foreigners who had just heard the news ran over. As soon as they saw these people, they asked: "Why did you sell the Machinery Bureau without our consent?" Sheng Xuanhuai smiled at him He suddenly said in Chinese: "If you were the boss of this company, would you still want a company like this? Besides, it is the boss's responsibility to sell the company or not. There is no need to tell you." That bastard couldn't understand Chinese at all, so he had to Looking at his boss Robert, the American chief engineer Robert was speechless, but in the blink of an eye he said again: "I'm going to sue you for breaking the contract. You must know that your actions will be punished by law." "You have to compensate us." Gao Qiang smiled and said to the American General Workers: "Okay, then we will see you in court for your crimes of dereliction of duty, corruption, and human rights violations in the past few years. I can't even count them." How many crimes have you committed? Mr. Xu, please sort it out for him and see how many times you can shoot him." Xu Songlin immediately said: "Manager Gao, I will definitely let Mr. Robert spit out the money he embezzled. They will also ask the court for instructions to shoot him ten times. Security guards, go and seal the small white building to see how much evidence they can find inside." The security battalion commander immediately took action and shouted to his men: "Follow me. Come." A dozen soldiers rushed towards a small white building nearby. These soldiers are not afraid of foreigners. In their eyes, those foreigners are trash and their defeated generals. The soldiers rushed into the building, kicked out the people inside, and then stood sentry in front of the door. This is Robert's private place. He has done so many shameful things here. Now that he can't get in, his face will change immediately. From his bedroom and small vault, there were more than two million taels of cash and banknotes alone. In addition, there were US dollars, pounds, various bonds, countless jewelry, etc. But there was nothing he should have. Drawings and other things, Xu Songlin took out a so-called graduation diploma that he used to scare people. Xu Songlin said unceremoniously: "This is a fake. I know what American diplomas look like." The soldiers searched it out. Robert was completely dumbfounded by those things. He was simply a fake. He didn't graduate from a real school at all, but was just a technician who had worked in a factory for a few days. His annual salary was hundreds of thousands taels. He is defrauding the Chinese people of their hard-earned money. His small building alone was built with more than one million taels of silver from the Machinery Bureau. Xu Songlin said to him, "How about it? Should you go to court to sue Mr. Robert, or should we sue him?" Xu Songlin pointed to the clothes in the wardrobe that Robert put in the corner of the room and said to him: "This is The clothes you were wearing when you first came to China, you were dressed like a bastard. You had an annual salary of 300,000 taels, but what did you do for this machine bureau?" Robert's lips trembled and he couldn't say a word. I can't speak. Gao Qiang said to his security guards: "Go and search other places carefully and never let them take anything away from us." Someone outside the door reported that they heard the report of the sentry outside the door and Gao Qiang and Xu Songlin arrived. A seductively dressed woman stood in front of the door with two suitcases in her hands. It turned out that she had been hiding in Robert's bedroom just now and did not come out. Now that she heard those people scolding Robert, she was holding two suitcases. She was about to run away but the security guard in front of the door stopped her. Gao Qiang asked: "What do you do?" The woman immediately sat on the ground and started crying. This made Gao Qiang very disgusted. Xu Songlin said to Gao Qiang: "This is the wife of a man in charge who was attracted by Robert, and it turns out that the one has no shame. He asked his wife to sleep with Robert, and Robert gave him a lot of money." Gao Qiang said with a face: "Shameless thing, open the box." The woman leaned on the box to prevent the soldiers from stepping forward and kicked her. She kicked a pile of stinky meat and rolled it aside, then opened the two boxes. It turned out that there were some silver coins, jewelry and some of her clothes inside. A security guard cursed: "Fucking shame."?Thrown them all to foreign countries. It hurts you to sleep with foreigners! Leave the stuff behind and let her go! "Several security guards came forward and threw her clothes to her and let her go. After hearing about the situation in Jiangning, Li Zhenhua also ran over. After three days of inspection, the private money of Chinese and foreign managers alone reached nearly 600. Wan Liang is just a kitchen manager. He has more than a thousand taels of silver in his hand. Chinese money is really worthless. Such a lot of silver. Li Zhenhua really wanted to shoot all these people, but he still endured it. All property was confiscated and all the officials and foreigners were driven away. The next day's technical examination was in progress. Several foreigners did not enter the examination room at all because they knew nothing, but they were just hanging out in China. The salary of technicians who have worked for many years. Xu Songlin still knows the level of others, so he needs to train them more in the future, otherwise they will be eliminated. But then they can't blame others and can only say that they are not good. That¡¯s all. There are no more committee members or assistants because this is already the personal property of my husband. No one dares to say that he is wrong. No one dares to go to his company to say that he just returns it. It is their business to report to their own yamen how much money they spent to recover the cost. A notice was posted in front of the canteen of Jiangning Machinery Branch: Jiangning Machinery Manufacturing Bureau will change its name from today on: Jiangning Machinery Manufacturing. Starting from this month, the wages of all workers in the public company will increase by two silver dollars. They will work 26 days a month and have one day off every seven days. A medical office will be set up within the company. In the future, workers can receive simple medical treatment nearby. If their family members need medical treatment, the medical expenses will be one dollar. . Workers can directly report waste, sabotage, malfeasance, and sabotage within the company. Those who fail to report the situation will be deemed to be guilty of the same crime. Workers have the right to make reasonable suggestions and will be given heavy rewards based on the actual situation. Workers, technicians, engineers, etc. must undergo technical training. Those who fail to pass the training will be dismissed, and those with outstanding academic performance will be rewarded. Text Chapter 142 The world begins to pay attention In a word, there are no more freeloaders, no more amateurs, no more amateur leaders, and no more experts who get paid for free. The rules and regulations in the factory were established. At the same time, a training center was set up in the factory to be responsible for the training of employees. All employees were not in a hurry to get them to work. They conducted technical training in the morning and were responsible for cleaning up the factory environment in the afternoon. When the technicians were not teaching, they became Every day, students ask the workers about certain situations in production and encourage employees to put forward reasonable suggestions for production. They help each other and learn from each other. Although there is no production during this period, they have made a qualitative leap. Everyone has improved. A big step. The specific thing will be that the chief engineer alone has the final say. All useless people will be removed from the factory from the date of announcement. The newly arrived security guards in the factory all have unfamiliar faces. Those people are not recognized as relatives. When they see the grassroots workers, they respect them more than their elders. When they see those who have been eliminated, their faces change and they become more vicious than they say. If you don't listen, you'll be beaten and kicked. If you don't obey, then you'll be put in a solitary room. They don't care whether you have a cap on your head or whether you have patches on your chest. It doesn't matter if you're wearing official uniform. Knocked off the hat, tore off the patch, and took them away in one fight. Your official position is no bigger than our boss. We don¡¯t listen to anyone, we only listen to the boss alone. The other people didn't dare to make a fuss. A few people were muttering to one side: "I just paid the money. I have been a committee member for less than a month." Another person said with a sad face: "I just gave it to the superiors. They promised to give me a salary increase next month, but I invested it in vain." "You can't let them take the money in vain." "Forget it, it's shady for you to take it. It's okay if you have a conscience, but if you don't have a conscience, there's nothing you can do if they just don't admit it. " "Besides, aren't they coming down too? Let's just suffer the loss. We'll have to learn some serious things in the future. It¡¯s hard to talk about giving gifts after you go to work.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you keep mumbling that you haven¡¯t lost your wife at all, right? You can earn it after the money is gone.¡± Every newspaper in the sea has published these two machines. News of the game changing hands. People have already had a preliminary understanding of the newly emerged Xinghua Group Company. Everyone knows that this is a company owned by the Qing Dynasty. They are a group of passionate men who are not afraid of the outside world and are not afraid of the inside. It turns out that the coins issued by Xinghua Bank are here. It was hard to eat, but with the rapid development of Xinghua Company's business in Shanghai and Jiangning, those coins quietly began to circulate. After all, it¡¯s the powerful people who look at the silver dollars and don¡¯t earn them. Isn¡¯t that a fool? Newspapers from all over the world published this news, which inadvertently caused a small earthquake in Shanghai. It made people even more confused about Xinghua Group Company, which was only revealed a few years ago. At the same time, it also attracted the attention of some interested people. The group company has once again become the focus of world attention. The British attach great importance to this emerging businessman. The British Minister to China and Hurd, the Qing government's chief tax officer, quickly agreed that this is a person worthy of attention in the future. They should pay more attention to him in the future. Now he is doing this on the Yangtze River. The biggest first-hand blow is that American companies do not have a great impact on the UK because China's market is too big. No matter how powerful they are, they will have no impact on themselves. Just instructing those concerned to take note. The Japanese government has long since paid attention to him and decided to win over him. The proud Nicholas II of Russia and his Finance Minister Vitt said: "This is nothing special. No matter how great a person's ability is in a backward country, it is useless. Sooner or later, he will be swallowed up by this backward country. "But the shrewd finance minister said: "This person should not be underestimated, for fear that he will become our enemy in the future." "No, the old woman in the Qing Dynasty will not let him control the army. She is more afraid of the Han people than anyone else. In controlling the army, she just trusted the group of Manchu soldiers under her. "Your Majesty, the French suffered a lot the year before last. He just used some militiamen to make the French suffer. Now Annan is saving him, but that is his shadow. There is no evidence, but judging from the situation, it is correct." "How could the French be defeated by him?" "A few years ago, it turned out that the French were killed by the Qing people because they disappeared in the Qing Dynasty. They once sent troops to the Qing Dynasty, but this Chinese Li used a bunch of ragtag people, the militia, to defeat the French. Thousands of them were captured by him and they have not come back. " "Then we don't have to pay special attention to him. ?¡± ¡°Yes, we must pay attention to this person.¡± The American Qichang Company quickly reported it to the country.?But the United States is now busy dealing with Spain and several countries in South America and cannot care about what is happening in China. The most important thing for Li Zhenhua is the Germans. He has purchased a large amount of arms equipment and ship steel plates from the Germans. Although the Germans have made money, they are very concerned about the rise of Li Zhenhua and his Xinghua Group Company. This is not about their economic intelligence that has been placed on the table of German Emperor Wilhelm II. The arrogant German Emperor and his Foreign Minister Pilov are studying Li Zhenhua. The document reads: In just a few years, Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Group Company ordered and imported a large number of Krupp cannons, high-quality marine steel plates, a large number of machinery and equipment, and some of the world's most advanced technical equipment from Germany. But they are unique. Some weapons cannot be ignored. They have produced a small direct-fire gun called a mortar, which we cannot produce. But according to the military attach¨¦ in China, this is an extremely useful weapon for infantry. If we have Having this weapon will make our powerful German infantry even more powerful. According to intelligence, they are developing an underwater aircraft ship that can be used for underwater attack. But due to their strict confidentiality measures we have not received any further information. But in general, it seems that they have no ill intentions towards us and can be a good partner of ours in the future. When they are in front of Russia, they will definitely have a fight with the Russians, which is a good thing for us. After seeing these situations, William II became interested in Li Zhenhua and thought that he could exchange some technologies with him. What he was interested in was the new mortar used by the army, but His Majesty the Emperor had no interest in that kind of underwater machine ship. Because his current superstition is still about giant ships and cannons, and he simply looks down upon the things developed by the backward Chinese. However, he still feels that if he can use the Chinese, he must use them because they are not very friendly to their enemy the French. In the future, they can also contain the Russians. If they agree to cooperate, they can use some technology to exchange with them. It is a fixed rule in the world that the enemy who supports his enemy will not suffer. Soon Germany began to carry out comprehensive cooperation with Li Zhenhua. Text Chapter 143 Return to Fangcheng Li Zhenhua returned to Fangcheng. He had been out for a few months and saw new changes in Fangcheng. This made Li Zhenhua naturally very happy. When the group of people heard that the big boss was back, they all ran over. Li Zhenhua was very few who didn't come. Why don't you just call everyone to come? First, listen to the report and everyone will see it. Then I will inform everyone and everyone will come together. Li Zhenhua first introduced Sheng Xuanhuai to everyone about the situation in Dongying and Shanghai. Everyone was very happy about this situation, especially since he could produce refined oil and no longer had to buy refined oil from foreign companies, and he also started exporting. Part of the refined oil products means that Dongying is no longer just spending money but can make a profit. There will be benefits soon in Haihai. It will definitely be much faster there than in Dongying. Two military industrial companies and one inland waterway shipping are all gold industries. If it goes well, it will be profitable in the first half of the year. What I¡¯m talking about here is about making money. But this requires a large amount of initial investment on our part: For river shipping, we must first invest in three 1,000-ton passenger and cargo mixed-loading ships. Li Zhenhua turned to You Xueshi and asked: "Have you received the telegram I sent you? Do you have one now?" Have you designed a ship for inland navigation?" You Xueshi immediately stood up and said to Li Zhenhua: "We already have the design work, we are already in production, and we will be able to deliver it in the spring of next year. We just want you to take a look. "Alright, please stay with us for a while and we can continue talking." "Also, I took down the two machine bureaus in Beiyang. These two machine bureaus are worth 12 million taels, but that Li Zhongtang is. I don't think it makes sense to give him one million taels of silver first and then give them a batch of rice, cannons and shells. Anyway, we must bear the burden of the Beiyang Navy. But if we let them have 12 million taels of silver, After equipping them, they will be more powerful and it will be our own to make money later. Then we can comprehensively consider the issue of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway. Put these stalls and then go to three years after the construction will be completed after three years (in the Sino -Japanese War). As long as our first step is to defeat the Japanese, then we can challenge the world. Then we can make the great Chinese nation the most powerful nation in the world according to our own plans. The meeting continued in the afternoon, and Tang Jiong also arrived. Li Zhenhua said to him, "You came very quickly, and you flew here, right?" "No, I came by train. We estimate that you will arrive in the next two days, so I will come over." "It will be much more convenient once the railway is opened." "That's great. I don't know when it will be opened." "It has just been completed and will be put into trial operation for a while. We will see you soon." Money." "So how is it going from Guangzhou to Nanning?" Zhan Tianyou immediately continued: "This section has also started. Although the distance is longer, the roadbed is relatively flat. There are not so many bridges and cave roadbeds that have been completed. "We have already started laying the rails." "Pay attention to the quality issue. Quality is the first priority." "Don't worry, I will ensure the quality." We will strive to take over the Beijing-Guangzhou line within three years of the survey. Is there any problem? " "No problem. Our technical strength can fully meet the needs of these young people who learn quickly and work hard and are very responsible. Many of them have been recruited abroad. The railway department is interested in these young people who are willing to leave even though they say they offer a lot of salary. "That's great. This also proves that your personality is high enough. That's great for them." I'm all attracted to you. Do you estimate how many construction units we can form at the same time if we can separate them? " "If the terrain is relatively simple, we can divide it into more than a dozen technical units. If the terrain is more complex, it will be less, but the composition will be smaller. There will be no problem with seven or eight units. If there are more than a dozen units in one year, there will be no problem with other migrant workers being recruited locally." People all laughed. From Li Zhenhua to every leader below, they all have their own unique personality charm, bringing together those who are determined to strengthen their country, and they will work hard for the prosperity of this country. This made Sheng Xuanhuai, who attended the meeting for the first time, feel hope. Without such a leader, it is not easy to make his country prosperous and prosperous. He was glad that he could join such a group. The next day, another famous person came to Fangcheng. This person was Zhu Baosan, who was famous in Shanghai. He was also a famous industrialist who saved the country in the late Qing Dynasty. After his death, a road in the French Concession was named after him. This is Li Zhenhua?The reason why the intelligence department invited him here had a frank talk with him. Zhu Baosan immediately ran over to them without saying anything. He knew that if he wanted to do anything in China, he could only rely on people like Li Zhenhua. It was impossible to rely on the backward and ignorant Qing government. Li Zhenhua and Sheng Xuanhuai received him warmly. Li Zhenhua's arrangements for the two were as follows. Sheng Xuanhuai would appear as the boss of Xinghua Group in the future, that is, as Li Zhenhua's deputy and senior think tank, that is, as a senior staff member of the Qing Dynasty. But unlike them, this person has full decision-making power. From now on, Zhu Baosan will be responsible for the specific affairs of Shanghai, including finance, military industry, commerce, shipping, industry and other specific affairs. Now he needs to have more contact with Zhao Hongyan to understand the urban operations of Fangcheng and lay a good foundation for future work. Of course, now he does not appear as a government in Shanghai but is responsible for the work of some of his own large enterprises. The first thing that Sheng Xuanhuai needs to do now is to formulate a set of standard systems. The most typical ones in China in the past were guns and cars, which were all "IWC" brands. That's what they were. Take guns as an example: Guns from China to the Anti-Japanese War. There are dozens of calibers and different ranges from more than a dozen countries, which will add huge difficulties to future war logistics support work. The difficulty of this work is very great. The current weapon system of the defense city is its own gun, which is modeled on the German Mauser, and the caliber is reduced to 7.62. The heavy machine gun is the French Hotchkiss cannon, and the French 37 rapid-fire Artillery, mainly German 105 and 150. Why is this because Li Zhenhua chose the best things in the world, so the supporting products of his own arsenal are also based on these. Text Chapter 144 Developing Standardization However, as the weapons of the Qing army at that time, they were affected by the political, economic and other aspects of the time. Their weapons were various, some were British, some were German, some were legal, some were American, some were Belgian, and some were made in the Czech Republic. . There are all kinds of things, so their weapons cannot be unified. The caliber is 11 mm, 9 mm, 7 mm, 7.62 mm, etc. If Li Zhenhua, a modern man, is still the same as before, that is absolutely not allowed. In the future, weapons must be specialized, unified, and standardized, and they will no longer be the same as before. After several years of hard work, most areas in Jiangnan have their own weapons, and the standards will be unified. In the future, production will not be diversified. There must be a standard. If you don't produce complicated things, others will import them. It's easy to say that it depends on your own face. Although it is difficult to unify now, I am only taking care of the weapons of the Beiyang Navy, so it is not a big problem. The shells of the large-caliber artillery on the warships are produced by Tianjin and Jiangning. What I need to solve is the Beiyang Navy in the future. The division's rapid guns and some of the 105- and 150-caliber secondary battery shells are easy to talk about, but the large-caliber main gun shells are very difficult. However, through joint efforts with the Beiyang Navy and the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, these problems have been solved. was resolved. Relatively speaking, as long as Sheng Xuanhuai solves these problems, everything else will be fine. But the weapons produced in the future will have to be implemented according to new standards. Sheng Xuanhuai's work was going very smoothly. He specially organized a team called the standardization team and recruited talents from all walks of life to quickly complete a series of data for Fangcheng. Then he asked Dongying and Shanghai to each produce a standard document. After that, everyone Just implement it according to this standard. If something new appears in the future, you should check whether it is practical. If it is practical, then you can let new standards appear and then add it. Sheng Xuanhuai's work efficiency was very high. Li Zhenhua was very happy. He knew that this Chinese businessman had made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty in his life. With the purpose of saving the country through industry, he had made many firsts with his own efforts. So he said to Sheng Xuanhuai. : "With your ability, you can do many things. Now that you appear as the vice president of Xinghua Group, you can handle everything by yourself. You don't have to consult me ??for instructions on everything because my ability is also limited. Let's work together to solve the problem. This is our purpose to do a great job." Sheng Xuanhuai said with emotion: "When I got here, I have seen that your management method is to delegate power to your subordinates and let them use their full talents. You have great trust in us subordinates. Just by relying on this, we people will unite around you and do our best to do a good job." "You people are all the leaders of our country, just like our railway general manager Zhan Tianyou, who is responsible for the Nankun line. At one point, his life was sealed. I think this is not possible. You must pay attention to rest. If you don't pay attention to your health, I will let him teach and prevent him from going to the front line again. He is better now. But if you don't pay attention, He will go to the front line again. If this doesn't work, I will do everything possible to protect these talents and prevent them from getting sick from overwork. I will check their health every year and stop their work immediately if they are found to be sick. Let them go and recuperate. When they are well, they can work for our country again. "As the year is approaching, Li Zhenhua asked Zhao Hongyan to issue a notice in the name of the municipal government and the head office, asking all units to prepare for this year. The year-end summary work should also have a vision for next year's work. A statistics team of the municipal government also sent some forms to the following for each unit to fill in carefully. After that, there must be a systematic number to explain the problem. The most important thing is that the problem will come out when the numbers are compared. The good and bad results of an enterprise are all expressed in numbers. For example, a mine spent 100,000 yuan on expenses last year and sold 120,000 yuan on sales. The profit is still the same this year on 20,000 yuan. Then I need to ask this person to explain the reasons. If there is no reason, the unit will be explained. If the leader is a conservative person who is not good at creating new things, then he is just a mediocre person and should be replaced. If the expenses are high and the income has not increased, then there is a problem and we should pay attention to see what the cause is. If there are other figures. If there is no action but profits increase, then the leader has made a lot of efforts and used his brain to work hard. No matter what, the situation like the original Jiangnan Machinery Bureau cannot happen. It is absolutely impossible to lose money every year and compensate every year. Send those forms to all units and actively fill them in. They will submit the reports soon. Those numbers are all in the heads of the leaders. How many things they have done does not need to be told by others. It is all in their own minds next year. There is also a certain plan for the work of these elites selected from all over China. They will not stick to the rules. They are all working hard to increase output value. Whether it is military industry or civilian use, they all have their own plans. For example, a car factory has an output of 3,000 vehicles this year and plans for next year.From 5,000 vehicles, it will exceed 10,000 vehicles next year. Shipbuilding companies' production this year will be 20,000 tons, and next year it will be 30,000 tons or more. Several giants in Fangcheng, including Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai, Tang Jiong, Zhao Hongyan, Zhu Baosan, Wang Xin and Yaqi, were carefully studying the production of statistical reports for enterprises such as Jiangning Machinery Manufacturing Branch and Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Branch. The company is a property liquidation registration form. At the end of the registration form is a profit summary statement. This year's gross production value has exceeded 300 million silver dollars. The profit part has reached more than 50 million silver dollars. At this time, Fangcheng's profit income has reached the Qing Dynasty. The income was nearly one-third, and the Qing government's annual income was more than 70 million taels. Next year¡¯s output value will exceed 400 million silver dollars because we will add another gold industry next year, that is, inland shipping and hydropower development, the two machine factories in Jiangning and Shanghai, etc. Several of them, especially Sheng Xuanhuai, never imagined that the profit income of a small Fangcheng would reach one-third of the largest country in the world. But he also knew that if his country did not have those corrupt officials, there would be no corruption in it. With the extreme squandering of those people and the freeloading of those Manchu descendants, the income of the entire Qing Dynasty was more than tens of millions, and how much output value and profit could this money produce. Text Chapter 145 A new scene Jincheng, the bank president of Xinghua Group, told Li Zhenhua clearly that he now has this money in his account. Because of our good reputation, we have absorbed a large amount of deposits. A large number of private individuals and companies come to our bank to deposit money. We must make deposits. New investments or just the interest on those customers' deposits would leave us breathless. Haha, it turns out that if you have too much money, you will have to worry about it. These core figures quickly decided on the investment direction for next year: Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Yangtze River Shipping, Dongying investment, and Shanghai investment. The automobile factory will expand the second phase of the project next year and prepare components for two cruisers. Two universities will be built simultaneously in Shanghai and Beijing. Seven large hospitals integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine have been built in Dongying, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Kunming, Guangzhou and Fangcheng. Increase worker wages: Ordinary workers will receive an increase of two yuan per person, senior workers will receive an increase of four yuan, and special workers will receive an increase of six yuan. The allowances of military officers and soldiers have also been increased accordingly. Li Zhenhua knows that this investment has both long-term and short-term investments, such as inland shipping and Yangtze River shipping. It is estimated that the cost can be recovered within the year. Of course, it is impossible for him to set the price as high as the Americans, but it is estimated that the cost can be recovered within the year. There may also be profits. The investment in the automobile factory will not be recovered next year in 1892, but it can be recovered in 1893. But Dongying, where Shanghai will have income next year, will no longer need to invest any more before the end of 1894, and they can support themselves there. For other public welfare undertakings, there is no need to think about recovering the investment in schools, but hospitals must have some returns. Yu Ruixiang was the person who succeeded Wang Xin and was in charge of finance. He sorted out the projects that needed investment and handed them over to Wang Xin, and then Li Zhenhua, Wang Xin, Sheng Xuanhuai and others discussed and made the final decision. Lu Wenping is an expert who specializes in studying tax issues. He has studied tax policy issues in various countries in Thailand and Spain for many years. Now Li Zhenhua has handed over his tax and customs issues to Lu Wenping, and also asked him to report to the Qing government. The General Taxation Department must also pay more attention to fully understand their actions. Fangcheng adopts a tax farming system. As long as you pay the money to the county-level Yamen of the Qing government, you don't have to think about anything else. You can just focus on your own production. For example, Dongying has its own fiefdom and you can do whatever you want. The court will not care about how production is carried out there. But if it is exported, it will involve customs issues. Li Zhenhua himself has to consider these tax issues because there are still future problems. The taxation that China has implemented for more than 2,600 years has mainly been based on agricultural taxes. In the past dynasties, sometimes it was based on Ding, and sometimes it was based on land, but it was all based on land collection. Now Li Zhenhua's company has embarked on a new journey. If he had to pay taxes for the fast lane, it would be a pretty large amount. But because they adopted a tax package system, they did not pay much tax to the local government. Besides, if you hand it over to them, it won't be thrown into a dog hole. Those corrupt officials will fatten themselves and lose weight in the world. After Hai Li Zhenhua and Sheng Xuanhuai left, Han Zhichao, the manager of the Shanghai Corporation and the chief engineer, was a newly promoted rookie and started their drastic reforms. The work starts from the grassroots level. Those basic workers are the main force in production. They are the grassroots management personnel that we must rely on. If they are suitable, keep them. If they are not suitable, we will eliminate them. In one word, those who are good will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be eliminated. These are all easy to say. The main reason is that it is difficult to deal with those who come in based on connections. Han Zhichao adopted the method of collecting old debts. When you come, I will pursue your corruption, malfeasance, and wasteful behavior with you. Anyway, as long as you come, I will pursue the wrong with you. Forget it, anyway, it turns out that the Qing government used this method. I won¡¯t give you the extra money, and it¡¯s up to you to deduct it yourself while doing errands for the superiors. This is to let people find ways to arrange their own people, so that the company becomes a pit that can never be filled. There are also those who don¡¯t work and just come to get money. That¡¯s easy to say. Now this is a private enterprise, and no one dares to offend this private person. I don¡¯t want to say how many harms this person has done. Don't you dare to offend a member of the royal family? He didn't find your head to come to you. How dare you go to his head to get money? You wouldn¡¯t dare even if I borrowed your courage. The workers have entered the training class for training. The first one is about things they should know and know. The second one is about factory love education. The third one is about safety education. Finally, it is about organizing all employees to make reasonable suggestions for the construction of the factory. Whose suggestions are there? In the future, if the company adopts it, it will be given a heavy reward and silver dollars will be directly issued to the hand. We also encourage everyone to learn from them. The rules and regulations were personally written by the two bosses and detailed every requirement. Fixed wages, piece-rate wages, bonuses, etc. have greatly increased the workers' income. However, if there are waste products, the bonuses will be deducted not only from the workers, but also from the superiors. Even Han Zhichao and Wan Yixin had to deduct this, which gave the workers a sense of collective honor. This time, let everyone??With a heightened sense of responsibility, it is no longer enough to do the same good or bad things as before, more or less. Even the most basic team leaders are capable and mediocre. No one can occupy the manhole and do nothing. Those middle-level managers who have been streamlined also have a sense of urgency. If they don't work well, they will lose their jobs. The same salary will also go down. If they want to increase their salary, they must be good at something, and they can get high salaries based on connections as before. Han Zhichao often said to everyone: "From now on, we will not distinguish between Chinese and foreigners. If you can't do it well, you will be promoted." Let everyone have a sense of competition in their hearts. The two managers usually don't talk much and are very friendly to others, but they have repeatedly stated that they must strictly implement the rules and regulations, and if there is a problem, they will be severely punished. Their biggest characteristic is that they care about their subordinate workers who have difficulties. As long as they know about it, they will definitely take care of it. If they are not feeling well, they will arrange vacations and treat them immediately. If they are sick, they will treat them immediately. Now there are already hospital workers in their own company. Medical treatment is free, and family members only need to pay half of the cost for medical treatment. If you have difficulties in life, they will arrange for financial personnel to lend you money. This makes people respect and fear them. Even the fierce security guards are afraid of them when they see them, but they are not afraid of them. On the contrary, it seems to be a special respect for them. Anyway, they are convincing. With such a leader, it is easy for the entire enterprise to say that after they started formal production, their work efficiency increased by more than 300%. Text Chapter 146 Encouragement The first contract of the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Company Shipyard was a 1,000-ton cargo ship from the Xinghua Yangtze River Shipping Company. After they took over, the original workers were immediately shocked. The cost of building the ship in three months was only 44. Ten thousand silver dollars. The first ship built by Jiangnan Shipyard was the "Huiji". It took nearly a year to build. The original cost was 150,000 taels, but when it was finally completed, it reached an astonishing 1.1 million taels. So when the above tasks came up, people didn't know what to do. Those technicians and workers who didn¡¯t know what to do went to General Manager Han Zhichao to ask what to do? When everyone looked anxious, Han Zhichao saw the hope of this factory. He knew that the workers were starting to think about the factory, which was a good thing. So he and Wan Yixin held a mobilization meeting for all employees of the company. Thousands of workers sat in a large workshop. At the meeting, General Manager Han Zhichao first recalled with everyone the situation when the Jiangnan Factory built the first ship: At that time, the boilers and other major equipment and raw materials on the ship were all customized from the UK. It was very expensive and then it was transported across the ocean. This was one of the main reasons for the long construction period at that time. The main positions of the workers at that time were British. Their wages were dozens of times higher than our workers, and their construction period was Why did Bu Chang take away a lot of money from us, so they were there "making foreign workers" out of the work we could do and not letting our workers do it themselves? Who of you were there at the time? Some people can only hand over tools or something. Why do they do this? They do it to block technology and prevent our workers from learning skills. Moreover, their skills are not very good and they are afraid that we will laugh at them because they have no skills at work. They have a sense of responsibility, so they produce a lot of waste. In addition, everyone knows that there are many people here who do not work but only receive high wages. Many of them are paid in name in our factory. How many people are there in the Machinery Bureau this year? One hundred thousand taels of silver went out in vain, and it was all counted on that ship, as well as all the corruption and bribery. If we add up these things, can our construction period not be too long? Can the cost be high? Han Zhichao¡¯s last few rhetorical questions immediately stopped everyone. It turns out that this is the problem, but they still lack confidence in themselves. Han Zhichao said to everyone again: "I won't say much else, but what I want to tell you is that it will take eighty days to build such a ship in our Fangcheng city because we need to transport some boilers, spare parts and equipment from Fangcheng. In addition, the shipping time has added ten days to us. In addition, they only need 360,000 silver dollars to build the ship, and they still have a profit. If we remove the 20,000 yuan shipping fee, we can still make a net profit of 60,000. How about the fencing silver dollar? Technicians and master workers, you can think about it, we are all Chinese, can we build it? If you really don¡¯t want to build this boat, then I will do it. When I canceled the contract and asked them to transport those things back, I said to them: I'm sorry, our workers in Shanghai can't do it, so please do it yourself. From now on, the dignity of our Shanghai workers will be lost. After I finished speaking, please think about it carefully." After finishing Han Zhichao sat down and started drinking tea with Wan Yixin. The workers below immediately started talking. After a while, a worker stood up and shouted loudly: "We can do it to them. It¡¯s okay, they are all Chinese, they have ambitions, and we are not cowards.¡± Soon all the workers stood up and shouted: ¡°We must build this ship to show people that our workers in Shanghai are not just good at eating. He¡¯s the one who works.¡± Han Zhichao laughed when he saw the workers¡¯ excitement. After such encouragement, by the time construction started, the entire factory had a completely new look. The shipyards took action, and everyone began to seriously overhaul equipment and tools, clean the slipway, and make all preparations for laying the keel. Three days later, Han Zhichao and the workers laid the first keel, and then the intense construction began. The high efficiency of Fangcheng was demonstrated here. The workers worked in two shifts and they were working in full swing. Jiangnan Machinery Corporation wanted to once again demonstrate their status as the boss of China. The style is gone. The branch in Jiangning did the same thing. Manager Gao Qiang and chief engineer Xu Songlin also held a plenary meeting after some rectification. However, the place where their plenary meeting was held was a bit special, that is, there was a lot of waste there. It took time for other places to be cleaned up, but the two bosses here refused to let people move. All the workers are gathered here today. It was a large pile of brass bullet casings that were piled as high as a hill. The statistician explained that the amount of scrap here was six months. Calculating ten pieces per day, that is 1,800 pieces. Each piece is more than 100 kilograms. That is to say. There are nearly 200,000 kilograms of copper here. How much is this? Listening to the pile of figures reported by the statisticians, the workers opened their mouths in surprise. At this time Gao Qiang spoke: "We feel sad when the workers see this pile of waste. This proves that we are a group of good workers who care about the country and the assets of the factory. But those who caused these waste products do not feel bad because they can get something from it. If you want to get rid of these things, they can use the money to line their own pockets. From now on, we must treat the factory as our own home. We must love our home and care for it because our personal interests are with the company. Well, our income will be more. If the company fails, our income will be less. If the company is destroyed, we will lose this job and have no place to make money. Seeing the waste products we produced in the past really makes people doubt us. How many of the shells fired in the past could be fired, and how many would hurt our own people? How many could hit the enemy's head, and how many could explode? " "Now our brothers in the Beiyang Navy have made a custom order for us? Now we have to use the greatest enthusiasm to produce the best cannonballs for our naval brothers. Cannons and shells, do you think we have confidence?" "Yes!" "The voice is not loud enough. I can't hear you say it again." "Yes!" The roar of the workers echoed through the sky and echoed throughout the earth. The reorganized Jinling Machinery Company started the production of their first contract after their rebirth. Text Chapter 147 Shame-knowing Pavilion They worked nervously and orderly. In front of the shearing machine, the workers redesigned and made the mold. They placed the mold one at a time and used a ruler to measure it. Then the next copper plate was just right. The whole work was fast and good. The stamping machine was flying in the forming workshop. The shell shells came out one by one and entered the next process. After the final shaping, the finished products came out and passed the careful inspection. After that, we entered the process of charging. Previously, it was filled with black gunpowder. Now it is filled with yellow picric acid and high-explosive bombs. It is enough to install them in a certain proportion. The other type is armor-piercing projectiles. There is a red circle on the upper part of the shell shell, which is the mark of the armor-piercing projectile. This must not be installed incorrectly. On the first day of production work, there was not a single scrap. Gao Qiang happily said to everyone: "Thank you, fellow workers. This is the spirit of our new generation of workers. If we unite as one, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome. All technical problems have been overcome by us." So we have no more scraps. Now we have to send these re-produced artillery shells to our Beiyang Navy for inspection. If our brothers in the Beiyang Navy approve our products, we can turn around from now on. "Then they were packed in wooden boxes and sent to the warehouse door. The guards at the door of the warehouse had to inspect and accept them in strict accordance with the regulations. They were well protected and sent to the Beiyang Navy for inspection. The workers know that the training given by their bosses during this period has been very effective. The employees have greatly improved both in terms of production technology and personal ideological realm. In addition, everyone now regards the factory as their home. If they produce good products and produce more products, everyone can be rewarded. But if they produce waste products, everyone will be punished, and even the high-ranking general manager will be punished. The company built a small pavilion at the original waste dump. There was a waste cartridge case in it, and the name on the pavilion was the words "Know your shame and then advance". Workers later called them "Shame-aware Pavilions", which was like an alarm bell placed there to ring the alarm to employees every day to remind them of their past shame. A small speedboat specially sent the newly produced artillery shells to the Beiyang Navy, asking them to re-test their products. For this reason, Li Hongzhang specially issued a warrant to the Zhenyuan ship for them to test it. When the experienced gunners saw the shells, They were satisfied from the bottom of their hearts. After the test firing, the results were very good. They immediately reported it to Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang happily said to Ding Ruchang: "It seems that we have taken the right step. The Jinling Machinery Bureau gave it to General Li, and we are more relieved." " Ding Ruchang also smiled and said: "China is very lucky to have this General Li. On the surface, he is an indifferent person, but who knows that his passion is all for our country? " "Look at Shanghai. The situation will also surprise us. We are obsessed with his big light. "The new ship of Jiangnan Factory will be launched in more than a month here. On the shore, colorful flags are flying, gongs and drums are loud, and everyone is celebrating the arrival of this day. Han Zhichaoben. He didn't want to do these showy things, but in order to boost everyone's energy, he decided to make the scene more lively. The cables holding the cargo ship were untied, and the cargo ship was slowly gliding into the Huangpu River, and then the upper level of the ship was nervously carried out. Construction installation and improvement of internal facilities. Except for the people from Fangcheng who were confident that the ship could be completed in three months, even Shen Baoxiang, they did not believe that the Jiangnan Factory could build it because he knew the situation of the Shanghai Machinery Bureau very well, but they also saw the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Branch. That's a huge change, so their hearts are encouraging them. Time flies and more than two months have passed. On this day, people below reported that Li Zhenhua and Sheng Xuanhuai were coming. The frontline workers did not have time to pick them up, but the senior managers all wanted to meet their man. However, Han Zhichao didn't let anyone go to greet the president. Only he and Wan Yixin went to pick him up, and only a few people from the Green Gang, Shen Baoxiang, came to greet them. Two cargo ships on the dock entered the dock. Several big characters on the bow came into people's eyes: "Yangtze River No. 1" and "Yangtze River No. 2". After the two ships stopped, Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai and others got off. Shen Baoxiang wiped his eyes vigorously. Yes, it was General Li who came. He personally led the "Changjiang No. 1" and "Changjiang No. 2". In addition, the "Changjiang No. 3" from Jiangnan Factory now has three ships. On the pier in Shanghai. The sailors on the two cargo ships lined up on the dock and saw two young men running over. When they saw Shen Baoxiang, they first gave him the Qinggang salute and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Shen Baoxiang: "Master Helm, we are back." Shen Baoxiang rushed forward. He took the two young men in his arms and said to them: "Brothers, you are getting darker and thinner, but when you become more capable, our Youth Gang will count on you for food." "Master Duo, this is all Li's fault. Sir, their teachings are very good. We have been here for a few months and there has been no?We had a good rest for a day and he said to us: If you want to become a qualified sailor, you must be willing to give up. Every day we train and take classes with their soldiers. Until the new ship is launched, we can do everything. From now on, the helmsman, those foreign ships can no longer bully us. " Shen Baoxiang wanted to see his sailors. Li Zhenhua and Sheng Xuanhuai also walked over together. The young men stood upright and paid attention to their helmsman. These young men were carefully selected by Shen Baoxiang. They are some good ones. After this period of time, the young people trained by the Fangcheng Navy are no different from soldiers. The only difference is that they did not put on military uniforms and pick up weapons. The blue overalls they were wearing were also very disappointing. The people who went there were excited. Shen Baoxiang looked over one by one, patted one on the shoulder and punched another. His heart was so happy. Mr. Li said that he actually gave three boats after three months. Two months later, there will be four ships, and the Yangtze River will be back in our own hands. The situation of those foreigners dominating the Yangtze River will be completely changed by us. When Li Zhenhua saw Shen Baoxiang, he just pointed at a young man next to him. He said: "Brother Shen, don't just be happy. I will introduce you to you and you will be the boss of the Yangtze River Shipping Company. This person is Jiang Zhitao, the deputy general manager of our shipping company. He will assist you in your work. " Text Chapter 148 Sensational Effect A young man next to him came up and bowed to Shen Baoxiang and said, "Mr. Shen, let me report to you the situation of these ships." "Wait a minute, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the restaurant to talk." Li Zhenhua didn't want to erase it. Shen Baoxiang lost face and had no choice but to go to a nearby restaurant with him. There was only a sign in front of the door that said, "The VIP restaurant is temporarily closed to the public for one day today." Li Zhenhua said to Shen Baoxiang: "You are too polite to do this. Okay, we won't be like this in the future. Hurry up and remove the sign in front of the door." "Withdraw." "My lord, what happened today is not what I said. The old man asked me to do it. I said you don't like it. The old man scolded me. You said I have no conscience. You don't say it anymore. I still have it." Don¡¯t waste your time on what to say.¡± Li Zhenhua and others had no choice but to enter the restaurant with Shen Baoxiang and others. A few people sat down and the waiter served tea and left automatically. Shen Baoxiang said to Li Zhenhua: "Master Li, I have something to say to you. Please agree first." "Just tell me. Why do you want me to agree in advance?" " You have to agree to it before you can say it. " "But how can I agree if I don't know what it is? " " Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want you to be the CEO of the Yangtze River Shipping Company. " "What's the matter? Didn't we agree that you will manage it?" "Master Luggage, your management method is the best. My method has fallen behind a long time ago, so I have to manage it like this." "Let this be the case. You are in charge, boss. Just let Xiao Jiang be responsible for the specific management." Jiang Zhitao also said, "That's the best thing. I'm the one who makes the decisions, and you do the talking. I'll use your mouth to manage it. That's it." " Shen Baoxiang thought about it carefully. He knew that the people under him were usually loose, and now he was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the demands. "Okay, I'll just follow you. The people under me may be a little difficult to manage. Let me first. I'll break his legs first if he refuses to show his authority. "Jiang Zhitao said, "Boss Shen, we have to convince people with reason, not with force." After the banquet is over, Li Zhenhua will go to the machine manufacturing industry. From the company, Shen Baoxiang and Jiang Zhitao went to their office building at Shiliupu Wharf. Jiang Zhitao looked at the environment here and thought it was okay, so they started studying their next work together. Jiang Zhitao had made preparations for this aspect long before he came. He decided to carry out advertising in a big way. First, he would find several newspapers and invite reporters from several newspapers to have dinner together in the evening and ask them to help promote our Xinghua Yangtze River Shipping Company. These ships have also advertised that the first ship is scheduled to leave for Hankou in ten days. Taking Shanghai to Hankou as an example, the cargo is 5 taels of silver per ton. First-class passengers are 100 silver dollars each. Second-class passengers are 80 silver dollars. Last-class passengers Thirty silver dollars, half-price for children under 1.4 meters, free for children under 1 meter. Students in new-style schools who go home during the holidays and return to school (with a letter of certification from the school) can get a half-price discount. All prices are one-half or one-third that of American Qichang Company, and all customers and goods are insured by their insurance company. The water time is hour and comes back to four o'clock. It is one-third faster than the American Qichang Company. One shipment per day for bulk cargo can also be carried out on a chartered basis. Starting tomorrow, the first telephone trunk line will be built from Shiliupu Pier to Nanjing Road and then westward along Nanjing Road to facilitate people to book tickets by phone. At the same time, three steamship ticket offices have been opened in Zhabei, Jing'an Temple and Nanjing in urban Shanghai to facilitate people to buy tickets nearby. Hai also wants to engage in the taxi industry. If someone needs to pick up or drop off guests at the pier, they can just make a phone call and those "Great Wall" taxis can come to serve you. Those who pull rickshaws under the Qinggang also write an advertisement for Xinghua Group Company Yangtze River Shipping Company on their hoods. In fact, the most important thing is to write the shipping company¡¯s phone number on it. The second step is to ask Shen Baoxiang to select sailors from several ships again to study on these three ships in preparation for taking over the second batch of new ships in a few months. At the same time, he is also preparing to recruit some girls. If it is difficult to find Chinese people, then find some foreigners first. The girls went to the cabin to serve. Send special personnel to Hankou, Jiangning, Zhenjiang and other places to contact local newspapers and let them publish advertisements at the same time, and send special personnel to post and distribute advertisements to win more logistics and passenger flow customers. Starting from tomorrow, two cars will be sent out, and a few loud-voiced helpers will be set up on the cars. People will surround the broadcasts with cloths and write the advertising slogans of our shipping company on them. Then we will put on a gramophone and play some operas. If the music attracts more people to watch it, we will broadcast and promote it for ten days in a row. Create a sensationRespond. Send out helpers to protect our new ships to prevent Americans and British from secret sabotage activities. After hearing Jiang Zhitao carefully explain the matter one by one, Shen Baoxiang was really convinced by this young man. How could he have so many business things in his mind? Can those Americans survive under our hands? ? So he immediately asked his people to carry out all of Vice President Jiang's instructions to the letter, and he would be immediately held accountable if any one of them failed to comply. The next day's newspaper reported on the ships of the Yangtze River Shipping Branch of the Jixinghua Group Company. The newspaper introduced at great length the three freighters of the Xinghua Company with a displacement of 1,000 tons and a full load of 1,300 tons. Large photos of the 14-section cargo ship were also published in newspapers. The Shanghai citizens spontaneously went to the dock to watch the Yangtze River cargo ship. People were full of praise for their appearance alone. More and more businessmen and students crowded the streets in the concession, and even a large number of patrols were dispatched to maintain order. The above points have suppressed the American Qichang Company and the British Swire Company. This is not the time when they used advanced ships to deal with us more than ten years ago. Now our own ships are faster, cheaper, and better than theirs. Qichang and Swire companies cannot achieve any of them. Within a few days, their transportation revenue dropped sharply. Their senior officials had no choice but to treat them. The subordinates said: "China's Xinghua Company is not good. They only have two years of shipbuilding experience and they can build a cargo ship in three months. Unless they use paper lakes, their ships cannot withstand the test of wind and waves." You can rest assured and wait to see their ships calling for help from us in the Yangtze River. "Please support me. Since there are no recommended collections, I can't bear to bet. Thank you "" officials. Text Chapter 149 First Flight Ceremony Although the Qichang Company of the United States and the Taikoo Company of the United Kingdom have also lowered their prices, people have realized their true colors. It turns out that they are too dark and they will never be able to ride on their ships in the future. So people are waiting patiently for Xinghua Company's cargo ship to leave. The time has been set, and it only takes a few days. People can wait patiently. So Xinghua Group Company has ordered all the cabins for seven consecutive days and the goods have been ordered. The reservation was made ten days later. The warehouse at his dock was already full of goods from merchants. Looking at the money he had received, Shen Baoxiang said excitedly to Li Zhenhua: "Brother, this is all because of you. If it weren't for your help, we would The Green Gang can only prepare to disband. "Brother Shen, this is not my personal contribution. It is the joint efforts of all of us. We couldn't have done this without your full help." Shen Baoxiang wiped his wet eyes and said to Li Zhenhua. Said: "I was a little worried before. It seems that I am completely relieved this time. When will those ships arrive? I am a little anxious." "It has been more than two months. There are two Shanghai lines on the other side of Fangcheng. "Is this okay?" "No problem, Han Zhichao will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Just look at it. I guess those ships won't cost you anything." "Ah, they will." If a foreigner takes a trip to Hankou in a few days, they can earn back their investment, can't we do it in two months? Colorful flags were displayed on the Shiliupu Pier on the Huangpu River. There were crowds of people watching the fun on the pier. The military band of Haiphong City and the Navy also came to join in the fun. The young men were all in high spirits, playing happy music one after another in neat order. People's eyes were opened to the sight of those young men walking in neat and orderly steps, as well as those energetic girls and young men, who were either moving forward or retreating or turning in circles or Walking in a straight line is really eye-opening. People have never seen anything like this. It turned out that Shen Baoxiang was afraid that there would be too few people at the meeting, so he specially organized more than a thousand of his helpers to attend the meeting to fill the gap for several years. Now these people have all become people who maintain order. Fortunately, they are there to maintain order. Otherwise, I am really afraid that the order at the venue will be disrupted. There is also a stage set up next to the ship's side on the pier. Today, Jiang Zhitao is presiding over the meeting. He first invites Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai and Shen Baoxiang to sit on the stage. At the same time, there are also Daotai from Shanghai and several top officials from Nanyang and Beiyang. Jiang Zhitao sees that the time is about the same. He stood up, walked to the stage, and solemnly announced to everyone in a long voice: "Dear guests, the maiden voyage ceremony of Xinghua Group Company Yangtze Shipping Corporation has officially begun!" The band immediately played joyful music in unison, and the cargo ship whistle blew to help the crowd. Firecrackers were lit, drums were beaten, and the crowd and spectators cheered loudly. The old man of the Qing Gang, supported by several young gang members, sat on a high platform far away. In his hand was a telescope given to him by Li Zhenhua. He happily watched this exciting scene, and the old man shed tears. The young men around him said: "I never thought that our Youth Gang would have such a prosperous day. It's all thanks to General Li." The old man wiped his eyes and continued: "In the future, you must use all your strength for me. Take care of your own affairs, otherwise you will be sorry for that General Li." The young men said together: "Yes! Mr. Chief, we will definitely listen to you." Li Zhenhua originally did not intend to speak on such an occasion, but Shen Baoxiang repeatedly said. Asked him to say a few words, he had no choice but to agree. Li Zhenhua walked to the front of the stage and pressed his hands down on people. The venue immediately fell silent: "Gentlemen, ladies, friends, distinguished guests: Today we are Xinghua The Yangtze River Shipping Corporation of the Group has officially started operations. Our purpose is to serve our guests so that everyone can make faster, better, and more money. The purpose of making money is to better build our country in the future. At the same time, I wish to go out. Good luck to my traveling friends. Thank you all. I'm done." People on and off the stage applauded and cheered again. They have never heard such a short speech or such an inspiring speech. When people later found out that the person who spoke that day was the anti-French hero of the year before last and a hero in people's minds, they all said in their hearts: "There is hope for our Chinese nation, and we are not far from the day when we will become stronger." When some of the future generations When historians talk about Li Zhenhua's speech, their words are even more classic: "As the president of a group company at that time, his eyes had already been set on the world. This was the first time he publicly called on people to work hard for "Work hard to strengthen our Chinese nation." The clock pointed to eight o'clock. The captain of the "Yangtze River No. 1" was called Shen Zhixin. He was a nephew of Shen Baoxiang. I saw him standing in the captain's position in a new blue overalls.On the boat, he gave the order seriously: "Horn!" The ship's whistle sounded again. "Remove the gangplank! Lift the anchor and untie the cable and move forward!" Shen Zhixin once again issued a series of commands. The gangway retreated to the deck. The huge iron anchor rose from the river and the cable was untied. The huge propeller slowly turned faster and faster. The ship turned over at the stern. There was a huge wave, and the cargo ship started to move. The guests on the ship waved to the people below, and the people below also waved to the top. At this time, the band played farewell music again. On a foreign-style building in the distance, the president of the American Qichang Company stood on the roof and was watching the maiden voyage ceremony of the Yangtze River Shipping Company of the Xinghua Group Company. His face was gloomy. Ten days ago, he had already received the news that the Chinese wanted to enter the Yangtze River. He immediately reported the shipping information to the board of directors of the United States. As a businessman, he was unwilling to set his price so high. However, the shareholders in the United States only saw the current interests and were unwilling to lower the price. Now is the time. The Chinese have suffered huge losses from just such an advertising campaign, and people are no longer willing to take their passenger ships. Not to mention political reasons, just purely economic reasons. People will also be disgusted with the ships of foreign companies in the future. They used to be too dark. Now, if the prices of foreign ships are reduced, people will not be willing to take their own ships. See that over there. In the crowded maiden voyage ceremony, he knew that his term as president had come to an end and that he had no ability to restore Qichang's glory. He walked into his office with heavy steps, picked up a pen, and began to write his resignation report. Text Chapter 150 Transcendence Due to the maiden voyage ceremony, the "Yangtze River No. 1" sailed more than an hour later than originally planned. The cargo ship of the American Qichang Company had already left Wusongkou and entered the Yangtze River. The "Yangtze River No. 1" cargo ship has sped up and they want to make up for the time taken up by the maiden voyage ceremony. The American ships in front were already far behind due to their age and disrepair. Their shadows were spotted before they reached Jiangyin. The crew shouted to their captain: "Captain, catch up and pass them!" Shen Zhixin just laughed. He didn't say anything for a moment, but the lever under his hand had already been pressed down one level. Fourteen knots were moving forward at full speed. The stern of the ship was churning with bigger waves. The speed upstream was slower, but the American cargo ship was also just as slow. "Haha, foreign devil, I'm not afraid of you anymore. I'll let you eat my shit." A crew member cursed rudely. The foreign devil captain seemed to have heard what he said. He increased the speed desperately, and huge black smoke came out of the chimney. But in They were finally defeated in front of the "Yangtze River No. 1". The whistle of the "Yangtze River No. 1" sounded loudly and easily surpassed the guests and sailors on their ship. They waved to them, laughed, and cursed at the "Yangtze River No. 1" "The American ship began to bump violently in the big waves. The angry foreign captain cursed. He had forgotten how he treated Chinese ships before. The guests and sailors were laughing and cursing on the boat, but the waiters and waitresses were doing their duty. They brought hot water to the guests. They kept patrolling the boat to see which guests needed help. The guests talked about the details of today¡¯s lunch: rice, stir-fried vegetables, several kinds of meat dishes, vegetarian dishes that are popular among southerners, and steamed buns, dumplings, steamed buns, etc. that northerners like, and the prices are quite cheap. If someone doesn¡¯t want to eat in a restaurant, You have to bring your own dry food for meals and they will also provide hot water to people. Their attentive and meticulous service has won unanimous praise from guests. This scene appeared again in Zhenjiang, Jiangning, Hankou and other places. As the guests boarded and disembarked, they told people about the scene of Chinese cargo ships far exceeding American ships. At the same time, they also told people about the thoughtful and meticulous service of Xinghua Shipping Company. Tell them one by one to people who have not been on their ship. The newspapers of the day were full of large-scale introductions to the grand occasion of the Yangtze River Shipping Company's maiden voyage. Large photos were published on them, and Li Zhenhua's speech to everyone was vividly displayed on the paper. Every newspaper office was extremely happy to reprint the newspaper twice today. Except for General Li, who was so excited during the Zhennanguan victory, the newspapers were sold out as soon as the newspaper boys went out. They immediately ran back and asked for more. The newspaper bosses who distributed newspapers felt as comfortable as drinking a cup of cold dish on a hot day when they saw the children's excitement. Li Zhenhua is reading today's newspaper in his room in the hotel. Wang Xin and Yaqi are sitting aside. This time both of them are here. Li Zhenhua wants to put his position in Shanghai. This is a center. Now that he has not arranged a suitable house, he will live there first. In the hotel. Sheng Xuanhuai walked in and said to Li Zhenhua: "Twenty years ago, I also wanted to have a fight with foreigners. But I didn't persist and lost. But today I'm here again and I'm here as a winner." Li Zhenhua said : "Yes, we have won today, but we still have more work to do." Sheng Xuanhuai said: "We should publish a newspaper of our own immediately." "Okay, I'm thinking about this too. You think about it? How can we do it? Even Lao Zhu called us to discuss it. " "No need to discuss it, I have already thought about it." Just as Zhu Baosan walked in, several people immediately decided to publish a newspaper. They decided to name this newspaper: "Morning Bell News", which means to wake up sleeping people with the sound of morning bells. After everyone left in the evening, Wang Xin said to Li Zhenhua: "Congratulations, you are going to be a father." After saying that, he made a face at Yaqi. Yaqi blushed and lowered her head. Li Zhenhua came to Yaqi's side and said: She said: "Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "I didn't know it until now. Didn't Wang Xin already rush to tell you?" "Well, from today on, your mission is to rest. And it must be Rest well and don¡¯t let our children suffer any grievances.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not so squeamish. Aren¡¯t I just like a normal person?¡± ¡°No, we must rest well and don¡¯t let our children suffer any grievances.¡± Wang Xin said quietly at night. He said to Li Zhenhua: "Husband, you can't be partial. I also want to have a child of our own." Li Zhenhua gently held Wang Xin in his arms and said to her: "I will not be partial and let you give birth to me too." "Big fat son." Wang Xin's hand gently hit Li Zhenhua: "My husband is so kind, I know you are the most caring."It's home. " "Little jealous jar! I still don¡¯t know what you are thinking about every day? "" Li Hongzhang, who is far away in Tianjin, is now completely convinced. Jiangnan Machinery Bureau and Jinling Machinery Bureau are in his own hands. It is a waste of money and no return. It is a pity that they are just two useless things. Now it seems that they are just taking over. After a few months, earth-shaking changes have taken place. The problem of losses has stopped and the quality of products has improved. All the workers have regarded the Machinery Bureau as their own home. When any problem is discovered, no one will let it go. Why can't this enterprise be good? It seems that he is really old. His former subordinate Xu Songlin demoted his official position in the Jinling Machinery Bureau from the fifth grade to the ninth grade. Everyone knew that he was in trouble, and the people below wanted to kill him. The reason was that he was disrespectful to his superiors, gave them advice many times, and contradicted them on many matters. But the Gao Qiang who worked under Li Zhenhua put him on the spot as soon as he got up to him. He had a chief engineer in charge of technology and also a deputy general manager to listen to his opinions, but why didn't his own people use them? The original Deng Shichang was also unable to do anything under his direct general Ding Ruchang and was a thorn in his side. But as soon as he came under Li Zhenhua's staff, something completely changed happened. What's going on? It seems that he didn't have any talented people under his command, but he just didn't find them. Li Hongzhang couldn't figure it out in his life. This social system has restricted them so that they will not reuse these people, let alone support these people, and they will not become talents in his hands. Text Chapter 151 Collection On this day, two guests suddenly came to the hotel where Haili Zhenhua was staying. The guards clearly showed distrust towards these two people. They were obviously soldiers, but they dressed themselves up as civilians. Their way of speaking and accent also made them look uneasy. The soldiers found it strange that this made the guards more wary of them. When they asked them why, they said it was just their intuition. The two people who came were not tall and spoke with a not very standard northern Mandarin accent. They were brought in by Sun Feihu himself. Normally, Sun Feihu was not responsible for such things. After they came in, Sun Feihu stood vigilantly beside Li Zhenhua. The two people were also behind him. Two guards stood up, their hands on the pistols at their waists. As soon as Li Zhenhua saw this posture, he already knew what these two people were, and he immediately became more vigilant. He saw the pace they walked in and the standard ninety-degree bow to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua laughed in his heart. These are not ordinary people. They are soldiers, well-trained Japanese soldiers. The neighbors to the east are coming. Yes, they should be coming. They should have paid attention to themselves a long time ago. Li Zhenhua looked at them with a cold face: "Tell me, who sent you here? What are you here for?" The two people were shocked when they heard this. They saw through him before they could say anything, so they sweated. This man is really It's not easy. They can tell our identities just by looking at it. But at this time, they can only bite the bullet and take a step forward. They lowered their heads and took out a letter from their arms. They handed it to Sun Feihu who was behind Li Zhenhua and took a step forward. He reached over and took the letter, checked it first, opened the envelope, and handed the letter to Li Zhenhua's hand with one hand. His body returned to the original position, and his eyes were still staring at the two people closely. Li Zhenhua read the letter and said to them: "This is a good proposal. It's okay to let me serve you. But your price must be higher. If you want to bribe me, you have to be willing to spend money. You can discuss it when you go back." Come back soon." After Li Zhenhua threw the letter down and waved his hand, Sun Feihu immediately stood in front of Li Zhenhua and stretched out his hand: "Get out!" without even a word "please". The two Japanese saw that this person was too direct. They bowed again and said: "General, please calm down and have something to discuss." "There is nothing to discuss. It's just that the price you offered is too low. This is an insult to me." "Please give me a price so we can talk." "What price do you need? Do you know what the Qing government paid me?" How much is the income? Do you know? At the same time, you also gave me a Gege and asked you to send someone who knows people to come and calculate the accounts carefully with me. Don't just send some idiots. You can go. "The door opened and two guards stood there with their hands on the guns at their waists, staring at the two Japanese and they had no choice but to leave obediently. Li Zhenhua said to Sun Feihu: "We are keeping an eye on them." "We don't need to worry about them. They have already followed." After the two Japanese left, they looked around cautiously, but the intelligence officers behind them were responsible for keeping an eye on them. The two people who would be discovered by them went directly to their consulate in Shanghai, but the careful agents knew that this was just a trick of theirs. These two people were not staff of the Japanese consulate. They must have their own dens, so they patiently Wait for them to come out. During this time, a secretary from their consulate went out for a trip. The agents outside immediately followed him. It turned out that he had gone to a telegraph room run by the British to send a telegram. They didn¡¯t come out until night, and they didn¡¯t even know that someone was still following them behind them. They swaggered into their own residence. It was a courtyard with few houses around, but the agents didn't eat for free. They immediately posted up and a person who knew Japanese was responsible for monitoring. As soon as I entered the door, I heard them muttering that it was the Chinese general, but he was so shady that he dared to ask for money openly and opened his mouth like a lion. Although there was no quotation, he would definitely pay a sky-high price. Just wait for the domestic telegram. They murmured some more and then rested. The person in charge of monitoring withdrew and immediately reported to the superiors. At the same time, the draft of the telegram sent by the secretary of the consulate also arrived in the hands of Li Zhenhua. Unsurprisingly, it was their telegram requesting instructions from the country. Although they used argot, the intelligence personnel quickly translated their original meaning. The next day, Feng Yuqing, who was in charge of intelligence work, rushed to Shanghai from Fangcheng and appeared in Li Zhenhua's office. Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "I was just looking for you here and you came here. This really means that Cao Cao is here. Cao Cao just happened to have something to do here." Let¡¯s discuss Feihu and introduce the situation to Feng Yuqing.¡± Sun Feihu immediately told what happened yesterday.Yuqing said something. When Feng Yuqing heard it, oh, there is something like this here. He said to Li Zhenhua: "I came from Fangcheng and I have a situation that I want to tell you. Recently, there have been frequent contacts between the Japanese and the British. First of all, They sold a large amount of public bonds in the UK to obtain a large amount of funds in the UK. According to incomplete statistics, it is about 600 million yen. This is extremely detrimental to us. There is also a bigger conspiracy behind them, but we have not discovered it yet. The last point is that they have ordered two more warships from the UK, both with a displacement of more than 4,000 tons. This year is a very critical year for the Japanese¡¯s policy towards China. This year they will make final preparations and they should start to implement their policy. The excuse for China to wait for North Korea after planning the war was to use the Dongxue Party incident in North Korea as a breakthrough to send troops to North Korea and force the Qing Dynasty to send troops, and then provoke trouble and enter a state of war. The Japanese are now very close to the British. They are now selling Japanese public bonds in the UK with great fanfare in order to divert our domestic attention to focus on the British side and relax our attention on the Japanese side. The purpose of my coming to Shanghai is to discuss with the chief minister how to handle this matter. "Li Zhenhua from later generations knew about this situation. The Japanese used public bonds issued in the UK to obtain a large amount of funds. This was the famous Rothschild family. They actively supported the Japanese and prepared to give to them due to their hatred of Russia. They had a lot of money and they wanted to make the Japanese strong to deal with the Russians. Text Chapter 152 Investment without Vision Chapter 152 Investment without Vision Chapter 152 Investment without Vision But no matter what, they are helping the Japanese to deal with the Chinese, and the Japanese will not listen to them in the future. The main goal of the Japanese is to deal with China and Russia. Generally speaking, they are not as interested in China's Manchuria, Taiwan and China's mainland territories. Later, they were indeed like this. They failed to achieve the goal of the British Luo family. It seems that they will not achieve their goal this time, because this time the Japanese will definitely fail, and Roche's funds will be wasted. Then there is nothing you can do to ask you to support the Japanese. I can only blame you for having no vision but for choosing the wrong investment target. Li Zhenhua thought carefully after listening to Feng Yuqing's words: This matter is true. The Japanese want to use this opportunity to step up their deployment in North Korea. Although the British side did not take advantage, there is no need to mention it to Japan in the country. of attention. The result was that the Japanese took advantage and defeated the Qing Dynasty in the First Sino-Japanese War. They never expected that a country with nearly one million troops would be defeated like this. The number of troops they arrived in Shandong and Liaodong was only 50,000 to 60,000. The signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki enabled the Japanese to obtain a large amount of silver, which enabled Japan to rapidly grow in East Asia and become the strongest power in Asia. It allowed them to pay off their loan to the British Roche and made a lot of progress for them to attack China in the future. Good economic preparations alone are enough to make a small Japan rich. b Their "big gamble" this time was an absolute victory. Now the Beiyang Navy, with its own support and help, can no longer be wiped out as before. This time, the Japanese combined fleet and their troops arriving in North Korea will be completely wiped out, so that they will not be able to stand up for decades. We will always rely on China to eliminate all their war criminals and keep them honest for decades or completely deal with them. You are still close to "gambling" on the national destiny. This is a huge casino. I already know your trump cards, so you can only lose. After thinking about it, Li Zhenhua said to Feng Yuqing: "Well, as for the British, you mainly look at what the British want to do. On the surface, the British will not conflict with us head-on, but they will not give up with us. We have many problems. The local government has violated their interests. Another thing is to pay attention to the Minister in the UK, Xue Fucheng. If you can help him, please help him and protect him. Regarding the Japanese issue, you should continue to pay close attention to the actions of the Japanese government. At the same time, support for the Beiyang Navy must be increased and accelerated. In addition, your intelligence office should also consider moving to Shanghai to work beside me so that things can be handled in a timely manner." Feng Yuqing left. Li Zhenhua began to arrange his own affairs. The war will begin in the summer two years later. It's no problem for our own cruisers, and those submarines and airships are already ready. It's even better for the army. One of our own divisions can eat up one of the Japanese army. As long as the division does not compete with them on the bayonet, it is just like playing with them. Their weapons are good, their soldiers are strong, they are fully trained and they can move quickly. This is incomparable to the Japanese army. It's no problem to fight them at home, and it's no problem to fight them in North Korea. But if you need to go out to fight, it will be more difficult. Strong logistical support work will appear in front of you. Now you just need to prepare more. It doesn¡¯t matter how prepared we can be. If we can, we can take a big profit. Anyway, we will make them unable to stand up for decades or simply destroy them. The timetable for the First World War against Japan is imminent. I still have more than two years to prepare. Now it is not possible to send my troops to Lushun because I have no troops in name. Then I can engage them in Shandong or launch another surprise attack. Their escape route is to land in North Korea and give them a wasp-waist landing. I know very clearly the US military's battle in North Korea. When the Japanese divisions are blocked in North Korea, they will have to do whatever they want. . A blueprint for the battle was formed in Li Zhenhua's mind. However, this was not a fatal war. The situation of the war was changing rapidly. It was too early for him to settle on it now. Li Zhenhua knew that during World War I, Germany prepared the "Malifen Plan" for ten years. Due to the too many years difference, the result was not There are too many variables to be able to fully execute primarily war. Regarding the preparations for the war, our own side also started to set up a staff team. Liu Yongqiang, Feng Xiangrong, and Yu Qian were responsible for the modern war. Logistics support was the responsibility of Liu Yongqiang. The intelligence department was still in charge of Feng Yuqing. These three departments now have their permanent offices in Shanghai, which is almost the same distance from both sides. It is inconvenient to be at one end, so we have to stay in the middle. When the situation is tight, we can just follow Li Zhenhua. The Dongying in the north will expand another division and go to Jinan Prefecture, Dezhou Prefecture, Zhili Hejian Prefecture, and Cangzhou in Shandong to recruit troops for Fangcheng. One division. Two divisions from Annan and one division from Indonesia do not need to be moved. They only need to be mobilized this year. In the winter, another division of elite troops was transferred to Shandong for adaptive training in preparation for fighting against Japan. Military factories in Fangcheng, Shanghai, and Jiangning began to step up the production of war materials needed for the war. The highways from Dongying to Weihai and the highways from Dongying to Cangzhou are being accelerated. Speed ??up the development and production of Fangcheng's armored vehicles. They are relatively simple armored vehicles. The tires on the car's chassis are widened and then made of solid rubber so that they are not afraid of bullets. An iron shell made of steel plates is added to the top, and the front armor can withstand it. The bullets of the heavy machine gun have the firepower of a Hotchkiss heavy machine gun. It is not equipped with an artillery. Unless it is directly hit by a shell, it is already invincible in this world. If Japan can't use them, just don't use them first and then improve them, mainly for use in World War I. Weapons cannot just focus on the immediate future, but must have certain technical reserves. Work at the Fangcheng Naval Shipyard is also in progress. Li Zhenhua decided to build two cruisers at the same time. This way, once they are dispatched, they will have the same speed and the same equipment, and they will be easy to coordinate. We are also prepared to send a staff officer and a guard team of ten people to the Zhili Admiral Ye Zhichao in May two years later. In name, we will send experts to protect him. If he dares to escape, he will be subject to battlefield discipline. Let him destroy the entire situation on the Korean battlefield by himself. In addition, he will also have to put an extra burden on Nie Shicheng. All he needs to do is talk to Li Hongzhang directly about this. After making these arrangements, Li Zhenhua began to wait patiently for the Japanese to arrive. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 152 Investment without Vision (Text) Text Chapter 153 The princess can give it to you next year Chapter 153 The princess can be given to you next year. Chapter 153 The princess can be given to you next year. It must be said that the work efficiency of the Japanese is very high. They came back a few days later. This time it was their intelligence department in China. a senior person in charge. sohuboo The guards took the Japanese to Li Zhenhua's office. Li Zhenhua looked at the "God of Wealth" happily and said to him with a smile: "How is it? What price can you give me this time?" The Japanese's name was Yamada Kazuo. He saw The guards around him wanted to remind Li Zhenhua to talk to him alone, but Li Zhenhua said: "It doesn't matter. These are my own people. Just tell me what you want." No matter what kind of people he bribes, his official position cannot be made public when he is young. But now General Li has to talk in front of his subordinates, which shows how far he has trained these people. "One million taels of silver." Yamada Kazuo thought for a moment and spoke. "Hahahaha" Li Zhenhua laughed: "Are you just joking? You think I can't even look down on a dignified general and you want to bribe me with a mere one million taels? That's too ridiculous. First of all, you want Secondly, you want me to be a traitor. Thirdly, I don¡¯t have any advantages. Do you think I can agree to it?¡± Yamada Kazuo was stunned. Why is this general speaking so harshly? Is there anything we can¡¯t discuss properly? Why are you angry? So he said to Li Zhenhua: "Then please ask the general to make a price." "Forget it, I see you don't have any sincerity, so we won't talk. See you off." "No, no, no," Yamada looked at Li Zhenhua. After giving the order to expel the guests, he hurriedly said: "General, please tell me a number." The order to bribe Li Zhenhua was issued directly by the emperor. How dare you disobey the emperor's order? If you can't violate it, you can only do it well. This is a relationship. He was concerned about his future future, so even though Li Zhenhua had issued an eviction order, he still insisted on talking to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua sneered, looked at Yamada for a while and saw that his sweat had dropped, and said: "What are the conditions? It's actually very simple. First, if you want me to serve you, I must have the authority and authority. Blank checks won't do. From now on, your intelligence network in China will be mine." The second one is responsible for giving me five million taels of silver, otherwise nothing will happen." "What?" Yamada asked hurriedly, thinking that he had heard wrong. "I said it very clearly, so I don't need to repeat it. You can go back and ask for instructions now. I'll give you three more days and we won't have to talk about it after that." Yamada Kazuo wiped his sweat and left. Sun Feihu asked Li Zhenhua: "Chief, what are you doing? Are you playing this with him? We all know that what you hate the most is the Japanese." "Feihu, I don't have enough money to spend, so I have to fight with them as many times as we need more ships." Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s fun for the Japanese to buy warships for free with Japanese money? Just wait and see the show.¡± Sun Feihu laughed: ¡°Chief, this is a good move. It's black." Li Zhenhua also smiled and said: "They came to me on their own. There is a Chinese saying that Zhou Yu is willing to fight if he wants to fight. This is what they offered to buy my service, but it was my condition. It must be higher, but I can¡¯t blame others.¡± On the third day, Yamada Kazuo came again. It seemed that this Japanese was really persistent in doing things. After entering the door, Yamada Kazuo bowed to Li Zhenhua and said to him before he spoke. We don't need to bargain. Just show your trump cards. If it suits you, I'll cooperate. If it doesn't suit, you won't be able to leave today." "I don't understand what you mean, General?" "I don't understand. If we cooperate, you will do it in the future. My subordinate, it will be fine. If you don't cooperate, you are not afraid of leaking the news. I am afraid that if the news is not leaked, I will not let you walk out of this room alive." Yamada Kazuo's expression immediately changed. China's generals are really difficult to deal with. Maybe he will really let me die here today. It doesn't matter if I die here, the emperor's orders will not be fulfilled. But I am living up to His Majesty's expectations. Yamada Kazuo wiped his sweat and said to Li Zhenhua: "After our efforts, we agreed to let you take charge of the intelligence network in the China region, but we only promised to give you three million taels of silver." "Bagh Ya Road" Li Zhenhua immediately heard what he said. He used one of their scoldings and yelled: "First, you are not allowed to say the word "zhi" in China from now on. Second, you can't come with three million taels." Yamada Kazuo was so sweaty that this general changed his face so quickly. I He just said China and three million taels and he didn't want to. Yamada's heart was quickly calculating how to solve this problem. Li Zhenhua¡¯s eyes were fixed on Yamada, but his mind was also calculating.With three million taels in his account, he could buy two pretty good cruisers, plus the Japanese intelligence network in China was almost there. But he didn't speak, still staring at Yamada with his eyes. "Four million taels, general, is the highest price. This will also reduce our intelligence funds in China. In addition, Japan has all the spy networks in China. In addition, it has given you ten beauties, two of whom are close relatives of the royal family." The princess can¡¯t do it this year because our princess is only twelve years old this year. She can give it to you next year.¡± Li Zhenhua almost fainted when he heard what he said, so he gave it to me as a teenager. What do you think it is? This bunch of beasts, but for the sake of the money, he didn't get angry and just stretched out his hand to Yamada Kazuo: "Bring the money." Yamada Kazuo's heart finally relaxed. It seemed that he agreed, but the general also recognized it too much. The money is ready, so he said to Li Zhenhua: "Will the money be deposited into your account tomorrow or will I give you a bank note?" "Pay it to my bank account." Ordinary people who collect black money will not pay it to their account. He is a general, he has his own bank, and any kind of black money is clean in his hands. He is not afraid of whether the money is black or not. Li Zhenhua said to Sun Feihu again: "Prepare a set of detailed information about the Beiyang Navy and hand it over to Mr. Kazuo Yamada tomorrow." "Yes." Kazuo Yamada bowed to Li Zhenhua and left. Sun Feihu said to Li Zhenhua: "Really give them the details about the Beiyang Navy." Information? " "Give them the information from the year before last. You know what should be kept secret. If you exchange a pile of waste paper for four million taels, we will make a lot of money. Don't forget that they have an intelligence network. When will we be happy? You can destroy them directly. You must always remember that we are businessmen and our purpose is to make profit." After saying this, both of them laughed. "What should I do with those ten beauties, chief?" "If you forget about this, if I accept those ten beauties, my two wives won't eat me up," Li Zhenhua exclaimed in an extremely exaggerated manner. Sun Feihu laughed on the side. The chief loved his two wives very much, but he had never been so afraid of his wife. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 153 The princess can be given to you next year (text) Text Chapter 154 Business of Silk and Tea Chapter 154: Selling Silk and Tea Chapter 154: Selling Silk and Tea Li Zhenhua was spinning around in circles. These ten "beauties" were really difficult to deal with. They were most likely Japanese intelligence agents who kept them around for surveillance. He couldn't keep it around him. He didn't even think about how those little girls who were only 12 or 3 years old could be trained to be spies, unless they started training as soon as they came out of her mother's belly. If not, just send them back. Then why not let them work? But what are they doing? This is really hard to decide. Li Zhenhua thought of a job, that is, the Japanese forced the child laborers in China to do silk work. They put the silkworm pupae that had spun silk into boiling water and scalded them to death, and then fished out the silkworm pupae. The child laborers had to do this every day. The hands of the children who worked for more than ten hours were burned in the high temperature, which was very pitiful. He just wanted them to do this kind of work. At least they were all beauties. He couldn't be too cruel, so he talked to Sun Feihu and asked him to arrange it. The next day, Sun Feihu and Yamada Kazuo handed over. Yamada Kazuo also wanted to see Li Zhenhua, but Sun Feihu said that Li Zhenhua went to Beijing again. Who knows whether what they said was true. They brought a receipt from Xinghua Bank and a list of intelligence personnel in China. At the same time, there were ten girls. Sun Feihu was immediately stunned when he saw it. The Japanese were really not a thing. Ten of them came. The so-called "beauties" turned out to be just some teenage girls. The oldest was less than fourteen years old, and the younger ones were only twelve or three. Their faces were covered with a thick layer of powder. Sun Feihu became popular as soon as he saw them. He scolded Kazuo Yamada and asked him to take all those little girls away. b This money was successfully transferred to the United States. The United States is in contact with the Chilean Navy to purchase two of their British-made warships. Negotiations are in progress and will be signed soon. Now that the money "sponsored" by the Japanese is in place, I don't feel bad about spending the free money. Even if it is successful. This happened because the submarine was fully responsible for driving them back to Fangcheng and modifying its power and firepower parts so that its speed could reach more than twenty-five knots. Later, the ship used to deal with the Japanese combined fleet would have a speed of twenty-five knots. The three-section "Yoshino". You must play it to the bottom of the sea. After the warship was refitted, it went directly to Pattananya for training and to provide fire support to the troops there, mainly to avoid being discovered by the Japanese. Because Li Zhenhua thought of the silk-cutting job, he called Sheng Xuanhuai and asked him to find out what happened to the silk in the Jiangnan area. Sheng Xuanhuai was a little embarrassed when he mentioned silk. He said to Li Zhenhua: "I really can't open my mouth when talking about this silk issue. I went a little too far on this silk matter. I'm sorry to that Hu Xueyan and Hu Dacaishen." "Sohub" "What's going on?" "The fight between me and Hu Xueyan was because we were two interest groups. I was with Mr. Li Hongzhang, and Hu Xueyan was Zuo Zongtang's man. Zuo and Li fought against each other. The two of us started fighting and that¡¯s why I dealt with Hu Xueyan like that. In fact, Hu Xueyan¡¯s hoarding of raw silk at that time was not entirely to make money for himself, but partly to protect the silk farmers and silk merchants in Jiangnan. He wanted to fight with Russia, Britain, and He was the only one who hoarded those raw silks because of the American foreign merchants. I feel guilty about Hu Xueyan here.¡± (It turned out that I was very disdainful of Sheng Xuanhuai after watching Mr. Gao Yang¡¯s film about Hu Xueyan, a red-top businessman from Taiwan. But then I saw it. Sheng Xuanhuai felt that those contributions in the late Qing Dynasty should be viewed from a historical perspective. This is why he changed his view of Sheng Xuanhuai.) "What is the situation now?" "Because there are no big merchants like Hu Xueyan. To deal with foreign merchants, foreigners have taken a lot of advantage in this regard. I have always wanted to restart Hu Xueyan's career, but since I don't have as much financial resources as Hu Xueyan, I can only lament that I will never be able to compete with the British in raw silk. Fight." "So what is the main business of foreigners in Shanghai?" "The other big one is tea. They control our export prices, which makes the tea farmers very angry." Li Zhenhua thought of the later generations. Some scenes from the TV series Xin'an Family show that in order to fight the British, the ambitious Chinese businessmen gritted their teeth and poured tea leaves into the Huangpu River, defeating the British with their desperate temperament. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua thought that if he had a fight with the British based on the strength of his Xinghua Group, the chances of victory would be no problem. His own funds should not be a problem now, so he would have a fight with them. So he asked: "If we compete with the British on these two items, how much capital do you estimate we will need?" "If we participate in these two commercial operations at one time, it should be 80 million silver dollars. If it is divided into two times, then All we need is 40 million silver dollars. I mean with him."We can't compete together. We have to fight separately. First, there is a lack of funds. Second, we are afraid that we don't have enough manpower." " Li Zhenhua smiled and said to Sheng Xuanhuai: "Then we will compete with them according to your preparation of 80 million silver dollars. We must knock down their arrogance and fulfill one of your wishes. I don't think we need to divide it into two. Try to get them down once and for all. "Thank you, General. I have already meant this, but I am embarrassed to tell you. After all, there is my personal selfishness in it." But if we are involved in two businesses at the same time and neither of us is very familiar with the business, wouldn¡¯t it be difficult to handle it? "Sheng Xuanhuai became a little timid. Li Zhenhua said: "This is how we will handle this matter. First, we will choose an Anhui merchant with the most national pride and a similarly reputable silk merchant. They will take the lead and start preparations immediately. We will vigorously support them. In the summer, our drama will be staged. We must win these two items. Even Hu Xueyan has the intention to protect national agriculture and commerce, let alone us. " "Then let's go up. I am determined to fight these foreign devils and vent my many years of grievances. " "Okay, then call Wang Xin, Jincheng, and Zhu Baosan together and let's work together to catch them off guard and knock them down so that they will never dare to bully us again. This time we don¡¯t seek to make money, we just seek to enable our tea farmers and silk farmers to earn more. ". The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 154: Managing Silk and Tea (Text) Text Chapter 155 The Tea Silk Discussion Chapter 155 Discussion on Tea Silk Chapter 155 Discussion on Tea Silk Several people came together one after another and together they all analyzed the tea leaves one by one: The late Qing Dynasty, that is, the second half of the 19th century, was a prosperous period for China's tea export trade. At that time, Shanghai was the largest tea distribution center in the country and Huizhou was the largest tea supplier. Huizhou is famous for its tea, and is famous for its green tea in Jian County. Qimen is famous for its black tea. As for its output, Jian County is the first to produce, with an annual export volume of more than 1,000 tons. The export of green tea in Huizhou began during the Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Guangxu years. Stimulated by the growth of tea export trade, Tunxi, with convenient transportation, quickly became a green tea blending and distribution base for various counties in Huizhou. There is a poem about bamboo branches that says: "Xin'an's native products are all worthy of praise. The spring tea and Zi tea are the best, and the Tunxi merchant gathering is prosperous every year." Anhui tea houses are divided into two categories: local tea shops and foreign tea shops due to different sales. Local tea shops are commonly known as "Shandong customers". Most of the tea merchants in the north are from Shandong. Every time after the Beginning of Summer, they come to Anhui to bring cash to buy goods. All the tea leaves are transported in bamboo baskets to Yuliang Overload Line (i.e. boat line) by waterway to Hangzhou and then to the northern destination for delivery. There are many local merchants in Yangzhuang who have tea numbers. Each box of clean tea is about 40 kilograms in wooden boxes. Yuliang and Shendu are the gathering places for tea numbers. The tea is packed by waterway from Jiujiang to Shanghai or transported by waterway to Hangzhou and then through Shanghai. Transshipment overseas. Hub "The tea shipped to Shanghai is all returned to the teahouse and sent out small samples to the tea shops. The tea masters will review it and then the general manager and the tea dealer will decide the price. Then the large samples will be judged, distributed in large quantities, weighed and then marketed. Russia accounts for the majority of the British. Beauty comes second.¡± Exported tea is divided into two categories: Xichun and Meicha. Divided into different thicknesses. This is the general situation of tea, and the silk merchants are mainly in Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang: This is the largest group of silk merchants in modern China who was born in the ancient town of Nanxun. If tea, porcelain and silk allow people in the Western world to get to know each other up close, Nanxun Town in Huzhou City, which is so prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River because of its silk business, has allowed people to see a rare gathering of wealthy people in modern Chinese history. "Four elephants, eight oxen, and seventy-two golden dogs" was a folk proverb used to describe the rich class who made their fortune in the silk industry at that time. "It is generally believed that "elephant" refers to the wealthy fifty-fifty people who own more than one million taels of silver. The rich from 10,000 to 1 million taels are called "ox" and the rich from 300,000 to 500,000 taels are called "dogs". Among them, the "four elephants" refer to the four families of Liu, Zhang, Pang and Gu. It is said that the property of the Liu family alone amounts to 20 million taels of silver, and the total wealth of the "four elephants, eight oxen, and seventy-two golden dogs" should be between 60 million and 80 million taels of silver. The rise of Nanxun silk merchants. It was the last year of the Qing Dynasty in China. At this time, the Qing government's annual fiscal revenue was only about 70 million taels of silver. This shows how rich these silk merchants are. Listening to what the following people said, this really makes Li Zhenhua. Some are confused. If these people are so rich, they should divide it equally. If these people's assets are distributed to those poor people, how many people will they be able to support? After discussing together, we decided to get involved in these two industries this year. Then let Sheng Xuanhuai go to Nanxun in Huzhou first to learn about the silk market with the wealthy businessmen and then find a way to enter this industry. Zhu Baosan went to Anhui. The main thing Li Zhenhua said to them was that you should go down and take care of everything yourself. I won¡¯t get involved. If there are any difficulties, you can just say hello to me. Li Zhenhua himself has nothing else to do. I also went to Nanxun in Huzhou, Zhejiang with Sheng Xuanhuai. This time, Wang Xin accompanied them. It would be troublesome to go by car from Shanghai to Nanxun. If you have to walk a few miles or more than ten miles, you will have to look for it again. There are bridges and rivers everywhere, and there is no way to go. There is only one best way, which is to go by boat. It happens that Shen Baoxiang is familiar with the terrain in that area, so let him take a few people with him. The Shanghai Corporation has just produced a small speedboat for Shanghai Road. They are using it to patrol the Huangpu River. So you can use it yourself first. If you use manpower to rock it, it will take two or three days. If you have a small steamer, then But it¡¯s much faster. The straight-line distance from Shanghai to Nanxun is only 200 miles. If we go by water, it will be more than 300 miles. But the speed of the small speedboat is not slow, which is more than 30 miles per hour. It looks like it will take a day's journey. But the design of the small speedboat is good. Although it is intended for river cruises, if it is used for long-distance voyages, several cabins will need to be modified for special use. It would be much better to have a bedroom for passengers traveling on long journeys, so the shipyard rearranged it and created a few bedrooms. They also specially designed a large bed for Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin. It didn't matter that they redesigned it, but they didn't expect that the Shanghai Head Office would be asked again. Li ?? made another huge sum of money.When Hua Hua heard that they were going to refit, he just told them to make it a yacht. There are many rich people there, and their travel mainly relies on waterways. Then our yacht may have a good market. When Gao Qiang heard this, he immediately took action. First, he called the technical workers together to discuss. Everyone thought there was no problem. Then they ran to the Huangpu River to take a look at the foreign yachts, and immediately they had their own ideas. After a few days of intense work, a modern version of the yacht appeared. However, after Li Zhenhua looked at it, he felt that it was a bit nondescript. It turned out that there were actually two 37 cannons on it. This was what the guards had asked from the beginning. When the leader wanted to go out, he was not willing to bring too many guards. They had to go up there again. Two rapid-fire cannons. Seeing that they were kind-hearted, Li Zhenhua didn't let them dismantle the entire speedboat. The speedboat was gray-white, with a layer of bottom cabin on the bottom and a layer of glass windows above the waterline. There was a layer of sleeping cabins and a row of windows above, which allowed a good observation of the outside. The top floor is not for people to live in, but there is a circle of railings around it, and a rainproof layer is built on it. Some chairs are placed in it to enjoy the scenery and dine. Since it is a yacht, it must be The guests above are watching the scenery on the boat during the day, so they can't be exposed to the rain or the sun. Besides, the rich people wear clean clothes when they come out. It's not good for dust to fall on them. This way, there is a roof. It's a bit cleaner too, isn't it? In addition, bathrooms, kitchens and other facilities are all available. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 155 The Tea Silk Discussion (Text) Text Chapter 156 Yacht Chapter 156 Yacht Chapter 156 Yacht In addition, they also designed an office cabin with a circle of sofas and several coffee tables among them. Li Zhenhua was speechless when he saw it. It seemed that these technicians had really put in a lot of effort. Wang Xin immediately asked: "How much is the cost?" Gao Qiang said: "Less than 40,000 silver dollars." Wang Xin added: "The selling price should be 80,000 silver dollars." Gao Qiang: "It can sell for 6 Ten thousand is enough." People set off on the yacht and headed south along the Huangpu River. On the small speedboat, everyone got to the top and sat there watching the scenery on both sides. The speed of the yacht was very fast, and it could probably reach ten knots, but considering other factors, The fishing boats are not that fast either. "It would be much better if you publish some publicity in our Morning Bell newspaper as soon as possible." Wang Xin immediately said anxiously that he had a very strong reaction to Yin Zi, Wang Xin. "Then build a small high-speed speedboat specifically for delivering letters to them." "Then build a telegraph room there and build a fast track for airships. It can be a good place for postal and freight transportation." Several people said that the money came in like running water. hub It is spring now and everything is green. Although it is not as good as the scenery in summer, it is much better than in the north. The mulberry trees on both sides of the bank are growing very well. Many of the mulberry picking girls are wearing colorful clothes. They are walking among the mulberry trees. They look good. Sitting on a yacht with Jiangnan style makes people feel relaxed and happy. The spring days are longer. In the evening, the yacht arrived at the ancient town of Nanxun in Huzhou. People here have never seen such a steamship. It immediately attracted a large number of people to watch. People pointed at the yacht with their hands. Some well-off women were mixed in among them. The news soon spread throughout the town. In the evening, in the Zhang family hall in the small town of Nanxun, Zhang Heping, the young owner of "Zhang Huan and Silk Shop", was talking to his father Zhang Baoqing about a speedboat docked at the town pier. Next to him was his cousin Zhang Jingjiang. "The speed of that speedboat is very fast. If we have such a speedboat, we can know what happens in Shanghai on the same day. It is really a good weapon for reporting messages." "My nephew said that the speedboat is incomparable and the top There is also a steel cannon at the front and back, which can be used to withstand lake bandits for a while. "Is it another foreign thing?" the old man said disdainfully. "It doesn't look like something from foreigners. The decorations on it are all in the style of our country. Secondly, there are no foreigners on it. It's all Chinese people working on it. hub" "If it's not something from foreigners, then you need to take a look. You two brothers will do your best to figure this out tomorrow. If appropriate, we can also buy a few speedboats for patrols or reporting. If not, it is also a good thing to use them to tow our cargo ships. Just go and figure it out and don't tell me." The two of them left the hall and planned to find out about the origin of the speedboat tomorrow. A person came to report: "The two young masters heard about the speedboat on the dock. A speedboat is the speedboat of the Yunnan general Li family in the south. "It's the speedboat of the south general Li Zhenhua. I wonder why they are so unusual." Said to himself. "Brother, go and talk to the uncle. If this is the person, we need to make friends. A few years ago, they defeated the French army in Annan. We found out a little late and didn't donate some money to him. Now that he's here, we have to do our best. It¡¯s time to become a landlord. I¡¯ll go outside to take a look.¡± Brother Zhang Jingjiang said. "Brother, be careful. I'll go in and talk to my father." "It's the eldest brother. Don't worry, I'll be careful." After saying that, the two brothers broke up and Zhang Jingjiang went to the young master's house in someone else's house outside. He always took a small sedan when going out. But Zhang Jingjiang was riding a bicycle. Zhang Jingjiang soon arrived at the pier and saw several people on the boat who were about to disembark. Zhang Jingjiang threw the car down and naturally someone put it behind him. Zhang Jingjiang took a closer look at these people. One of the young people had a dignified and calm look. The lady next to him was as beautiful as a fairy. Only the one at the back is relatively inconspicuous, but his spirit is also extraordinary. Although these people are good-looking, their clothes are a bit nondescript. They are neither foreign tuxedos nor Chinese robes and jackets. What makes them look even more different is that only the one at the back is dressed like an ordinary person. Zhang Jingjiang took a few steps to meet those few people.The people who came down raised their hands and said, "I'm sorry to bother you." Then the series started to the end. When Li Zhenhua saw a young man saluting him, he couldn't be rude and he happened to be walking on the springboard, so he had no choice but to wave to him in return. Why don't you hand over the one that is supporting Wang Xin? Sheng Xuanhuai also raised his hands in response to the gift from behind. It's hard to say that Wang Xin would have been a blessing if she had worn the original clothes. However, she was wearing "casual clothes", which was the name given by her husband, but she didn't know how to do it. Laugh it off. Zhang Jingjiang had seen a photo of Li Zhenhua in the newspaper that looked a bit like him, so he took the liberty to ask: "Are you that General Li?" "I am Li Zhenhua." Although Zhang Jingjiang said he was mentally prepared, he still He was shocked. This was really the famous consort of General Li. He hurriedly lifted up his robe and knelt down. Li Zhenhua stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Hello." This modern etiquette came out. Zhang Jingjiang took his hand and shook it tightly. Zhang Jingjiang often knew the etiquette of shaking hands in Shanghai, so he naturally shook hands with Li Zhenhua. After shaking hands, Sheng Xuanhuai also extended his hand. Zhang Jingjiang also shook his hand. What he didn't expect was that the lady's hand was also He stretched out his hand to shake his hand, which made Zhang Jingjiang hesitate for a moment, but he felt that it would be rude not to extend his hand, so he also shook Wang Xin's hand, but his face was as red as red cloth Li Zhenhua I laughed secretly in my heart that even men in this era are so closed-minded. It should be changed. Seeing the young man so embarrassed, I had to smooth things over for him: "Excuse me, sir" "I don't dare Zhang Jingjiang." This time it was Li Zhenhua's turn to be surprised again. At this time, Zhang Jingjiang was only seven years old, but he would be Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Minister of Finance in the future. He would definitely be a God of Wealth, but it seemed that he was younger than himself now. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 156 Yacht (Text) Text Chapter 157 Four Elephants, Eight Oxen, Seventy-two Dogs Chapter 157 Four Elephants, Eight Oxen, Seventy-Two Dogs Chapter 157 Four Elephants, Eight Oxen, and Seventy-Two Dogs But Li Zhenhua still continued: "Mr. Zhang" "Just call me. (Crazy beating)" "Then just call Brother Jingjiang "Then Zhang Jingjiang was stunned again. Why is this general the prince so easy to talk to? He was a little uncomfortable with calling him brother. ¡°I¡¯m a newbie here and want to know more about the local customs and customs. Can you tell me?¡± After staying here for a long time, Li Zhenhua also learned some ancient people¡¯s language habits. "Of course, please invite the general to come to the humble residence to talk." "Well, I see that you are younger than me, so I will call you brother. You can also call me Brother Li without being polite." Zhang Jingjiang said hurriedly. : "That can't be done in an orderly manner." But since he was young, he didn't have to be so particular about it, so he readily agreed to be worthy of brother Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua saw that this was a good idea, so he said to Zhang Jingjiang: "Let's go on my yacht. It's very convenient. What do you think, brother?" Zhang Jingjiang was thinking of going on his speedboat to visit. How could he not? After agreeing, he readily agreed and they returned to the yacht together. Wang Xin naturally wanted to take care of it and asked the people below to prepare tea, wine and food. It would be very impolite for people to sit and chat. b Wang Xin entered the living room. Li Zhenhua introduced Sheng Xuanhuai, Wang Xin and Shen Baoxiang again. Sheng Xuanhuai is the deputy general manager of "Xinghua Group Company". Wang Xin is also the deputy general manager of Xinghua Group Company. She is the famous "money man" in Yunnan. Wang's grand-niece, she is also the deputy of Wang's enterprise, and Shen Baoxiang is the chief leader of the Qinggang, the largest gang in Shanghai. The names of several people are placed here. These people were all famous figures in the Qing Dynasty at that time, not to mention that there was such a god-like general in front of them. My family's property is well-known in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, but when compared with others, it is far behind. Zhang Jingjiang wanted to kneel down and greet him again. Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Now that I am your eldest brother, you must listen to your eldest brother. Since you knew me before, you should know that I don't like to kneel down the most. From now on we If you are a brother, don¡¯t do this.¡± Zhang Jingjiang stopped kneeling. At this time, someone served tea and rescued Zhang Jingjiang. Li Zhenhua said to Zhang Jingjiang: "This tea may not be as good as yours, so just make do with it. Now, please introduce our silk business situation in Nanxun." "How about a moment." Zhang Jingjiang also calmed down at this time. If someone has something to do with him, he shouldn't be polite anymore. I'll just tell him what he wants to know. So Zhang Jingjiang started to introduce the situation of silk merchants in Nanxun to people. . booom "I wonder what the general wants to know?" "Then let's start with the four elephants, the eight oxen, and the seventy-two golden dogs. I am very interested in these." Zhang Jingjiang smiled slightly: "This is what the common people know. You can't take the joke seriously." Wang Xin also smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, please tell me. We all want to know what's going on." Zhang Jingjiang took a sip of tea and started talking to a few people. According to the records of Yuanhe counties and counties: "Gong silk cloth was opened outside Huzhou". As early as the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Hu silk had become a tribute and also formed an industry. In the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty's Food and Huo Zhi said: "The sound of the carriage being picked up when standing on the cocoon foil mountain can be heard from house to house.". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hu silk had been exported abroad. Wuxing Zhi of Jiatai said: "Hu silk is spread all over the world." Jili Lake silk is even more famous at home and abroad because the texture of Jili Lake silk is white, fine, even and rich in tensile strength, which is better than other Lake silk. Right." (Nanxun was called Nanlin in ancient times). At that time, the lake silk production and quality were the best in Nanxun. The poet Dong Lizhou during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty praised in the Sericulture Yuefu: "Among the only counties in our lake where silkworms are prosperous, Nanxun is the best." The right time and place are good for the business. Silk and wealth made the wealthy gentry wealthy during the Guangxu period. Later, people added the saying of seventy-two golden dogs. According to folklore, those with a family wealth of more than one million taels at that time were called "elephant", those with more than 500,000 taels but less than one million were called "cows" and those with more than 300,000 taels but less than 500,000 were called "dogs". At that time, our boss Liu Yong in Nanxun Town was the leader of the "Four Symbols", followed by our Zhang family. My grandfather Zhang Songxian. According to legend, his wealth was second only to the Liu family, occupying the second place among the Four Symbols, and Pang Yunzeng occupied the third place. It is my grandfather's house, and the fourth one is Gu Fuchang, whose nickname is Chunchi. He was a Chinese student and was called Gu Liu's father-in-law after he started his own business. In fact, these four elders nowThey are all dead now, and now their descendants are running the silk industry. The other is the Banniu. In fact, their strength is not the same: Xing Gengxing is the head of the Eight Niu in Nanxun. Silk sutra travels". It also opened the largest number of pawn shops in Nanxun. Zhou Chang is famous for his poetry and music style. His ancestral home was Yuyao, Zhejiang in the middle of the Qianlong period, and he moved to our Nanxun and opened "Shentai Silk Hao" and "Shenchang Silk Hao". People in the town called him Zhou Shentai, one of the eight cows of Nanxun. Qiu Xiancha Zi Qishen opened the "Qichang Silk Sutra" line. One of the Eight Bulls of Nanxun. Chen Xuyuan¡¯s original name was Xiong, whose name was Zhuping. He is one of the eight famous Silk Road peripherals "Yuchang Jijing" traveling in Nanxun. Jintong is named Zhuting. He dropped out of school at an early age and started doing business in Shanghai, where he became a silk expert and made a fortune. His eldest son Jin Shou is also known as one of the Eight Niu of Nanxun in "Little Jinshan". Zhang Peishen opened Yuantai Silk Shop and worked as the director of the sales department at the head office of Shanghai Commercial Bank. One of the Eight Bulls of Nanxun. Mei Hongji¡¯s courtesy name is Yuecha. The "Hengyu Silk Classic" line was opened and one of the earliest machine-produced silk factories in Nanxun was opened in the Zimei Exhibition of Nanxun. Shao Yisen opened the "Senda Silk Sutra" shop and set up the "Shao Yueji Silk Shop" in Shanghai to produce "Qingshi Brand" silk sutras. The townspeople called him one of the Eight Bulls of Shao Sen and Nanxun. Zhang Jingjiang has a very good memory. He told several people about Nanxun's situation one by one. In addition, he was relatively young and spoke without any scruples. He told Li Zhenhua all about Nanxun's situation. If he met an older person, he might It won't be as detailed as what he said. At the same time, he also told about the seventy-two golden dogs. The seventy-two "dogs" of Nanxun include the four townships around Nanxun. Those in the town include: Qiu Maotai, Qiu Gaimao, Qiu Yichang, Qiu Desheng, Shen Tuji, Shen Yongchang, Shen Yongfeng, Shen Tianchang, Li Hengde, Li Wanshun, Li Demao, Wu Jinchang, Wu Qichang, Wu Yongji, Zhu Chongmao, Zhu Guanglong, Zhuang Hengqing, Xing Fengji, Bu Tongchang, Han Yichang, Gui Zhihe, Pan Yongji, Pan Dashun, Zhang Fengtai, Zhang Hengfeng, Xu Shixing, Xu Huihe, Xu Renchang, Xie Senyuan, Liu Tongde, Pang Tongshun, Ding Changji, etc. all opened silk sutras and made a fortune. The four townships include the Beixiaowei Zhang family, Qiaoxia Zhang family, Wulou Zhang family, Xieqiao (Tudou) Jin family, Wujiating Sheng family, stonemason (Tudou) Qiu family, Qili Village Wen family, and Zixiwan Chen family, Zangguqiao Wang family, etc. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 157 Four Elephants, Eight Oxen and Seventy-Two Dogs (Text) Text Chapter 158 Who invites whom? Chapter 158: Who invited whom? Chapter 158: Who invited whom? Zhang Jingjiang told Li Zhenhua one by one about the situation in the town, which made Li Zhenhua, Wang Xin and Sheng Xuanhuai admire him greatly. This young man's memory is really good. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but praise him for his good memory. I said in my heart that this person will definitely be a powerful assistant to me in the future. Several people were talking. Suddenly someone came to report that Zhang Jingjiang's eldest brother, Zhang Heping, had come to see him. Li Zhenhua hurriedly invited Zhang Heping to come in. Soon, Zhang Henglian came in and saw several people who also bowed their hands to Zhang Jingjiang. He hurriedly introduced their identities to his elder brother, which also surprised Zhang Hengheng. They exchanged greetings and then sat down. Zhang Hengli thought to himself: What are these such famous people doing in this small town of Nanxun? Seeing Zhang Junheng's expression, everyone knew what they were thinking. Seeing that he was on guard, Sheng Xuanhuai said to him: "Young Master, we are here for no other reason. We just gave birth to a baby recently." We want to see if this new type of yacht is marketable in your country. You also know that General Li has now incorporated Shanghai's Jiangnan Machinery Bureau into his own Xinghua Group Corporation. Our current production is much lower than before. It's a big improvement from before. b" "Is it that yacht outside?" "That's right." After hearing Sheng Xuanhuai's explanation, Zhang Hengping's expression relaxed. It turned out that their trip was not detrimental to him. They are just here to sell their products. So he felt relieved and started talking to them. Of course, he mainly wanted to know about the various performances of this kind of yacht and what he could use this small speedboat for in the future. But these people wanted to know some local conditions from his mouth. After talking for a while, Zhang Heping took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He said to Li Zhenhua: "General, it's getting late today, so I won't invite you to the humble abode. I will definitely come and invite you to the humble abode tomorrow before deciding to buy." "After that, the two brothers stood up to go back. Li Zhenhua and others also stood up to see them out. They were polite again, and then the two brothers walked to the dock and Li Zhenhua and others saw them out. A few people came back and sat down to discuss, and they finally got some understanding of this small town. This place is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. If the properties of these people are added together, it is the current annual income of the Qing government. It seems that there are still many things that I should do here. I can build a telegraph room. What businessmen value most is information. If there is a telegraph room, the information transmission between them will be much faster. Secondly, they need to establish it here. A branch of a bank has a lot of money here. If it absorbs it, it can do a lot of things and also provide loans to them. However, their money is highly seasonal, so when it comes to purchasing silk, the amount will be large. booom Shen Baoxiang added, "Our inland shipping can also be carried out here to help them transport the silk here and earn some freight. It seems that Shen Baoxiang often hangs with these people and has learned to observe business opportunities." As soon as a few people got together, they had a lot of things to do, so they immediately decided to build a telegraph room, a bank branch in Nanxun, a shipping office, a hotel, and a restaurant here first, and then build a comprehensive service center. The upper part of the building is a hotel and restaurant, and there is also a larger conference room. The lower part is a telegraph room, a bank branch, a yacht sales office, etc. It also needs to build a primary school. Some of the children here are private schools that must be educated. The traditional education method is obviously backward. People on the yacht were studying how to serve, while the two Zhang brothers returned home and began to report the results of the warehousing trip to their elders. The old club was shocked when the two of them introduced those people. These people are amazing. They are some of the best people in the Qing Dynasty. They are not just selling yachts here. You must find out who they are. What are you here for? ? ? If only a few servants came here specifically to sell yachts, it could be done. But instead they came with a group of top people. Why? Not only is he thinking like this, but the other elephants, cows, and dogs are not idle either. They are also studying how to deal with these outsiders. Nanxun is a relatively small place, and the people here are very united, but they are also very cruel in business competition. The next day, the yacht began to receive those who came to invite them. It turned out that at that time, if you wanted to understand a company, you had to learn about it from the side, or you had to contact them and learn about it through conversation. When they learned that Zhang Jingjiang and their two brothers had both met yesterday. After boarding the yacht, each family couldn't hold back their anger. They also wanted to know the situation, so soon they received more than a dozen invitations, all of which were invited to their humble homes for dinner. Although Sheng Xuanhuai was very familiar with these things.?But he knew that these people all had good reputations. Especially among the four signs, there was "the Liu family's money, the Zhang family's talent, the Pang family's face. And the Gu family's house." It seemed that it was not good for whom he was going to. Since those people did not reply, they just waited to see whose house they were going to. This made Sheng Xuanhuai difficult to say, so he and Li Zhenhua went to discuss which house it would be more appropriate to go to. Li Zhenhua saw that this was really hard to explain, so Li Zhenhua said: "Why don't we just invite them in turn? There are more than a dozen of them, right? Well, let's treat them to guests, and let them come and visit our yacht on the way." If you want to sell goods, you have to let people check the quality of the goods first. That¡¯s it. We are having a treat today. Brother Sheng, please write us an invitation. Brother Shen, if your people run away for us, follow those people¡¯s servants to them. We can invite them to their homes to make them bigger. At least the four elephants and eight cows should be brought in, and the other dogs should be brought. Anyway, our cabin is not small and can fit in it." So Sheng Xuanhuai wrote immediately. Some invitations came outside and when everyone was announced, the servants saw that this person was really interesting. He didn't invite anyone but was invited by others. The few waiters under Shen Baoxiang held invitations in their hands. Those who came took their invitations back, and some who had not arrived asked them to take their invitations back with them. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 158 Who invites whom (text) Text Chapter 159 ¡°Yacht¡± Promotion Conference Chapter 159 "Yacht" Promotion Meeting Chapter 159 "Yacht" Promotion Meeting Look at the sky, it's almost noon. Some merchants have arrived one after another. Others have arrived. After others have arrived, they can only stand in the distance. The four in front must first let go. The gentleman went in first, followed by the eight gentlemen behind him, and then the seventy-two "dogs" behind him. Naturally, Sheng Xuanhuai and Shen Baoxiang were standing outside to greet the guests. Li Zhenhua didn't have to come out, but it can be said that first, the four "Xiang" families came together to welcome them in. After them, the eight "cows" came. Others came. There were no more than a dozen people, and the living room of the yacht could accommodate a total of only thirty people. In addition to the host, there were three tables in total. At the head of the table was Li Zhenhua and the other four. Others were reluctant to sit over at first, but Li Zhenhua took the initiative to invite and no one dared not to give face. Several people sat over. Then Sheng Xuanhuai sat in front of the second table. It was mainly for the eight families, but there were already people sitting on the chief table, so it was supplemented by people from the third class. The third table was hosted by Shen Baoxiang, and most of them were from the third class. of merchants. First, we served tea to everyone. After chatting for a while, a businessman proposed to visit this yacht. Li Zhenhua stood up and said to everyone: "Okay, then please move outside and let us have a look." Everyone got up and walked outside. Li Zhenhua led everyone to the cockpit first. Sheng Xuanhuai introduced everyone: "This is the cockpit of the yacht and the main place where the captain works. This yacht has a displacement of 300 tons and its speed is very fast. It is twelve knots per hour, which means about forty-seven or eight miles. Since we are on an inland river, its speed cannot be fully utilized. When the water surface is wide and there are no other cargo ships, it can cover that much, but the ship has a lot of water. It won't work in a narrow situation. "Sohub" "This kind of ship is flexible to operate. The main fuel is coal and residual oil. Its design is very advanced and very fuel-saving. The average crew member can master it in ten days or even a novice." One month will be enough. The main thing is that it is not expensive. If foreigners sell it to us, it will cost at least 200,000 silver dollars. And they can't make it in a style that suits the needs of us Chinese people. But our Xinghua Group Company's Jiangnan Shipbuilding The factory only wants to sell it for 100,000 yuan." This offer shocked people. It turns out that they don't know the price of foreign products. It's impossible to get a ship like this for hundreds of thousands of yuan. What surprises them most is that foreigners can't make one like this yet, but Xinghua Group Company has already made one and adapted it to our forms. This shows how powerful their abilities are. They came to the cabin below again. Sheng Xuanhuai introduced everyone to the work cabin of the crew on the ship and then entered the main part of the yacht. There are living rooms, offices, rest cabins, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. Each cabin has bright windows. Shen Baoxiang said to everyone: "The biggest advantage of this yacht is that each of us can design it based on our own needs. Some people want a fast word, some people want a good and comfortable environment. Our boss This is called adapting to people's needs. Our shipyard can manufacture products based on everyone's needs. "All the merchants said in unison: "This is great. We could not even think of manufacturing according to individual needs before. "Yeah." Everyone came to the top of the yacht, which is used to enjoy the scenery. It is very convenient for dozens of people to hold a banquet or something. Everyone was chatting on the upper floor. At this time, the yacht had already sailed outside the town. Sheng Xuanhuai asked his men to bring some telescopes. He asked everyone to use these to see the distant scenery. This made the merchants really understand what they were doing. It makes people swim in the painting, and it also opens the eyes of people who have never seen a telescope. Yes, Jiangnan is originally like a landscape. Watching the scenery on a boat is like a person swimming in a painting. This makes people feel so comfortable. They really livened up this product introduction. I briefly introduced my products to everyone so that people could have a preliminary understanding. The rich people in Nanxun Town are not from this generation, but have developed their careers decades ago. Regardless of their age, they are all scholars. Compared with ordinary Chinese, it is easier for them to contact the outside world because of their cultural level. Otherwise, why would there be so many businessmen who joined the Tongmenghui back then. The members of the Nanxun Alliance provided a lot of financial support to Sun Wen at that time. Those people are in front of this product introduction. Finally, someone started to make a decision. Nanxun's number one rich man immediately took action. He wanted to buy four ships first for fun. Immediately afterwards, the Zhang family, the Zeng family, and the Gu family all requested to buy three ships. One can be used to enjoy the scenery, serve as a courier to deliver urgent letters, and can also be used to transport their own goods. It is this sales meeting that will reduce the production of Jiangnan Shipyard this year and next.Now that they have settled, there are forty yachts that they are interested in buying. Every wrinkle on Sheng Xuanhuai's face has now spread out, and the business is so smooth. This is something he has never encountered before. Shen Baoxiang also sighed greatly on the side that the boss is good. This is really a deliberate planting of flowers but not blooming. Unintentional planting willows, Liu Chengyin is the boss. A few unintentional words allowed the factory below to make a lot of money. Although it is spring, the weather is no longer cool. Zhang Jingjiang quietly said to Li Zhenhua: "General, why don't we put the banquet up there? Wouldn't it be great to enjoy the scenery and sing wine and write poems at the same time?" "Okay, just follow it. Tell everyone what you said, let¡¯s put the banquet on the top floor and let¡¯s enjoy the scenery, sing wine and write poems together.¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to do things with so many people. Everyone moved the banquet to the top floor. Originally, some people blamed Zhang Jingjiang for being too busy. Once everyone is busy working together, there is no opinion at all. Everyone sat down again and the food was quickly served. Li Zhenhua asked people to get some wine. But they saw that it was Kweichow Moutai. At first, people thought that some ordinary wine would be enough. Unexpectedly, the general used Moutai to entertain everyone. The relationship between people and Li Zhenhua unconsciously feels that it has become one step closer. Li Zhenhua did not expect that people would still be so enthusiastic after selling for 100,000 yuan, so Li Zhenhua said something that made everyone happy: "Every yacht is giving everyone a profit of 5,000 yuan." This is how business is done, so you can't be too shady, right? Sheng Xuanhuai also told everyone the idea of ??Xinghua Group Company to build a comprehensive service company locally. When people heard that they were planning to invest in the construction of public facilities such as hotels, restaurants, telegraph rooms, banks, schools and shops, these businessmen I feel very ashamed that I judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. How can people who have seen big events fight for petty profits like country people? You see, what others think is all what everyone thinks in their own hearts. Things you want to do but can¡¯t do. Shen Baoxiang announced another thing that will make all businessmen happy: to build a yacht repair shop here to facilitate yacht maintenance. People can't help but admire Xinghua Group Company even more. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 159 "Yacht" Promotion Conference (Text) Text Chapter 160 Openness and Honesty Chapter 160: Open and Honest Chapter 160: Open and Honest So all the merchants expressed their gratitude to Li Zhenhua and asked Li Zhenhua to tell everyone a few words. Li Zhenhua immediately gave an impromptu speech: "Dear friends, we are businessmen who negotiated our business. Everyone is trying to make a profit, so some people say that we are villains. I am a villain, and everything I do is for profit. "hub" "Our Xinghua Group Company has made a lot of money over the years. I don't know how much money it is." I don¡¯t know. Anyway, there are hundreds of millions of taels of silver. But we can¡¯t just look at our own interests, but also look at the interests of our country. For example, our silk industry, which is dominated by Nanxun, is a problem. Now every one of us has its own problems. Those foreign business customers took advantage of some of our psychology and used various methods to lower our prices. They used the Zhang family's prices to lower the Li family's prices and then used the Li family's prices to deal with the Wang family. Because we did not have a strict organization. They can control our prices and do everything possible to lower our prices. In order not to lose money, we have to lower the prices of our silkworm farmers, so that those silkworm farmers will accuse us of being rich and unkind profiteers. How do you feel when you hear this? Are we willing to be called profiteers?" Li Zhenhua stopped and took a sip of tea. Sheng Xuanhuai then continued: "It's like this kind of machine ship. If foreigners sell one to us, it costs more than 200,000 silver dollars and we produce it ourselves. But it only costs 70,000 to 80,000 silver dollars. Similarly, if we sell to them, we will not ask for less money. This is to protect our private interests, but in any case, it is only our family that sets the price. If there are more yachts produced, then our family will say It doesn¡¯t count. Why? Because there will be competition, but several of our shipyards have set a rule that we have to do cost accounting and then add our own profits, so we should set the amount. But we won¡¯t. Influenced by others. " "That's the truth. What I mean is that we Nanxun silk merchants should unite and set a reasonable price. We must consider the interests of the silk farmers and the interests of the small silk merchants. We cannot cater to them. The interests of foreigners are working hard to suppress the prices of their silk farmers. We must strive for more profits from foreigners for our silk farmers, so that no one will accuse us of being black-hearted businessmen or saying that we are mercenary. "Everyone, think about it, is this true? " The people here today are not fools. They all understand the truth. But when things come to their own heads, some people will be unable to resist and will lower the price. Those who couldn't stand up could no longer stand, so the price came down, and those foreign businessmen got the price they wanted. sohubom Today, several outsiders came to discuss this matter with me. What they said was right. They were sincerely doing business with me, but now I can't make a decision because I am afraid that someone will damage the relationship between some people and those foreign businessmen in the future. But it is very They are so close that they don't care whether they are Chinese or not. They will only covet immediate interests. It is better to think about this matter in the long term. Li Zhenhua knows that today can only be regarded as a warning to people. Things are not that easy. Just relying on such rhetoric to make people feel at ease will not work. We still need to observe some people and beat some people. So Li Zhenhua said: "Dear friends, what Mr. Sheng just said today is up to you. Whether it works or not is up to you. But please do your own calculations after you go back. This will be beneficial to everyone. We can't just care about the interests of foreigners and ignore us." The interests of the Chinese people." At this time, Zhang Baoqing, the owner of the Zhang family, stood up and said: "What Mr. Sheng just said is that we cannot ignore the interests of the silk farmers below us. If we say we ignore them, they will dump us in the future. "It fell." As soon as Zhang Baoqing's words came out, there were people who supported Zeng Yuanji, the third of the four elephants, stood up and said: "What Zhang Dongjia said is that we cannot ignore the silk farmers below. Their production will be better after they get profits." Only when things get better can we benefit." Liu Dongjia, the leader of the Four Symbols, said: "It's a good thing, but I'm worried that people will not be united." This was obviously an excuse and his words were supported by some people. The Gu family of Four Elephants did not speak. It seemed that he wanted to observe before speaking. Like him, there are also some people who are clearly divided into three parts. Li Zhenhua and Sheng Xuanhuai looked at each other, which was the same as their original considerations. It would definitely be divided into three parts, so the two stopped talking about it and moved the conversation to other places. After everyone finished eating and drinking happily, the yacht came back. Shen Baoxiang immediately thought that if he opened a passenger ship company here, he could make money. He just needed to expand his original scope. Everyone happily got off the yacht. Before leaving, Sheng Xuanhuai said to people: "Our yacht will return to Shanghai tomorrow. If you want to follow us to Shanghai, you can come here to take the boat."Although they were polite, someone immediately said: "I am going to Shanghai, can I really go with you?" When everyone saw that it was Zhang Baoqing's nephew Zhang Jing and Jiang Shengxuanhuai, they immediately said: "Of course, you can come over early tomorrow morning." " All the merchants smiled and went back to see everyone off. Li Zhenhua and a few people discussed together for a while. It seems that we are still not familiar with the situation. However, today's harvest is not small. I roughly touched the background of these people and learned about them. some thoughts. We had to quickly get started with the few things we had planned, so we decided to keep Sheng Xuanhuai here to first set up an office to be in charge of the construction of the projects we planned. As for the land issue, the Zhang family has agreed to provide land to Xinghua Group Company. Then hurry up and start the construction. Sheng Xuanhuai still needs to continue to understand the situation here. It's impossible to be unclear. In the evening, some merchants who had not arrived at noon came to visit Sheng Xuanhuai. He was also warmly received and talked a lot with everyone. Zhang Jingjiang came over again and asked several people to learn about the situation of Modern School. However, brothers Pang Yuanji and Pang Yuancheng came to learn more. After looking at the conditions of the schools and hospitals of Shanghai Xinghua Group Company, Li Zhenhua thought that the founder of Fudan University in Shanghai was Pang Yuancheng, and he immediately began to pay attention to him. Li Zhenhua knew that there were many people from Nanxun in the early Tongmenghui because their lives were worry-free and they often came into contact with many new things and new ideas. They were dissatisfied with the rule of the Manchu government, so many of them joined. Alliance. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 160 Open and Honest (Text) Text Chapter 161 Silk Merchant Tour Group Chapter Silk Merchant Tour Group Chapter Silk Merchant Tour Group So I immediately invited him to visit the university I am planning in Shanghai tomorrow, my Shanghai Traditional Chinese and Western Hospital, and some other industries in order to draw him into my camp. Come. sohuboo Pang Yuancheng immediately agreed to Li Zhenhua and asked him to call some of his relatives and friends to go together. Pang Yuancheng was afraid that Li Zhenhua would be unhappy at first. Unexpectedly, General Li took the initiative and offered to let them go together by boat. He was fine with it. He was so happy that he hurriedly told Li Zhenhua that he would invite more people to go to Shanghai to have a look. Li Zhenhua thought in his mind that as long as he is willing to go, these people will definitely be attracted, and the possibility of them coming to Shanghai will be greater. He can give him the honorary principal of this school. If he is not interested in these, it might as well be Let those who are interested do it. Early the next morning, it brought a group of more than a dozen passengers who were "traveling" to Shanghai and the yacht began to return. On the way back, there were young people who were all chatting together. Someone from the Gu family also came up, and there were some other people. Among the "elephant", only the Liu family didn't come. I don't know why, but they probably don't know me well enough. But it's enough to have such a group of people. There is one Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the finance minister, and one who is the founder of Fudan University and the hospital. The number of enthusiasts this time is enough to illustrate the success of this trip. hub After arriving in Shanghai, Li Zhenhua immediately asked people to arrange for them to stay in his hotel and arrange their itinerary for the next day. Li Zhenhua returned to his residence. He wanted to summarize the situation of the past two days and sort out the things that needed to be done in Nanxun. By the way, I called Han Zhichao at the same time and told him about the order for more than 40 yachts. Han Zhichao almost jumped up with joy. He repeatedly asked Li Zhenhua what was going on, but Li Zhenhua had already After putting down the phone, he immediately got in the car and ran to Li Zhenhua to ask in person. When Li Zhenhua saw Han Zhichao running over, he had to tell what happened. Han Zhichao immediately settled the account and his Shanghai Machinery Corporation was able to survive. This is more than two years of work for his own shipyard. One ship is With more than 50,000 silver dollars in the account, that's two million silver dollars. Apart from supporting the workers, there is still something left over. Just from this alone, the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Company can make a profit. Han Zhichao was not polite. After returning, he immediately held a meeting of cadres above the workshop level to tell everyone the good news. He also decided to launch the work on five yachts tomorrow. At the same time, he notified Fangcheng to prepare 40 turbines and the necessary steel plates. Other things can be purchased nearby. But I was still a little dissatisfied with the yacht last time. This time I have to correct the dissatisfaction. This time I have to make it completely satisfied. Sohub's cadres couldn't help but immediately used various methods to notify their capable personnel. Those ship designers immediately started taking action overnight to redesign the areas they were not satisfied with last time. This time, the new yacht must be perfect. In addition, the unique requirements of some people must be taken into consideration to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. By the next morning, most people in the company's shipyard had already known the good news. The workers were also very happy. They were here to work and make money, but they were free without work. But what would they eat in the future? What to drink? Now the whole company is thinking only about work. There are no longer people who only make money and don¡¯t work. Those senior managers are not satisfied as long as they are not working hard. Now the whole company is thinking about one thing. Used in one place. Han Zhichao held a general meeting of the shipyard. At the meeting, the new chief engineer first informed everyone of the good news and then general manager Han Zhichao's mobilization report. Everyone in the company was happy. All units and types of work expressed their determination and guarantee to the superiors. We must hit the ground running and strive to turn losses into profits this year. After the meeting, the entire company became busy. They wanted to finish the work as quickly as possible and hand over high-quality yachts to the silk merchants. On the same day, Wang Xin accompanied the young silk merchants to the hospital. Nowadays, people still know very little about Western medicine, but people from Fangcheng all recognize it. It turns out that there is a major reason why people today reject Western medicine. The problem is that Western medicine is all hosted by foreigners. With their blue eyes and yellow hair, coupled with their half-baked Chinese language, it is inconvenient for people to communicate, so it is easy to create barriers, and naturally it is not so convenient to communicate. But the hospital of Xinghua Group Company is staffed by some Chinese people, especially some young and beautiful girls. This is different. It is easy for people to get familiar with them. In addition, whenever they encounter any situation, the girls always come forward, so the citizens of Shanghai quickly recognize them. At the same time, they also have some preliminary understanding of Western medicine. There is also your ownNewspapers also often report on some situations in hospitals for disaster relief and rescuing patients. The white ambulance in Shanghai is the best. It often appears in the streets and alleys of Shanghai to serve patients. Li Zhenhua also asked people to set up a special emergency hotline. As soon as the phone rings, someone will answer it immediately. If you need to make a visit or dispatch an ambulance, you will act immediately. This is indeed true. Saved some lives. Now Pang Yuancheng, Zhang Jingjiang and others have arrived at the Xinghua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Xinghua Group Company. Yao Wanqiu, the president and director of the nursing department, has come out to greet Yao Wanqiu, who was rescued by Li Zhenhua when he and Brother Niu (Zhang Zhenhua) went down the mountain for the first time. There was a girl who didn't like to talk or talk at first. She just silently helped everyone with some odd jobs. When someone was injured, she took the initiative to provide care. At the same time, she also worked hard to learn about care. Later, under the care of those big brothers, , with the help and guidance of the elder sisters, she slowly recovered from the grief of losing her loved ones, but she was still studying hard. The doctors in the camp liked her very much and specially added some small tricks to her to make her master in traditional Chinese medicine and medical care. improve rapidly. Because there is an element of gratitude in it, Yao Wanqiu is relatively close to Li Zhenhua and Zhang Xinghua. Li Zhenhua consciously wants them to get closer, but both of them say that they are still young and unwilling to consider this. But Li Zhenhua knows that she still loves him a little bit. But now that he had two wives, Yao Wanqiu began to face his own affairs. Li Zhenhua wanted them to get together, but neither of them agreed. This made Li Zhenhua feel a little unsure of what to do. The matter has been delayed until now with no result. Now that Yao Wanqiu has devoted all his energy to his work, he has no time to consider personal problems. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter Silk Merchant Tour Group (Text) Text Chapter 162 Enjoy visiting Chapter 162 Enjoy the visit Chapter 162 Enjoy the visit When the Shanghai Hospital was established, Li Zhenhua had no suitable people, so he had to put Yao Wanqiu in the position of dean. At the same time, he also served as the director of the nursing department. There were too few staff. Especially the professional technical talents, but fortunately, Yao Wanqiu worked hard to learn business knowledge and keep the hospital in order. b Now it is obvious that the space occupied was too small. Yao Wanqiu asked Li Zhenhua to build a larger hospital. After all, Shanghai is a metropolis with a large population and because there are too many patients, the current place can no longer accommodate Li Zhenhua. Soon I contacted Shen Baoxiang and others, and they provided a piece of land, and then the two families worked together to build a large hospital. Now Yao Wanqiu is even busier. She has to work in two places. One is the hospital itself, the other is the hospital under construction. She also has to manage the internal hospital of Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Corporation. She also has to provide technical guidance. The new hospital is still intended to be a hospital with Chinese characteristics that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine. This was Li Zhenhua's decision long ago. Yesterday I received a call saying that several silk merchants from Nanxun, Huzhou were going to visit my hospital. Yao Wanqiu asked Yao Wanqiu to prepare. Yao Wanqiu couldn't help but smiled bitterly. He was already extremely busy and wanted to visit. Isn't this life-threatening? But since the call was from Li Zhenhua, she didn't say anything. Since they were coming, let them come. Anyway, it was like this and there was nothing worth doing. So she arranged her work and waited in the hospital. . sohubom When the visitors arrived, Wang Xin called out affectionately: "Sister." Then she and Yao Wanqiu hugged each other tightly. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Everyone missed this meeting and didn't know when the next one would be. Will meet. Yao Wanqiu looked at Wang Xin's body with a professional eye, which made Wang Xin's little face turn red immediately. Yao Wanqiu said to her: "I'll check it for you when no one is around. Don't forget to ask Yaqi." Don't forget to check up on her. She will come to me regularly for check-ups after she is in Shanghai. " "It's the eldest sister." Wang Xin knew that Yao Wanqiu was good to her husband, but she also knew that it was her husband Li Zhenhua and Zhang Xinghua. The two of them saved her life, so Wang Xin also expressed his understanding of this matter. Yao Wanqiu first led them to visit the original small hospital to give them a preliminary understanding of the medical business of Xinghua Group Company, and then asked them if they were interested in the new construction and hospital. Unexpectedly, these few were really good at it. They even wanted to see the hospital under construction, so Yao Wanqiu took them to the construction site under construction. b The new hospital is very large. It covers an area of ??dozens of acres. Why is it so big? Li Zhenhua considered that if tourism activities are developed in the future, the land will be relocated again. The land must be put in place at once. There are not so many houses now, so he first built a garden-style one. Let patients have a good environment for future development. Like some large hospitals in later generations, land constraints have limited their future development. Just like the People's Liberation Army General Hospital in Beijing (301 Hospital), more than a dozen high-rise buildings have been built in the yard. The parking area is not as crowded as people going to the market every day. The lower two floors of the main floor of the Shanghai Hospital currently under construction are used for outpatient services and some functional departments for preliminary diagnosis and examination of patients. The third and fourth floors are completed for inpatient care. The Ministry will first arrange a hundred hospital beds, and let the medical staff live in a small building next to it on the fifth and sixth floors for office, teaching and scientific research purposes. The remaining places will be used by relevant technical personnel to design artificial lakes and bridges. There are also playgrounds, stadiums, etc. The front is used to park cars, sedans and horses for patients and their families. There are also some security guards here. Yao Wanqiu introduced it to the visitors. All this made several young masters have a great interest in Yao Wanqiu. Yao Wanqiu was already good-looking, and she was wearing a white long gown specially designed for medical staff. Li Zhenhua gave some suggestions for improvement. Feminine characteristics are displayed. Although she is a non-military personnel, Yao Wanqiu, who has been on the battlefield several times, still has some military temperament in her body. It can be seen from the playground she designed that she has never given up on physical exercise. Everything here deeply attracted several young masters, especially the two brothers Pang Yuanji and Pang Yuancheng who are fond of doctors and Chinese medicine. Seeing how interested they were in the hospital, Zhang Jingjiang couldn't help but ask: "What do you think about the two brothers?" What do you think of the construction of this hospital? " "It's good, it's beyond our expectations. My family's Ponzi German Pharmacy has been in existence for two generations, but there is nothing comparable to this. The construction of this hospital is beyond what ordinary people can imagine. After coming out, I think this dean is also a strange woman." Then a group of young masters went to other places in Xinghua Group Company.The industry went to visit schools, machine manufacturing companies, shipping companies, banks, security camps, etc. After more than ten days, these people had a better understanding of Xinghua Group Company, and they all had the desire to join this group. . Because of the addition of this rapid transportation tool, Nanxun, which was originally a relatively closed place, moved to Shanghai in advance. Just like Zhang Jingjiang, he was not famous at home, just a kid from a rich family, but he was praised by the villagers for his heroic deeds. But once he left Nanxun and entered Shanghai, he came into use. He eventually became Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Minister of Finance and later became Mr. Chiang's "mentor". After they finished their visit, Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin had a discussion with them. They consciously gave them the initial patriotism education. Of course, it was not to let them love the decadent and backward Qing government. They encouraged them to leave Nanxun and go to Shanghai to realize their "industrial power". grand ideal. Wang Xin used to think that he was just the vice president of a company. Now after several years of hard work, he has become the vice president of Xinghua Group Company. But if he were still in that environment, he would have to find someone to marry and he could not be like now. In this way, we can contribute to the defense and construction of the country. Since everyone is a person with ideals and ambitions in this era, they easily talked about it. They also unanimously expressed their intention to step out of the original closed environment and join the ranks of defending and building the country. Chapter 162: The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty (Text) Text Chapter 163 Madam opens a clothing factory Chapter 163 Madam Opens a Clothing Factory Chapter 163 Madam Opens a Clothing Factory Li Zhenhua told them that we will all be friends from now on. No matter who has any difficulties and needs help, I will definitely help. But there is one thing, that is, we must not harm the interests of the people. If in the future If Chun has done something that is sorry to the people, then he and he will not only not be friends, but may also become enemies. Li Zhenhua asked them to continue their inspection in Shanghai to see if there was anything they could do together, and he also suggested that they consider investing in railway construction and go to the "Lu-Guang Railway", "Shanghai-Nanjing Railway" and "Jinpu Railway" soon. "The railway will enter the stage of attracting investment. Some other industries such as the textile industry. None of these people have money. It is a matter of investment choice. Now when they heard that the construction of the "Lu-Guang Railway", "Shanghai-Nanjing Railway" and "Jin-Pu Railway" will attract investment, they all expressed great enthusiasm. Zhang Jingjiang immediately said that he would discuss the investment decision with his uncle and eldest brother after returning. Others also expressed their intention to join in. However, Pang Yuancheng wanted to invest in a Shanghai hospital. His older generation had their own traditional Chinese medicine store. Their family was very experienced in saving lives and healing the common people through medicine. He immediately decided to invest in the Shanghai Hospital of Xinghua Group Company. Li Zhenhua Wang Xin readily agreed to his request and would discuss cooperation with him later. hub After sending these "young masters" away, Wang Xin felt that she wanted to go to Suzhou to see the local silk weaving industry. She wanted to start a large-scale weaving factory that uses imported equipment for textiles. Li Zhenhua said: "It's okay if you go, but you You must go to the hospital for a physical examination before you can go. I won¡¯t let my son go with you. It¡¯s not okay if my son is affected.¡± Wang Xin immediately said: ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t know yet. You just let me go. Now that you have stopped letting Sister Yaqi help you with your work, I will have even fewer people if I take a break." Li Zhenhua said, "Don't say it. I won't let you go anyway. If you are obedient, then follow the family rules. " "Li Zhenhua's so-called family rules are just a joke between husband and wife, nothing more than a gentle spanking. However, every time they mention the family rules, Fa Yaqi and Wang Xin will blush. As women of that era, they are so shameless. Much thinner. Seeing that Wang Xin had stopped making trouble, Li Zhenhua said to her: "You can consider setting up a clothing factory. We can make tuxedos, flag suits, robes, jackets, etc. We can also design some new clothes." As he said this, After drawing on the table with a pen for a while, he drew more than a dozen types of clothing. In modern terms, they are Lenin suits, Chinese tunic suits, jackets, casual clothes, and modern cheongsams (with higher slits) worn by Russian girls. The Bragi et al. booom Hearing that Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin were studying the problem of clothing factories, Yaqi also came over. When she saw that Li Zhenhua had designed so many clothing styles, she immediately said happily: "Yes, we will open a factory to produce these clothes right away." It will definitely sell well in the future." Li Zhenhua said to them: "We will buy a place on Nanjing Road and specialize in clothing. We will call them Huafu from now on. It is a special style of clothing for us Chinese. The factory has high, medium and low-end products, but they are mainly for the public. The low-end ones don¡¯t make much money, and the mid-range ones will make more money for us.¡± Wang Xin has already made the calculation to invest in such a factory. How many silver dollars were needed to recruit workers, how much equipment was needed, and how long the construction period was. Soon her results came out, so Wang Xin said to Li Zhenhua: "Husband, let's do this. We are both inconvenient now, and we can't do anything tiring." But if we stay at home all the time, something will happen to this person. Just let us two set up this factory. Anyway, we don¡¯t have to do any work, so it¡¯s okay.¡± After saying this, the two of them looked pitiful. Looking at Li Zhenhua and waiting for his reply, Li Zhenhua didn't want them to continue working. Wouldn't it be better for them to take a good rest and wait until their children are older before working again? But seeing the two people's attitudes, he couldn't say when, so he had to agree. After hearing Li Zhenhua's promise, the two of them rushed towards Li Zhenhua. The two beauties pushed Li Zhenhua down on the bed. Li Zhenhua was frightened and begged them both for mercy. Then they stopped making trouble. Li Zhenhua got up and said to them: "Okay. You two want to murder your husband. By the way, I also took my son with you so that I can record the accounts for you two. I will not be able to spare you two later." The two of them immediately showed pity to each other. Li Zhenhua took his words back. If two people who are vice presidents of Xinghua Group Company run such a pediatric factory, it will be just like playing games. They first went to Nanjing to book a place, then asked someone to buy it, and then notified their construction engineering company to take over the place.The original place was demolished and a new commercial building was built. The requirements for building a factory building from the back of the commercial building were spacious and bright office areas, production workshops, warehouses, workers' canteens, men's and women's changing rooms, toilets, showers, guard rooms, etc. . He made a call to his trading house and ordered fifty German hand-operated sewing machines. He informed Fangcheng that the garment factory there would send a manager and several masters over, but Yaqi wanted to let her two original girls Yu Xiang and Yuxiu also came together. Wang Xin asked: "Why did you ask them to come over? Don't they all have their own jobs?" "Just don't worry about it. Letting them come will be useful. Then I will let you have a good show." Then the following is He posted a recruitment notice in his Morning Bell newspaper: "Due to work needs, the garment factory of Xinghua Group Company is now recruiting 100 female workers. The conditions are that each female worker between the ages of 16 and 25 will receive a monthly salary during the training period." After working for two silver dollars, each person will receive five silver dollars per month and a piece-rate subsidy. Each person will work 26 days a month, have one day off every seven days, and work eight hours a day for one meal at noon. In addition, 30 saleswomen will be recruited. The salary is the same as above. Those with education will be given priority. "Such a salary is very high, even for those workers from foreign companies. They originally thought it would be difficult to recruit, but soon the number of people who signed up was exceeded. There are still people behind the original 130 people who are still asking for registration. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 163: Madam Opens a Clothing Factory (Text) Text Chapter 164 Madam wants to see a joke Chapter 164 Madam wants to see a joke Chapter 164 Madam wants to see a joke A few days later, the person Yaqi and Wang Xin wanted came from Fangcheng. Yaqi and Wang Xin discussed it and decided to start training immediately. Several masters were Being old, they know how to train new workers and start their work quickly. hub First, we improved the sewing machine and converted the original hand-crank type into a foot-operated type. This way, one hand of the worker can be freed for work, and the work efficiency will be much faster. First, we let the female workers understand the sewing machine and the simple repair work procedures. We selected a few ingenious young female workers and let them learn design and cutting. In addition, we also arranged specialized people to conduct warehouse management training and quality inspection training. In short, it is a small job. It has everything a factory should have. The training of salespersons has also begun. They have to learn business theory, how to sell, how to attract customers, etc. But everyone was busy, but Yaqi's two original maids, Yuxiang and Yuxiu, had nothing to do. This made Wang Xin a little confused, so she asked Yaqi what you were selling in your gourd. Medicine, everyone is here, but there is no sign of you. Yaqi took Wang Xin to her room and asked Wang Xin: "Do you think these two are good-looking?" Wang Xin understood somewhat and said: "Both of them are good-looking. What do you mean?" "Ghost girl, I know I can't hide it from you. That's what I mean. It's not convenient for both of us now. My husband is at the age where he is like a wolf and a tiger. I can't bear to see him endure it all the time. It's not good for our health." I want the two of them to serve our husbands. "Wang Xin lowered her head and thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, but I don't know if I can agree to that piece of wood?" " "It will be much harder to get him to agree. Let's find a way to let them wait on him first. Then we can find a time to let him drink too much and let the two girls go under his bed. Then the rice will be cooked. Have you eaten? It doesn¡¯t matter if he agrees or not, it¡¯s already a good thing. Are you afraid that he won¡¯t agree in the future?¡± Wang Xin laughed and scolded: ¡°You have so many tricks, so we have to drink it out for him.¡± If he doesn't like it later, let him beat him up." Yaqi: "We will laugh at him if he wants to beat us up after getting a good thing." The two ladies decided to implement their plan that night. . Today Li Zhenhua came back a little early. The work in various places went smoothly, which made him very happy. The two ladies were busy with their work and came back very late every day. But today they came back a little early. Li Zhenhua arrived home a little early. When the two of them saw that Li Zhenhua was back, they hurriedly served tea. The man who poured water waited for her husband to sit down and drink tea. Wang Xin said: "I haven't cooked for you for a long time. Today, we have nothing to do. Come back early to cook for you and let you drink two cups. Boom" "No need for you. Just have a good rest. I'll cook dinner." "No, it's not fast for the two of us plus Yuxiang and Yuxiu to cook. You can just sit there and have a good rest." After that, the others came together. I went to the kitchen and it was already prepared. It didn¡¯t take long for the dishes to be served. Li Zhenhua, who saw that they were all his favorite foods, sighed in his heart: "I can be said to be really happy. It is a blessing to have these two ladies being so kind to me." He did not expect that there would be even more "happiness" waiting for him. As for him. Everything is ready and Li Zhenhua is invited to take the seat. Li Zhenhua takes the first place. There is a lady on one side and the two maids are also sitting opposite. Wang Xin began to let the wine go: "Today our work went smoothly and we can start production soon. Come on, let's drink. Husband, you can have a drink and I will do whatever you want." Under the influence of Li Zhenhua, the two ladies did not call themselves "concubines". It's all yours and mine now. And Li Zhenhua felt that it was unfair to women to call them this way and that way they would look like a family. Seeing that his woman was happy, Li Zhenhua let go and started drinking. However, he was not a big drinker, and he drank quickly, and at the same time he was careless and careless. Li Zhenhua felt that it was too much, but the two ladies continued to greet each other. Yuxiang and Yuxiu also visited these people from time to time, and their goal was quickly achieved. Several people helped him clean up and then put him on the bed. At this time, Li Zhenhua was already drunk and didn't know anything. He fell on the bed and fell asleep. Yaqi asked Yuxiang to sleep here. Yuxiang had already It is a kind of luck to know your identity as a maid. If you sleep with your master and you have a boy and a girl, then you can live a good life with your daughter now. The master has given himself an opportunity and he must seize it well. This opportunity is not available to everyone. After the others left, Yuxiang tidied herself up again and climbed gently onto the bed from the foot of the bed.She was so panicked that she waited patiently for Li Zhenhua to wake up. However, Li Zhenhua only drank water once in the middle of the night and there was no other movement. Yuxiang waited painfully in the middle of the night. That Li Zhenhua was indeed a "block" Just holding Yuxiang in his arms, Yuxiang couldn't let go. She was a little confused in Li Zhenhua's arms, but her face was feverish. She didn't dare to move, and she slowly fell asleep in the second half of the night. . The biological clock in his body woke Li Zhenhua up from his sleep on time in the morning. He stretched his arms out of habit, but he found someone sleeping next to him. He thought it was just Wang Xin or Yaqi sleeping next to him with his back turned, but he didn't either. Care stood up gently and put on his pants. He looked for his shirt with his eyes and looked back to see that something was wrong with this woman. This was not his wife at all. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yaqi's maid Yuxiang. Li Zhenhua was shocked. How did this happen? The girl fell into the boss's bed. In modern society, this is nothing. But in Li Zhenhua's heart, it was not the case. He thought that if this spread, it would not be a good thing for his reputation. It doesn't matter, this girl's reputation is over. He ran out of the house in a panic. Wang Xin's house was next to him. He ducked in and saw his two women sleeping on the same bed. Because of the hot weather, even the quilt was kicked off. Maybe it was because of the cold later. Li Zhenhua originally wanted to teach them both a lesson, but when he saw their slightly bulging bellies, he felt a little unbearable and wanted to cover them with the quilt from the beginning, but the devilish looks of the two of them were But his figure attracted him. Although both of them are pregnant, their figures have not changed much due to the short period of time. Only their abdomens are slightly swollen. They are not wearing traditional bellybands and underwear, but pajamas and nightgowns designed by Li Zhenhua. They are lying on the bed with their hair scattered. The pair of jade rabbits in his arms had already broken free. Li Zhenhua knew that these two people cared about him, so he no longer wanted to argue with them, so he gently covered them with quilts. As soon as the quilt was covered, Yaqi had already woken up. They made a "well-intentioned" joke with Li Zhenhua, but because they were young and had a noisy temper, they also wanted to see how Li Zhenhua behaved. There was no movement in the middle of the night, only Li Zhenhua occasionally snored. They found it boring and fell asleep. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 164 Madam Wants to See a Joke (Text) Text Chapter 165 It¡¯s purely useless Chapter 165 It¡¯s purely useless Chapter 165 It¡¯s purely useless As soon as Yaqi opened her eyes and saw Li Zhenhua looking at her, she couldn¡¯t tell whether he was happy or angry. She stabbed Wang Xin with her hand. If her husband is unhappy, then the two of them can carry it together. Similarly, if he is happy, the two of them can enjoy it together. But as soon as Wang Xin opened her eyes and saw Li Zhenhua standing naked under the bed, she hurriedly said: "Come up here, what's wrong with you?" "What's wrong? What a good thing you two have done. I won't spank both of your butts today." After saying that, Li Zhenhua had already climbed onto the bed and was between the two of them. Both hands stretched out to both sides and held the two of them in their arms, but they were not honest. One hand grabbed a rabbit and gently twisted it: "If you are honest, I will let you know my husband's history. Harmful." The movement of their hands caused the two of them to immediately react. Their bodies began to twist, and four of them were tightly wrapped around Li Zhenhua's thighs. Their hands also reached under him. They were both experienced and already knew it. What's going on? As soon as they touched the stick that was as hard as steel and there was no moisture on it, they knew that all their work was in vain. After arguing with them for a while, Li Zhenhua said to them: "Okay, stop making trouble. If you make me angry, you two won't be able to stand it. Remember, don't do this again. I only have you and me in my heart in this world." You are the only people closest to me, and I will spend my whole life loving and protecting you. booom" Neither of them spoke, but after a while, Li Zhenhua felt that his arms were wet. The two little girls were already moved. It was a complete mess. When Li Zhenhua saw that nothing was going on, the Yellow River between the two of them broke up again and hurriedly said: "Okay, stop crying and get up quickly. You go and see Yiyuxiang girl. Don't let her have other ideas." Ting hurriedly got up and tidied up, then ran to Li Zhenhua's house and saw that Yuxiang had already gotten up and was combing her hair silently. Yaqi went over and sat aside and said to her: "Yuxiang is my sister, so I can't let you be wronged." "I don't understand the kindness of the master, but I don't like me. I don't dare to think otherwise. I'm already very good like this. I'm lucky to be able to follow the master. I don't think any of my original sisters are as comfortable as I am." And happiness." Seeing her talking like this, Yaqi sighed softly and said, "Okay, as long as you think about it, a suitable sister will find a good family for you to marry." "Thank you, Master, for this. "Master, don't worry about it." "We stopped calling you master. Didn't we change it a long time ago? Why did we start calling you master again today?" "I don't know what happened, but I started calling you master again." Don¡¯t call me master anymore. We will always be good sisters.¡± Based on the actual needs of the people, Li Zhenhua also proposed to set up textile factories, candle factories, match factories, nail factories and other factories. These products are the daily work of the people. We can no longer use the word "foreign" in front of the names of things used in daily life as before. Matches, foreign oils, foreign waxes, foreign cloths, foreign guns, and foreign cannons. Our own things must first satisfy the domestic people. If needed, the remaining parts can be sold abroad. The technical content of these factories is relatively low, so it is enough to transfer a group of capable people from other places to organize production. However, textiles, silk weaving, etc. must be controlled by oneself. These are major export items and others. Merchants can also engage in competition. It is not a bad thing. Only competition will lead to progress and produce better products. At the same time, they must compete with foreign companies. If their products are good, we must learn from them and must not let them in. At the same time, we must encourage them to come in and carry out their work. compete. With the encouragement of the Morning Bell, some new industries have emerged one after another. After the products with the word "foreign" are produced, it is clearly written that they are made in China, and people will no longer say "foreign". It turns out that the garment factory planned by myself, Wang Xin and Yaqi will soon enter the production stage. If the new factory building is not available now, then we should first find an old building to produce the current products. Obviously it is not too high-end, and high-end products will have to be built later. The experts who came out were designing, but it soon came out. Now they only produce some low-end things like work clothes and sell them, so they have to go out and sell them themselves, so they personally go to some large enterprises to sell them. On this day, two salesmen came to the door of Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Company. They were looking for the company's logistics manager. The security guard at the door saw two beautiful girls coming. When they saw that they were from Xinghua Group Company, they immediately wanted to let them go. However, because this is a military industrial enterprise, they did not dare to let them go casually. They had no choice but to call the logistics department and let the two girls in after hearing the order to let them in. The people who came were none other than Yuxiang and Yuxiu.?It turns out that Yaqi thinks that since Li Zhenhua is not willing to accept the two of them, there is no need to let them here. It just so happens that their garment factory also needs people, so just let them go to the factory to take charge of some things. If not for meeting later. They will also feel embarrassed. After saying this, everyone was happy and they went to the garment factory to take up their posts. Production is easy to say. The key now is sales. If no one wants what is produced, it will be closed soon. So as soon as they discussed it, they decided to go out for door-to-door sales. This method was what the general once said about the two girls. They were thoughtful people who remembered it, and now they went to their largest company in Shanghai to promote it. A leader from the logistics department met them. They briefly introduced their origins and then took out the samples they brought and asked the logistics leader to take a look at them. They wanted to promote the products of their factory to him and said that the factory was in good condition now. We need work clothes. Recently, some new workers have been added to the factory. They don't have work clothes yet. At the same time, those new workers are eager to wear work clothes. Without these work clothes, it is like going out and inferior to others. Only when you put on those work clothes can you really be a worker. The original work clothes were all produced by Fangcheng, and the shipping costs were definitely more expensive than purchasing goods directly from Shanghai. Therefore, their first business was quickly settled, making 6,000 pieces of work clothes for the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Branch. . A set of clothes cost five silver dollars, sold for six dollars, and made a profit of six thousand dollars. This made Yuxiang and Yuxiu very happy, and they hurriedly returned to the factory to report the good news to everyone. Since their shop had not yet been completed, they rented a place nearby to set up a stall to sell goods. Once the shop was completed, they could enter the store for sales. A living person cannot suffocate in urine. Once a factory is launched, it must produce products that must be sold. Chapter 165: The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty is purely useless (text) Text Chapter 166 The beauty breaks into Yingchun Tower Chapter The beauty breaks into the Yingchun Tower Chapter The beauty breaks into the Yingchun Tower Low-end products are starting to get busy, and high-end products are also coming out. Someone said that if you want to make money, it¡¯s best to take it from a woman¡¯s pocket. That¡¯s what it means. The designers first designed some women's cheongsams, but these were difficult to sell. This made the two girls very depressed. What should they do? The two of them began to worry that they couldn't go to other people's homes to sell it anyway, and the two older girls couldn't let go of their faces. The two of them were sitting in a small teahouse drinking tea. Suddenly, a few seductive women came out from a house opposite. They talked and laughed unscrupulously and walked towards the street. At a glance, the two knew that they were from the Bada Hutong in Beijing. Women are the same people, they are all prostitutes, but Yuxiang immediately saw that their clothes are more open-minded than ordinary women. These people will always be the ones leading the clothing trend. Suddenly, Yuxiang's mind started to heat up. Can we go to them to sell it? She immediately told Yuxiu about her idea. Yuxiu immediately said: "No, I won't go to that kind of place. If I go to Gege's, I won't go to that place." Your face will look ugly." Yuxiang said: "We can't think about those things now. We are not the ones doing that. We are the leaders of the factory. If we don't go, who else can we let go? Okay, don't be childish. This is a job. As long as the work is done well, she will definitely praise us. Hubby." Yuxiu could only say, "Okay, it's up to you." The two walked towards the hospital. The eyes of the two gatekeepers in front of Yingchun Building lit up when they saw two beauties who were like gods walking towards them. Their clothes were also unique. They were all new-style clothes, which I had never seen before in Shanghai. The top I was wearing had two rows of buttons in the front, and the waist was tucked in to reveal the beautiful curves of the body. The bottom was dark trousers, and the feet were wearing a pair of pointed-toe shoes only worn by foreign women, but the heels were not the same as those. The foreign ladies walked tall and walked with a kind of majesty that can only be seen in soldiers. They were holding a suitcase in their hands. It seemed that the suitcase was not light, but it seemed as if it had no feeling in their hands. Not only were the two gatekeepers staring, but soon other people in the yard, including some servants, maids, and thugs, also came to the door to see the two fairy-like women. When they arrived in front of the door, they walked directly to them. Everyone walking inside didn't care about the two people in front of the door. They were all wondering why a woman from a good family came into a place like this. The two of them entered the living room and sat down. Some of the idlers looked at them curiously, but they, the fast-footed people, went around telling everyone. sohub Yuxiang said to a little girl: "Where is your boss? Please ask her to come out. We have something to ask her." There is no need for anyone to ask the boss. She is already here. She is a mature and sexy woman in her thirties, although she is already older. She is older, but it can be seen from her face that she must have been a beauty when she was young. People call her Sister Feng, and some clients call her Afeng. As soon as she came out, she was attracted by these two beauties. I exclaimed in my heart that if I had these two people here, my Yingchun Building on the beach would occupy the top spot. Yuxiang and Yuxiu were also staring at her, looking at her cheongsam, which was too vulgar. At that time, the clothing in Shanghai was the most open in the country, but the two said that what she was wearing was too vulgar. The boss was furious when she heard this. The two people commented with critical eyes: If the waist was slimmer, the hem was shorter, the slits were shorter, and the slits were taller, it would be perfect. Coupled with her face, it would be the most eye-catching. If she were at least ten years younger, she could go back to the business of picking up customers. Seeing the two girls looking at their cheongsam, the boss felt guilty. Is there anything wrong with his clothes? She was very confident that her clothes were made by the best tailors and there would be no problem. But when she looked at the other two, she felt a little weird. Although the style of their clothes was not as good as hers, she looked at their clothes. The craftsmanship of a tailor will never be worse than that of the master she uses. Her clothes have shown all the female characteristics. Even though her clothes are not revealing, her attraction to the opposite sex will definitely not be lower than her own clothes. So she hurriedly said to the following: "The distinguished guest has arrived, serve the guest tea quickly." The servants then remembered that some other people who were going to receive the guests were still watching them from a distance, trying to see where these two people were coming. What to do. The boss came to Yuxiang and sat down in front of them: "Ala is the boss of Yingchun Building. What are you doing with these two beautiful ladies?" Sister Feng said politely. She thought they were two people who came to her place to find work. If people are really like that, they must keep these two money trees. "Boss, you're welcome. It's not expensive for us to come here. Our garment factory has recently designed several cheongsams that I want the boss to try." Oh, they are here to sell clothes. The boss's face immediately turned ugly. She immediately said: "Are you here to sell clothes? That's a coincidence. Our clothes are all custom-made, and they are the best in Shanghai." Some of the costume masters are foreigners." Yuxiang smiled slightly: "Foreigners can't stand it in our hands. They can't do anything." Yuxiu, who was unwilling to come in, didn't like to listen to her. He stood up and said to Yuxiang: "Sister, let's go. It's too hard to talk to such a bumpkin who has never seen the world. She doesn't know what's good or bad at all." After hearing Yuxiu's words, the boss's face immediately changed. Okay, you don't even look at it. Look who's place this is. Just because you two little girls dare to come to my place and act wild. I want you to know my history. She sneered and said, "Girl, you are too crazy. You know, I am from Shanghai." If you dare to come here and make trouble under the jurisdiction of Master Daotai, are you afraid that I will arrest you and make you pick up customers?" Yuxiu was furious when the boss said this, but she didn't have the words to deal with such a person. She opened her mouth and said nothing. What happened? The boss thought that Yuxiu was scared. She thought that these little girls were too ignorant to dare to come to my place to show off their power. Even ordinary people in the underworld would not dare to come easily. Who doesn't know that I am the lover of Master Daotai? This boss lady is not someone to be trifled with. She wants to make trouble even if everything is fine. She dares to scold a little yellow-haired girl just by looking at her, but she has never suffered such a disadvantage. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter: The Beauty Breaks into the Yingchun Tower (Text) Text Chapter 167 Beauty makes a scene in Yingchun Tower Chapter 167: Beauties make a fuss in Yingchun Tower Chapter 167: Beauties make a fuss in Yingchun Tower But these two beauties cannot be let out. The business that comes to your door can still let them go. I won¡¯t let them go on the beach in Shanghai. People laughed at her because she was friends with Shanghai Daotai, but she was not afraid of anything except gangsters in the underworld. She didn't look down on them, let alone two girls with foreign accents. b She immediately winked at the thugs who were watching the fun. The thugs came up with a smile on their faces. When they saw that the people came with bad intentions, Yuxiang and Yuxiu stood up and wanted to fight. That's right. That's great. Since arriving in Shanghai, I haven't had any contact with others. Now that it is delivered to their door, they are very happy. One of the thugs was obsessed with Yuxiu's breasts and reached out to grab Yuxiu's breasts. Where did Yuxiu eat this? Who didn't respect her in Fangcheng? Even the instructors in the army were polite to them. Now there are a few gangsters. It's really funny that I just want to fight with my aunt. When they were in the prince's house, they often practiced martial arts with Yaqi. After arriving at Fangcheng, they went to the teaching team to further their training. They were proven in fighting and capturing. Although they had never really been on the battlefield, they were ordinary people. They are really not afraid. Seeing that the claw had reached his chest, Yu Xiu slashed down with a knife and hit the man's wrist. He staggered and kicked his lower abdomen with one foot. This still left him some face, otherwise he would have As the foot went down, it kicked his child's bag. The boy fell to the ground and screamed. sohub When other people saw that you were too careless, brother, they let a girl beat you down. Did you learn your kung fu from your master's wife? What a shame. The other people raised their vigilance and surrounded the two of them. When Yuxiang saw that it was impossible to be kind today, she immediately stood back-to-back with Yuxiu. At her feet was Bu Ding Bu Ba, with two fists on her hands, one in front and one behind, protecting her breasts. They could run away immediately, but the two talented people were so bold that they didn't take these people seriously at all. The boss on one side shouted: "Watch the door and don't let them escape. Whoever catches these two girls will be rewarded." The thugs knew what the boss's reward was, which was that they were allowed to find a girl to play with for free. One of the thugs immediately laughed and the other thug immediately agreed: "Just be optimistic, we will make sure to catch them immediately." While they were talking, they were already fighting each other with fists and kicks. It was afternoon time and the Yingchun Building was also full of people. There were no customers, so the group of thugs fought with the two beauties. As time went on, it became a bit difficult for the two of them. However, the life of the thugs was not easy. Four or five of them had already fallen to the ground. hub The two girls have retreated to the stairs at this time. This way, she only needs to defend the front and does not have to take care of the surroundings. At this time, Yuxiang regretted that she should not have made things like this. She was here to sell clothes, so why did she start a fight with others? Then she began to think of a way out, but there was no way out. She pulled Yuxiu with her hand and asked her to go upstairs with her. Then she tried to find a way to escape. As long as she could get out of the yard, everything would be fine. Seeing that his subordinates couldn't take down the two women for a while, he was about to have sex with someone here. It wouldn't be good for others to see it. The boss was very angry. She thought of her boss behind the scenes. She asked a clever servant to come to Shanghai immediately. Go to Daotai and ask Shanghai Daotai to send her people to help arrest people. He asked his thugs to stop fighting them. When Yuxiang and Yuxiu saw them sending people out, they knew it was definitely not good for them. They retreated upstairs and Yuxiang sat on the stairs to rest. However, Yuxiu went inside to look around and see if there was any place where she could go out. She saw water and some snacks in a room, which she took without being polite. The two of them came over and ate while she said to Yuxiang: "There is a window behind my sister, so it's a little higher than the ground. I'm afraid I won't be able to jump." "Don't panic. I'll go check it out and eat first." These two people are like this. They were confused for a while. As soon as they reported the name of Xinghua Group Company, no one in Shanghai would dare to make any plans for them. However, they did not say anything because they had only been in Shanghai for a short time and they did not know. How famous Xinghua Group is in Shanghai. After Yuxiang finished eating, she asked Yuxiu to continue guarding the stairs and went inside to take a look. After opening a door, she entered. A young woman about twenty years old was inside. Next to her in the room, there was a fourteen-year-old, The little girl from Wu came up to Yuxiang and said, "Sister, please find a way to get out quickly. If their people come, you won't be able to leave." "Thank you, eldest sister. I'll see if I can get out here." Yuxiang After looking at it, I thought to myself that I can¡¯t jump here and I will still?There are already people patrolling their yard. The woman next to her came over again and said, "Is there anyone outside? I'll ask her to inform you." Yuxiang glanced at the young girl next to her. She was a little skeptical. Is this little girl okay? At this time, she couldn't allow her to think too much, so she had to treat a dead horse as a living horse and let this little girl report a letter. But to whom should the letter be reported? Of course, it would be best if Princess and Eren knew that, but any Xinghua Group company¡¯s place would be fine. So she turned to the little girl and said, ¡°Do you know if there is any Xinghua Group company¡¯s place nearby? "You are from Xinghua Group Company?" "Yes. I have to trouble you." "Don't worry, sister, I will tell the people from Xinghua Group Company to come and rescue you." But how do you get out?" Yuxiang couldn't help but ask. "I can go out from the gate." "You must be careful not to let anything happen." "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will let her out now." She said a few more words in the little girl's ear. After saying that, the two people came out of the house and the little girl said to the following: "Sister Narcissus is sick and she is going to see a doctor for treatment." The boss is so angry that if he didn't get sick sooner or later, he would get sick at this time, but the Narcissus is himself The top card here cannot be offended, so she had to say: "No, I can't go out today. Xiaolanzi, go get some medicine for your sister.".

Hub" After the little girl went in, she He came out and said to the boss: "Sister said she won't go if she can't die." It seemed that the lady was angry. Yuxiang and Yuxiu didn¡¯t talk either. This was their business and had nothing to do with them. But the boss downstairs didn¡¯t think so. He couldn¡¯t easily offend the top girl in his hands, so she said to Xiaolan, ¡°Xiaolanzi, come down here for a moment.¡± When Xiaolan went down, she told the boss about the girl¡¯s condition. After a while, the boss had no choice but to ask someone to drive Xiaolan to the hospital to get medicine. Yuxiang felt relieved. Xiaolan took the car and left for Shanghai Road. The people who came back were followed by a dozen big men, led by a fifth-level guard. When the boss saw that his sweetheart had sent someone to come, he was naturally happy and immediately greeted her with a smile. Tell the person about the situation and ask him to go up and get the person. The guard began to feel uneasy as soon as he saw the clothes of the two people above him. They were not sure whether he should do this or not. However, Master Daotai said that he should handle the matter neatly and not cause trouble for the adults. . hub But since he is here, he has to express his feelings, so he said to the two people above: "Look at you two, you look good. Come down quickly and don't let me take the trouble. If I let you, I will catch you." But don't blame my subordinates for not being able to show mercy to her. " "If you want to take action, my aunt has no time to answer you," Yuxiu replied immediately without giving him any face. As soon as the guard saw that it was going to be over, he immediately asked his men to charge upwards and must take them down. They were too disrespectful. If people knew about me, where would I put my guard's face? Several big men under his command pulled out their sabers and rushed forward. Aren't there two little girls on the opposite side? They couldn't catch them. So they shouted and rushed forward together. At this time, Yuxiang and Yuxiu were also anxious and could no longer be polite. If she got into their hands, her innocence would be completely destroyed. She decided to fight these people desperately. A big man rushed to the front. Yuxiang kicked him right on the chin. He heard the crunch of bones and saw him somersault down the stairs. He screamed and followed those people and continued to charge upwards, asking for weapons. The two women may still be able to take advantage, but now they have nothing in their hands and are just fighting the big men with their hands, so they can't take advantage. b. Taking the time, Yuxiu took a chair in her hand. A big man raised his knife and chopped it. Yuxiu walked up to the chair, but he cut the chair in half. Yuxiu threw half of it to Yuxiang, and the two of them used half of the chair to fight them. stand up. A carriage was running forward quickly on the street. The girl Xiaolan in the carriage kept urging: "Faster, faster." The driver thought that the little girl was worried about her master, so he whipped the carriage and ran away. stand up. Soon they arrived in front of Xinghua Hospital. The little girl, who seemed to be their regular visitor before, got out of the car and rushed inside. She knew that the good-tempered dean lived there. As soon as she entered the door, the little girl immediately shouted: "Sister, please take someone to our Yingchun Building. Your two sisters will be caught by our people." "After saying that, she held her legs with both hands and bent down to breathe quickly. Yao Wanqiu didn't understand what was going on and said to her: "Don't worry, please go slowly." "No, hurry up and we'll be late. Take them away. "This series of you, we made Yao Wanqiu confused. She poured water for the little girl and asked her to speak again slowly. The little girl finally regained her breath and said to Yao Wanqiu: "Your two sisters went to our Yingchun Building and started a fight with our boss's people." After hearing this, Yao Wanqiu realized that it might be his Xinghua Group Two sisters from the company went to that Yingchun Building and had a conflict with their people. They sent such a little girl to report the news, so the most important thing was to act quickly and not let their people suffer. Yao Wanqiu, who usually looked at Wenjing, took action. She shouted: "Here comes someone." A security guard appeared in front of her: "What's the matter, Dean?" "Gather your security guards immediately and follow this little girl to Yingchun Building to rescue people. . Pay attention to protect our people, but don't make things worse and don't affect our work." As soon as I heard that I was going to rescue people, my hands were almost rusty when I heard that it was going to happen. He immediately ran out of the dean's office to save someone. He only had more than thirty people under his command, but as soon as he was told to gather in five minutes, they were all here. He immediately ordered: "Leave the third team to guard the hospital. The rest of the people are following me." More than twenty people rushed out of the car in front of the hospital. The carriage was running ahead and they headed in that direction.??ran away. Seeing that the people behind had come out, Xiaolan started to ask the driver to speed up again. The people behind also sped up and headed towards Yingchun Tower. The teasing in the Yingchun Building became even more tense at this time. Several Qing soldiers had fallen down the stairs. The two people upstairs were also quite exhausted now. Their hair was stuck to their faces tightly with sweat on their bodies. Their clothes were soaked and stuck tightly to their bodies. They couldn't let the Qing soldiers rush up to them. But seeing that many of their brothers were injured, they didn't dare to push too hard. They just wanted to fight with them. They thought it would only last for a while. They have no strength, can't these two little girls do whatever they want? Seeing that their attack relaxed, Yuxiang said to Yuxiu: "Be careful to save your energy. They want us to use up all our strength and then catch us. We can't do this and wait. We have to find a way to rush out." Yuxiu clicked. He nodded to show he understood. His hands were still fighting each other. Yuxiang saw a big man slashing at him with a knife. She put her body aside and hid her hand on the knife. At the same time, she put her right foot away and stepped hard towards his wrist. The man didn't dare to let go. The knife was already in Yuxiang's hand. Yuxiang slashed at the opponent several times with the knife, killing them and taking a few steps back. She turned around and jumped down the stairs. She pointed the blade directly at the guard. The guard saw that she had to fight with Yu. When Xiang started fighting, Yuxiang used all her strength to fight, and soon the defender was unable to fight back. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 1: Beauties make a fuss in Yingchun Tower (2) (Text) Text Chapter 169 Beauty makes a scene in Yingchun Tower (3) Chapter 169: The beauty makes a fuss in Yingchun Tower (3) Chapter 169: The beauty makes a fuss in Yingchun Tower (3) As soon as they start fighting here, Yuxiu¡¯s pressure is much lighter. She also finds an opportunity to jump downstairs and attack the guard. Now it's two fighting one. Since Yuxiu has a wooden stick, his attention is still on Yuxiang's knife. When Yuxiu saw that he despised himself, he immediately hit the wooden stick on his leg. The guard fell to the ground with an "ouch". Xiang's knife was already pointed at his neck and said to him: "Let them all retreat." The guard had no choice but to tell his men not to move. Seeing how fierce these two men were, the soldiers were all dumbfounded and had to take advantage of the situation. The two people stopped on the ground and had a chance to breathe. But they had no way to restrain others. At this time, they heard a commotion outside the door. It turned out that Master Shanghai Daotai was here. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his guard lying on the ground with a knife pointed at by a woman. At this time, he couldn't help but get angry. A dignified garrison officer under his command was a fifth-grade officer. Now he was lying on the ground with a knife pointed at his neck. How could he not be angry? A third-grade guerrilla general who followed him in was a Manchu officer. When he saw it, he was even more furious. His officer was actually defeated by a woman. How dignified was he to step forward and take action? The knife in Yuxiang's hand was pointed downwards. As soon as he pressed down on the guard below, he immediately screamed in pain. Yuxiang said: "Bold slave, if you dare to come forward, I will let him die in front of you. Sohuboo" Hearing Yuxiang's scolding, Shanghai Daotai's heart He was a little frightened in his heart even if he dared to call "slave" when he was startled. However, the guerrilla was not afraid of him, so he rushed forward again. He didn't care about the life and death of his subordinates. He wanted to save face. I was willing to really kill the guard, let him go, raised the knife and faced the guerrilla general again. In fact, this guerrilla general is just a fool. If he is not as good as the defensive one in terms of kung fu, Yuxiang saw him charging over aggressively and let one side of his body pass him, making him jump in the air. The guerrilla general turned around and punched Yu again. This time when Xiang called, Yuxiang didn't let him go anymore and kicked his right foot down. Originally, she didn't want to hurt him too much, but at this time, she had to kill him and kicked him right in the vital part. He fell to the ground and screamed in pain. When Master Daotai saw that it was okay, he immediately shouted: "Come on, all the soldiers, chop her up with knives." When Daotai's soldiers saw that, he fell to the ground and screamed. The girl looked fierce and was beating a small drum in her heart. This aunt was not easy to mess with, so they rushed up with their swords. b Seeing that Yuxiang and Yuxiu were about to die on the spot. At this critical moment, I heard a commotion outside the door, followed by the sound of a car braking. I saw a woman rushing in from the door. She was also wearing a new style of clothing with two rows of buttons in the front. The only difference between the two girls was her braids. He grabbed his ponytail and threw it behind him. I saw her rushing into the living room and pushing the soldiers aside with her hands. She was about to go in. When Master Daotai saw it, he hurriedly said, "Let me chop everyone who comes." At this time, the visitor had already rushed into the circle of people. When the two girls saw the person coming, they immediately dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground: "Slave, please see Princess." The sound of "Gurge" was not loud, but it was heard by everyone and the guards who were following Princess. They also rushed in quickly. The sentence "Kill everyone who comes" just made them angry. Who dares to be so bold and don't say that the royal family is our general? Don't even think about it. They turned around and rushed towards the Taoist platform. The Taoist platform had already been frightened. A soldier went up and slapped him, knocking him down. His body was shaking constantly, and the liquid underneath was leaking out, smelling bad. The first two soldiers stepped forward to knock off his hat and pointed their guns at him. In the blink of an eye, the knives in the hands of all the soldiers were taken away, and the soldiers were also taken aside. The garrison and guerrilla general were also brought to Master Daotai's side to enjoy Master Daotai's taste first. At this time, someone else came in. I saw him slowly coming in with his hands behind his back. Some of his subordinates knew Li Zhenhua. They immediately said, "See the general." Li Zhenhua walked to Yuxiang's side and looked at the man lying on the ground. The thugs and soldiers of the Qing army praised Yuxiang: "Okay, girl, I don't know when you have been so miserable. So many people have been cleaned up by the two of you. It's good and you have made progress. I think you can be a battalion." It's okay." Yuxiang didn't dare to raise her head and just said to Li Zhenhua: "General, we have caused trouble for you." "If it wasn't for you two, how could I see such a good show? You should be praised." While she was talking, someone else came in outside the door. It turned out to be Yao Wanqiu, the director of the hospital. After he came in, she ignored anyone and went straight to Yaqi: "Is there anyone like you in Yaqi? I don't know. If you don't care about your own health, come back with me to check." Li Zhenhua also immediately said: "You guys should go check this right away.Leave it to me. " Yaqi's face turned red and she had no choice but to follow her and leave. Yao Wanqiu did not forget to say a few words to Li Zhenhua: "I've never seen you like this. What are you telling her for? Just take care of it yourself. You won't feel sorry for anyone when you grow up. "Who is this person? When Yaqi Gege met her, it was like a mouse met a cat. And the general also wanted to listen to her and even asked her to give her a scolding, no matter there were many others watching around. Li Zhenhua didn't He touched his head with his hands shyly and watched them go out. Seeing Yuxiang and Yuxiu still kneeling on the ground, Li Zhenhua said hurriedly: "Get up quickly. Who told you to kneel down again." " Yuxiang swayed and was about to fall down. Li Zhenhua hurriedly picked up Yuxiang and said to a female doctor next to him: "Hurry up and take that one with you to the hospital. "When they arrived outside the door, Yao Wanqiu had already started the car. Li Zhenhua handed Yuxiang and Yuxiu over to Yao Wanqiu and said to her, "I'm sorry, today is my fault. Yao Wanqiu snorted and drove the car away without paying any attention to him. Li Zhenhua turned around and saw many soldiers gathered outside and said, "Which of you is in charge?" ". The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 169: Beauty Makes a Ruckus in Yingchun Tower (3) (Text) Text Chapter 170 Gege became the plaintiff Chapter 170: Gege became the plaintiff Chapter 170: Gege became the plaintiff An officer ran over: "I am the general from the Shanghai Customs Road Inspection Department who was ordered to come here to maintain order. What are your orders?" "You have taken care of this place and will leave tomorrow." Someone came to deal with the matter and took away the officials inside. The soldiers were imprisoned and had nothing to do with them." Then he got in the car and left. Now he could only go to the hospital, otherwise Yao Wanqiu. It¡¯s not even about talking about him. When they arrived at the hospital, Yaqi had already completed the examination. Since Yaqi had been practicing martial arts for many years and was in good health, nothing happened. This made Li Zhenhua feel relieved. Yuxiang and Yuxiu were too tired and had already slept on the hospital bed. After seeing that nothing happened, the couple went back together, but Yao Wanqiu still had to give some advice. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "Whoever marries her as his wife in the future will have to let her take care of him for the rest of his life." After they came back, they told Wang Xin what happened and Wang Xin immediately smiled and said: "We don't care about this matter. Just leave the matter to the Governor of Jiangsu and the Governor of Liangjiang and let them handle it. How about we watch from the side? " Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "It's up to you. Tomorrow Yaqi, write a letter to the Governor of Liangjiang Liu Kunyi and the Governor of Jiangsu. The letter will tell you the details of the matter and let them handle it. We are not in charge here, but if they come, they will handle it in Jiangning or Suzhou. The post of Shanghai Road will be vacant. We recommend Sheng Xuanhuai or Zhu Baosan to come. "Sohubom" "That's the best. From now on, Shanghai will be our world." "But there is only one person in Shanghai to compete for it." "They will have to think about it as soon as things get involved. Ordinary people won¡¯t get caught anymore. They can¡¯t hide clearly. No one wants to get too close to us.¡± The next day Yaqi wrote about the situation and gave it to someone to send the letter to Jiangning and Suzhou. Give the two adults something to do. At the same time, yesterday's incident also attracted some reporters. They also reported the matter in the newspaper. Two female reporters from the Morning Bell even went to the hospital to interview the two beauties. This newspaper The matter became a big deal as soon as we boarded it, and people began to spread the word about it in the streets and alleys, and it became a topic of conversation after dinner. Two days later, Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, came from Jiangning and picked up the governor of Jiangsu from Suzhou. They came together. They wanted to investigate the matter personally. Gege didn¡¯t dare to refuse to accept it. Seeing this, it meant that Gege was really angry and came here. That¡¯s for sure. Let¡¯s not talk about the relationship between Gege and Yunnan General Li Zhenhua. Isn¡¯t this official position in this family? What's more, this person is still a party involved. Liu Kunyi had privately agreed with the governor of Jiangsu before he came to deal with this problem that Li Zhenhua must be happy. We will rely on him for many things in the future. He is still a celebrity in the royal family, isn't he? Hub, the governor of Jiangsu could only completely agree not to say that the governor was his boss, but his status as a general and consort forced him to handle it carefully. As soon as the two officials arrived, Li Zhenhua immediately welcomed them out and sat down in the living room. They first exchanged polite greetings and then talked about the matter. Liu Kunyi asked: "Master Li, what do you think we should do about this matter?" The governor's eyes also changed. Focusing on Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua immediately expressed his position: "How do you say that this matter in Shanghai should be handled by the governor of Jiangsu and the governor of Liangjiang? Why do you two ask me about it? This is inappropriate." "It's appropriate for you." What he said couldn't be more appropriate." When Li Zhenhua saw that these were two old foxes, they were determined not to get involved in this muddy water. He couldn't get too involved, so Li Zhenhua said to them: "What I mean, sir, is that we should investigate first. Let¡¯s find out what is going on and who will solve it.¡± ¡°General Gao, let¡¯s investigate first and wait until the matter is clear.¡± So the two of them left immediately and came out. The governor said: "It's difficult for us to handle things if the general doesn't spit out his words." "Then we have to wait for the results of the investigation to come out before we can say how to solve it." "That's all we can do, then let's start tomorrow. I hope not. Something else happened.¡± The next day, the two officials showed up at the Yamen on Shanghai Road and began to investigate the whole issue. People were brought to court one after another. The matter was very simple. It was not a big deal. At that time, the boss of Yingchun Building was too arrogant. If she hadn't had a typical backstage example of Shanghai Road and coveted the beauty of two people, the matter would not have become such a big deal. But the subsequent development was a bit outrageous. Shanghai Dao's appearance was just to show off for his lover, which harmed the face of the Qing Dynasty. And what he said later was heard by everyone, and he would definitely be impeached. If you want to kill people directly because of face issues and then pay back, this is not disrespectful.??What is it again? His matter would have been fine if it had happened to ordinary people, but he was kicked on the steel plate. Not to mention the girl from Yaqi Gege, or the girl from some officials, he would not have ended well. The two frontier officials immediately sent the investigation results to Li Zhenhua. This time Yaqi and Li Zhenhua came out together. Liu Kun told Yaqi the story once, and Yaqi immediately asked: "Now that the matter is clear, how should Mr. Liu handle this matter?" If Li Zhenhua came to ask this question, Liu Kunyi would let Li Zhenhua handle it, but Since it was Princess who asked, he couldn't push it away anymore. Liu Kun glanced at the governor and said in his heart: There is no other way but to deal with it seriously to make Princess happy. Then he had to say: "Shanghai Road is appointed by the court. We can only be Report to the court and let the emperor and the queen mother deal with other guerrillas and defenses. Although there have been cases, but the circumstances are relatively minor, just ask the court to give the other soldiers a beating. " "The boss of Yingchun Tower is obsessed with interests and is trying to frame him. Women from good families who stir up trouble will be severely punished," said the Jiangsu governor. After saying that, the two looked at Li Zhenhua and Yaqi Gege to see if they were satisfied with the handling. If they were not satisfied, the punishment would be increased. In fact, Li Zhenhua and Yaqi had already discussed this matter. It was not a big deal. In their anger at that time, they really could have dealt with them. However, if they didn't come forward, the two girls would be in trouble. This matter could not be settled. Now that I see the two of them handling it this way, I think it¡¯s okay to just do it this way. Sheng Xuanhuai is not willing to be an official if he goes down to Shanghai Road to make a position, and Zhu Baosan is an alternate, so why not just straighten him up? If there is no capable person in this position in Shanghai, then the future work will be the same. It is inconvenient if Zhu Baosan becomes Shanghai Road, which will be very beneficial to his future work. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 170: Gege became the plaintiff (text) Text Chapter 171 Taking the opportunity to hype Chapter 171 Taking the opportunity to hype Chapter 171 Taking the opportunity to hype So Li Zhenhua became the peacemaker: "About Shanghai Road, it must be reported to the court. His influence is too bad. Now it is mentioned in the newspaper and someone is exposing it at the same time. He has many problems and he is really hopeless. Then let the court deal with his defense. He just obeyed orders and got beaten himself. Forget it. The guerrillas were too arrogant and demoted him to one level. Didn't the court impose a penalty? Just fine him for half a year as a warning. The proprietress of Yingchun Tower is not a good person. But since she is not an official, just fine her. " Seeing that Li Zhenhua agreed to the matter happily, Liu Kunyi was very happy and said to Li Zhenhua: "Now that Shanghai Dao is vacant, General, is there a suitable candidate?" "I think Zhu Baosan, the alternate Dao of Jiangsu, is a good candidate." Yaqi Gege interjected without losing any opportunity. The real owner was fine. Of course, Liu Kunyi was happy to see that Gege also spoke, so he immediately said: "Then according to Gege's wish, I will go back and report the matter to the court immediately." The Jiangsu governor also hurriedly expressed his position and immediately reported the matter to the court after returning. Request to exempt the original Taoist from recommending Zhu Baosan as the Shanghai Taoist. The two left Li Zhenhua's place and went outside. Liu Kun said to the governor of Jiangsu: "This matter can be solved so easily. Thanks to the common sense of Ge Ge and the emperor's brother-in-law. Let's get back to each other immediately. It's just that I'm not familiar with this Zhu Baosan. Are you okay with this person?" "Have you ever known?" "It's true that if he becomes the Shanghai Daotai hub, Shanghai will undergo a new change." Let's go." After sending away the two feudal officials Li Zhenhua and Yaqi, he returned to the house. Yaqi said to Li Zhenhua: "This result is not bad. It will make those who pretend to be powerful also suffer some pain, and they will not be so arrogant in the future. But after calling those two girls, they should restrain themselves and not go too far. If they just said they were from Xinghua Group Company, they would be fine. But they didn't tell me. It's really annoying. " "That's you. Just talk to them. " "They are yours if I get into your bed." "You are here again, do you want me to serve you?" Li Zhenhua said immediately. He said to Yaqi with a straight face. "It's okay, I'm not your person, but mine." Yaqi immediately picked up the phone and called the clothing factory. After a while, Yuxiang came to answer the phone: "Girl, you two come here right away." "It's Gege." Yuxiang and Yuxiu and Yuxiu came over quickly. They were in a very uneasy mood at this time. They had caused trouble for Gege. Both Gege and her husband-in-law got involved, and Gege was very angry. You know that Gege was pregnant with a baby. Where is the baby? I don¡¯t know how Princess will deal with her. As soon as she entered the door, they knelt down in front of Yaqi. hub Yaqi was unwilling at first sight and knelt down again: "Get up." Yaqi shouted. The two stood up and stood at attention. Yaqi said: "Okay, you two are very capable, right? Do you have any responsibility for this matter?" "Yes." "What responsibility?" "We are too arrogant. "If you said we were from Xinghua Group Company, it would be fine. Please punish me." "You still know that you are wrong. I think you have grown up and don't care about me anymore. My brother-in-law, I usually spoil you so that you don't know yourself." What are you doing, right?" The two of them lowered their heads and stopped talking. Li Zhenhua just listened in the room and said a few words. Don't go on endlessly. So he came out of the house. When he came out, the two girls felt relieved. They knew that their father-in-law would never take it out on them. When he came out, Gege stopped talking. Sure enough, as soon as Yaqi saw Li Zhenhua come out, she stopped talking. This was to give her husband face. If she kept talking endlessly after her husband came out, she would make her husband look down on her. Li Zhenhua glanced at Yaqi and stopped getting angry at the two of them. He didn't say anything else but immediately changed his target. "You two came just in time, I was looking for you. Have you thought about how to use this incident to expand the reputation of your factory." What is "visibility"? The two of them didn't understand that they were looking at Li Zhenhua. They knew that this prince-in-law was very smart and could use many things to his advantage. In his words, it was called "turning bad things into good things". But what¡¯s there to take advantage of this time? I really haven¡¯t thought about it carefully. Seeing that they didn't understand, Li Zhenhua asked: "What are you doing this time?" "Are we going to sell clothes?" "Now?We all know that isn't the case. " "Yes, now people know that it's our fault for making Princess and Prince Consort angry and anxious. " "I didn't mean that, I meant that more people know about your factory now, right? "Yes, many people know about it. Even the newspapers are talking about this. We have embarrassed Princess and the general." " "What's not to be ashamed of is that there are many people who will take advantage of this. They can increase your sales by hyping this matter up. " Another new term "hype" is not comparable to the sales in his own factory. But Li Zhenhua immediately said again: "You shouldn't be hindered from entering any place in the future, right? Now if you go to the boss of Yingchun Building, I think she will definitely support you strongly. " "My dear, we will never go to that kind of place again. It is not a place for women to go. " Yaqi laughed on the side. You all know that place is not a place for women to go. But you didn't expect that Li Zhenhua's words made them unable to turn around again: "It's okay to go. Just don't fight with others when you go. I'll see what you think. You should go to all the brothels now, there will definitely be sales there. Don't you believe it? " Seeing their disbelieving looks, Li Zhenhua said: "If you don't believe it, we can make a bet. If I lose, I'll treat you to a restaurant. If I win, you won't have this luxury. " As soon as Yaqi saw it, she immediately encouraged the two girls to bet with her husband. Anyway, they would make nothing but lose money, so the two girls immediately ran away happily. Yaqi was stunned for a while. Li Zhenhua came out to take her The reprimand disturbed her, but she wanted to help him and accidentally let him get involved. But she also wanted to see if her husband's judgment was correct this time. Chapter 171: The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty. Machine Hype (Text) Text Chapter 172 ¡°Model¡± comes to your door Chapter 172 "Model" comes to the door Chapter 172 "Model" comes to the door Yuxiang and Yuxiu went back and took two boxes of women's cheongsam and some underwear and went to Yingchun Building again. This time, as expected, the landlady was far away soon. Welcoming them from a distance, she had no idea that these two girls would have such a backstage. She apologized to them repeatedly. As soon as they entered the living room, the landlady immediately asked the girls to serve the best tea. She said to the two of them: "Last time I don¡¯t know if we will take a good look at your clothes this time.¡± The girl named Shuixian also came down and asked, ¡°Do you two sisters have clothes that suit me? I want to pick them first this time.¡± She immediately said: "Okay, there are two pieces. They seem to be specially made for you. If you wear them, you will definitely look much prettier than now." Because she had already seen that Narcissus and Yuxiu had similar figures, and Yuxiu put them on. She knows the situation best. Hearing everyone smile, Yuxiu immediately opened the box. Inside were clothes of excellent design and craftsmanship. That Narcissus is the top girl here. She naturally has a standard figure. There are no outsiders in the living room. She takes off her original clothes and puts on new clothes. It is indeed different. Narcissus turned around in a circle. This person immediately seemed very energetic. Those people were all The master is very picky about clothes, but now they can't choose anyone. Narcissus stood in front of the mirror and took a look, naturally feeling very happy. Narcissus immediately said, "How much did I pay for this dress?" hub The landlady immediately said to the side: "Don't ask about the price, just pay me the highest price." This landlady is really good at getting things done, but what she didn't expect was that there was Yuxiang who was even more good at doing things. He said to Narcissus: "Sister Narcissus, this dress is given to you by us sisters because you are our first guest and we have already agreed." It turns out that there is such a good thing. They took out some other women's products, underwear, bras, etc. from another box and gave them to Narcissus, who was very happy. At this time, people must have thought that Narcissus would show off in front of the female companions. Who would have known that she had already made up her mind to become a good person on her own? The treatment at Xinghua Group Company is so high, but it is much better than here. Who is the daughter of a good family who wants to come to a place like this? Now that she has such a If you have the chance, you can get away quickly. The two boxes of more than a dozen cheongsam and underwear brought by Yuxiang and Yuxiu were immediately divided among the prostitutes. They took them without even negotiating the price. You must know that this was agreed upon by everyone. Yuxiang and Yuxiu said to the girls: "If you need anything in the future, come to us to choose from our many new clothes, which will definitely satisfy you." Yuxiang and Yuxiu didn't even return to the factory right away. Then they ran to Li Zhenhua. They happily said to Li Zhenhua: "My brother-in-law, what you said is really accurate. They didn't even tell us the price, they just gave us a share and asked us to go there again tomorrow. It seems that we will be busy in the future." "If you don't want to eat, who will let you win? Hubby" "If you don't want to eat, I still have to eat, but I have something to do. Let's go and talk while eating." The group of people arrived at a nearby restaurant and everyone sat down. Together, several people talked to Yuxiang and Yuxiu about the things that clothing factories need to pay attention to in the future. Through this incident, the already famous clothing factory became even more prosperous, and the grades of clothing were separated. One is for ordinary people. The clothes of the rich should be separated from the high-end ones. The fabrics of the clothes of the rich should be good and the workmanship should be good. At the same time, the clothes of the common people should be beautiful, economical and practical, while the high-end clothes should be novel in design and exquisite in materials. Women's clothes should be lively and not Those who lose their stable masculine style are required to be solemn and generous. Ordinary clothing needs some wholesalers to go back to retail, while high-end clothing needs to be sold in the form of specialty stores. After that, the designers are also separated. The high-end "Huafu" needs some experts to make it, and at the same time there must be some new clothing. The launch of styles cannot be just these few, it depends on the market trend, and it cannot be too rigid, otherwise there will be no future development. In the future, you should also consider selecting some "models" and letting them wear your clothes and work for you. Then your clothes will be completely marketable. Wang Xin immediately asked: "What is a model?" Li Zhenhua immediately thought of using some terms from later generations, so he had to patiently explain to them that a model is to let some people wear new clothes from the factory and stand in front of the door. Let¡¯s take a look at some ways to attract customers. He didn't dare to let modern people build that "T" table for models to walk on. The two girls carefully recorded the opinions of several people. This is the secret of running the garment factory well. If others find out, it will make it more difficult for them to operate in the future. Wang Xin and Yaqi gave them some advice. I came up with some good ideas and the two girls benefited a lot. After eating them, they ran away immediately. They wanted to go back and have a good time.After sorting it out, I implemented it into my own factory management. The two factory directors were busy in the factory. Someone came to report that two ladies came to see them. This made them very confused that they had no acquaintances in Shanghai. Who would come to see them? Although they were a little suspicious, they still welcomed them out. It turned out to be Narcissus and her girl Xiaolan. Yuxiang was very fond of them and hurriedly asked them to sit down and said sheepishly: "We are not as good as the tea you have, so you can make do with it." Yuxiang Xiu thought they were here to choose clothes, so she said: "You guys have a rest and we will go to the workshop right away to help you pick up the clothes." "Thank you, Miss Yuxiu. We are not here to buy clothes this time but" The look on her face Yihong then said: "I also want to come to work here, is it okay?" She was afraid that the industry she worked in would be looked down upon, so she hesitated to speak. Upon hearing this, Yuxiang immediately said: "Okay, yesterday we talked about you. It would be great if we asked you to be this model." Yuxiu also said at the same time: "Yes, I told my sister yesterday It would be great if you wear our clothes." The little girl Xiaolan said to the side: "What is a model? Our lady has to become a good person and doesn't want to do her original job anymore." Upon hearing this, Xiang knew that they had some misunderstandings, so she told Shuixian and Xiaolan what she learned from Li Zhenhua yesterday. Shuixian immediately became happy. She was originally afraid that others would not want her. Now when she heard that she was definitely qualified for this job, Agree immediately. Narcissus then said: "I have some sisters who also want to come in. Can I bring a few more people?" "Yes, we are expanding production now and need a lot of people. It's a good thing to have more, so let them come." " But it¡¯s difficult for them to come. Please ask the two sisters to go to our Yingchun Building and talk to the landlady, otherwise they won¡¯t be able to come out.¡± The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 172 ¡°Model¡± Comes to the Door (Text) Text Chapter 173 Isn¡¯t it smarter to stay in your bed for a long time? Chapter 173 Isn¡¯t it smarter to stay in your bed for a long time? Chapter 173 Isn¡¯t it smarter to stay in your bed for a long time? Yuxiu immediately said: ¡°No problem. If they don¡¯t let them out, I will talk to them with my fists and beat them until they can¡¯t even come out.¡± I know him." Narcissus covered her mouth and laughed. She knew the skills of these two sisters. So the two of them said goodbye and went out. Yuxiang and Yuxiu sent them out and decided that they would go to their place tomorrow to help the sisters redeem themselves. The next day when they arrived at Yingchun Building, the landlady greeted them politely as usual. However, when she heard their purpose, the landlady was unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could deal with someone she had a crush on in Shanghai. No matter who she was, she had no choice but to agree. The girls had already prepared the money themselves. They didn't care whether the boss lady wanted it or not. They were finally freed and they got into the car of the two factory directors and returned to the garment factory together. From then on, the modeling industry appeared on the streets of Shanghai. When Li Zhenhua heard about it, he said to Yaqi and Wang Xin: "I didn't expect that these two girls are quite capable and actually started the modeling industry in Shanghai." Yaqi joked to him. : "They will learn to be smart after sleeping in your bed once. Wouldn't they be even smarter if they sleep in your bed for a long time?" Wang Xin burst out laughing and Li Zhenhua had to use his ineffective "family method" again. They simply wanted him to take action. b The Intelligence Office received a telegram from Beijing saying that the court had agreed to the suggestions of the Governor of Liangjiang and the Governor of Jiangsu (actually it was the suggestion of Gege or Li Zhenhua). Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu also understood that Li Zhenhua was indeed a good businessman. I guess the people under him won't be bad, aren't they? Besides, they don't have anything to do with the army, so I can just let them do the work. Anyway, I can collect more money. Then let them go.) It is estimated that the imperial decree to let Zhu Baosan take over the position of Shanghai Daotai will arrive soon. Emperor Guangxu was very angry about the collusion between Yuan Shanghai Dao and the imperial court. He insisted on killing him according to his young man's temper. However, the Queen Mother said that he would never use it again, so she would not control his anger with him. This is the second time Mao Dun has had an affair between Li Zhenhua and officials of the Qing government. The last time was Kang Youcai, a registered prefect of Guangxi, who was beheaded for embezzling money from railway construction. This time, he lost his head because of a fight with two of Li Zhenhua's girls. This caused some officials to become psychologically afraid of this prince-in-law. They all agreed that Li Zhenhua was not an easy person to get along with. If they worked with him in the future, they must be more careful so as not to risk their futures. Lost it. hub But it also made some officials have a good impression of Li Zhenhua. That¡¯s what being an official is like. For some unfair things, you have to dare to take care of them and not ignore them. If everyone is like Li Zhenhua, then there will be hope for the Qing Dynasty. After talking about the things that others did That one thing is not admirable. If a person doesn't think about himself at all times, he has to be admired. Therefore, more officials began to move closer to Li Zhenhua. The intelligence also talked about the construction of the railway from Lu (Lugou Bridge) to Guangzhou. The court has held many court discussions, but it has still not been decided. Officials on both sides have their own opinions. The debate has no result, and the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu have made a decision. The governors and governors from various places were asked to express their opinions on the construction of railways in Zhezi. Soon the news from various places came to Beijing. Don't look at the internal quarrels in the court, but in those places the problem is simple. Most of the local officials in Fengtian, Zhili, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are inclined to build railways. The governors of the central provinces of Henan, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Shaanxi all agreed. Only the governor of Shanxi, Yu Min, disagreed that he was the same as the conservative princes in Beijing. The argument might disturb the tombs of the ancestors. Those who agree also have close colleagues, and they all know when asked privately that the railway can bring huge benefits to themselves, and it is also a good thing that benefits the people and the country. Those who disagree are just looking for trouble. Just like Weng Tonghe, as long as it is proposed by you people, I will definitely oppose it. I have to find a word to oppose it. But as soon as their words were put forward, even the Empress Dowager Cixi, the main supporter of the conservative school, felt that his argument was a bit inappropriate. It's ready. So the court immediately wrote a letter asking Zhang Zhidong to explain the situation in detail. It is estimated that no one will stop him from building the railway without government funding. If he continues to oppose it blindly, it will be unreasonable. After Li Zhenhua read the telegram, he immediately sent people to the Xin'an area of ??Anhui Province to inform Zhu Baosan that when he comes back, he will be a fourth-level Shanghai Daotai, and he should be prepared. Now Shanghai cannot be without a manager. It happened that Sheng Xuanhuai also came back. He informed Li Zhenhua about some situations in Nanxun.?I reported a lot of gains in Nanxun. Some of my projects are under intensive construction. The young masters who came to Shanghai to visit also started to take action after returning. They opened the silk factory to Shanghai. At the same time, they also agreed that all the silk merchants would set up a silk factory together. From now on, the Silk Industry Association will come forward to negotiate prices with foreign merchants. Those silk merchants have decided not to allow private transactions with foreign merchants in the future. The chairman of the Silk Merchant Association is not the eldest Liu family, nor is he the second-ranked Zhang family. And at the back is Gu Shouming, the third eldest son of the Gu family. What will happen in the future is that the merchants will purchase separately and then the association will set prices based on quality and then sell to foreign merchants. Now that you have the strength to ask for prices from foreign merchants, you will not be able to set the price yourself. At the same time, the silk merchants in Nanxun have also established their own businesses in Shanghai. Some silk stacks are used for own storage and simple production. At the same time, they are preparing to concentrate funds to invest in railway construction. These people also have their own channels. They soon know that the court may relax restrictions on railways, and their large amount of funds can be invested in railway construction. If their silk business is better this year, they will invest more money. Li Zhenhua was very happy after hearing this. The fight between the foreign merchants was about to begin. However, some of them may want to sell information to the foreigners for their own selfish interests. All silk merchants must unite closely to target those who may. If there is anything going on with betraying the interests of our compatriots, we must stop their actions so that their plans cannot succeed.

I don¡¯t know if he is real or not. Anyway, as soon as the Japanese come, he will be responsible for the reception. At the beginning, the Japanese did not recognize their heads. They thought that if something happened, they must go to Li Zhenhua. But Li Zhenhua rarely showed up. Xiao Fei's handling work was very good, so over time, the Japanese got used to talking to him if anything happened. Xiao Fei carefully read the information they sent, and then gave the useful ones to Li Zhenhua to look at the rest. It's up to him to decide whether to keep it or send it to Japan. But Xiao Fei was constantly getting news from Japan from some of their conversations. The task Li Zhenhua gave Xiao Fei was to continue pretending if you think you can keep it up. If you can't keep it up, then clean them all up. And Xiao Fei But he plans to wait until the actual war with the Japanese begins to eliminate them. Li Zhenhua said to Xiao Fei: "Then you have full authority to handle it yourself. As long as you want to take action, counterintelligence personnel across the country will fully cooperate with your actions." A ship in the South China Sea. Xinghua Group Company's ocean-going cargo ships are sailing. Recently, as Xinghua Group Company has focused its economic work on Shanghai, its control over the South China Sea seems to have been relaxed a bit. However, the Navy has added some "security" to the ocean-going cargo ships. The personnel were actually those Marines. The captain felt that he could reach home in two days, so he relaxed his vigilance. However, he said to the crew member responsible for the lookout above: "Pay attention and be careful. We are almost home. Don't let it go." The pirates took advantage. "b" The crew above continued to look into the distance. Suddenly, a cargo ship sailed towards their route in the distance. The crew member in charge of the lookout didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but he soon felt that there was something wrong. Something was wrong. The other party's ship should have passed by his route, but instead of passing by, they changed the course and drove directly towards him. So he hurriedly shouted to the following: "The captain is in trouble." "What? What's going on?" The captain, who had just rested for a while, asked impatiently. "The cargo ship of unknown nationality in front entered our route and turned towards us. They seemed to be trying to harm us." The captain raised the telescope in his hand and saw a cargo ship with no obvious flag on it and their speed was very fast. At this time, my own cargo ship was traveling at cruising speed of only eight knots, while the opponent's ship was traveling at about twelve knots, which was two knots shy of my own high speed. The captain was very experienced, and he knew that he might be in a little trouble. . b I have to say that I have been running on this route for many years. It turns out that there are a lot of cargo ships here, but because the headquarters has shifted its economic focus to Shanghai, the cargo ships of Xinghua Group Company in the South China Sea seem to be less. Recently, some pirates They have begun to take action again, but their own company's ships have not yet encountered the pirates' ships, but they have heard that some lone ships have been harmed. Be careful. The captain pressed the siren. The beep beep sound of the siren spread to every place on the ship. The crew immediately picked up their weapons and rushed to the deck. The boatswain immediately began to order: "Everyone enter." The gunners of each gun position entered their posts in the alert state. "So every crew member on the ship began to become nervous. They quickly entered their posts. All the gun muzzles were pointed at the incoming ship. The sailors were all experienced. They entered their posts without any panic. The boatswain quickly came to the captain's side and reported to the captain that everyone on the ship was on alert. The captain was relieved. It's not that big of a deal. Just give it a try with them. He has clearly seen that the other side is just a wooden ship. Their weapons are not that powerful than his own. Besides, these crew members are all good players. They will encounter trouble. Nothing to be afraid of. There is no one on the opposite ship. They are hidden and have no flags. They may be people without a country. They may be pirates. It seems that they want to deal with our cargo ship. In that case, they made a mistake. Come on, we are an armed merchant ship. If you want to eat us, you have to have good teeth. From the telescope held tightly in the captain's hand, he suddenly discovered that several people appeared on the opposite ship. They rushed to the front and pulled off the camouflage on the ship with their hands, revealing a cannon. Several people began to operate the cannon. The muzzle was raised and they began to move toward His own ship took aim. The caliber of the cannon on the opposite side is much larger than our own. It should be 150, and my ship is only equipped with four 37 rapid-fire cannons. The captain did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered his ship to speed up to the opponent's speed of twelve knots. At the same time, he operated the cargo ship to move forward in an "S" shape. At this time, the distance between the two sides was about three thousand meters. I saw the Chinese cargo ship speeding up and rushed overThe pirate ship on the opposite side was obviously a little panicked. The speed of the other cargo ship increased, not to mention that they also adopted evasive actions, which made the pirates on the opposite side lose the confidence that they would hit with one hit. Either they were professional navy operators with many years of operating cannons, or no matter how fast the opponent was, They may also hit, but those amateur gunners are much worse. Seeing that the Chinese cargo ship calmly responded to the challenge, they did not dare to continue playing. They immediately began to attack the cargo ship. The first shell landed far behind the cargo ship and exploded. No one on the cargo ship paid attention to their shooting. Their eyes were all staring at the people in front of them, as long as they entered four hundred meters, even those rifles were sure to hit them. The cannon that followed the pirates fired again, but it still fell behind. The boatswain on the cargo ship gave the order to fire at this time. The current distance was one thousand meters. The 37 cannon had already entered the direct range, and the one in front was seen. The door gun fired and a shell flew out of the muzzle and failed to hit the target. The shell flew over the opponent's ship. The gunners immediately adjusted the angle of the ship. The angle of the ship was still within the attack range, so another shot was fired immediately. When the cannonball was fired, it hit instantly and hit directly in front of the opponent's cannon, making them unable to aim for a while. At the same time, a fire was caused there. On the opposite side, several pirates were seen rushing over to put out the fire with water. At this time, the cargo ship changed direction again. The two cannons on the other side also fired. The shells directly hit the front side of the ship. Several wooden boards flew up, and a hole appeared there. The water surface was far away and no water would enter, but the fire started again. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 174 Encountering a Pirate Ship (Text) Text Chapter 175 Destroying the Pirates¡¯ Lair Chapter 175 Destroy the Pirates' Lair Chapter 175 Destroy the Pirates' Lair The cargo ship kept rushing towards the pirate ship. They wanted to have a gunfight with the pirates and then join a gang to catch them. The cannon on the pirate ship fired again at this time, but they The shells still flew into the sea behind. The battle-hardened crew members knew that their cannons were fixed and could not shoot downwards, and their cargo ship was too close to them and their cannons could not hit them at all. The pirates They also seemed to understand that if they wanted to hit the other party, they had to stay away from a certain distance, so their captain began to adjust the ship's course to keep his pirate ship away from the other party's gunfire so that his own gunfire could hit the cargo ship. Seeing that the pirate ship was about to escape, the captain of the cargo ship no longer moved forward in an "S" shape. He rushed the cargo ship directly towards the other party. His speed was more than two knots higher than theirs and he couldn't let them escape. The gunners on the cargo ship also had to keep going. Shooting. Since the opponent's ship was turning at a large angle and his own ship was far away, he adjusted his course and soon the distance between the two ships came within four hundred meters. Without the boatswain's order, the sailors began to shoot at the people on the pirates' ships. Soon there was no one on their ship except for the dead who were hiding in the cabin below. Their cannons also stopped firing, so the other party's command cabin (the command tower on the warship) became the target of the sailors. Shooting target. The pirate ship finally completed its turn and began to move away. The captain of the cargo ship drove his cargo ship to the fastest speed. At this time, the speed of the cargo ship had reached fourteen knots. It quickly rushed towards the pirate ship. There was no one on board their pirate ship. Then rush forward and join forces to capture this pirate ship. hub The two parties were fighting fiercely, but neither of them saw that there were already two fishing boats blocking the front of the pirate ship. In fact, they were not fishing boats at all. They were two small speedboats of the Fangcheng Navy. However, they were disguised as fishing boats. It turned out that they were conducting normal patrols. When they saw the battle on the sea, they rushed over in a hurry. They did not have the power to deal with a cargo ship now. Seeing the three ships dealing with them, the pirates had already drank out in order to survive. When they saw the small boat on the opposite side, they gave them a signal to surrender. The pirates did not answer their shells, but fired at the small fishing boats in the distance. They wanted to escape quickly, but the bodies of those small boats were smaller. How could they be caught? After hitting the three ships, they quickly surrounded the cargo ship and chased it. Some sailors with guns in their hands jumped to help the pirates' ship. The soldiers on the two small boats were not slow at all, and they saw people rushing in front and behind. They came up and rushed towards the pirates' cabin together. Except for a few who dared to shoot, there were only a dozen or so people left. They had no choice but to raise their hands and surrender to the Chinese. They took the prisoners to the cargo ship and began to interrogate those people. They soon told their situation. It turned out that they thought that the Chinese had recently relaxed their control over the South China Sea and they were going to attack the Chinese cargo ships. But they did not expect the Chinese cargo ships. They had such powerful firepower and their shooting skills were better than theirs. Faced with the pirates' attacks, they were not afraid at all and started fighting with them. Unexpectedly, they were not as good as professional pirates as other amateur militiamen. . hub After figuring out their situation, we found out that their lair was not far ahead. The two commanders on the small boat and the captain of the cargo ship decided to work together to remove the pirates' lair and we could not let them continue to attack us. They have no armed forces there anymore. This is the consistent style of Xinghua Group Company. Today you have taken the initiative to attack us, so we have nothing to be polite about. Let a pirate act as the pilot and directly attack the pirates' lair. The pirate ship was dragged behind and soon appeared in front of a small island. It looked like it only covered an area of ??one or two square kilometers. This place was not home to various cargo ships. There are some trees on the channel so it's relatively secluded. The three ships formed an encirclement, the cargo ship was in the east, and the two military boats were in the northwest and southwest directions, and they directly surrounded them. When they got closer, they saw that there were some wooden buildings on the island. They also discovered the Xinghua Group's ships. People on the island were running around and screaming. When they got closer, they discovered that they were in the southwest of the island. There was a small port where there were two merchant ships flying the British flag. At first, they thought they were British ships hijacked by pirates. But after getting closer, they found that it did not look like the ships hijacked by pirates, but more like they were unloading cargo there. Anyway, we have already arrived here, so we can't come here in vain. The crew immediately began to attack there. The cannons on the pirate ship they just captured opened fire on the small island together with the artillery fire on their own ship. A cannonball hit them and suppressed them. Then they saw the pirates on the island making a mess. They were dead and injured. Some pirates who were lucky enough to survive were hurriedly looking for a place to hide. No one cared about them. The Chinese opened fire. Seeing that the other party was unable to resist, the sailors took a small boat and began to land on the beach under the cover of the ship's gunfire. The guns on the distant cargo ship continued to suppress the crowd on the island. The crew landed and there was a burst of gunfire, which drove the people on the islands together. The two cargo ships that were unloading originally wanted to escape, but a small speedboat blocked them there and prevented them from moving. After controlling everyone, the sailors on the speedboat began to search the island. They found that there was a large warehouse on the island that was full of opium. This complicated the problem. This was already China's territorial waters, which meant that there were people. Smuggling opium to China is not a trivial matter. Several of the leaders discussed it together and decided to leave more than a dozen soldiers to guard here. Anyway, the pirates still have a lot of things they can use here. They are neither thirsty nor hungry. The rest of the people are escorted. Follow those prisoners back to their base. Walking on the sea, a speedboat quickly returned to report that the Fangcheng Navy sent troops to the island to transport the opium and cash back. At the same time, it also had to protect the fleet to prevent those people from causing trouble on the way to the escort. Li Zhenhua's residence in Shanghai. Through the efforts of Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhu Baosan and Shen Baoxiang, he now has his own residence. It turns out that it belongs to a big businessman. Because his descendants have ruined it, he wants to sell the yard, but there is no suitable person for Shen Baoxiang in such a big place. After receiving the news, he discussed with Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhu Baosan and decided to take it down. After some decoration, Li Zhenhua moved in. This house has very good and high walls. There are also watchtowers and some simple defense fortifications on the four corners. This makes it easier to protect. At the same time, the transportation here is convenient. You can directly enter and exit cars, carriages, etc. The house has four entrances in total, and three entrances from the front. Each unit arranged for Li Zhenhua, his two wives and the guards to live at the very back. There were no flowers and plants here, only a few big trees. There was a small grassland below a small building. The guards and soldiers lived below. Li Zhenhua and his two wives lived there. On top, he placed confidential rooms, offices, conference rooms and reception rooms. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 175 Destroying the Pirates¡¯ Lair (Text) Text Chapter 176 Windfall Chapter 176 Windfall Chapter 176 Windfall When Feng Yuqing came, he reported to Li Zhenhua that his ocean shipping company¡¯s cargo ship had seized a large amount of opium in the South China Sea: The British East India Company secretly transported it there A large amount of opium was imported to facilitate their smuggling into mainland China. After hearing the news, Li Zhenhua immediately asked: "How much is the total value?" "There are about 20 million silver dollars in goods and more than 6 million silver dollars." "Do the British know now?" "Because we were a surprise attack They don't even know that that small island is one of theirs. They will use small ships to transport it to some of our coastal areas once a month. If they knew, it would take about a month. " "What are you going to do? Deal with those people? " "I don't want the outside world to know. Besides, they are just pirates and there are only a few crew members who are probably not good people. So let's evaporate them." "Alright, let's just let them disappear. You have to do it neatly and don't leave any traces." "I understand." Feng Yuqing saluted Li Zhenhua and walked out of Li Zhenhua's office to deal with those people. b ¡°But what are we going to do with those 20 million goods? It¡¯s not like just depositing cash directly into the bank.¡± Li Zhenhua said to himself. Yaqi and Wang Xin happened to come in. When they heard what Li Zhenhua said, Wang Xin immediately answered: "What should we do?" "The British gave us a big gift." He told Feng Yuqing what he had told him. The two people said it again. Wang Xin's little head turned and said immediately: "Let's use them to make some money from the Japanese. Find a way to sell them to the Japanese." Regarding this proposal, Li Zhenhua agreed that there are some difficulties in it: "No. The Japanese are very strict about opium." "Then give it to them in another way. Let me think about it in another way" Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "Let's divide this thing into two parts. Give some to the British and some to the Japanese so that we can make a lot of money again." Li Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh in a weird way. "What should I do?" the two beauties shouted together. They knew that Li Zhenhua's smile made them wonder who was going to be unlucky again. "Hey, the goods are from the British. Of course we have to return them and the rest will be dealt with by the Japanese." "How to do it? Just tell me quickly?" "It's a good idea but it's a black mark. sohuboo" "What? Hey, why don't you tell me quickly? Isn't this exciting?" The two ladies were a little anxious. "Okay, okay, okay, I said we should purify the opium and sell the fine products back to the UK. Let's find a way to use the remaining dregs in Japan's catering industry." The two of them were stunned. This method is quite dark. But if it is used on the British and Japanese, it is normal. First, their things will be returned, and then the Japanese will be blackmailed. Because Li Zhenhua hates the Japanese, the two ladies also hate the Japanese. So Li Zhenhua, Yaqi, and Wang Xin went to find Yao Wanqiu. He wanted some medical personnel to help him purify the opium. After hearing what Li Zhenhua meant, Yao Wanqiu immediately found two young people for Li Zhenhua and came out to Yao Wanqiu's office. The two people who interviewed Li Zhenhua were Hu Yongliang and Shi Zhiming. When Yao Wanqiu saw his people coming, he asked them to talk together. He called the two ladies away. Since they were here, he had to check their bodies. You must know that Yao Wanqiu is very serious to these two people and the child in their belly. Very seriously. Li Zhenhua liked these two people very much as soon as he saw them. From their eyes, he could tell that these were two people who could regard scientific research as life. It turned out that these two people had already begun to study the purification of some traditional Chinese medicines. When he saw them Li Zhenhua was very happy that the work had come to an end, so he first asked them to work on the issue of sterilization and disinfection on the battlefield. Now many soldiers have lost their lives due to infection after injury. Hu Yongliang said to Li Zhenhua: "There is no such drug in the world now. In 1875, the famous British physicist Tyndall reported to the Royal Society of London that Penicillium can kill bacteria. But what exactly is going on? It¡¯s not clear yet, but the Royal Society did not pay attention to this issue.¡± Li Zhenhua immediately thought that penicillin was not mass-produced until the 1940s. Unexpectedly, they had been discovered long ago, and now people have a preliminary understanding of it. He immediately said to Hu Yongliang: "You should pay close attention in the future."?On the one hand, I will also ask brothers in the intelligence department to pay attention to the relevant news. Many of our soldiers died not from battlefields but from bacterial infections. If you could solve this problem, it would be a great contribution to the world. "So he introduced his knowledge about penicillin to them and asked them to do more research and experiments in this aspect. Li Zhenhua himself didn't know much about this aspect, but he knew that he had to conduct research on them in this aspect. Support and strive for them to get a breakthrough in this area and strive to use it for their own army and country earlier. It can also be used for selling abroad. Sometimes, in order to save the life of a specific person, it can definitely be sold at a good price. At the same time, it can be sold at a good price. He told the two of them the reason why he came this time. They were very happy to be appreciated by the big boss. They thought about it and immediately agreed and asked Li Zhenhua to prepare more equipment for them. They would start experiments in this area immediately. Li Zhenhua introduced to them what he had come to do, mainly to purify opium by distillation. It seems that the conditions in this hospital are poor. The laboratory can only conduct small-dose experiments, but it must be produced. If you want to find a better and bigger place, it is possible to do security work at a machine company in Shanghai. However, the environment there is not good. Since production is going to be carried out, the environment there will be too chaotic. It will definitely have an impact on their research. The place where scientific research should be conducted should be quieter, but where can we go if it is not there? Li Zhenhua carefully thought about the situation around Shanghai but could not think of a good place, so he gave up and let them conduct experiments first. Li Zhenhua was really concerned about this issue. After he came back, he told the two ladies that Yaqi was not very clear about the situation in Shanghai. She meant to go to Dongying to conduct experiments. But Wang Xin proposed a place. She took out the map of Shanghai and said to Li Zhenhua and Yaqi: "Don't you think it would be great if it was in the eastern part of Shanghai? It's all farmland now. Just collect a piece of land and build a house. ". The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 176 Windfall (Text) Text Chapter 177 Japan¡¯s Specialty ¡°Hot Pot Restaurant¡± Chapter 177: Japan's characteristic "hot pot restaurant" Chapter 177: Japan's characteristic "hot pot restaurant" Looking at the map, Yaqi proposed to go to Chongming Island to do it. On Chongming Island, it was obvious that if something happened, she would be outside. The ship's cannon was under fire. Let's just say that in the Pudong area, although the security and confidentiality work there is not as good as Chongming Island, it is worse than other areas. At the same time, the area is also large. There is only a naval academy of the Nanyang Navy. There are not many residents there. Secret production and scientific research can be carried out. Li Zhenhua thought about it carefully and settled the matter, so he asked people to make arrangements there to build one of his drug research institutes there. Thanks to Li Zhenhua¡¯s reminder, Hu Yongliang and Shi Zhiming quickly produced white crystals and sent them to Li Zhenhua after several days of hard work. Li Zhenhua looked at it and thought he could let them do some experiments on animals. He told them that this kind of medicine could relieve pain and be addictive at the same time. He asked them to strictly control this kind of thing and then let them help the workers in the factory to produce and cultivate it. After a group of novices, they will have time to conduct experiments on penicillin. Li Zhenhua showed Feng Yuqing the medicine they had just produced and asked him to formulate a plan to find a way to sell this "drug" to the UK and make a fortune there. Li Zhenhua has no objection to the British pound as long as he can get it. He has no problem with it in his own hands. hub For the remaining items that have been processed, they no longer have the stinky smell. Instead, they have a natural and light fragrance like "poppy". Li Zhenhua asked Feng Yuqing to organize some people from other countries to get it. Japan opens a special restaurant and puts this "seasoning" in it to make the Japanese addicted to it, and then those "yen" can flow into our hands smoothly. More than ten days later, a wealthy businessman named Ruan Xiaoer took a ship from Saigon in Annan to Japan. This was arranged by the intelligence agency. They found such a nominal Annan man. He brought the first batch of several hundred kilograms of "seasonings" with him. Went to Japan. According to the plan of the intelligence agency, he went to Japan to run the catering industry. He had no other skills. His restaurant only had one dish, which was a "hot pot" that he learned from the homes of some high-ranking people in the Qing Dynasty. "Hot Pot": It quickly became popular in Japan. It was obvious that the diet of high-level people was unmistakable, and the Japanese quickly became addicted to it. It's nothing if you haven't eaten before, but as long as you have eaten, you will definitely want to eat there. Therefore, his restaurant quickly became prosperous. If you go there late, you can't even think of having a place. Even some high-ranking people in Japan have to go there. Go eat some wealthy businessmen take pride in going there to eat. hub That Ruan Xiaoer is very good at business. When he saw that people liked to eat, he quickly developed many chain stores, which soon spread all over Japan. At first, these stores were opened by foreign businessmen. Later, some Japanese also wanted to Many Japanese people were deterred by the terrifyingly high franchise fee, but there were still a large number of wealthy Japanese people who joined the catering industry. The people in Ruan's company enthusiastically taught them their "ancestral secret recipe" and they quickly made a lot of money. Many Japanese also joined in this chain reaction, and finally some powerful Japanese. Even Ruan Xiaoer's main store was taken down. They used their friends in the underworld to help threaten Ruan Xiaoer, and finally made the Annan man obediently hand over the management rights of the main store. How could such a profitable business be allowed to happen? It's not okay for foreigners to always occupy it. We must take it back. But although they have taught you the "ancestral secret recipe", the raw materials cannot be produced in Japan. This is another big problem. In the end, they paid the Annan man to transport a large amount of "seasonings" to them and made him a lot of money, which allowed him to return to Annan smoothly. Although Ruan Xiaoer was occupied by others in the hotel, he told the franchisees very loyally that if they run out in the future, come to Annan's home to find me and I will help you. This made the Japanese feel very sorry for this somewhat "silly" Annan man. Later, when they asked him to buy raw materials, he did indeed get a lot of them shipped to Japan by sea. This matter finally attracted the attention of relevant parties in Japan. They discovered that it contained drugs that can make people addicted after eating. Long-term consumption can gradually decline people's body functions and eventually lead to death. This has attracted the attention of the Japanese government and immediately stopped the operation of these restaurants. However, no matter how much your investment is, the cost has been recouped. If you say stop, it must be stopped. But when the Japanese government wants to find that Wuji Ruan Xiaoer again, he It was as if he had evaporated from the world and could not be found at all. Li Zhenhua is happily counting votes here. The Japanese asked him to help find a way to capture Ruan Xiaoer in the north of Annan. Xiao Fei happily agreed for him, but even though he also sent a group of Japanese spies to Annan, there was nothing.The Japanese government had no choice but to let it go, but the Japanese who later joined the chain had thrown away their capital and had no chance of getting it back. After Feng Yuqing arranged the affairs in Japan, he reported to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua was very satisfied that he had arranged the work in Shanghai and took Sun Feihu and others to Dongying. From now on, Dongying will be a strategic rear area for attacking the Japanese landing in Weihai, so Li Zhenhua must be familiar with it, and the officers below him must also be familiar with it. After arriving in Dongying, he first gathered people together to make a general deployment. First, there was no problem with the expansion of the army. The number of personnel quickly exceeded the number he originally planned. After the recruiters went down, they went to several places such as Jinan Prefecture, Dezhou Prefecture in Shandong Province, Hejian Prefecture in Zhili Province, Cangzhou and other places. Because the Xinghua Group Company was developing rapidly, especially in Dongying, their reputation was very good, and people were willing to join. The recruitment of soldiers in their team is progressing very smoothly. The original plan was to recruit 8,000 people, but in fact, more than 15,000 people were recruited. Now, more people are coming to report. Except for some people who are particularly suitable for being soldiers, the rest are all allowed to them. Go to industrial construction. It is still the old rule to first enter the recruit team for simple training and then enter the veteran company to assign them to various units according to their specialties. With Li Biao as the leader, the original team was adjusted from one division to two divisions. Most of the original cadres were promoted. Those deputy positions were all shouldered by full-time responsibilities. Xiao Guoqiang, the original commander of the first regiment, was changed to the division commander of the sixth division. The rest The troops were divided into two and then replenished with new recruits. In this way, the two divisions totaled more than 18,000 people. With the veterans, they could quickly become qualified soldiers. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 177 Japan¡¯s Characteristic ¡°Hot Pot Restaurant¡± (Text) Text Chapter 178 Weihai Military Training Chapter 178 Weihai Big Troop Training Chapter 178 Weihai Big Troop Training Li Zhenhua personally led a group of staff officers and senior cadres to Weihai Beiyang Navy. At this time, they were in Weihai. When they knew that Li Zhenhua was coming, Ding Ruchang immediately led his senior officers to greet Li Zhenhua. I had no choice but to go over to them and tell them that I wanted to go look around. On the surface, Sohubom came here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but his staff were exhausted and had to go to the fields every day to conduct on-the-spot measurements and at the same time compare them with the original maps made by the Japanese to supplement them. The Japanese map also saved the Dongying troops a lot of trouble. Now the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy also know that there is such a prince-in-law supporting them. They saw that Li Zhenhua and his entourage wearing camouflage uniforms were also very friendly to them, and they did not even notice when they were observing military targets. Li Zhenhua was prevented from looking at the places where the Japanese troops would land two years later. He carefully recorded the places where the enemy might pass through. He even made accurate calculations of the approximate time it would take for the Japanese troops to land in the future, so that he really knew it well. . He read in detail and recorded the routes that the Japanese army would take in the future, as well as the artillery positions and attack routes that they might set up. The Japanese army's final attack on the Beiyang Navy was mainly carried out with artillery. At that time, the two divisions of Japan's Second Army came with a total of more than 25,000 people. However, the Beiyang Navy's Marine Corps only had a few hundred people. After all the troops fled, they still persisted until the last shot was fired. No one surrendered to the Japanese. However, those foreigners and some senior officers raised the white flag to the Japanese army. Even after Ding Ruchang died, they still pretended to be his. Surrendered to the Japanese army in name. b After the on-site inspection, they made a detailed map and recorded everything they needed. At the same time, he asked the intelligence personnel to make a map and made some false information on it to exaggerate Weihai's land defense strength. Yes, let the Japanese come more. Anyway, more good ones. The more they come, the more I will destroy them. It is definitely a good thing to destroy their effective forces. He asked Sun Feihu to hand over this false information to the Japanese. After the markings on the map were completed, Li Zhenhua asked several senior officers to divide them into two parts: one as the attacker and the other as the defender, and let them conduct practical exercises on landing and counter-landing in Weihai. Li Biao of the fifth division acted as the defender, and Xiao Guoqiang of the sixth division acted as the defender. The offensive staff were also divided into two sides to advise them. Their plan was reported to Li Zhenhua early the next morning. Their plan was marked on the map. Li Biao first explained the intention of attacking and then Xiao Guoqiang explained the defense. Then there was a military exercise. Tens of thousands of troops entered the Weihai area. Li Zhenhua did a great job this time. He mobilized all the people away in order to prevent the Japanese from discovering that even the offshore areas were blocked. Li Biao's troops were in the navy. Under the cover of powerful naval guns, they began to land. At Li Zhenhua's request, they also landed from Rongcheng. However, Xiao Guoqiang did not place the main force on the seaside at all. Facing the powerful Japanese ship firepower, he would not use his own soldiers to do so. He wanted to bring the enemy in to attack Li Biao's troops after they landed. Then they concentrated their forces to attack major intersections and commanding heights. Then they concentrated their forces and began to advance toward Weihai, the base of the Beiyang Navy. During the more than 100 miles, Xiao Guoqiang had to gradually wear out Xiao Guoqiang. Li Biao's troops. b Xiao Guoqiang placed small troops at various important locations for defense. However, his main force was mobile. He used powerful mobile forces to outflank the attacking troops and surrounded Li Biao from behind. The two sides launched a fierce battle. After the exercise, they made a careful summary. Because Xiao Guoqiang was fighting on the inside, he should have the upper hand, while Li Biao's troops, who were fighting on the outside, were at a disadvantage. Seeing that the two of them were fighting equally well, Li Zhenhua concluded: "For their long-distance operations, you have to find ways to consume them. They are eager to reach Weihai and pose a threat to the Beiyang Navy. If you set up an ambush near the hot spring town where they are about to arrive, the effect will be It's much better to send a force here to block them first. They will definitely stop and then attack them at night, which will get twice the result with half the effort. You can also give full play to the role of your artillery. " "You have to attack them here first. They can make a pocket and put them in. Then we can destroy them with powerful artillery and we won't lose anything. Then we can cut off their escape route and then they will have no way to go to heaven." Several officers and staff members all knew that this was the most economical war to achieve the greatest victory with the least loss. After listening to Li Zhenhua's explanation, everyone nodded in recognition. This cannot be said to be incompetent because they mainly conducted various forms of guerrilla warfare in Annan and have not commanded large-scale battles, so it is inevitable that they will be ill-considered. But the war against the Japanese is different from the war against the French. The Japanese are cruel and vicious. They have all been brainwashed with the spirit of Bushido. They mayIf you don't surrender, you're welcome to destroy them all. After coming back, the staff officers and officers were still discussing the situation of this battle. They have improved a lot through such actual combat exercises, and they will handle such battles well in the future. On the way back, Li Zhenhua saw that the roadbed from Dongying to Weihai had been repaired. It would be better to lay a layer of asphalt for them in hot weather. He also helped the road construction department re-modify the drawings of the road roller for them to go. We will make further improvements and strive to build the road from Dongying to Weihai this year. We will also strive to build the road to Cangzhou. This will be much faster in transporting troops and transferring them. Li Zhenhua ordered Li Biao to personally take people to the Liaodong area. He said to Li Biao: "The Liaodong area may also be a key area for the Japanese army to attack in the future. You must also become familiar with the situation there and understand all the terrain there. You can lead some staff there personally and come up with a few more plans, and then everyone can study them together. " Fangcheng has already sent a telegram that their warship manufacturing has begun, and they are already prepared for the construction of cruisers. The turret part has already been completed and other raw materials have been prepared. They are just waiting for the order to start construction. Now the order came down and the two warships were carried out at the same time. They immediately went into the intense construction because a lot of preparation work had already been carried out. It is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the year. Various tests can be carried out as soon as the New Year is over. In a few months, you can enter the fleet for comprehensive training. Of course, the training still has to go to Batavia. My own strength cannot let the Japanese and the Qing government knew. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 178 Weihai Military Training (Text) Text Chapter 179 Happy to have a son Chapter 179: Happy to have a son Chapter 179: Happy to have a son In a Shanghai hospital, Yao Wanqiu came out of the operating room with a tired look on her face. She smiled and said to Li Zhenhua, who was anxiously waiting outside, "Congratulations, madam, for giving birth to a son for you." Before Li Zhenhua could be happy, he saw Yao Wanqiu's body swayed and almost fell to the ground. Li Zhenhua took a step forward, hugged her and said to the people next to him: "Hurry up, someone will come and rescue Dean Yao." Hearing Li Zhenhua¡¯s cry, several medical staff ran over and sent Yao Wanqiu to the emergency room. Li Zhenhua also hurriedly followed. Li Zhenhua nervously said to Yao Wanqiu who was lying on the hospital bed: "What's wrong with you?" "It's nothing. I'm just a little tired. I just want to take a nap. Don't stay here with me. Come and see your son and wife." The medical staff on the side also said: "Go and see your son quickly. We are here." Li Zhenhua came out and told them to take good care of the dean before he went to see his son and wife. It turns out that Yaqi is often active because she is a martial arts practitioner, but the baby's fetal position was abnormal during delivery, which caused bleeding. Yao Wanqiu was determined to protect both mother and baby. She was busy in the operating room for several hours, and she was quite tired from work during this period. This made her almost faint, but she could recover quickly as long as she got some rest. hub Li Zhenhua entered the delivery room. Yaqi had already fallen asleep because she was tired. Her son was brought over by a nurse. The child who had just been born was not very grown, but this was his own son. He picked up the son gently. He said to him: "I almost killed your mother because of this little thing like you." The little guy seemed to understand what he said and immediately burst into tears unhappily. Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "Good boy, don't let others say no." Everyone on the side laughed and a nurse hurriedly took the child over. After coaxing him for a while, he stopped crying. Seeing that his son didn't like him, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to shake his head and sit next to Yaqi. He gently held Yaqi's hand and said, "Get a good rest. You're too tired." A nurse came in and whispered in Li Zhenhua's ear: "Director Feng is here and I have something to talk to you about." Seeing that Yaqi was already asleep, Li Zhenhua stood up and said softly to the nurse: "I'm sorry to trouble you here. This place should be here." I'm here to guard you, so if you have anything to do with me, go out first." The nurse said to him: "Go and do your work. You can rest assured that we are here." Li Zhenhua quietly came outside, where Feng Yuqing was waiting. It turned out that he was here to report on sending people to England. Boom, he said that the people going to the UK have successfully set off. It is expected that news will come back soon, so Li Zhenhua can rest assured. On a ship from Shanghai to London, Xu Jing and Yin Ping entered their cabin with their suitcases. They were two young men dressed in businessman's robes and mandarin jackets, with a long braid and a small hat on their heads. The faces of the two people are ordinary. If you were in a crowd, you would never notice them. But if we talk about their skills, they are the absolute masters among masters. Whether it is modern firearms or some tricks of traditional cold weapons, they are proficient in everything. In addition, bare-handed grappling and fighting can make them even more powerful. These are Feng Yuqing's people. They accepted Feng Yuqing's order and are going to England. Their mission is to return the two boxes of "medicines" in their hands to the British. However, the British must spend pounds to buy them. of. There are several people under them, one of them is a couple, two servants, two are jewelry and jade merchants, and a few of them are students studying abroad. Speaking of which, their power can be said to be very strong. None of them look like soldiers, but they are the most outstanding among them. Although he already has his own intelligence station in the UK, this time Feng Yuqing sent a strong lineup for Li Zhenhua's great cause. This trip must be successful and must not come back with losses. The journey on the road lasted about a month. Although many of them were familiar with each other, except for Xu Jing and Yin Ping who talked to them alone, they had no contact with each other, but they were on good terms with other travelers around them. The relationship is very good. Their mission for this trip is to use the underground black forces to wholesale the "medicines" in the suitcases to the British while strengthening intelligence work in the UK. They are required to break into the upper echelons of the UK. The UK can now be said to be the boss in the world. Mastering their information will be of great benefit to their future work. So this time Feng Yuqing spent a lot of money and sent out all the people. He is a master in intelligence work. After leaving Shanghai, we entered the East China Sea, then the South China Sea, passed Malacca, entered the Indian Ocean, and after a few days of sailing, we entered the Red Sea and passed Suez.The canal enters the Mediterranean Sea, enters the Atlantic Ocean through Gibraltar, and then continues through the English Channel to London, the capital of the United Kingdom. After disembarking, the few of them went their own way. They quickly disappeared into the vast sea of ????people in this foreign country without even making any sign. Soon they were about to insert a sharp knife into the heart of the world's boss. dagger. Winter has come again. The construction of Dongying has been invested for a year. During this more than a year, I have invested a lot of money and manpower in Dongying. Now I have income, but it is not enough. I still need to continue to expand the construction here to make it a world leader. The most famous petrochemical city in the world. At the same time, winter is mainly a favorable time to train southern soldiers to adapt to the harsh northern winter. Li Zhenhua knew that the well-equipped German army in World War II was not defeated by the guns of the Soviet Red Army, but that the severe winter was because Hitler only wanted to He hoped that he could capture Moscow within three months, so they did not prepare enough supplies for the winter. The severe cold in the later stages of the war brought him down. Since I know that the First World War with Japan took place in the winter of 1894, I cannot be prepared. I absolutely cannot let my soldiers pay heavy sacrifices due to lack of preparation. First, they must be able to adapt and secondly, they must be able to adapt. They are well-dressed and cannot withstand the cold. The soldiers from the north are completely adaptable. Even if they don¡¯t have winter clothes, they can naturally withstand it. However, the soldiers from the south cannot. Frostbite and frostbite are entirely possible, which will cause great harm. Non-combat attrition, but if they undergo several winters of hard training, they will be much better. In their own logistics work, they can also find many practical problems and they will correct them at any time. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 179: Happy Son (Text) Text Chapter 180 Li Zhongtang¡¯s Thoughts Therefore, he especially emphasized the importance of winter training for Li Biao and Xiao Guoqiang, so that they could not relax the training of the soldiers because they felt sorry for the soldiers. These two men were brought out by themselves, and they took Li Zhenhua's words seriously. implemented. Every morning is the coldest time of the day. The loud bugle sounds, and all the soldiers get out of their hot quilts and start their arduous training. Even these two division commanders train with the soldiers every day. We train together and they never run less, and they always run ahead of the soldiers. As a time traveler, Li Zhenhua clearly knows the direction of history. He knows the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899 very clearly. He knows that the attitude of two generations of emperors, Weng Tonghe, towards the Japanese, he appeared as the main battler. , but in the original world, Li Hongzhang was pursuing the so-called "avoiding war and preserving ships" approach. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, he adopted a "peaceful" attitude. This man had been playing the game of "using barbarians against barbarians" all his life. He thinks that the countries in Europe and the West are relatively friendly, and they can often restrain each other. The Beiyang Navy, which he has worked hard for many years, is his biggest trump card. It must not be lost. Once he loses him, It was over, so he adopted the approach of "avoiding war and protecting ships" and stood together with Empress Dowager Cixi's peace faction. But Weng Tonghe wanted to force Li Hongzhang to fight because of his personal grudge with Li Hongzhang. He also knew that Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Navy had been in disrepair for many years and could not defeat the Japanese. In terms of military affairs, the court's investment has reached more than 10 million taels, which should have achieved some results, so he is the main combatant. Under his instigation, Emperor Guangxu also wanted to make himself stand out as soon as possible, so he They are also actively fighting. Regarding this situation, as a time traveler, Li Zhenhua is very clear. Let¡¯s ignore them for the main battle and the dispute between the DPRK and China. Let¡¯s solve Li Hongzhang¡¯s ideological problems first. Now that I have spent so much effort to help him, of course this is not simply to help him. If he continues to take the path of "avoiding battles and protecting ships" and loses a good fighter opportunity, then he will be too disappointed. , these investments of mine are not worth the gain. Li Zhenhua decided to have an interview with Li Hongzhang to solve his "avoidance" thought and let him truly establish a war thought. First, I sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang to inquire. He is in Tianjin now, so let¡¯s go to Tianjin. Li Zhenhua and his guards were on the road. Li Zhenhua still liked his car, so they went there by car this time. Cars are on the road. The road from Dongying to the Yellow River has been repaired. It is much more comfortable to drive on it. There are not many vehicles now and the road is well built. You can go at full speed. Since there is no odometer yet, there is no The speed showed, but based on Li Zhenhua's own feeling, it should be about forty kilometers now, and it only took a few dozen minutes to reach the Yellow River. When he arrived at the river, he saw people building a bridge over the Yellow River. Seeing Li Zhenhua coming, the engineers and people in charge of building the bridge came to visit Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua learned about the situation of the project, asked them to pay attention to quality issues and safe construction, and then crossed the Yellow River by ferry and continued to move north. The roadbed in the area north of the Yellow River has been completed, and road paving work is in progress. Their construction has left Shandong and entered Zhili. But once you pass Cangzhou, the road is not easy to walk. It is still the original dirt road, and many of the roads have been dug into two deep ditches by the iron pulley carts of this era. Cars can only drive in On such a road, we advanced in leaps and bounds, and we arrived in Tianjin in the evening of the next day. Tianjin has gradually developed since the Ming Dynasty. Some people still call Tianjin "Tianjin Wei", which is the name from the Ming Dynasty. It is now the largest commercial port in the north, plus a series of Qing Dynasty in Tianjin There are many yamen in Tianjin, such as Beiyang Navy, Tianjin Machinery Bureau, Tianjin Road, Tianjin Changlu Salt Road, Tianjin Customs Road, Beiyang Trade Affairs Yamen, etc. It can be said that there are many yamen. There are all kinds of shops not only in the old city of Tianjin, but also on the banks of the Haihe River and in the concessions. There are all kinds of shops, both domestic and foreign, forming a unique scene. The most prosperous places should be Beidaguan and Guayi Street. , and there is the Nanshi area, where the shops are really close to each other. The streets were crowded with people, and all kinds of hawking sounds came and went. The officials and wealthy people continued their daily lives, eating and drinking when they should. They didn't know about the Japanese warships, The artillery has already been aimed at North Korea, not to mention that their ultimate target is this great land of our Chinese nation. When several of Li Zhenhua's "Great Wall" cars, followed by a truck carrying gasoline, drove into Tianjin, it was already late.The journey from the camp to here was more than 600 miles, which took nearly two days. Because his car was not fast and the road was not easy to walk, it took a long time. As soon as he entered Tianjin, Li Zhenhua originally wanted to I found a place and rested one night at the inn at Balitai. Anyway, Old Li wouldn't be working anymore at night. Then I thought, it would be better to settle the matter at night and go back tomorrow. So he decided to meet Li Hongzhang and have an interview with him at night. The car continued to move forward and passed Balitai. In front of it was Weijin Road in later generations. It does not have this name yet. It was named after the battle with the Eight-Power Allied Forces in 1900. Enter Nanmenwai Street and turn eastward. Cross the city, take the southeast corner to the east gate, cross the Yanguan Floating Bridge (also known as the Meng Gong Bridge, and later the iron bridge was built, which is now the Jingang Bridge) and arrive at Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Trade Affairs Office. As soon as they saw a group of cars and a group of guards coming, the footmen at the door immediately panicked, but when they saw Mr. Li Zhenhua, they felt relieved. Although they had not seen General Li, they were already there. After talking about General Li's arrival, a man who looked like a leader ran over and said to Li Zhenhua: "I've seen General Li." Li Zhenhua has now learned the tricks of the Qing Dynasty, and said to him: "Hurry up and report that I, Li Zhenhua, am here." The footman hurried in and reported to Li Hongzhang. After a while, I saw the gate of the Yamen opened. I didn't hear the sound of cannons. I probably thought it was night. Li Hongzhang and his beloved son-in-law Zhang Peilun came out in person: "General Li, you are really fast. I just said it yesterday." , arrived today.¡± "The road is too difficult to walk. If it were easier, we could arrive earlier." "Please come quickly, please come quickly." After saying this, he stretched his hand inside and let Li Zhenhua in. Entering Li Hongzhang's study, Li Zhenhua was not polite and sat down on his chair. Feng Yuqing stood behind him. Li Zhenhua did not bother to greet him and said immediately: "Master Zhongtang, I'm starving. Please bring me your leftovers. I'll sit on the bottom first, otherwise I won't even have the energy to talk." Text Chapter 181 Li Zhongtang Chapter Li Zhongtang Li Hongzhang immediately said: "That's no good. Let the kitchen do it for you. It won't be troublesome. " "No, just hurry up and let's talk while we eat. Just listen to me." Li Hongzhang looked at Li Zhenhua and immediately said: "I'll just follow you and come." A footman immediately agreed to Li Hongzhang and said to him outside the house: "I will serve General Li a meal immediately and arrange for his servants at the same time." Someone outside said yes and said, "Cha" and they naturally went to make arrangements. Li Hongzhang first poured a cup of tea for Li Zhenhua and the two of them got down to business. Li Zhenhua directly asked: "Master Zhongtang, what do you think of the Japanese's intimidating posture?" Li Hongzhang looked at the young prince-in-law and slowly stroked his beard with his hand and said to him: "General, do you have any ideas? Just tell me directly. No need to beat around the bush." "My lord, there will definitely be a war between China and Japan within two years. The first to bear the brunt will be your Beiyang Navy and the North Korea under your jurisdiction, can't you see it?" ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t see it, but it¡¯s that I can¡¯t do anything after seeing it.¡± "Then what do you plan to do, Master Zhongtang?" "What else can we do? We have to ask other countries to mediate. Is there any good way, sir?" It turned out to be exactly what he expected. This made Li Zhenhua think to himself, "As expected, why don't you come up with some new words?" It seems that if it doesn't work, then give him some strong medicine. So he waved his hand to Feng Yuqing. Feng Yuqing took out a Japanese intelligence document he had made against the Qing government and handed it to Li Zhenhua's hands with both hands. hub Li Zhenhua handed it into Li Hongzhang's hands again. Zhang Peilun immediately handed him a pair of crystal reading glasses and then added two candles to him. The room became brighter and Li Hongzhang began to read seriously. Feng Yuqing¡¯s document was very detailed, describing a series of situations in which the Japanese government dealt with the Qing Dynasty in recent years: After Japan's "Meiji Restoration" in the 1860s, the rapid development of capitalism combined with the feudal Bushido spirit produced a monster called militarism, which was extremely expansionary and predatory. Invading and defeating China is the established national policy of modern Japanese militarism. As early as 1855, Japan's reformist politician Yoshida Matsui Yoko advocated: "Once the warships and cannons are slightly strengthened, it will be easier to open up Ezo. Xiaoyu Ryukyu envoys joined North Korea to accuse North Korea of ??making them pay tribute, cut off the land of southern Manchuria, and take over Taiwan, The island of Luzon occupied the whole of China and dominated India." Yoshida's crazy expansion thought had a profound impact on her disciples who later became Japanese politicians, including Prime Minister Ito Hakata and Aritomo Yamagata (President of the Senate). It became the mainstream thinking of Japanese politicians at this time. In the early days of their Meiji Restoration, the Japanese laid the foundation for their mainland policy. Minister Tanaka Giichi said in the infamous Tanaka Memorial: "The Meiji Emperor's legacy is to conquer Taiwan in the first phase, conquer Korea in the second phase, and conquer Manchuria in the third phase. Conquer China in the fourth phase and conquer the world in the fifth phase.¡± If these discussions were just a ¡°blueprint¡± at the time, they were already very clear and concrete in 7 years. The Japanese government formulated a detailed and specific strategy for the conquest of the Qing Dynasty and decided to complete the preparations for the war against China before 1892. The direction of the attack was Korea, the Liaodong Peninsula, the Shandong Peninsula, the Penghu Islands, Taiwan, and the Zhoushan Islands. Seven years later, the Japanese government launched a war of aggression in accordance with this timetable and road map and achieved almost all of their goals. Japan has consistently implemented the above-mentioned national policies and made full preparations in all aspects over the past few decades, and has implemented 8 military expansion registrations. In the years before the Sino-Japanese War, the average annual military expenditure was as high as 31% of total income. In 1977, the emperor ordered that 300,000 yuan be squeezed out of the royal family's funds as naval subsidies, and the empress donated her jewelry to the navy. Although this money It¡¯s not a lot, but it expresses the determination of the supreme ruler and is bound to be a great inspiration to the whole country. Sure enough, inspired by the Emperor and his wife, wealthy people across the country donated more than 1 million yen a year. This not only increased military spending but also greatly boosted the morale of the people. While Japan was expanding its military, it also sent a large number of spies to operate in China, North Korea and coastal areas. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898, Japan drew detailed maps of every hill and every road in Korea and my country's Liaodong Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula and the Bohai Sea. Japan is like a well-made war machine that is constantly running. Once the time is right, Japan will not hesitate to resort to force. In contrast, the Qing government's judgment of the national security situation was very inadequate, and it lacked due foresight and vigilance against aggression. The above are policy issues from the upper echelons of Japan, and the following are some comparisons between the Beiyang Navy and the Japanese Combined Fleet conducted by Feng Yuqing: Japan has always been paying attention to China. 0 years Chief of Staff of JapanIn a team investigation report submitted to Emperor Meiji, Aritomo of the prefecture pointed out that the Qing government was reforming the military system. If it followed the example of Europe, it could recruit 4.25 million troops in peacetime, and as many as 8.5 million troops in wartime. Therefore, he believes that "the stronger the military preparedness of neighboring countries, the more impregnable the military preparedness of one's own country will be." After 1890, Japan used 60% of the national fiscal revenue to develop its navy and army. From 1893, Emperor Meiji decided to allocate 300,000 yuan from his own palace funds every year and add one-tenth from the salaries of civil and military officials. Shipbuilding costs. The morale of the whole country in Japan is high, with the goal of catching up with China and preparing for a war that "bets the fate of the country." In 1890, the Beiyang Navy had seven warships of more than 2,000 tons, totaling more than 27,000 tons, while the Japanese Navy had only five warships of more than 2,000 tons, totaling more than 17,000 tons. In 1892, Japan completed its ten-year military expansion plan ahead of schedule. By the eve of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1892, Japan had established an army with 63,000 standing troops and 230,000 reserve troops, and a 72,000-ton army. The navy has greatly surpassed the Beiyang Navy. During this period, the Qing government saw that after decades of Westernization Movement, in a series of military confrontations, it was no longer like the Opium War when even a few foreign gunboats could not cope with it, so they could not help but feel a little complacent. In the process of dealing with Western countries, I realized that the Westerners had no intention of annexing the country but just wanted to take advantage of trade, so they relaxed their armament awareness even more. Although some actions by Japan in the east in recent years make people vaguely feel that it will be troublesome in the future. The Beiyang Navy has not added any ships since its formal establishment in 2011. The fleet is gradually aging and compared with Japan's newly added warships, their firepower is weak and their actions are slow. After 1891, even the purchase of guns and ammunition stopped. This is not because the arms industry was nationalized and the money was used by Cixi to repair the Summer Palace. The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "When Guangxu came to the throne in 1875, I was still young and had to listen to the government behind the curtain. In 1875, it was changed to tutoring and returning to the government in 9 years. I didn't do anything but build a garden and take care of myself. Isn't it enough?" Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Meiji When a couple compares and contrasts this realm, the gap is huge. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter Li Zhongtang (Text) Text Chapter 182 Li Zhongtang (1) Chapter 182 Li Zhongtang (1) Among them, the average speed of the first guerrilla group in the Japanese Navy's combined fleet reached 19.4 knots. According to statistics at the time, the firing speed of the rapid-fire cannon at that time was six times that of the original breech-loading cannon. From this calculation, the firepower of the Japanese fleet was actually equivalent to three times that of the Beiyang Fleet. The equipment of the Japanese ships in order of navigation is as follows: First guerrilla unit Ship name Captain Displacement (tons) Speed ??(knots) Main gun (door) "Yoshino" Kaori Kaname 4, rapid-fire gun 4 "Takachiho" Nomura Sadat 370918260mm2 "Akitsusu" "Uemura Hikouchi 315026 150mm rapid-fire gun 4 "Naniwa" Togo Heihachiro 370924 The first group of the team: Ship name Captain Displacement (tons) Speed ??(knot) Main gun (door) "Chiyoda" Uchida Masatoshi 243919120mm rapid-fire gun 1 The team's first group Second group formation: Ship name Captain Displacement (tons) Speed ??(knots) Main gun (door) "Hashidate" Hidaka Sonojo 427320 "Hiei" Sakurai Noriyuki "Fuso" Arai Yukon 377713280mm2 Left side of the main team : Ship name Captain Displacement (tons) Speed ??(knots) Main gun (door) "Saikyo Maru" Shikano Yushin 410015120mm "Akagi" Sakamoto Hataro At this time, two lines of spaces appeared in the first group of the team, which naturally allowed the defense to The two ships "Matsushima" and "itsukushima" were destroyed by the city. sohub, but soon two new warships will appear in Japan to fill this gap. But I don¡¯t know who the new captain is. The equipment of the 12 warships of the Beiyang Fleet is as follows: Ship name Captain Displacement (tons) Speed ??(knots) Main gun (door) "Dingyuan" flagship Liu Buchan "Zhenyuan" Lin Taizeng "Jingyuan" Lin Yongsheng "Laiyuan" Qiu Baoren " "Zhiyuan" 230018210mm2 "Jingyuan" Ye Zugui 230018210mm2 "Jiyuan" Fang Boqian 230015210mm2 "Pingyuan" Li He "Super Yong" Huang Jianxun 135015250mm2 "Yangwei" Lin Lvzhong 135015250mm2 " Guangjia" Wu Jingrong 129615150mm2 "Guangbing" Cheng Biguang 100017120mm3 There are also some gunboats and torpedo boats. There is also a Japanese map that clearly marks all the conditions of the Beiyang Navy, including the well. bLi Hongzhang couldn't read Japanese, but some of the signs on it still shocked him. Li Hongzhang looked at the documents, Li Zhenhua ate, and neither of them wasted any time. Li Zhenhua finished eating in three or two times, then helped Li Hongzhang light the candle, and then sat down and drank tea slowly. When facing such a person in this world, you have to be patient. Finally, Li Hongzhang finished reading and Li Zhenhua asked: "How was it? What are your thoughts?" Li Hongzhang sighed: "I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems that this battle can't be fought." "Why?" Li Zhenhua thought in his heart Do you have to ask me to kill him? Li Hongzhang finally began to speak slowly again: "Think about it, if there is a fight, it will be difficult for our Beiyang Navy to win. Even if we win, it will be a lose-lose result. It is unwise to do something knowing that it cannot be done. The only thing we can do is to find a way to ask the Westerners to mediate to avoid the war. " "Now the Japanese are eyeing us. Their efforts for many years are just to insert a knife in our chest. If you think about it, it is better not to fight. But if What will you do if the Japanese attack you at your doorstep?" Li Hongzhang was speechless, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Then the Qing powers will have to mediate." Li Zhenhua heard what Li Hongzhang said. As expected, he paused for a moment and then continued: "Master Zhongtang, if others don't fight this battle, you can look at the entire Qing Dynasty, but you are the only one who must fight." "Why is this?" "What do you think, Chaoting is here? How much did you invest in the Beiyang Navy? Whose defense lines are there in the three provinces of Zhili and North Korea? What if the Japanese army landed from North Korea, Lushun or Shandong and did not say how the court would deal with you? A bunch of Qingliu will ruin your reputation for the rest of your life and let the people tell you what they will say about you." Li Zhenhua knew that people like Li Hongzhang were not afraid of death during their lives, but they took their reputation very seriously after death. The reputation of Qingliu and the common people is very important. Listening to Li Zhenhua¡¯s explanation, Li Hongzhang also thought of these problems. If he blindly avoids fighting, the Japanese will definitely drive in. Until then, he will still have to fight, but he will be completely passive. If he fights by then, it will be even worse.It's not easy to fight. Although the Queen Mother and the Emperor value him, there are a group of disciples, Weng Tonghe and others behind him who will not let him go. Even if you ask other countries to mediate, both sides must listen. But will the Japanese listen? I didn't know that the Japanese were a bunch of beasts. Li Hongzhang's sweat soaked the clothes on his back. His expression kept changing for a while. After a while, he had no choice but to raise his head and look. Li Zhenhua asked: "What should we do about this matter, General Yi?" "I need to ask you first if you want to fight." "Fighting is possible, but how can we guarantee victory." "As long as Master Zhongtang is willing to fight, everything will be done. After all, I promise to let the Japanese combined fleet sink to the bottom of the sea, so that your great fame will last forever." Li Hongzhang asked hurriedly: "Please tell me directly, general. I am very anxious here." " Okay, let me tell you straight. I have made all preparations here. In addition to changing some of the artillery of the Beiyang Navy to rapid-fire cannons, I will also use five cruisers to participate in the battle. One is five thousand tons, two are four thousand tons, and the other two are Three thousand tons of us are stationed in active areas at the same time to support your Beiyang Navy at any time. In addition, I have two other tricks to deal with them. As long as they dare to enter our Yellow Sea, they will be doomed. My warship strength is yours. I know. Last time, it was just a 4,000-ton ship that killed them." Li Hongzhang breathed a sigh of relief and realized that they had already prepared it and didn't need their own Beiyang navy. You can also fight back the Japanese. If you add your own Beiyang navy, you can really annihilate them all in the Bohai Sea. Li Hongzhang couldn't help but said: "The Qing Dynasty has a general. It is a great blessing for the country, a great blessing for the Beiyang Navy, and a great blessing for all the people. I have known for a long time that my association with the Lord is definitely my blessing." "There is one more thing that I need to say to the Lord Zhongtang. "Oh, my General Li, just say no. Is there anything I can't do?" "How about your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief of Zhili, Ye Zhichao?" The death-defying Lord was also a famous general in our Huai Army. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of Zhili. " "But you have to be careful about this person and don't let him ruin your important affairs." "Sir. But what's the news? " Li Zhenhua has nothing to say at this moment. He can't say that he already knew it. How could he know that he would run away as soon as the fight started? He didn't even know the person. He had no choice but to turn around and said: "To deal with the Japanese army, which has stronger weapons than ours, is not to deal with the Taiping Army and Nian Army's garrison in Korea. You must send capable manpower." "Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me to pay attention. "The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 182 Li Zhongtang (1) (Text) Text Chapter 183 Li Zhongtang (3) Chapter 183 Li Zhongtang (3) Speaking of this, Li Zhenhua began to discuss with Li Hongzhang how to improve the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Navy. The quality of the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy has not been mentioned. Some of the senior officers except Ding Ruchang are all "returnees" The middle-level commanders who studied under the British Royal Navy have also undergone many years of vocational studies in China. The officers' orders on the warships are all in English, and even those who are soldiers can understand them. These people have not purchased new warships for many years. They have served on a warship and can be said to have been well-trained. Their shooting skills are what their British teachers also admire. The biggest problem is that the warship is too old. The technical equipment is relatively backward. Now Li Zhenhua is providing them with the problem of modified artillery. If they want to modify it, they have to go to Fangcheng. Now even Shanghai can't solve it. So the two of them decided to "jingyuan" five warships equipped with 210mm cannons. "Laiyuan", "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Jiyuan", and "Jingyuan" ship management leader Lin Yongsheng as the squadron commander led them immediately south to the Fangcheng to replace the cannon and repair the power system. The main gun is still unified with the 210 secondary gun to imitate the German 150 cannon. This will facilitate future logistics supply and the use of modified shells can also increase the firepower. After they come back, let "Laiyuan" lead Li He as the commander of the squadron and lead "Pingyuan", "Chaoyong", "Yangwei", "Guangjia" and "Guangbing" to the south for the second time for replacement and modification. . b The 260 cannons of "Pingyuan" were changed to 210s. The cannons of the two ships "Chaoyong" and "Yangwei" were also changed to 210s, and one or two secondary guns were added to them so that their firepower would be higher. It won't be much different. If they perform some surgery on their power system, their speed may be increased by more than two knots. "Guang Jia" originally had two 150 main guns, but it was changed into a rapid-fire cannon. "Guang Bing" had three 120 main guns and was also changed into two 150 rapid-fire cannons. It is estimated that the power system will be solved. Can increase speed by two knots. This leaves the last two ironclads and let Fangcheng¡¯s technical staff come over to Lushun to solve the problem of stopping the retreat and the locking device of the gun doors. The main guns of the 305 remained unchanged. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the entire Beiyang Navy warships increased by more than one level. Seeing Li Zhenhua's arrangement, the illness that had troubled Li Hongzhang for many years was gone, which made him feel very happy. He said to Li Zhenhua: "Now that the illness in my heart has been completely removed, what should I do?" "Just other things. As long as you dare to fight with the Japanese, I will feel relieved. If you feel unbalanced, please give me some more students from the Tianjin Naval Academy. Those warships are also short of manpower. " "Then I'll give you all the students who graduated this year. Sohuboo just let go of Sa Zhenbing and Yan Fu complained to me several times. The profit is too much, how can I repay it? " "Don't tell me, you gave me two machine games, after all, I still made a profit." "Hahahaha" they laughed together. The spring night was short, and the east had turned white. They stretched themselves and walked out together. Li Zhenhua said to Li Hongzhang, "Master Zhongtang, I will take my leave and won't disturb you here." "What? You haven't rested for two days. Are you in such a hurry to leave?" "I have no choice but to work hard. I still have a lot to do." Li Hongzhang said with emotion: "If all the officials in the Qing Dynasty were like you, who would dare to look down on me? "Li Zhenhua said to Li Hongzhang: "Let's not talk about this. I will come to you for a drink after we defeat the Japanese." "Okay, I will wait for that day." Li Zhenhua's car has gone away. Standing in front of his yamen, this young man didn't pay attention to the imperial court at all, but he devoted all his energy to dealing with the Japanese. Who among the imperial court and those ministers can compare with him? With these arrangements of his The neighbor to the east is really in trouble. Thinking of the arrogance of those Japanese devils when negotiating with them before, I felt really angry, but I had no choice but to finally say this this time. Li Hongzhang returned to the study in an excited mood. He did not go to rest and immediately asked Zhang Peilun to draft an order to arrange for the warship to go south. At the same time, he asked the students to prepare to go to Fangcheng with the warship. After Li Hongzhang laid out the order, he asked Zhang Peilun: "What do you think of this General Li?" Zhang Peilun said: "My father-in-law seems to my son-in-law that this person is not small-minded." "More than that, the Qing Dynasty will be the future. I'm afraid everyone will be affected by him. In hisUnder the influence, the world becomes lively. " Zhang Peilun smiled knowingly. "As for the other Ye Zhichao, since Mr. Li has said so, he must guard against him and put some more burdens on the commander-in-chief Nie Shicheng. In the future, just give him the name of deputy commander so that they can negotiate and resolve any issues and not let Ye Zhichao act arbitrarily. Li Hongzhang sat on the chair and thought: It seems that when he is really old, the world will be theirs. If the Chinese nation wants to become stronger, it must be under the leadership of people like him. But the current emperor and What should the Queen Mother do? Li Hongzhang sighed and let them solve it themselves. As long as he can make this disaster-ridden country stronger, he will be a hero for the ages. Li Zhenhua returned to Dongying again. The whole Dongying is changing at a rapid pace. Urban construction has begun to take shape. All work in the newly built city is easy to do. In addition, Lin Zhiming is very capable. The work here has gone from simple investment to profitable. The drilling team is working intensively and several wells have been drilled. The refinery is working hard to produce various refined oil products, which are being continuously shipped to various places. The current export volume is increasing every month, and the money is constantly flowing in. Because of the previous construction experience in Fangcheng, the current construction is first. After planning and layout, full demonstration was carried out, and finally the construction started. The construction of Oil City was much faster than the construction of Fangcheng, and the layout was reasonable. Some of Li Zhenhua's new concepts were added to it, which were environmental protection issues. Although most people don't understand it, it still needs to be implemented resolutely. Dormitory buildings have been built, as well as civilian facilities such as commercial central hospitals, school banks, post offices, etc., especially a building dedicated to fire protection. That's something that cities in China don't have. We deal with oil products every day, which are flammable and explosive things. It's impossible without firefighting facilities. The boys there are the best among the best, and their daily training is even harder. They have to climb the climbing model of the building in the yard dozens of times every day. Their actions are measured in seconds. During the day, if the alarm is given, the fire truck can be out in three minutes. At night, it only takes five or six minutes. That¡¯s it. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 183 Li Zhongtang (3) (Text) Text Chapter 184 A new atmosphere in Dongying Chapter 184: There is a new scene in Dongying. Many workers¡¯ families have already arrived. We cannot let them live in simple houses. Although their houses are smaller now, they are houses of more than ten square meters or twenty or thirty corns. It¡¯s up to you. Depending on the population, some will be larger, some will be smaller, and the best is a two-bedroom house of 70 square meters, which is the residence for those senior technical personnel. This is the maximum capacity of sohub. This winter, people will no longer have to live in simple houses for playing base. Those single workers still had eight people in a dormitory with bunks, a writing desk and eight cabinets. The house where they played bases has become a history. Most of the workers' spare time is spent on studying. Today's spare time life is still very simple. If not, we have to wait until later. A new port was built in Laizhou Bay. A long sand control embankment blocked the sediment brought by the Yellow River to the north so that 5,000-ton ships could freely enter. The refined oil produced was transported to various places from here. . As long as your car is sold wherever your refined oil is sold, you must also take care of some candles and kerosene for civilian use and transport them to all parts of the country as quickly as possible so that ordinary people can also get some "light". Moreover, those kerosene and kerosene The price of candles is very low. It is something that ordinary people use on a daily basis. We cannot let their prices go up. If we are rich, then we can let the poor people have as much good things as possible. b A large area of ??land was reclaimed in Fangcheng and a tractor was produced specifically for this place. On the surface, it looks like some agricultural machinery, but as Li Zhenhua, what he values ????is the track and chassis of the tractor. Later, it will be used to produce the power and chassis of tanks. Having discovered this thing that appeared in the middle and late stages of World War I, we need to start preparing now. After a few years of hard work, we can reach a relatively high level. Thanks to the tractor, the working efficiency has been greatly improved. The large areas of cotton and white flowers are growing gratifyingly. Corn and soybeans are also growing very well. Crops have never been planted here before. This season has grown very well. Last year's wheat season has been a bumper harvest here. People are already eating white flour grown by themselves. The workers and soldiers in the north are very happy. After all, they are not used to eating rice all the time. The three thousand acres of land in those farms are also very clearly divided into a regiment-level unit. Combat troops can come here to do some household chores. They are also provided with a large amount of agricultural products, grains, oils, non-staple food, meat, etc. Soldiers are all farmers and it doesn't matter if they do some farm work. Due to their status, they will not look at the problem from a strategic level, but they can also be regarded as a kind of adjustment. In addition, although it is close to the sea, it is actually not that convenient for warships to come in. Although on the surface there is not that much firepower on the shore, as long as there is a war, all kinds of mines can be planted here to block the entire Laizhou Bay. To use a later saying, it is "If you don't see the enemy, you won't be killed" because here there is relatively no fear of being hit by enemy ship artillery fire. bThis will be our own chemical industry base in the future. Although it is not far from Beijing and Tianjin, a Yellow River separates the two places. We have already asked the Railway Construction Corporation to design a bridge and it will be much faster to cross the river. The construction of a bridge was on the agenda last year. After survey, design and intense construction, several large bridge piers have now been erected and will be completed next winter. This is the first reinforced concrete bridge on the Yellow River. It is located in the south of Lijin County. Considering that shipping will be carried out on the Yellow River in the future, it was built closer to the inside. During the construction of the bridge, the Lijin County Government worked hard. It was very good. They deployed a lot of manpower and also made great efforts in some logistics supplies. This made Li Zhenhua and Lin Zhiming very happy. They immediately deleted the two words in front of his acting magistrate and made him an official official. The county magistrate, but here in Dongying, the county magistrate has no rank. If he doesn't do well, he will be taken down immediately. This makes the county magistrates work hard with all their energy. The construction team trained by this bridge became China's first professional bridge construction team. After that, they had more and better connections with the Railway Corporation. They later trained a large number of bridge construction experts. They not only became famous in China. In the future, it will also be a first-class construction team in the world. The above is not the main thing. The main thing is that the 40,000 troops will be stationed and trained here. In the future, a large amount of wheat and cotton will be produced here to provide a large amount of food and cotton for various places. When the military is busy, production must be carried out when the military is not busy. These are the two major tasks of the military. Two years later, there was a war. Li Zhenhua told them that soldiers are used to defend the country. Now we here must first develop our skills and be prepared to defend the country. But for senior generals, there are some things that must be explained clearly to them. You can¡¯t just stop at practice, you have to be prepared to fight a big battle.?? Mental preparation for hard work. What the veterans didn't say about the recruits is actually that most of the recruits being recruited now have some education and they all come from poor backgrounds. After they entered the army, although the training was a little harder, in the end their lives were much better than before. In the past, they couldn't eat enough every day. Now, Not only can I have a full meal, but I can also eat quite well. I can eat meat and fresh vegetables almost every day. In addition, rice and white flour are things that ordinary people don't dare to think about, but they are enough to eat. You can also get a salary of two silver dollars every month. You don¡¯t have to buy anything. Some of the silver dollars are sent back to their hometown intact. This makes the family members very happy. They talk about Dongying¡¯s happiness to everyone they meet. Hua Group Company is so good and I urge other people¡¯s children to go there. The daily time schedule here is very tight. Every morning at six o'clock, as soon as the wake-up bugle sounds, the soldiers get up from the bed and run to the playground to prepare for the exercise. After completing the prescribed long-distance running, they come back to have breakfast. In the morning, they do physical training such as push-ups, sit-ups and other exercises. Military training is also being conducted intensively on the three major infantry techniques of shooting, bombing and assassination. There is also study every week, lunch at noon, productive labor and cultural studies in the afternoon, and study and training after dinner. The training in the evening is night combat training. Their studies are vocational studies. Artillerymen have to conduct professional studies. Engineers have their own professional courses. The divisions within the army are very detailed. Each class also has firepower team, bombardment team, sniper and assault team. Recruits came in batches. They first entered the recruit team to study, and then were separated into various grassroots companies to start their military life. Internally, they were soldiers, but externally they said that they were migrant workers. Their jobs included security and farming. , driving, building roads, etc. When I write home, I only talk about work and not about military matters. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 184 A new atmosphere in Dongying (text) Text Chapter 185 Strong Branches and Weak Trunks Chapter 185: Strong Branches and Weak Trunks After a period of training, it is time to conduct real drills. The artillerymen went to the beach to conduct live fire firing of new imitation Krupp 150 cannons, 105 cannons, 85 cannons, and mortars. Various artillery units are conducting shooting training at different distances, including targets on shore and targets at sea. The wheels of those heavy guns are all made of solid rubber tires, which are much lighter than Western steel wheels. Wheels like that would leave deep marks, but rubber tires would not be like that and were much lighter. Most of the power of the new cannons was towed by cars instead of horses like in Western countries and the Qing government. The artillery is not only carrying out precision strikes. A new tactic has emerged, that is, "barrage advance." The artillery staff and grassroots commanders have formulated detailed strike patterns, which requires all artillery to be coordinated. . The imaginary enemy of the infantry is the neighbor to the east. Rifles, grenades, bayonets, machine guns, and mortars are all coming to greet them. Those grenades and mortars were the likes of which they had never seen before, and they would be unbearable once they were used against them. The Western devils are afraid of them, and the Japanese devils are equally afraid of them. Although they are conducting assassination training, the consistent requirement from top to bottom is that they cannot engage in white-knuckle combat with the enemy unless absolutely necessary and must use bullets and cannonballs to eliminate them. Each unit has its own role model, which is its own top training officer. They now have role models around them to learn from. All officers and soldiers have launched a training model of comparing, learning, catching up, surpassing and helping. hub In order to raise people¡¯s awareness of hatred towards the Japanese army, they also specially invited some civilians who had been injured by the Japanese army to come to the army and let them talk about the ferocious and brutal crimes of the Japanese army. They looked at the pain of their injuries and the sadness of losing their loved ones. Listening to their stories made the new and old soldiers have great hatred for the Japanese. When the time comes that the soldiers on the battlefield will have no mercy on them. Party workers have also begun their work. Their grassroots personnel are called instructors. They are responsible for assisting military chiefs in managing the troops and paying attention to the ideological education of soldiers. They often use world current events, Chinese history and some war examples to educate people. Educate and inspire the soldiers who have been educated in this way. Once they arrive on the battlefield, they will definitely not be fighting a confused battle. They are like those soldiers who are training for other units. Once those soldiers are exposed to new things, you can use the original methods. If you manage them, they will definitely resent it. After arranging the work in Dongying, Li Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief. Let's leave the work in the north as it is. He still had to go to the south. Soon it was winter. Zhang Zhidong received a telegram saying that the court had approved the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway project. Zhan Tianyou has sent more than a dozen engineering teams to conduct surveys along the line. At the same time, the governors and governors of Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangdong are also highly motivated because they have seen Guangdong and Guangxi. In Yunnan, people's lives have begun to change with the help of the railway, and local finances have increased their income, not to mention that they don't have to take out the money themselves. b. After mobilizing businessmen to take money, they can have income themselves. Many officials have used their private money to invest in railway construction. The investment now will have high returns in the future. The northern end starts from Beijing and goes along the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain to Zhengzhou, and then goes straight south to Hankou, south of the Yangtze River, through the lake areas of Hubei and some places in Hunan, and then to Changsha, then goes directly south along the Xiangjiang River to Guangzhou. This time, the construction was started in multiple places at the same time. The Hebei section started from the Lugou Bridge to the south, and then split from Dingzhou to the south and north. The Henan section first designed a bridge over the Yellow River, and then went south from the Yellow River to Hankou, where it continued to the north. Wuchang is being built from north to south. As for the bridge over the Yangtze River, let's wait until its own technology develops. Construction has also started in Changsha, starting at both ends. Guangzhou will go all the way north. The rails will be laid from Guangzhou all the way to the north to complete. Trial operation began on one section and a telegraph and telephone line were completed at the same time. Zhan Tianyou has already gone to Hankou to take charge. Anyway, he is restless. He wants to summon all the governors and governors along the route to hold a meeting in Hankou. After hearing this, Li Zhenhua agreed, and he jointly issued a message in his and Zhan Tianyou's name. In fact, the notice was only an invitation. The word "notice" was not fashionable at that time. It was agreed that in ten days' time, the governors and governors along the route would be invited to hold a meeting in Hankou. The main content of the meeting is how to speed up construction and how to cooperate with each other. It can¡¯t be done without a meeting. There are many things that can¡¯t be said without talking about them, so they must be talked about together with everyone. But Li Zhenhua soon discovered a problem. It was not easy for governors and governors to come for meetings. First, there was no precedent for this. Second, without an imperial edict from the court, these frontier officials could not leave their residences privately. But everyoneThe performance of the governors who received the notice made Li Zhenhua extremely happy, and no governor could not express his gratitude. The governor of Guangdong can come. He has the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who is keeping an eye on him. He said that he can come as soon as he comes. Hunan and Hubei are no problem. They come to the governor of Lianghu to handle matters. Then there is the governor of Henan. He just said to Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili. After a while, he could come. Now Hebei is Zhili, but Lao Li can't come. Not only is his place important, but there is also the possibility that the couple will come to him at some point, so he called back and said he couldn't come, but he also wanted to He wanted to build his own two railways, one from Tianjin to Beijing and the other from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan. He just revealed this idea to Li Zhenhua, but just waited until Li Zhenhua arrived in the north to discuss the matter with him. "Anyway, none of these governors can't say anything. They didn't take the court's words seriously at all. Only then did Li Zhenhua understand why some people said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there were "strong branches and weak trunks." The imperial edict of the imperial court could not be fully implemented. The most typical example was when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing. The imperial edict asked soldiers from all over the country to come to Beijing to serve the king. However, the southeast region formulated a "Southeast Mutual Protection" and refused to implement it. Li Hongzhang, who was the governor of Liangjiang at that time, once said: "This is a disorderly order and is not feasible." That is to say, the orders of the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu at that time were wrong and we cannot implement them. As a result, the provinces in the southern coastal areas did not send troops to the north at all, and the King allowed the Eight-Nation Allied Forces to successfully enter Beijing and signed the Xinchou Treaty with them, which was humiliating and degrading the country. The compensation to the Eight-Nation Allied Forces reached more than 400 million taels of silver. The excuse of the governors and governors of the South at that time was: Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu's attitude towards the Boxer Rebellion. At first they ignored the Boxer Rebellion, then they took advantage of it, and then they suppressed it. As a result, the Boxer Rebellion's slogans were also changing. They changed from "anti-Qing and destroying foreign countries" to "supporting Qing and destroying foreign countries". As a result, the peasant brothers in the north died at the hands of the Qing army at first, then by the guns of the foreigners, and finally they were encircled and suppressed by the joint attacks of the foreigners and the Qing army. The Boxer Rebellion suffered heavy casualties against the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the defense battles of Tianjin and Beijing. It can be said that countless soldiers died under the gunfire of foreigners for the benefit of the nation. Of course, later generations of the Boxer Rebellion have mixed praise and criticism for them, but they have different opinions on them. Foreign invaders are all good. They did not become traitors and did not help foreigners to bully the Chinese. This is their greatest advantage. No matter how future generations evaluate them, this is due to historical reasons and we do not care about them. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 185: Strong Branches and Weak Trunks (Text) Text Chapter 186 I also want to "lock the river with turtles and snakes" Chapter also thought about "turtles and snakes locking the river" Hearing that the governors from all over the country were going to Hankou, Li Zhenhua also hurried to Hankou. As soon as he saw Zhan Tianyou, he specially told him to take good care of his health and never to lose weight because of work. He was exhausted, but Zhan Tianyou, who was dedicated to completing China's railway construction, always used the excuse of being busy at work to shirk the situation. After hearing this, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head. However, he gave orders to the staff and guards around Zhan Tianyou to pay attention to Zhan Tianyou's body, to provide him with proper nutrition, and to check his body regularly every six months. The inspection results must be reported to yourself. Li Zhenhua also deliberately took the "lady route" and asked Zhan Tianyou's wife to follow him and take care of him at any time. He was a little embarrassed to see Li Zhenhua caring about him so much. He said to Li Zhenhua: "General, I must repair our north-south artery and work hard to connect our north and south. Then I will listen to you and start to rest immediately." "Li Zhenhua felt that he was too tired and had nothing to do today, so he asked him to take a yacht to the Yangtze River to have some fun. In fact, he wanted to see how to build a bridge on the Yangtze River. Zhan Tianyou and him The two of them had a clear understanding of each other. They first boarded a yacht on the Yangtze River and walked on the river. Then they landed at the former site of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang. hub Several people were very moved at the old site of the Yellow Crane Tower. Although Li Zhenhua is not particularly interested in this history, this Yellow Crane Tower is the famous Zhan Tianyou, but he is very aware of this. This building was first built in the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. (AD 223) However, wars and fires were frequent and the Yellow Crane Tower was built and abandoned many times. The last "Qing Tower" was built in the seventh year of Tongzhi (AD) and destroyed in the tenth year of Guangxu (AD 4). If you want to build a bridge now, you have to build it from Snake Mountain here, which will take up the old site here. If you want to build this building again in the future, you will have to choose an address from the side. The address of the bridge should be from Snake Mountain here to Turtle Mountain on the opposite side. This is a sentence in the poem by a great man of later generations: "Turtles and snakes lock the river." The two of them just looked at Li Zhenhua and said to Zhan Tianyou: "It seems that the future construction of this building is also your brother's business." Zhan Tianyou said: "It would be great if I could have this blessing. I am not good at repairing this." When the time comes, I will choose another person who can do it. But I must build this bridge in my lifetime. Now we can only use the ferry." They went to Zhang Zhidong together and Zhang Zhidong received him warmly. The two of them expressed their gratitude to him for being able to facilitate this matter. Li Zhenhua expressed his gratitude to Zhang Zhidong and said: "Don't thank me for this matter. This is the need of our country and the needs of the people in the future. Look at the countries in Thailand and Western countries who didn't start by building railways first." As we become more developed, we are also learning from them. Sohubom" After several people talked about the railway for a while, Zhang Zhidong turned the topic to the training of new troops. Li Zhenhua clearly remembered that although the new army organized by Zhang Zhidong was not as large in number and combat effectiveness as Yuan Shikai's New Army in the Six Beiyang Towns, Zhang Zhidong's new army was also very distinctive. His new army was firstly more educated and secondly. We don't want those Bingyouzi and the like. Therefore, Wuchang became the most important place for rebellion during the "Xinhai Movement" against the Qing Dynasty. This was something Zhang Zhidong did not expect at the time. He also asked Li Zhenhua for an instructor. He asked Li Zhenhua to help him train a new army and provide the necessary weapons. Li Zhenhua was very happy and immediately agreed. Not all of the new troops who came to Zhang Zhidong became his own. So Li Zhenhua immediately agreed to him. A few days later, the governors and governors from the south and north all arrived. This was something Li Zhenhua didn't expect. He originally thought that he could only come partially, but he didn't expect that all of them would come. Only Lao Li didn't arrive. It seemed that he didn't arrive this time. The invitation satisfied everyone, and it also showed that these governors also wanted their country to become stronger. Zhan Tianyou met them one by one as the chief engineer. On the day of the meeting, Li Zhenhua and Zhang Zhidong were both present. Everyone first asked Ni Wenwei, the governor of Guangdong, to introduce to everyone the construction and operation of the railway from Guangzhou to Nanning. Ni Wenwei was very happy that everyone praised him. I have introduced to you in detail the situation since the railway began operation. First, it has made it more convenient for the common people, and their income has also increased. In the future, it will be quite fast to transport soldiers. This greatly increased the interest of the governors and governors and expressed their strong support. Then Li Zhenhua invited everyone to get together on the yacht. Both his consort and Princess came forward. He just told everyone that it is not easy to collect the money. I will not delegate the use rights. Please forgive me and don't let it happen again to Kang Youcai, the registered prefect of Guangxi. Something happened. These governors and governors all know this. They also hate those people who can't treat themselves badly after the railway is repaired. Besides, you haven't seen the money yet. You made a move down there first. If you don't kill me, who do you want to kill? That's right. Gonna chop it downhe. So all the governors and governors happily agreed to this. Furthermore, the governors and governors also agreed to let them actively cooperate and speed up the progress of the project, because in the future, as long as the operation starts, their income will also increase. The operation will be effective one day earlier, so they also unanimously agreed and said that after returning, It is necessary to increase cooperation in work and speed up work progress as much as possible. Finally, there is the issue of land occupation. Farmers mainly use land. When their land is occupied, people's lives become a problem. Li Zhenhua proposed a new method based on his experience in Fangcheng. That is, whose land is occupied, it is not only economically important. The governors and governors heard that this was a good thing, otherwise those people wouldn't go to the government every day to cause trouble. There is another thing, that is, the problem of living people, so to speak, is the issue of cemeteries. As for Li Zhenhua, he does not care about these. However, people's traditional customs and habits for many years must also be dealt with, so as not to cause resistance among the people, and people must move the cemeteries. Compensation should be done to the people as much as possible. After such work, the governors and governors unified their thinking and expressed their determination to do their jobs well. At the same time, they also asked Li Zhenhua to consider helping to develop some industries on their territory in the future. Li Zhenhua happily agreed and they were all very happy. Xingdi returned to the railway construction project and started construction at the same time. Due to the strong support of local officials, the progress was significantly accelerated. Chapter The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty also wants to "lock the river with turtles and snakes" (text) Text Chapter 187 Don¡¯t just want to make money Chapter 187 Don¡¯t just think about making money. Speaking of fund-raising, since the court has clearly expressed its approval for the construction of the Lu-Guangzhou Railway, newspapers and media in various places have also publicly reported on it. At once, the whole country knew about these things, and various places organized organizations one after another. The most active consortiums in investing are the consortiums in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The two provinces have pooled together 50 million silver dollars. The Shanxi banknote industry group has also actively invested in it. They have also invested huge sums of more than 40 million yuan. Except for some remote provinces where the response was slower, the silver dollar was launched in other places. sohubom Sheng Xuanhuai and Shen Baoxiang also ran to Hankou. Sheng Xuanhuai said to Li Zhenhua: "There has never been such a large-scale action in the general's country. It is really the rich who have money and the strength to contribute. This is really what the people want." "This is a good idea. After the start, our people will be more united, and our railway construction will make great progress in the next ten years," Li Zhenhua said happily. "A few years ago, when I set up the Shanghai Shipbuilding Bureau, I was much less resourceful than you are now." "At this time, the conditions were not yet mature, and people had less money. There will be more in the future." Shen Baoxiang was also happy. He said: "I didn't expect that people would be so enthusiastic about this railway construction. Even our Youth Gang also invested some shares. Our life has made great progress compared with before. It used to be just thinking about how to maintain it. Now it can't be done. It turns out that those who We have stopped doing all the things that were not on the table. Even the old man is thinking about how to make money so that everyone can live a better life. hub "Not only the railway but inland shipping is also a very profitable industry. "Sheng Xuanhuai said with emotion. "Yes, the profits of our inland shipping on the Yangtze River are also so high. Now that we have only been operating for a few months, our popularity has greatly increased. Even the daily passenger and cargo transportation tasks cannot be completed. I came here this time. It's just that the boats you asked for are obviously not enough. Li Zhenhua said: "Just wait a few more days. The new ship will be built soon. As soon as it is built, it will be given to you." But there is another thing: you need to build hotels and restaurants near the docks in various places so that the guests can have a place to stay when they arrive. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient if people get off the ship in the middle of the night and they have to go everywhere to find an inn. It's not safe either. It would be much more convenient if there was a hotel. In a word, you have to think more about what your customers need and just do whatever you want, and you'll make money. " Shen Baoxiang said: "Okay, I will have people start preparing to identify the land immediately and start construction immediately. " "The level of this hotel should not be too high. It should take care of people from all walks of life. It can be divided into different levels within the hotel. Some can be higher, but it should still cater to the general public. b" Sheng Xuanhuai said. "Okay, I've written it all down. " "What's going on with Americans' Qichang now? " "The Americans' Qichang and the British's Yihe are obviously no longer good. Most of their ships should be repaired. In addition, they are too dark and their services are not good. People are very disgusted with them. Their business has been declining. Their business has been declining. The freight rates are set very low now. They can only pick up some of our remaining work and do it. Now they can only maintain capital and operate. " "Our freight rates will continue to drop and then be set at a reasonable price so that ordinary people can afford it. We are a service industry and cannot fully consider making money. " Shen Baoxiang didn't expect Li Zhenhua to say this. He thought about it and said, "Brother, aren't we doing this inland shipping on the Yangtze River just to make money? What is it called if you don¡¯t make money? " Li Zhenhua said to him earnestly: "We are all Chinese. When others bullied us before, we all suffered. Now our lives are better. We cannot forget that there are still some brothers who are suffering. We must find ways to help them. We must deal with it. The important thing is that foreigners should find ways to make their own money, and should not just focus on the domestic market. From now on, we should let the domestic routes go and let those small households make money. We should look at the foreign market. " "Well, the general has a long-term view. Just follow the general's advice so that everyone can compete fairly. If you can't manage well, you will be doomed. You can't resent others. " "If you start in other new industries, you will still make a lot of money. If others follow you, you will always make a lot of money. " Shen Baoxiang said happily: "By the way, let's continue to be the leader and let us lead everyone to live a good life together. " "Brother Shen told people not to just think about making money, but also to educate their children well so that they all go to school to learn more knowledge and skills. In the future, they will be better than us. Even we people have to work hard to learn. Don¡¯t you see that all our positions require educated people? " "Thank you so much, brother.Listening to what you said has taught me a lot. " Several people walked towards the pier in Hankou. They wanted to take a look at the situation of their business here. They let their subordinates move freely. However, the two of them walked towards the pier. No one knew them, and no one paid attention to them. A few of them were walking and talking, and they slowly walked to the pier. Just in the distance, they saw their boat coming from the downstream and slowly docking. The crew skillfully tied the cables and set up the gangplank for the guests. There were so many people on the shore that it was very crowded. A sister-in-law who was holding a child was carrying a bag in one hand. Next to her, there was a seven or eight-year-old child who was holding her clothes tightly. The woman walked away with the crowd. It was faster, but the child was accidentally knocked down and started crying. The sister-in-law had to stop and use one hand to help her child. But more people came out from behind. When Li Zhenhua saw it, he rushed forward and stopped him. He grabbed the child out in front of the crowd. He picked up the child and coaxed him while walking out with the crowd. But at this time something happened again. The sister-in-law was in a hurry to leave and ran into someone who looked like a young master. As soon as the man saw the sister-in-law, he playfully started making dirty jokes. Li Zhenhua glared at him fiercely and stood behind the sister-in-law. He wanted the sister-in-law to leave first, but the evil young man stopped and shouted. He shouted: "Come here, throw this ungrateful thing into the river. He dares to block me." When a guard saw it, he immediately stood in front of Li Zhenhua. He wanted to protect his general. Li Zhenhua's face had changed. He put the child down and pulled the soldier behind him. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 187: You can¡¯t just make money (text). Text Chapter 188 I will play with you Chapter I'll just play with you. At this time, Li Zhenhua came forward. He stretched out his hand and tried to grab Li Zhenhua's chest. He was still cursing in his mouth: "Good boy, you want to stand in the way, right? I " Before he finished speaking, a guard had already raised his hand and slapped him in the face. There was a "pop" sound. The evil young man had been slapped on the face and there were several fingerprints on his face. b When the boy saw it, he was furious. Before he could take action, a group of people behind him had already rushed up to attack Li Zhenhua and the others. However, although the opponent had many people, they would not take advantage of Li Zhenhua. This was not okay when he saw this. It's really not good if these people don't teach them a lesson. He took action immediately. His movements were not big and there were no tricks. They were just grappling techniques. Those thugs immediately fell to the ground. One by one, they clasped their hands and covered their feet, crying for father and mother. got up. The soldiers were displeased and kicked them one by one. Li Zhenhua waved his hand to stop the soldiers, and then the soldiers stopped. The gang of boys were crying on the ground. Several more big men came next to them. It turned out that they were here to pick up the boy. Seeing that their master was angry, they came over immediately. The leading man asked: "Who did this?" At the same time, his eyes were fixed on Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua stopped the guards who were about to rush forward and the people from the Qing Gang. At the same time, he used his eyes to signal his arriving guards and Shen Baoxiang and others who had just come up not to do anything. He calmly said Asked: "What's wrong? I hit the person. What do you want to do? Sohubom" "It's not okay to hit people casually. You don't know whose territory this is. You injured our young master and we can't let you go." ¡± said the leader, a man in his twenties. Some people nearby were also cheering, but the big man said: "Don't get involved in things that are not yours here." He then said to Li Zhenhua: "Hero, do it and let me learn your skills." Li Zhenhua saw this. He looked upright, but he was not a particularly arrogant and unreasonable person. He developed a liking for this big man in his heart, so he said to him politely: "Okay, then I will play with you." The man clasped his fists and saluted first. : "You're a good man, I won't be polite." Then he rushed over with a punch. The punch was so powerful that it already made a fuss. Li Zhenhua dodged and dodged without confronting him. He had already seen that this person was not a gangster. His kung fu was very solid and he had no intention of hurting him, but the man turned around quickly and punched him again. Li Zhenhua dodged again, but this time he gave him an elbow hammer and hit him on the ribs. He gritted his teeth and used his legs to sweep towards Li Zhenhua's lower body. Li Zhenhua jumped up and dodged. When Li Zhenhua thought about not playing with him, he had to take him down quickly, but he couldn't hurt him yet. He came up with a move in his mind. He stepped forward and kicked the man in the side. The man saw that he had to use his hands to catch him. Li Zhenhua formed a cross to block Li Zhenhua's legs. When he saw it, Li Zhenhua retracted his legs halfway, stepped behind him, raised his foot and kicked him in the crook of his legs. The man had no choice but to kneel on the ground. sohubom saw the man's face turn red, his hands clasped into fists, and he said, "Thank you so much for your mercy, good man." He stood up and left. When Li Zhenhua saw that this person was quite interesting, he immediately winked at a guard and the guard immediately followed him. The gangsters next to him were also dumbfounded. If this person couldn't do it, none of them would be able to do it. They didn't dare to make any more noises and dispersed. The big men behind him lifted up the bad boy and wanted to leave. Li Zhenhua said to them: "Don't do it first." Let's go and wait a moment." At this time, Shen Baoxiang could see that someone of his own was teasing him. He immediately asked one of his people to call the sub-rudder here. After a while, the commander-in-chief came. Shen Baoxiang pointed at the man who looked like a young master and asked, "Who is this man?" Zhang Cai said to Shen Baoxiang, "This man is the son of a big salt merchant. He is a dandy and is often bullied in this area. What happened? Did he offend the chief rudder? " "He didn't offend me, but does it affect our business if he often makes troubles here? " Zhang Cai said: " I think he and We don't want to interfere with the river, so I don't care about him." "No, no one can make trouble on our dock. You can report it to the official. If it doesn't work, you have your own way to solve it." Zhang Cai said disapprovingly. He nodded and said, "Okay, just don't let them come from now on." Li Zhenhua frowned after hearing what he said and said to Shen Baoxiang, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let him deal with these people first." After that, Li Zhenhua asked Shen Baoxiang to leave and returned to the inn. Li Zhenhua said to Shen Baoxiang: "It seems that we need to strengthen management in this aspect." "Yes, it is inevitable that a fly will ruin the pot of soup." "Originally, I thought it would be fine to let your people manage it. Now it seemsIf the bank wants to carry out business management, it cannot be what it is. It turns out that Zhang Cai may be able to manage a gang, but he cannot manage an enterprise. "At this time, someone knocked on the door and Li Zhenhua said: "Come in." Bian Xiaolong was standing there. He was from the intelligence department. Just now, Li Zhenhua gave him a wink. After he came in, he said to Li Zhenhua: "I found out that person's name is Xu Qingshan. It turned out that he was a low-level officer from the local green camp and ran to the dock because he was dissatisfied with the bullying from above. Later, the salt merchant saw that he was good at martial arts and asked him to be his bodyguard. He was relatively upright and not very popular in his family, but the salt merchant couldn't bear to part with him. If you let him go, he will just be a living person. He has long been unwilling to stay in his house. He just can't stand the behavior of that evil young man. " "It seems that this person is pretty good. Let's find an opportunity to take him in." " " Now is the opportunity. If you knock him down, it will help him. He will be separated from the salt merchant. " "Then you go and take care of this matter. Give him travel expenses and let him go to Shanghai. Let Zhu Baosan arrange a position for him first and train him well before promoting him. " "OK. "Bian Xiaolong left. Someone knocked on the door again. A guard came in and brought a telegram to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua took it and saw that it was Li Hongzhang. He saw that Li Zhenhua had mobilized almost the entire country to start building the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway. He I was also excited. It turns out that he had repeatedly proposed to build a railway from Tianjin to Beijing, but it had never been approved. The main reason was that some ignorant ministers in the DPRK and China opposed it. They said that once the railway was repaired, it would be easier to transport soldiers. Tianjin is also the gateway to Beijing. Foreigners entering Beijing from Tianjin are typical of those who stop eating due to choking. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter I will play with you (text) Text Chapter 189 Going to Beijing along the railway line Chapter 189 Go to Beijing along the railway line. Now that the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway is under construction, he has also taken this opportunity to make concessions and asked for the construction of the railway from Tianjin to Beijing and the extension of the railway from Xugezhuang to Shanhaiguan. He also wants to adopt methods of attracting investment without having to take money from the court. Once, because of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, the Queen Mother and the Emperor also felt that it should be built, so his request was successfully approved. So Li Hongzhang sent a telegram to Li Zhenhua asking him to send technicians to Tianjin as soon as possible to start actual work. Great, Li Zhenhua sent people right away. Contact Zhan Tianyou and ask him to send people to Tianjin as soon as possible to build the railway from Tianjin to Beijing. It turns out that the railway from Tianjin to Beijing goes directly to Marco Polo Bridge, and the railway from Beijing to Hankou also goes to Marco Polo Bridge, otherwise it would be called the Lu-Han Railway. There are no railways in the urban area of ??Beijing. In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing. For convenience, they built a railway near the current Beijing Station. A simple railway was built leading to the Marco Polo Bridge, which is now Beijing Station. They dug a hole in the city wall at the Dongbian Gate and the train went in and out directly from there. Nowadays, people all know that the trains on the Beijing-Guangzhou Line and Beijing-Harbin Line come out of Beijing Station, first go east and then turn southwest to Fengtai. The Beijing-Guangzhou Line goes directly to the south, while to go to Tianjin, you have to go from Fengtai again. Going southeast to Tianjin, you will turn an "S" shape. This is caused by the historical reasons at that time. hub Only the current Beijing-Tianjin high-speed rail goes directly from South Station in the city to Tianjin. This is a big problem. For many years, there have been many twists and turns in the urban area of ??Beijing, making it difficult for trains to pick up speed. Now, as a latecomer, Li Zhenhua must solve this problem. We cannot let this waste of hundreds of years go on. Li Zhenhua told Zhan Tianyou that he must solve it. If you can't solve this problem, you have to take action yourself. The Tianjin-Luxury Railway was originally built in 1995 and is now being advanced. This is a good thing. The Beijing-Tianjin area is built on the plains. Once the earth roadbed is laid, stones can be laid, and then sleepers and rails can be laid. There are only some small bridges, so they are not needed. Zhan Tianyou can just go there in person and ask him to send a team that can work alone. The next day Li Zhenhua found Zhan Tianyou and told him about the situation. Zhan Tianyou was also very happy. He said: "How can there be a country whose capital does not have railways? This is really ridiculous. If we let this group of people manage China, we must let them." "It's not okay to bully others." "Then let's try to overthrow them as soon as possible and let us control the destiny of this country." "That would be great. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. I will go to Beijing in person." I¡¯m really worried about other people going there after setting the route. Hub¡± Li Zhenhua looked at Zhan Tianyou and said, ¡°I knew you had to go, so I¡¯ll go with you so that they don¡¯t look down on us.¡± At that time. After getting ready, Li Zhenhua calculated that it would be more comfortable to take the water route. He decided to take the water route to take care of Zhan Tianyou, but Zhan Tianyou disagreed. He insisted on taking the dry route because he had to meet with local engineering and technical personnel to pass through some places. After seeing what Zhan Tianyou said, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to agree to his request. Zhan Tianyou first sent a technical team to Tianjin to survey the route from Tianjin to Beijing. They took a waterway and took a ship to Shanghai. Then they went to Tianjin to meet Li Hongzhang and asked them to make specific arrangements for the general route. Li Zhenhua talked to them, and then Zhan Tianyou continued A meeting was held and the work in Hankou was handed over to capable assistants to manage. At this time, the work was busy until dark. Li Zhenhua saw that he had to wait until the next day before setting off. The next morning, a group of more than a dozen cars set off. There were three trucks pulling oil alone. There were only four people in their car, Li Zhenhua, Yaqi, Zhan Tianyou, and a driver. Yaqi had a baby, so she didn't have to come. But when the baby came, there was no milk. The doctors nursed it for a long time, but it didn't work. So the baby just gave up. Leave it to Wang Xin. Anyway, now Wang Xin needs someone to take care of him, so let's take care of him together. Within a few months, Yaqi's body quickly recovered and only gained some of the charm of a woman. Several people took turns driving and Zhan Tianyou said: "I'm really flattered to have the boss and his wife drive for me. This honor will be unprecedented." The three people laughed together. The roads in the mountainous areas in northern Hubei are difficult to walk, but once you reach Nanyang in Henan, it is much better. After arriving in Zhengzhou, the car is all on the plains. The bridge over the Yellow River has begun construction. Many migrant workers are busy there because it is late autumn. This year, due to the lack of rain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, there is not much water in the Yellow River. The river has begun to clear the silt and prepare for piling. Zhan Tianyou and Li Zhenhua said to the engineering and technical personnel here: "This is a century-old plan. We must pay attention to quality issues and also pay attention to safe production." Let foreigners see our jokes.¡± The young engineers said to the two of them: ¡°Please rest assured, two leaders, that we must work hard to ensure quality and never let foreigners see our jokes.¡± The car kept going north and soon entered Zhili territory and arrived at Zhengding (Shijiazhuang is still a small village now because in Chinese history Shijiazhuang was a "city pulled by trains". There are no trains there yet. It can only be a small "Shijiazhuang".) After stopping for a while, he still talked to people about the quality issues and safety construction issues and continued north to Baoding Prefecture. This is the location of Li Hongzhang's Zhili Governor's Palace. He spends most of his time in Tianjin now and rarely comes here. Since Lao Li is not here, they don't stop here. The car continues north and goes directly to the Marco Polo Bridge. Here, I took a look at the distance from Beijing to here. There are still dozens of miles in the urban area, which makes it very troublesome for those who want to travel. If you walk here, it will take a day and a half to follow the roads. Then you will almost reach Tianjin. As a station in a big city, It is obviously not possible. There can only be one stop here. It is red and special. It can also be used as a cargo station, while the passenger station must be inward. Fengtai is in front. Li Zhenhua saw that the Fengtai camp was here (at that time, the Qing army's garrison in Beijing was divided into two parts, one in Fengtai and the other in Tongzhou). None of the soldiers looked like soldiers. Li Zhenhua came to the camp and asked for a map of Beijing. The guards reported the names of Li Zhenhua and Yaqi. They immediately brought the map in a daze. Zhan Tianyou said: "This saves trouble. You can sign up for the map." "Bring it here." The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 189 Going to Beijing along the railway line (text) Text Chapter 190 Entering Beijing Chapter 190 Entering Beijing "An army like theirs can only be used to show off and scare the people. It will be over if they really go to the battlefield. At least you have to ask, but they just gave the map without asking anything." The few people ignored them and just continued to drive towards the city. As they walked, the two of them studied where it would be better to build the station. First, it is convenient for people to travel by train. Second, it is convenient for the transportation of goods by various businesses. Third, it is convenient for various places. Others don't know about the mobilization and use of the army, but Li Zhenhua knows it very clearly. During World War I and World War II, Germany used their convenient railway network to mobilize troops on the east and west lines back and forth, which amazed the whole world. A convenient railway network can increase the strength of the army by 80%, not to mention the fast and convenient transportation of materials. In his previous life, Li Zhenhua visited Beijing frequently, but the buildings there were all modern buildings. At this time, Beijing was basically a shadow of the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, the current Beijing was not called Beijing. After the Qing Dynasty established its capital here, it was based on the names of other Chinese dynasties. It is customary to call the capital, the city under the emperor's feet, Yingtianfu. The current name of Beijing is Yingtianfu. The local officials call it Yingtian Prefecture. For convenience, they have always called Beijing here. There are towering palaces, majestic temples, beautiful gardens, and spacious streets. These magnificent buildings were left over from the late Yuan Dynasty. King Zhu Di of Yan and the subsequent Qing government did not build any large-scale construction projects in this central area. b Beijing, a large city, was planned and designed by Liu Bingzhong, the founding hero of the Yuan Dynasty. Even the name of the country, Dayuan, was given by Liu Bingzhong after the meaning of "Great Qianyuan" in the Book of Changes, and was adopted by Kublai Khan. The invisible underground water supply and drainage facilities were designed by Guo Shoujing, a famous geographer and hydraulic scientist in the history of Yuandu Water Supervision. There are two main waterways in the city, one consisting of the Gaoliang River and the Tonghui River (canal). The first water transportation system is the palace water system composed of Jinshui River and Taiye Pool. Residents mainly use well water. There are also complete drainage facilities in the city, making the entire city clean and elegant. The intelligence office in Beijing had their own place. Because they needed to keep it secret, they did not let Li Zhenhua go to them. Instead, they arranged a place for him. They found a more spacious inn and asked Li Zhenhua to rest there. It was a small courtyard. The guards Protective measures were quickly put in place. Li Zhenhua and Zhan Tianyou conducted on-the-spot research and concluded that the stations in urban Beijing should be mainly for pedestrians and small freight. Passenger cars should be driven in and trucks should be parked outside. The military also uses them outside, such as Fengtai Station and Tongzhou Station. Just stand. The station is located outside the outer city so that it is convenient for ordinary people to travel. The future railway will lead in two directions, namely the future direction of Tianjin and the direction of Guangzhou. In this way, it will be farther south than the future line of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. In other words, Qianmen and Dongbianmen will be a straight line and built south of this straight line. station. booom happens to use the city wall as the barrier to the north of the station, which saves money for building the wall. However, considering future environmental issues, a 100-meter green belt is left there. This is also for safety reasons. In this way, both of them felt quite satisfied. Li Zhenhua said to Zhan Tianyou: "Just work hard and come up with the design plan. I will ask Yaqi to go to the place with the two of them." "I will hand over the design plan in two days. After I give it to you, it¡¯s your business.¡± Zhan Tianyou said with a smile. When he returned to his room, the people from the Beijing Intelligence Office were already waiting for him. They first reported to Li Zhenhua the situation of Ruan Xiaoer going to Japan to open a restaurant. Li Zhenhua said: "Don't be too shady. It's almost time to stop and make money." If it¡¯s enough, just sell out the main store and let the Japanese run it themselves and let Ruan Xiaoer only provide them with seasonings.¡± This is the fundamental reason why Ruan Xiaoer will let others occupy his main store in the future. If he didn't want to let him go, just relying on some Japanese gangsters wouldn't be able to drive him away. Then they talked about the situation of going to the UK. They went to the UK to take advantage of the power of the London underworld. They chose a smaller gang force. A dozen agents with high martial arts skills quickly dealt with the local gangsters. Then they gave them some drugs and asked them to sell them in the "red light" areas, so that those in the lower class would become addicted first and then develop into the middle class and then gradually into the upper class. At the same time, they used drugs to control a group of prostitutes and let them To promote drugs, they also allow them to collect intelligence on politics, military, science and technology, and economics. Those agents are very clever. They first give them low-purity drugs to prevent them from becoming addicted so quickly, and then slowly give them high-purity drugs. In fact, they are just useless people. Li Zhenhua expressed satisfaction with their work but asked them to pay attention to their own safety issues. After sending the intelligence personnel away, Li Zhenhua looked at the documents for a while and asked the navy toBuild a military port in South Asia on Hainan Island to facilitate control of the South China Sea. Li Zhenhua agreed that it would be most convenient for South Asia to control the South China Sea. There should be some investment there, but issues related to rubber cultivation in surrounding areas should be considered. This kind of tree known as the "weeping tree" in South America is the rubber tree. Rubber will be an important raw material for industry in the future. The current Fangcheng Automobile Factory uses rubber imported from Brazil, but China began to plant rubber trees in 1904. Only that year, Mr. Dao Anren purchased more than 8,000 Brazilian rubber seedlings from Singapore and Malaysia and introduced them to Fenghuang Mountain in Xincheng, Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province. In 1906, Mr. He Linshu introduced 4,000 rubber seedlings from Malaysia and planted them in Heshang Bay, Lehui (Qionghai), Hainan, and established Qiong'an Reclamation Co., Ltd. In 1911, Liu Jiesheng and others purchased 20,000 rubber seedlings from Singapore and began to build a large rubber planting garden for overseas Chinese in Hainan. Li Zhenhua wants to plant it now. He asked the following to notify the Fangcheng Navy and let them import a large number of saplings from Singapore or South America and Brazil for planting. This important industrial raw material will appear in their own place as soon as possible. But if there is something wrong with the international community, You won't be controlled by others. As long as the rubber tree survives after being planted, it will not die easily, so it needs to be promoted on a large scale. It must be planted in several southern provinces such as Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Sichuan, Fujian and other places. It must also be planted in Annan, Indonesia and other places. We need to plant a large area in the areas under our control. We must increase the yield and have more areas for our own use. There was nothing going on the next day, so Li Zhenhua and Yaqi decided to go for a walk on the street. At that time, the most prosperous place in Beijing was Dashilan (pronounced Dashilan) outside Qianmen, so they drove there. There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, but there are a lot of people riding sedans and rickshaws, but there are not many people riding cars and riding bicycles, let alone compared with Fangcheng Dongying, or compared with Shanghai and Tianjin. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 190 Entering Beijing (Text) Text Chapter 191 Gege became a car sales lady Chapter 191 Gege became a car sales lady. Zhan Tianyou was busy by himself. Li Zhenhua had nothing else to do. He decided to go to his car shop to take a look at his sales outlets. They were also on the street outside the front door. When they got there, they saw if it was quiet in front of the door. Li Zhenhua got out of the car and walked in. The decoration inside was okay, but there were a few foreigners and two Chinese looking at the car. Li Zhenhua walked over and first talked to the foreigners and asked them how they liked the car. They said they wanted to try it, but the seller only let them sit on it for a while and did not let them out. Li Zhenhua said to the guard Xu Bing: "Go inside and ask them to send someone to go out with them to try the car. Tell them if they don't buy it, I will If you want it, give them the money first." After a while, Xu Bing came back and handed the car keys to the foreigners. Yaqi followed them out to test the car. Li Zhenhua went to talk to the Chinese people and asked them about this. What do you think of this car? The two people said they were fine, but the money was not convenient. Li Zhenhua asked them if they could get a loan to buy a car. They said, "It would be much better if I could get a loan. I can pay it back soon." After hearing this, Li Zhenhua clicked. Then he asked them if it was convenient after buying the car. They said: "It's okay, but it's not convenient to refuel in the future because there are not many places to refuel and the road is too difficult." Li Zhenhua asked again: "There is something wrong with the car. How about the repair? " "It's okay, they'll fix it as soon as you drive it back." "What if it's broken on the road?" "We don't know about that." The reason why it is difficult to sell is that there are many foreigners. When the foreigners came back and saw how happy they all were, they knew that the transaction was completed. Those few people went to pay the money. A man who looked like a manager came over and said to Li Zhenhua: "Sir, could you please take a moment to speak." Li Zhenhua stretched out his hand to express his approval. The man entered his manager's office first and asked Li Zhenhua to sit down. He first poured a cup of tea for Li Zhenhua, then sat down and said to Li Zhenhua: "Excuse me, sir, what do you do?" How high-ranking is that?" Li Zhenhua said with a smile, "What do you think?" "I don't look like an official, a businessman, or a worker, so I can't tell what my job is." "You guessed it, sir. I am not a farmer, an industrialist, or a businessman, but I have something to do with it. You guessed it right. But if you don¡¯t have a prize, you want to treat me to dinner today.¡± ¡°Sir, what do you mean?¡± ¡°I helped you sell a car. "Shouldn't you treat me to dinner?" "Yes, I don't understand. If you don't work in this field, why can you talk better than our people?" "As the saying goes, bystanders know better. I'm watching you from the side. "The problem arises." "Sir, please tell me if you have any clever tips. I will thank you very much." "Thank you, I will tell you all." Call Dongfang. Today I want to make this friend of yours, Xiao Shunzi. You go to the restaurant and book a table for us. You can bring me paper and pen first. " Li Zhenhua looked at this man a little funny, but he still took them. She took out the pen and paper she carried with her and spoke to him seriously. First, we must highlight the speed, convenience, comfort and style of this car. Second, what should I do with the oil after buying a car? What about repairs? You have to think of the driver, regular maintenance and cleaning, etc. for your guests. Finally, if you hire a few beautiful female staff to recommend cars to you, the effect will be even better. Dongfang agreed with the first two, but he disagreed with the third. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Don't be afraid that if the number one in Bada Hutong comes, she will definitely sell more than others." "Isn't it possible?" "That's for sure. The girl has been introducing you for a long time, but you still have the nerve to refuse. Look, my wife just drove out for a run, and didn't those few people buy the car? In fact, when people enter your door, they want it. Those who bought a car stopped buying because they suddenly had new concerns. " After hearing Li Zhenhua say "my wife," Dongfang understood that there are not many women who can drive in this society, so they only have their own. The big boss's wife, Ge Ge, is the most famous, yes, that Ge Ge. It turns out that this is his big boss. He was startled when he came. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zhenhua, but Li Zhenhua hurriedly stopped him and said to him. : "We have a rule. When you see your boss, you should not kowtow. The most you can do is bow." Dongfang understood and said to Li Zhenhua: "Sir, please invite us to a restaurant to eat and let them resume their duties." Booking the best table depends on what you give us today.I also want to invite you to take the class. " Li Zhenhua said: "That's it for today. Just eat a little. You can sort out what I said and post it in the afternoon. Then ask the female employees to go to work. But let them train them first. It would be better if they can open the country. After they get familiar with it, let them go. They work in sales. " During the dinner, they talked a lot about business management methods. Many years later, when Dongfang became the top executive of Xinghua Group, he recalled the scene and said that it was really an enlightenment after hearing what the boss said. I thought it was Once a customer enters the door, he cannot be allowed to leave. However, the boss has a clever trick. He can attract people outside the door. Do you think the business will be bad? A lot happened in Xinghua Sales Company in Beijing very quickly. Big changes have been made. The service staff in front of the door have been replaced by some beautiful girls. They have also built some new gas stations and car repair stations in each urban area in the east, south, west and north. There are also people who can help scrub the cars and help. Train drivers and hire drivers on their behalf, and also write on the door: If the car you sell breaks down outside, you can send someone to repair it. The implementation of these few things has greatly increased sales in Beijing. Tianjin's sales are catching up with Shanghai's. Now even the girls in the Bada Hutong are proud to take cars when they go out. It would be very shameless for the guests to come to pick them up in sedan chairs, not to mention the businessmen, not to mention the officials. The dandies in Beijing are also proud of their cars when they go out to give gifts, visit and do errands, but this is a disaster for their subordinates. They can only run behind them, so on the streets of Beijing There were more and more cars. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 191 Gege became a car sales lady (text). Text Chapter 192 Economic Invasion Chapter 192 Economic Invasion When Dongfang saw that sales in Beijing were increasing, he immediately invited the sales manager from Tianjin to Beijing and entrusted all the boss¡¯s tips to the sales office in Tianjin to use the same method. Soon, Tianjin¡¯s car sales also began to grow rapidly. . At the same time, driven by cars, the sales volume of those bicycle shops has also increased, and there are gradually more bicycles on the streets. The men of those dandy boys also rode bicycles so that they did not have to work so hard to follow the car. Zhan Tianyou¡¯s work efficiency is really fast. He has already finished the plan in two days. Li Zhenhua looked at it carefully and the two discussed it for a while. It was completed. Now it¡¯s Yaqi and Li Zhenhua¡¯s business. When she got up the next morning, because she was going to the palace, Yaqi asked Li Zhenhua how to dress up today. Did he need to wear a wig and braids before entering the palace? Li Zhenhua said: "Forget it, I never like that kind of thing. I won't do it today. I think you should make it more casual today. Don't wear that cheongsam. Otherwise, how can you drive?" Yaqi immediately started to prepare. Because she had been with Li Zhenhua for many years, she was ready quickly like Li Zhenhua. Although she was already the mother of a child, she quickly regained her body shape. She still liked to drive out by herself. sohuboo After breakfast, Li Zhenhua went to the sales company to pick up two new cars. He was going to give gifts. It was the first time he met the Queen Mother and the Emperor and wanted to give something away. There was no point in anything else, so just give away a few cars. It was already eleven o'clock and people had probably dispersed. When the car arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City, the Ouchi guards stopped their group. As soon as Yaqi appeared in the car, they immediately let them go. However, the entourage was not allowed in. They were just allowed to go. The couple drove in and the couple drove in a car. A young eunuch in front of the door ran all the way in and reported to the chief supervisor Li Lianying that Yaqi Gege and his father-in-law Yunnan General Li Zhenhua were back. When the news came in layer by layer, Li Lianying hurriedly reported to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The Emperor was so happy that he actually ran out to greet Yaqi himself. When he saw Yaqi coming, he showed no sign and hurriedly said to the Emperor: "Good luck to the Emperor." "Then he bent his legs and saluted. But Emperor Guangxu didn't care about anything. He just said "No need" and went straight to Li Zhenhua. Although he had never seen him, he had seen the photo a long time ago. Emperor Guangxu went up and grabbed Li Zhenhua's hand: "Brother-in-law, I can see you." He pulled Li Zhenhua and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, the emperor even forgot about etiquette. He personally took a stool for Li Zhenhua and let him sit down. Then he said to the Queen Mother: "My father and brother-in-law are here." Cixi The Queen Mother saw that the emperor had not even cared about etiquette. In fact, she was also looking forward to the arrival of this Yunnan general. She couldn't say anything in front of outsiders, so she just said to him: "How are you on the way?" Li Zhenhua hated the etiquette of kneeling down in his heart. Along the way, I was thinking about how to deal with the two women. I didn't expect that the emperor would be so enthusiastic. The queen mother didn't say anything, so I just pretended to be stupid. So I immediately said to the queen mother: "Good luck to the queen mother, good luck to the emperor. booom, nothing happened on the way back to the queen mother. We drove here by ourselves." Yaqi also added to the Queen Mother, "Good luck, Lafayette." The Queen Mother asked, "What are you busy with recently?" Li Zhenhua said to the Queen Mother, "Nothing else but how to make money. It's about money." "Oh?" The Queen Mother was stunned. Why is this guy just thinking about making money? Then she would be able to relax her vigilance against him in the future and no longer have to worry about him having an army. So she asked: "Then what other ways have you found to make money recently?" "Last year I set up an inland shipping company. The results have been seen now. In addition, this year I want to build a railway from Beijing to Guangzhou. The southern railway is also under construction. "The Queen Mother knew something about these things, but she was not too clear. She asked again: "How about that? How much is it?" When Li Zhenhua heard that this was purely a financial issue, he decided to teach the two of them a lesson. Let's start with the inland waterway shipping. So he said: "Queen Mother, do you know the price of a ticket from the UK to our Shanghai?" The Queen Mother shook her head and expressed her ignorance. Li Zhenhua said: "Ten taels of silver." Li Zhenhua He asked Emperor Guangxu again: "Then do you know how much the original American Qichang Company's ferry ticket from Shanghai to Hankou was?" Emperor Guangxu also shook his head to express his ignorance. Li Zhenhua added: "Their price is seventy taels." This time. Undoubtedly, a bomb was thrown on the heads of these two women. The emperor stood up suddenly. What did the queen mother also open her mouth? The price of this ferry ticket is too disparate. It's actually ten times the price. On the surface, foreigners seem to be so polite, but why are their hearts so dark? . How far is it from England to Shanghai? The distance is more than tens of thousands of miles, so how far is it from Hankou to Shanghai? Li ?Hua Hua immediately turned the conversation to state affairs again: "Queen Mother, do you think those foreigners came to our country with cannons and giant ships. They defeated us. They did not occupy our land and only opened a few commercial ports. Do they have such intentions?" Okay? Either they are going to carry out economic aggression against us. "This is the first time I heard about economic aggression. The Queen Mother and the Emperor immediately concentrated their energy. They stopped talking about useless things. This is a capable person. He is not simple. He is a businessman and he knows more about military affairs and foreign affairs than those ministers, otherwise I would not have made him a general. So the Queen Mother asked: "You are mainly engaged in industry in the south and are good at using troops. Let me ask you whether our national strength has an advantage compared with the West?" "There is no advantage." "Why?" "We earn seven to eight dollars a year. Tens of millions of taels of silver, but we don¡¯t have enough money to spend. Think of the tiny UK. They are only as big as one of our provinces, but their national strength is not comparable to that of our country. They have the most powerful fleet in the world and their commercial trade. They are the first in the world, accounting for 40% of the world's manufacturing industry. Now their pound is the world's currency, which is beyond our comparison. "We are talking about Japan. Even a small country wants to plot against us. Their navy and army regard our Qing Dynasty as their first imaginary enemy. Their fleet is now stronger than our Beiyang Navy. In the future, once they fight our Beiyang at sea, The navy is no match for them, and the army cannot defeat them either." The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 192 Economic Invasion (Text) Text Chapter 193 Invite the Queen Mother to take a car Chapter 193 Inviting the Queen Mother to take a car "Don't look at the fact that Western countries have no territorial ambitions for us, but the Japanese in the east and Russia in the north are always thinking about our great rivers and mountains." "Damn it" the Queen Mother cursed Guangxu. The emperor was also on pins and needles here and looked at the time. The queen mother said: "Let the prince-in-law and princess eat together." She wanted Li Zhenhua and his wife to eat here. The table was set with all kinds of dishes and food quickly served. There were more than a hundred dishes. People came in one after another. It was really difficult to wait for so few people. I heard that there were dozens of imperial kitchens just for cooking. There were two to three hundred eunuchs, big and small. Li Zhenhua cursed in his heart. Isn't this bad? All kinds of dishes and rice came out very quickly. The table was a long row and the chopsticks used were also long and big chopsticks. Eating in the womb was very particular. The eunuchs tasted them first and then sent them to everyone in turn. In the mouth plate in front of the individual. It's just an honor to accompany the Queen Mother and the Emperor to eat. In fact, it's very painful. You can't really eat. It's just a symbolic expression. How dare you really eat? Yaqi knows that, but Li Zhenhua eats by himself. It's always fast, but he doesn't care about the wind and clouds that come up. He's finished eating very quickly. He doesn't care about others. Who of you didn't finish eating well? Naturally, he continues, but he has already put down his chopsticks. Hub Someone served him tea in the back and he drank it slowly. Then he simply continued to teach the old lady and his wife. While drinking tea, he talked. In order to deal with us, China and Japan, Emperor Meiji compressed his daily life. Every year, he squeezed out 400,000 yen from his palace living expenses to buy warships. The empress of Japan also took out all her beloved jewelry and donated it to the navy for construction. The actions of the Japanese emperor and his wife made the whole country admire them very much. Rich people are also donating money to the military. Forty percent of their national income is now spent on military expenditures. Their navy and army weapons have far surpassed ours. The Empress Dowager Cixi felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. Emperor Guangxu also looked ugly. When Yaqi saw the ugly faces of the two women, she gently pulled Li Zhenhua from below. Li Zhenhua was not a fool. Wouldn't he know this? He just took the opportunity to say what others dared not say. At first glance, there was no appetite at all, so the meal ended hastily. When Li Zhenhua saw it, he hurriedly took out the plan for the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and said to the Queen Mother: "The railway has begun construction and the Beijing station has been designed. Please take a look at it." The Queen Mother and the Emperor were not in the mood to watch this at this time. He said to Li Zhenhua: "I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about it some other time. I want to go back to the garden to rest. Let Yaqi go with me. booom" She wanted to be alone with Yaqi Talked. "Okay, then let Yaqi take you back first." "Okay." The Queen Mother agreed. They went out and came outside. The Queen Mother's Luan Yu had already prepared. Yaqi said to the Queen Mother: "It's not that I want you to go back." Should I send you away? Why do you want this? Let them go." The Queen Mother looked at Yaqi and said, "You don't need them to carry me back? You look like you are living a good life, right?" asked. "I'm fine. My brother-in-law is very kind to me. This is the car he gave you. I've prepared it for you and it's right there." Yaqi pointed to the car next to her. The Queen Mother looked along her hand and saw a car shining in the sun. Not to mention, the car looked really good-looking. The Queen Mother felt fresh in her heart. She walked over slowly. Yaqi opened the car door for her and asked the Queen Mother to sit down. When they got in, Yaqi's mouth was very sweet: "Queen Mother, please see that this car is better than a sedan. No bows, arrows, bullets, etc. can be shot in." The little girl first gave the Queen Mother a reassurance. Yaqi closed the door for the Queen Mother. She sat next to the Queen Mother and started the machine. The Queen Mother looked a little uncomfortable, but Yaqi had slowly started the car. The people in front of her immediately got out of the way. In order to reduce the Queen Mother's fear, Yaqi She first walked around in the yard and then asked the Queen Mother: "How do you think this car compares to your sedan?" The Queen Mother had slowly gotten used to it. She touched the seat with her hand and said, "It's very comfortable. The car is very fast and not bumpy." Is this produced by you yourself? " "Yes, this is a car specially made for you. If you are not satisfied, let him make a new one for you. One is for the emperor. "The two of them were talking in circles, which was really hard for the Queen Mother's entourage. They had to trot behind them and didn't dare to make a sound. Yaqi turned around twice and said, "How about we go back?" The Queen Mother nodded. Yaqi's car began to run outside. When it reached the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the cavalry were already ready. When the Queen Mother came out,When they arrived, they immediately ran forward to spread out the protective formation. The Queen Mother also realized that her people were still running behind her, so she said: "Slow down a little bit, don't be so childish." Qi stuck out her tongue and slowed down the car. The whole team walked forward slowly, but the big sedan in the middle turned into a car. The queen mother was really addicted to riding in it. At least it was much more comfortable than that sedan. And Yaqi's words were very useful. At least the bow and arrow couldn't be shot in. The Empress Dowager Cixi herself saw with her own eyes that the layer of glass was as thick as a finger, which was much safer. The view from inside is also very good. You can see things outside, but you can't see clearly what's inside from the outside. Yaqi's offensive continued. She said: "When the Queen of England goes on tour, she is often the president of the United States who rides in a car. They also go out to do errands in cars. "Nowadays, Americans are proud to have a "Great Wall" car from our Qing Dynasty." Yaqi returned to her garden and told the Queen Mother. Said: "In order to honor you, my concubine has specially built a special train for you. The special train has special toilets and washrooms for bedrooms, restaurants, conference rooms. From now on, if you want to go to the Northeast or somewhere, you can take the train. But it¡¯s a pity that we don¡¯t have a railway here, so no matter how good the special train is, it can¡¯t get in.¡± The Queen Mother said: ¡°A few years ago, Li Zhongtang built a railway for me in Sanhai, and I can sit there.¡± Yaqi is about to go. Said: "That won't work. The train I built for you is much faster than that. Even if you ride a fast horse, you can't catch up. And it's also very stable. You can put a bowl of water in it and it won't spill out." It will affect your ability to eat inside." Yaqi was trying every possible means to arouse the Queen Mother's interest. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 193 Inviting the Queen Mother to take a car (text) Text Chapter 194 Let the Emperor become addicted to driving Chapter 194: Let the Emperor also enjoy driving. Yaqi then said: "If you want to go to my place in the future, even though it is more than five thousand miles away, you will go by train. If you take a sedan, that is impossible. You have to go. It¡¯s been a long time since you¡¯ve been here for several months. If you take the train and arrive there in three days, I¡¯ll treat you to those fruits from the south.¡± A smile finally appeared on the Queen Mother¡¯s face: ¡°Girl, it¡¯s rare for you to have this. "Xiao Xin, how does that prince-in-law treat you?" She started talking about common things again. "He is very good to children and dotes on them in everything." "Why didn't you bring your children when you came here? People also like children when they are old." The maternal nature of the Empress Dowager Cixi came up and she again I started to care about Yaqi¡¯s children. "It's inconvenient for my husband and I to run around with our children every day. This time we came to the capital and we only decided on the way to the capital. The children were in Shanghai. We set out from Hankou to the capital and didn't go back." "You can rest assured that the children are only young. "The people below are very good to me and the children. I don't have to worry about the children." "As long as you are worthy." The Empress Dowager then started to ask about other things: "Er. "How much money does he have now?" "Don't tell me, he doesn't know how much money he has. Anyway, I heard him say that if Hu Xueyan is alive and he helps, he won't be able to survive." "Then he must have a boss." "Ten million?" "Anyway, many of them said that they will help you defeat the Japanese and bring all the nations to come to court." "This child is very energetic." The Queen Mother heard this from Yaqi's words. The consort is still devoted to himself. He puts the country first in his heart. It depends on how he deals with the Japanese. But the Japanese were repaired by him last time. Do they still dare to come? Could it be that Li Hongzhang let him He came to be a lobbyist, right? Li Hongzhang is an old fox, and he has done many things. The Queen Mother's suspicion came again. "But I doubt that this prince-in-law can really make money. If the governors and governors can be like him, why would it be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to raise a Beiyang navy and build a "garden"? Is there any need to worry? In just a few years, he can be compared to Hu Xueyan and Hu Dawei. The Queen Mother heard what they meant. If you want to make the country rich, you must first strengthen the army. Once you have strong soldiers, you can protect the rich country. No one of the two can do without the other. But where should we start if we want to make the country rich? Maybe they are eyeing the money they can spend to build their own "garden" again. "Oh, I don't want to see what the emperor and his consort are talking about." hub The conversation between the Emperor and Li Zhenhua went relatively smoothly. Li Zhenhua didn't shy away from speaking to him. He always went straight to the point. The Emperor was younger and could listen, unlike the Queen Mother who would make random guesses when something happened. Li Zhenhua first talked about the crisis. The Japanese and Western countries are all eyeing us, bent on getting money from the Qing Dynasty, while the Japanese want to occupy our territory. Secondly, there is no good way to deal with them in the future. It is just one way to strengthen the army, and strengthening the army without strong financial resources is not enough. A single Beiyang Navy has already stretched the entire court. If there are more fleets, more The army troops there (here I am not talking about the Qing army but the army with modern equipment and weapons) have not crushed a country. Therefore, if we want to strengthen our army, we must first consider enriching the country. To enrich the country, we must first build railways. Now that the railway issue has been opened, we must first build some factories and then encourage the people to do business. There is no industry, no wealth, no business, no living, no food. stable. These theories will be known to everyone in later generations, but what you are talking about here is something that has never been heard before. So it¡¯s useless to say anything, that is, the country must have money or not. When the emperor heard this, he nodded and said yes, but in practice it was not that simple. Managing an enterprise is different from managing a region. However, Li Zhenhua knew that the Qing government was not going to work because it was almost finished. Corruption and backwardness, corruption and bribery from the top to the grassroots. No matter how much money you throw in, it will be in vain. They are different from us. If we don't have a new and strict system, we will be the same as them. The emperor is not indifferent to Li Zhenhua's words, but his current position is just a decoration. There is a queen mother in charge of him. Below is the decadent government agency, which makes it impossible for him to have any room for development. He must be thorough. It will not work if he is not thorough. If it is not thorough, it will only leave a lot of problems that will be difficult to solve in the future. The emperor kept walking in his room. He was thinking about what Li Zhenhua said. Suddenly he felt that he had lost his temper and said to Li Zhenhua: "The room is too stuffy. Let's go to the back garden for a walk." " "Okay," Li Zhenhua said to him as soon as he saw that he was engrossed in thinking, "Your Majesty, we will?Get up to the back and walk around. " As soon as the two people left the Yangxin Hall, they saw the car parked there. The emperor immediately asked: "Is this produced by you? " "Yes, this is the Great Wall car produced by us. Now in the United States, they are all proud to have one of our Great Wall cars. " "Well, you have brought glory to our Qing Dynasty. It would be great if those Manchu nobles could have your ability. It's a pity that they only know how to play now. " The two of them walked to the car as they talked. Li Zhenhua opened the door and asked Emperor Guangxu to get in. Then he went to the other side, opened the door, sat in, and started the engine. The two of them started spinning in the yard for a while. Li Zhenhua said to Emperor Guangxu: "How are you doing? Also turn twice? " Guangxu was moved and said, "I don't know how. " "It's not difficult. Don't you see that Yaqi is also driving well?" " Li Zhenhua stopped the car and talked to Guangxu. This is the steering wheel. This is the gear lever. Here is the accelerator. This is used to control the speed. Here is the clutch. He talked to Guangxu first, then got out of the car and asked Guangxu to come down. The two changed positions with Guangxu. Under the command of Li Zhenhua, Bububu started to circle in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It didn't matter that he was happy, but it was a pain for the eunuchs, maids and guards below. They kept trotting behind the car. Li Zhenhua, who was following and panting, saw it and said to Emperor Guangxu: "Don't let them run away. " Guangxu smiled and waved his hand behind. The thugs stopped. The two continued to drive and talk in the car until they were full of fun. Guangxu said: "This thing is good, it would be good if it could be used in the military. ¡± The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 194 Let the Emperor become addicted to driving (text) Text Chapter 195 There was no quarrel Chapter 195 There was no quarrel. "Yes, if it is used in the military, it will be very fast if the police come thousands of miles to come to the rescue. But it transports too few people. If it is used by train, it will be much faster. It can transport thousands of troops at a time. At the same time, their The food, grass and baggage can also arrive at the same time. "That would be great. If the British and French invaders could arrive quickly, Lord Xianfeng would not have to go to Rehe." "That's right." It would be much faster if we had their transport army. Now all the countries in Europe and the West are using the Daxing Railway." Guangxu's mood sank again when he thought of this. Everything would be affected by the lack of money, if it weren't for the Queen Mother. The "garden" still needs to be built, and the situation is better, but it cannot be ignored for the Queen Mother's 60th birthday. Others have to be postponed, but the attached suggestions are okay. They don't have money from the Qing Dynasty to do it. It's unjustifiable if they don't do it anymore. Seeing that he was thinking again, Li Zhenhua said to him: "I will go back first. You can think about it yourself first." Emperor Guangxu said to him: "Then you should go back first. I want to think about it carefully." Li Zhenhua After saying goodbye, his guards who waited all day were bored to see him come out and went back happily with him. hub In the palace, Emperor Guangxu himself didn't sleep much all night. Li Zhenhua told him what others had said, but he just couldn't implement it. The Queen Mother above is a typical conservative figure. She only thinks about her "garden" and is just trying to balance the ministers in the court. She just wants to prevent the country from undergoing major changes. However, the great powers of various countries will not allow her to continue like this. She couldn't get through this test. Those ministers who seemed to be incompatible with her were often unable to leave the Forbidden City according to her own imperial edicts. The Queen Mother had the same thing. She asked the maids to take Yaqi down to rest. She almost didn't sleep a wink all night. What kind of gift did the couple come to give? Isn't this meant to kill you? What Yaqi and Li Zhenhua said was spot on, especially what Li Zhenhua said about the Emperor of Japan using his palace expenses to support the army. This made the Queen Mother very confused, but when she thought about it carefully, it was a clever move. Because this move aroused the morale of the people. She couldn¡¯t imagine what the consequences would be if she did the same thing. She knew that among the ministers in the court, who among them was wholeheartedly helping her? It would be much easier if this prince-in-law was really dedicated to helping him, but he had already seen that he was not a person who was willing to be subordinate to others. His ability was even higher than that of Li Hongzhang, but he could help his Qing Dynasty. Give everything he has? The answer is no. If you let him take charge of some financial matters, he will not do it. He will only make money for himself and he will not be of the same mind as himself. sohuboo But if he was not of the same mind as me, why would he give me such good advice? Why give so much help to the Beiyang Navy? This person really makes me unable to see through it. But there is some truth in whether the suggestions he made are good or not, but it would be much more difficult to implement them. But Beiyang's Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in Shanghai was a pit that Li Hongzhang couldn't fill. It wasn't even a "tasteless" at best. The annual expenditure required several million taels, but he took it over happily. I heard that it was done well. Now it is providing arms to the Beiyang Navy, and has also begun to build its own ships, and has begun to make money. This man is so talented. He went through so much trouble to give Gege to him for free. Seeing that Gege was also married, the daughter who threw water has become his. He never said a word about his brother-in-law along the way. It seems that the word "bu" means that a family does not enter a house. Once she enters his door, she becomes his, and he can no longer control her. His proposal to build the train station outside the outer city should be very reasonable. Let the emperor ask the ministers tomorrow. Thinking of this, she became upset again. Tomorrow there would be another quarrel with this bunch of slaves who failed to achieve anything but failed. Li Zhenhua didn't rest at night. He asked the people at the Beijing Intelligence Station to make a list for him. He wanted to give gifts. For the sake of this train station, he had to take this route. So one car after another drove out and the cars arrived separately. The houses of several princes, as well as the directors of the Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel, etc., all received cars at their houses. However, Li Zhenhua did not show up, but each of them had a letter directly requesting one at the front door. I would like to ask for your attention regarding the construction of a railway station in the southeast. Everyone accepted the car. The gift from the prince-in-law cannot be returned easily. It would be bad if he offended him. Although he has no real power today, his ability cannot be underestimated. Maybe he will gain power that day. It would be too late to curry favor with him. Let's talk about it tomorrow. If there are many people who support it, just support it. If there are few people who support it, then don't take a stand. Anyway, just don't say anything against it. That's it.??I offended someone. The next morning, Yaqi sent the Empress Dowager early again. They saw that the Empress Dowager was sitting in a car. People thought in their hearts that the Empress Dowager wanted to support her husband-in-law. They all understood in their hearts, but Master Weng did not. He knew something, but he just felt that it was unseemly for the Queen Mother to ride in a car and he was going to speak later. At the beginning of the meeting, Li Lianying read out the inscription on his forehead that he wanted to build a train station southeast of the front door. The emperor immediately began to speak. This matter was discussed by the ministers. Several princes and ministers who received the car saw that the Queen Mother was sitting there, which meant that the Queen Mother supported her husband-in-law, so they also actively expressed their support. Weng Tonghe looked at the Emperor, but the Emperor seemed to be very concerned about this matter today. He was so happy that he had no choice but to suppress his words and did not directly object to this matter in the court. It was something that both his mother and father were happy about. If he objected to it, wouldn't he be making trouble for himself? The Queen Mother feels that there is something abnormal today. This is the case. If one party supports the other party, it opposes the other party and follows the other party. Doesn't that mean that one party is incompetent? The other side was about to object, but no one came forward to object today, which reassured her that it was unanimously approved. Immediately drafted a decree to arrange for relevant officials in the capital to help with demolition and other matters, and gave Zhan Tianyou the title of Minister of Industry (that is, deputy minister). Li Zhenhua smiled and gave Zhan Tianyou a job. It's your business to go or not, that's Zhan Tianyou's business. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 195 There was no quarrel (text) Text Chapter 196 Three No. 1s in the World Chapter 196 Three Tops in the World. Seeing Li Zhenhua¡¯s happy look, Zhan Tianyou knew that it was done. But Li Zhenhua threw a baggage in his hand to him and said with a smile: "Brother, you can do it this time. The Queen Mother and the Emperor admire you very much. Come and try it on." Zhan Tianyou put down his work and opened the bag, a set of official uniforms from the Qing Dynasty, and put the crown and beads there. Zhan Tianyou looked at Li Zhenhua in confusion. Asked: "What does this mean?" "What do you mean? This is the Queen Mother and the Emperor trying to win over you. Is there any other meaning?" Zhan Tianyou laughed: "I think I also did it when I came back from studying in the United States. I wrote to the court to overhaul the railway, but they didn't let me work on the railway. Instead, they sent me to the Fujian Navy and asked me to be a naval officer. If it weren't for your promotion, brother, would I be where I am today? They used this again today? I won't do it if you coax me." "No, brother, this is of great benefit. If you have this status, it will be of great help to your future work. Do you think the officials who cooperate with you will not listen to you? Am I not a general?" Zhan Tianyou heard this and said, "That makes sense. Let's wear this thing later to scare people. Booom" In the afternoon, the inn where Li Zhenhua stayed was busy with the officials in the court. They began to come to visit. Heads from the Military Aircraft Department, the Sixth Department, the Prime Minister's Yamen, the Navy Yamen and other units all came to visit first and then invited Li Zhenhua to dinner. Li Zhenhua had already set a precedent here, so he immediately made a reservation for a restaurant. Then all the visiting officials were invited to dinner, especially all the officials from the Ministry of Industry. All the officials had to be present. At night, the restaurant had to put up a sign saying that it was reserved because it could not accommodate any other people. With the orders from above, the demolition work in Beijing has been carried out in full swing. With the Ministry of Works and the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture coming, and with the direct participation of the two court officials, Li Zhenhua and Zhan Tianyou, the work will definitely go much faster. With the cooperation below, The people are also very hardworking. First, a notice was posted: "Due to the construction of a train station between Qianmen and Dongbianmen, all residents here must be relocated. The railway department will compensate for the losses caused to the family. The railway department will pay compensation for the property of the family. At the same time, relocation fees must be paid during the assessment" The conditions were very generous and some small families quickly agreed. If they can buy a house with the money and still have money, they will make arrangements for it. People go to work on the railway, but some wealthy families have some difficulties, but those people can be accommodated. Some families who are inconvenient to move have even dispatched cars to help. hub Anyway, everyone in Beijing knows that a train station is going to be built in the south. A group of people came to the scene. They found the owner of the house and negotiated with the other party to demolish the house. Immediately pay cash compensation to see the quality of the house and give a price. Ordinary people who are honest and honest, then immediately arrange a job for one or two people and let them start from today. When you start working, you should give yourself a five-day holiday to arrange things at home. After finishing the work, you can go to work immediately. Having money in your hand will make you feel more at ease. In addition, you can also receive the month's salary before arranging work, so there is no objection from anyone. . But there are also some people who think they are great. If they want to stand in the way, it's hard to say. First of all, there is the emperor's imperial edict. At the same time, there are so many senior officials watching behind them, and there is money lying around. It's hard for them to resist. Can't make a fuss. It would be better for some petty bureaucrats to say that the first card they played was, "There is a purpose from above." With just one sentence, they gave way and solved the problem quickly. As soon as the people here move, the people behind them come to take over the houses, one by one. As the houses continue to be demolished, the work behind them becomes easier and easier. First, the original houses were demolished and the roadbed was cleared. Then the earthwork was put on, and then the gravel roadbed was extended to the east and southwest. The east side was connected to the original Tongzhou roadbed. Li Hongzhang was also actively responding to cargo ships in Tianjin. Railways, sleepers and other items have begun to be transported, especially the Tianjin Station built on the bank of the Hai River. Construction is also intensive The place. First a single line, then a double line. The track was laid from Tianjin to Beijing. On the way, it passed through the two warehouses of Nancang and Beicang, which were used by the Qing army to store grain and grass. Later, it was convenient to transport these things. Tianjin is only more than 120 kilometers from Beijing. Zhan Tianyou It was decided to complete all the work within one year and strive to open it to traffic. Then it would be faster to use railways to transport large items on the Beijing-Guangzhou line from the Tianjin pier, but it would be much more difficult to transport large items via dry roads. Zhan Tianyou's decision made the construction of the Beijing-Guangzhou Line much faster. On one side of the foundation, on the other side, the construction of the train station has begun. First, the foundation of a waiting hall appeared in front of the world, looking at it.It occupies a huge place, and people are thinking about how big it must be if it is so big here. How long is this sandalwood? Anyway, I have never seen such a big house. Those who became workers because they occupied their old houses put on new work clothes. Seeing that the people in the railway department were dedicated to helping them, they were even more determined to save themselves. Work well done. Although they are new workers, under the leadership of the old workers, they have exerted their greatest enthusiasm for work. Some people have just moved and have a lot of things to do at home, but they left their homes behind and ran to the construction site. Although I don¡¯t know how to do technical work, but I have the strength, I can use more strength to work under these good people. It is really worth it. In order to facilitate the connection between the carriages, Zhan Tianyou personally designed a hook, which is like two human mobile phones. The carriage pushed the carriage over and the carriage parked there hit the hook, and it would not automatically detach. It took manpower to open the "Zhan Tianyou hook" that was used for many years. Li Zhenhua asked him to trick a foreigner into using this patent. If foreigners use it, please come and buy my patent. At the beginning, the project was not very fast because there were too many novices on the construction site. But in the later stages, it became much faster. People were already familiar with their work, and it was much faster. There was no need to always ask the engineers for instructions. The railway from Tianjin to Beijing was finally completed. It was put into operation within ten months, which created several firsts in the world with the shortest construction period, the lowest cost and the best quality. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 196 Three Tops in the World (Text) Text Chapter 197 Touched and Being Moved Chapter 197 Moved and Moved This made Li Hongzhang very happy. It would be much more convenient for him to enter Beijing in the future. He is already old and traveling back and forth to Beijing and Tianjin is so difficult, whether he is riding a horse or taking a sedan. It takes two days, which makes him a little miserable, but there is no way this time. With the train, he is going to Beijing. Not only is the time shorter, sometimes he can go back and forth in one day, but at the same time, he no longer suffers like before. Let¡¯s not talk about whether others benefit from the railway, but I have benefited greatly. b I have wanted to build this railway from a long time ago, but I have no choice but to do it if the superiors don¡¯t agree. Now my brother-in-law just went to Beijing and the superiors agreed. Their ability is strong. I don¡¯t accept that it can¡¯t be done. It seems that I am really old. After that, it will be up to them. With him here, the most worry-free thing is actually the military aspect. It depends on how the Japanese are doing. If they really dare to come, then they will have a good look. After solving the railway problem in Beijing, Li Zhenhua naturally wanted to return to his Shanghai. There were too many things in Shanghai and it would be impossible to stay there. Li Zhenhua and Yaqi returned to Shanghai together. As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he immediately met with Sheng Xuanhuai, Shanghai Dao Zhu Baosan, and Shen Baoxiang. Several people rushed to his residence and immediately held a working meeting. hub A year has passed. Let¡¯s first listen to their report on their recent work. This year¡¯s report has the basis of last year¡¯s figures. Compare based on last year¡¯s figures to see how much has increased compared to last year. Many people only now know that last year¡¯s figures were big. Why does the boss attach so much importance to statistical work? Fortunately, everyone is focused on work and no one is thinking about personal matters. The original production starting point was very low. After one year of work, the progress has increased by more than 30%. . After finishing the year's summary work, it's the new year. Li Zhenhua's family of five finally got together, three adults, one son and one daughter, to celebrate the New Year together. Originally, Wang Xin was a little unhappy because she gave birth to a daughter, but Li Zhenhua said that the daughter was his. The happy little cotton-padded jacket said that her daughter would love others when she got older, which made Wang Xin happy. Li Zhenhua was still in the habit of going downstairs as soon as he finished the dumplings on the first day of junior high school. At the same time, Wang Xin and Yaqi also asked Wang Xin and Yaqi to go down to the workers at work to express condolences to the workers who were working during the New Year. Of course, the places they went to were all within the urban area of ??Shanghai, while Li Zhenhua went to places far away from Shanghai to express condolences. Li Zhenhua first arrived at the construction site of the science and technology city in his heart in the east of Shanghai. In order to consider the issue of electricity, his scientific research base in the east was not far from the Shanghai Machinery Company, only more than ten miles away, and a wire had been pulled to the construction site. sohuboo In his mind, he arranged the Institute of Drug Research, the Institute of Physics, and the Weapons Research Institute here. The other two items he placed in Fangcheng, a Shipbuilding Research Institute, and a Chemical Engineering Research Institute in Dongying. If it merged, it would be the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Now it is still a construction site under construction. But he did not expect that Hu Yongliang and Shi Zhiming, who were in charge of drug research, would appear here. As soon as they saw Li Zhenhua, they first wished Li Zhenhua New Year greetings and then introduced their work progress to Li Zhenhua. The winter in Shanghai is not as cold as in the north. The construction projects have not stopped. They only gave the workers a few days of annual leave, but most of those workers Due to the inconvenience of transportation, most of the workers from Peixian County, Jiangsu Province, did not go home. They all lived on the construction site. They only had a holiday in the afternoon of the 30th, and they had to go to work again tomorrow. As soon as he heard that the workers were just having a day off, Li Zhenhua and the two of them went to the place where the workers lived to visit them. As soon as they saw the general coming to visit the workers, all the workers came over. Li Zhenhua immediately said to everyone: "Hello, fellow workers, everyone. After working hard here for a year, we have not taken good care of you in many places. I am here to wish you a happy new year." After saying that, I bowed to the workers. How have these workers ever seen such a thing since they were young? The biggest thing they saw was a security chief, Li Zheng, etc. Even the county magistrate had never seen them before. They didn't expect that a high-ranking official in the court would bow to them for New Year greetings. They didn't know what to do, so people were in a mess. So many people knelt down to Li Zhenhua that it was difficult for him to stand. He also knelt down to the workers and everyone came to worship together. It was not easy for everyone to settle down. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "Thank you for working day and night for our project. Our project is progressing very quickly, but what I want to tell you is that we must first pay attention to the quality of the project. This building must be in We can't let it go wrong here for decades. The second is to pay attention to safety construction. We all have our own relatives at home. If you don't make money to go back, your relatives will also want you to go home safely, right? So we do it for our own relatives. We must pay attention to safety in production and avoid accidents." The extremely excited workers sent Li Zhenhua away. He then said to Hu Yongliang and Shi Zhiming: "For those who work during the holiday.Each worker on the shift must be paid three days' wages per day. They use the time they should have rested on their work. We must take this into consideration. " At the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway construction site, Li Zhenhua also witnessed the scene where railway workers voluntarily gave up working overtime during holidays. The young chief engineer here said to Li Zhenhua: "The Beijing-Tianjin Railway has created several firsts, and we must strive to complete it within one year. Although the roadbed here is more difficult than on the plains, we will not waste any time. We must have the railway open to traffic within a year. ¡± Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhu Baosan, Wang Xin, Yaqi and other senior leaders of Xinghua Group were moved and moved on this day. Those who have just transformed from farmers to workers have never been respected like this. The bows made by these senior leaders of Xinghua Group Company made them feel that their journey in this world was not in vain. The newspaper on the second day of the lunar new year mentioned that Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhu Baosan and others paid New Year greetings to the workers during the Chinese New Year. The complete report of the incident made many people feel incredible, but it also moved more people. They admired Xinghua Group Company even more. Those who had been in contact with the people of Xinghua Group Company all expressed their admiration for Xinghua Group Company. Xinghua Group Company has a deeper understanding. They know that with such a group of people, the backward Qing Dynasty will undergo profound changes. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 197 Moved and Moved (Text) Text Chapter 198 Shanghai Police Station Chapter 198 Shanghai Police Station After the officials of the Qing government heard about Li Zhenhua¡¯s behavior, some of them disapproved of it, but they were immediately criticized by their colleagues. Even the Empress Dowager Cixi said to his precious son: "It seems that The consort is really extraordinary. "Xu Qingshan left Hankou and headed east to Shanghai. The general's entourage told him very clearly that he should go to Shanghai. He has also heard some people talk about this general many times, saying how capable he is, but in his heart he has no good impression of these officials of the Qing government. It didn't work anymore, so I followed a businessman. Although the boss was good, his son was terrible. There was no future for a playboy following such a person. When Xu Qingshan was young, his family was fine and he had read some books. But later, his parents passed away and he had no support, so he had to join the army. Because there were some cultural superiors who promoted him, he was also in charge of No. 100 people. However, because the officers above him only knew how to bully. Soldiers and drinking soldiers' blood made him very disgusted, so he practiced martial arts desperately in order to make some progress in the future. Because he studied hard and practiced martial arts, he made great progress. However, he had an awkward relationship with his Shangguan, so he quit the job. He went to the dock to find a job. The salt merchant took a fancy to him and asked him to be his bodyguard. Although he said that he would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, Sometimes he had to wait on the young master. When he saw the young master, he got angry and attacked Li Zhenhua. He left the salt merchant's house, but he had no place to go. When Xiaolong found him, he was alone. As soon as he heard about the situation introduced by Bian Xiaolong while drinking, he immediately agreed that the general was not a fool. If he wanted to fight with others, he usually had few opponents in the military camp, but he restrained himself just after they met each other. He had a few tricks up his sleeve. . sohubom Xu Qingshan was always a straight-tempered man. He took the hundred silver dollars given by Bian Xiaolong and went straight to Shanghai. I met Zhu Baosan without any trouble. Zhu Baosan himself was a lover of generals and now he was an employer. When he saw that he was educated and had been a soldier, he directly appointed him as his captain of the bodyguard and had people take him everywhere. After visiting Xu Qingshan for a while, he started to take up his post. This is how people go. When they move from a place they don¡¯t like to a new place, and they feel comfortable in that place, they will put all their energy into it. A group of guards who were not outstanding at first quickly changed in his hands. In the words of the school, he is a transfer student, but no one from top to bottom dares to discriminate against him. The reason is that he was introduced by the general. booom, in addition, he can study seriously and hang out with the guards all day long. The soldiers also like him. He trains hard under his leadership, which makes some soldiers a little unbearable, but he never relaxes in training. In his words : "If you want to survive on the battlefield, you have to practice hard. If you don't want to sweat, you will lose your life on the battlefield." Zhu Baosan was very happy to see Xu Qingshan work so seriously. He knew There are police departments in Fangcheng and Dongying, but there is no police department in Shanghai, so he decided to set up a police department in Shanghai and let Xu Qingshan come. Chief Xu Qingshan was not willing to go at first. He felt that Zhu Baosan was good to him, and he wanted to protect Zhu Baosan, but Zhu Baosan told him that the chief of police was a more important job, so Xu Qingshan suddenly became the chief of police. There was no precedent for anything. Zhu Baosan just told him about the tasks of the police station and he started working. The main task was public security issues, and secondly, management. Shanghai's household registration issues and traffic management are also his tasks. There were naturally some of his original staff under the original Shanghai Road. Their tasks were to investigate and solve some original criminal cases, collect taxes, and deal with the work above. Since Zhu Baosan took office, he has wanted to change this situation. He has divided the things he has to do into several aspects. One is to develop industry and commerce. The other is to increase Shanghai's tax revenue. The third is to strengthen Shanghai's public security management. In order to complete these reforms, he He must have a force under his command, but the original Qing army Zhu Baosan did not intend to use it. He must develop his own security team, which is not restricted by the above. Zhu Baosan was very happy to see that the general had such a person for himself, so he asked him to start managing the members of the police force. First, you don¡¯t need to be a veteran. Second, you need to be a bit educated. Third, the family situation must be clear. Personnel were recruited openly from among the common people. Soon a police team was established. Several soldiers were invited from the Shanghai Machinery Company to train the following people. During the training, the coaches got to know all the people and then divided them into security forces, criminal investigation, Internal management, market security, traffic management, prison guarding and other departments. Zhu Baosan and Xu Qingshan will select suitable people for management. As for taxation, Lu Wenping, who was in Fangcheng, was invited to serve as the general manager. It turned out that all taxation issues wereHistorically speaking, those so-called Shaoxing masters were managed by some so-called Shaoxing masters. They were in charge of the fiscal revenue of a county, state, prefecture, and province. Why are they said to have mastered those powers? It turns out that officials at all levels are under the unified management of the imperial court. A magistrate can be transferred from above to any county at will. However, the minor officials below are not appointed by the imperial court. It turns out that they are appointed by a county from above on a list. The total population and total number of households are things that the new county magistrates do not know, so those magistrates can only rely on them. The county magistrate only knows how many total tasks a county has been given, how much money, and how much food should be paid, but how these numbers should be allocated. The magistrate's eyes are dark and he doesn't know anything. They can only rely on those responsible for these basic tasks. The petty officials are "overweighting" the tasks assigned by the top one by one and assigning them to the people below. Why are they "overweighting" them? Because in the Qing Dynasty, a county magistrate's annual salary was only 180 taels of silver, and the salary of all the servants of the magistrates and counties who were not in the establishment had to be paid here, including the master. , sedan chairs, yamen servants, Chuzuo, various copywriters, etc. are all here. You can¡¯t help but increase the amount. The above stipulates that you must bear the expenses of these people. The county magistrate had no choice but to impose stricter measures to ensure that these people could not work in vain and have no income. This provides a suitable environment for corruption and bribery from top to bottom. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 198 Shanghai Police Station (Text) Text Chapter 199 The Power of Public Opinion Chapter 199 The Power of Public Opinion Those who dare to make money in a few years will get rich. As the saying goes, it is wrong to be an official for thousands of miles just for food and clothing. If you become an official for the sake of getting rich, the price you will pay is huge. I grew up growing up. Isn't it money to live, study, and rush for exams? After passing the exam, you have to find a way to become an official? These investments must be recouped and at the same time, I have to make some sacrifices. After a while, I became familiar with it and slowly became "100% of the snowflake silver for the prefect of Qing Dynasty in three years", and I gradually increased my investment. Hub And those who don¡¯t know how to make money may not even have the money to go to Beijing. It can be said that this is the difference between honest and dirty officials. As a candidate, Zhu Baosan, for all this, he is a "corrupt official" from a clean family. This is the reason why . After many communications with Li Zhenhua and Sheng Xuanhuai, he understood that the only way to change all this was to start from scratch and solve the problem from the root. The original soil would not allow them to continue to exist. Approval of a certain amount, such as the police station's capacity of 100 people. The salary is 1,000 yuan per month for the office, and the budget is 300 yuan, so that¡¯s 1,300 yuan. Everyone is paid, including every worker, security guard, driver, etc. The privileges of those little historians are taken back and they are not allowed to have their own power. Special events require special handling. But the account books in the hands of those little officials are only passed down to their sons, not even their daughters. But their people are very smart. It turns out that the original Daotai master has failed. The new Daotai master has adopted a new set of management. The method is that they have no choice but to cooperate together. If they don't cooperate, it means that there will be a special person to investigate and understand you. It's hard to say if they want to catch your pigtails. But Master Daotai said what happened in the past. As long as it's not Those who commit heinous crimes will not be prosecuted, but starting from today, there will be a new requirement. If someone dares to violate the new regulations, the old and new accounts will be settled together. b So they had to hand over the underlying account books in their hands. How much land was there in Shanghai? How many people were there? How many households were there? How many original companies were there? How the original taxes were collected. Only then did they figure out the basic situation in Shanghai. But he discovered The difference is huge. Especially, although some big bureaucrats have a lot of land, they only receive a small amount of taxes, or they don't receive it at all. For example, Lord Li of the Central Hall owned thousands of acres of land near Shanghai. It turned out that when he was the governor of Jiangsu and the governor of Liangjiang, he and his family purchased a large amount of land in Jiangsu and Shanghai. But he has never received taxes. Who dares to go to Li Mansion to ask for taxes? I'm afraid no one in the entire Qing Dynasty would dare to ask for it. This directly violated the interests of the landlord class, which was also the fundamental interest of the entire Qing Dynasty. Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhu Baosan felt that there was no way to go before this step. How easy is it to change all this? Seeing things like this, Li Zhenhua was a little confused. It was not yet time to break with the Qing government (after seeing so many time travel novels, but no one came to solve this problem, I had no idea. Sohub went to my husband and wrote on his brow for a few days) The two ladies felt sorry for their husbands after hearing the word "Chuan". Naturally, they wanted to ask about it. But when Li Zhenhua told them the problem, they had no choice but to say: "No." I'm afraid it's hard to tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor to let them solve this problem and let us solve it." Yaqi's method is to go to Guanyin Bodhisattva to solve it if Sun Wukong's method fails. But this time, I'm afraid even Guanyin Bodhisattva can't. It can¡¯t be solved. In fact, Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhu Baosan also said some non-solutions, that is, to bypass this problem later, which means to continue to put their burden on the working people at the grassroots level. This is what Li Zhenhua does not want to see. Seeing that no one could do anything, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to say: "I have a way, how about you all discuss it?" When everyone saw that the big boss had come up with a move, everyone immediately became excited and their eyes were fixed on Li Zhenhua. It turns out that as long as there is no way Li Zhenhua wrote the word "public opinion" on the table with his hand. The eyes of Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhu Baosan and the two wives changed. How can the word "public opinion" have such great power? Do you want those bureaucrats to obediently hand over their money? Li Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you guys looking at me like this? How can we know if they are convinced or not if we don't try it?" Sheng Xuanhuai said: "General, you too Just stop whetting our appetites and just tell us what to do. We¡¯ll do it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We first published it in the newspaper that a large part of the land around Shanghai belongs to some officials. They didn't pay taxes and grain. Now the Shanghai Road requires them to pay last year's taxes and grain within two months. They can also pay it with money, but some people will definitely not pay it. Then we will collect it by force and then we will punish them. For punishment." "What about down there?" Zhu Baosan asked.bsp; "There must be people below who will take the initiative to ask us to pay. Then we will say that most of them have already paid their own taxes and grains. This is to divide them. Honestly, we will not deal with it. We will only make up for one year's previous taxes." We will leave it alone, but we will not be polite to those who are thorny. We will severely punish them. This public opinion work has been following anyone. If they dare to be shameless, then we will slap their faces hard. Those in Beijing. It would be better for the officials to say that we should send the newspaper to the palace so that the Queen Mother and the Emperor can see how unreasonable their officials are. They dare not take the royal grain and national taxes and turn it back to them. "The newspaper is theirs and they immediately turned it back. So we took action and posted a message on it: "Recently, it was discovered through Shanghai Road that a large part of the land in Shanghai has not paid royal taxes. Now Shanghai Road has issued a notice asking all landowners who have not paid taxes and grain to pay taxes and grains at Shanghai Road within a month. Those who fail to pay taxes and grain for one year will be severely punished. "At the same time, Zhu Baosan sent his policemen and some soldiers from the Qing army, some of whom were wearing old-fashioned Qing army uniforms and some of whom were wearing new police uniforms. The landlords went to their homes to tell them how much the taxes and grains were for this year, and asked them to pay the taxes and grains within one month, otherwise they would be fined, and they would be held accountable for the taxes and grains they owed in the past, and their names would also be published in the newspaper. The newspaper report and the notice sent made these people explode for a while. What are these people saying? One is that they have never received it before, and the other is that they have received less through other means, but now they are notified of the payment requirements. They were very unhappy. For a while, they were running around and communicating with each other. They wanted to find a way to deal with the announcement from Shanghai Road. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 199 The Power of Public Opinion (Text) Text Chapter 200 The power of public opinion (2) Chapter 200 The Power of Public Opinion (2) Now it is not only they who are making trouble, but also many ordinary people. When they hear that some big families have not paid taxes and grain, some literati and scholars also express their opinions in newspapers against those people. People who don't pay taxes and food are attacking, especially those with little education. They are making comments in vernacular, which attracts more people to participate. It turns out that the Morning Bell has a special place for vernacular. Shanghai was immediately in chaos. Those housekeepers whose bosses were not in Shanghai immediately informed their bosses through various means that Shanghai Road would require them to pay taxes and grain. Most of the people who had no backing immediately began to feel timid. They knew who the backstage of Shanghai Road was. They knew Li Zhenhua's ability. They immediately sent the food that should be paid to the official warehouse of Shanghai Road. The name of the person who sent the food. It immediately appeared in the newspaper. Zhu Baosan sent a message to the Shanghai newspaper and asked them to put a countdown in the newspaper: "Today is thirty days before the end of the notice." By analogy, the Shanghai Road's deterrence was increased. Finally, the name of the person they were staring at, Li Zhongtang, appeared in the newspaper. Li Hongzhang originally did not know about this vow, but when the housekeeper in Shanghai reported it to him, he had no intention of having anything happen to Mao Dun over this trivial matter with Li Zhenhua. Instead, he felt that he should support Li Zhenhua's work, so he immediately told his housekeeper to quickly make up the money he owed to Shanghai Road. b Once Li Zhongtang¡¯s food is handed over to other people, there is no thought. It turns out that some people think that the law is not accountable to the public, and they want to drag it up. At the same time, they don¡¯t take the small Shanghai road seriously, but Since Li Hongzhang had handed over the grain to others, he had no idea. Everyone knew about the relationship between Li Hongzhang and Li Zhenhua, so all the tax arrears were paid before the end of the announcement. Old Li also sent a special letter to Li Zhenhua. A telegram: "Brother, this is a wonderful move." Li Zhenhua took this telegram and asked Sheng Xuanhuai: "Brother, what does this telegram from Lao Li mean?" After seeing those words, Sheng Xuanhuai said to Li Zhenhua : "He is sincerely willing to give you this money. It doesn't matter. If he doesn't agree, he won't send you a telegram. But the general's move is so wonderful that the big landowners have to take out the food themselves. And we did not break up with them. This should make the common people happy, and Zhu Daotai also left a good impression in front of the emperor. Anyone who only thinks about dealing with Zhu Baosan in the future will have to think carefully. "hub" In fact, this was also the case. After Zhu Baosan completed the imperial food supply, he sent a memorial to the court about his food collection. Seeing that he dared to attack some court officials made Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu very happy. The two of them thought that this was the result of their understanding of people and their responsibilities, so they immediately sent Zhu Baosan a metaphor to encourage him. Zhu Baosan's approach is actually to protect his own interests. No one will be dissatisfied if he occupies such a fertile area in Shanghai. They must be looking for faults in themselves. But with this move, no one will dare to attack him casually. . Sheng Xuanhuai actually sees things further. People will not take the initiative to attack Li Zhenhua. But if they do anything to Li Zhenhua, they will do something to his subordinates. That is, the original "Left-Left-Left Controversy" is nothing on the surface, but underneath it is Hu Xueyan was tricked and made into Zuo Zongtang's scapegoat. Many officials wanted to imitate the move played by Shanghai Road Zhu Baosan, but after their own analysis, they all gave up. They didn't have that much courage. If they dared to do this move, let alone their official positions, they wouldn't even have the brains. It's safe to live. Last year, I put tea and raw silk on the tea and raw silk, which made the foreign merchants from various countries very distressed. When I mentioned this, the tea merchants and silk merchants in the foreign villages talked about it. Last year, it was really After making money, the tea farmers below me also earned more. For tea, since last spring, Chinese merchants who sell foreign tea have united under Zhu Baosan's guidance and established a "Tea Export Association". They actually set the export price themselves, which made those foreign merchants I greatly despised those businessmen with pigtails on their heads. They used to look at those foreign businessmen when eating. This time they actually united to form a "Tea Export Association". This made those foreign merchants unexpected. When did the Chinese also learn to control prices? If that didn't work, they immediately held a meeting for Chinese tea merchants. At that time, the Western merchants in Shanghai had their own organization called "Western Merchants" Guild" This is a business organization controlled by the British. Those foreign businessmen who left their country must be very united. Their organization has great authority in China. They are very popular among Chinese businessmen, but todayBut it doesn't work anymore. After some plotting, they immediately launched a counterattack. The foreigners sat together and they were going to use their old method again, which was to start buying tea at a high price. The price of tea was one hundred silver dollars per load until a large amount of tea was on the market. They began to lower the price. At that time, the price of a load of tea would be reduced to sixty silver dollars or lower, but the Chinese tea merchants simply ignored them. Because the price they set this year is one hundred and twenty silver dollars per load. Seeing that the Chinese were not afraid of their price reduction, Paul Anderson, the British president of the Western Business Association, decided to let the foreign businessmen find their own customers to win over the Chinese businessmen, that is, to let them set prices privately. They break away from their own "Tea Export Sales Association" and then compare the prices, and then the higher or lower price will come out, and the "Export Sales Association" will exist in name only. But when they got together again for a meeting a few days later, everyone's report found that the Chinese businessmen were surprisingly unanimous. Two-thirds of the businessmen were no longer so submissive to them at all. They unanimously insisted on being consistent. Although some people had something in mind about the price of one hundred and twenty yuan, they did not dare to say it out loud. Some simply found an excuse to say that they were not at home and made those foreign businessmen make several trips in vain. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 200 The Power of Public Opinion (2) (Text) Text Chapter 201 Tea poured into the Huangpu River Chapter 201 Tea was poured into the Huangpu River. When the foreign businessmen saw that the Chinese were united, they resorted to their last resort. If you don¡¯t lower the price, we won¡¯t stop. They saw the foreign businessmen resorting to their final ¡° trump card ¡±. Some tea merchants couldn't hold themselves back, and some were planning to cut prices. But at this time, the intelligence personnel of Xinghua Group Company sent them a piece of information from the United Kingdom, thousands of miles away, so that the Chinese businessmen knew their bottom line, that is, once they arrived at the end of June, they had to If the tea leaves are not purchased, the quality will decline, and their domestic dealers will sue them for breach of contract. This made the businessmen who made Yangzhuang tea feel confident again. But by the end of June, their foreign businessmen still insisted on refusing the acquisition. This made some Chinese tea merchants a little unbearable. Some merchants decided to ship. However, as the leader of Huizhou merchants, "Hongtai Trading Company", their general manager, the president of the Tea Association, came forward. This is a young and promising president. Manager Xiao Tianqiang said to everyone: "Don't panic, they will soon be unable to withstand it. Domestic merchants are already urging them to purchase tea. If they don't purchase, they will bear huge breach of contract compensation. If we persist, we will soon be We are going to win." Things have reached this stage and people have no choice but to wait a few more days. At this time, the scheming Paul Anderson began to use differentiation methods again. He personally went to Hongtai Trading Company and began to say to General Manager Xiao: "We can give you one hundred and twenty silver dollars for your personal tea, provided that you don't take the lead in making trouble anymore." Young Mr. Xiao said to him: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this condition. If you don't want it, we will "I poured the tea into the Huangpu River." Paul Anderson said with a dark smile: "Okay, just keep going and I'll see how you end up. If you pour the tea into the Huangpu River, your boss won't agree." "Then you. Just wait and see." As a result, a large number of carts carrying tea came to the Huangpu River the next day. General Manager Xiao directed his workers to start dumping tea into the Huangpu River. The two sides were now fighting for "Qi". Who can persist until the last bag of tea is poured into the Huangpu River? The foreign businessmen in the Western Business Association nearby were anxious. If the Chinese fell like this again, they would have to pay huge compensation to the country. They all said to Ming Luo Anderson: "Do you agree to their conditions?" ? If you don't agree to it, you can go talk to them yourself. If it's too late, we won't be able to collect the tea." At this time, Paul Anderson was like a defeated rooster. It was already in chaos. In fact, he couldn't stand it anymore. Every day, telegrams came from China urging him to buy tea. So he hurriedly asked his coachman to catch up with the car. He ran to the river bank in person with a group of members of the Western Merchants Association. They stopped Mr. Xiao who was pouring tea: "General Manager Xiao, please stop pouring the tea. Let's discuss it carefully. I'll give you a hundred yuan. That's okay. Sohubom" But Mr. Xiao's reply was one word: "Pour" The other Western businessmen were anxious. They didn't care about Paul Anderson at all. They stepped forward and stopped the workers who were pouring tea: "General Manager Xiao, please stop. Don't pour anymore. We don't care what Paul does. We These people promised you a price of 120 yuan and we will take all the goods." The tea war ended with the final victory of the Chinese businessmen. When the reporters ran to interview Mr. Xiao, he said to the reporters: " Please don¡¯t interview me. This victory for our tea merchants is firstly due to the concerted efforts of all our colleagues. In addition, Xinghua Group Company also has great support for us. They have invested huge amounts of money and intelligence information in us and have the greatest support. Because of their moral support, even if I poured out all the tea leaves, those friends would not let me lose a dollar. Their silver dollars had already been transferred to our account. "Ah, it's them again. Our businessmen support us. When the news was disclosed in the newspaper, Xinghua Group Company immediately issued a statement: "This is the victorious result of the united struggle of our Chinese businessmen. As long as we are united and no longer scattered, we will lift up the world." The silk merchants in Nanxun also received help from Xinghua Group Company. They also won the competition with foreign businessmen. Xinghua Group Company did not have much income from these two major businesses last year, but they were responsible for it. Many silk merchants and tea merchants know how many risks they have taken. Others will not support us in this way. We are the people who live at the bottom of society. They are truly convinced that others are really helping them. If they win, they will get an advantage, but they will not get any income at all. But Xinghua Group¡¯s income in other aspects is not small, just in Nanxun.How much is the investment? Similarly, the hometowns of the tea merchants themselves have invested and will soon make profits. If you invest in services, there will be no returns unless you are too shady. It is not services but If you're robbing people, then you can't do it. Li Zhenhua¡¯s main focus during this period is not on the railway but on international aspects. He also pays attention to Japan and North Korea. Negotiations in the UK have been on and off, but Li Zhenhua has already figured it out. He asked the intelligence personnel in the UK to tell Xue Fucheng that you can just drag it out with them. Anyway, they are not planning to make any treaty with you now. Xue Fucheng, who was far away in the UK, was very touched by the support of Xinghua Group Company. He also sent a telegram to Li Zhenhua to express his gratitude. This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, in the past, Britain, Russia and China were the major powers in Asia. Once a war breaks out, what means will the British and Russia take to help the Japanese? Will they get involved? Russia and Japan have a relationship. It is impossible for Mao Dun and others to participate. The British are too far away from us. They are not fully prepared and cannot directly participate in the war. However, we must also prevent them from using speculative methods to engage in conspiracy activities. It will depend on how the situation changes. If we lose, they will definitely take action. If we win, they will have to see how to benefit them. If they dare to attack us, we will do it in Myanmar. At the same time, we will teach them a lesson in southern Tibet and Hong Kong wherever they are connected, making it difficult for them to support us. However, it will be difficult for us. At the same time, we must also consider the relationship with the Qing Dynasty. The government's Mao Dun problem. The Tung Hak Party instigated by them in Japan is now actively active. It is estimated that their uprising will begin by then. This is an excuse created by them for Japan to invade Korea. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 201 Tea was poured into the Huangpu River (text) Text Chapter 202 Encourage Weng Tonghe to spend money Chapter 202 Encourage Weng Tonghe to spend money. The top leaders of the Japanese government have now established a base camp, including the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, Minister of War, Chief of Naval Command and other senior officials. The Japanese army's army has begun preparations for crossing the sea. Army reorganization The navy was also ready for training. They tightened their belts and replenished the two warships that were missing in the Yellow Sea. They also purchased two new warships. They still called them the original names "Songdao" and "Songdao". "itsukushima". The intelligence personnel learned the basic tactics of the Japanese Navy. Their new warships all use centerline artillery. Their tactics also began to adopt new tactics in the world, which is the "T" tactic that the navy began to implement. They concentrated their efforts on Further study the tactical issues of how to deal with the Beiyang Navy. They plan to use the four ships "Yoshino", "Naniwa", "Takachiho" and "Akitsusu" to form the first guerrilla force. They will use their speed advantage to form an outflank and front and rear pincer attack against the slow speed of the Beiyang Navy, and then attack The Beiyang Navy gave a fatal blow, making it difficult for the Beiyang Navy to take care of itself. Take the opportunity to destroy the slowest warships of the Beiyang Navy, and then they can gain an advantage and then conduct a concentrated fire attack on the Beiyang Navy's flagship "Dingyuan". In this way, the Beiyang Navy loses command and they can win a complete victory. . As long as sohubom defeats the Beiyang Navy, the mainland of China will be like a girl meeting a pervert. Then they can do whatever they want. The Japanese have spent a lot of money on this "big gamble". Sixty percent of their fiscal revenue has been spent on war preparations. After years of preparation, this time they are determined to win the Sino-Japanese War. They don't even consider the eventuality. What defeat looks like. Li Zhenhua said in his heart that I have known this for a long time and they will definitely not be able to take advantage of the Japanese. Now the new warship we bought from a South American country has returned to China and has been renovated in Fangcheng. Its displacement is 5,430 tons. Its speed has reached 25 knots. Its main gun is six 260 mm four-guns. The 15-fold caliber three twin turrets and about ten secondary guns are arranged in rows with a caliber of 150 mm. The armor adopts new German technology. The two newly built warships are almost completed now. They are used to steal the Japanese's retreat. Once they fight with them, sea control must be in their own hands. Li Zhenhua will never do such stupid things. To control the Japanese transportation lines but to compete with them for strength, as long as their sea transportation lines are cut off, as many people as they have in Korea will be in chaos without a fight. After careful analysis, Li Zhenhua felt that there was no problem with the first war against the Japanese, but the problem after this war with the Japanese was that we won at sea and trapped the Japanese army under North Korea, so we attacked their homeland and forced them to Aren't you interested in our territory if they surrender? Then I will take your land and let you continue to be my vassal country. If you are disobedient, I will have many ways to deal with you and make you obey me 100%. b Before the end of the war, let a special agent team enter Japan. Once they have won the battlefield, they will take their emperor into their own hands with a single order. This will blackmail Japan into completely obeying their own wishes. First, separate from the Qing government and wait until the Qing Dynasty is eliminated. The final decision on Japan's fate will be made after the government issues are resolved. This will happen next year. Although he has to prepare early, he doesn't have to keep an eye on Li Zhenhua again. He wants to set off smoke bombs for the Japanese. He asked his Japanese spies to tell Japan that the main energy of the Qing government has been attracted by the British. They did not pay attention to the trends in Japan but worked hard to build railways. They were engaged in domestic construction and used people's money to eliminate disasters. If they used other people's money, they would give others a little sweetness. The information he gave to the Japanese carefully introduced the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the railways between Tianjin and Beijing. Now that Li Zhenhua has nothing to do, he and Zhan Tianyou will take care of engineering matters. Or go to the ministers to ask for a cup of tea. Anyway, he goes to whoever he wants to go to. There is no one who can't explain it. There is no one who can't get along with him. Anyway, his identity is that he is a relative of the emperor. There is no such thing as Mao Dun. He also admired those reform parties very much. Li Zhenhua was also interacting with them, but he would not be too enthusiastic about them because these people were also unreliable. They were following Guangxu's stinky feet. Xu Gengshen is now the Secretary of the Ministry of War. I have gone there a few times and the two of them can speak very well. Xu Gengshen also led troops in his early years. He knows the strength of the Qing army and admires his consort's performance in the war against France in the south. He has thought about it many times. Let Li Zhenhua help the court train a new army to solve the problem of the current low combat effectiveness of the Qing army. But Li Zhenhua always said that now is not the time. Even if you proposed it to the court, they would not agree if Li Zhenhua pointed upward with his hand. . Xu Gengshen had no choice but to give up and say no more. Anyway, Lao Xu is very interested in his car. He drives it every day when going to the streets. He doesn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s reactions.It's fast, comfortable and safe. Why don't you use it? It just costs some gasoline and maintenance fees. Calculating it, we can save more money than taking a car class. Li Zhenhua asked Weng Tonghe a question. In the evening, he went to Weng Tonghe's house and saw him wearing a pair of reading glasses and working hard by candlelight, so he asked him: "Master Weng, do you think I am on guard?" "How are the electric lights in the city?" Although Weng Tonghe was very disgusted with Li Zhenhua and Li Hongzhang, he could not say anything when asked about the summary, so he had to say: "That foreign electric light is very good, but we can't use it without electricity here. "What's the problem?" Li Zhenhua said: "But those are not foreign things. They are our own. We can't call them foreign lights. Now it depends on whether you want to light them up in Beijing." Weng Tonghe said: "Of course I have." Li Zhenhua stretched out his hand to him and said bluntly: "Then take the silver. It's not enough to have no money, but it's not much. As long as you have a million taels, it will be fine." Weng Tonghe started to gnash his teeth again. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he knows best how much money is in the treasury and the flow of this money. Only he knows best that if he wants to invest, it can only be money to repair the "garden". But can the Queen Mother be willing to part with this money? In fact, his idea was superfluous because Li Zhenhua had already made a trick on the Queen Mother. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 202 Encourage Weng Tonghe to spend money (text) Text Chapter 203 Preparing for the Queen Mother¡¯s ¡°Longevity Celebration¡± Chapter 203 Preparing for the Queen Mother's "Longevity Celebration" It turns out that he not only sent a car to the Queen Mother, but he also asked Yaqi to send a small car to the Queen Mother, and the Emperor also had one. The Queen Mother's place is bright every night now. She also said at the beginning: "It's not good. It makes too much noise. People can't sleep well." But the elderly are dim-sighted, but it's much better under the electric light. That kind of temptation Yaqi, who couldn't stop her, put the wire extension farther away for her and put it in a spare room far away so she couldn't hear it. It would be much more convenient if there was a drama at night or something. At least she didn't have to smell it. The smell of those candles. In this way, there are more people from the Xinghua Group Company around the Queen Mother. The same electricians are also some female agents from the Intelligence Department. These people are all privileged. They can also enter the Queen Mother's bedroom, and these The drivers and electricians are both good people and have a good relationship with the eunuchs and maids, and they are more capable than them. When Weng Tonghe told the Queen Mother that he would build a power plant in Beijing, the Queen Mother readily agreed. Both the Empress Dowager Cixi and Weng Tonghe felt a little strange. The Empress Dowager wondered how these misers could think of spending money and investing in a new thing. Normally, he would oppose all new things. Weng Tonghe was also wondering what happened this time. Why is the Queen Mother so happy to spend money to repair the "garden"? ??????????????????????????????????????????? Anyway, the project has been approved, so it¡¯s naturally not the foreigners¡¯ turn to do the construction work, so we can just let the prince-in-law handle it directly. Soon the money will be transferred to the account of Xinghua Company. sohub A coal mine dozens of miles southwest of Beijing is busy. It turns out that Xinghua Group Company, the largest company in the country, is going to start construction here. A young chief engineer led a group of equally young builders into the construction site. They first conducted exploration and were overjoyed to see the large amount of coal there. They immediately started working, using a drill rig to drill many eyes to inspect the coal seams there. Then construction started there. A large amount of coal was mined and sent to Beijing to solve the problems of people's lives and the use of some small industries. Then a power plant was built nearby. First, a unit of 100,000 kilowatts was installed. First, some lighting problems were solved. Let¡¯s talk about industry. "Tall iron towers are being built all the way to the urban area of ??Beijing. These works will not be completed until next year. Don't be in a hurry and do it slowly." Now that we have built a power plant, we must consider the problem of not wasting the heat energy in the future. It is so cold in winter that we must solve the heating problem. It is not practical to send heat to Beijing now, but there should be no problem in Dongying, so Li Zhenhua abandoned Beijing. He ran to Dongying. Another reason why Li Zhenhua ran to Dongying is that he read an imperial edict from the imperial court, which was about the Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday. He was very disgusted with this matter. The following data was enough to disgust Li Zhenhua: The preparations for the "Longevity Celebration" for the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi began two years ago on the tenth day of October in the 20th year of Guangxu (i.e. November 7, 1894). Hub Guangxu Emperor Guangxu issued an edict on the second day of December in the year 92: "In the year of Jiawu, when the sixties are celebrated and the longevity is prosperous, I shall lead the people of the world to celebrate the occasion. All the necessary rituals and ceremonies must be handled by dedicated ministers." Yizhao Shengzheng, Prince Shiduo of Paili, Wang Yikuang of Qingjun, University Scholars Elhebu, Zhang Zhiwan, Fu Kun, Minister of Hubu Xijing, Weng Tonghe, Minister of Rites Kungang, Li Hongzao, Minister of War, Xu Geng, Minister of Gongbu, Songxi, and Sun Jianai. The king's ministers and others, together with General Ke Gong from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will discuss the old rituals in detail and ask for the orders to be implemented at any time." Then in the spring of this year, a special celebration department was established to handle it. Celebration matters. The following is where the money is spent. 1. Prepare special utensils for the Queen Mother, repairs, etc.: Dragon robes, dragon gowns, cloaks, shirts, various colors of python satin, silk and other fabrics. The above cost a total of more than 232,000 taels of silver. The jade album, jade treasure, album inscription, treasure inscription gold box, and gold seal pool used for adding the emblem totaled 386,000 taels of silver. One ride of the golden chariot cost 76,913 taels of silver. A total of more than 78,900 taels of silver were spent on various warm sedans, bright sedans, and painted car lights. The cost of colored silk fabrics and allowances is 144,150 taels of silver, and the amount of colored silk fabrics is 16,610 taels of silver. The cost of materials and labor for the colorful sheds and colorful palaces in the Summer Palace and other places was 460,878 taels of silver. The paving required for the Summer Palace and Zhongnanhai cost a total of 224,545 taels of silver. Lamps in the Forbidden City and other places only cost 200,000 taels of silver. The number of dilapidated palaces, gates, temples, etc. that have been repaired and painted has reached tens of thousands of people. 2. Street repairs and scenery decoration. During the celebration period, the street pavements on both sides of the road that the Empress Dowager Cixi passed from the Summer Palace to the palace must be repaired and dragon sheds, dragon towers, and passageways must be built in sections.Sheds, stages, archways, pavilions and other scenic spots are installed. Each section of the dragon shed, dragon tower and sutra shed is decorated with a pair of yellow satin dragon flags and a pair of blessing plaques with the words "A certain official somewhere wishes you long life and endless longevity". Several pots of flowers were placed in each section and thirty-eight officials, tea servants and soldiers were sent to take care of the twenty-nine monks and musicians. There are sixty-four sections in total, each section requires 40,000 taels of silver, and a total of 2,400,000 taels of silver is required. 3. Scenes of banquets, performances and ceremonials During the celebration period, as usual, the Empress Dowager Cixi will be given an emblem. The emblem is now 16 characters long, namely "Cixi Duanyou Kang Yizhao Yuzhuang Sincerely Presents the Empress Chongxi to the Empress Dowager Chongxi". They really don't mind it. For a single banquet, the Ministry of Accounts is required to pre-allocate 230,000 taels of silver for the musicians and other items, which will cost about 70,000 taels. The various items used in the opera cost more than 520,000 taels of silver. During the celebration, the Empress Dowager Cixi took the "golden chariot" from the Summer Palace to the palace or from the palace to Zhongnanhai and the Summer Palace, and when holding ceremonies and banquets, she needed to invite a large number of chariot captains, eunuchs and a mighty honor guard. The number of chariot captains requested was 790 sula, 1,602, and 1,362 commissioned captains. The above-mentioned people's clothing and other items cost about 150,000 taels of silver and 364 taels of gold. Purchase reward items and other items of about 300,000 taels. 4. Funding sources: Part of the funds required to organize the "Longevity Celebration" will be allocated by the "Ministry Treasury" and the other part will be "coordinated by outside Beijing". The funds allocated by the ministry treasury were "deducted" two million taels from the "border defense funds" and the one million taels of railway funds. The reward silver taels apportioned by the co-ordinators outside the capital, that is, the officials inside and outside the capital, amounted to more than 2,981,500 taels. The above are only well-documented cash data, and other off-the-books plundering cannot be counted. According to historians' estimates, the celebrations consumed more than 10 million taels of silver, equivalent to one-sixth of the Qing government's annual income, enough to equip a new Beiyang fleet. When he saw this, Li Zhenhua was already annoyed. He ran away as soon as he saw it. How many days have I seen Little Japan fight with you? How can you survive this celebration? The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 203 Preparing for the Queen Mother¡¯s ¡°Longevity Celebration¡± (Text) Text Chapter 204 Making full use of energy Chapter 204 Make full use of energy. It¡¯s better to go by car. Otherwise, there will be no cars after arriving in Tianjin. The railway from Tianjin to Nanjing is still under planning. Pedestrians have to take a small steamer. After that, people must be able to It just needs to be convenient. The car was on the road again. It went to Tianjin and then south to Dongying. The journey was very smooth. The road from Cangzhou to Dongying has been repaired. The asphalt road is only four or five meters wide. It is a pity that we cannot set up a toll station on the road. The life of the people is too hard. The life of businessmen is also difficult. Forget it, it¡¯s better not to think about it. If you can collect it, you can build more roads. You know, the money for building roads is quite a lot. As soon as the car hit the newly built road, it immediately picked up speed. After Li Zhenhua arrived in Dongying, he first received several telegrams. One was from Fangcheng. They said that after more than a year of trial operation, the rails they produced were qualified and ready to go. Li Zhenhua is very happy that he does not need to import steel rails from the United States. He knows that he has built a large number of railways. The rails are a big roof. Now that the problem is solved, is he unhappy? He immediately asked people to inform Shanghai that there was now going to be a test on residual oil as fuel. It would also be a good thing to use less coal. The Fangcheng Navy has now brought the warships to Madavia where they are conducting various tests. Deng Shichang reported that these new warships are very effective in terms of speed and firepower. This series of good things has made people very satisfied. Li Zhenhua is in a good mood. sohub Li Zhenhua and Lin Zhiming first met to learn about the local production situation. Now they can produce gasoline, diesel, kerosene, lubricating oil, and paraffin. Scientific and technological workers are studying to extract more useful things from oil. Plastic products have been seen by people. Recently, they are studying the production of chemical fibers so that they can be used to produce military clothing in the future. The power plant in Dongying is relatively large in scale. They are currently undergoing a second expansion. The power generation capacity has been greatly increased compared to the original. The power used by the military, agriculture, and industry can all be guaranteed, but the large amount of thermal energy has not been fully utilized. Li Zhenhua called a few people and Lin Zhiming. Li Zhenhua and some technical personnel led some more capable workers to the power plant. Li Zhenhua told everyone that his idea was to fully utilize the heat energy of the power plant and transport it through pipelines to residential areas and office areas of residents. Don't let people use fires to solve the heating problem. Firstly, it is wasteful. Secondly, it is dangerous. Don't you often hear that people are poisoned by gas? In addition, the liquefied petroleum gas associated with oil must also be collected for people to use for cooking, so that the big torches in the refinery should not continue to burn. After people watched it on the spot, they brainstormed and set up a set of the most economical and efficient plan to send the thermal energy resources and petroleum liquefied gas of the power plant to the residential areas respectively. Two pipelines were sent to each household in parallel. From then on, people said goodbye The history of traditional cooking with firewood and coal. booom The same large amount of firewood can be used to raise more and better livestock, and pigs, cattle, sheep and other meat can be eaten, and the livestock manure can be used as fertilizer, adding organic fertilizer to the fields. This year¡¯s wheat harvest was a bumper one, making this barren land grow food for the first time. Although the quantity was smaller, corn was planted in the second season, and the land area was more than three times larger than last year. Those tractors were showing their talents at this time. They were much faster than manual labor. At the same time, the ability of the tractors was also tested here. Li Zhenhua was very interested in converting them into tanks in the future. After testing, he decided on the chassis and engine of a model. For conversion into tanks. The armor doesn't need to be too thick. Now the artillery fire of Britain, France and other countries is not precise shooting but rough shooting, so it is mainly aimed at their heavy machine guns. As long as the heavy machine guns cannot penetrate, then it is fine. Invincible. Until World War I, they did not have flat-fire weapons specifically designed to deal with tanks. Those things did not appear until World War II. It¡¯s soon autumn again, and the corn has been harvested. The land that has not been planted with crops is now planted. It will definitely be a bumper harvest. The warehouse is already full. The corn can only be stored in the open air. This year, Henan was hit by a disaster. The court needs to report to the court. Food was distributed there for disaster relief, but there was not that much food everywhere. Li Zhenhua donated 560 tons of food to the disaster-stricken areas in Henan in the name of Xinghua Group, which was exactly 20,000 shi. When the 20,000 shi of grain arrived in Henan, it caused a huge sensation. The Xinghua Group was really wealthy, but they were also in a desperate need. Others did not move, but they donated 20,000 shi. How many people could be saved? As a result, people have gained more knowledge about Xinghua Group. Newspapers in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing praised them highly and called them conscientious businessmen. Our own Morning Bell newspaper also published an initiative calling on all localities to donate to the people in the disaster areas. This led many businesses to donate a lot of materials to the disaster areas (money cannot be given). Do you think there are such people in modern times who are embezzling disaster relief? In this era, it is more It may be easier for some people) The court also sent a commendation. Governors and governors from various places also greatly admired Henan.Fu Fu also sent a telegram of thanks to the imperial court and to Fangcheng in person. Japan also asked Li Zhenhua to buy grain from him. Li Zhenhua's reply was: If there is none this year, it can be sold next year. When the Japanese heard that this guy had a dark heart and gave him so much money, he only said that he would sell it to himself as food instead of donating some. Li Zhenhua laughed loudly when he heard about it: "He wants to ask for food from me only when I give it to him, but that is when Japan belongs to me." 1893 has passed and next year will be the Year of Sino-Japanese War. Use the food before the Spring Festival At that time, Li Zhenhua and Sheng Xuanhuai discussed and decided to convene all branch managers in Shanghai to report on this year's work. The Chinese year is different from the Gregorian calendar. First the Gregorian calendar year passes and then the lunar calendar year. This period is used to summarize last year and arrange the work for next year. First, the railway reported. Zhan Tianyou said to Li Zhenhua: "The railways now officially in operation are Fangcheng to Nanning, Nanning to Kunming, Tianjin to Tongzhou, Nanning to Guangzhou. Now they are mainly freight, and the guests are just some businessmen, officials, etc. Due to a large number of The freight railway has already begun to make a profit. If the investment is recovered, it will take about eight to ten years. The ones currently in trial operation are from Guangzhou to Shaoguan, 200 kilometers north and south of Changsha, 100 kilometers south of Wuchang, and more than 100 kilometers north of Hankou. There are more than 200 kilometers of trial operation lines from north to south in Zhengzhou, from Tianjin to Beijing, and from Beijing to Zhengding. It is estimated that the entire Shanghai-Nanjing line will be completed next year. Investment promotion work is currently underway for the two lines from Tianjin to Pukou. This line will soon be put into actual work, but it will not be until the Beijing-Guangzhou line is completed. "In terms of ocean transportation, the line has now been expanded to all Southeast Asian countries. The farthest route is India, and in rare cases, it can reach the Middle East every day. The income is about 20,000 taels of silver, and the number of ships has reached more than 20. The Rise of the Late Qing Dynasty Chapter 204 Making Full Use of Energy (Text) Text Chapter 205 Year-end Summary Main text Chapter 205 Year-end summary Chapter 205 Year-end summary Chapter 205 Year-end summary The number of inland water transport on the Yangtze River has reached twelve. The first line of the Yangtze River is basically ours. Qichang of the United States, Taikoo and Yihe of the United Kingdom have been abandoned by us. If you open it, you can earn more than 6,000 silver dollars a day. This year we have set up our own insurance company to insure all ships and cargo to prevent losses from being compensated in time after accidents. They have now accumulated more than 5.6 million silver dollars in funds. Airship transportation has now expanded to most major cities in the country. Its main task is to deliver urgent items to some merchants. The current revenue is not very high, mainly in cooperation with the geographical survey operations of the military, railways, shipping, etc. But we are There is no loss. In terms of arms trading, this year¡¯s revenue has reached more than 20 million silver dollars. All the previous French weapons have been sold, and all the troops have been replaced by self-produced weapons. Jiangnan Machinery Company has already had initial income of only more than 600,000 silver dollars, while Jinling Machinery Company has only more than 500,000 silver dollars. The banking industry has expanded its business to all major domestic cities and some small and medium-sized states, counties and towns. We have branches wherever our ships go in foreign markets. Now we have accumulated more than 14 million silver dollars in self-owned funds. This is mainly due to the relatively high fees for the government's silver exchange, plus some loan income. However, our own enterprises pay too much interest. However, it has now received deposits of nearly 30 million silver dollars, many of which are personal deposits of Qing government officials. Most of them use anonymous deposits. The current business volume has exceeded that of most foreign banks and currently there are no non-performing loans. Regarding expenditures, Wang Xin said that this year¡¯s expenditures were very large, reaching more than 60 million silver dollars. But there was no bad investment phenomenon. Mainly, other enterprises invested 13 million silver dollars in railways and 12 million silver dollars in military investment. After listening to everyone's reports, Li Zhenhua felt confident that he would not be afraid of next year's war. It would be enough to invest less next year. The preparations were almost complete. The entire economy was functioning well and there were no other problems. Li Zhenhua briefly summarized it first. Let everyone take a break and he needs to sort out the situation. On the military side, the report is made separately. Several people in his staff office have all the information: there are now eight infantry divisions in total. There are two divisions in the entire southwest region. In Southeast Asia, there are three divisions. In the east camp, there are two divisions for city defense and one division. Weapons are in They are the most advanced in the world, and no one is afraid of them. They are all food in one's mouth. The key is not the weapons, but the morale of the soldiers and the concept of new combat. This is something that no one can compare with. For the navy, the newly purchased "Huashan", the "Taishan", plus the newly built "Tianshan" and "Songshan" are four main ships. Even the two "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River" are not planned to Let them go out to fight. The captains of several ships are: Captain Sa Zhenbing of the "Tianshan" (he also serves as the principal of the naval school). This is Deng Shichang's flagship and Sa Zhenbing is also Deng Shichang's deputy commander. The captain of "Songshan", Liu Hai, and the captain of "Huashan" are Huang Tao, a young naval officer who returned from the United States. The captain of "Taishan" is Zhang Chong, who came from Fujian. Shao Bing, the captain of the Yangtze River, and Qiao Yong, the captain of the Yellow River, are the best students at the Tianjin Naval Academy. The commander of the submarine force is Luo Shijun. He never wanted to be a shipwright, but asked Li Zhenhua many times to become a navy. So Li Zhenhua made him the commander of the submarine force. Now they have four submarines of one type and six of the second type. They can go out for 600 nautical miles on their own. If they are used to block Japanese ports, the Japanese will never even think of it. The commander of the airship unit is a young man named Feng Ylong. His capable men are Cai Xinhua, the former flight leader of the No. 34 airship, and the outstanding Dai warrior Dao Dashan. The means they currently use to attack warships is to directly drop aerial bombs and torpedoes. Each ship has two bombs on board, but the technology is still immature. The attack on personnel on the surface of warships is Hotchkiss heavy machine guns. It's so satisfying to ravage the enemy above them while they have no way to do anything about themselves. Seeing that his military power is so strong, Li Zhenhua is relieved that he can take a big shot at Japan next year. It can be said that he has already secured victory. The small team preparing to enter Japan has also been established. It is composed of some special forces sergeants from the military academy. They have good physical fitness, good personal tactics, and good coordination with each other. They can master various light and heavy weapons proficiently. They have also been trained on airships, naval warships and armed swimming to become an all-round combat force. Even though they only have over a hundred people, Li Zhenhua wants them to be used as a battalion or even a regiment.??. Their captain is a young man who is only twenty-six years old this year. His name is Shang Hai. Li Zhenhua knows this is his pseudonym. Unexpectedly, there are some special soldiers among them. It turns out that these special soldiers are advanced talents in Japanese. They can not only communicate with civilians, but also with the royal family and nobles. Under their guidance, other soldiers can also talk. There is no problem if you pretend to be Japanese for some daily Japanese conversations. Preparations for the Japanese side have been completed, and there should be a result for the British matter. Li Zhenhua immediately notified the intelligence station in the UK and immediately asked Xue Fucheng to toughen his attitude and sign the treaty with the British as soon as possible so that he would not be distracted from the British side. things. Feng Yingqing's intelligence said: The Japanese instigated the "Dongxue Party" in North Korea to revolt and used this opportunity to send troops to North Korea to assassinate the Qing government. Then they would most likely attack the Qing army in North Korea and then further expand the war to the sea and the North Sea. The navy launched a surprise attack. Annihilating the Qing's Beiyang Navy in one fell swoop and launching an invasion of mainland China. We already know the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese, so all our troops must be prepared for all wars to severely attack the Japanese invasion, eliminate them on our soil, and launch a series of attacks on their country until they are finally defeated. Completely annihilate them so that they will never be able to stand up again and will always be our subordinates. Text Chapter 206 Formation of Artillery Division Text Chapter 206 Formation of Artillery Division Chapter 206 Formation of Artillery Division Chapter 206 Formation of Artillery Division From now on, the army will enter war and prepare to cancel vacations and intensify training to prepare for war at any time. Now, I would like to ask Sheng Xuanhuai to give you a report on this year's work and explain what should be done next year. Economically, we will accelerate progress in the first half of the year. No new investment projects are ongoing. We must seize the time to pool funds and prepare them for unified use. At the same time, the Japanese government will The information about taking action against North Korea should be made known to everyone and everyone should be prepared. From now on, all units must be ready to obey orders at any time and be ready to support the war. When the time comes, all the needs of the war will be obeyed. As soon as necessary, we can have people, money and transportation. Go and fight this battle well. Modern war is all about logistical support. Whoever has no problem with logistical support will win. Otherwise, even if he loses, his own logistics must be guaranteed, but the Japanese's logistical support must be cut off by them. Not only would their transportation lines be cut off, but their backyards would be on fire and they would be doomed in one fell swoop. Li Zhenhua asked Liu Yongqiang, who was in charge of logistics, to stay. He had to prepare with him a large amount of war materials that needed to be transported to Dongying and then prepare for Weihai. Liu Yongqiang, who was in charge of this work, was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to it and had to say more to him. "War is an art." Li Zhenhua forgot which master-level person said it. The First World War with Japan was related to the future problems for the Qing government. Now he nominally does not have an army, but he does have a security force, so now he We don't plan to send troops to Korea yet. If the entire war against Japan is to be fought by ourselves, then we have to use the power of Beiyang. But we must also let the people know that we are fighting it ourselves and we can't count on the Qing government to count on them. Then we can only do it. The fate of a country that is destroyed and a species destroyed. Chapter d) Also, in the future, the only way to win over Japan¡¯s policy issues is to find a way to get Japan into our own hands instead of letting it return to the hands of the Qing government. You need to carefully discuss how to fight in your own interests. Then invite the senior cadres in your party to discuss it together, but you must first have a preliminary plan to tell everyone so that everyone can discuss, study and develop it on this basis. So Li Zhenhua immediately asked the guards to send a telegram to Tang Jiong and others, and asked Fangcheng to send warships to escort them to Shanghai for a meeting to discuss the matter. After everything is done, Li Zhenhua and Liu Yongqiang discuss together the issue of transporting troops and supplies to Dongying. The troops can only have those two divisions, but we can't fight them for our lives. We have to use our advanced weapons and ammunition to destroy them. Liu Yongqiang wanted to form one or two more artillery regiments in Dongying. Li Zhenhua decided to simply form an artillery division and first serve as the division commander himself, so that he could concentrate his firepower against the enemy. This artillery unit is mainly the 150 cannon or the 105 cannon. Those small mortars have been assigned to the infantry units below and can be strengthened if necessary. The staff department made a request to form another cavalry regiment to be used as a rapid force. To be honest, Li Zhenhua was not very interested in this cavalry unit, but considering that it was the logistical support required for local operations, it was not too troublesome. At the same time, in modern society, cavalry is a kind of The rapid army still has its existence value, so I agreed, but the horses cannot be used from the south. They can only use horses from the north. They also have adaptation problems, so they have to discuss with Li Hongzhang and ask him to buy a batch of military horses on his behalf. It doesn't need to be more than two battalions. The remaining battalions will be replaced by cars. This is also a new attempt to see what kind of equipment is ready and use it. Anyway, in the future, all horses will be replaced by cars. Three days later, people from Fangcheng arrived. Tang Jiong, Wang Chi, Feng Zicai, Liu Yongfu and others all arrived. Li Zhenhua personally went to the port to pick them up. When he saw Wang Chi and Feng Zicai, he immediately said to them: "You two are so old. I really shouldn¡¯t have to work for you two.¡± Feng Zicai said to Li Zhenhua: ¡°I don¡¯t have to come for other things, but I have to come for the war with Japan.¡± Wang Chi also said: ¡°On the way. It¡¯s very convenient to just take the train. If it had been like this, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to come.¡± After everyone took a break, Li Zhenhua immediately chaired the meeting. Li Zhenhua talked about the war with Japan and invited everyone to speak. Feng Zicai first said: "In the battle against Japan, we have to fight. Since it is a fight, we must hit them hard. If they don't let them recover, they will be beaten to death." Liu Yongfu also said: "What you gave us I often read the reference materials, but I agree with General Feng¡¯s opinion that we must hit them hard so that they can¡¯t stand up for decades. The main reason is how to deal with Japan¡¯s problems in the future.¡± Tang Jiong continued: ¡°The fight must be hard. hit themBut General Li invited us here not only to fight, but the key is to deal with future issues. I agree with General Li¡¯s opinion. Let¡¯s capture Japan in our hands first, then wait and see the changes within the Qing government, and then we can find ways to obtain greater benefits. . ¡± Tang Jiong said this, everyone began to understand what Li Zhenhua was thinking in his heart. Yes, we spent a long time to defeat the Japanese, and they in turn surrendered to the Qing government. It would be bad if they surrendered to us and then captured Japan. The issue with the Qing government will be dealt with later in our hands. After some discussion, people unanimously agreed with Li Zhenhua¡¯s opinion to eliminate the Japanese navy and control it. Then we should focus on the internal changes in the Qing government. Then we should focus on the public opinion issue in Shanghai. The "Morning Bell" newspaper must promptly release future war news and business information to the whole country. It is also an organ within the party and will create public opinion in the society. Just ask Sheng Xuanhuai to take charge of this matter. The old man rested here for a few more days and went around to play. He was observing the problems on the British side. This telegraph line is quite busy now. There are news from the British side almost every day, mainly about negotiations with Britain. Negotiations on the issue were progressing smoothly. At the same time, Li Zhenhua also asked Sheng Xuanhuai to contact Johnson in the United States and ask him to invite Nikola Tesla, a scientist from St. Louis, Missouri, to China on the condition that he be given a physics laboratory to help. He started wireless communications. Text Chapter 207 The Donghak Party Uprising in North Korea Text Chapter 207: The Donghak Party Uprising in North Korea Chapter 207: The Donghak Party Uprising in North Korea Chapter 207: The Donghak Party Uprising in North Korea It turns out that it was just last year in 1893 that Nikola Tesla (nite) first made public in St. Louis, Missouri, USA Demonstrated radio communication. Baidu Search (Hand Typed Chapter) He described and demonstrated the basic principles of radio communication in a report to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and the National Electric Light Association. The instrument he built contained all the basic principles of radio systems before the invention of the vacuum tube. This was a major breakthrough for military use. Li Zhenhua was determined to use it in his own army in advance. Johnson came to Nikola Tesla and talked to him about inviting him to go to China. Nikola Tesla was very interested in the conditions offered by Johnson. He immediately stopped his work and came with his assistants and a lot of things. When they got off the ship in Shanghai, Li Zhenhua cordially received them and the two of them. We had a cordial conversation together, and some of Li Zhenhua's ideas greatly increased Nikola Tesla's knowledge. He said to Li Zhenhua: "If you had given me some guidance earlier, I wouldn't have taken so many detours. Okay now." With your guidance, I will be able to make greater progress in wireless communications." There is a sign of "Wireless Communications Office" in front of a small building of the Institute of Physics in the scientific research area to the east of Jiangnan Machinery Company. The Americans moved in and they started working immediately. Li Zhenhua asked them to invite the best Western chef in Shanghai to serve them. According to Nikola Tesla's requirements, he purchased all the equipment and utensils he needed. This made Nikola Tesla Cora Tesla was very satisfied and said to Li Zhenhua: "I will give you my best results as soon as possible." Li Zhenhua said to him: "That's great, I'll be waiting for you." Feng When the Qing dynasty came, they reported to Li Zhenhua. The main issue they reported was Xue Fucheng's affairs in the UK. He negotiated with the British side on the "Renewal of the Yunnan-Myanmar Border Affairs and Commercial Clauses". This was a marathon negotiation. I knew that China's international status was low at that time. However, Xue Fucheng argued hard and refused to give in. The conditions raised by both sides were very high at first, and then they were gradually lowered. Now the British side is also starting to pay attention to Li Zhenhua. It turns out that Li Zhenhua is only in the south. The activities had no impact on the British, but now they have set foot on the Yangtze River. Although there was no direct conflict with the British, they quickly defeated the American Qichang and the British inland water transport was also affected. The two items of tea have also changed their predatory management, which cannot but attract their attention. Although there is no direct conflict, they have not received any military orders in China in recent years. It turns out that they have to submit to the Qing government every year. Some arms are sold, but due to the high quality and low price of Li Zhenhua's arms, and some domestic governors and governors, in order to protect Li Zhenhua's stinky feet, they no longer purchase arms from foreign countries. You must know that the benefits of arms transactions are the greatest. Coming here means they will earn much less income. Seeing that Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Group Company was prospering, they were powerless and had to slowly make some concessions. So now Xue Fucheng's negotiations are going smoothly, but the British side has stopped the negotiations again. Now Xue Fucheng is waiting for them. Li Zhenhua said to them: "We must find a way to get Xue Fucheng to solve the problem as soon as possible without delaying it for too long, which is not good for us." Yes, the big thing next year is that the Sino-Japanese War is decided. Don't let them affect us. The war against Japan. On March 1, Xue Fucheng finally signed the "Renewal of the Yunnan-Myanmar Border Affairs and Commercial Terms" with the United Kingdom on behalf of China. Over the past half century, Sino-British negotiations have mostly ended with the signing of unequal treaties. But this time, Xue Fucheng used international public law as the basis for both tenacity and flexibility, forcing the strongest country in the West to recognize China's legitimate demands. This was really China's solution. It was an unprecedented success in diplomacy. Emperor Guangxu also praised him and said: "Xue has done a very good job." Li Zhenhua put aside the British problems. He called people's attention to Xue Fucheng's whereabouts. It is estimated that he will return to the country and let the London personnel of the Intelligence Department be responsible for the whole process. Protect him. Just after the holiday, the uprising of the Eastern Hakus Party members broke out. "Golden bottles of fine wine, thousands of people's blood, plates of delicacies, and thousands of surnames. When the tears of the candles fall, the people's tears fall and the songs are loud and the complaints are loud." This ballad widely recited in North Korea is the story of the North Korean ruling class at the end of the 19th century, who expropriated and expropriated the people, and the people were in dire straits. A portrait of struggling life. Even the Russian Minister to China, Cassini, also warned the Tsar: "The whole of Korea has been suffering from heavy and growing anger for quite some time. This anger can easily turn into open violence." The leader of "Dong Xuedao" in Fu County. Although the uprising he led centered on Donghak Dao disciples and continued to use the banner of Donghak Dao, it no longer had much religious meaning, so it was generally called the Donghak Party Uprising in history. There was a reason why the Dongxue Party uprising broke out in Gufu County, Luo Road. The governor of the county, Zhao Bingjia, is a famous person.The officials took advantage of him and robbed the peasants with hatred. In 1894, the Wanshi Water Tax Incident triggered the uprising. Gufu County is North Korea's main rice-producing area. Water conservancy and irrigation are crucial. North Korea has a unique water conservancy facility made of wood, stone or earth and sand that is used to intercept water and irrigate farmland called ›š. There are two types of ownership: state-owned and private. Wan Shihu is a state-owned farm. Farmers divert water from the state-owned farm to irrigate the land and must pay a certain water tax. As usual, this water tax revenue is only used for water management and other related undertakings and is not turned over to the national treasury. After Zhao Bingjia took office, he recruited tens of thousands of peasants to repair the land. After the project was completed, Zhao Bingjia not only increased the water tax but also pocketed the water tax. The people were dissatisfied and asked him to reason with him, but Zhao Bingjia shut himself up and disappeared. The people complained to Jeolla Province's observation envoy Kim Moon-hyun but were arrested. The people couldn't bear it anymore and revolted. On February 15, hundreds of people, led by Quan Zhun, rushed to the county government office. The angry people held up shotguns, spears, broadswords, iron forks, hoes, and wooden sticks. Some even took out the ancestral swords that were usually kept in the hall. When Zhao Bingjia heard the news, he was so frightened that he ran away quickly. After the rebel army occupied the county government, they opened warehouses and distributed food and money to farmers. Jeolla Province¡¯s observation envoy Kim Moon-hyun immediately sent two hundred officers and soldiers to suppress the attack. The rebel army was defeated and the leading officer Li Genghao was killed. Text Chapter 208 The tense situation in North Korea Text Chapter 208 The tense situation in North Korea Chapter 208 The tense situation in North Korea Chapter 208 The tense situation in North Korea The rebel army won the first battle and their morale was high. They took advantage of the victory and pursued Jeonju, the capital of Jeolla Province. Many of the weapons of the peasants who joined the rebel army along the way have also been greatly improved. Soon Quan Zhun was elected as the governor, and Jin Deming was the military advisor. Two generals, Sun Hezhong and Jin Kainan, each led an army. The discipline of the rebel army is extremely strict. Smoking is not allowed, women are not allowed to damage fertile farmland, and violators are severely punished. The North Korean government was horrified when they received the report that the official army had been defeated by the insurrectionary army, and hurriedly sent Hong Qixun, the chief commander of the Zhuangwei Battalion of the Beijing Army, to lead the army to Quanzhou by land and water as a requisition envoy. Hong Qixun first issued a surrender letter to the insurgents and threatened him. But Quan Zhun not only refused to surrender, but also led his troops to sneak attack on Lingguang County and captured the defending officer Huang Wanji alive. When Hong Qixun saw that the surrender was unsuccessful, he decided to use force to suppress it. His troops underwent new training and were the only army in North Korea equipped with new Western weapons at that time. However, Hong Qixun felt that the rebel army was so powerful that he secretly reported to the court suggesting that foreign troops should be used to suppress it. The King of Korea was afraid of attracting wolves into the house and did not dare to borrow troops easily. He only sent 400 more reinforcements. Before the reinforcements arrived, the two armies exchanged fire at Yuepingdng, Changcheng County. Quan Yuzhun adopted the tactic of avoiding the real situation and not confronting the enemy head-on. He dragged the enemy from Yeonggwang to Heungdeok, from Heungdeok to Hampyeong, and then transferred to Jangseong County. The rebel army camped at Yuepingdng in the south of the city. The enemy was exhausted from long-distance pursuit and his morale was low. Not long after Xue Fucheng signed the "Renewal of the Yunnan-Myanmar Border Affairs and Commerce Clauses", his term of office also expired. On the evening of May 25, he left Paris, where he had worked for several years, and went straight to Marseille to board the ship returning home. In addition to his own In addition to his entourage, several Xinghua Group intelligence officers who had frequent contacts with him during this period also returned with him and took good care of his food and daily life along the way. Xue Fucheng was very moved. He repeatedly asked why he was so good to him? But those people repeatedly said that they didn't know that they had orders from above to take care of him. With the care of these young people, Xue Fucheng felt that his journey was no longer lonely, and long-term trips at sea seemed much faster when he chatted with them. On May 24, North Korean Hong Qixun led his troops to pursue them to Wolpyeong, only to see dense and lush jungles. Hong Qixun was afraid of an ambush, so he first sent a small force to test the truth and hid behind to observe the movement. The officers and soldiers walked into the woods tremblingly, only to hear a cry of killing and were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Hong Qixun saw the rebels, old and young, rushing out of the forest. Most of them were holding broadswords and spears. He suddenly became bold and jumped up and shouted: "Charge." The officers and soldiers had no choice but to turn around and charge. The rebels seemed to be vulnerable and fled. At this time, Hong Qixun was high-spirited and commanded the army to pursue them with all their strength. Unexpectedly, after chasing into the woods, countless rebels rushed out from all directions, and the sound of killing was loud. The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and were defeated and fled, leaving weapons scattered all over the ground. There were more than 200 casualties among the officers and soldiers, including Hong Qixun. The rebel army took advantage of the victory and marched into Jeonju, the capital of Jeolla Province. On the 31st, the rebel army approached Jeonju and occupied Wanshan Mountain. They used captured field artillery to bombard the city of Jeonju. At this time, all the troops in the state were transferred by Hong Qixun, and there were no troops stationed in the city. The observation led Jin Wenxuan to abandon the city and flee. On June 1, Quan Zhun led his troops into the city, confiscated government offices and the wealth of local tyrants, distributed them to the poor, and strictly prohibited harm to the common people. He was warmly welcomed by the people. After Jeon E-jun occupied Jeonju, the Donghak Taoist disciples in Chungcheong and Gyeongsang provinces responded to the rebel army and took control of the three southern provinces of Korea and established their own political institutions. The North Korean government was unable to suppress it and had to ask the Qing government for help. The Japanese government has long been paying close attention to the development of the situation in North Korea, waiting for the opportunity to send troops to North Korea, and then creating excuses to provoke war between China and Japan. Now the time has finally arrived. When the Qing government was invited to send troops to Korea to suppress the Dongxue Party uprising, the impatient Japanese troops quickly crossed the sea and landed in southern Korea. After extinguishing the flames of the uprising, their target was directed at the Qing army. On the evening of July 1, Xue Fucheng finally arrived in Shanghai. Because Xue Fucheng was already sick, he suffered from the intense heat of the Red Sea and the typhoon in the Fujian Ocean along the way. He was so exhausted that he stayed in bed as soon as he arrived in Shanghai. Because Li Zhenhua sent someone to help him in advance, he did not collapse when he was picked up by the ship in Shanghai. His Xinghua Group personnel immediately took him to the newly built Xinghua Hospital in Shanghai, where President Yao Wanqiu personally presided over a comprehensive physical examination. Li Zhenhua ordered the best Chinese and Western doctors in Shanghai to consult with him, and he must be protected. He is one of the most capable diplomatic talents in modern China. For such an official of the Qing Dynasty, many people think that there is no need to spend such a large sum of money for him. But Li Zhenhua doesn't think so. He knows that Xue Fucheng himself is an anti-French hero. When Guba, the commander of the French expeditionary force, won a great victory in the Battle of Mawei Sea. After that, he went straight to Taiwan and was chased away by Taiwan Governor Liu Mingchuan. He then invaded Zhenhai (Ningbo) in Zhejiang Province. At that time, Xue Fucheng commanded the army in Zhenhai and defeated Guba's expeditionary force with powerful coastal defense artillery fire. Guba was injured at the same time and finally died. And now that he has finally succeeded in negotiating with the British without losing national interests, he must protect him and he will be his capable assistant in the future. Under the careful treatment of Shanghai Hospital, Xue Fucheng's body recovered quickly. Li Zhenhua went to the hospital in person to visit Xue Fucheng and said kindly to him: "Your body is fine now, but you'd better rest for a while before arriving." Go to Beijing to report on your work and ask for your personal opinion. Should you recuperate in Shanghai or go back to your hometown in Wuxi?" Only then did Xue Fucheng realize that the person who had been helping and caring for him was a well-known person in China. The prince-in-law, Yunnan General Li Zhenhua, politely declined the invitation to go to the north and decided to return to his hometown in Wuxi on the shore of Taihu Lake to recuperate for a while. He followed Li Zhenhua's arrangement and sent a telegram of illness to the court and then went to recuperate himself. Li Zhenhua put aside Xue Fucheng's affairs and continued to pay attention to the situation in North Korea. Some readers asked: "The war is about to start. As a general preparing for battle, why doesn't Li Zhenhua go to the north or stay in Shanghai?" In fact, Li Zhenhua can fully observe the entire situation here, and he also wants to stabilize the situation. Those Japanese spies. Now the Qing army and the Japanese army in North Korea both have more than 10,000 troops. The top commander of the Qing army is Ye Zhichao, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, and the general of Taiyuan Town, Nie Shicheng, led 2,500 Huai troops into North Korea. In addition, Yuan Shikai's troops who were originally in North Korea were stationed in the northern part of North Korea centered on Pyongyang. The Japanese army has now occupied Jeju and nearby areas. Text Chapter 209 Operation ¡°Sunset¡± Text Chapter 209 "Operation Sunset" Chapter 209 "Operation Sunset" Chapter 209 Operation "Sunset" Since the Donghak Party's uprising has ended, the North Korean government requested China to withdraw its troops on June 13 in order to eliminate Japan's excuse for sending troops. Ye Zhichao accepted North Korea's demands and prepared to leave Asan within a certain period of time. The Qing government demanded that Japan withdraw its troops at the same time. Although Japan has lost the excuse to send troops to North Korea, it is still determined to escalate the incident and cause the breakdown of Sino-Japanese relations. It not only refuses to withdraw its troops, but continues to send more troops to North Korea and proposes a so-called plan to jointly "reform" North Korea's internal affairs in order to prevent Japanese troops from leaving North Korea. It has the dual purpose of holding back the squadron. On July 12, Mutsu telegraphed to Oshima: "At present, it is necessary to take decisive measures" and "you may use any excuse to start practical actions immediately." After receiving the instruction, Otori successively made tough demands to coerce the North Korean government on the 19th and 20th. Abolish the Sino-North Korean trade treaty and expel the squadron from the country. On the 23rd, the Japanese army captured the Joseon Palace and detained King Yi Xi and established a puppet government headed by Daewonjun Li Shiying. On the 25th, Oshima ordered Daewongun to announce the abolition of all commercial treaties between China and North Korea and "authorize" the Japanese army to expel the Qing troops stationed in Asan. Faced with Japan¡¯s large-scale troop surge, the Qing government also ordered Li Hongzhang to send more troops to North Korea. Li Zhenhua also explained to Li Hongzhang that they must prepare for the Japanese in advance, so the Qing army began to send more troops to North Korea from the sea. But what Li Hongzhang didn't expect was that the Japanese started an undeclared war at this time. In early July, facing the increasingly tough attitude of the Japanese, Li Zhenhua held his pre-war meeting. First, he carried out pre-war mobilization. Then at the meeting, Li Zhenhua issued a series of orders: "From now on, Sheng Xuanhuai will sit in Shanghai and be fully responsible for defense. The production and economic work of Fangcheng, Shanghai, Dongying and all domestic enterprises. Baidu search (hand type chapter) "Fangcheng Navy Commander Deng Shichang led his two cruisers "Songshan" and "Huashan" into Weihai Beiyang Navy. Commander Deng Shichang went to Shanghai port to pick up the headquarters of the two warships "Tianshan" and "Taishan" stationed in Dongying to meet with Taiwan Governor Liu Mingchuan. After that, they were on standby at the port to prepare for the implementation of the "sunset" combat plan. The six new type II submarines of the unit went to implement the "Sunset" combat plan. " "The airship unit Feng Ylong led the troops into wartime and carried merchant ships into Dongying under the protection of warships to implement the "Sunset" combat plan. " "Staff, Logistics, intelligence and other departments will accompany the general headquarters to conduct battlefield command nearby. ""The special forces will go to the north with the headquarters." "Counterintelligence organizations from all over the country are ready to enter the place that has been agreed in advance to obey the order and prepare for unification. Action. " Relevant staff members recorded Li Zhenhua's orders and released them one by one through various channels. Xinghua Group's war preparations began to move quickly. The warship raised fire and anchored, and the submarine began to hang ropes on the warship and tow the airship to begin loading. The relevant logistics units boarded the cargo ship and headed north to start intense secret transportation work. The Japanese Intelligence Department in China also revealed to Li Zhenhua that the Japanese army was about to take action in North Korea, and their superiors asked Li Zhenhua to pay close attention to the Qing government. Xiao Fei, the representative of Li Zhenhua, agreed to provide them with information as soon as possible. "What is the communication distance that the wireless communication equipment of the Institute of Physics can now communicate at?" Li Zhenhua asked Yang Fan, the staff officer in charge of intelligence, and said immediately: "The previous day. They have already conducted a ten-kilometer test. "Okay, let's take a look right away." Li Zhenhua and his party rushed to the Eastern Institute of Physics in a car. He hadn't seen Nikola Tesla in a few months. When things got better, he happily rushed towards Li Zhenhua. Although Li Zhenhua didn't like the way they hugged him, he happily chatted with him. They walked into his laboratory, Nikola Tesla happily. He said to Li Zhenhua: "Dear Li, our communication distance has exceeded ten kilometers now." "That's great. How many units can you assemble for me now?" "If the materials are OK, we can start mass production right away. " "No, the distance is still a little closer now. I want them to be farther away, smaller and more refined. Now you just give me fifteen units." "That's no problem. I'll be fine in three days. I can give it to you." "Okay, I'll give you three days to assemble fifteen units for me. " "Li, the people you sent are so awesome. They are really good at learning. They know everything now. They will soon assemble fifteen units for you. "Three days later at night, a Fangcheng Navy warship quietly entered the dock of the Shanghai Shipyard. They did not enter the public dock, and they did not have themselves on the warship."Instead, the dragon flag was the Chilean naval flag in South America. Li Zhenhua knew that they were taking confidentiality measures to prevent intelligence personnel from other countries from discovering that this was a Chilean warship. No one would doubt it. A group of people boarded the warship, and those responsible for installing and using communication equipment also boarded the warship. The warship quickly left the dock of the Shanghai Shipyard without any further stop. When they arrived, the navy ship towed the submarines aboard and continued toward Weihai. There are no Japanese warships in this area. They have all gone to North Korea. What they want to deal with is the Beiyang Navy. They have already let go of the East China Sea. The Japanese have not yet considered the issue of sea control. They are just focused on Just deal with the Beiyang Navy. After the warship sailed quickly for more than 20 hours, they arrived at Dongying. They had already notified the Beiyang Navy to prepare for the battle against Japan. Ding Ruchang had already agreed. This made Ding Ruchang feel relieved a lot. They were here to help him. Then the life of little Japan will not be easy. The first communication equipment on the warship has been installed, and the others have been removed and distributed to other warships. The rest have all been installed on cars. By daybreak, the radio stations on several warships had been installed. Li Zhenhua asked them to conduct an on-site test, so the warship "Songshan" sailed out. Li Zhenhua boarded Deng Shichang's flagship "Huashan". The communicator kept saying "Taishan". When the sound of "No." was finally no longer heard, Li Zhenhua and Deng Shichang looked at each other. Eight nautical miles is about fifteen kilometers. The propagation on the water is farther. In addition, the antenna on the warship is more than ten meters high, and there is no other signal. Interference would definitely be much better. Text Chapter 210 Japan¡¯s undeclared war Text Chapter 210 Japan's Undeclared War Chapter 210 Japan's Undeclared War Chapter 210 Japan's Undeclared War It would be worse if it were a submarine. If it were there, it would be about ten kilometers away. When Li Zhenhua knew these data, he immediately made arrangements based on these data. Each warship is equipped with a radio station. Each submarine is equipped with an airship. Each unit is equipped with an airship. The army unit can only be assembled as needed. The army unit can only be a division or a unit. Installation requires a car to load them. The current thing is too big. The antenna alone is more than ten meters high and the total weight is nearly one ton. It needs to be installed on a car at least. The staff worked together and installed all the radios on the cars so that effective command and movement could be carried out. However, the infantry division's wired telephones still had to be used. Li Zhenhua here is nervously preparing to go to war with the Japanese, but the people in Beijing are looking at a peaceful scene. The sixtieth celebration they have prepared for the Queen Mother is also in full swing. The time has entered the countdown and there are still a few months to go. Are any of those ministers not in a hurry? Although Li Zhenhua was very angry, at this time he was too busy with anything to do. Who would have the time to take care of those trivial things? The year of Jiawu coincided with the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty. d The Qing government planned to allocate 30 million taels of special funds to hold a grand birthday celebration ceremony for the Empress Dowager Cixi. Officials in Beijing, big and small, were like crazy trying to find ways to get money in order to give the Empress Dowager Cixi a generous gift. The pleasure of this "Queen". There is a square-shaped two-story corner building in the northwest corner and northeast corner of Xisikou in Beijing. The northeast corner building of the Chinese Bookstore in the northwest corner is now the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. This second floor was built in 1992 as a birthday celebration project for Empress Dowager Cixi to celebrate her 60th birthday, which is now a political achievement project. The 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi was November 7, 1994, which was the tenth day of the tenth month of the Jiawu Year. Preparations for the grand celebration began two years ago. Cixi's behavior in her later years was deliberately imitated by Qianlong. In his later years, Qianlong built Ningshou Palace in preparation for passing the throne to his son Jiaqing and then becoming the Supreme Emperor. When Cixi was 9 years old and 55 years old, she announced that she would withdraw from the palace and return to power, and then moved into Ningshou Palace to live in Ningshou Palace. Qianlong went to the Old Summer Palace to celebrate his birthday and put on a grand display along the way. Cixi also planned to go to the Summer Palace to enjoy the scenery. Cixi's specific plan is to receive congratulations from the princes and ministers in the palace on the morning of her 60th birthday, and then drive out of the palace in a large queue. Go west through Xinjiekou of North Street and go straight to the Summer Palace. ?????????????? Then listen to a great opera and have a big banquet in the Summer Palace. To this end, Cixi ordered the Minister of Military Affairs and Prince Shiduo to serve as the general organizer of the celebration. In addition to properly preparing the palace and the Summer Palace in accordance with the Qianlong style, he also decorated the scenery along the dozens of miles of the avenue from Xihua Palace to the Summer Palace and built sutra altars and altars. The stage, color hall, and archway organized monks, Taoists, chanting, and theater troupes to perform and entertain her on the way. This is the "attraction" project to celebrate her birthday. The two corner buildings at the intersection of Xisi Road were built during this "attraction" project. The purpose of building this building is firstly to cover up the unsightly residential buildings behind, secondly to add a festive atmosphere and thirdly to set up warnings at the commanding heights upstairs. You must know that the Empress Dowager Cixi was very afraid of death. The situation in North Korea is changing every day. The Japanese army began to actively attack the Qing army. They first took over Yashan, which was originally guarded by the Qing army, and took it under their own hands. Ye Zhichao, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, was now escaping for the first time. He was abandoned. Asan bypassed Seoul and ran to Pyongyang himself, but the Qing government entrusted him with an important task at this time and ordered him to stick to Pyongyang and command the entire Qing army in North Korea. Nie Shicheng, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan, was only a commander-in-chief. He was not as high as Ye Zhi, so he could only be controlled by him. At this time, Li Zhenhua's reminder to Li Hongzhang was of no use. The court had already bypassed Li Hongzhang and directly took over the military command. This was the same as the old Chiang Kai-shek. Direct command follows. When China and Japan sent troops to North Korea at the same time, the North Korean government had accepted the request made by the Donghak Party rebel army and the two sides signed a truce and peace treaty, and the rebel army withdrew from Jeonju. The Korean Civil War had actually come to a halt and the Qing army did not engage in battle with the Donghak Party rebels. In order to eliminate Japan's excuse for sending troops, the North Korean government asked China to withdraw its troops on June 13. Ye Zhichao's troops were preparing to leave Asan within a certain period of time, and the Qing government demanded that Japan withdraw its troops at the same time. Although Japan has lost the excuse to send troops to North Korea, it is still determined to escalate the incident and cause the breakdown of Sino-Japanese relations. Not only does it refuse to withdraw its troops, but it continues to send more troops to North Korea and proposes a so-called plan to jointly "reform" North Korea's internal affairs so that even if the Japanese troops remain in North Korea, they will not leave. It serves the dual purpose of holding back the squadron. On July 12, Foreign Minister Mutsu telegraphed the Japanese Minister to North Korea Oshima: "It is necessary to take decisive measures at present" and "you may use any excuse to start practical actions immediately." After receiving the instruction, Otori continued on the 19th and 20th. Put forward tough demands to coerce the North Korean government to abrogate the China-North Korea trade treaty and ask the Japanese army to help North Korea expel the squadron from the country. On the 23rd, the Japanese army captured the Korean palace and detained the country.Li Xi established a puppet government headed by Li Shiying, the king of the court. On the 25th, Otori ordered Daewongun to announce the abolition of all commercial agreements between China and North Korea and "authorize" the Japanese troops stationed in Korea to expel the Qing troops stationed in Asan. On the same day, July 25, 1894, Japanese warships launched a surprise attack on the Chinese navy in the Toshima Sea. What happened was that Li Hongzhang sent four merchant ships to transport troops and military supplies to North Korea. The first two ships transporting troops successfully arrived in North Korea. At this time, the "Jiyuan" ship commander Fang Boqian led the "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" ships to escort the ships. Fang Boqian saw that the infantry on the two ships had begun to land. He ordered the "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" ships to return. However, when their warships were on their way back, they discovered that the "Jiang" was transporting a large number of troops and two thousand infantry. The British merchant ship "Gaosheng" had just arrived. Fang Boqian was afraid that he would encounter a Japanese warship. He was eager to return and thought that he had completed the mission. He asked the two ships to go to the Korean port by themselves, but he ordered the "Jiyuan" ship and the "Guangyi" ship. Returning. When "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" arrived at the sea surface of Toshima, the lookout reported to him that three Japanese warships were spotted in the distance and were rushing towards them. The three Japanese warships "Yoshino" and "Yoshino" were coming towards them. "Akitsusu" and "Lng Su" ordered the three ships to fire at the "Jiyuan" at the same time. Hangsan ordered the Japanese ships to separate from "Akijin Island" and fire at "Guangyi". Soon "Guangyi" caught fire and sank soon after. Text Chapter 211 The Battle of Toshima Text Chapter 211 Battle of Toshima Chapter 211 Battle of Toshima Chapter 211 Battle of Toshima When the captain of the "Jiyuan" ship Captain Fang Boqian saw him, he hurriedly withdrew from the battle and began to retreat towards Liugong Island. Kozo Tsuboi ordered "Akitsusu" " and "Lng Su" pursued and began to attack the "Jiang" and "Gaosheng" Japanese ships "Yoshino" and the "Jiyuan" ship pursuing Fang Boqian alone. When Fang Boqian saw that "Yoshino" was catching up, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hang up. White flag, but he did not stop the ship but accelerated and ran away. "Yoshino" continued to pursue them and wanted to sink the "Jiyuan". At this time, the gunners on the "Jiyuan" ship saw that the officer was about to escape. They gave up and let the Japanese go anyway. The warship failed to catch up, so it spontaneously opened fire on the Japanese warship "Yoshino" with its rear main gun. It hit the Japanese ship's control tower and then hit the "Yoshino"'s boiler. The "Yoshino" had to withdraw from the battle after bearing the heavy responsibility. Jiyuan" did not take the opportunity to sink the "Yoshino" but accelerated out of the battle alone. Two submarines from the Fangcheng Navy had already been patrolling here. When they saw three Japanese warships rushing over, they thought Fang Boqian would agree with him. They fought, but they did not expect that Fang Boqian would run away so quickly. They were not able to cooperate with the "Jiyuan" to fight. Their speed was not good, and their firepower was not good. There was only one Mn 37 cannon on the submarine, which could only scratch the warship. Itching and others were unable to help the Beiyang Navy. They used the combat power of their two submarines to fight three warships. Only fools would do this, so they did not take action. By this time, the Jiang and Gaosheng had been sunk. When the army soldiers were about to sink, they were still firing at the enemy warships with rifles. The Japanese warships continued to fire at the fallen soldiers with heavy machine guns and artillery, leaving no one alive. When the submarine arrived, there was no one alive on the sea. On the same day, the Japanese Army launched an attack on the Asan Squadron, finally provoking this aggressive war. When things got to this point, the Qing government had no choice but to declare war on Japan on August 1, 1894 (the first day of the seventh lunar month). On the same day, the Japanese government also declared war on the Qing government. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, which they had planned for many years, began. After reading this information, Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "As in history, the Japanese are determined to continue gambling." At the same time, he was complaining to Li Hongzhang, "You won't listen to me, won't you send out all your Beiyang Navy?" Don¡¯t you feel sorry for the more than 2,000 Huai army brothers on board the "Gaosheng"? At the same time, he also felt that he had not handled the fighter well and that Li Hongzhang had lost a lot of people in vain. Sun Feihu arranged a mourning hall for the Huai Army soldiers who died. People around Li Zhenhua spontaneously paid homage to his compatriots. Li Zhenhua said to them: "You must keep these hatreds firmly in your hearts. Those Japanese have committed against our country." We must make them pay for all kinds of crimes with blood." Li Zhenhua asked the Tianjin Intelligence Station to send 400,000 silver dollars to Li Hongzhang, saying that it was used to compensate the two thousand Huai Army soldiers. Li Hongzhang sent a telegram to Li Zhenhua: "I regret that I did not listen to the general's words and caused the death of thousands of Huai Army soldiers. From now on, I will definitely listen to the general's words and take strict precautions against the Japanese." At the same time, he also dealt with Fang Boqian. . Li Zhenhua was very concerned about the soldiers in Pyongyang at this time, but at this time he wanted to keep an eye on the Japanese naval battle, but he was determined to rescue the soldiers who were left behind because of Ye Zhichao's escape. If you think about it, the large army will not be able to do it, it will be easily exposed. If the army is small and ineffective, it seems that you can only rely on the special forces to use it here. Although Li Zhenhua felt a little reluctant, he was still determined to let them out. . Although Li Zhenhua knew about the war on the Korean Peninsula on September 15, he ordered Shang Hai to lead the special forces to set off at the end of August on a small gunboat to Dalian and then enter the Yalu River. He directly disembarked on the east bank of the Yalu River and penetrated into the secret north of Pyongyang. Stay there and wait until the war breaks out. If Ye Zhichao doesn't run away, he will cover their retreat. If he wants to run away, he will be responsible for taking in those soldiers who have fallen behind and who refuse to retreat, and cover their retreat safely. In the evening, more than a hundred people boarded a small gunboat. Li Zhenhua personally came to deliver them. The soldiers were all covered with rifles, pistols, grenades, mortars, etc. They were all weapons that the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy next to them had never seen before. I greatly admire these people. They dare to go to the front line with more than a hundred people, which is something I cannot do. Together they raised their hands and saluted the soldiers who were not soldiers. The soldiers also raised their hands to them. The "Songshan" escorted them directly to Lushun and then into the Yalu River. They didn't carry them because the radio was too bulky. After two days of sea voyage, they disembarked on the east bank of the Yalu River. Then the march began. Along the way, they moved forward at a rapid march. When we met the Qing army on the road, no one paid attention to them. It was not until they were nearly a hundred miles away from Pyongyang that the Qing army asked them what they were doing. They took out the official documents of the Beiyang Navy and told them that we were performing official duties in Korea. Look at these. They are obviously not soldiers.They were wearing colorful clothes, but each of them had a new-style hat on their head, and they were carrying a helmet and a backpack on their backs. But their every move was in the style of a soldier, and their weapons except I have never seen anything other than rifles. The soldiers of the Qing army just handed them goodbye and were full of admiration. There was already a fight over there, but they were still charging at their own officials, who were very scared. The people dispatched by the North Korean intelligence station at the place agreed in advance have arrived. They are responsible for providing intelligence, guidance and logistical supplies to these brave soldiers. They walked south together. They entered a small mountain village chosen for them in advance and hid themselves for the time being. North Korea¡¯s intelligence is sent back every day. Li Zhenhua pays close attention to the war situation between China and Japan. On September 15, the Japanese army began to launch an attack on the Qing army stationed in Pyongyang. Their troops were divided into four groups all the way to the south bank of the Datong River, with the Japanese 9th brigade as the main force. Under the command of Major General Oshima Yish¨, they first attacked the Qing army on the south bank of the Datong River. The Qing army launched an offensive. The second route was Xuanwu mn. The outer battlefield was Xuanwu mn. The third route was Xuanwu mn. This was the main direction of the Japanese attack. The Japanese Major General Naofumi Tachimi's 10th Brigade (also known as Shuoning Detachment) and Colonel Sato Masaru's 10th Brigade The 18th Regiment (also known as Yuansan Detachment) served as the main attack. The fourth route is the battlefield southwest of Pyongyang City. The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Nozu Kanchi, personally commanded the headquarters of the Japanese elite 5th Division. From the southwest of Pyongyang, they used artillery fire to cover the infantry and charged the Qing army's cavalry. They launched a fierce counterattack until noon. Seeing that Nozu Kanchi could not break through the Qing army's defense line, he ordered to stop the attack and return to the station. Text Chapter 212 Rescue Text Chapter 212 Rescue Chapter 212 Rescue Chapter 212 Rescue However, the battle of Xuanwu Mn became more intense. The Japanese artillery fire kept firing on the city. Zuo Guogui, the commander-in-chief of Gaozhou Town, was killed in the Japanese artillery fire. Three of his men were killed. The battalion officers were also shot and killed one after another. The Qing army lost their command. Xuanwu mn was captured by the Japanese army in the afternoon. The Japanese army began to advance into the city. However, the Qing army in the city organized a counterattack and the Japanese army had to retreat to Xuanwu mn. At this point, the battle entered a tense state. Instead of trying to find a way to retake the territory occupied by the Japanese, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, Ye Zhichao, ordered the white flag to be raised in the afternoon to stop resistance. The soldiers who were sent to defend the city around Ye Zhichao were still responsible for "protecting" Ye Zhichao at first. However, Ye Zhichao said that the battle ahead was tense and the old fox sent these soldiers to the front in a high-sounding manner. He said to the soldiers: "The front is very tense. Go to the front, I don't need so much protection here." Those soldiers were furious because the Japanese army's fierce attack caused the Qing army to suffer heavy casualties, and they rushed forward immediately. Ye Zhichao sneered: "If you want to deal with me, I will make you die one by one." Then he said to his soldiers: "Hang the white flag." A soldier immediately knelt down and said to Ye Zhichao: "Military mn This is not possible. If someone reports it to Lord Chaoting, it will be over." "What's wrong? Are you going to die here if you don't surrender?" Several soldiers knelt down and said in unison: "We are willing to fight the Japanese pirates to the death." Are you brave enough to disobey me?" Ye Zhichao immediately got angry: "Come here and beat them out with sticks." Several guards rushed in and dragged out the soldiers who asked to fight. One soldier said: "The court is in vain. Feed us." After saying this, he pulled out a knife from a soldier's waist and drew a stream of bright red blood on his neck. Some of the other soldiers picked up their knives and rushed to the front line, while others threw away their weapons, turned around and went home. Once the Dongying soldiers saw Ye Zhichao hoisting the white flag, it was impossible to enforce battlefield discipline against him. Once they saw that the Qing soldiers were already dead, they had no choice but to perform the second task of covering the retreat of the Qing soldiers. The soldiers of the Qing army who were fighting bloody battles suddenly fainted. We were fighting with our lives and blood, but you officials wanted to surrender. At that time, the military morale was high, but there were still some soldiers fighting the enemy. At nine o'clock that night, Ye Zhichao led his army and began to escape. He was They ran all the way for six days and ran more than 500 miles and crossed the Yalu River before stopping. However, the soldiers who were fighting the Japanese army could not get down. They had to retreat while fighting the enemy. As soon as the Japanese army saw that the Qing army had retreated, they immediately began to pursue the Qing army and besieged Xuanwu mn in the north. The Japanese army also began to besiege the retreating Qing army. Qing soldiers suffered a large number of casualties here. The Qing army that was blocked at the edge of the city was about to die here. Suddenly, the sound of artillery and gunfire came from behind the Japanese army. The sound of their artillery was not loud, but the shells always accurately landed where there were many Japanese soldiers. A dozen Japanese soldiers flew up. Although there were not many gunshots, a Japanese officer or soldier fell down with just one gunshot. As soon as the Japanese army saw it, the trapped Qing troops immediately began to rush out. After breaking out of the Japanese defense line, someone shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't come to me." When the Qing troops saw someone, they After the greeting, I immediately moved closer and saw a young man wearing colorful clothes and a helmet on his head. He said to everyone: "Everyone, please pay attention and run towards the red lantern. There are no Japanese troops there." The Qing army began to retreat in an orderly manner. . But some soldiers of the Qing army stayed behind and they wanted to stop the Japanese army with those people. Those soldiers who spoke southern dialect said to them: "Brothers, retreat quickly. You are tired after fighting for a day." Those Qing soldiers said: "No, I will not be a soldier, but I still want to be with you. Just because of your strength." You are so brave." Another soldier said, "Brother, I will follow you after you saved my life." Other Qing soldiers also said, "We will follow you." A soldier asked: "Brothers, which army are you from? I have never seen you before." "We have just come here to protect you. We are not soldiers, but ordinary people." A Qing soldier The man who wanted to speak moved his hand to stop his questioning. He stretched out his gun. In the night, he saw a Japanese officer five hundred steps away shouting. Then he heard a "bang" gunshot. The Japanese officer fell down. Then another artillery shell landed there, and several Japanese soldiers flew up. Look at how beautiful these two hands are. It's so dark and they can shoot from such a long distance. It's amazing. They are still whisperingIn the distance to the city mn, there were Qing soldiers rushing out. A group of Japanese soldiers were blocking and blocking there to prevent the Qing troops from rushing out. Their number was not many, and it looked like they only had more than a hundred people. Shang Hai ordered, "Everyone pay attention to the counter-charge. Eliminate all those Japs and cover the Qing army brothers to rush out." When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately acted and moved quietly towards the Japs. Suddenly someone opened fire, and immediately there was a loud sound of gunfire. Grenades were also thrown at the enemy. The Japanese soldiers who were attacked from two sides were littered with casualties. The remaining ones immediately began to run to both sides. They followed the Japanese army and chased the enemy. They arrived in front of the city mn and shouted to the Qing soldiers: "Brothers, go outside." Charge and be sure to bend down." The Qing soldiers rushed over quickly. Someone immediately arranged for them to retreat to the back. A Qing soldier said to Shang Hai, "Sir, there are some brothers who are wearing the same clothes as you. They covered us when we rushed out. But they can't get out." After he finished speaking, some Qing soldiers beside him also said: "They are all good people." Shang Hai knew that they were the soldiers around Ye Zhichao. He had no time to feel sad about those Qing soldiers. The soldiers said: "Okay, I understand. You have to remember the brothers who sacrificed for you. Run to the north as soon as possible. It will be safe there." Shang Hai knew that his brothers were finished. He clenched his fists tightly. He clenched his fists and said in his heart: "Brothers, your sacrifice will not be in vain. We will definitely avenge you." Shang Hai ordered the two groups to separate to the left and right to observe the enemy and prevent them from organizing an attack. The main force of his own is here to maintain this passage so that the Qing army behind can retreat safely. Gunshots were heard in the distance from the north. Shang Hai frowned. The enemy set up an ambush behind him to prevent the Qing army from retreating safely. Shang Hai took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was one o'clock. If he held on for another two hours, he would probably be in the city. There was no one left, so he said to the two platoon leaders: "You wait for another two hours and then retreat to the north. I will take a look over there first. The third platoon follows me." Shang Hai quickly walked to the north and made several requests. The Qing soldiers who joined also followed him. Shang Hai smiled and said, "If you want to keep up with me, run faster." After that, he ran to the north and a row of soldiers followed him. A soldier from the Qing army was OK at first, but soon he was gone. A soldier running at the end said to them: "You can find us by chasing where the gunshots were heard." Text Chapter 213 Breaking out of the encirclement Text Chapter 213 Breaking out of the encirclement Chapter 213 Breaking out of the encirclement Chapter 213 Breaking out of the encirclement How did these Qing soldiers go through their training methods? Twenty kilometers of heavy-bearing long-distance running every day. Forty kilometers of cross-country running once every ten days. The physical fitness of those soldiers It's surprisingly good. Ordinary soldiers can't stand it. Even among several other divisions, they have selected the best. They soon arrived at the blocking point of the Japanese army. The blocked Qing army had a backbone in their hearts when they saw them. They also stopped attacking the enemy. But when they saw that there were only more than 30 of them, their hearts became cold again. Reported to Shang Hai: "There are about 500 enemies who have blocked more than 1,000 of our brothers." Shang Hai raised the telescope on his chest and looked into the distance, only to see that the Japanese army had occupied two sides of the road. Shang Hai put down his telescope and asked the Qing troops: "Who among you can be responsible?" A man in his thirties stood up and said to Shang Hai: " My name is Wang Shizhen, and I am the instructor of the artillery team under the military president. Now I have the final say here." Shang Hai looked at him and saw that his left hand was wrapped and his forehead was injured. He knew that he was not a person who was afraid of death. He said to him: "Our situation is very bad now. The enemy has occupied the main road. If we charge hard, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, I decided that you will pretend to attack the enemy's left side and I will deal with the enemy on the right. As long as I take the enemy's Once the blocking line is destroyed, we can rush over." After thinking about it, Wang Shizhen immediately agreed with him and said, "That's right. The Art of War says: If we don't fight, we will die. If we fight, we may be able to come back alive. They are not soldiers. Now they are here to save us soldiers. Where do we put our face? Brothers, please fight with me to survive." Wang Shizhen said to Shang Hai: "Brothers, you have too few people. I'd better send some people over." "No, we're not going to attack by force." At the same time, he said to him: "Brothers, you should also take care to minimize the casualties of our brothers." After saying that, he saluted and turned around. Going to Wang Shizhen was also a bid farewell to him. After saying that, they rushed to the enemy's left. Shang Hai immediately ordered his soldiers to light torches and then ran to the Japanese army on the right. They ran until they were in front of the enemy, but he still had no intention of stopping. Someone from the Japanese army in front immediately asked in Japanese: "Stop, who are you?" Shang Hai immediately replied in Japanese: "We are the commander of the special agent team of the Fifth Division who ordered us to come to meet you." Hearing the familiar voice, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side put down their weapons and walked forward. He went to the Japanese soldier and said to him: "I am Major Yamada and I want to see your supreme commander." The soldier saw his stiff and unclear attitude, so he immediately said to him: "The commander is over there." Shang Hai As soon as he saw his honesty, he immediately said: "Take me to see him quickly." At this time, a low-level officer came next to him. His military rank was second lieutenant. He asked Shang Hai: "Which department are you in?" Shang Hai said nothing. When he went up, a big mouth cursed at him in Japanese: "I'm Baga, I'm from the fifth division. I'm Major Yamada. I'm the adjutant of General Nozu Kanchi. I'll shoot you if you're wasting time. Take me to your supreme commander." "The officer was knocked unconscious. A soldier stepped forward to push him away and whispered to him: "Come on, our commander has a bad temper and it will delay things. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?" The second lieutenant became honest after being beaten. Take them away. At this time, the shouts of killing and gunshots from the other side also came over. They hurriedly ran back. Several Japanese officers stood there under a light in front. One of them had a small Rendan beard. He was Lieutenant Colonel Shanghai. He waved his hand without hesitation. The soldiers behind him gathered around, pointed their guns at them, and said to them: "We It¡¯s the squadron, you immediately order your troops to surrender.¡± Just as a Japanese soldier was about to fire a shot, the Japanese soldier fell and Shang Hai said: ¡°I give you thirty seconds to give the order to surrender immediately. If you don¡¯t give the order, I will kill you all. "Start the timer now." A soldier shouted: "Five seconds" Shang Hai shot a Japanese officer and fell to the ground. "Ten seconds" "Bang" Another shot and another officer fell down. "Fifteen seconds" The Japanese lieutenant colonel became anxious and shouted loudly: "Stop, I agree to surrender." "Is this right? You have to care about your subordinates and don't waste their lives in vain." The officer immediately asked His men announced their surrender to the squadron and all Japanese troops laid down their weapons. The order was passed down, and the gunshots slowly stopped. The Qing army in large groups rushed up. Wang Shizhen and the others alsoWhen they came over, they saw that the Japanese soldiers had put down their weapons and were standing there. Several Japanese prisoners captured on the other side of the road were also walking towards here. He pulled Shang Hai aside and asked: "Brothers, what should they do?" Shang Hai smiled at him and said, "What do you think?" Before Wang Shizhen could speak, the Qing soldiers next to him shouted: "Kill them for us. "Brothers, please take revenge." "Kill them." "Kill them." The Qing army shouted in unison. Shang Hai did not answer their words and only asked Wang Shizhen: "Have all your people passed?" "They have all passed. "Okay, I'll leave these people to you, you can do whatever you want." Shang Hai walked down the hill. There were gunshots and the screams of the Japanese soldiers behind him. The two platoons behind him had also come up. Shang Hai and the others continued to walk north, but a group of Qing soldiers gathered around them. The next day, a large number of Qing troops began to return home in embarrassment. They did not expect that the Qing troops had the same number as the Japanese army, but Ye Zhichao destroyed the entire battle. "One general is incompetent and tires a thousand troops to death." This is what this kind of general means. But the civilian soldiers who rescued them didn't know where they were. At the same time as the Japanese army attacked Pyongyang, the Qing government received an emergency telegram from North Korea. They ordered Li Hongzhang to continue to increase troops to North Korea, so the Beiyang Navy began to escort the Qing army infantry. On September 16, the entire main fleet of the Beiyang Navy dispatched to the Yalu River Estuary. Transport 5,000 soldiers in the direction of Dadonggou. This time everything went smoothly. The next morning they were ready to return to Tianjin to wait for a new mission. They didn't know that the Japanese had laid a big net for them. The Japanese also didn't know that there was a bigger net waiting for them behind them. Text Chapter 214 Eliminating spies Main text Chapter 214 Clearing out the Jin details Chapter 214 Clearing out the Jin details Chapter 214 Clearing out the Jin spies Seeing that the Japanese army and navy in Korea have fully taken action, the information that the Beiyang Navy is about to set off to escort them has also been sent out. People are here Li Zhenhua from Dongying issued an order: "Counterintelligence teams from all over the country will begin to implement the No. 2 action plan at the same time across the country at 0:00 on the night of September 17th." Why this time was set? It was to allow Japanese spies to report to their joint forces. After the fleet sent out information on the departure time of the Beiyang Navy. On the night of this day, unified operations to arrest Japanese spies began in major and small cities in China from south to north. Because preparations have been made in advance for a team to deal with one or a group of spies, there are many people in Beijing. Because they have more spies here than other places, a team has been sent here in advance. In the inner city of Beijing. A few uninvited guests suddenly came to a prince's house at night. They held the Yunnan General's warrant in their hands and told the mn roommates that the prince had confidential matters to tell the prince. The mn room hurriedly led them in, but as soon as they entered the palace Instead of going to the usual living room to wait for the prince, he turned around and ran to the prince's room in the back. The night was already deep, and the prince and his favorite concubine had just completed their emotional exchange. They were sleeping. Several people rushed directly into the prince's house. The prince's most beloved concubine immediately screamed, but a young man He rushed forward, grabbed the quilt with his hands, pushed it aside, pressed the naked Japanese spy on her lips, and then went up to her without hesitation and knocked her unconscious. At this time, no matter how good-tempered the prince was, he immediately lost his composure and said, "The bold slave actually ran into my room to catch my concubine. Come on, give me these indecent things. Give me a stick right away." Beat them to death." As he said this, he called for the soldiers to come in and grab the soldiers. The soldiers came in and pointed their guns at the soldiers from the intelligence office. But the leading young man calmly put a gun to the prince's head and said to him: "Let them all get out of here. If you don't want to lose your reputation, then let me go. Otherwise, you won't be able to accept it." It's time. To tell you the truth, we are the consorts and your tenth concubine is a Japanese spy. Let them go down." Seeing how confident he was, the prince waved to the people below to let them go out first. The prince¡¯s guards retreated. The young man said to the other two people: "Search". After a while, several soldiers started to search. After a while, some things were found, including bombs, daggers, poisonous weapons, secret writing water, and a secret book. A lot of them were dug out one by one. Small dng paper. There was also a Japanese letter that had been written but not yet sent. Seeing these things, the prince collapsed in a cold sweat and sat down on his chair. That night, people from the intelligence office made large-scale arrests all over Beijing. First, soldiers from the inner city and even the Forbidden City entered. They said to the guards: "We are sent by the emperor's consort and have confidential matters that need to be met with the emperor immediately. "When the guards in front of the mn saw that it was the prince's consort, they couldn't say anything. They were hesitating. A soldier simply pointed his pistol at his head, and a group of soldiers entered the Forbidden City. They found the chief manager Li Lianying and told him the situation. At first, he refused to admit that there would be any details, but the soldiers gave him a list and asked him to cooperate. Li Lianying panicked when he saw it. He was worried about Li Zhenhua. Knowing the method, the prince-in-law never acted according to common sense and he did not treat them. He had to ask his eunuchs to help find someone to cooperate and capture several palace maids and eunuchs. After they were caught, they conducted a search and found a large amount of evidence. This shocked Li Lianying. It took a long time before he completely softened after the evidence was placed in front of him. It took him a long time to catch his breath and said, "Oh my God, how did they get in?" "Yeah?" "That's not your credit." The chief manager immediately started to sweat. Li Lianying kept saying to the soldiers: "Please speak kindly in front of me to save this old slave's life." Ah." "Then it depends on your performance. You can weigh it yourself." There are also Japanese spies in the garden of the Empress Dowager, but she is a maid next to the Empress Dowager who is responsible for cleaning up the place. The driver Ban He is the Empress Dowager. The female soldiers who acted as electricians found an excuse to restrain the palace maid. Several female soldiers took her into custody and then began to search her residence. Naturally, some evidence was found from her residence. , daggers, and some things written in Japanese, etc. She was immediately interrogated. At first, her words were very harsh, but the methods of the female soldiers were very effective. Then a few more people were dragged in by her. The female soldiers immediately arrested other people and soon everything was over. After solving the problem, they immediately reported it to the Queen Mother.???The Empress Dowager Cixi slept little to begin with, and this commotion kept her up all night. If she were a palace maid, she would have to suffer a lot, but a few female drivers wanted to hand her over to the intelligence office in Beijing. They said to the Empress Dowager: "The general asked us to take the prisoner and hand it over to the general." When the Queen Mother heard this, she asked them to take her away, so the person was taken away. This made the Queen Mother very angry. She had no time to prepare for the sixtieth anniversary celebration, so she issued a decree to stop all preparations. Now the Korean war was in a mess, and the soldiers at the front were fighting bloody battles, but she It would be hard to tell if there was some kind of celebration happening here. But at this time, she thought about losing face again. However, a series of defeat reports later proved that she was right. Although some blind people begged her to continue the longevity celebration, she scolded them all. The tenth day of October was the day when the Japanese army was at its peak in the Liaodong area. When it is rampant, if the celebration is stopped, people's yelling and cursing will be quieter. After the inner city is over, it¡¯s time for the outer city. Before dawn, the intelligence officers started a new round of arrests. There were gun battles in several places, but they were no match for the intelligence personnel who had prepared well in advance. They were soon caught. By noon the next day, the entire arrest operation was finally over. They arrested just one person in Beijing. Sixty-seven Japanese spies killed thirteen. Text Chapter 215 Operation Sunset Text Chapter 215 Operation Sunset Chapter 215 Operation Sunset Chapter 215 Operation Sunset The interrogation masters of the Intelligence Department immediately separated for interrogation, mainly because their connections were easy to say. Most of their intelligence had to be analyzed and processed by Li Zhenhua. When sending information to Japan, the people who were bribed by them must be clarified, and the source of the information must be clarified. Since the entire arrest operation was carried out at night, it did not have a great impact on the market, but it still caused quite a stir among the upper levels, which made many people start to check the people around them, and many more. The high-ranking officials no longer dare to sleep with any kind of women and bring them into their own homes like before. After a night of arrests, Li Zhenhua issued an order to prepare for war to the airships and warships that had already entered the Yellow Sea on standby: "Start executing Operation Sunset and wish everyone good luck." The airship took off and the warships entered as planned. The starting point of your own attack. This is what China said: "The cockroaches catch the cicadas, but the oriole is behind." After the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet received the information that the entire Beiyang Navy dispatched to escort the merchant ships transporting the army, the Combined Fleet Commander Ito Yu General Heng ordered the combined fleet to set off from Seoul. This time he was determined to win. He dispatched all his warships. He wanted to fight the Beiyang Navy in a decisive battle on the Yellow Sea and eat them up. After solving the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's big mn It opened up that the Chinese army was no match for the Japanese army at all. Japan's combined fleet set off from Seoul and headed northwest. That was the channel leading to Tianjin from the Beiyang Navy. They had long known about the actions of the Beiyang Navy. As long as they were waiting on their route, they would not be able to escape this time. Destroy all the Beiyang Navy. Just to the southwest of the Japanese Combined Fleet, there was an airship staring at them from a distance. The fire information from their warships had been transmitted. Two warships coming out of Dongying were not far away from them. They were heading towards them at cruising speed. The other two warships traveling here and coming from the south and the submarine they towed also began to block the entire Bohai Port. Today, the navies of China and Japan are going to have a steely battle on the Yellow Sea. The two sides are going to have a real showdown here. Who will win will be revealed soon. Deng Shichang stood on the front deck of the "Huashan". He had already mobilized his men. Today, he must completely solve the Japanese combined fleet and cut off their attempts to extend their claws towards China. For this day, the soldiers of the Navy have been training for several years. They have been shouting anxiously for a long time. Some soldiers even specially put on new military uniforms to celebrate. A war is imminent here. At this time, Li Zhongtang still pinned his hopes on the mediation of Britain, the United States, Russia and other countries. He did not really attach importance to war preparations. Because the Qing army suffered many losses on land and sea, Emperor Guangxu was already anxious. Amidst the shouts of a group of militants, the Beiyang Navy was ordered several times to go to sea to fight. However, Li Hongzhang knew what Empress Dowager Cixi meant. In his order to the Beiyang Navy, he still emphasized the need to "avoid war and save ships." Since the Beiyang Navy suffered a loss last time on July 25, the Beiyang Navy should have been more vigilant this time. At 9 a.m., Admiral Ding Ruchang of the Beiyang Navy hoisted an order flag on his flagship and ordered all members of the Beiyang Navy to weigh anchor and return to Tianjin. At around 11 a.m., the lookout reported the sighting of black smoke in the southwest, and then reported the sighting of the fleet. Ding Ruchang personally boarded the Looking into the distance with binoculars on the front deck, only the thick smoke in the distance was already obvious. Ding Ruchang judged that this should be the Japanese fleet. He immediately ordered the entire fleet to prepare for battle and load live ammunition. He was still confident that Xinghua Company had replaced the rapid-fire cannon for him and updated the shells. If he couldn't fire well, he would have nothing to say. But after all, our warships are too old. It has been twelve years since our flagship "Dingyuan" was launched, and it has not been overhauled for more than seven years. The few small ships at the back are also in disrepair, especially the "Yangwei" and "Chaoyong" on the right side of the fleet. The speed difference between the two ships is unsatisfactory. Although Mr. Li has performed some "surgeries" on these warships, they are still not satisfactory. As the warships on both sides approached quickly, it was quickly clear that it was the Japanese fleet. At this time, the Japanese warships did not fly the American flag for a sneak attack as before, but brazenly rushed over directly. The opponent's warships are twelve, two more than our own. It seems that they have dispatched all the high-horsepower warships. Now they are here. The lookout then reported the names of the enemy's warships. The first four ships were: "Yoshino", "Yoshino" and "Yoshino". Takachiho", "Akitsusu", "lngsu". Behind them is their main fleet: the flagship "Matsushima", followed by four warships of more than 5,000 tons including "Chiyoda", "itsukushima" and "Hashidate". In addition, there are "Hiei" and "Fuso". ", "Xikyo Maru" and "Akagi" are four slower small warships. The Beiyang Navy's side is "Dingyuan" and "Zhen""??", "Jingyuan", "Laiyuan", "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Jiyuan", "Pingyuan", "Chaoyong", "Yangwei", "Guangjia", "Guangbing" " ("Guangyi" had been sunk in the last battle) and there were two other gunboats "Zhennan" and "Zhenzhong" and four torpedo boats "Fulong", "Left One", "Right Two", "Third from the right" Ding Ruchang ordered the whole team to use the "Yan Ling Formation" to meet the enemy. He wanted to use the two ironclad ships "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" in the formation to face the Japanese fleet with their powerful 305mm cannon. But it was the largest artillery in Asia at the time. The other warships lined up on both sides and rushed towards the enemy. The first person the Japanese fleet discovered was Tsuboi Kozo, the captain of the "Yoshino" and the commander of the first guerrilla force, who immediately reported it. Their combined fleet commander Ito Yuhiro saw that the time had come and followed the tactics they had already prescribed, using the four fast cruisers of the first guerrilla group to quickly go around the back of the Beiyang Navy and attack the Beiyang Navy. The division formed a front-to-back pincer attack, so he immediately ordered the First Guerrilla Force to rely on its speed advantage to outflank the Beiyang Navy's right wing and form a front-to-back pincer attack. The main fleet used firepower to entangle the main force of the Beiyang Navy and the first team. The guerrillas formed a pincer attack on the Beiyang Navy. Ding Ruchang had already known this tactic of the Japanese Navy. His fleet was not as fast as the Japanese Combined Fleet, but he wanted to destroy the Japanese Combined Fleet's combat plan as much as possible to prevent the Japanese fleet. Form a combined attack on yourself. Text Chapter 216 Operation Sunset (2) Text Chapter 216 Operation Sunset (2) Chapter 216 Operation Sunset (2) Chapter 216 Operation Sunset (2) Warships from both sides were approaching quickly, but neither of them saw an airship in the sky that was staring at them. Behind the Japanese Combined Fleet and further away were the two warships "Huashan" and "Songshan" of the Fangcheng Navy. They were following the Japanese Combined Fleet at a distance under the instructions of the airship. They saw the airship. The signal sent by Deng Shichang ordered: "Go at full speed, catch up and beat the Japanese combined fleet's ass hard." Ding Ruchang discovered that the master had discovered the Japanese plan. He wanted to use his own artillery to prevent the enemy's encirclement tactics. At a distance of 8,000 yards, the flagship "Dingyuan" opened fire, and the artillery following the "Zhenyuan" also opened fire, but their shots were all fired. Instead of hitting the target, the main gun of the flagship "Dingyuan" was in disrepair and the first gun exploded. In the violent explosion, Ding Ruchang unfortunately fell and was seriously injured. The signal flag was also destroyed. Here, the Beiyang Navy was lost. The highest command was given to each ship, and each ship was fighting under the command of its own captain. The formation of the Beiyang Navy has been reduced. Ding Ruchang's guards asked him to go down to a safe place, but Ding Ruchang pushed his guards away. He wanted to fight with the sailors. This greatly encouraged the sailors on the "Dingyuan" ship. But at this time, he could only inspire the courage of the sailors on one ship, but he could not take care of it on other warships. The first guerrilla force of the Japanese Combined Fleet took advantage of its speed to outflank the two ships "Chaoyong" and "Yangwei" that were lagging behind. The "Yoshino" was also desperately firing at the "Yoshino" at the front. A fire broke out on the "Yoshino". However, the two ships "Super Yu" and "Yangwei" were also hit by gunfire and caught fire. They had no choice but to withdraw. Before fighting, put out the fire yourself first. At this time, the Japanese ship "Yoshino" was also hit and caught fire. Tsuboi Kozo ordered the damage control personnel on the ship to act quickly to put out the fire. They quickly extinguished the fire. However, the "Super Brave" was too seriously injured and had already begun to sink. Before it sank, their gunners continued to fire shells at the Japanese army. When the Japanese First Guerrilla Force encircled the right wing of the Beiyang Navy, their own troops were also attacking each other with the main force of the Beiyang Navy. The Japanese warships "Hiei", "Akagi", "Fuso", and "Saikyo Maru" were also attacked by the Beiyang Navy. The navy's attack, but their two new warships, exerted great power. At this time, most of the warships of the Beiyang Navy were injured and on fire. Ito Yuhiro's flagship "Matsushima" rushed forward towards the formation of the Beiyang Navy. The gunfire on the ship rescued his warships who were under attack in time. The "itsukushima" followed closely behind. Their powerful firepower allowed them to The Beiyang Navy couldn't stand it anymore. Ito Yuheng happily shouted on the warship and directed his warship to fire one shell after another at the Beiyang Navy. The two sides soon entered a state of strife. At this time, the Beiyang Navy was already at war. The Beiyang Navy, which also lost its command, was very dangerous. By this time, the "Songdao" had turned around and came back. The "Zhiyuan" ship, which was covered in fire, had been shot in many places. However, in order to cover their flagship, it hit the "Songdao" at full speed. There was a young captain on the bridge of the warship. His uniform was covered with blood, but the command knife in his hand was raised high and pointed at the "Matsushima". He wanted to use the angle of attack on his warship to directly hit the "Matsushima". Two sailors on the "Matsushima" also stood with him. His clothes were swinging in the wind like a statue made of steel. The Japanese sailors on the "Matsushima" were all stunned. Ito Yuheng was so frightened. He shouted: "Open the gun, open the gun, open the gun quickly and sink him." All the secondary guns of the "Matsushima" were aimed at the "Zhiyuan" ship and opened fire. The "itsukushima" behind it also hurriedly opened fire on the "Zhiyuan". Enemy shells fell on the "Zhiyuan" ship one after another. A shell from the "Itsukushima" hit the engine room of the "Zhiyuan" ship. "Zhiyuan" made a huge explosion. Its propeller stopped and the fire behind it was more intense. The larger warship moved forward slowly. The marines on the warship picked up their rifles and the soldiers fired at the Songdao. The Japanese sailors ran to hiding places one after another. There was another loud noise. The middle part of the "Zhiyuan" was hit by another large-caliber shell. There was also a huge explosion. The "Zhiyuan" slowly sank into the water. However, no one on the warship jumped into the sea to escape. Only the front main gun The gunners were still desperately loading shells and firing shells at the enemy. The marines were still continuing to fire at the Japanese sailors. At this time, everything in the entire battlefield seemed to have stopped. People were watching the people on the "Zhiyuan" firing at the Japanese fleet. Ding Ruchang, who was seriously injured, stretched out his hand. He seemed to want to catch the "Zhiyuan" in his own hands. The other Beiyang sailors also shed tears in their hands Suddenly a shell screamed across the air and a shell exploded on the front turret of the "Songdao", followed by its main gun.It flew into the sky and the fire it caused quickly rolled towards the front and rear of the warship. Soon, another shell fell on the "Matsushima", and another ball of flames came out, followed by another shell. The hull that entered it exploded inside the warship. Only then did people know who fired the cannonballs flying in the distance. People looked into the distance and saw two warships rushing towards us at high speed in the distance. They fired while driving. A huge red flag was on the top of the warship. Their shells fluttered in the wind and landed accurately on the deck of the Songshima. That was more than 10,000 yards away. The Japanese sailors began to panic and dive into the water to escape. They grabbed the lifebuoys around them and put them on their bodies, and headed towards the sea. Jump in. The officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy cheered. The surrounding warships of the Beiyang Navy will never let go of this thing of beating the drowned dog. Several warships nearby fired cannonballs and torpedoes at it at the same time. The morale of the Beiyang Navy was greatly boosted. They dumped the cannonballs on the Japanese warship faster. . Combined Fleet Commander Ito Yuhiro saw that the situation had changed and his warships could no longer fight. Seeing that the Beiyang Navy already had strong backup, Ito Yuhiro knew that his plan to eliminate the Beiyang Navy was impossible to realize. He immediately decided to withdraw from the battle and ordered his warship Zuo Manchu to drive fast to avoid this. Whose warship is this? Their attack capabilities are too terrifying. The distance is more than 10,000 yards. How can they have such accurate gunnery? The reason is very simple, that is, the cannon range of the Fangcheng Navy is 15,000 yards. Normal firing training is 12,000 yards. Now they are shooting at a range of 10,000 yards. They have narrowed the distance, and the gunners are even more confident. Now that I'm older, my usual training is all about shooting with live ammunition, which is no different from usual. Text Chapter 217 Operation Sunset (3) Text Chapter 217 Operation Sunset (3) Chapter 217 Operation Sunset (3) Chapter 217 Operation Sunset (3) Want to run? It was such an easy thing, and their troubles came immediately. Suddenly, like a violent storm in the sky, a large number of bullets were fired at the Japanese warship. The sailors who were nodding on the warship fell down one after another. It turned out that the sky did not know where it came from. An airship flew over there. They were desperately scanning the "Matsushima". A sniper aimed at the rope where they hung the signal flag and gently pulled the trigger. A bullet flew out of the signal flag. The rope was broken and the signal flag of the "Matsushima" fell down. Now the Japanese Combined Fleet, like the Beiyang Navy, has lost its unified command. The officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy looked up and saw that it was a huge airship firing at Japanese warships at an altitude of more than 300 meters. While they were firing, they flew towards the "Matsushima". The Japanese marines were about to raise their guns to shoot at them, but the snipers on the airship had already been waiting for them. More gunshots rang out, and all the Japanese sailors It fell into the sea. At this time, the airship had already reached the side of the Japanese warship. The machine guns were still firing, but the people on top picked up the barrels one by one and threw them towards the Japanese warship. When they fell on the deck, there was an immediate sound. Huge explosion. It turns out that it was a bomb that could be thrown by hand. The "Songdao" finally completed a big change under the attack of distant artillery fire, but it happened to be facing the "Huashan". The firepower on the port side of the "Huashan" could be fully exerted at this time. The front, rear, and middle 28 They immediately aimed Zero's main gun and 5mn secondary gun at the "Matsushima" to attack it. However, at this time, the Japanese Navy's "Itsukushima" rushed over and shot straight into the "Matsushima" and Among the "Huashan", it has to cover its flagship and withdraw from the battle. d Ito took this opportunity to order the signal flag of "All Fleets to Retreat" to be put up, but soon a string of bullets hit several signal soldiers, fell down, and threw the signal flag aside. The warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet also made the same move. Then they all started to turn around and run away regardless. Deng Shichang on the "Huashan" saw the "Itsukushima" rushing up to die. He was not polite. Since you are coming to die, I will help you first. "Target Itsukushima's port side and prepare to attack." The sailors quickly The ground was busy lowering the muzzle of his own gun, and soon made all preparations. Deng Shichang issued another "Qi Shu" order, and soon the shells fell like raindrops on the "Itsukushima". In order to ensure that the shells can be fired at high speed during the battle, the Japanese Navy often likes to place the shells directly next to the gun emplacement. The position of the gun emplacement is the main place for the opponent's attack. Immediately, the front main gun of the "Itsukushima" was blown away. The shells had not exploded before, but this time the shells exploded. There was a loud noise and the "itsukushima" was broken into two pieces. They sank to the bottom of the sea quickly. The whole ship was 400 meters long. Many sailors were swallowed by the sea before they had time to escape. The Japanese warships are now divided into two parts. The fast warships and the ones positioned aside are already turning around and running away. The other warships are still there and fighting hard. It's not that they don't want to run away, but they have been tightly bitten by the warships of the Beiyang Navy in the distance. The two warships of the Fangcheng Navy immediately formed a circle from the outside of the Beiyang Navy. The officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy saw clearly the two big characters "Huashan" on the bow of the ship and "Songshan" on the other one. They seemed to also see Their old supervisor, Deng Shichang, was saluting his former comrades, but it was an internationally popular hand-raising salute. The signal flag on the height of the warship told the Beiyang Navy: "Brothers, concentrate on destroying the enemy's escaping warships and leave them to us." The Japanese warships left to fight with the Beiyang Navy were "Hiei", "Akagi", " The four warships "Xikyo Maru" and "Fuso" were already on fire at this time. The "Xikyo Maru" received the most artillery fire, mainly from the "Songshan" which concentrated its firepower on it. There were not many Japanese sailors on the surface of these four warships. The Beiyang Navy can completely eat them up, and the rest will be taken care of by the "Huashan" and "Songshan". Liu Hai's "Songshan" was pouring artillery shells towards the "Xijing Maru". Suddenly Commander Deng's voice came from the intercom: "Liu Hai left the battle here and let's pursue those fast warships that escaped." Liu Hai immediately replied: "Understand and pursue them immediately." The "Songshan" immediately turned to pursue them in the distance. However, the last shell fired from the warship accurately landed on the "Nishikyo Maru", causing it to make a louder explosion. At this time, when the remaining Japanese warships saw that there was no hope of escape, they were determined to fight the Beiyang Navy. Their artillery fire desperately hit the two small ships "Guang Yi" and "Guang Bing" at the Beiyang Navy. They sank one after another. However, when the Beiyang Navy's artillery fire was already in their own advantage, they became more and more brave. "Hiei", "Fuso" and "Akagi" were successively sunk, and "Saikyo Maru" hung up the white flag and surrendered. The two warships "Huashan" and "Songshan" chased the enemy in the distance. Behind the enemy ship were the three warships "Hashidate", "Matsushima" and "Chiyoda". "Hashidate" was one Deng Shichang and Liu Hai didn't like this old-fashioned small warship at all. They ordered to fire at a distance of 10,000 yards. After just one round of salvo, the little thing was finished and slowly sank into the water. In front is the "Chiyoda" with a speed of 2,439 tons and a speed of 19 knots. Deng Shichang also looked down upon it. Another two rounds of shells hit their magazine, causing a big explosion. It only took a few minutes for it to sink. Those soldiers who jumped into the water in advance were also sucked down by the huge whirlpool. More than two hundred Japanese sailors survived. In front of the "Huashan" and "Songshan" is the "Songdao". This is a new ship Deng Shichang and Liu Hai wanted to make it his own warship. At this time, Liu Hai ordered to fire in front of the warship. At the same time, he sent a signal to them and ordered them to surrender. Immediately, several shells fell in front of the "Songdao" and the "Tianshan" was also hung up. Signal flag: "Order you to surrender or be sunk." Seeing the battle reaching this point, the commander of the Japanese combined fleet, Yuhiro Ito, had no choice but to do anything. His warship had long been seriously injured, plus the "Huashan" The "Songshan" and the Beiyang Navy were ravaging him, and now he couldn't run away at all. He returned to his cabin with a sullen face. He knew the situation of the Beiyang Navy very well, but What happened to their other two warships? And their powerful firepower can be said to be absolutely first-class in the world. He scolded those idiots in the intelligence department mn. They couldn't explain themselves after such a defeat. He said to the guards who followed him: "Order them to surrender." Text Chapter 218 Operation Sunset (4) Text Chapter 218 Operation Sunset (4) Chapter 218 Operation Sunset (4) Chapter 218 Operation Sunset (4) The highest mast of the Japanese Combined Fleet's flagship "Matsushima" hung a white flag. The Japanese sailors on the warship were loose. After taking a breath, I finally no longer need to fight. Baidu search (typing chapter with hand) The guard returned to the captain's cabin and a smell of blood came over him. He had an ominous premonition. He knocked on the mn first and there was no response. He pushed the mn away with force and saw that Ito Yuheng had fallen. On the ground, his command knife stabbed into his abdomen. Dirty blood flowed all over the ground. The guards immediately ran to see the captain of the "Matsushima" warship. The captain waved his hands and said, "Let him go. He is considered a good man." I am loyal to the emperor. You guys go and take care of it." He had no intention of paying attention to Commander-in-Chief Ito Yuhiro because he was still preparing to surrender to the Chinese Navy. Let his guards handle the commander's funeral. The "Songshan" stopped aside and the "Songdao" helped the Marines pass by. They gathered all the Japanese sailors who had put down their weapons and let them enter their dining room. They set up sentries in front of the mn and sent them out. The pilots on the other side went to the "Matsushima" to drive their warships forward. However, at this time, the "Songshan" only took down the flag of Admiral Ito Yuhiro on the "Matsushima" and confiscated his command sword. The pistols and others continued to pursue them. There were Japanese warships ahead. I wonder if the "Tianshan" Huang Tao and the "Taishan" Zhang Chong could stop them. You must know that they are the best of the Japanese. You can't get them even if you don't get them. Let them go back and sink them all. As they were walking, they heard that Deng Shichang was already attacking. He immediately ordered the airships in the air to rush over to support them. He said on the radio that two airships were already on the battlefield. Now Deng Shichang felt relieved. They can't run away. On the surface, there are two warships dealing with them, plus two airships, but there are four wolves under the water. They can't run away, but it's best to capture them. Who makes his boss? The boss said that this is a three-dimensional combat mode. The name is very new. He has never heard of it. It attacks them from three directions: air, surface and underwater. How do they run when they are ordered to tow the submarine? Huang Tao and Zhang Chong were very unhappy. They felt that they were too late to fight. They felt very uncomfortable, but the order must be carried out. When they came from behind, the airship informed them that the Japanese warship had escaped. Fifty minutes later, the Japanese navy Several warships can arrive here. They immediately explained the situation to the four submarines and made preparations for battle. Their battle plan was to use two warships to advance to the left front of the enemy warship to seize the "t" prefix to attack the oppression of the enemy warship. They moved closer to the coast of North Korea and entered the ambush range of the submarines. However, the four submarines moved forward in a straight line to deal with the enemy warships one after another. No matter how they ran, they were attacked by two submarines, not counting the ones in the air. The normal training of the Fangcheng Navy is to hit targets at a distance of 12,000 yards. Now in actual combat, they hit targets at a distance of 10,000 yards. This gives them a psychological advantage. The Japanese warships usually only hit targets at a distance of 6,000 yards. They obviously suffered a loss. This is due to the weapons and equipment. Their cannons can only hit up to eight thousand yards, but that is no longer accurate. Li Zhenhua's cruiser's main gun can hit up to fifteen thousand yards. Codes. Huang Tao, the captain of the "Tianshan", saw the Japanese warship coming from a distance through his telescope. He sent a signal for the submarine to take over. The four submarines following closely followed and dived quickly. Now there were only two warships on the surface. "Tianshan" and "Taishan". Soon the Japanese warships arrived. When they saw the flying red dragon flag, they were shocked. Why are the Chinese still ambushing here? But they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to China, which is 12,000 yards away. The navy opened fire. Their cannons fired very well. The first round of the salvo was a near-miss. The Japanese warships that had been injured swayed violently. At this time, the Japanese navy was very scared, but they can hit you at such a long distance. I have no choice but to suffer a loss. Why don't you go to the left? Then I will avoid you and they will move closer to the North Korean coast. The submarines were very happy when they saw them coming in the periscope. They were moving in a diagonal direction. The Japanese warships were just staring at the water. The air attack on the warships was not a big problem, but it also gave a huge blow to the sailors on those ships. Strike, but they didn't know that there was a pack of wolves waiting for them below. The one running at the front was the "Lng Su", with a displacement of 3709 tons and a speed of 24 knots. The captain was the later famous Togo Heihachiro "Zero-1" submarine. The captain was Luo Shijun, the submarine commander who was determined to join the naval combat force. As soon as he saw the two warships bombarding the "Lng Sui", his eyes were fixed on the water next to the periscope. Later, he reported the distance of the enemy warships to him: "Two thousand yards" "Fifteen hundred yards" "One mile""No." He turned around and shouted: "No. 1 and No. 2 tubes are ready to load torpedoes." "No. 1 tube is ready." " "No. 2 tube is ready. " "Eight hundred yards" "Seven hundred yards. " "Great No. 1" After a pause, he shouted again: "No. 2" Two torpedoes rushed out from the tube and took a stream of white lng flowers straight to the "Lng Speed". See The two torpedoes that suddenly emerged from the water were behind the spraying lng flowers. In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of him. No matter how good his military qualities were, Togo Heihachiro was not good enough. He dodged the first torpedo, but he could only watch helplessly. As the second torpedo rushed toward his warship, he couldn't help but close his eyes and felt the warship shake. Then there was a violent explosion from behind. The rear of the warship was attacked by the torpedo and the propulsion part of the warship was damaged. The speed immediately slowed down. The "Akitsusu" following closely behind him saw that it had increased its power and rushed forward desperately. Two torpedoes hit him, but the angle was not very good. "Akitsusu" escaped, and it finally broke through the submarine blockade and fled eastward. Only "Akitsusu" escaped in this battle. The third-ranked "Takachiho" was mainly attacked by the "Tianshan" and " The "Taishan" care ship has become a fire. The sailors are nervously putting out the fire, but the airship above them will not let you put out the fire. Their heavy machine guns are constantly sweeping, and from time to time, an aerial bomb drops down. The fire The fire was caused by the bitter and sour fried yo, which was a high temperature of 2,000 degrees. Watering them with fire hoses from a distance was like adding fuel to the fire. The captain of "Takachiho" was Sadao Nomura. The "smart" man saw that he was really desperate, so he immediately ordered the white flag to be hoisted and stopped resisting. Text Chapter 219 The Ancestor of Guerrilla Warfare Text Chapter 219 The Ancestor of Guerrilla War Chapter 219 The Ancestor of Guerrilla War Chapter 219 The Ancestor of Guerrilla War The Japanese warships at the rear are the "Yoshino" and the "itsukushima". The "Huashan" behind them has already caught up, and now a formation has been formed. There is no point in continuing the four-on-two fight. The most seriously injured captain of the "Yoshino" Tsuboi Kozo ordered his soldiers to surrender, but he went to find their commander-in-chief and stabbed his beloved saber directly. I saw on my belly that the "Yoshino" first hoisted a white flag and then the "Itsukushima" also hoisted a white flag. When the "Lng Su" saw that they were the only ones left, they also raised the white flag and surrendered. At this point, the more than five hours of battle in the Yellow Sea ended. The Fangcheng Navy sank two Japanese naval warships, the "Hashidate" and the "Chiyoda", and captured the "Matsushima", "Lng Su" and "Takachiho". There were a total of five warships, including the Yoshino and Itsukushima, and none of them were lost. However, the surface of the hulls of the "Huashan" and "Songshan" were also greatly damaged. Many places were burned and deformed by the fire. However, they sank two warships, captured one warship, and wounded four. In fact, they have made great contributions, but their warships are also going to the factory for overhaul. The Beiyang Navy sank three Japanese ships, the "Akagi", "Fuso" and "Hiei" and captured the "Saikyo Maru". At the same time, the Beiyang Navy also lost five ships: "Chaoyong", "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Guangjia", and "Guangbing". The others were basically injured. There are still a few small warships that can no longer be used, but we can't talk about it here, just a big victory. After returning to Tianjin, Ding Ruchang immediately reported to Li Hongzhang and then gave the court a statement describing the situation of the Dadonggou naval battle in detail and explaining the situation of the Fangcheng Navy to the court one by one, mainly to say that he had obtained The combined fleet that defeated Japan has disappeared from this world. The next day, the "Morning Bell" sponsored by Xinghua Group first published the news of the joint operation of the squadron of Beiyang Navy and Fangcheng Navy to annihilate the Japanese Navy. Photos of several Japanese main warships covered with fire and flying white flags were also published on it. . At the same time, it is also published below that the Chinese people raided and arrested more than 600 Japanese spies day and night. At this time, the entire country was trapped. The ministers in the DPRK and China did not talk about the victory of the Beiyang Navy but attacked each other. However, their leaders all pointed at Li Hongzhang, saying that he had misled the country and the entire Beiyang Navy had cost the country tens of millions of taels. The war for money was not as good as the militia that had only been established for a few years in Fangcheng, and they didn't even need the court's money. Some people are clamoring to promote Li Zhenhua, but how can he be promoted if he has already reached this level? Besides, he doesn't like adding those false claims to him, but they are so noisy that they still have their eyes fixed on North Korea, who is not fighting over there? It's so lively. At this time, Ye Zhichao was still on the way to escape. A few days later, news of Ye Zhichao's defeat in Korea reached the capital. Another secret letter also reached the emperor's hands, saying that Ye Zhichao abandoned his army and ran for 500 miles for six days to escape in embarrassment. The more than 2,000 soldiers passed through Fangcheng. The emperor, who was rescued by more than a hundred security guards who were some ordinary people who fought bravely with the Japanese army, was furious and immediately ordered that Ye Zhichao be taken back to the capital for questioning. At the same time, Song Qing was sent to be the president of the Qing army's Yalu River defense line to control Nie Shi from all the armies. The Vice President prepared to block the Japanese troops at the Yalu River and prevent them from crossing the river. Ye Zhichao, who had returned from Pyongyang, stopped escaping by the Yalu River, but he was still afraid that the Japanese army would catch up. But soon he received an imperial decree from the court to capture him in Beijing. Ye Zhichao knew that he was finished this time. He thought about it. Go and drink a glass of poisonous wine so that his family members will not be held accountable by the court. Now the Qing army and the Japanese army are on the battlefield in Korea. The Qing army has been defeated. They have lost all the land in Korea. They can only rearrange new defense lines along the Yalu River. On the battlefield at sea, the squadron defeated Japan. There are no large warships left to go out, but the Beiyang Navy can no longer fight in the open sea. Their warships must undergo major repairs. However, the navy that defends the city said that their warships need The uninjured warships undergoing major repairs are going to the south to continue escorting the merchant fleet. They have all withdrawn to the south. After a battle in the Yellow Sea, the navy of Fangcheng had high morale. However, when an order came, they sailed south. After simple repairs and replenishments in Weihai, the "Huashan" and "Songshan" stayed behind to lead four ships. The submarines went to Tsushima Strait. Infantrymen from two regiments drawn from the troops of Li Biao and Xiao Guoqiang went with them to Tsushima Island on merchant ships. "Tianshan" and "Taishan" went directly to the sea of ??Japan. The purpose of naval operations is to control the sea. Now Li Zhenhua will not let this place go. He wants to control this place in his own hands and give the Japanese Army the lifeline.It cuts off all supplies. In addition, don't you want to attack our Liaodong area? Then I will capture your Tsushima first. Then the Japanese Army will have no ability in the Liaodong area. The Tsushima Island that people usually talk about is actually two islands: Tsushima Island in the north and Mizu Island in the south. All military supplies in Japan are now transported from Sasebo, Nagasaki, and Kyushu. These routes all pass through Tsushima. The entire Strait passes in front of Tsushima or Mizushima. As long as you occupy Tsushima, it is equivalent to strangling their necks. The Japanese military facilities on Tsushima and Mitsu Island should be complete, but the only thing they did not expect was that this important island would fall into the hands of the squadron. Although there are some forts and several small warships on the island, in "Huashan" Under the powerful firepower of the "Songshan" and "Songshan", all the forts collapsed and all the small ships fell into the hands of the Chinese. After the troops rushed to the beach and landed, they immediately began to clean up the place. Each army dispatched small units to conduct a careful search here and investigate every aboriginal person in Japan. If you obey us, we will give you a stable place to survive there. If you are disobedient, we will destroy you. Those who were seriously influenced by Japanese militarism would not obey. They took up arms and carried out "guerrilla warfare" against the squadron. They did not expect that those Chinese people were the ancestors of "guerrilla warfare". They played a lot with the French in Annan. Nowadays, if the Japanese want to play with themselves, they are too far behind. Text Chapter 220 Occupy Tsushima and Sulfur Ball Text Chapter 220: Occupying Tsushima and Suqiu Chapter 220: Occupying Tsushima and Suqiu Chapter 220: Occupying Tsushima and Suqiu After several days of suppression, they squeezed those Japanese who dared to resist to the northernmost part of Tsushima Island Then a prisoner was sent to them and sent a letter ordering them to immediately lay down their weapons and surrender, but they did not agree and the prisoner killed a regiment commander of the fifth division who is now the garrison commander of Tsushima. Wang Gang immediately ordered to They opened fire, and the mortars immediately fired incendiary bombs at them. The woods where the Japanese were hiding immediately began to burn. The Japanese soldiers and those who disobeyed the orders soon began to cry and howl. Some of the people they threatened immediately cried and shouted to them. The squadron came running over here. The Japanese army immediately shot at them, but another burst of shells hit them and all those people disappeared from the world. After the suppression, the remaining people were gathered together and allowed to continue their original production and life, but an area was set aside for them where they could move completely. Farmers could farm, but fishermen were not allowed to go to the sea for the time being. It was more dangerous. All the fishing boats were gathered together and no one could move these boats without the permission of the garrison commander. Li Zhenhua has already had many ways to manage them. First, separate the Chinese people into the first class, who can move around freely. The second class is Korean, and the conditions must be stricter. The other Japanese are the third class, allowing them to adopt the joint protection law election. Every day, if you find someone who violates the regulations, you will be held responsible for the responsibility of your own person. The second is to hold the person in charge and his family members responsible. For those who are disobedient, they are fourth-class people every day. If there is any problem when reporting to the garrison, it must be dealt with. d. Provide production assistance to some indigenous people who perform better. Anyway, I don¡¯t want to wipe them all out. This will be my territory from now on. It would be better to have more people. In addition, all the strong labor is organized to build fortifications for the garrison. Young Japanese women also have to serve in the army, which can give those laborers part of their compensation. Of course, those Japanese women can also do "" work, but they are not professionals. If some warriors like the person they like, they can also become someone's concubine or daughter-in-law. A large amount of building materials such as cement and steel were transported, and the forts on the shore were rebuilt. Now they are permanent fortifications of reinforced concrete. This has become a barrier guarding Japan and North Korea. In addition, two advanced warships and Some small gunboats have completely blocked the Tsushima Strait. The Japanese Army's supplies can no longer pass under their noses. But after all, the sea is too big and there are many places that cannot be guarded. They can also smuggle some at night. Materials were provided to support the Japanese army in Korea. Those submarines are also patrolling on the water. Their speed of fourteen knots is not slow, and they are still capable of dealing with those merchant ships. The Japanese army can only take a detour to deliver supplies to North Korea. However, under the defense of the Chinese Navy, a large amount of their supplies fell into the hands of the Chinese. Only a few ships could sneak over and the navy seized a large number of weapons and ammunition transported by the Japanese. Those things are of no use but they cannot be transported there, but those ships, food, supplies, etc. are very useful, so they will all be left behind. "Tianshan" and "Taishan" sailed directly to the southeast. The destination of their trip was the Ryukyu Islands. It turned out that it was a territory of China, and now they must take it back. The current Ryukyu Island is nominally occupied by Japan, but there are not many Japanese occupying troops on the island because most of their troops have gone to North Korea. However, there are only a few thousand people on several large islands, and they are all If Li Zhenhua, the second-line army, decided to send troops here at this time, it would naturally be a huge advantage. Didn't the Qing government think about it? How could we not think of it? The navy's cannons were aimed at their fortifications on the shore. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the fierce artillery fire woke up the Japanese troops from their dreams. They felt as if it was the end of the world. The shells kept pounding down, and all the Japanese fortifications were shrouded in artillery fire. The artillery fire continued until dawn, beating the Japanese occupying troops to pieces and causing numerous casualties. Then the infantrymen holding the dragon flag high rushed up. They landed on land from the central part of Ryukyu. The intelligence personnel who had already been dispatched were already familiar with the situation of the Japanese occupying forces. Only a regiment of troops came. The Japanese troops were cleared from north to south. The Japanese army could not organize an effective resistance at all. Under the rapid attack of the squadron, they retreated to the seaside in panic and raised their hands to surrender. By noon, there were no fully organized Japanese troops on the entire island. This island is completely under the control of the squadron. With the help of intelligence personnel, those soldiers found the original king of Ryukyu and said to him: "From now on, you are the noble of this island. All your property is still yours, but you want to Cooperate with us in managing the island.???Seeing that the Chinese soldiers were very kind to him, he had nothing to say. Anyway, it was uncomfortable to live as a slave to a subjugated country. Now that he saw his superiors coming, he had to cooperate on his own. That was no problem at all. If he couldn't manage it, he completely agreed. In the future, agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishery production must be appropriately developed here. At the same time, this is a barrier to the country. A young governor, Qian Yue, took office. His task was to guard this land, build and manage everything here, and build a defensive island offshore China. Chain is an important part of it. Qian Yue is very good at management. He first decided to borrow money from Xinghua Bank to build a large port to facilitate the replenishment and repair of ships traveling from various places. He encouraged local people to carry out production, planting, fishing and fishery processing, and then put his own The products are shipped to the mainland for sale so that all of this can be saved and you don't have to rely solely on the support of the mainland in the future. In the future, the minerals on the island will be surveyed and if there are things that can be used, they will be mined so that they can become rich soon. In many places, we still need to have more contact with Taiwan to facilitate communication. In the future, we will build a dedicated telephone and telegraph line for them directly to the mainland and Taiwan. If something happens, we will know it quickly. We don¡¯t have to deal with it as before. It was necessary to take a boat back and forth to deliver the letter. When Qian Yue arrived in Taiwan, he met Liu Mingchuan, the governor of Taiwan, and informed him of some of the things explained above. Liu Mingchuan was a very discerning man. He saw that the mainland was already vigorously building railways, and he was very interested. He also wanted to overhaul the railways in Taiwan. Railway, he also agreed to contact more with the sulfur ball in the future to protect the sulfur ball, but he also pointed out that Taiwan's naval power is insufficient. If possible, please ask Mr. Li to support some maritime weapons. Qian Yue told him that the chief has already dealt with this matter. After considering you, you will be the front line of national defense. He has already said that he cannot ignore you. This made Liu Mingchuan very happy and sent a letter to Li Zhenhua to express his gratitude. The island chain surrounding China must be in its own hands. It is impossible to continue to be the same as before. Japan is finished. The remaining Li Zhenhua is about to prepare to challenge the world. Text Chapter 221 The Desolate ¡°Longevity Celebration¡± Text Chapter 221 The desolate "Longevity Celebration" Chapter 221 The desolate "Longevity Celebration" Chapter 221 The desolate "Longevity Celebration" Now Japan, North Korea and China are in a tangle. The Japanese gambled on the fate of their country. They did not expect it to be like this. One ending is that, first of all, the officials in charge of intelligence work have all committed suicide and died. Japan's base camp against China is also in panic. They did not expect that the navy they had spent ten years preparing for for ten years would be over in a single battle, and they had given it to them in vain. captured several Chinese warships. Those very outstanding naval officers like Ito Yuhiro, Togo Heihachiro, Tsuboi Kozo, etc. are all geniuses of the navy. But they either died of suicide or were captured. They will never become the pride of Japan again. Now they are just Can be Japan's sinner. The Emperor of Japan couldn't sit still anymore. He hurriedly summoned his subordinates to hold an imperial meeting to discuss the current situation and study the next step for Japan. The ministers who attended the meeting all sat there on their knees as if their fathers were dead. The emperor is so angry that you are talking. It turns out that you are all going crazy and want to attack Korea to deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. How come you are all finished after one battle? Feeling that he had made a big mistake, Dasong Hirofen saw that the whole place was lifeless and he had no choice but to cheer people up again. He bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, we have not lost yet. Although our navy has been defeated, our army has defeated those braided soldiers across the Yalu River and entered the land of the Qing Dynasty. Even if we negotiate with them, we have to wait until we occupy them." The large tract of land can only be carried out later, otherwise we will have no bargaining chips." His words made the emperor sober. Some other ministers also agreed with him. Yes, we still have the power to fight. The infantry of the Qing Dynasty are not our opponents. of. Although their soldiers are very brave, most of the officers are greedy for life and afraid of death. They will definitely lose to us. But a relatively sober minister immediately asked: "Our navy is not good. How can the army's military supplies be transported to China?" Dasong Bowen said: "First, our army still has sufficient supplies. At the same time, they can get supplies from the Qing Dynasty." Secondly, we need to ask for help from our allies and know that the British are on our side. "Yes, how can we forget this? The British have always been on our side. They are the world." The most powerful country in the world, we went to war with the Qing Dynasty, and they secretly agreed to it and expressed their gratitude to us for their support. I think those Chinese people would not dare to fight against the British. We should ask them for help, and they should also support us. The emperor immediately said to Prime Minister Hirobumi Ohmatsu and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mutsu Sou: "I leave the matter to you, you can handle it." Ohmatsu Hirobumi and Mutsu Sou immediately bowed to the emperor and expressed their agreement. At this time, another minister said: "The prince-in-law of the Qing Dynasty is so hateful. We must send people to kill him. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have lost so miserably." All ministers agreed to impose sanctions on Li Zhenhua, but It was obviously not possible for the military to go out, so the Ministry of Intelligence arranged for some Japanese civil organizations to select the best personnel to go to China to assassinate him. At the same time, the Japanese troops in Korea were ordered to step up their attack on the Qing troops on the west bank of the Yalu River. Materials and other supplies should be solved locally as much as possible, and war should be supported by war to lay a good foundation for future wars. The Japanese Foreign Minister was negotiating with the British and asked for help from the British. The Japanese army in Korea stepped up preparations for offensive operations. The First Army was commanded by the commander, General Aritomo Yamagata, and included the Third Division, including Lieutenant General Katsura Taro and Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki. The Fifth Division has a total of 30,000 people. The commander of the Second Army is General Oyama Iwa. It includes the Second Division of Lieutenant General Sakuma Matata and the Sixth Division of Lieutenant General Kuroki Moraki, with a total of more than 25,000 people. Faced with the huge victory achieved by the squadron in annihilating the Japanese navy at sea, their current situation has become very difficult. The entire supply line has fallen into the hands of the Chinese. And His Majesty the Emperor sent a telegram to Cui urging them to advance as soon as possible. They convened a meeting on the front line to discuss the advance. Because they blocked the news of the navy's defeat, the junior officers did not know that their navy was finished. Their morale was still very high, which made the two generals full of confidence in victory. Shanxian Youpeng and Dashanyan decided to launch an attack on the Qing army on October 24. After some preparations, the First Army swam across the river at the mouth of the Anping River in the upper reaches of the Yalu River. At night, the Japanese army built a pontoon bridge on the Yalu River near Hushan. The Qing army did not. On the morning of Operation Discovery, a large number of Japanese troops launched an attack on the Qing troops stationed in Hushan through the pontoon. Although Nieshicheng and Ma Jinxu's troops had persisted in resisting. However, due to the overwhelming number of Japanese troops, the Qing troops were weak and suffered heavy casualties. They were forced to withdraw from the battle. The Japanese troops occupied the Hushan position. After hearing that the Japanese troops occupied Hushan, other Qing troops fled without fighting. On the 26th, the Japanese troops ShunIn less than three days, the Yalu River defense line garrisoned by 30,000 Qing troops collapsed completely after occupying Jiulian City and Anton. A large number of weapons, artillery and military supplies fell into the hands of the Japanese army, which gave the Japanese army the strength to continue fighting. The 25,000 men of the Second Army commanded by General Dashanyan landed at Huayuankou, the back road of Lushun, under the cover of a group of cargo ships and small warships he had pieced together (at this time, the Beiyang Navy had to repair all its warships to defend the city. It was only because they were blocking the Tsushima Strait that they could sneak across successfully) It took twelve days for the Japanese army to land, but all the Qing troops actually turned a blind eye. On November 6, the Japanese army entered Jinzhou and captured Dalian without fighting in seven days. It turned out that there was The Qing army had already fled. November 7th happens to be the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi (the tenth day of October in the lunar calendar). Although she has canceled her "Longevity Celebration", she still held a small celebration in her garden on this day. Some comparisons The recent royal relatives and officials all came to wish her birthday. Of course, some officials from other places also sent congratulatory messages or letters. The gifts that should be sent have been sent long ago, but the letters still need to be delivered on this day. of. The chief manager, Li Lianying, was busy collecting congratulatory letters from various places. Suddenly, a little eunuch walked up to him in a panic and hesitated. Li Lianying was busy. When he saw the little eunuch, he wanted to kick him: "I'm busy here, you little bastard. I'm so busy here. What are you going to do for me? If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly." He said that it must be handed over to the old Buddha as soon as possible." The little eunuch finally took out the battle report. He didn't dare to say anything casually. Today is the Queen Mother's "Longevity Celebration". If this package goes up, it won't be good for him. will be lost. Text Chapter 222 The Difficulties of the Chief Manager Text Chapter 222 The Difficulties of the General Manager Chapter 222 The Difficulties of the General Manager Chapter 222 The Difficulties of the General Manager Li Lianying snatched the battle report and started reading it before he broke into a cold sweat after reading it. It turned out that it said What's more, yesterday on the 9th of October, the Japanese army entered Jinzhou and the Qing army retreated again. Li Lianying was holding this battle report, and he was also murmuring whether this report would be accepted. If it came up, the Queen Mother would never give him a good face. If it didn't come up, the Queen Mother had already said that if there was any urgent military information or battle report, no matter what she was doing. To report to her. But this day, it really made things difficult for me. Seeing that the chief steward's face was not good-looking, the little eunuchs under him also stopped their work and looked at him with their eyes. But soon Li Lianying started to curse: "Hurry up and work for me, one by one." You have no eyesight." After thinking about it, Li Lianying made up his mind. He put the battle report into his sleeve and pressed it down. He couldn't report anything on this day. Even if the Queen Mother scolded him in the future, it would only be a recognition of his master. It's not easy. Let these hateful little Japanese mess up the master's "Longevity Celebration". What about the capabilities of those war factions? Lafayette said I won't fight but you insist on fighting? No, if it weren't for General Li, I'd like to see how you end up. "Oh, don't worry about anything else. Go out and let the Queen Mother scold you. I'll take care of this." After Li Lianying thought about it, he started to get busy again. It wasn't until the banquet was held in the evening that he felt relieved. But when he looked up, he saw the little eunuch coming again, standing in the distance and waving to Li Lianying. da8 Rapid Updates Li Lianying almost fainted when she saw him coming again. My living ancestor, couldn't you just suppress the matter and tell me tomorrow? He didn't even think about who would have the courage? Li Lianying shook his head and calmed down. He walked towards the little eunuch. He kept thinking in his heart, "Don't let anything big happen again. My heart can't stand such a torment." When the little eunuch saw the chief steward coming, he was about to come over. Li Lianying glared at him hard and stopped him in his tracks. He watched Li Lianying walk to a place where no one was around, and he hurriedly followed him to a secluded place. This time the eunuch stopped talking nonsense and handed a telegram directly to Li Lianying. Li Lianying was really afraid to read it. He paused in his hand and finally opened the telegram: "Today, the tenth day of October, the Japanese army captured Dalian. The Qing army Continue to retreat." Seeing this, Li Lianying hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold on the pillar. He steadied himself and said to the little eunuch: "Okay, you can go down." After staying for a while, Li Lianying sighed: "These Japanese are really good at choosing the right time. Ah, today is the master's longevity celebration." After saying that, he stamped his foot and put the battle report into his sleeve. No matter what, I must let the master spend this day happily. For the Empress Dowager Cixi¡¯s birthday, Li Zhenhua just asked Yaqi to send her a telegram saying that he and his consort were having a hard time and were staring at the Japanese in Shanghai. He would make up for the gifts in the future and he would definitely give the Empress Dowager a big gift. On October 11th, Empress Dowager Cixi got up early. The recent rampant Japanese attacks and the defeat of the Qing troops made her feel very uncomfortable. However, there was no battle report yesterday, which made her feel something was wrong, but she endured it. She didn't ask in her mind until breakfast time when she couldn't help it anymore and started asking Li Lianying. "Xiao Lizi, how come the Liaodong side has been quiet in the past two days and I haven't seen them come back with any battle reports?" Li Lianying was also thinking about fetching water in fifteen buckets at this time. How could she tell Lafayette about this? ? When the Empress Dowager Cixi asked him about it, he immediately knelt down and said to the Empress Dowager: "Old Buddha, please forgive me for the crime of deceiving the emperor." "If you have something to do, just say it and don't act like that." "Please tell the Empress Dowager. Lord Buddha, there was a battle report from Liaodong yesterday. I thought it was your longevity celebration and I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I suppressed it and let you know today." He took out the two battle reports from his arms. "Bold" The Empress Dowager Cixi snorted coldly, and a young eunuch next to her transferred the battle report from Li Lianying's hands to the Empress Dowager Cixi's. The Empress Dowager Cixi took it in her hand and read it. In fact, she was now numb. The battle reports came one after another without any good news. After reading the two battle reports, she just said: "These are useless slaves." She took another look at the kneeling Li Lianying, who was on the ground, said lazily: "For the sake of your filial piety, I will spare you this time." Li Lianying hurriedly kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Thank you for your grace." After saying that, she stood up wiping cold sweat. He said in his heart: Master didn't get angry this time. You have to be careful in the future. In front of the Japanese army was Lushun, the hometown of the Beiyang Navy. They rested for ten days and began to attack Lushun. At this time, the troops of the Beiyang NavyMost of the ship was injured and has been transferred to Weihai for repairs. The other thirty battalions of the Qing army were under the control of Gong Zhaoxuan, the former general office of the enemy's camp affairs office. This man was known as the "hidden commander" and had 13,000 men under his command. The Japanese army came to attack the "hidden commander" and hid himself. His troops fled to Yantai in a torpedo boat. Six of the seven commanders stationed in Lushun escaped. Only Xu Bangdao led the army and fought hard. How could they be undefeated? On the 21st, the Japanese army launched a general offensive and occupied Lushun the next day. After the Japanese army captured Lushun, they hated the Qing army for resisting them and brutally massacred the city. They adopted the policy of killing everyone, burning everything, and robbing everyone. The fire burned in Lushun for three days and three nights. The Japanese army did all kinds of evil to them here. They burned down the house and killed the people they saw. They rushed up like a swarm of swarms, and then they brutally tore into pieces the body of the dead girl who had been tortured by them. In the end, only thirty-six people were left in the entire city of Lushun, which was used to carry corpses for them. This incident was announced by the "Morning Bell" newspaper and caused great repercussions in the world. All countries are blaming Japan. The crimes committed by people in China. Leaders at all levels of Xinghua Group Company publicly condemned the criminal acts of the Japanese in newspapers. This made people across the country have great resentment against the Japanese. At this time, the Qing government did not express anything, which made the people all over the country feel very disappointed with the Qing government. People highly praised Xinghua Group Company. A large number of donations were collected from various places. Xinghua Group Company's institutions in various places received it. A large amount of donations, especially the families of those soldiers who died in the battle, are respected by relatives, friends, neighbors, and local governments. In some places in Anhui, "Shrines of Immortality" have to be built for them. Similarly, those soldiers who had made meritorious service in the battle received good news of their meritorious service from Xinghua Group Company in their homes. This made the villagers happy again. Everyone beat the gongs and drums to deliver the good news of their meritorious service to the soldiers. Since ancient times, it has been a great achievement for the family to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Especially when dealing with the Japanese who are like livestock, people admire them even more. The commendation from above is for the fact that the poor and down-to-earth villagers took the initiative to take on all the farm work at home. This is also a sign of respect for the sacrifices.

Now with Empress Dowager Cixi The peace faction headed by them has completely gained the upper hand. Although they won a great victory in the sea battle, their army is not good enough. Hundreds of thousands of troops can't deal with the Japanese's march. If they pass Shanhaiguan, the entire Zhili will be exposed. Under the eyes of the Japanese. They unanimously requested that the great powers of various countries come forward to mediate. At this time, Li Hongzhang had no idea to fight. Looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, there were no more soldiers to fight. If he didn't fight, he had to fight (because Li Zhenhua had told him that others could not fight. Only he would not fight. No.) He wanted to ask Li Zhenhua for an idea, but Li Zhenhua didn't know where he was at this time. He was in a hurry and couldn't do anything, so he fell ill. The Lord Peace sent them to ask the ministers of Britain, France, and Russia to mediate. However, those countries only wanted to make money from China and were not sincerely willing to help China. After several contacts with the Japanese army, they did not receive a reply from the Japanese army. Besides, those Japanese troops didn't listen to them at all. At this time, Shanxian Youto and Dashanyan were like crazy. They wanted to gain more benefits in China to add bargaining chips to the negotiations. They began to attack Liaoning with the intention of destroying the navy. Retrieve it on land. Seeing that the Qing army was so vulnerable, they were now preparing to attack Weihai. The Qing army had already been frightened by the Japanese army. When they heard that the Japanese army was coming, they immediately fled. The remaining warships of the Beiyang Navy must be there. Take it back to replenish your navy. So they began to prepare for a bigger battle, which was to fight across the sea to destroy the army as far away as Weihai and seize a group of warships of the Beiyang Navy to regain some capital for their navy. The two madmen, Shanxian Youpeng and Dashanyan, decided to split their troops into two groups. Shanxian Youpeng led the first army of more than 20,000 people in order to continue attacking the hinterland of Liaoning and capture Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, directly facing the Qing ruling center. Dashanyan led his The Second Army, with 25,000 men, set out from the North Korean port all the way. They wanted to cross the sea to attack Weihai, another base of the Beiyang Navy, and completely eat up the Beiyang Navy. Anyway, your Beiyang Navy doesn¡¯t have much strength now. I can even use wooden boats to cross the sea. Then the two groups of people will march to Beijing together and capture the political and economic center of the Qing Dynasty. Then I can intimidate the Qing government to sign a treaty and engage in a naval battle. shame. Didn¡¯t there already be a precedent when we attacked Dalian? We can also use wooden ships to attack Dalian and the victory is very good. Now we have obtained some small ships and ships of the Beiyang Navy from Lushun, which has increased our maritime power. But you must be on guard against the mysterious navy of Li Zhenhua's department. Now that their navy has only occupied Tsushima Island, they cannot take care of the rest. If they attack Weihai now, they must completely defeat you. When Li Zhenhua saw that the Second Army of the Japanese Army Oyama Rock began to return to North Korea, he knew what they were going to do. At the same time, intelligence personnel also reported that the Japanese army was collecting ships on a large scale. Li Zhenhua smiled, "I am waiting for you." So he smiled and said to Li Biao and Xiao Guoqiang said: "The Japanese are about to start taking action. The show is about to begin and we are about to start taking action." After full consideration, Dashanyan decided to avoid the firing range of Weihai's coastal defense artillery and land in Rongcheng. Then attack the back route of Weihai Beiyang Navy to the west. Although the journey to the sea is a little longer, if this is the case, this battle will be foolproof. After a period of preparation, Dashanyan decided to start the operation. It turned out that they started the operation in February 1895, but now they had to move forward because they no longer had the support of the navy, so they were ready to start in early December. Attacked. The information that the Japanese army was going to launch an attack in Rongcheng appeared in the hands of Li Zhenhua. He was in Shanghai to arrange things related to Ryukyu. When he saw that the Japanese army was coming, he immediately put down other work in his hands and rushed to Dongying. The two division commanders of Dongying had already been there. Paying attention to the incoming Japanese army, they discussed together and believed that the Japanese army was likely to launch an attack, so they decided to send a small reconnaissance force to conduct reconnaissance, evacuate all the people along the Japanese attack line, let the Japanese army in, and completely eliminate them without defeating them. The war started with a battle of annihilation and all the Second Army of Dashanyan was eaten. The officers all know that when the Qing army faced the Japanese army, tens of thousands of troops were immediately routed. But we wanted to eat them all. This is really a soldier's cowardice. One general is cowardly and his whole group is cowardly. The momentum of an official is different. You can't. Don't mention it, wasn't it the same against the French? The Qing army just ran away, but we won consecutive battles. Li Zhenhua immediately began to arrange a combat plan while mobilizing the "Huashan" and "Songshan" warships that were performing blockade missions on Tsushima Island. After the Japanese army completely landed, he captured all their ships used to transport supplies and soldiers and moved them to Laizhou Bay. If you go to get one, you can't let it go. Anyone who wants to escape will be sunk. 2. Xiao Guoqiang's department of the Sixth Division, with two artillery regiments as the main force, must be completely annihilated. Due to the consideration that Xiao Guoqiang's department lost one regiment, Li Zhenhua decided to transfer some of the Dongying militia to strengthen Xiao Guoqiang's department. Third, Li Biao of the fifth division The troops and two artillery regiments entered Liaoning through Tianjin and Shanhaiguan and arrived at the Liaohe River to station cameras on the front line and launch an attack on the Japanese army. If it was impossible to eliminate them, they would have to push the Japanese army back to North Korea. 4. All the people along the line from Rongcheng to Weihai have been transferred, and the Japanese cannot be allowed to harm the Chinese people. The efforts to clear the country on that front line cannot allow the Japanese army to get any food and supplies. The war machine of the Xinghua Group started nervously. The Fifth Division began to maneuver towards the north. They divided into two routes and marched on land. They marched straight to Tianjin and Shanhaiguan. The places they passed were all Lao Li's places. It didn't matter. They took the other route. By water, it is directly transported to Shanhaiguan by ship in Dongying. Due to Li Zhenhua's appearance, the Japanese army's invasion of Weihai was advanced by more than a month. On December 12, 1884, Oyama Iwa led the 2nd Division, including Lieutenant General Sakuma Matata and Lieutenant General Kuroki Shizhen's 2nd Division. The Sixth Division, a total of 25,000 people, successfully landed in Rongcheng. Although there were some Qing troops, they all fled immediately when they saw such a large number of Japanese troops. This increased Dashanyan's determination to capture Weihai. News that the Japanese troops had landed in Rongcheng quickly spread to the main battle police stations in Beijing and the peace faction. They all panicked and some were even considering whether to move the Queen Mother and the Emperor to the inland. Sincerely thank you readers for your "?KaKa?" tip. I wonder if you like it or just say: "Merry Christmas, friends." Today's chapter is updated for you. Text Chapter 224: Being blocked Chapter 224 of the text Chapter 224 of the blockade Chapter 224 of the blockage Chapter 224 of the blockage For three days, the Japanese troops moved day and night. They finally completed the landing. When they wanted to replenish here, they found that there was nothing, no one, and no one here. There were not even a cat or a dog, and even the wells had been filled in by the people. The Chinese people who wanted to keep warm had their windows and mn boards shipped away. They could only head towards the back road of Weihai, and on the way they could only drink some water from the depressions, and the water was terribly salty. They don't know that they are heading towards death. A soldier from the front of Dashanyan, who was riding towards Weihai on horseback, came back and reported: "The vanguard is already thirty miles away from Weihai, but Qing troops were found here. Please give instructions to the commander." "Drive them away and don't let them hinder our attack. Weihai ordered the troops behind him to speed up. "Da Shanyan didn't expect anyone to stop them. It was probably because the officer of the Qing army had some problem and he dared to come and die. We have already reached Weihai. Dashanyan stopped his steps and let his soldiers start to camp and rest. He had to wait for the troops in front to drive away the Qing people. At the same time, his troops should also be deployed. Dashanyan was mobilizing his troops and was about to start taking action, but a soldier's report ruined all his original plans: "Report to your Excellency, Commander, that a regiment of our army's attack was blocked. They lost more than half of their soldiers and did not take a step forward to request the Commander." Give support. Search on Baidu (Hand-type chapter) "What?" Dashanyan shouted. Does the Qing army still have such troops? He has never seen a Qing army that can block our advance. It turns out that other Qing troops here are indeed He had already escaped. At this time, there was a battalion-level commander named Zhou Jiaen who led more than 3,000 Qing troops to guard him. Some of his men were soldiers sent from Fangcheng. He admired the Dongying troops. Under their leadership, the combat effectiveness of their troops has been greatly improved. Now they have built a defensive position more than 30 miles away. They are desperately guarding against the Japanese troops, but they have also suffered heavy losses and the morale of the soldiers has dropped to the extreme. Dashanyan looked at the sky and ordered everyone to rest on the spot. He would personally supervise the battle tomorrow, otherwise he would not be able to complete his scheduled mission. Dashanyan started to rest in his tent. Sitting there in a daze, my Second Army had not received any supplies since the landing. Each of the soldiers only brought two days of dry food. They thought they would be replenished soon, but the Qing people built a strong wall here and Qingye had nothing. If he didn't get it, he had to get Weihai to the Beiyang Navy as soon as possible to get replenishment. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. The navy was completely wiped out. The people below didn't know, but he knew that if he also encountered the Qing Dynasty. What would happen to the general himself? He didn't dare to think about it anymore. He reached out and grabbed the female lieutenant who was spreading her lips for him and quickly tore off her clothes. He wanted to use this method to drive away the fear in his heart. Feeling. The lieutenant had already rubbed her arm in his mouth. Although her arm was very painful from being scratched by the general, she could not scream. She could only let this evil wolf-like person lie on her body and let him Her body alleviated some of the fear of war for him without any foreplay. Although it hurt, she endured the pain and catered to the general's needs and made some movements and sounds that pleased him. She knew this man's temper. If he was unhappy, he would make his life worse than death. Before Dashanyan could feel any comfort in the woman underneath him, he was already exhausted. After venting his anger, he fell on the marching lip and fell asleep outside the Japanese army's station. Gunshots rang out everywhere, and the panicked Japanese troops all got up. Before they could react, there was soon no movement outside. But as soon as the troops took a break, gunfire rang out again. This time, there was actually small artillery fire joining in. The troops came again. After a while, there were four or five commotions outside overnight, which made the Japanese soldiers miserable. Later, the exhausted commander simply sat on the ground and survived the night. The soldiers got up listlessly. The whole team gathered and the food was getting less and less. Each person only shared a small amount of food. They started to move forward again at Dashanyan. When they arrived at the position of the Qing army yesterday, they saw that there was no one on the other side. The opponent had already given up the position. Actively retreated. Although the opponent took the initiative to retreat, Dashanyan felt that the opponent was still afraid of his army of more than 20,000, so he ordered the troops to continue advancing. However, before they had gone far, gunshots came from both sides again. When he stopped advancing, he wanted to attack them. When they launched the attack, they walked away in style. Why do you say they were cool? I saw a pair of skis and a pole under each of those people's feet.The ground swayed left and right and people disappeared. Dashanyan had no choice but to order the troops to send security guards on both sides to cover the advance of the large forces. As a result, the soldiers responsible for security were in trouble for the soldiers who were hundreds of meters away. The marksmanship was surprisingly good. When the cavalry were about to pursue them, they slipped away gracefully. It was after noon that they arrived at Dashanyan, the outskirts of Weihai, and immediately ordered to capture the Qing army's Nanbang fort as soon as possible. One regiment concentrated its forces to attack Weihaiwei's Nanbang Fort and other troops prepared to attack the Beiyang Navy. The Qing troops stationed at the Nanbang Fort are only guarded by the six battalions that Zhou Jiaen has crippled and more than a thousand people. In yesterday's battle, there were already half casualties. He ordered the soldiers to defend the Motianling position. The rest of the Qing troops had already fled. Went to Laizhou. The Japanese side sent another urgent information. The Japanese side organized three small teams to enter China. Their purpose was to launch an attack on Li Zhenhua, and they must put Li Zhenhua to death quickly. After receiving the information, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh. Although the security forces around him at this time were not many, they could definitely be said to be as strong as a forest. The captain of the guard, Sun Feihu, was highly skilled in martial arts, accurate in shooting, and quick-witted. He turned out to be Li Biao's number one man. Li Biao went to the army to serve in the army. Before leaving, he gave him a lot of warnings, telling him not to do anything anymore and to protect the safety of the leader. If there is even the slightest mistake, you will be the eternal sinner of the entire Chinese nation. Sun Feihu understood this very well. He promised Li Biao that he must protect the safety of the chief, even if he encountered huge difficulties, he would not let the chief have any problems. To be honest, Li Biao was unwilling to leave, but he had one purpose, that is, he must obey the order. The commander allowed him to go to the army. This was an order. There was no hesitation in letting him go. Then he had to go and absolutely no bargaining was allowed. Text Chapter 225 The powerful guards Text Chapter 225 The Powerful Guards Chapter 225 The Powerful Guards Chapter 225 The Powerful Guards The intelligence staff officer Bian Xiaolong first showed Sun Feihu a look and then said to him: "Captain Sun, we will have 24 hours a day from now on." Pay close attention to all the movements around the chief, and take action immediately if there is a problem. I would rather make a mistake to ensure the safety of the chief. " Sun Feihu said, "Don't worry, Counselor Bian, I won't let anyone suspicious approach the chief. I will do the same right now. The emergency plan was formulated to prevent any danger from appearing around the leader. "Sun Feihu first called his family to inform him: "I ordered the Shanghai family to protect their wife and children." He also called Zhu Baosan of Shanghai Road. He dispatched a part of the police force, led by Xu Qingshan himself, to closely protect the chief's residence to prevent possible situations. Sun Feihu¡¯s problem here is easy to say. The original guard was very strict. Now it¡¯s just a matter of emphasizing some points that should be paid attention to. He just told the eight personal guards around Li Zhenhua individually to let them pay attention. These eight guards are naturally selected masters among masters. First of all, they are absolutely loyal to Li Zhenhua. They are also all good in skills. On the surface, these people look ordinary, but they all have their own strengths. Wei Yin Lin's The biggest advantage is that he has a natural alertness to danger. When he feels that there may be danger, everyone must be careful. There must be danger around him. Zhang Xiao is a shooting wizard. Others need to shoot. He is aiming, but he is not holding a rifle in his arms. There is a person throwing bottles in the distance. The gun can be shot in his arms. He does not need to aim, but he will not let a bottle fall on the ground. Song Lin is one of these guards. He is the tallest person, but his actions are surprisingly agile. Whenever there is a situation, he will immediately stand in front of Li Zhenhua. In his own words, I am the chief's "shield". Whenever the chief is in danger, he will appear. in front of the chief. d. The best way to practice Yang Shun's Qinggong is that you can't get out no matter how fast you go. He can walk on a tree. There are also Zhang Chuan's eight flying knives. They can hit wherever they point. They will never get out of hand. However, his target is usually chosen at the opponent's Adam's apple. Wu Gang always carries a big knife behind his back. Others are already dealing with cold weapons. I don¡¯t like it very much, but his big knife will never leave his side. Qiao Yiliang is also a good striker. He can hit the target accurately from a distance of 500 meters. At the same time, he is also the most careful person, but Tu Yiliang is a good striker. The characteristic of the Manchu people is that they are strong and good at hard work. These eight people usually follow Li Zhenhua. They carry a rifle and two pistols, which are placed openly and covertly. If you want to break through the defense line of the eight of them, it will probably take a company of soldiers to follow Li Zhenhua. As their duties changed, they felt that their burdens were getting heavier and heavier. When Li Zhenhua knew the abilities of these people, he said to Sun Feihu: "If you put these people by my side, how about letting them go to the troops below? Everyone can lead an excellent army." Sun Feihu's reply It's: "It's useless if there are more troops. Your safety is the most important thing. Besides, these people are not what I want, they are sent from various places." Indeed, these masters were selected by their senior generals for the chief. They don't dare to send bad people here casually. In the dark night, a wooden merchant ship docked on the riverside outside Wusongkou, Shanghai. Two small boats were hoisted down, and then a group of men in black came down from above. They got on the small boat and started rowing towards the shore. When they got to the shore, the people got off the boat and went back to pick them up again. The men in black waded ashore and the boat was hoisted back to the big ship. The merchant ship soon drove away. The men in black who had landed ashore quickly moved towards the city of Shanghai. As they approached the city, they divided into two groups and soon disappeared into the night. In the urban area of ??Shanghai, some foreigners, especially Japanese businesses and residences, the Shanghai police adopted a method of tightening internally and loosening externally. On the surface, it didn't seem to have any effect on them, but they have tightened supervision on them, especially after the Battle of the Yellow Sea. People's hatred has been further intensified. Some people also have great hatred for Japanese businessmen and business owners, and they are always looking for opportunities to deal with them. The Shanghai police have paid great attention to this and have tightened supervision on them. Those people have become much more honest and do not dare to take to the streets easily. If anything happens, some of their subordinates will come out to handle it. They rarely come out. On this day, a police team was performing a normal patrol. After mn passing by a Japanese wood factory, a policeman discovered some suspicious spots. There were traces of someone crawling on the wall of this house. They did not make any announcement. The l sound passed. In the afternoon, a beggar came here. He was wearing tattered clothes. He was holding a wooden stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other. He bent down and came from the area where the Japanese lived.He walked slowly by and no one noticed his eyes. They were extremely bright eyes. As soon as he passed there, he saw that there was some unnoticed sand on the ground here. This kind of sand should not be used. What appears here is the sand on the riverside. In addition, there should be many people standing here, but this seems to have been covered up consciously. "Did someone else come in secretly?" A question mark appeared in his mind. When he saw that he had reached the end, he walked back quickly and slowly. He also saw a place on the wall that had been stepped on, which you couldn't tell without looking carefully. The beggar smiled to himself and continued to walk slowly, bending down. In a house not far from this house, Shanghai Police Chief Xu Qingshan sat there and listened to the report of scout Fan Yong. He said that Xu Qingshan, the police chief, had been found beside the Japanese wall at that place. He had been the police chief for several months. In the past few months, he has made rapid progress. Some of his staff are very capable. They have successively cracked down several burglary criminals, which made him start to pay attention to criminal investigation. After hearing what the patrolling policeman said about his doubts, he immediately sent out his most capable police officers to take a closer look. Sure enough, there was something wrong with this Japanese family. If that was the case, then he should be more careful and check the origin of the sand. . Text Chapter 226 Shanghai Police in Action Text Chapter 226 Shanghai Police in Action Chapter 226 Shanghai Police in Action Chapter 226 Shanghai Police in Action So Fan Yong set off again. They went downstream along the Huangpu River to see them. Three hours later, they came back. Fan Yong reported to Xu Qingshan It was said that people were found coming up from the water at Wusongkou. The water traces there had dried up. There were quite a few people there, probably dozens of people. After they came ashore, they came towards the city. When they reached the edge of the city, they divided the city into two parts. They lost their traces due to the crowd, but it is certain that someone entered the Japanese wood factory because the sand already explained the problem. Xu Qingshan ordered his men to closely monitor the woodwork factory. He went to report to Zhu Baosan. After listening to Xu Qingshan's report, Zhu Baosan thought about the Japanese intelligence again. He knew that these people were going to attack Li Zhenhua. He immediately called Sheng Xuanhuai. Ask him to come over and discuss something. Zhu Baosan cursed hard in his heart and said: "Continuing to monitor so many of their people's meals is a problem." Sheng Xuanhuai arrived soon. He heard Zhu Baosan talk to him and thought their idea was right. He raised those people First, eating is a problem, and excretion is also a problem. First, we need to find ways to contact the people who come out to buy food. Second, we need to see what changes have occurred in their toilets. Early the next morning, the person in charge of buying vegetables in a Japanese home came out. He led two people to pull a flatbed truck on the street to buy vegetables, flour and rice. A young man went to say hello to him: "Brother Huang, it's rare to see him again." Are you going out to buy groceries?" "Yeah, brother, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you yet." "I'm just busy. I don't have anything serious to do. How can I buy so many things? You're not the only one doing the shopping. Why are there three of us now? "The boss said that there is a war in the north and he needs to prepare more things. He has been doing nothing for a long time. I don't see how anxious he is now. He has nothing to do and he has to prepare more things. I don't know what he is thinking." Fan Yong heard their words clearly. He knew that this person didn't know who his Japanese boss was. If this was the case today, let's see what happens to him tomorrow. On the third day, the cart responsible for hauling excrement in the woodwork factory went in and came out. Someone learned from him that this woodworks factory used to have a lot of excrement, but after the naval battle, their number of people was much smaller, but for some reason, their excrement returned. When there were more people, he said they hadn¡¯t gone to work yet. Where did these people come from? Similarly, there were still a lot of things bought on the third day. At the same time, Xu Qingshan learned from the monitors that extra sentries had been posted in their yard at night. Xu Qingshan was now sure that those outsiders were hiding in his home. Xu Qingshan arranged an encirclement and annihilation plan, using security guards from the machine company to surround the outside, and at the same time find some more skilled people to attack inside in order to capture them all alive. If they don't surrender, then wipe them all out and leave a hole in the west for a group of people. The two Japanese ran out and had someone follow them to where another group of people were trying to find them. As soon as Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhu Baosan and Xu Qingshan discussed it, they agreed to Xu Qingshan's plan and immediately closed the network to avoid long nights. So they transferred a company of security guards from the machine company. Xu Qingshan also selected some good players from himself. They wanted to deal with these Japanese. Take action. In the morning It was the time when people were most sleepy. Shanghai's military and police joint operations began. They quietly came to the Japanese woodwork factory and followed the battle plan that had been formulated. Some of them were responsible for encircling the soldiers who were responsible for the assault. They had been prepared for a long time. They quietly set up a ladder. The soldiers below made no sound as soon as they exerted their strength. A dexterous soldier, Qiao Feng, had already reached the top of the wall. Qiao Feng was not in a hurry to get down, but was using his eyes carefully. Making observations. A black shadow was standing below. It seemed that he was asleep and motionless. Qiao Feng jumped up and jumped down as soon as the black shadow moved. The knife in his hand gave off some flashes of light on the man's neck. The artery was already spurting out blood, and Qiao Feng stepped forward to support him and let him slowly fall to the ground. He walked forward again. In front of the big mn, there was another dark man sleeping with his back to him. Qiao Feng went up to him and stabbed his lower back with a saber. The man shivered in pain but could not make any sound. He gently stabbed him again. After the person was put down, someone else came down. Together they arrived in front of the mn. The soldiers outside had already added oil to the rotating shaft of the big mn. Two soldiers gently lifted the mn and opened it. More soldiers came in. The soldiers rushed towards the warehouse where the Japanese lived. But at this moment, they heard the sound of the mn in the warehouse and a man came out. It turned out that he came out to relieve himself, and saw him walking to the wall in a daze. Water started to pour out, but before his work was over, he already noticed someone coming in. He turned around quickly, picked up the bag and ran towards the house, but a flying knife had already penetrated his lower back.Hearing the sound of "gudong", the person fell to the ground. (Some people may ask why a person who is stabbed into the lower back will die but cannot make a sound because the human kidneys are on both sides of the waist. If a heavy blow occurs, severe pain will occur, but the person's voice cannot be made. So I said this is the place.) There was an immediate reaction in the room, and soon several men in black rushed out of the house with samurai swords commonly used by the Japanese. But when they saw the muzzles of the black guns in front of them, they were obviously scared, but one of them shouted: "Come for the emperor." The men in black hesitated, but they still rushed forward. If you want to die, then you can't blame others. Xu Qingshan immediately shouted: "Shoot!" "Bang, bang, bang," the gunfire sounded. The warriors rushed forward two steps and fell to the ground. Then they rushed out of the house. More Japanese samurai gunshots rang out again, and more people fell to the ground. Behind them, two men in black ignored their companions. They ran towards the west wall. There was a gunshot, and the man behind him fell. However, the person in front of him reached the wall. He jumped up and reached the top of the wall, and saw that he had disappeared in a flash. Xu Qingshan knew that someone was watching him outside and ignored him. He began to let his soldiers clean up the scene. Most of the men in black were dead, but there were still some who were not dead. A few soldiers went in to conduct a search and from inside. The soldiers pulled out two people and immediately tied them up and took them back for interrogation. Those who were still alive were briefly questioned, but they didn't say anything and they were dismissed as dead. Text Chapter 227: Hold on to Motian Ridge Text Chapter 227: Hold on to Motian Ridge Chapter 227: Hold on to Motian Ridge Chapter 227: Hold on to Motian Ridge The two Japanese seemed to be very afraid of death and their bodies kept shaking after grabbing them, but the police officers also paid attention to them. They were searched on the ground and even inside their mouths, and they were taken away only after they found that there was no problem. By the time we went to arrest the owner of the woodwork factory, he was already dead. Only his wife and one daughter were shaking in a ball on the side and he took them away. He left people to clean up the scene. Xu Qingshan escorted the people back to his police station and immediately started interrogating them. However, there was not much information about the solution. That is, they came to China just to eradicate Li Zhenhua. There were more than seventy people in total. Three groups, this is one group, and another group entered the western area of ??Shanghai. They did not expect that their group would be exposed so quickly and be eradicated by the Chinese. The person who went to follow him at dawn also came back. That person was Qiao Feng. It turned out that the place he went to was around Wanhangdu Road in Changning. There was a silk-cutting factory run by the Japanese. Qiao Feng chased him there without waiting for him. After asking Mn to follow him, he threw the throwing knife out again and handed him over. Then he dragged him aside and hid the body. Then he came back to report to Xu Qingshan. When Xu Qingshan saw that it was already dawn, he took action during the day for fear of hurting innocent people, but he did not wait until night to do so. However, he wanted to control the area during the day. It happened that there was a police station there, so he immediately called there to let them prepare. When he arrived, he asked them to cooperate in the arrest. First, they monitored the Japanese silk-cutting factory, but they could not alert the enemy. The police officers then disguised themselves and conducted strict surveillance on the silk-cutting factory. Soon, the military and police jointly launched a clearing operation here. All the Japanese were cleared, but according to their confessions, they were just one group and there was another group, but they didn't know where they went. I don¡¯t even know how many people were in that group. Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhu Baosan and Xu Qingshan felt a little nervous. They said they couldn't let those people harm Li Zhenhua. They immediately informed Li Zhenhua that the Japanese had sent three groups of people to attack him. Now they have solved two groups. Another group of assassins may go to Dongying. Let him be vigilant no matter what, and not let the Japanese get their hands on them. They are members of the Black Dragon Society, a Japanese underworld organization. You must know that Li Zhenhua is the backbone of these people. Without Li Zhenhua, they will not know how to go on in the future. After receiving the telegram from Shanghai, Li Zhenhua laughed. He was now in the army. Do the Japanese still dare to come to his own army to assassinate him? That's really a joke. Japanese people can't be so ignorant, right? But now that the enemy is hiding and hiding, it's not a problem. If you want to solve the problem as soon as possible, then you have to use this bait to lure them out, and then you can eliminate them. If they have been secretly If you hide yourself and always defend yourself against them, you won't be able to work. Li Zhenhua discussed with Feng Yinqing, and then he made a bold decision to let the wind go. He was going to the Liaodong battlefield recently. The Japanese troops rushed up in batches. Under the desperate attacks of the Qing troops, the Japanese troops were repelled again and again. Later, the marines of the Beiyang Navy also came up to help them defend this skyscraper. Although those marines had been trained by the Xinghua people, the weapons in their hands were comparable to those of the Japanese army. The Japanese army attacked in large groups, and they were determined to win. At this time, the army was only on the defensive and had an advantage on the terrain. As a result, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Zhou Jiaen's Qing army was also in danger at this time. He had been wounded in the arm by Japanese shell fragments. Most of the soldiers were injured. The bullets in their hands were almost exhausted. The Japanese attack started again. The soldiers picked up their swords. After picking up the rifle, they want to hand over their more than one hundred kilograms here. They know that the brothers in Dongying will not ignore them. They must be on their way here. Although they are anxious, they can't count on them. They are not all members of the army at all. some militia. I am going to die here today, I just hope that my brothers in Dongying can avenge me. The Qing troops saw the Japanese troops forming a dense formation and were approaching here. They would be facing them in a few hundred steps. The soldiers tightened their swords and guns in their hands. Even if they died here today, they would not let them pass. Behind it is the station of the Beiyang Navy. It was difficult for the brothers of the Xinghua Group Company to save a few warships and said that they could not be destroyed by the Japanese again. At this critical moment, suddenly there was a scream of flying artillery shells in the air. I saw those artillery shells accurately falling on the attacking Japanese troops. I saw those Japanese soldiers flying up one by one in the explosion of the artillery shells. The entire queue of the Japanese army formed a group. A Japanese officer was shouting there, but soon a shell came to him. The shell tore him into pieces and threw him to the distant ground. There was the sound of running from behind. The troops of Xinghua Group came up. Soldiers wearing helmets and colorful uniforms quickly entered the position. They asked the brothers of the Qing army to go down and let them hold the position. From a distance, it seems that the red hat helmet is no longer there, but the soldiers under those helmets are much more dangerous than the red hat helmets just now. The artillerymen used intensive firepower to knock down the Japanese attack. But the artillery regiment was still showing off their power, and their shells accurately landed in the charging Japanese ranks, knocking the retreating Japanese troops off their backs. Li Zhenhua originally thought that the Qing army could resist for a while, but seeing that only a few of them were fighting hard, he had no choice but to let his troops go up and block the enemy with his own troops, leaving the Qing soldiers to guard the Beiyang Navy. went. The fighting style of the Xinghua troops was different from that of the Qing army and the Beiyang Marine Corps. The enemy began to charge. They were not in a hurry. There were only a few veterans shooting in the distance. Their marksmanship was surprisingly good as long as there was gunfire. As soon as the sound was heard, a Japanese soldier fell down. The others looked at them as if nothing had happened. From 400 meters to 200 meters, the heavy machine gun started firing. When they got closer, the commander let everyone shoot. That was the sound of gunshots, and a group of enemies fell down. As the enemy got closer, the grenades in the hands of the soldiers were thrown out and exploded among the Japanese soldiers. Soon the Japanese attack was over. During the battle, they mainly used weapons to deal with the Japanese heavy machine guns, rifles, grenades and bayonets. They beat them down violently and then a counterattack warrior. As soon as they saw the enemy running away, they immediately retreated. They ran to the back of the hill. The officers and soldiers of the Qing army were also asked to run back and hide to avoid the enemy's bombardment, leaving only one or two veterans to monitor the enemy. Text Chapter 228: Gathering and Annihilation Text Chapter 228 Gathering and Annihilation Chapter 228 Gathering and Annihilation Chapter 228 Gathering and Annihilation Chapter 228 Gathering and Annihilation Commander Dashanyan saw that the Qing army¡¯s position no longer had those red helmets. He thought that the Qing army on the mountain had retreated. He felt happy, so he returned. The order was given to start the bombardment. A few soldiers on the opposite side also quickly ran to hide behind. Dashanyan breathed a sigh of relief and the Qing army finally retreated. We were about to capture the front position. Baidu search (Hand-type chapter) He waved his hand and the Japanese infantry began to advance. The Japanese artillery bombardment immediately attracted a counterattack from the Dongying artillery. By the time the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, their artillery positions were already covered with cannons that had been blown up and people were killed and injured. There was also an artillery shell storage area that was hit by intensive artillery fire, causing a larger explosion. There were not many people and artillery left that could be used for combat. The opponent was beaten up. To this day, I still don¡¯t know where the opponent¡¯s artillery position is. Where are they? Aren't they just waiting to be beaten? The old soldiers from the Dongying Army appeared on the position again and continued to monitor the enemy. When they found out that they started to attack again, they just said hello and the troops behind them quickly rushed. After entering the position, all the guns were pointed at the enemy. They were waiting for the enemy to come up. After a day of fighting, the Japanese army wanted to rest again. It was so cheap. The small troops responsible for attacking the enemy became active again because of yesterday. This time, the enemy's garrison range was smaller, and the density of their troops was greater. At this time, the two artillery regiments also joined the attack. The shells seemed to have eyes, and the shells flew to where there were more people. As soon as the shell hit the ground, a piece of enemy fell down. A piece of shrapnel tore half of Dashanyan's tent. The female lieutenant, who was performing unexpected services for the commander, screamed in fright. She hurriedly grabbed Dashanyan's tent. Da Shanyan, whose arms were full of anger, slapped her hard and knocked her to the ground. A standard Chinese curse flew into her ears that could no longer hear the sound: "Baga" Tonight is no longer the harassment tactic of yesterday. It was a real battle. At the beginning, Commander Dashanyan thought that the Chinese were playing the trick they played yesterday again, but more and more artillery fire caused heavy casualties to his soldiers. Only then did he realize that the Chinese were very cunning. They are not simply harassing us and not letting us rest. They are killing and injuring my soldiers in large numbers. Because the lights appeared here, more artillery fire was fired at my soldiers. After lighting the lights twice, they were all hit by artillery shells. After the gas was blown out, no one dared to light a lamp anymore. Now there is no light in the entire Japanese camp, but the fire caused by the explosion of the shells continues to indicate the target for the artillery. Besides, the terrain here is all over the place. After accurate measurements, the artillery bombarded all the places one by one and then stopped firing. The Japanese soldiers were all lying on the ground and no one dared to move. But who could lie there and not move in such a cold day? Ah, soon some Japanese soldiers began to move. They had to clean up their camps. But soon the artillery shells flew over and hit wherever there was movement. This night, the Japanese army went through both "ice and fire". Oh my god, they were lying there motionless and they were so close to the burning fire that they were burning. This made them really uncomfortable. But there was another thing, that was, there was no food in their stomachs, which was also a major problem. . A shell exploded a field mouse. Some of the field mice died there. Several Japanese soldiers grabbed him and even used their bayonets. When they fought, some people kept him lying down no matter how they beat him to death. He went there to dig out the food from the field mice, but before he could take a few bites, a bayonet stabbed him to the core. A Japanese major raised a gun in his hand and fired several shots in the air, roaring loudly. But what he didn't expect was that a bullet hit him and soon he fell motionless. The other Japanese soldiers didn't dare to make any more noise. They couldn't risk their lives just for a bite. What finally made them stop was when the cannon shells landed. No one dared to move anymore. This night was considered the most unforgettable night in Commander Dashanyan's life. Commander Dashanyan was hit by the Chinese's completely irregular shelling. Commander Dashanyan finally looked forward to the sunrise. The sun shone on his body, which made him feel much more comfortable. It was getting warmer, but Dashanyan's heart felt even colder. He knew that greater danger for himself and his soldiers was coming. After being attacked overnight, Commander Da Shanyan ordered his men to report the losses of each unit. The following will quickly report the losses of each unit. All the units suffered heavy losses. No unit has a complete organization, and some even have a wing. I don't know what happened. The disappearance of entire squadrons and brigades is even more. Dashanyan roughly calculated that he had lost more than half of his troops during the night's harassment battle and yesterday's critical battle. He had no choice but to order the troops to shrink and build defenses. He was going to fight the Chinese desperately. ???????????????After a night of mobilization and preparation, all the troops of the Qiang Division had surrounded the Japanese army on three sides as planned. The unencircled side was the sea. And there was the Beiyang Navy. At nine o'clock in the morning, each unit reported to the headquarters that all units had entered the position and had completely surrounded the enemy. At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Zhenhua nodded to Xiao Guoqiang: "Let's start." Xiao Guoqiang gave the order to the staff to prepare for artillery fire. All kinds of artillery, large and small, immediately started their firing. The thunderous sound of artillery sounded again, large and small. The artillery shells flew towards the Japanese artillery positions and infantry assembly areas with their unique screams. The first thing to be hit was the Japanese artillery positions. Their backward cannons quickly disintegrated the parts and human bodies of the cannons under the attack of the Chinese artillery. The parts flew into the sky together and then smashed down hard, causing more losses. The explosion of the artillery shells also detonated the mountains of artillery shells next to the Japanese artillery. A bigger explosion sound came from the Japanese artillery position. At first, they wanted to suppress the squadron's artillery fire after seeing a huge plume of smoke. However, in front of the squadron's powerful and accurate artillery fire, all the Japanese artillery quickly became mute. There were more screams from the Japanese army. Commander Dashanyan didn't understand what was going on at first, but he soon understood because the artillery's muzzles turned to his infantry unit. In the nineteenth century, army operations focused on group charges. The numbers of their troops were all concentrated together. This was just the time for the artillery to exert its power. The artillerymen were in good position in advance of the temple. Groups of Japanese troops were blown up by the artillery shells and flew into the sky. Those Japanese troops who survived all cried for their fathers and mothers. screamed. It¡¯s almost New Year¡¯s Day, please support me. Starting from the 26th, non-VIP will have one free ticket and VIP will have two free tickets. Please support me. Text Chapter 229: Gathering and Annihilation (2) Chapter 229 of the main text Chapter 229 of annihilation (two) Chapter 229 of annihilation (two) Chapter 229 of intensive artillery preparations continued for more than an hour. The artillery fire was like a plow plowing the field, repeatedly carrying out two Japanese attacks in the cluster of Japanese troops. Fifteen thousand people have been killed and injured by this concentrated artillery fire. More than 20,000 people have been killed and injured. Most of the remaining ones have been injured. They have completely lost their will to fight, no matter how much their officers have brainwashed them in the spirit of Bushido. But in the face of this blow of iron and blood, they also completely collapsed mentally. Only a few troops still have the consciousness to fight. Commander Oyama Iwa and his two division commanders, Lieutenant General Sakuma Mata's Second Division, Lieutenant General Kuroki Shizhen's Sixth Division, were all trapped at this time. They knew that what they were facing was not the same as before. The Qing army does not have such combat effectiveness. This must be the legendary mysterious Chinese army. The fear in their hearts coupled with the poor communication made their orders full of mistakes. They were afraid that the squadron would make dumplings. Lieutenant General Sakuma Mata ordered the troops to rush outward. Lieutenant General Kuroki Shizhen's Sixth Division received the order. But he must hold his ground. Some Japanese soldiers were also afraid of being wiped out here. They also started charging outside like madmen, but the soldiers outside the encirclement would not let them rush out. They were greeted by dense bullets. Those heavy machine guns had been waiting for them for a long time. Heavy machine guns fired angry bullets at the invaders, mortars also blocked their infantry, and long-range artillery dealt with the soldiers who were gathering behind. The Japanese soldiers in front rushed over one after another and were beaten by the soldiers one after another. The ground was destroyed in front of the position. d. Use heavy machine guns and rifles from a distance. Use grenades at close range. By night, their two divisions had been completely disabled. Lieutenant General Sakuma Mata was killed by artillery shells. General Oyama Iwa and Lieutenant General Kuroki Nosada also suffered. hurt. It was dark early in winter. Commander Dashanyan was at his wits' end when facing the squadron surrounding them. Seeing the Chinese artillery fire loosen up, Commander Dashanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the squadron's attacks would stop, but he didn't. What comes to mind is that the infantry of the squadron had switched from encircling to attacking the Japanese army before dark. The soldiers of the squadron had only eaten a little food from morning to night until now, and the soldiers of the squadron rushed towards them without eating any food. They are the reserve team who have been screaming anxiously for a long time. The soldiers who had been trained in night battles divided into multiple groups and rushed into the enemy's interior, completely dividing the Japanese army, and then concentrated on annihilating their squadron. The weapons of their squadrons were all rifles that could hold five rounds of bullets in the magazine. Those strong soldiers held their gaze carefully. The machine gun fired at them much faster than their old-fashioned rifles that could only hold one bullet. The infantry soldiers in front rushed forward while throwing grenades into the enemy jungle. The panicked Japanese soldiers crowded together one after another. It was even more unlucky that those small cannonballs came right behind and groups of enemies were wiped out. In the second half of the night, all the remaining Japanese troops shrank and concentrated on a few small highlands on the seaside. Dashanyan ordered his Japanese troops to build simple circular fortifications. They built fortifications, but it was very difficult. They did not have any tools. Unlike the Dongying troops, everyone had a An engineer's shovel is one of the standard equipment of infantry. They just start doing it wherever they go. They have no idea of ??this at all. This is a matter of tactical concepts. They have not seen any trench warfare yet, but Li Zhenhua thinks that trench warfare is all about trench warfare. It has fallen behind and the tactical thinking is not at the same level at all. This is not something you can configure just by saying it. The Japanese army formed an offensive with the Sixth Division. The attack on the Sixth Division was blocked. They quickly stopped the attack. They would not fight for the lives of the soldiers with the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division immediately began to rest. Only a small group of troops were attacking. They are conducting probing attacks, and at the same time, artillery is firing at them from time to time. Anyway, we are not letting you rest, not letting your nerves relax, just to keep you tense. The sky finally dawned again. The soldiers who had rested for the middle of the night woke up. Hot meals were served to them. After the soldiers ate quickly, they did not forget to prepare one for the brothers in the Beiyang Navy. Everyone was in the same trench. Comrades, they know that the general attack is about to begin. The fierce bombardment started again. The Japanese army's territory was now smaller. A shell hit it, and the Japanese army fell to the ground. Now the Japanese army has reached the level of equality between officers and soldiers. The artillery shells do not distinguish between your official rank and whoever hits it. Who died? But Commander Dashanyan was very lucky. His guards dug a deep pit for him with bayonets and sent him inside. It was much safer. As long as the shells did not come in directly from the DNG port, there would be no problem. . General Dashanyan sat in the dng with his exquisite command knife in both hands, closing his eyes and thinking. He was very familiar with the situation of the Qing Dynasty. He had the right to know whether the real Qing army had any intelligence about the Qing Dynasty. What kind of combat power can you think of as a soldier?They can fight with their ten soldiers. The victory they won not long ago is still in front of them. When the Qing people saw their army, they only put up some slight resistance and it was over. But there is absolutely no such attack like today in the world. But why did they let themselves be attacked? Encountered it? If they knew that China had such an army, they would not dare to attack the Chinese even if they scared Japan to death. ¡°What I encountered today was the same as what happened to the Navy a few months ago. Didn¡¯t the Navy also have something happen that they didn¡¯t expect? He finally remembered that in recent years, there was a troop in southern China that gave the French a hard lesson, but they quickly disappeared again. Thinking of this, Da Shanyan suddenly realized that it must be those Chinese who came to the north. With their military quality, they could They were the only ones who could defeat the Japanese Army and Navy. It seems that I have met them and today is the end of me. Surrender, let your soldiers surrender. Maybe they still have a way to survive. Muddy tears flowed from Dashanyan's eyes. A piece of white clothes was hung up, but by chance, it was blown up with a single shell. The surrounding squadrons continued their attacks. A soldier reported to General Dashanyan that there are no other Japanese troops around now. Several other highlands have been occupied by the squadron, and now only this area is left. "Why didn't the squadron accept our surrender?" "Our white flag was knocked down before it was hung up." "Baga, hang it up again." Commander Dashanduo cursed fiercely. Text Chapter 230: Gathering and Annihilation (3) Text Chapter 230: Gathering to Fight (3) Chapter 230: Gathering to Fight (3) Chapter 230: Gathering to Fight (3) A white t-shirt was hung up. The gunshots of the Japanese resistance soon stopped. They had no intention of fighting anymore. After going down, the soldiers wearing helmets and colorful clothes rushed up. They pulled Da Shanyan up from the pit. Da Shanyan's hand reached for his pistol, but a soldier quickly took his hand. A beautiful pistol was snatched away: "Hey, what have you done if you want to commit suicide? Take off his katana too." Several soldiers took action at the same time, and his samurai sword was also taken down by the soldiers. The female lieutenant was also very lucky. She was not killed by the shells, but her appearance was extremely embarrassing. She was wearing a soldier's bombed-out jacket, half of her arms and chest were exposed, and half of her legs were missing. exposed her white thighs. Half of her face has Wuzhishan, which is the mark left by Commander Dashanyan on her. The other half of her face is covered with black smoke and blood from artillery shells. I don't know if it's hers or someone else's. Her whole body keeps shaking, which makes people sick at first sight. It's terrible. A red dragon flag was raised to the highest point of the Japanese position. The battle ended in victory. All the Chinese soldiers, whether they were soldiers from Dongying, Huai Army or Beiyang Navy, all cheered happily. Li Zhenhua came to the middle of the soldiers and he happily said to everyone: "Brothers, soldiers, we have been bullied by foreign powers for decades. Today we defeated them again. They cannot attack us so easily. We must Announce to the world that such history is gone forever." All the soldiers cheered again. The seriously injured Admiral Ding Ruchang of the Beiyang Navy also came with the help of the soldiers. He said to Li Zhenhua: "General, your troops can fight. I am convinced. If it weren't for your repeated aid, our Beiyang Navy would have been finished. General." "The Beiyang Navy has no way to repay you for your two life-saving graces." All the officers of the Beiyang Navy are also good. " Several Huai Army officers stared hard at an officer behind Ding Ruchang. Li Zhenhua recognized him. He immediately saw the guy Gong Zhaoyu who had run from Lushun to Weihai. Abandoning his own soldiers, he ran from Lushun to Weihai alone, allowing other troops to be attacked from both sides, making it very easy for the Japanese army to obtain Lushun. The Japanese army was able to massacre the city in Lushun. It cannot be said that it had nothing to do with him. Li Zhenhua¡¯s eyes were fixed on Gong Zhaoyu fiercely, and he was so frightened that Gong Zhaoyu was trembling like chaff in a sieve. Unless he killed such a national scum, it would not be enough to quell everyone¡¯s hatred. Li Zhenhua gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Bring to me the hn tent thing that abandoned the army and ran away." Several officers and soldiers of the Huai Army rushed over immediately, punched and kicked him first, and then threw the man away from the army and ran away. Gong Zhaoyu who arrived here was pinned to the ground and dragged over. Usually this Gong Zhaoyu was a arrogant and arrogant person. He was often proud of being the "hidden commander", but today he became a shameful deserter who abandoned his own soldiers. What Li Zhenhua hated the most was this kind of weakling, so he caught him. He came over and pointed at Dashanyan and said to him: "Did you see it? This is the general commander of the Japanese Second Army, Dashanyan, who scared you away." Li Zhenhua pointed at the Japanese corpses everywhere and said to him: "These are the Japanese troops who scared you away." Li Zhenhua pointed his finger at the soldiers present: "Did you see it? These people are all warriors who bravely fought the Japanese. They are the heroes of the people and you are considered What is it? What kind of dignity do you have to live in this world?" Gong Zhaoxuan glanced at the mountain rock huddled aside, then at the dead Japanese soldiers everywhere, and then at the brave soldiers who were covered in the smoke of war. His face turned pale with fright. Li Zhenhua said to the officers and soldiers of the Huai Army and Beiyang Navy: "What do you think of this scum of this nation?" "Cut him, chop him" all the soldiers of the Huai Army, Beiyang Navy and Dongying shouted. stand up. Li Zhenhua kicked him down and said to the officers and soldiers: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. Just wait and see if anything happens to him, I will take care of him. I want all those who escape in the future to remember his fate." A sailor said: " General, we are ready." He pulled out a sailor's knife from his waist and put it in his mouth. A soldier handed him a piece of fishing net, and he used his hands and feet to tear his clothes to pieces. Then he neatly wrapped Master Gong Zhaoyu Daotai with a fishing net tightly. The fishnet was so tight that his buttocks bulged out from the mesh. This was to make it easier for him to strike later. Gong Zhaoyu started crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf. At this time, he should have Do you know what life is worse than death Are these the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty? Li Zhenhua said in his heart that he wanted to give those people a chanceThis lesson taught him that he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger and left his own country and soldiers to run away without killing them. He had no choice but to ignore them. After he and Ding Ruchang left, Gong Zhaoyu's even more miserable cry came from behind. A battalion of troops searched and advanced in the direction of the Japanese army. They wanted to further clean up to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net. They quickly moved towards Rongcheng. On the way, they confiscated some weapons and supplies from the Japanese army's logistics and transportation troops and treated them as some that had slipped through the net. When the Japanese army rushed to the seaside, they saw that the sea was already empty. The ships that sent them there were empty. There were only two warships in the distance. But there was not the Japanese sun flag but a soaring dragon. Some of the Japanese troops who desperately rushed out came to the seaside of Rongcheng where they landed at that time. They had no way out and only the squadron chasing up from behind had no way out. The Japanese troops had no choice but to put down their weapons and kneel on the ground with their hands raised. People thought that Navy Commander Deng Shichang had a very comfortable job this time, but they didn¡¯t know that he really worked hard. After all the Japanese troops left, his troops attacked the remaining Japanese troops. First, the warships rushed up and surrounded the Japanese troops. Among them were the submarines that surfaced and all their cannons were aimed at the Japanese troops in the encirclement. Under his advance arrangement, a regiment of the Tsushima garrison had gone ashore to cut off the enemy on the shore from the main force. The huge loudspeaker on the warship broadcast in Japanese and Chinese, ordering them to put down their weapons and obey. If they didn't listen, they would be sunk. As soon as the Japanese surface troops heard the broadcast, they all panicked. In front of them were the scary warships of the Chinese Navy and some unknown black guys. But without exception, the enemy warships were all flying. Looking back at the red S dragon flag, the squadron on the shore was already well prepared, and the Japanese warships and cargo ships in the circle were surrounded by flying dragon flags. Some people started the machines on the ship, and many ships wanted to rush out and then return. Go to your own land. Text Chapter 231: Gathering and Annihilation (4) Text Chapter 231 Gathering and Fighting (4) Chapter 231 Gathering and Fighting (4) Chapter 231 Gathering and Fighting (4) But since most of their ships are small, they also have too many ships of all kinds on the entire sea, and they are all After huddled together, they started the machine to lift the anchor, but many ships outside blocked their way. If they wanted to get out, they could only open a way through collision. Ordinary civilian ships do not have this capability, but those small gunboats can. They started their own charge to kill a warship of more than 800 tons. With their own steel, they rushed out of a waterway, but there were already many on both sides of it. The ship began to sink and they headed straight to the open sea without caring about their life or death. Deng Shichang had already seen this barbaric guy from the tall command tower on the "Tianshan". A gunboat had already rushed to its channel and was waiting for it on its channel. He gave it an order with a semaphore, but it just Keep moving forward regardless. Even if I wanted to run, the "Tianshan" warship in the distance opened fire. The four MN secondary guns on the side of the warship fired at the same time as a warning. First, four high water columns were raised in front of it. Seeing that it still had no intention of stopping. Deng Shichang issued an order: "You dare to disobey? Sink it." The second round of shelling was not a warning, it was fatal. As the small flag in the gunner's hand swung downwards, two of the four shells fell on them. An armor-piercing shell penetrated the interior of the poor warship, and exploded in the boiler room. The small warship burned with fire, and then it began to sink slowly with numerous explosions. . The gunboat approached and rescued the diving Japanese navy sailors out of humanity and Li Zhenhua's idea of ????exchanging money. The sailors who were fished out of the water were so cold that they hurriedly took off their wet clothes and stood naked in the cold wind. Seeing their embarrassed appearance, the navy soldiers threw them another blanket and They were thrown into a room and huddled together to warm them up. One strike sank a warship. This made the panicked Japanese ships no longer dare to run away. They began to obey the orders obediently, first lowering their sun flag and then raising the white flag at the Fangcheng Navy. Under the guidance, they sailed to Laizhou Bay in batches, parked in order, and disembarked as a team according to the orders of the middlemen, and then entered the Dongying prisoner of war camp. The battle was victorious for two days and one night. The artillerymen of the Sixth Division fired tens of thousands of large and small artillery shells at the Japanese army. Of the more than 25,000 Japanese troops who arrived in Weihai, more than 5,000 Japanese troops were captured and fell into the squadron. The remaining nearly 20,000 people could only stay on the land of China and became the fuel of our great rivers and mountains. The medical staff in the division hospital of the Sixth Division are nervously rescuing the wounded. Under the instructions of Li Zhenhua, some senior generals of the Japanese army also received medical treatment. General Oyama Iwa's arm was injured. Lieutenant General Kuroki Nozada's thigh was shot through by a bullet. Others The Japanese generals were also injured. They were all treated effectively and sent to the prisoner of war camp in Dongying for special care. The female lieutenant was still responsible for taking care of her lover, the commander. Although she was a little reluctant in her heart, this was always the case. It's better than being with some soldiers. If I fall into the hands of those evil wolves, I'm afraid my life will be worse than death. The other prisoners of war were also arranged uniformly. Li Zhenhua was very happy. These were all free money. If the Japanese wanted to take them back, they would have to use money to redeem them. If they wanted to go back in vain, it would be impossible. . This time the Beiyang Navy suffered heavy losses again. Personnel, port equipment and warships were damaged to varying degrees. Another warship parked in the port was sunk by Japanese artillery fire. Most of the others were injured again. Ding Ruchang looked at it. His heart was so cold after all this that he had no choice but to report the current situation to the court. He also reported the great victory of the Dongying troops to the court. There is a depressing atmosphere in the court now. They retreated from North Korea to the Yalu River and then retreated from the Yalu River to the interior. As soon as they came into contact with the Japanese army, they were immediately defeated. Lushun was captured and Yingkou was captured. Three days ago, the report said that they were attacking Weihai again. This made the emperor and Those warring factions are so embarrassed. Now Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, has arrived at the Liaoning front line (actually at Shanhaiguan) to control all the troops and horses on the front line. But can he do it? No one could think highly of him, even the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, who had issued an imperial edict for him to go, were unsure of themselves. "Report" A little eunuch crawled into the lifeless hall. Emperor Guangxu's brows immediately frowned. The guards on one side went up to arrest him. The little eunuch also knew at this time that he had violated his etiquette, but he Realizing that the only one who could save him was himself, he immediately shouted loudly: "The great victory at Weihai annihilated the 25,000 Japanese Second Army." Immediately, everyone was stunned. "What? A great victory or a total annihilation?" I thought in my heart that the little eunuch was frightened and confused. The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and knewHe no longer feared for his life. He took a breath and continued: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Admiral Ding Ruchang of the Beiyang Navy. The militiamen in charge of the Eight Hundred Miles Emergency Report defeated the Japanese in Weihai and gave up their Commander Dashanyan." Caught. "This little eunuch is really confused. How come it's 800 miles away from Weihai to Tianjin when there is a telegram? This is nonsense, but the little eunuch has already raised the memorial above his head. Ding Ruchang's report was incomprehensible, and the telegram was damaged by Japanese artillery fire. He could only hurry up by 800 miles. The chief steward Li Lianying had already rushed over, grabbed the memorial, and kicked the little eunuch out. He turned around and ran to the emperor. Guangxu had already stood up, but he suddenly remembered his identity and sat down again. He just uttered one word: "Nian". Li Lianying immediately stopped and read loudly: "After this battle, 5,547 Japanese generals were captured and 10,000 Japanese lieutenant generals were killed. Nine thousand three hundred and twenty-one people. The specific results of the seizure are being counted" "In addition, Gong Zhaoxuan, a Taoist who abandoned the soldiers in Lushun and fled to Weihai, was sentenced to death by Yunnan General Li Zhenhua and was chopped alive by the angry soldiers. "After the memorial was recited, there was no sound in the entire hall. It was like the audience was still immersed in the intoxication of the wonderful art during the period of silence after enjoying a wonderful performance. At this time, Xu Gengshen, the Han minister of the Ministry of War, understood it first. He stepped out of the procession and bowed to the emperor and said: "Congratulations to the emperor. Congratulations to the emperor. The emperor's consort has truly accomplished another miraculous achievement." Yes, can it be a miraculous achievement? pieces? How many Qing troops went up were routed and returned, but their prince-in-law was able to defeat the arrogant Japanese army with less troops (or civilian troops) than the Japanese. Text Chapter 232 Using yourself as bait Text Chapter 232 Using one¡¯s body as bait Chapter 232 Using one¡¯s body as bait Chapter 232 Using one¡¯s body as bait All the ministers also bowed to congratulate the emperor. However, Weng Tonghe, who was extremely dissatisfied with Li Zhenhua, muttered: " Doesn¡¯t Mr. Li have no soldiers? How can he come out with more than 10,000 troops? Besides, how can he have the right to execute the court officials?¡± All the ministers turned their eyes at him and secretly raised their middle fingers. Xu Gengshen, the commander of the Ministry of War, reached out to him and immediately said to Weng Tonghe: "Master Weng, there are more than 10,000 men and horses in the household. Has the household department paid any money?" Weng Tonghe replied: "No." Xu Gengshen said again: "Master Weng, if Gong Zhaoyu had not been executed by his father-in-law, would he have survived?" "If he lost his position and escaped on his own, he should be executed according to law." "Master Weng, according to your opinion, this father-in-law should be held accountable, right? " "No." "I don't understand this. I have many factories. He stopped his own factory and led the workers to fight the Japanese. It was wrong. I also had some land in my hands, but I didn't let my tenants. I feel ashamed to fight the Japanese. I don¡¯t know if there is anyone in this hall who feels as ashamed as me. And it is normal for the man named Gong to be beheaded. It is a crime for me to behead a few deserters in the army to encourage the soldiers. This is also sinful. ?¡± The old man became more and more angry as he spoke. He took off the crown on his head, turned around and knelt down to Emperor Guangxu, saying, ¡°Your Majesty, you don¡¯t need to take off this crown to protect the country like your concubine.¡± After that, he knelt down. Sorry. Most of those Qingliu people are young people. With passion in his heart, he saw Mr. Xu kneel down. They also knelt down together and took off the flower feathers on their heads. Those who did not deal with Weng Tonghe also knelt down to see that this meant that they would all be dismissed from office. When Emperor Guangxu saw that his brother-in-law had just won a battle, something like this happened in the middle of the court. What would the soldiers on the front line think when they heard about it? He couldn't help but get angry: "It's all nonsense, you are waiting for this." Emperor Guangxu flicked his sleeves and left. When he left, he left all the ministers hanging. Not only did he leave all the ministers dry, but there was also one behind the curtain. Emperor Guangxu breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the back and finally won the battle. He thought to himself: "My brother-in-law is really good at it. He will win as soon as he touches him. If his warships hadn't appeared in the battle at Dadonggou, he would have won." My own Beiyang Navy is finished. It seems that he is really a blessed general. But this Weng Tonghe is too incompetent. If it weren't for my master, he would have to deal with him today." However, the Queen Mother is hiding behind. But he knew exactly what Weng Tonghe meant. Where did the consort's army of more than 10,000 come from? She couldn't help but have doubts about Li Zhenhua, but she also thought that most of the current army was in the hands of the Han people. Who was the Manchu who could really control the military? After all, this prince-in-law could be considered one of his own. But this Weng Tonghe is too outrageous. Can he say this in this situation? From then on, the Queen Mother also felt disgusted with Weng Tonghe. When she saw that Li Lianying was looking at her, she had no choice but to wave her hand to Li Lianying. Li Lianying immediately shouted in a high voice: "Retreat from the court." The ministers withdrew. The Empress Dowager Cixi thought that no matter what she said, although Li Zhenhua was a little disobedient, he still defended his own power. He defeated the French and the Japanese navy, not to mention that now he defeated the Japanese army. If it hadn't been for his naval battle a few days ago, Bu Kan imagined that if Ding Ruchang had said that he was about to die, they would have been doomed if the troops of those princes-in-law had not arrived. It¡¯s hard to say how to reward Li Zhenhua now. Let¡¯s wait and see the situation in the Liaodong battlefield. It should be fine if Liu Kunyi, a relatively honest person, is there. I hope he doesn¡¯t disappoint me. There is a security department in the police station in Fangcheng. In modern terms, that is the people from the security department. They reported to Li Zhenhua that there was a person of unknown origin disguised as a radish vendor. They were secretly inquiring about Li Zhenhua's information. Li Zhenhua has already released the news that he will go to the battlefield in Liaodong area, but the time has not been set. These people are understanding this time. An administrator in charge of Li Zhenhua's food went out to buy vegetables. He met an acquaintance in front of a radish vendor. The two immediately got together and the man said, "It seems that the food at the headquarters is good today?" " Yes, the commander is going to go to the Liaodong area tomorrow. The little Japanese there are so outrageous. They kill people and set fires everywhere. The commander is very angry when he hears that. He wants to go there to fight the Japanese in person. " "That's great. The commander personally goes out to fight the Japanese. Japan can't stand it anymore. They can tell you as much as they come here. " "No, I have to go back quickly so that the chief can talk to those soldiers."It's too late and they will lose their temper. "Then you should leave quickly, but you must be strict with your mouth. Don't talk casually about the chief's departure." " "That means we are not old friends? I won't tell others. " The hawker listened to their conversation without saying a word. When he saw that they had gone far away, he stopped selling radishes. He packed up and left in a hurry. A man followed him from a distance. Although the Japanese was very alert, the one behind him was definitely a good follower. He just followed him out of the downtown area from a distance. After that, a man took over. This man turned his leather jacket upside down and put it on his body. Why did a few more sheep come out? It looked like an old farmer was tending sheep. The vendor walked toward the outside of the city. His target was a small house in an open space in the distance. The kind of small house that would only be occupied by Japanese people when the farming was busy. It was too obvious to live here temporarily. After waiting for a long time, the man didn't come out. It was getting dark, so the sheepherder slowly walked back. After walking for a while, he saw a car parked on the roadside. It was his own car. He walked to the car and a man drove the sheep away for him. He went to the car to report. In the middle of the night, a group of armed men wearing white cloaks quietly went to the small farm house. But when they went in, they found that there was no one there. There was a lot of garbage thrown on the ground. Judging from the situation, there should be seven or eight people here. They had just left. One of the leaders cursed, "He let them run away." There are footprints in the snow. I can see you running there. "The footprints have been heading north. Today it happens to be northwest wind. I can hear the other party's voice with the same sound, but the other party can't hear my own voice. A soldier is in front and is responsible for tracking the rest. Follow behind and must catch them. We must not let them endanger our leader. The weeds on both sides of the road have been cleared away and there are no traces. The leading captain does not care about the other Japanese. They know that if they go out in the wild, they will leave no one behind. From the footprints, he judged that if the Japanese wanted to conduct a sneak attack halfway, the best place for them would be along the Yellow River, because the terrain there was the most favorable to the attackers. Then it would be best for them to walk on the road without leaving traces and speed. Hurry up. It's more than fifty miles from here to Lijin. The captain didn't dare to be careless. He sent two groups of soldiers to search on both sides of the road and reach Lijin Yellow River Bridge before dawn to surround them. There is also a team of men. The two teams coming here will not let them escape. In the morning, several cars from the headquarters set off. Li Zhenhua himself wanted to be the bait. They kept going northwest along the road. They wanted to cross the Yellow River at Lijin and then go to the Liaodong area. Several guards around Li Zhenhua are in the car. Their mission today is to arrest the Japanese. They are members of the famous Japanese underworld organization Black Dragon Society. They accepted a task entrusted by the government. They wanted them to send their strongest men to China to carry out a "beheading operation" on that hateful Yunnan general. They had carried out a strict division of labor before coming to China. A big boss led two teams of more than 70 people. The mission was carried out in Shanghai, but there were only eight people in this group, led by a man named Nogawa Jiro. In terms of ability, this person is the number one person in the Black Dragon Club. In terms of swordsmanship, no one can compare with him. In terms of intelligence, he is the best in the entire Black Dragon Society. He is also the number one in the gang. These eight people are definitely not lower than the dozens of people. Text Chapter 233 Bravely Fighting Assassins Text Chapter 233 Bravely Fighting Assassins Chapter 233 Bravely Fighting Assassins Chapter 233 Bravely Fighting Assassins After they arrived here, Nogawa Jiro immediately knew that he was in the right place. He judged that the general was fighting so lively in Weihai, Dongying. He will not be here, but I heard from the local people that he saw with his own eyes that Li Zhenhua had returned to Dongying, and the people he sent heard that they were going to Liaodong today. They were determined to attack Li Zhenhua here to complete the Japanese government. fu assigned to them the task. They stayed in the snow for half the night. Everyone was almost frozen. The sun finally came out and he felt a little better. At night, they had dispersed into four groups and hid in a favorable place on the east side of the bridge, waiting for Li Zhenhua's motorcade. coming. This place is a small house at the end of the bridge that is very suitable for an ambush. This is where someone sells large bowls of tea in the summer. The other two groups are among the thatch on the roadside, and another group is hidden at the railing of the bridge. Explosives have been planted at the bridge head. As soon as Li Zhenhua's convoy arrives, they will detonate the explosion and destroy the bridge. Then the four groups rush up together and kill him with the samurai swords in their hands. It's not that they didn't expect to use guns, but they came to China. Afraid of exposing themselves, they only brought some samurai swords but not guns. They didn¡¯t even think about whether they could go back after completing their mission, as long as they could give His Majesty the Emperor a sigh of relief. Chapter d) At this time, they had no idea that they had already been surrounded by Dongying security personnel. A group of cars came from a distance. There were three cars in front and a truck behind them. This should be Li Zhenhua's army. The Japanese became nervous and barked at an inappropriate time. Dogs in this remote place should not appear. But it turned out that this was the agreement. There was no other way but to bark. This was a signal from Jiro Nogawa to prepare for them. In turn, the security personnel surrounding them from a distance were much more experienced than the Japanese, and they made no movement at all. The car was getting closer and closer, and the guards in the car began to get a little nervous. The enemy was in the dark and they had to be more careful in the light. When the car arrived at the small house, the front car stopped. Yang Shun came down and said loudly: "Everyone, please wait a moment. I need to help you." After saying that, he walked towards the small house, and Qiao Yiliang also got off the car and followed him there. The other soldiers also got out of the car. It was very cold and they all wanted to do some exercise when they got down. Yang Shun knew that the enemy should be behind the house, but he couldn't say anything yet. He calmly walked forward slowly, and Qiao Yiliang behind him was in the same mood. I finally walked forward, but on the surface I didn't show any signs of anxiety. There were two Japanese hiding behind the small house. As soon as they saw Yang Shun coming, he hurriedly pressed his body against the wall and raised the knife in his hand. When Yang Shun faced him, his knife suddenly slashed downwards. Yang Shun's kung fu is not comparable to that of ordinary people. As soon as he saw the opponent's knife coming down, he immediately dodged to the side and raised his foot to kick the man. This hit hit the man's abdomen, and the Japanese immediately fell to the ground. Just as the Japanese behind him was about to charge forward, the gun in Qiao Yiliang's hand rang out, and he saw a bloodshot appeared between the man's eyebrows. Yang Shun made a Tiger Leap with an eight-step move facing the wind. What is eight-step move? This is a move specially used by mn to deal with people who have fallen to the ground. That is, when a person jumps up, he first steps down with his feet. When the person wants to hide or roll, he uses it instead. Kneel down on your knees. If you dodge again, use your fists and then use your elbows below. People with the size of elbows can't hide this move. Yang Shun really worked hard for this Japanese. That person just dodged Yang Shun's first move. With one move, he turned his back and put Yang Shun on his back. Yang Shun had already knelt down. The strength of Yang Shun's kneeling was more than several hundred kilograms. Immediately, the man's two ends came out. Blood spurted out from his mouth, and even the things in his body were wiped out from behind. squeezed out. Seeing that the people in the small house had already taken action, the other three groups of Japanese thought they had launched an attack and rushed out together. Their target was the car among them. They all rushed forward with the samurai swords in their hands raised high. When the guards saw that Yang Shun and Qiao Yiliang had succeeded, six more men in black clothes rushed over with Japanese samurai swords in their hands. At this time, the six guards who had already got out of the car were happy, and Tu Yiliang immediately shouted. He stood up and said, "Don't use guns to get addicted to each other." He knew that it would be boring if everyone used guns. The problem was guaranteed to be solved within three seconds. How difficult would it be to get these guards to take action? Besides, Go there and find those masters to spar with yourself. Who knew that they all had this idea? The six people immediately dispersed. Song Lin was used to being a "shield", so he stayed in front of the car without moving. Nogawa Jiro, the best in martial arts, was the fastest, and he rushed in front of Song Lin. When someone takes action, everyone else must have their own opponent. Everyone immediately starts to fight and kill each other. When they see that the Japanese want to fight against them,I have broken some cokes and follow the leader. I usually don't have a chance to make a move. This time I finally have an opponent. The leader is not around yet and I have no worries. So aren't you happy? A few of them were happy, but some were unhappy. It turned out that there were a few more cars coming behind them. The people in the car were Li Zhenhua and his guard chief Sun Feihu. Sun Feihu was so angry that he asked you to come here in advance to arrest him. You guys are happy to play with your enemy. Isn't he angry? But Li Zhenhua, who was sitting in the car, didn't think so. He saw that the people around him had already surrounded them, and there were people watching the enemy formation. The eight people against the six people would definitely not suffer. Anyway, they would not suffer. He can't run away anymore. He thinks this training method is also good. Training with the enemy with real swords and guns can improve the combat level of one's own people. When Yang Shun and Qiao Yiliang saw the leader approaching, they immediately stood in front of Li Zhenhua's car. One was to protect the leader, and the other was to observe the enemy and be ready to rescue their comrades at any time. A big sword from Wuhan Steel met a samurai sword. The man's katana flew up and down and went straight towards Wuhan Steel's upper three. After the two of them met for a few times, he felt bored. This man's sword skills were too bad. He said that he was just making blind gestures. At this time, the man's knife slashed from the side again. Wu Gang used his big knife to knock the man's knife away. Wu Gang used his knife to protect his left hand and raised it to the opponent's shoulder. If he grabbed the man's shoulder, he would be disabled. The man hurriedly dodged, but Wu Gang's foot flew up again and kicked him in the abdomen. The man flew away and threw away the knife. Wu Gang couldn't move there and stepped on his chest with his foot and said to him: "You really disappoint me. You will have to study with your junior wife for two more years before you turn around." Text Chapter 234 The Northern Tiger Duan Qirui Text Chapter 234 The Tiger of the North Duan Qirui Chapter 234 The Tiger of the North Duan Qirui Chapter 234 The Tiger of the North Duan Qirui Tu Yiliang was even more playful when he saw a Japanese wearing black S-shirts approaching. He rushed over. He put down his rifle. He raised his legs and moved his hands. A dagger appeared in his hands. He first dodged several fierce attacks from the opponent. When he saw that the opponent didn't make any moves, he immediately said: "You should stop after giving this shameless thing a few blows. It's my fault if you still want to fight with me." He suddenly stepped forward and stabbed the man in the throat with his dagger. Seeing him, he hurriedly used the knife in his hand to fight. As mentioned before, Tu Yongliang's strength was the strongest among these people. When he saw the Japanese using the knife to fight, he pressed the knife from below and the man couldn't bear it. Although the Japanese were all He held the knife with both hands, but Tu Yiliang suppressed him with only one hand. When the man saw that this was not going to work, he immediately wanted to withdraw the knife and give Tu Yiliang a blow. Tu Yiliang looked like a rough man on the surface, but in In actual combat, he is definitely not a rough man. He slides the dagger to the guard of the opponent's knife so that if the person wants to withdraw the knife, he will not be able to do so. Tu Yiliang didn't care whether the other person understood or not, and said to him with a smile: "You kid hasn't eaten in a few days and you don't even have any energy." He took the man's knife-holding hand with his left hand and fell towards him with Shi Dao. The dagger in Tuyiliang's right hand was pointed at the man's throat again: "Boy, put down your knife, grandpa, spare your life." Zhang Chuan did not fight with them when he saw that the other party had already rushed towards him with his hand. With a shake, a knife flew out and just stabbed into his left wrist. The man wanted to rush again and another knife stabbed into his right wrist. The man's knife fell to the ground. It only took less than a minute for three people to finish the battle. The remaining two people saw that they were no match for these people. They turned around and ran away. However, when they saw someone blocking the way in the distance ahead, they headed towards the Yellow River. There was no one there. They had to cross the ice of the Yellow River and then they could escape. Even if they ran, they would never be able to escape. However, those few good shooters did not shoot any of them. They just watched them heading toward the Yellow River. He ran away like a fly. The two people ran to the edge of the Yellow River and then rushed onto the ice, running and skating in a very embarrassed manner. After running for more than ten meters, there was a sound of ice breaking under their feet. The two couldn't hold their feet and continued to rush forward. Soon the ice broke and they both fell into the water of the Yellow River. Now is the middle of December. According to the solar terms, it has entered the Heavy Snow Festival. Usually people say "the light snow freezes the river and the big snow crosses the river", which means that when the light snow festival arrives, the river will start to freeze and the river will be frozen during the heavy snow festival. But the Yellow River But it is an exception. First, the water flow is fast, and secondly, the river water contains a lot of sand, but it is not easy to freeze. It may freeze at night, but it will melt after noon. In a word, you can't leave now. People don't know. They think that people can walk on it once the surface is frozen. They think this is their Hokkaido. Watching them tossing in the water and drinking yellow mud soup to their heart's content, Yang Shun came over with two ropes in his hand. He ran quickly towards the two people in the Yellow River with the rope in his hand. People were not worried about Yang Shun at all. They were all I know that Yang Shun's Qinggong is the best. He can usually walk on eggs and borrow anything on the water to support his body, not to mention the pieces of ice floes. I saw him running near the two people and throwing one end of the rope to them. He turned around and swung the rope to the shore. The end of the rope was already in the hands of the people on the shore. Yang Shun walked back slowly. "Good Kung Fu" The soldiers on the shore applauded and cheered together. It is said that the Japanese are not afraid of death, but at this time, their bushido spirit has also disappeared. The ruthless Yellow River leaks rapidly and consumes the heat in their bodies. Soon they can no longer stand it. They hurriedly tighten the rope and crawl towards the shore. Come over and let the soldiers tie their hands. Everyone returned to the shore and the battle at Song Lin's place had already been resolved. Although Nogawa Jiro's kung fu was better than that of ordinary people, there was nothing he could do against Song Lin. But when several people saw Li Zhenhua and looked at the lustful look on Sun Feihu's face, they all lowered their heads. They knew that they had gone too far this time and had forgotten the task of protecting the leader. Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "What's wrong? All of them have no energy at all?" None of them dared to raise their heads and go back. This scolding was indispensable. But Li Zhenhua laughed: "You guys beat me very hard." "Is it beautiful? I enjoyed it very much, but it's a pity that it's not my part." Li Zhenhua laughed: "Okay, don't be like this anymore. I want to treat you to a good drink when you go back." A few people were stunned. Walking towards the car, the rest of the people escorted the Japanese to the truck at the back. Only then did the Japanese realize that this was a set they had set for them.It should be full of gasoline, but now there is nothing there, just a few of them have their own places. Li Zhenhua went to the division hospital to visit his subordinates. In the hospital, he looked at the wounded one by one, expressed condolences to the wounded, shook hands with them cordially, and wished them a speedy recovery. He also visited the Beiyang Navy and Huai Army troops. Most of the wounded officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy have seen Li Zhenhua. They are convinced by him from the bottom of their hearts. He has helped the Beiyang Navy time and time again. He has become the savior of the Beiyang Navy. From logistics to direct participation in the war, if it were not for this young man The general himself may have long since passed away in this world. When they saw Mr. Li coming to visit everyone again, their hearts were filled with gratitude. They were all saluting him in their own way while lying on their sick lips. Li Zhenhua also returned the salutes to them one by one. . Suddenly, an officer of the Qing army saluted him and said to Li Zhenhua: "Sir, I also want to join your security team." When Li Zhenhua saw this man, he was about thirty years old, of medium height, with two energetic eyes, Li Zhenhua fell in love at first sight. So he asked him what he called the man and he replied that his name was Duan Qirui. Li Zhenhua heard that he was the Tiger of the North, one of the famous "Three Heroes of the North". Li Zhenhua originally only heard about his "fight between the government and the Yuan" and didn't know much about him, but knew that he was a famous prime minister during the Republic of China and that he had caused several presidents to fall at his hands. So he asked the medical staff to find a place to talk to him. He was really talented. He studied at the "Beiyang Arms Academy" in Tianjin for five years, and then went to Germany to study gunnery. He even went to the Krupp Gun Factory in Germany for half a year for field inspections. Now he is an artillery battalion instructor in the Weihai garrison of the Qing army. His troops and artillery have been beaten by the Japanese army. He ran to the artillery of the Xinghua army to participate in the battle. At first, he helped carry the artillery shells. Later, because of the artillery position, Due to lack of manpower, he took up the artillery position again. It seems that he really has a lot of affection for the cannon and was wounded in the battle. This is a real "returnee from overseas". Li Zhenhua happily said to him: "Okay, just take good care of your injuries and I will accept you after you recover." Text Chapter 235 Foreign Hero Ma Jifen Text Chapter 235 Foreign Hero Ma Jifen Chapter 235 Foreign Hero Ma Jifen Chapter 235 Foreign Hero Ma Jifen Duan Qirui immediately stood up and saluted Li Zhenhua. His salute was a typical modern military salute. He had already known this kind of salute when he was studying in Germany. But He could not be used in the Qing army. During the battle with the officials in Dongying, he had already become accustomed to him and was unwilling to kowtow. He said to Li Zhenhua: "You don't need to recuperate, sir. I just have a skin injury and I only need to recuperate for a few days. Just let me go to the army." Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said to him: "You have already participated in the army war. You should first take a look at our management in the artillery unit. Now to facilitate your work, I will first arrange for you to be a staff officer at the headquarters. In a few days, you can tell me your views on the unit, and then I will arrange your specific positions. Work." Duan Qirui saluted him and left happily. Li Zhenhua was very happy that he had another artillery expert. This was a real "returnee" foreign student. He studied the theory and manufacture of artillery in the military academy twice. He knew everything about it. But it's so good that the artillery work in the future will be his. He also has some abilities, otherwise how can he be the prime minister under several presidents. In addition, when the special forces came back from Liaodong, they also brought back Wang Shizhen, who was also a talented person. He was the Dragon of the North, so he was just short of Feng Guozhang, the "dog of the three heroes of the North." But I guess he wouldn't be able to find them. The only person who will eventually appear on the stage of Chinese history is Feng Guozhang, who is the most virulent character among the Three Heroes. In the hospital in Dongying, the medical staff in the hospital reported something to Li Zhenhua. It turned out that he was a foreigner who was bravely injured for the Chinese people's resistance to foreign aggression. His name was known to Li Zhenhua for a long time. His name was Ma Jifen. He had served as A teacher from the Tianjin Naval Academy once commanded a training ship of the Beiyang Navy. Finally, he was the deputy captain of the "Dingyuan" ship. He suffered multiple injuries on his body. The most serious one was his head, which even affected his eyes. Li Zhenhua also Knowing that he finally shot himself at home in the United States unwilling to endure the pain, Li Zhenhua was determined to save his life. He hurriedly asked: "Where is Mr. Ma Jifen now?" Seeing Li Zhenhua's anxious look, a doctor immediately said without waiting for anyone else to speak: "I know General, let me take you there." So, under the leadership of the doctor, everyone quickly went to Walking to a ward at the back, as soon as Li Zhenhua entered mn, he saw Ma Jifen lying on the patient's lip. The pain and torture had made him so thin that he looked ugly. Li Zhenhua walked up and held his hand and said to Ma Jifen, "Ma Jifen Sir, I am Li Zhenhua. I heard that you were injured and I came here to see you." Ma Jifen's Chinese is fine. He immediately replied: "Sir, I know you are our best friend in the Beiyang Navy. If it weren't for your many times. We will not win with your help. On behalf of the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy, thank you." After that, he gave Li Zhenhua a standard military salute with difficulty. Li Zhenhua immediately stood up and returned the salute and said: "Mr. Ma Jifen should be the one we thank you for. You traveled thousands of miles to China to help the Chinese people resist the war of aggression. You are a great warrior." "No." Ma Jifen immediately changed his title when he saw Li Zhenhua's military salute: "General, I am a soldier on the battlefield. It is the duty of a soldier to fight the enemy. "You have dedicated the best time of your life and your life to the people under another flag. The Chinese people will not forget you. Don't worry." I promise you that your injury will get better." "General, you don't have to comfort me. I know it won't get better." "No, don't go back to China first. You have to be strong. Get up and have the confidence that you will get better. The ancient and magical Chinese medicine methods will definitely cure you." "Thank you, General. You don't have to worry about it." "Okay, don't worry. I'll leave now. What's the matter with you? Just tell them that you can come to me directly and I will come see you again when you have time." Li Zhenhua stood up and saluted him. Ma Jifen returned the salute. Then Li Zhenhua walked out and immediately said to the dean and the attending doctor behind him: "Please tell me about him. His condition." The dean immediately said to Li Zhenhua, "Please come to my office and I will tell you about his condition in detail." Several people came to the dean's office and sat down. "His condition is like this," the dean said: "After consultation with some of our doctors, we feel that Ma Jifen's condition is not optimistic. Although the shrapnel in his head has been removed, the shrapnel compressed the nerves for too long and affected the nervous system. It is very likely that if another operation is performed, it will fail. If not, you may become blind or die." Li Zhenhua thought about it and said to him: "?Gather all the brain surgery experts, doctors, and scholars in the country and ask them to come to Dongying to consult him. In addition, send people to Cangzhou, Qizhou and other places to post notices, or directly ask some doctors in the country to come and give him a look. You must keep it. His life was injured because of China's war of resistance against aggression. We cannot let people say that we Chinese are unfriendly. We will do our best to save him. Regarding the money issue, you don't have to worry. I will be responsible for all the expenses. ¡± "Morning Bell News" published an article in mn on the search for brain surgery experts. In addition, it also published a long newsletter in the newspaper "For the Chinese People's Anti-Aggression War". The article introduced in detail Ma Jifen's service in the Beiyang Navy and the naval battle. The heroic deeds in the article called on people to learn from this "foreign hero", which caused a sensation in the whole country. Other newspapers also carried out the article, and even Ma Jifen's name appeared in the court newspaper. Hearing Li Zhenhua's instructions. People understood and immediately started to look for miracle doctors, famous doctors and hermits from various places. Some people even went to some famous mountains and ancient temples to find some martial arts people to find famous doctors. At the same time, there were also some doctors and experts from Fangcheng, Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing. When they gathered in Dongying and heard the emperor's request for help, even a few imperial doctors who had never been out of the hospital also came. They all came for a foreign soldier. Li Zhenhua knew that there were some private apricot forest masters in China. Many of them are unwilling to come forward and they concentrate on their medical research. But this time Li Zhenhua mobilized the power of the entire country to save a soldier who was injured in China's resistance to aggression. Newspapers also published advertisements looking for famous doctors. Notices were also posted in front of the offices of various government offices and city offices. Newspaper advertisements were posted in front of the offices of the military, factories, schools, and stores. Ma Jifen's condition was also announced in front of the offices of each hospital. Li Zhenhua also sent people to the embassies of various countries stationed in China. , the consulate went to seek a doctor. Suddenly everyone in the country knew that the prince-in-law wanted to see a doctor. Text Chapter 236 Feng Guozhang, the Dog of the North Text Chapter 236 Feng Guozhang, Dog of the North Chapter 236 Feng Guozhang, Dog of the North Chapter 236 Feng Guozhang, Dog of the North A few days later, the troops of the Fifth Division appeared at Shanhaiguan. Their sea transportation also arrived. After they landed safely, Li Biao immediately sent out a reconnaissance force. They began to collect intelligence on the Japanese army and prepare to fight against the Japanese. The nearby Qing army told them: Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, Lord Liu was stationed here. Li Biao went there to meet Lord Liu. Chapter) Li Biao and he are also acquaintances. Li Biao met Liu Kun and Liu Kun once when he was Li Zhenhua's guard captain in Nanjing. He had also heard about Li Zhenhua's troops for a long time and knew that they could fight. But here he has a small mind. Is it to let them protect themselves or use other troops to fight back against the Japanese army? So Li Biao's troops had to first set up defenses on the spot at Shanhaiguan in order to wait for information from the reconnaissance troops. Li Biao was sitting in his room at night. He didn't understand why Liu Kunyi didn't let his troops go up and let him guard Shanhaiguan as a second-line force. He was thinking to himself that there was a report from outside. The guard came in and told him that there was a person outside who wanted to see General Li. Biao asked him to bring people in. A man in his thirties came in. After the man came in, he gave Li Biao a thousand blows and said: "Sir, I am an officer named Feng Guozhang of Nie Shicheng's unit of the Qing army. Now my unit has been captured." I came here to report the military situation to you, but no one paid attention to me. Later, I saw you and saw that your station was well-organized and different from other Qing troops, so I came in. I don¡¯t know the information. Is it useful to you adults? " When Li Biao heard this, someone gave him a pillow just as he was about to sleep. This was great. He immediately asked him to sit down and asked the guard to bring him boiling water. He is currently doing this. The work is being done to understand the enemy's situation, and someone will come to report the enemy's situation soon. When he saw Li Biao, Feng Guozhang was very enthusiastic. He took out the map from the bag he carried with him. Li Biao saw that this man was really professional and even had the map ready. ???????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????: The garrison situation of the Japanese and Qing armies was recorded in detail, including the number of troops and their garrison locations, etc. He also gave Li Biao suggestions on how to attack the Japanese army, how to defend, etc. Li Biao felt that his suggestion was very reasonable. He immediately asked him: "Your suggestion is very good. What did other Qing troops say?" When Feng Guozhang heard Li Biao praising himself, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "What do you say? No one of them listened to my suggestion at all. I You can't even see their officers. " "How can you win the battle without these idiots having such a good plan?" Li Biao cursed and said to Feng Guozhang: "Okay, just don't leave. Just stay with me." Feng Guozhang said immediately: "Thank you, sir, but please give me a meal first. I haven't eaten much for several days and I'm starving." "Oh, just look at me. I didn't even bother to talk to you." Li Biao turned around and shouted to the outside: "The guards are coming to serve the guests." After that, he patted his bald head and said to Feng Guozhang: "No, you are no longer here. I am a guest, but I will treat you as a guest today. Tomorrow you will go to have a big pot meal with me and the soldiers." Feng Guozhang was drinking water and he didn't understand what Li Biao meant. After a while, the meal came. Feng Guozhang said in his heart: Is this the meal that the chief serves to entertain guests? Feng Guozhang was stunned. It turned out that there was only a bowl of porridge, a few steamed buns, a bowl of pork belly, cabbage, and a plate of scrambled eggs, but they were all steaming hot. Li Biao smiled and said to Feng Guozhang: "This place is different from the Qing army. We all eat it." There is nothing you can do about the same meal." The guard next to him said: "You are a guest and I have added a scrambled egg specially for you." Feng Guozhang burst into tears when he heard it. It was definitely different from what he had here during the Qing Dynasty. The food for an official is much higher than that for a soldier. I didn't expect that a division commander in charge of more than 10,000 people would still be the same as a soldier. It had been almost a month since he had eaten properly, so he immediately started to devour it. After eating, the two of them lay down on the map to study the Qing army's counterattack formation. After watching it for a while, Li Biao asked: "Brother, what do you think of the result of their arrangement like this?" Feng Guozhang immediately said: "Not only can't we regain the lost ground? There will be further losses of troops and territory." "Go on." "Sir, you see, now that the Qing armies have no intention of fighting against the Japanese army, only Nie Shicheng's troops can fight with them. The rest of the Japanese army should be defeated immediately. It is to concentrate superior forces to attack one enemy to boost the morale of the Qing army. But now they want to let the defeated soldiers of the Japanese army fight, and they want to comprehensively attack everyone without losing. The enemy is so demoralized that if we allow them to attack, they will be defeated in a big way. The Japanese army will definitely follow us later.?Backed off again. " "Then what do you think we should do? "Li Biao saw that he knew very well about both the enemy and ourselves and decided to test him. "We should leave Jinzhou and then go around the edge of the largest reed in Asia and head eastward towards the west bank of the Liao River so that we can meet the troops in front. This will prevent them from suffering further losses and at the same time curb the Japanese offensive momentum. " "It makes sense, it should be like this. If I want to come up with a surprise attack to recapture Lushun and force the Japanese army back, this is the first step. " "Your Excellency, the entire Northeast is now completely frozen, and there are no obstacles left. As long as Your Excellency sends out a small force to cut off their transportation and supply lines, they themselves will retreat. " "There is no protection from the sea for them now. We give them a hard blow from the land. They will definitely run back. Then we give them another one that will bloom and eat part of them." " "Thank you, sir. " "What do I think? This is not what you have in mind. " Feng Guozhang blushed. In the Qing army, if you tell everything, the officials will not like you because your performance is too slutty, which makes the officials lose face. Therefore, this is the time. There is an issue that subordinates must pay attention to. Feng Guozhang thought that Li Biao was also such a person, so he blushed, but Li Biao said: "Yes, I won't agree with you. Let's start taking action tomorrow. After leaving Jinzhou, they headed straight for Panxian and the west bank of the Liaohe River in the Dawa area. They first broke up the Japanese counterattack and then looked for opportunities to deal with them. " (Today is New Year's Day. Let me first express my holiday congratulations to everyone. I will rush to upload three chapters today. A friend voted for me. I would like to express my sincere gratitude and ask other friends to support me.) Text Chapter 237 The new chief of staff Text Chapter 237 The New Chief of Staff Chapter 237 The New Chief of Staff Chapter 237 The New Chief of Staff "Okay, then we can stop the Japanese attack." "But I still have to fight with that person Mr. Liu told me that he doesn¡¯t want me to go up there.¡± ¡°He wants you to have a strong army here to protect him.¡± ¡°He can only protect him with me, who can defeat him alone.¡± A division? That's ridiculous." Li Biao cursed and shouted: "The guards will immediately send people to the Qing army camp to tell Marshal Liu that we will go to Jinzhou tomorrow and transfer to the front line. We have to provide support for those Qing troops, so I won¡¯t say goodbye to him.¡± ¡°Old Feng, you have been tired these days, so I won¡¯t take up your time. You have a good rest and we will set off tomorrow. I'll ask someone to get you some hot water and give you a good wash. It's time to get some rest." A telegram was sent to Dongying explaining his intention to march and also saying that he would accept it. A telegram from Feng Guozhang, a good staff officer, and Li Zhenhua did not expect it to take only a short time to come back. It was just a few words: "I agree with your battle plan and appoint Feng Guozhang as your chief of staff. Be careful to protect him and make sure there are no mistakes. I wish you all the best." It went well. " Li Biao saw that the leader attached great importance to Feng Guozhang. However, Li Biao knew that his leader was very accurate in judging people. He could never make a mistake in whoever he thought was good. Besides, didn't he also like others? ? If he doesn't like it, I'll let him be his adviser. At this time, Feng Guozhang had already gone to bed. Li Biao did not inform him that we would talk tomorrow. Let him have a good rest first. It seemed that he had not had a good rest for a long time. Li Biao got up early the next morning and saw Feng Guozhang running. He was very happy, so he said to a guard, "Go and invite me the chief of staff." The guard was immediately stunned that there was no chief of staff here. Li Biao immediately told him Said: "That's the Feng Guozhang who just came yesterday." The guard understood and immediately ran to Feng Guozhang, stood at attention and saluted him, and then reported: "Commander Feng, please come over." Feng Guozhang was also stunned here. Chief of Staff Feng? Are you talking about me?" He really didn't understand for a moment. He looked towards the division commander, where Li Biao was waving to him. Feng Guozhang had no choice but to run towards Li Biao: "Commander, are you calling me?" "Yes, yesterday the headquarters sent a telegram asking you to serve as the chief of staff of our division. "Commander, are you kidding me?" "Military Commander Rushan, who are you kidding me? Get ready. Get rid of your braids and make your hair style bald like mine." Li Biao said with a smile. Feng Guozhang thought in his mind that their teacher's eyes were very dangerous, but the eyes of Li Zhenhua, whom he had never met, were even more vicious. He knew that he was different from ordinary people, but he had some lofty ideals. He really dared to employ people. It seems that the rest of my life will be sold to him. How did they know that Li Zhenhua was overqualified for using a president from the Republic of China as a division commander? After some repairs, Feng Guozhang also put on a new combat uniform. He took off the braids on his head and put on a helmet. He looked much more energetic. He entered the division commander's room and gave Li Biao a standard military salute: "Commander, I am a new soldier." When you come here, please tell us directly if you have anything to do. From now on, the relationship between superiors and subordinates will be the same." Li Biao also responded with a military salute and said: "From now on, we will be comrades in arms, and we will help each other from now on. I am straight-tempered. Please forgive me if anything happens. Okay, let's eat right away and then set off. Guard, go and ask the following brigades and regimental commanders to come over to eat together and get to know the new Chief of Staff Feng." Feng Guozhang took office like this. The Fifth Division began to move north, bypassing the largest reed dng in Asia, and then moved eastward until they reached Dawa County. They stopped. After understanding the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the soldiers immediately began to set up defenses. The soldiers began to dig trenches and build fortifications nervously, quietly waiting for the Qing army to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. Three days later, one hundred thousand Qing troops made preparations and began to counterattack the Japanese army. Sure enough, as Li Biao and Feng Guozhang had predicted, the Qing army fired a few sparse shots at the Japanese army and then began to attack the Japanese army. However, the Qing army and the Japanese army were defeated at the first contact. As expected, they followed after the Qing army. The Qing army retreated quickly, and they chased it quickly. They wanted to supplement themselves with the Qing army's food supplies. They followed the Qing army directly to the west like a duck. Come. The troops of the Qing army were retreating back. Suddenly, a trench appeared in front of them. There were not many soldiers guarding there quietly. They were different from the Qing army. Their heads did not have the same red s as their own.There were no braids on their heads, but each of them had a metal hat on their head. The clothes on their bodies were colorful and colorful, which was only visible when they got closer. These Qing soldiers were shocked. Fortunately, they were not the Japanese army. If they were the Japanese army, they would have been miserable until they came up to them. If there was a sudden attack and opened fire, we and the others wouldn't be completely dead. Some Qing soldiers stopped retreating and began to rest behind them. Their mission was to attack, but they hadn't seen the Japanese yet. The officers had already started to run away, and they followed them in confusion. But these Chinese who were not soldiers They are definitely going to fight here, so I have to see how these people fight. This is the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 5th Division. They have built two lines of defenses here. The first road is more than 100 people, and there are more troops behind them. There is also defense in depth behind them. At the same time, we can see that there are still some behind them. The troops saw that they were setting up some thigh-high thick pipes. The pipes were standing on the ground and they didn't know what they were used for. Looking at the soldiers nearby, their guns are different from the ones I use. There is a protruding part in front of the bolt, and I can¡¯t figure out what it is for. There is also a bag on their waist, which contains four things that look like garlic pounding hammers. However, that thing is made of iron and cannot be used to pound garlic. However, there is a lid on the back of it, which may be what is inside. Something. Countless Qing troops passed in front of them. In order to facilitate the retreat of the Qing troops, they also put up some mn boards on their trenches to allow them to pass easily. No matter what the Qing soldiers were doing, they still faced forward and had no intention of retreating to the rear. Some soldiers with a sense of justice admired them greatly. They just did it. Facing the large number of Japanese troops swarming in, they never thought at all. They escaped because they were determined to fight the Japanese army. Some Qing soldiers who were fleeing stopped their retreat. A yellow line appeared in the distance and slowly turned into a yellow line of people. It was the Japanese army. In front of the team, there was a white sun flag swinging in the wind. Some Japanese soldiers also had a small ointment on their guns. Yo Qi and the others came up behind the Qing army, but their queue was much more orderly than those of the Qing army. Seeing the Japanese troops getting closer, the soldiers in colorful clothes all stood up in the trenches and faced the front at an order to prepare for battle. They pushed the rifle forward, pulled back a wrench on the gun, and began to aim forward. The artillerymen on a high ground not far behind also squatted down together. A soldier shouted to the Qing soldiers who were watching like fools: "You run quickly, the fighting will start soon. Otherwise, get down quickly and don't stand there like fools. Japanese guns "You don't have a lot of eyesight." When many Qing soldiers heard this, they were about to run back. At this time, a short man also shouted: "If you are a man, please stop. They are not afraid of the Japanese as common people, but we are afraid of the soldiers." You won¡¯t be ashamed to death when you get back. Those who have the guts to go into the trench with me and those who don¡¯t have the guts to get out of here.¡± After saying that, he took the lead and jumped into the trenches of the Dongying soldiers. The pursuing Japanese troops did not expect that anyone would be waiting for them here. They were still marching forward in a swagger. They thought that no one on Chinese soil could make them stop their invaders. The new soldiers of the Fifth Division were also a little panicked, but when they saw the indifference of the veterans, their moods gradually calmed down. The yellow troops were getting closer and closer, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters. Suddenly a commander's gunshot rang out. This was an order to fire. Then there was the dull "boom boom" sound of the heavy machine gun, the crisp "boom boom" sound of the rifle, and the explosion of the grenade. The artillerymen on the high ground behind them also began to fire shells at the same time. The shells were quickly poured into the yellow ranks of the Japanese army. The monotonous sound was no longer audible. What people heard in their ears was just a blast. With the sound of wind blowing, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing forward quickly fell in front. A large number of living Japanese soldiers quickly ran back, but their two short feet were not as fast as bullets. They continued to fight among the soldiers. The sh hit the Japanese army who fell behind and retreated back at a faster speed. When he saw that the Japanese were about to run away, an officer jumped up from the trench, swung his gun forward and began to pursue the Japanese army. The soldiers also rushed towards the Japanese army. Text Chapter 238 Acquired a Northeastern King Text Chapter 238 Received a Northeastern King Chapter 238 Received a Northeastern King Chapter 238 Received a Northeastern King Seeing that the Japanese were about to flee back, an officer jumped out of the trench, waved his hand forward, and the soldiers jumped out of the trench together The Japanese soldiers rushed out and began to counterattack. The two short legs of the Japanese soldiers ran faster. There were more bullets fired from behind, like raindrops, but the soldiers only rushed forward less than 200 meters. They He stopped and quickly retreated to his position. Only then did the Qing troops watching the battle realize that the battle could still be fought like this. They shouted and rushed forward together, but they were quickly pulled back by the soldiers. The soldiers of the colorful army began to sit in the trenches to rest. Some were cleaning their guns and some were smoking. They didn't care about the situation outside. The soldiers said in a hurry: "I killed four." "I." Two were killed." "I am three." A soldier with a white S strip on his arm and a red S cross on it came over. He was the health worker of this company. When he came over, he asked: "Brothers. Are there any injuries? "No one of us was injured." "They were knocked unconscious by us and there was no chance for us to fight back." The health worker said again: "Please protect yourself." ." Then he went forward and continued to ask other soldiers. Those Qing soldiers who stopped felt all the new things here. They took this opportunity and the cooking team behind them brought food to the soldiers again. The flatbread was hot. The soldiers themselves had a bowl and a big bucket with hot food on their bodies. The porridge is pork belly, cabbage and vermicelli, which is freshly cooked and hot. An older cook said while serving food to the soldiers: "Young men, beat these beasts hard to make them dare to run wild in China." "Old squad leader, just don't worry, beat the Japanese." I'll get you a share. I've just killed three of us, one and a half each." People laughed and the old squad leader said to the Qing soldiers: "Don't look at eating together. There are too many for them. How about a bowl of water to keep warm, little brother? How many Japanese have you killed?" The Qing soldier blushed: "Brother, we just retreated. If you weren't here, we wouldn't know what to do. When did he run away? These officials are really nothing. We came down without firing a shot. I won¡¯t run away this time. I will fight them with you.¡± ¡°A good man should be like this. I¡¯ll listen. Good news for you." "Okay, brother, I'll kill a few Japanese for you if I eat your food." "Brother, your accent sounds like this. What's your name?" His name is Zhang Zuolin and his nickname is Yuting. It turns out that we, the people in the Qing army's cavalry, are in charge of this guy. If I hadn't met you as a soldier, I wouldn't have been a soldier. Now that I see that you have the guts, I'm not a coward, so I'll do it with you. " As he said that, he took his own knife and cut off the braid on his head and asked other soldiers to help him shave his head. At first glance, other Qing soldiers also began to shave their heads like him. The commander of the third regiment, Ping Zhicai, came over in a hurry when he saw the scene. He saw a group of Qing soldiers shaving their heads and said to them: "You have to think about it. We have to endure hardships here." Zhang Zuolin raised the hand in his hand. The Japanese rifle said: "Sir, just take a look at it. None of my soldiers are cowards. They are all good. Now they have Japanese guns in their hands." Captain Ping saw that they were all held by some Qing soldiers. He knew at a glance that these people were capable fighters with Japanese rifles, so he said: "Okay, I will accept you and work hard. Our officers and soldiers are equal here. You will definitely accomplish a lot here." He asked Zhang Zuolin again: "What's your name? How many of you are there?" Zhang Zuolin replied: "I'm Zhang Zuolin. I used to be a sentry commander of the cavalry team. My team consisted of more than a hundred cavalry, and all of them were killed by the Japanese. All of them were officials. If it doesn't work, the Japanese will make a sneak attack. There are only about two hundred others." Ping Zhicai said, "Okay, then go to the back. It's dangerous here." "What?" Zhang Zuolin shouted. Standing up: "Sir, we joined your team to fight. Why did you let us go to the back? Are you looking down on us?" Zhang Zuolin's neck turned red. "No, you have just arrived and you are not familiar with our fighting style. I asked you to go to the back so that you can learn it before you can go into battle." When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he immediately knelt down with one leg. "Sir, please let us be in the front. We I hate those"I'm sorry, they killed all of us in Lushun. Sir, who doesn't have any relatives or friends in Lushun, you must give us a chance for revenge." All the Qing soldiers knelt down and Ping Zhicai saw this. They were all hot-blooded men, so he said to them: "Everyone, get up first. We don't want to kneel. As soon as you join, you must obey the order and let you go to the back. There is a certain reason. You see, our troops can't all be here." Most of the front is at the back. This is a matter of tactics. You leave fifty soldiers with good marksmanship in the front and the rest go to the back. From now on, you are the company commander of this recruit company. If anyone disobeys orders, I will take issue with you. " When Zhang Zuolin saw that this was an order, he couldn't help it. They still regarded people like him who had been soldiers for many years as new recruits. Besides, when they fight in war, they are different from themselves. Let's just be obedient and study hard. Otherwise, there is nothing good. So he stayed Fifty people were in the front and the rest went to the back. At the same time, fifty helmets were distributed to each soldier. The new soldiers immediately felt a sense of security when they put them on. The helmet looked very nice. It looked like it was made of metal, but there was a layer of warm cotton cover inside, which was very comfortable to wear on the head. They immediately threw away the original red S-hat helmet of the Qing army: "Grandma will never wear this thing again." Opposite. The Japanese army is the Sato Regiment of the Japanese army. There are more than 2,200 people, about the strength of a regiment. They are the first unit to charge at the front. The third regiment of the 5th Division came towards them. This attack really knocked them unconscious. Sato Osaka It took a lot of effort to organize the team. He has never been so angry since he entered North Korea. He let people eat up a large team in one encounter. That was nearly 500 people. How did this Qing army become so capable of fighting? Ah, it turns out that they were defeated at the first touch. Their fighting style was different and their morale was different. In the scene just now, he also saw that the Japanese soldiers seemed to have been blown down by a strong wind. Captain Sato raised his telescope and looked at the opposite side for a while. Those Chinese soldiers are different from before. At least their clothes are different. The red helmets with obvious goals are gone. Instead, they are hats that I have never seen before. Their clothes are very special and they are far away and can't be seen at all. It's unclear how many of them are there, and their firepower is much more intense. The small bombs thrown by hand and the small artillery shells flying in the sky are too harmful to the infantry.

A brigade of Japanese soldiers had already arranged their charging formation. Sato said to his soldiers: "For our emperor, for us." The Japanese Empire, you must fight like a real samurai." Then he waved the command sword forward in his hand and the Japanese troops lined up in a neat line and started a new attack. The Japanese artillery began to fire. They wanted to cover their infantry charge. A soldier who was observing said to everyone: "They started again." Some new soldiers stood up and looked into the distance. The Japanese team was moving here, but The veterans hurriedly pulled the recruits down to prevent them from being injured, but they did not look at the Japanese soldiers. They were still recharging their strength, smoking, sleeping, and cleaning their guns. The Japanese artillery began to shell. Their rough shelling only fired shells at the opponent. It had no accurate target and no concentrated firepower. However, their shelling could only be a deterrent for ordinary troops to deal with the original Qing army. That's enough. As soon as the cannon fires, the Qing army will break out and then retreat. But what they faced today was Li Zhenhua's Dongying troops. They didn't pay attention to this kind of pediatric bombardment at all. The heavy artillery regiment hidden behind a small forest immediately began to speak. The artillery regiment's artillery immediately suppressed and struck the Japanese artillery position. They did not let the Japanese artillery speak. Even though their artillery could not see the opponent's target, it was still accurate. After firing for a while, the Japanese artillery slowly stopped. After entering 400 meters, the veterans began to shoot at the dense formation. Once a shot passed by, someone must have fallen, but there were people behind them to supplement them. After entering 300 meters, the heavy machine guns on both sides of the charging Japanese army began to cover the heavy rain. The special officers pointed their guns at the enemy's machine guns as bullets shot through them. A Japanese soldier fell down immediately, and then someone came up to replace him. However, a mortar shell fell and even their machine guns were blown away. The Japanese machine guns kept firing like this, and they were unable to suppress the firepower of the three regiments. More soldiers began to fire. At the same time, the mortars also started their blocking fire. As soon as a shell passed by, a group of enemies fell. The mortars continued to fire. Finally, the Japanese army was close to 100 meters away. A Japanese officer howled in his hand. The Japanese soldiers waved their command knives forward and began to charge, holding their rifles with bayonets flat. All the soldiers in the trenches began to shoot. However, the Japanese soldiers still rushed to about fifty meters in front of the trenches. The soldiers put down their guns and took them. The grenades were fired and a large number of grenades flew towards the enemy's queue. A roaring explosion sounded, and at the same time a lot of smoke and dust flew up. After the smoke and dust fell, some Japanese soldiers who were not dead had already rushed to the front of the trench with guns in hand. The soldiers in the trench jumped out of the trench and fought with the Japanese army. The Qing soldiers were happy to see it. What they are best at is playing with the enemy with big blades, letting the Japanese army chase them. This time they can finally vent their anger and rush forward with the big blades in their hands. When an officer of the New Army saw that the soldiers were about to fight with the enemy, he quickly took out his pistol and called the enemy's name. As he beat, he shouted: "Fight with your gun, don't fight with their bayonet." Others wearing pistols They all took out their pistols and shot the Japanese soldiers with rifles. They were also very smart. Instead of trying to fight with the Japanese soldiers on their bayonets, they pressed the muzzles of their guns down and fired at the Japanese soldiers. Zhang Zuolin, who had just hacked to death a Japanese soldier, was now facing another Japanese soldier. Although Zhang Zuolin was relatively small, he did not take the enemy to heart. He was about to attack the Japanese soldier before he used his sword skills. Hearing the sound of a gunshot next to him, the Japanese soldier on the other side fell down. He was so angry that he gave the Japanese soldier another blow. Then he rushed forward to deal with another Japanese soldier. Within a few minutes, all the Japanese soldiers who rushed up had been wiped out. This made Zhang Zuolin very depressed. He had never lagged behind others in fighting, but today he couldn't perform at all. Although the Japanese soldiers in front of him were all killed by his own people, it was his brothers who cared about him. So he also asked the regiment leader for a pistol. When the regiment commander saw that he was brave in fighting and had good hands, he gave him his pistol and taught him how to use it. Zhang Zuolin quickly learned to use it with his own soldiers. Someone immediately asked the veterans for grenades. With the help of the veterans, they quickly mastered the essentials and knew how to use them. The soldiers quickly retreated into the trenches. They wanted to prevent the enemy's artillery from retaliating against their infantry. However, the Japanese army only fired a few shots from their own artillery before they were suppressed. The Japanese army's artillery fire was not effective at all.?? is coming. Another brigade of Sato's regiment was crippled. When he saw it, he had no choice but to send a request to his immediate superior, saying that he had encountered a strong counterattack by the Qing army and asked for support. The current Japanese offensive forces in Liaoning are Lieutenant General Katsura Taro's Third Division under the First Army under the command of General Yamagata Aritomo and Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki's Fifth Division, a total of 30,000 people. The attacking force now is Lieutenant General Katsura Taro's Third Division, and General Nozu Michizuki's Fifth Division is responsible for garrisoning the line from Yingkou to Lushun. In addition to guarding the occupied areas, they also need to send a large number of troops to solve the problem of logistical supplies. The Second Army, led by Commander Dashanyan, has already gone to Weihai. The area he occupied also has to be defended by General Youtomo of Shanxian County. As soon as he came to Shan County, Youpeng's battle line was stretched so that he had less than 20,000 troops to attack. He originally had to deal with the Qing army. He didn't take them to heart. Many battles had shown that no matter how many soldiers they came, it would be useless. They were all beaten and frightened. As soon as they encountered each other, they would retreat. On the way. I heard that Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang of the Qing Dynasty, was the one who recently came to command the army. I just heard that he was very capable of dealing with the Taiping Army and Nian Army back then. But wouldn't it be the same if he encountered our Japanese army? But on the same day, he received multiple reports requesting additional troops, saying that they had encountered unprecedented resistance. It is estimated that about two to three thousand troops have been lost. Moreover, their weapons were much better than those of the original Qing army, and their morale was also very high. At first, the division commander, Lieutenant General Gui Tailang, cursed them as fools, but then multiple reports of requests for reinforcements made him calm down. Could it be that the Qing people Is there really any secret weapon that can defeat His Majesty the Emperor's soldiers? It's impossible. Their Qing troops are retreating steadily in front of me. How can they have the ability to stop us? A staff officer next to him whispered to him: "Your Excellency, have you forgotten our navy?" This sentence reminded Commander Shanxian Youpeng that his navy was wiped out by the Qing people without warning. ? Thinking of this, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. It would be very bad if he encountered that army. General Yamagata Aritomo immediately ordered Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki, who was in charge of the defense, to strengthen the defense of the 5th Division. At the same time, he sent reinforcements to Katsura Taro's 3rd Division and ordered Lieutenant General Katsura Taro's 3rd Division to shrink its troops and not to carry out comprehensive operations. Attack, concentrate your forces to break through a point, then form a counter-encirclement against the enemy and then destroy them. General Shanxian Youpeng¡¯s reaction was quite quick. Text Chapter 240 The Art of War Text Chapter 240 The Art of War Chapter 240 The Art of War Chapter 240 The Art of War The troops under Commander Yamagata Aritomo immediately carried out his order. The troops under Katsura Taro stopped their all-out attack. The troops on both flanks moved towards the face. The area moved closer to prepare to break through the squadron's defense and attack the Jinzhou area. At the same time, the reinforcements sent by Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki also began to reinforce the Liaohe Estuary line. At the Fifth Division, Li Biao saw that the Japanese army in the north began to retreat southward. He carefully analyzed the situation. At the same time, the report given to him by the Third Regiment was: the Japanese army in front of him did not retreat but increased its strength. Li Biao and Feng Guozhang smiled at each other. When a breakthrough was about to be concentrated, he immediately ordered the airship assigned to him to take off to conduct reconnaissance on the enemy's actions from a high altitude. Soon they sent back the message. All the enemy's troops were heading south. They concentrated about 20,000 troops. Their troops The target should be the third regiment's position guarding the southernmost point. Li Biao smiled and said to Feng Guozhang: "How about it? Eat their third division." Feng Guozhang was not particularly confident about his newly arrived troops, and the strength of both sides was similar. The Japanese army was down to 20,000 people in the fifth division. The total strength of the enemy is 18,000, and it is possible to defeat the opponent with the same force in a normal battle. But when Feng Guozhang saw the evil smile on the division commander's face, he had no choice but to say: "What does the division commander mean to do?" "What should we do? Cold salad" He pointed at the map with his finger and said: "Concentrate the troops and drive the enemy into the reed dng in the south. "Feng Guozhang immediately understood that the reeds had no moisture in the current weather, so the best way was to attack with fire. The two of them said together: "Attack with fire." They immediately laughed. If you add a big fire, the comparison of forces will not be as simple as one to one. Feng Guozhang said: "Master, Zhuge Liang used fire to attack the enemy in the mountains. They couldn't run away. Now the Northeast is full of ice and snow. The rivers have long been frozen. They can run around. Isn't our stove a little too big?" "Haha. The mountain man has his own clever plan. The leader has already given me a good plan. No one of them can escape and they will be burned to death." Li Biao said fiercely. The Japanese troops quickly concentrated to the south. Lieutenant General Katsura Taro's headquarters was stationed at the bend of the Liao River. To the northeast was the upper reaches of the Liao River. From here, it turned to the southeast direction downstream. He called a meeting of his officers to declare his war intentions. The chief of staff said to the generals below: "Our current location is on the west bank of the Liao River. In front of us is the land of the Qing Dynasty. We have to keep moving forward to defeat them. We will have our own way of survival and get the food we need. Our supplies are behind the Liaohe River and there is no way to retreat." Here he also quoted a saying from ancient Chinese soldiers: "Throw them to death and survive." He also talked about the famous generals of the Han Dynasty during the dispute between Qin and Han in ancient China. Han Xin lined up his troops by the river. When the enemy came, he said to his soldiers: "With the enemy in front, there is no way to retreat. The only way to survive is to fight to the death." As a result, the soldiers fought to the death and won a complete victory. Katsura Taro also said to the following in the same tone: "Now we can only fight to the death." But the generals who participated in the meeting knew that the chief of staff and division commander were talking nonsense because the Liaohe River behind them had already frozen. The surroundings are not a place of death at all, and there is absolutely no feeling of risking one's life to survive. In order to strictly enforce military discipline, Lieutenant General Katsura Taro ordered his guards to pull out Sato, who was unfavorable in commanding the battle, and shot him. He handed over the remaining troops to his elite force, led by Yamada Colonel. As a result, the officers and subordinates of the Japanese army were all afraid. They were afraid that the same fate would befall them, and they were determined to fight this battle well. Katsura Taro handed over all the artillery of the entire division to Yamada Colonel. Although his supply line had been destroyed by the Chinese, he later captured a large number of Qing army artillery and ammunition, so he gave Yamada Kazuo enough artillery shells for him. Unified command is what we are determined to win. Correspondingly, the Fifth Division also made adjustments here. According to the report provided by the airship, the first step was to move the infantry units to the opposite side of the enemy to block the enemy's advance and let the soldiers build fortifications. A total of three fortifications were built as the first line of defense in depth. It's the second level of a platoon and the third level of a company, which is the battalion level. Two artillery companies were dispatched to garrison on the edge of the Liao River, and a battalion of troops was sent to first build a fire path in the reed dng to prevent the reeds from burning to the west. The airship troops will also participate in the battle this time. Their goal is to use aerial bombs and heavy machine guns to deal with the enemy's artillery positions. All artillery is still being used intensively, and now a batch of Qing army's artillery has been added. Although the Qing army's artillery is not very advanced, some troops are still well-trained and the accuracy of shooting is alsoIt's just that they can't perform well because of their backward tactical thinking. Now, sending them several staff members to provide coaching and guidance will also give them the concept of precise shooting. When they start fighting, they will be much better off if they are given accurate directions. The Japanese artillery is now only conducting rough strikes, while the artillery of the Fifth Division is conducting precise strikes because there are airships above their heads commanding and calibrating for them. War is an art, and the commander of both sides is a brilliant artist. Both sides are making preparations, and soon they start their own performances. After careful preparation, Lieutenant General Katsura Taro issued the order to start the offensive on December 15, 1995. A battalion of five hundred people from Colonel Yamada had already lined up and was just waiting to charge. At this time, the Japanese artillery started their artillery fire, preparing their intensive artillery fire to start a crazy attack on the first line of defense of the Fifth Division. The soldiers in the trenches are now well prepared. They have dug their trenches very scientifically. Since it is winter, all they need to do is break through the permafrost layer on the surface. The soldiers have dug out their hiding places very cleverly. As long as many cat-eared dng enemy shells do not fall directly on your head, there will be absolutely no danger. The artillery of the Fifth Division fired a shell at the Japanese artillery array in advance. The airship in the air immediately reported their deviation. The artillery quickly made corrections and another shot hit. Then they did not continue to fire but waited for the Japanese action. . As soon as the Japanese artillery bombardment started, the airship reported to them again. The artillery regiment commander quickly pointed out their distance and direction to all the cannons. The Japanese cannons only fired one round of artillery shells from the Fifth Division, and then the airships flew towards their artillery positions in groups. The soldiers on board shouted: "Brothers artillerymen, keep fighting well." After saying that, they immediately rushed to the Japanese army's position with their other airships. They used their heavy machine guns and ten kilogram bombs to attack the Japanese army at an altitude of four or five hundred meters. The Japanese artillery position was already forming a group. They didn't care where the shells came from, they just looked for a place to hide. Text Chapter 241 Hold the position Text Chapter 241 Hold the position Chapter 241 Hold the position Chapter 241 Hold the position The airship itself is absolutely safe at an altitude of three or four hundred meters. The airships that can go to the battlefield have been protected and equipped with firepower against the enemy. The main force for attacking the enemy is arranged to be heavy machine guns. To protect ourselves, we have selected some special forces to use their accurate shooting to attack attacks that threaten us. The enemy can only use rifles and cannons to attack attacks from above. There is no such thing. Even with heavy machine guns, it is impossible for them to have such a high elevation angle to hit the opponent's sh-shots. That is to use rifles against rifles. Whoever's sh-shot accuracy is higher will have the upper hand. d text But for a heavy machine gun, a shot from this distance is absolutely fatal. It can actively shoot at the enemy or protect itself. Those snipers can also fully display their own skills. The Japanese troops are responsible for protecting the artillery positions. They did not dare to come up during this bombardment. They just shot at the airship from a distance, but it was of no use at all and did not affect the normal operation of the airship at all. A shell hit the shells piled by the Japanese army next to the cannon, causing a fatal explosion. The shrapnel from the huge explosion flew more than a hundred meters into the air. The huge air current even shook the airship at a high place. The shelling on the Japanese artillery position soon stopped. Some of the Japanese soldiers were killed, and more were stunned by the huge explosion. Then a raging fire began to burn. It was freezing cold and there was no need to find water to put out the fire. The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to run around for their lives. The soldiers who fainted would not avoid the fire. On the ground, a brigade of the Yamada Regiment has already begun to charge. They are still carrying out a dense charge formation according to their steps, rushing towards the position of the third regiment. They are flanked by heavy machine guns to cover the attack. This time, their two sides are attacking. There are more than 200 cavalry on the side as a supporting force for the rapid attack. The soldiers of the third regiment entered the position. The soldiers of a platoon in front were bravely attacking the Japanese troops. Heavy machine guns and mortars were supporting them in the position behind them. Qi Shaoyong was the platoon leader of this platoon. Although he was not old, he was already a veteran for many years. He was manipulating a heavy machine gun and desperately firing at the Japanese troops. Next to him was the machine gun, which kept reminding him: "Pay attention to the enemy's cavalry. They are about to start charging." The platoon leader fired while While saying: "I know, continue to observe." The Japanese cavalry on the opposite side saw that they were approaching the defensive position. The Japanese cavalry squadron leader issued an order to his subordinates. He swung his command sword forward and the cavalry used their strength to knock the belly of the war horse. With a cry, they suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. Under the control of the riders, the Japanese war horses rushed forward like crazy. Several heavy machine guns that had been prepared had turned their muzzles and fired bullets at them like splashing water. A red horse rushed at the front. S's horse was knocked down. The cavalryman flew off the horse and fell to the ground motionless. His horse became an obstacle for the horses behind. The two horses behind him fell again and the third horse stood up under the control of the rider. The cavalryman who got up obviously couldn't control it and slid off the back of the horse, but one of his feet was still on the stirrup. The horse rushed forward like crazy. The Japanese soldier's head and shoulders kept shaking with the ice. The earth is in intimate contact. The machine guns on the second line behind them also started to shoot at them. One squadron of Japanese cavalry was killed before they could rush into the position. The cavalry on the other side also met the same fate. However, because the soldiers concentrated their firepower to attack their cavalry, the Japanese infantry in the center had taken the opportunity to rush to the place fifty meters in front of the position. Soldier Ding Dali threw his rifle aside and took out two grenades from the grenade box next to him. He used his hands to unscrew the lids. He bit off the two lids with his mouth and started the fire. He stopped for a moment before throwing the grenades out. The two grenades exploded in the air. The Japanese army fell. Other soldiers also put down their rifles and began to attack the enemy. The smoke from the grenade explosion shrouded all the Japanese troops. The soldiers were all very experienced. They immediately picked up their guns, fixed their bayonets, and prepared for a counterattack. Sure enough, several Japanese soldiers rushed out of the smoke and dust with disgrace. Ding Dali took the lead and jumped out of the trench to meet the enemy. He was now one-on-one. The two Japanese soldiers faced him. Ding Dali's assassination skills were second to none in the entire division. A good player, he stopped the Japs on the right with his hand and fired his gun. His target was Ding Dali's left chest. Ding Dali used the front part of the gun to knock the Japs soldier's gun to the left. At the same time, he stepped forward with his right foot and the rifle body fell. Come over, the butt of the gun draws a beautiful arc and hits the left side of the Japanese's head hard. He is immediately shot. The second Japanese is stunned. Shen Ding Dali shouts again: "Kill!" The bayonet has been inserted. The enemy's chest. The Japs' blood spurted out, and even Ding Dali's body was covered in blood. Ding Dali kicked the Japanese soldiers away and then used his eyes to look for other Japanese soldiers and found that none of them were standing. The platoon leader shouted and all the soldiers retreated to their positions and hid.Come. The commanders on both sides were observing the situation on the battlefield with binoculars. They all saw the thrilling battle just now, especially Li Biao, who threw everything in the command post to Feng Guozhang. He ran to the forward position and watched the soldiers fight. Kill him and said to Ma Rui, the commander of the second regiment: "That young man is really good. When I saw him fighting one against two, I was really worried for him. Unexpectedly, he took down two Japanese devils in two moves." Ma Rui said to Li Biao : "In training, he often fights one-on-one. There are not many people in the group who can beat him." Li Biao's hands were itchy and he said to Ma Rui: "Give me a chance to practice with him." "Commander, you are not afraid of others saying that you are as active as a child even though you are a grown-up." "Stop talking nonsense. This is to improve the combat level of the soldiers." The remaining few mn cannons of the Japanese army fired again at Yamada. The scene just now made him feel guilty, but Sato's fate made him shudder. He had to rush forward with all his strength. He immediately organized two more brigades to rush upward. This time they finally gained a foothold at the first trench. It was already afternoon. He was determined to charge again. This time he organized all the officers. He tied a belt only used by warriors on his head and took off his military uniform jacket. Only a piece of white underwear was left. He grabbed a rifle from a soldier. He wanted to personally lead the soldiers to charge. Lieutenant General Katsura Taro's words echoed in his ears: "Baga, you lost more than a thousand before you advanced more than a hundred." If you don't capture the enemy's position before midnight, you will come to see me." Yamada finally ordered: "All the soldiers in the regiment will charge with me to defeat the Chinese on the opposite side and capture their position." The charge formation set out. In front of them was a row of officers wearing white coats. This Yamada was going to risk his life. In order to keep in line with him, the officers behind him all wore a white band on their heads with a red dot on it. The soldiers all laughed happily and said: Text Chapter 242: Hold the position (2) Text Chapter 242 Hold the position (2) Chapter 242 Hold the position (2) Chapter 242 Hold the position (2) "Are they going to a funeral? They are all wearing mourning." "They are letting us practice aiming. The red dot on his head is so conspicuous. Don¡¯t miss the spot when you take a look. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s disgusting to tie his wife¡¯s menstrual belt on his head?¡± They were waiting quietly for the Japanese soldiers to come up, but they said so. The guns in their hands were already aimed at the little red dots in the distance. The Japanese army's artillery preparations were even worse. They only fired a few shots and then stopped. Now they were very scared. As long as they fired a dozen guns, they would immediately call in the squadron's artillery cover. There are no more cavalry on both sides to cooperate with the attack. Now they only have the heavy machine guns on both sides fighting desperately. But the special officers of the third regiment are specifically mn to deal with them. The other machine guns are also fighting against them. The front of their own heavy machine guns is thick. The other side didn't have a shield made of steel plates. The target of those mortars is also their gunner. He raised his thumb and took a look with one eye to tell the opponent's distance and angle. The gunner next to him immediately followed the gunner's order to adjust the mortar's angle at high speed. The gunner waved his hand and the gunner next to him placed the shell at the muzzle. He released his hands and the shell fell into the gun chamber. With a "boom" sound, the small shell flew out and hit the Japanese accurately. man's heavy machine gun. The Japanese army only has one machine gun and three weapons to deal with it, so it will be much better than them. It¡¯s not that the Japanese soldiers didn¡¯t want to hit the Chinese heavy machine guns, but their bullets often hit the shields and made a ¡°dang¡± sound, and then they didn¡¯t know where they flew. The Japanese attack was still the same as before. They used machine guns on both sides to provide cover, but they were shot down by the Third Regiment early. It was either a machine gun or a mortar. It would be even worse if they were hit by a mortar. When the people are finished, even the machine guns will be destroyed. Yamada's luck was pretty good. He actually rushed more than a hundred meters in front of the Third Regiment's position. He swung the command knife in front of him and shouted loudly, "Yeah, give it." The Japanese soldiers behind him shouted, "Class." "Ah!" The Japanese army began their last charge before dark. The setting sun shone on the bodies of the Japanese soldiers and pointed out the target for the soldiers of the third regiment. However, the Japanese soldiers facing the sun could not see clearly what was on their opposite side. Now they only had to be beaten. . The Third Regiment of the Fifth Division is also suffering heavy casualties. The first battalion has suffered too many casualties and has gone down and been replaced by the second battalion. They have also moved up the third battalion. The first company has finished the fight quickly. The Japanese army has rushed to the second line. The commander of the third battalion on the defense line shouted: "Brothers, destroy them there." He held a heavy machine gun and began to shoot out the hateful bullets like splashing water. When the commander of the third regiment saw that the Japanese army had reached the end of the strong bow, he took his last reserve team up. It was his guard company. Commander Ping of the third regiment shouted loudly to his guard company: "Brothers, that's what's ahead. Those Japanese devils who killed countless of our brothers and sisters. Today, many of our brothers have fallen under their guns. Now it¡¯s time for you to show off your skills. Beat these beasts hard.¡± The guard company usually trains the hardest. At this time, the company commander just said: "Brothers, whether it's a mule or a horse, don't pretend to be a grandson to me." The guard company rushed to the position like a gust of wind. Each of them had two long and short two weapons. These excellent soldiers not only have personal skills but also good brains. When they go up, they don't fight with the enemy. They all take out their pistols. When they see their own people fighting with the enemy with bayonets, they go up and knock the enemy down with one shot. Then face new enemies with that warrior. The training of the Japanese army was very focused on assassination, but when faced with such tactics, they had no choice but to fall to the guns of the soldiers one by one. There were always a few guards in front of Yamada to protect him. When he saw a large number of Japanese soldiers falling, he had to admit that this time the attack had failed again. Several of his guards pulled him up and ran back. The other Japanese troops retreated again. The soldiers of the third regiment chased them and shot back to the Japanese army's own place. When Yamada looked back, he saw that only more than a hundred people had returned. Yamada Ichiro remembered the words of the division commander, Lieutenant General Katsura Taro, and he returned to his tent, blasted the soldiers out, and committed suicide by caesarean section with his beloved katana. In the division headquarters of Lieutenant General Katsura Taro, Lieutenant General Katsura Taro was very dissatisfied with today's attack, but he knew that his soldiers had tried their best. He also saw with his own eyes the situation of today's battle, not because his officers and soldiers did not work hard, but because The squadron on the opposite side fought so well. Their morale was high and their weapons were advanced, especially those hand-thrown bombs and those small cannons. Those two weapons were so good against the infantry. What should I do? The situation in front of him made him breathless. Seeing the sad look on the division commander¡¯s face, his subordinatesNone of the officers dared to speak. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him. Finally, his chief of staff walked up to him and whispered to him: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I think we should attack them from the side." Katsura Taro watched. The chief of staff nodded and said: "Not only from the side. We also have to sneak attack them. Their army cannot all be such capable troops." Seeing the division commander's face improved, their men looked better. After being able to breathe a sigh of relief, Katsura Taro decided to use a regiment to carry out a sneak attack tomorrow morning and at the same time send two brigades to sneak attack them from both wings to break their defenses and open the way to the west. After Lieutenant General Katsura Taro¡¯s order was issued, each unit began to prepare. Li Biao counted the battle situation. The third regiment lost more than 300 officers and soldiers today, and more than 700 people were injured, accounting for more than one-half of the entire regiment. However, the new Zhang Zuolin was a lucky general, and he was only wounded on the head. The bullet scratched a piece of skin. In one day, he had killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. Ping Zhicai had promoted him to the position of battalion commander. In one day, the Third Regiment repelled more than a dozen enemy charges. They crippled two Japanese regiments and nearly two thousand soldiers fell on the land in front of them. This was mainly because they took advantage of weapons. In the evening, the north wind blew and the sky turned cloudy. It looked like it would snow soon. Li Biao and Feng Guozhang thought that it was impossible for the enemy to be beaten like this. They simply couldn't afford it. They must retaliate. It is very likely that they will launch a night attack on us tonight. Thinking of this, they ordered the airship unit to keep an airship in the air to continue to monitor the enemy's situation. Each guard unit placed sentries in front of the enemy's eyes. If they were to take action, they could take precautions in advance. At the same time, they decided to launch a general attack on the enemy tonight based on changes in the weather. Drive them into the reeds as quickly as possible and conduct a fire attack on them. The sky is very heavy and it may start to snow. If it snows, the effect will not be good. . Anyway, my troops often conduct night combat training, which is also my strength. Text Chapter 243 The fire in the reed marsh burns Katsura Taro Text Chapter 243: Reed marsh burns Katsura Tarang Chapter 243: Reed dng burns Katsura Tarang Chapter 243: Reed dng burns Katsura Tarang The brigades and regimental commanders who had been waiting impatiently ran into the division commander's headquarters. The three regiments in front were already there. The fight had been going on for two days and they were still on standby. None of these people were in a hurry. So they came to request the mission. But when they saw the smiling face of the division commander, they also laughed together because they knew that the division commander came to them for something. Tasks assigned. Sure enough, Li Biao said with a smile: "You are already anxious as a reserve team. I have told you not to be anxious. You will fight the battle. Now please ask Chief of Staff Feng to tell you about your specific combat missions." Feng Guozhang used a stick Stick pointed at the map and told them about the combat mission: "The first regiment and second regiment of the first brigade plus the fourth regiment of the second brigade, you press the enemy from the Zhangjia shack in the north to the thirteenth family and go south and squeeze them into the reeds. You The mission has been completed. ""The fifth and sixth regiments of the second brigade cooperated with the third regiment to intercept the enemy from the west, and they also cooperated with the northern troops to push them southward and let them enter the Reed River. After the battle started, the mission of the two heavy artillery companies was to blockade the Liaohe River. "A staff officer immediately asked: "The distance between the two companies in the Liaohe River is not feasible." "Okay. They were only responsible for blasting out some scattered ice on the Liao River to the east of the Japanese army. The river water below was raised and the river was blocked. It got colder later this year and the ice layer was not too thick now. As long as it was blasted. After driving some ice water, the cold water came up, which is the enemy's natural blockade. "Li Biao stood up and asked the artillery regiment commander: "How do you know the enemy's positions?" The commander of the artillery regiment stood up and saluted Li Biao and said: "Report to the division commander that all the enemy's targets have been calibrated to ensure that not a single shell is wasted." "I think the artillerymen of the Qing army have performed well. They can do it now." Did you carry out a precise strike?" Li Biao asked. "Yes," the artillery regiment commander replied: "After a day of fighting, they can do it now. It turns out that they have not been trained much, and their original tactics were wrong, so their strengths cannot be used. Now they are doing the same as us. Two days of fighting is enough. This brings us to the firepower of three regiments." "Then it will be up to you. Today I want to invite everyone to watch your barrage Xu Jin performance." Li Biao. Then he said to everyone: "Now let's check the time. The attack will start at 11 o'clock tonight. Now it will be 5:13 pm." After checking the time, the officers left happily. After a day of fighting at night, the Japanese soldiers are all tired. Except for the sentries who are still guarding their posts, most of the Japanese soldiers have rested. Taking less exercise can reduce the loss of some calories. Now the food is getting less and less. The daily ration is decreasing. The soldiers all entered their tents and slept. The entire Japanese military camp was silent. Only the north wind blew some dry branches and made a "woo-woo" sound. The second hand of the pocket watch is rotating rapidly and the hour hand is also moving towards eleven o'clock. Li Biao said to Feng Guozhang: "Let's get started." He picked up the telescope and walked outside. Three correspondents followed him. In their hands was a signal gun. Suddenly three red flares appeared in the sky. They rose to high altitude and then slowly landed. Then the sky sounded like thunder. Countless shells dragged flames and flew towards the northernmost Japanese station. The Japanese station immediately It became a sea of ??fire and they felt as if the world was ending and shells kept falling. The dense garrison of the Japanese army was like a boiling pot. The bitter and sour fried yo caused a fire and there was a cry everywhere. The Japanese soldiers were hiding in the east and could not find a hiding place. When the Japanese soldiers saw it, they hurriedly started to escape. To the north is China. We couldn't go to the place where the people were, so we had to run to the south where we were not attacked by the Chinese. Twenty minutes later, artillery fire began to advance to the south. A batch of artillery shells fell every 50 meters. The impact point of the artillery shells was a horizontal line. This line of fire was advancing. The Japanese troops began to flee in all directions, but what greeted them from the north was an extremely violent heavy fire. As soon as they saw the machine gun fire, they started to turn around and run south again. It was safe now that the machine guns behind them could not hit them, but the shells were slowly advancing southward from behind, so most of the Japanese troops began to run southward. The two artillery companies guarding the edge of the Liaohe River began to fire on the Liaohe River. Soon the Liaohe River was in a mess. Ice holes punched by the shells were filled with water, and soon there was a layer of water on the ice. The water flowed rapidly towards the mouth of the Liaohe River, and soon the Japanese troops were trapped here and it became a death place. Some Japanese soldiersThey were running towards the Liaohe River, but when they reached the river slope, the river was full of rolling water. By the light of the artillery fire, they saw that there were some ice floes on the water floating downstream. It was impossible to cross the river here. It was impossible to cross the river. I would freeze myself to death in the past. The artillery fire was getting closer and closer to the north, so they had no choice but to run south. Anyway, it was convenient for them to run there. Although some Japanese soldiers tried to rush across the Liaohe River, they fell into the ice not far after rushing forward. The Japanese soldiers who were following behind quickly stopped advancing and then turned around and ran south. The Japanese soldiers who ran to the west were also beaten back. Now there is only one way to the south. At this time, the Japanese army has understood that the only way to the south is the way to survive. The other places are all places of death. In the headquarters of the Division Commander Katsura Taro, he was imagining the attack tomorrow morning. The advance attack of the squadron had completely disrupted his deployment. Hearing the explosions getting closer and closer to the north, he was also a little panicked. He wanted to send troops. Blocking the enemy, but in such a dark night, his officers could not find their soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their officers. Katsura Taro's guard captain hurriedly helped him onto his horse and fled to the south, away from the shouts. He was followed by a group of officers. Katsura Taro said in his heart: "This is a huge defeat." Now there is nothing anyone can do but wait until dawn to find a way to organize the troops. Katsura Taro ran into the reeds and the pursuers behind him were far away. His heart calmed down, but his chief of staff said to him: "Your Excellency, our situation is very unfavorable. The wind is so strong and the reeds are in winter." But it's all done." Katsura looked at the sky, and light snow had begun to fall. He felt relieved and said to the chief of staff: "It doesn't matter, it's already snowing. Even if the squadron uses fire, we won't lose anything. It will be too big." Text Chapter 244 Fire borrows the power of the wind, and the wind aids the power of fire Text Chapter 244: Fire borrows wind and wind to support fire Chapter 244: Fire borrows wind and wind to support fire If we set fire to all sides, we will all be doomed." He immediately ordered the soldiers to build a fire escape around him to prevent the squadron from attacking with fire. However, many soldiers were tired and no one wanted to move. But the Chief of Staff But he got furious and told the soldiers to insist on doing it. Finally, he shot two soldiers to death. Only then did the exhausted soldiers start to take action. Katsura Taro saw him like this and ignored him, which allowed them to avoid a catastrophe and save the lives of thousands of soldiers. Seeing that the Japanese army had completely entered the reeds, the troops behind began to block the escape route of the Japanese army. To the west was the main force of the Second Brigade. To the north was the main force of the First Brigade. To the south was the sea and to the east was the Liaohe River. The Japanese army was now completely surrounded. The soldiers who had been prepared took out the Molotov cocktails they carried, fearing that they would not catch fire, and then tied them with a grenade and threw them into the reeds, causing a fire with a bang. Looking from a distance, dozens of fire spots had quickly connected into one. The wind took advantage of the fire and the fire took advantage of the wind. The fire roared and swept away towards the Japanese troops in the reeds. Immediately, the Japanese troops began to howl like ghosts and wolves. Seeing that the fire was on fire, Feng Guozhang smiled at Li Biao and said: "In the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang burned the Tengjia soldiers, he said that it would shorten my life. It seems that we will also shorten our life." Li Biao laughed and said: "I said old Feng, if they didn't come to China, why would they go to their homes and burn them? Don't worry, the people will burn incense for you and wish you a long life." Feng Guozhang also laughed. The firewall that Katsura Taro's chief of staff asked the soldiers to build played a certain role, but the Japanese soldiers did not have this common sense. When they saw the fire coming, they still ran away everywhere. If the north is not possible, then run west, but the powerful ones The firepower pushed them back. The cold water of the Liao River to the east was also impossible, so they could only run south, but soon they ran to the edge of the sea. What greeted them in front was the cold sea water. At this time, the Japanese army was completely hopeless. There was no way to go. Under the pressure of the fire and thick smoke, some Japanese soldiers who were unwilling to be burned to death kept retreating into the sea and froze to death. The fire in the sea continued to burn until the next morning. With the help of heavy snow, nearly 20,000 Japanese troops were extinguished and that was it. As the day dawned, the snow fell even more fiercely. However, the fire continued to burn towards the sea. Fortunately, there was a strong north wind, otherwise the smell of burning people would definitely be unpleasant. The polluted air was all blown by the northwest wind. The sea has gone up. It is impossible to count how many Japanese soldiers died of cold and starvation on the sea. The Japanese soldiers who were burned to death by fire were even more ugly. First they were roasted by the fire, then the snow turned into water and their clothes were all wet. Finally, when the northwest wind blew, they All frozen into popsicles. Li Biao ordered the large troops to withdraw, leaving only a small number of troops to guard the seaside to conduct searches. He took in the Japanese soldiers who were not dead and helped them if they were seriously injured. He quickly confessed to them and helped them if they were lightly injured. Bandage the rest of the troops; there is no need to accompany them to suffer the cold in this heavy snowstorm. The person Li Biao is most concerned about right now is Lieutenant General Katsura Taro, but no matter how many prisoners he interrogated, he still doesn¡¯t know his fate, but they all say that Lieutenant General Katsura Taro was in the reed dng at the end. There is no way to count the results of the battle. A heavy snow covered everything, but it was still possible to distinguish where the Japanese troops were stationed. There were a lot of materials discarded by the Japanese troops, but there were not many prisoners, only more than 3,000 people. After a careful search, Lieutenant General Katsura Taro was finally found. It turned out that his chief of staff's hand was really effective and left him alive. If it weren't for his hand, he probably wouldn't have been able to capture many prisoners. Li Biao just put away the military flags of Gui Tailang, his command knife and pistol. He didn't care about the rest. He didn't want to bother to guard the prisoners himself and sent them all to Liu Kunyi in the back. Master Liu was very good. I am happy that I finally won a battle against Japan on the Northeast battlefield. It is not easy. Although it is said that the victory was won by my brother-in-law's army, I am the supreme commander, so I also have a share of the credit. He immediately sent an eight-hundred-mile expedited victory report to the court in the name of the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. Liu Kunyi, who was a Jinshi and did not dare to take the credit for his father-in-law's achievements, used a brilliant pen like a flower to record the military achievements of Li Zhenhua's security forces. After making a report, of course I didn¡¯t forget to give myself some fans to see how he planned things later. This caused a stir in the government and the public. This Li Zhenhua was so capable. When a Qing army of 100,000 or 200,000 people faced the Japanese army, they would just say "fear" and then run away. And that young prince-in-law faced him. For foreigners, it means "war" and then victory. The commander of the Japanese First Army, General Aritomo Yamagata,Braving the heavy snow, he moved his headquarters to Anton on the Yalu River, but he felt it was unsafe, so he retreated and moved his headquarters to Pyongyang, North Korea, and then he felt relieved. The successive defeats left him with no courage to fight anymore. The second army had been completely annihilated. His first army had lost more than half of its 60,000 troops. Ten thousand of them had been captured, killed and 40,000 wounded. There are less than 10,000 fighting troops left, and these soldiers have become frightened. They no longer have any fighting will. These people are not enough to fight a battle. General Aritomo Yamagata was determined to retreat to Japan, but retreat was not that easy. All the ships were taken to Weihai by Oyamayan, but none of the ships came back. It seems that they were all captured by the Chinese. The rest here. There were only a few small boats. He was still a little unwilling to surrender to the Chinese. He had not finally let go of the gambler's mentality, but if he continued to gamble, he would not have any capital. Just when he didn't know what to do, he received the following report: "The squadron has occupied Yingkou and their troops are splitting into two groups and heading toward Lushun and the Yalu River." After hearing the following report, General Youpeng of Shan County knew about the squadron. This was going to eat him all up. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: These Chinese people have such a huge appetite. In Weihai, they killed General Oshanyan's entire army of 25,000 men. They killed Lieutenant General Katsura Taro's third division of nearly 20,000 people near the mouth of the Liaohe River. Even Katsura Taro's whereabouts are unknown now. Now they want to kill me. Eat it too. Text Chapter 245 The Japanese want to "borrow a road" Text Chapter 245 The Japanese want to "borrow the road" Chapter 245 The Japanese want to "borrow the road" Chapter 245 The Japanese want to "borrow the road" When a friend from Shanxian County thought of this, he knew that the Japanese army had already gone where it was. The only plan was to retreat to North Korea first and then talk about it later, so he immediately issued an order for Lieutenant General Nozu Michunuki's Fifth Division to abandon the Lushun front line and urgently shrink to North Korea. The arrogant Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki also knew at this time that the third division of his partner Lieutenant General Katsura Taro had been completely destroyed. At the same time, part of the troops that supported him were also destroyed. The rabbit died and the fox was sad. He was also frightened and did not know what to do. When he was good, he received an order from Commander Youtomo of Shanxian County. He hurriedly ordered the remnants of his Sixth Division to take emergency action, drop all unnecessary things, and quickly retreat along the coast to the mouth of the Yalu River. News of the Japanese army's defeats in many places has spread among the lower-level officers and soldiers of the army. Those officers are not stupid. They know that they no longer have naval support. At the same time, they also estimate that Katsura Taro's third division may also be finished. Listen When the division commander, Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki, gave orders like this, the panicked Japanese army began to retreat towards North Korea. There were no ships left, so they had to go overland. They threw away everything that was temporarily useless, but they did not throw away the guns for six hundred miles. During the journey, they only brought some food and other supplies and left behind the cannons and so on. Lieutenant General Nozu Michinuki knew that the Chinese would not let him off easily after the bloody massacre in Port Arthur. He ordered the troops to quickly retreat to the mouth of the Yalu River at a rapid march speed, then crossed the Yalu River and entered North Korea. For three days, they were in the wind and snow. After advancing for more than three hundred miles, there was Zhuanghe. It turned out that there were two Japanese brigades with more than a thousand Japanese troops. They thought they could have a good rest when they arrived here. Zhuanghe is a small village. It turns out that after the Japanese army captured this place, Nozu Michinuki sent his troops here. He thought they would be safe when they arrived here. However, what greeted them in front was not his own Japanese troops at all, but a side waving in the wind. red s dragon flag. The fleeing Japanese vanguard stopped and immediately reported to the division commander, Commander Nozu Michinuki, that the squadron had been discovered ahead. Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki, who was on his way in a hurry, hurried to the front of the team and saw a red flag waving in the wind. He looked at his exhausted soldiers, shook his head and ordered to camp and rest on the spot. The soldiers were ordered to quickly set up the remaining tents. Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki looked at the red dragon flag fluttering in the wind in front of him. His heart was completely cold. It seemed that he would have to work hard to get over. It was impossible to fight. His troops were gone now. Any fighting will and "bushido spirit" are just nonsense. Now we have no food inside and no reinforcements outside. The soldiers can't even eat now and they still talk about fighting. After some consideration, Lieutenant General Nozu Michinuki ordered a major general, Brigade Commander Taro Tanaka, to lead several subordinates to negotiate with the squadron and ask for them to return to North Korea. Major General Taro Tanaka was a China expert and he spoke Chinese very well. This was also one of the purposes why the commander of the Nozu Dokan division sent him. The person responsible for intercepting them here was the leader of the Sixth Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Fifth Division. He was a young man named Qin Guangming. The soldiers reported to him that the Japanese army had arrived. He said to them calmly: "Okay, here we are. Let¡¯s prepare to welcome the guests and order all the troops to be on alert and beat them hard if they move.¡± But what they were waiting for was not an enemy attack but the negotiator, Japanese Major General Taro Tanaka, who came over with a white flag. and several of his entourage. He led several officers over and several soldiers came forward and blocked their way. Taro Tanaka asked the soldiers to see the squadron's top commander. The soldiers led them to the regimental headquarters. Several Japanese officers stood outside the mn. The soldiers outside the mn went in and reported that Commander Qin's order came from inside the room: "Bring them up." Several soldiers searched them and touched them from top to bottom to see that they had no weapons, and then took them Went in. Qin Guangming sat on the chair and glanced at the Japanese officers who came in. He ignored them, picked up the cup and started drinking water. Major General Taro Tanaka came forward and saluted Commander Qin Guangming. As a soldier, Commander Qin also stood up and returned the military salute to him. Commander Qin looked at the embarrassed looks of the other officers and said to several Japanese officers: "Are you here? Why are you here at our camp?" "Sir, please give us something to eat first. We are all hungry." "Then prepare them some dinner. It seems they can't even eat." I'm very surprised. This lieutenant general is so interesting. As two hostile parties, the other party has no obligation to provide food. If he would not provide food to the Chinese soldiers, he knows that we can't even eat.After preparing the meal for us, he was full of affection for the officer in front of him who was much younger than him, so he hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Commander Qin: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Several Japanese officers wolfed down the food. They have not been able to eat well for several days. Their food has been cut many times and they can only eat a little bit every day. But in order to escape, they have to march continuously every day. However, their officers can still eat more than the soldiers. . However, they were still not satisfied with the way the squadron officers ate. Qin Guangming saw what he was thinking and said to him: "Our food may not be as good as your officers' food, but the food we have as a whole army is better." They are all the same. There is no difference between officers and soldiers. I think they eat much better than your soldiers. " Only then did Taro Tanaka realize that their soldiers eat much better than our soldiers. Seeing that they had all eaten, Qin Guangming asked Taro Tanaka: "You and we are enemies. General, what's the matter with coming to our place?" Taro Tanaka immediately stood up and said to Captain Qin Guangming: "I'm here. The purpose is to borrow a road back to North Korea with your army under the orders of Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki. " Commander Qin Guangming laughed when he heard this: "Ah, so that's it. Who did you borrow the road from when you came here? What?" Tanaka Taro's face changed immediately. It seems that this person can't let us go back. He was speechless and couldn't answer. "Oh, it seems that you didn't borrow the road. You ran in by yourself, so you don't need to borrow it. Just go back by yourself." "Your army has blocked our way back. We can't go back." "Then don't go back," Captain Qin Guangming still said calmly. By this time, Taro Tanaka really had nothing to say. He just stood there blankly. The purpose of the Chinese is very clear, that is to keep them here. "Go back and tell your division commander, Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki, to put down his weapons and surrender unconditionally, otherwise we will destroy you and avenge the deaths of the Chinese people at your hands." Sure enough, the officer stood up and said seriously to Taro Tanaka: "In addition, You must protect your division commander, Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki, for me. If he dies, you must all be buried with him. You will all die here because we want to avenge the deaths of all our soldiers and civilians in Lushun City. We will not spare him. We will put this executioner on trial." After hearing what the other officer said, Tanaka Taro had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I will tell your words to our division commander when I get back." After that, he said to Qin Guangming again. He saluted and bowed before leading several of his men back. Qin Guangming immediately reported the situation to the division commander. Li Biao ordered all battle preparations to be made. If the enemy does not surrender, then they will all be killed and beaten. Not a single prisoner will be executed. Text Chapter 246 Leaving Nozu Michinuki behind Text Chapter 246: Nozu Michizuki is left behind Chapter 246: Nozu Michizuki is left behind Chapter 246: Nozu Michizuki is left behind The next day, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Regiment defended their positions and looked at each other. There was no one in the Japanese camp. Commander Qin knew that the enemy must be meeting to discuss whether to surrender, so in order to increase the psychological pressure on the enemy, he let the airship take off and let them take a look at the enemy's actions from above. The enemy fired a few rounds. Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki is convening a meeting with his officers in his tent. His officers have lost the courage to continue fighting. The current situation is that the troops are cold, hungry, morale is low, and there is insufficient weapons, heavy firepower, and no food. There is almost no way out. There is no way out if we continue fighting with the squadron. If we are facing the original Qing army, it will be easier to say something. But in front of us is that magical force: our own navy, the second army, and Katsura Taro's third army. All the troops in the division were no match for others, and they were all defeated by General Li. Even though his troops were well-equipped and well-fed, they were no match for others, let alone an army that was in such a sorry state now. Looking at the dejected and silent officers under his command, Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki knew that Japan had completely failed this time and could not fight anyway. Tanaka Ichiro has conveyed Qin Guangming's words to him intact. At first, he wanted to fight, but seeing those soldiers who had long lost the will to fight, he decided to leave the soldiers' last way of survival and continue fighting. But it was Dashanyan¡¯s fate, so it would be better to surrender earlier. He also thought about committing suicide by caesarean section, but when he saw the eyes of the officers below, he knew that these people would not let him commit suicide by caesarean section. Alas, he could not live or die this time. This time, Japan took the fate of the country as a "bet". If it lost, it would be considered as its best effort to surrender. It had no choice but to sacrifice itself to save the lives of as many Japanese soldiers as possible. The Japanese officers sat there glumly. The airships in the sky buzzed over. The soldiers above occasionally fired a string of bullets at the Japanese troops on the ground, and the artillerymen also fired from time to time. These were the sounds of gunfire. Adding more mental pressure to them, they finally made up their mind to surrender. At ten o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the Sixth Regiment saw that the Japanese army on the opposite side had lowered their Rising Sun flag and replaced it with a white flag. When they found out, they immediately reported it to the regiment commander. The regiment commander immediately said happily: "Quickly report to the division commander that those Japanese troops are going to Surrendered." The enemy on the opposite side came again. It was the same Major General Tanaka Ichiro who came yesterday. They came to the Sixth Regiment's position with a white flag. This time, on behalf of the division commander, Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki, they took down the fifth division that had just been surrendered. Commander Qin Guangming brought the regiment's flag, his saber and pistol and said to them: "Order all your troops to put down their weapons and gather outside the camp with bare hands." The major general said to Commander Qin: "Please help us. Soldiers, please prepare some food. Our soldiers have not had anything to eat for more than a day." "Don't worry, there will be food ready for you when you gather with your bare hands." Those Japanese officers went back. Soon after the return, the Japanese troops on the opposite side began to gather in front of their camp with bare hands. Commander Qin immediately ordered the surrender and prepared breakfast for them. Some reporters who came after hearing the news hurriedly took pictures of these precious scenes. The once arrogant Japanese invaders finally surrendered to us. Li Biao immediately contacted Li Zhenhua in Dongying via telegram and said that the commander of the Japanese Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki, had surrendered to us. What should we do? After receiving a telegram from Li Biao of the Fifth Division, Li Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief. The war in Liaoning was coming to an end. He immediately sent a telegram back to Li Biao: 1. Leave the Sixth Regiment in Zhuanghe to deal with Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki's troops and let the Japanese take prisoners in Zhuanghe. On standby, Dongying sent a ship to take them to Dongying's prisoner camp II. Other troops quickly entered North Korea and tried to eliminate Shanxian Youpeng's troops in North Korea and prevent them from returning home. 3. Nozu Michizuki must be tried after he is alive. Li Zhenhua called Shang Hai again. He said to Shang Hai: "This time you will be dispatched again. This time you will go to North Korea. This time the target person is the commander of the Japanese First Army, General Aritomo Yamagata. After you arrive in North Korea, Don't rush to catch him. You have to wait until he escapes. It's relatively safe for you. After catching him, you can use him to deal with the Japanese. Then you ask the Navy to arrange for you to go to the Japanese army in Tokyo. The specific mission will be mine. Staff officer Bian Xiaolong is responsible for explaining to you that you can use General Youpeng from Shanxian County, but if the situation is urgent, you can also kill him and not let him affect your final mission." Shang Hai said to Li Zhenhua: "Please rest assured, chief, that we will complete the mission. " Li Zhenhua then said to him: "You have to go safely and come back safely at the same time.More than a hundred people are the eyes of our army. We cannot fight head-on with the enemy. We must use our brains when encountering problems and must not act recklessly. " "I remember the chief's words. If we go there with the same people, we will definitely still be the same people when we come back. " "Okay, I wish you a smooth journey to Tokyo and everything will be arranged for you. " Shang Hai saluted Li Zhenhua and went back to prepare. After receiving Li Zhenhua's order, Li Biao immediately sent a telegram to Liu Kunyi to inform him that there were no more Japanese troops in China and asked him to quickly dispatch troops to garrison the border. His troops were about to march into North Korea. Li Biao then immediately held a meeting with his officers. The theme was how to completely and completely eliminate the Japanese troops in Korea as soon as possible. The situation was put here. The officers all had the same idea, which was to attack North Korea and eliminate all the Japanese troops. So Li Biao first asked Chief of Staff Feng Guozhang to analyze the situation of the Japanese army. They currently have about 6,000 or 7,000 combat-ready troops. We used to have a division of more than 10,000 people. In terms of numbers, we already have a complete advantage. The Japanese army has now become a frightened bird. After our troops pass over, we must rush into the enemy's command system as quickly as possible to make them disperse. The specific first step is to enter North Korea with cavalry as the main force. The second step is to organize the captured enemy horses and select warriors who can ride horses from the entire division to form a second-line cavalry force to attack the enemy. The third step is to transport the infantry into North Korea in our cars and march south quickly to fight them to the seaside. Li Biao. He said to everyone: "Our generals often say that strategically, we must despise the enemy and tactically pay attention to the enemy. Although the enemy is already frightened in Pyongyang, they have not been completely defeated by us. We must use clever strategies to defeat them." With the division's cavalry battalion as the first echelon, you must all put on Japanese uniforms and enter Pyongyang to fight their deployment. To force them to withdraw from Pyongyang, we will not engage in street fighting with them and blast them out of the city. We will destroy them outside." Text Chapter 247: Mind Attack Tactics Text Chapter 247 Heart-Attack Tactics Chapter 247 Heart-Attack Tactics Chapter 247 Heart-Attack Tactics Li Biao continued: "The newly formed cavalry battalion of the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Regiments will be used as the second echelon and then enter Pyongyang to expand the results. , fight.) Responsible for The person is the newly appointed regiment commander Zhang Zuolin. "Zhang Zuolin himself can show his familiarity with the situation in Korea during the battle, and he is the best candidate to organize the cavalry this time. But a battalion commander is afraid that he will not be able to convince the crowd. Then let him be the leader. Of course, Li Zhenhua's influence is also involved. "Except for part of the mn vehicles of the Logistics Department, all the cars were used to transport the soldiers and move forward quickly." "Other units were transformed into logistics units to carry out logistics work and be responsible for transporting military supplies into North Korea." For a time, the entire command headquarters stood up and became a The assault troops all jumped up happily, but the troops who became the logistics troops started to make a fuss. Li Biao slammed the table angrily and shouted: "What are you calling me for? I am also a logistics soldier now. Don't I want to quit? We must do this in order to win. If anyone calls me again, let him be a logistics soldier forever." Officers It stopped immediately. No one was afraid that the division commander would let him serve as a logistics force in the future. They all went to prepare immediately. After receiving Li Biao's telegram, the commander-in-chief of the Liaoning front line and the governor of Liangjiang, Liu Kun, was shocked. Is this a war or a joke? Why are they about to march into North Korea again in just a few days? But in Li Biao's telegram, he discovered a problem, that is, Li Biao The troops also suffered heavy casualties, and their number was getting smaller and smaller. He only led a few thousand people and was about to go to North Korea, so he sent another eight hundred miles to the capital in a hurry. At the same time, Liu Kunyi ordered his 100,000 troops to move forward to the Yalu River to cooperate with Li Zhenhua's "security" troops in marching against North Korea. At the same time, a large number of prisoners must be guarded and managed. Liu Kunyi also asked some relevant people to manage the Japanese prisoners. He was afraid that his actions would dissatisfy Li Zhenhua. He contacted Li Zhenhua many times to inquire about the management methods of the prisoners. There is also a festive scene in the Qing government in Beijing. It turned out that the rapid advance of the Japanese army panicked the Qing government. Now the victories of Li Zhenhua's militia have made them unable to adapt to the fact that this prince-in-law is too good at fighting. The Japanese troops were driven out of the country in just a few days. This is really unbelievable. But the more than 10,000 prisoners of war in Dongying and Yingkou need to eat. Liu Kunyi and Li Zhenhua have already begun to ask for food from above. This is inevitable. To make you believe that we have actually won the war, all the Japanese have rushed from their own territory to North Korea. This time the Queen Mother had to face up to this problem. Emperor Guangxu was already so happy that his feet were no longer in his shoes. All the ministers were also happy every day. Only the Queen Mother and Weng Tonghe were not happy. The Queen Mother was afraid that her husband-in-law would be disobedient in the future. Tonghe was afraid that Li Zhenhua would become a celebrity of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, which would be detrimental to him. He kept telling the Queen Mother Cixi that Li Zhenhua could not be reused. The Queen Mother has been very annoyed these days. She can't be happy when she sees anything. She always has a sad look on her face. On this day, she saw the car Li Zhenhua gave her again and the female drivers who gave it to her. Still wearing the same new style of clothing, the Queen Mother once hinted to her to change her clothes into a cheongsam, but the female drivers said: "People who drive cars are not allowed to wear cheongsam. For the Queen Mother's safety, she must wear such work clothes no matter what." The Queen Mother couldn't help it at first glance. How could she drive that car if she wore a pair of shoes with flower pot bottoms in her clothes? How can I protect myself? Just rely on my pair of flowerpot-bottomed shoes. If so, I would be really unsafe. The Queen Mother walked around the car for a while. To be honest, she still liked the car very much. I heard that even the Queen's car in the richest country in the world, the United Kingdom, is not as good as her own car, although the car is not inlaid with any gems or gold. But its speed is so fast that no one on horseback can catch up with it. The glass on its windows is a finger thick, let alone a bow and arrow, and it can't be broken by a gun. So its safety is also number one. Isn¡¯t it nonsense that the girl who drives the car likes everything except not wearing a cheongsam to make her unhappy? The agents trained by mn of the intelligence department are all top-notch people, okay? Let alone the Queen Mother, even the eunuchs and palace maids all say good things about her. After a period of consideration, the Queen Mother finally decided to summon some relatives and ministers whom she trusted and asked them to come up with an idea. Prince Qing, Prince Duan, Prince Gong, and others like Xu Gengshen, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhideng, Liu Kunyi, Sun Yuwen, etc. asked them to come up with an idea on how to use this forehead consort in the future. Li Zhenhua ordered Deng Shichang to gather four of his warships to Shimonoseki (now Shimonoseki) in Japan to bombard the military targets there. However, there was one thing: a building there called Fan Tower must be used with cannons.??It destroys so completely that nothing remains. Then he used a brigade from Li Biao's department to occupy the place and make it become our place in the future. Let the navy occupy Iki Island at the same time so that they can become a springboard for entering Japan in the future. Wang Gang of Tsushima Island will send a regiment to occupy it. China and North Korea are separated by a river. There is currently no bridge on the river. The water near the river mouth has frozen, but its upper reaches have frozen solid. The troops of the Fifth Division did not consider building a pontoon bridge. They walked upstream for a while and found a convenient place. The troops of more than 10,000 people passed smoothly from the Yalu River. As the frontline cavalry, they quickly arrived at the front line in Pyongyang. Since Zhang Zuolin is the regiment commander, he has the final say on the matters ahead. If a regiment of cavalry wants to do what the remnants of Shanxian Youpeng want, that is not possible. But as a For a veteran Zhang Zuolin, he naturally has his own routine. He first walked around the city of Pyongyang and saw the Japanese guards on the city wall. The future "King of the Northeast" turned his attention and immediately called several battalion commanders together and began to assign tasks to them. After speaking generally, the troops began to take action. He immediately reported his action plan to the division commander Li Biao and the chief of staff. Upon hearing this, they also felt that the plan of the cavalry regiment leader Zhang Zuolin was feasible, so they ordered the troops to cooperate with his paratrooper operations. He first found a few prisoners who behaved more smoothly and asked them to lead the way to the city of Pyongyang. A battalion of cavalry wearing Japanese military uniforms entered the city. As soon as they entered the city, they went around talking and distributed a large number of Japanese leaflets about China. The large force has arrived. Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki and Lieutenant General Katsura Taro have surrendered to the Chinese. They are about to fight over. The entire Japanese army is in panic. The squadron's airship has also appeared in their sky and dropped Japanese leaflets to them. They began to publicize their great victories in Weihai and the mouth of the Liaohe River to the Japanese army. They also said that Lieutenant General Katsura Taro and Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki had informed the squadron. After surrendering, ask those Japanese soldiers to immediately lay down their weapons and surrender, so that they can return to the country and so on. The cavalrymen began to run towards Nancheng mn in Pyongyang again. They wanted to leave the city, but the Japanese troops guarding the city refused to allow the city to open. One of their lieutenant commanders immediately issued an order to tie up the squadron leader who was guarding the city. He also tied up some of the guarding soldiers who were unwilling to open the city. Tied up. So part of the Japanese army ran away, and then another group of them always ran south in groups of ten or eight. Later, those Japanese soldiers saw that they couldn't stand it anymore. Someone was already running in front. What are you still waiting for here? Squadron Are you still here waiting to die? So some real Japanese troops also began to run away. The cavalry of the Fifth Division were setting fire and shooting in the city. The Japanese troops were on tenterhooks all day long. They were so frightened that they finally began to flee under the Fifth Division's mind-attack tactics. The cavalry set up a blocking line more than ten miles south of the city and fought with the Japanese troops who rushed out. Text Chapter 248 Zhi Qinshan has friends Text Chapter 248 There are friends in Zhiqinshan County Chapter 248 There are friends in Zhiqinshan County Chapter 248 There are friends in Zhiqinshan County The Japanese soldiers in the city heard the fierce gunfire from the south and thought that their retreat had been completely blocked. The Japanese soldiers At first, only a few people ran out, but later more Japanese troops rushed out of the city. Seeing the squadron's not-very-secret blockade, the Japanese troops began to attack the squadron's position. The squadron did not set up troops among us. They just asked soldiers on both sides of the road to attack the escaping Japanese troops. And their attack address is still some distance away from the main road. Zhang Zuolin looks like a rough man on the surface, but in fact he is very thoughtful. He knows that if the Japanese army is blocked, they will fight tooth and nail, and his casualties will be huge. But if he does not have troops on the road, then they will He will not take the initiative to attack himself, just rush out of the encirclement, so that he can achieve the purpose of killing the Japanese army, but he will not casualty many soldiers. Zhang Zuolin, who had worked hard in the old army for many years, knew very well about preserving his strength. When the Japanese army saw that there were gaps in their defense, they quickly broke through the squadron's blockade and began to escape southward after suffering some blows. A small force of more than 100 people is marching eastward from Asan. It can be seen from the equipment that this is Shang Hai's team. They have been marching for two days and now they have reached the only way for the Japanese army to retreat to the southern seaside. They sat on the roadside to rest. Some of them were wearing clothes. Some of the Japanese troops were wearing M color uniforms. Some Japanese troops passed by not far from them. They did not launch an attack on them. They waited for the big Yushan County General Youpeng. According to the intelligence personnel here, the Shanxian County Youpeng General is still in Pyongyang. . Chapter d) Shang Hai¡¯s telescope has been staring at the direction of the retreating Japanese army in the north. They asked some Japanese deserters and they all said that General Shanxian was still behind, so he relaxed and waited patiently for their appearance here. . The soldiers were taking a rest while eating. Their dry food included fried noodles, canned pork belly, and beef jerky. Especially those cans that contained braised pork tenderloin, braised beef tenderloin, and some vegetables. Light the fire and heat it up completely before eating. Just one side. There were several people on guard duty. Shang Hai also started to rest. He looked at the soldiers and saw that everyone was not very tired, especially the soldiers who had rested, and seemed to be fine. He felt relieved. After so many years of hard training, the physical fitness of the soldiers is quite good, and their personal combat skills are also very outstanding. Some of them can't advance at all, and some of them have a very high level of Japanese. Not only the language of civilians, but also Japanese nobles. They also speak the special language very well. At this time, a soldier on sentry duty came to report to Shang Hai: "The captain has arrived with another batch of big fish." Shang Hai looked into the distance and saw a larger group of retreating Japanese soldiers appearing in the distance. From a distance, it seemed that there were several general-level officers among them. Shang Hai immediately used his binoculars to look into the distance. The enemy was getting closer and closer. He saw that there were several officers who were really generals. Among them was an older, A gray-haired officer, but that person did not have a military rank. Shang Hai made up his mind in his heart, regardless of whether this group of generals was worth taking action. Shang Hai ordered everyone to line up on the roadside. All bullets were loaded and ready for battle. He stood at the front of the team. The Japanese soldiers were stunned for a moment when they saw them, but when they saw that they were all in Japanese uniforms, they started to move forward again. When they got close, the others stopped. A major officer ran over and asked Shang Hai: "Which unit are you from? Why are you here?" "We are the 1st Division of the Imperial Japanese Army and the 7th Battalion of the Palace Guards." It's Colonel Saburo Saito," Naomi replied proudly. The officer immediately said: "I'm sorry, sir. I am the staff officer of General Youtomo of Shanxian County. Our commander is right there. Please come over." "Lead the way. I want to see your Excellency the commander." Shang Hai said. "Please." The major made a gesture of invitation and walked towards the back. The major led Shang Hai to the older officer. He reported to the officer: "His Excellency, the commander has brought you." Shang Hai knew that this man was General Youpeng of Shanxian County, and he had already memorized his photo. However, the general Yamagata Aritomo in front of him was different from the one in the photo. He was thin and his spirit was much worse. He took a step forward and reported to General Aritomo Yamagata: "Your Excellency, Commander, I am Colonel Saburo Saito, captain of the 7th Battalion of the Palace Guards of the First Division of the Empire of Japan. I am here to take you back to the country in accordance with the order of the cabinet." After that, he started from himself. He took out a document from his military satchel and handed it to General Yamagata Aritomo. Yamagata Aritomo took the document and read it. After reading it, he sighed and said to Shokai: "Saito-kun's cabinet means that II understand, but I am ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor. How can I abandon my soldiers? " "Your Excellency, Commander, His Majesty the Emperor, the cabinet, and the people and soldiers of Japan are all looking forward to your early return. You are the spiritual strength of the empire. Please don't delay. We will protect you immediately. We will protect you in Busan. Our warships are waiting for you, Your Majesty the Emperor. I also look forward to seeing you soon. General Yamagata Aritomo was very moved after hearing what Nao Hai said, so he decided to go with Saito. Nao Hai asked the other troops to turn east, where there was a ship waiting for them, and asked them to board the ship from Gangling in North Korea and hide. After passing the blockade of the Qing Dynasty and returning home, Shang Hai and his party had to go all the way south to Busan in North Korea, where there were warships waiting for them. Sang Hai said to Shanxian Youpeng: "Your Excellency, Commander, those officers are the guards who can go with us. Don't go so many. The warship can't accommodate so many people. Just let them go with a dozen people. " As soon as Yamaxian heard what Saito said was right, the guards didn't want to go so many. He just took a few dozen people and a group of senior officers and they kept going south. The other troops kept going. Heading east. Colonel Saito was very careful and asked his subordinates to put up a sign on the roadside that read in Japanese: "All Japanese troops go east from here to Gangneung to board the ship and return home." "The words "Military Headquarters Order" were also written on the back. At that time, an officer said: "Wouldn't this mean that the Chinese can also pursue eastward? Shang Hai replied: "It's okay. We wrote this in Japanese. Those Chinese people don't understand Japanese." Besides, we must do this in order to protect the Commander, otherwise we will be overtaken by those squadrons. "It was over in one sentence. After a large number of Japanese troops arrived here, they turned around and headed east. Of course, the chasing cavalry soldiers naturally had their own intelligence personnel to provide information about the enemy. They naturally had to divide into two parts to pursue the east. There won't be any ships waiting for the Japanese army. If the Japanese army has no logistical supplies and no food, will they become prisoners of the Fifth Division? Similarly, the Japanese army going south will be "escorted" by Shang Hai. That group of Japanese officers went directly to Busan, where two warships flying the British flag were already waiting for them. As soon as they arrived on the warship, the guards were disarmed and escorted. The bottom warehouse below was very wide. More than a hundred Japanese prisoners were locked up. Only some senior generals could stay in the cabins above. There was also a submarine behind the warship. They sailed towards Japan, first passing Tsushima Island, and then passing between Kyushu Island and Honshu. In Kitakyushu, several intelligence officers who had already been in Japan boarded the warship. They stopped moving and were escorted by submarines. They continued eastward and then northward directly to Tokyo. Text Chapter 249 Bombardment of Maguan Text Chapter 249 Bombardment of Maguan Chapter 249 Bombardment of Maguan Chapter 249 Bombardment of Maguan One day later, several warships of the city defense navy outside Maguan had arrived at the flagship "Huashan", "Songshan", and " "Tianshan", "Huangshan", and "Dongshan" all arrived. Deng Shichang led them to the offshore area of ????Shimaguan. The intelligence personnel had obtained a map. The map clearly marked the Japanese defense situation here. They immediately started In accordance with Li Zhenhua's order, preparations for shelling the Japanese troops, police and all armed personnel in Maguan began. At this time, Shimonoseki in Japan was still a peaceful scene. The Japanese people were different from usual except that their lives were more difficult. Although Japan declared war with the Qing Dynasty in August last year, because the war had been carried out in Korea and the Qing Dynasty, they were all different. The news I got is that Japan has achieved great victory. The Japanese army has entered the Qing Dynasty and is teaching those "braided soldiers" of the Qing Dynasty. I haven't seen any Japanese warships for a long time recently. They thought those warships were fighting at the front and had not returned. Now there are several huge warships on the sea. No one has any other ideas. They just thought some of them were friendly to Japan. country has arrived. Because there are no obvious flags flying on the warships. Those Japanese people are still going about their daily work as usual. Suddenly someone discovered that a red dragon flag was hung on those warships. Isn¡¯t that the dragon of the Qing people? What are they doing here? Did we catch it? Or are they coming to surrender? Soon they had the answer. They were here to fight. A red flame appeared at the huge muzzle in the distance. Then the Japanese felt something like an earthquake. The earth was shaking, and the houses were burning. Smoke and dust followed. The wind floats. All military facilities were attacked by the huge artillery fire from the warships. The Japanese coastal defense artillery just wanted to defend, but was immediately destroyed by the cannon of the city defense navy. The Chinese ships were originally in the blind spot of Japanese shore artillery. They couldn't hit those Chinese warships at all, and their cannons didn't have such a long range. Now they only had to take a beating. dSoon Maguan was already in the fire. At that time, most of the Japanese houses were made of wood. Under the bombardment of their artillery, all the wooden houses in Shimonoseki began to burn. Many Japanese soldiers and policemen died. Only the "Sail Tower" was a civilian building. Several fires destroyed it. The shells hit there and leveled it to the ground (a deep pit). One day later, the army began to land. They completely occupied the place without encountering any strong resistance. The fire in Shimonoseki burned for three days before it stopped. It was already in ruins. "Dongshan" Captain Ma Jifen didn't understand this. They were all civilians. We don't have to do this. Liu Hai said to him: "If we treat others, we might not do this. But we have to do this to them. Have you forgotten what they did in Lushun?" Sa Zhenbing said: "Those Japanese soldiers did all kinds of evil in our country, but their citizens have not experienced any impact of the war. That¡¯s too cheap for them. Let them pay for the taste of war.¡± Ma Jifen also thought of their failure to leave any survivors of the Beiyang navy brothers who fell into the water, and the massacre of their own Lushun military port. This made Ma Jifen also think about it. Some new ideas arose about this nation. Under the arrangement of intelligence personnel, some celebrities from Shimonoseki appeared. They asked for negotiations with the Chinese. This was because of some actions of the armies of both sides during the war. It was hard to say who was right and who was right. Anyway, they They don't want their homeland to be affected by war. The Chinese received them very kindly and apologized for the losses they suffered. Our actions were directed at the Japanese army, but it is inevitable that some Japanese were affected by the war, but we must give full support to the Japanese who are willing to cooperate with us. Protect, but for those who are hostile to us, we must eliminate them all. The Japanese expressed their understanding of the behavior of the Chinese and were willing to use this area as a demilitarized zone to prevent the Japanese people from causing trouble to the army. They were willing to get help from the Chinese. Life for most families is already very difficult now. Coupled with the ravages of the Chinese warship's cannons, life will be even more difficult. ¡°Seeing that the Chinese people are relatively friendly and willing to help the Japanese build their own homes as soon as possible, then just listen to them. So the two sides jointly made a treaty and as long as the Japanese obey the management, we will help you, but the premise is that you will obey our commands and help us in the future, and we will help you. A large number of merchant ships brought a large amount of food and building materials and re-established permanent coastal defense artillery fortifications. In addition, many fortifications were built in other directions towards Japan. If we want to garrison here for a long time, we must make preparations.The purpose is to let the Japanese know that their navy and army are finished. Is there a war? There are no dead Taoist friends who are not dead. That is very correct. It is not enough to kill the Chinese but not the Japanese. The war cannot be carried out only in China, but it must be carried out in Japan. A brigade of nearly 10,000 troops began to enter Japan. This is what we learned from the Japanese. We occupied this place, which is also a bargaining chip in negotiations. If you don't pay off the compensation, we won't withdraw our troops. Even if you pay off, that's fine. Only if we are willing. After the fire was extinguished, the interim government supported by the squadron issued an announcement saying that this was already the occupied area of ??the squadron, and all people must obey the unified orders of the Chinese. All Japanese within a radius of several hundred square kilometers were not allowed to possess weapons, and a curfew was imposed every day. The curfew is from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. the next day. During this time, for the safety of Japanese people, no one is allowed to go out on the streets at will. If found, they will be dealt with seriously. If something unpleasant happens, no one will be held responsible. The people from the Intelligence Department mn began to assume the role of protagonists. They found some relatively famous people in the local area and formed a temporary management organization. The people entered with force, but in the future they had to slowly downplay the management. The Japanese will use the Japanese to control the Japanese and will not use the Chinese army to deal with the Japanese. This move is naturally a Japanese method learned by Li Zhenhua. Entering forcefully will definitely make the Japanese feel a little disgusted, but it will also have a strong deterrent effect. In the future, it will be natural for the Chinese to be good people, but some black faces will be done by the Japanese. In order to downplay the national Mao Dun and strengthen their dependence, you will not be able to do it without the support and help of the Chinese people in the future. The Chinese fleet also transported a batch of food to provide relief to the Japanese who lost their homes in the shelling. But the prerequisite is that you must be obedient and law-abiding. In the face of those foreign foods, a large part of the Japanese began to have a good impression of the Chinese. The Japanese government originally adopted a "policy of obscuring the people" and only instilled the idea of ??"expansion and aggression" into their citizens. Now the Chinese are announcing some facts to the people in the Shimonoseki area, such as where are the troops that invaded North Korea and China? The inhumane burning, killing, robbing, and killing of women, etc. The most hateful thing is the massacre in Lushun. Once these things were announced, many Japanese people were ashamed of their actions. Due to the war, many Chinese businessmen evacuated Japan. They are now starting to come back. They are preparing to restart commercial trade with the Japanese with the help of Chinese people. All the staff of the Intelligence Department mn who used business as a cover have been required. Instructions for exchanging gold in Japan. The price of gold in Japan is lower than the price in the international market. Now take advantage of the relief provided to Japan to collect a large amount of gold from Japan. The Chinese ship's shelling did not hurt too many Japanese civilians. Instead, they were greatly disgusted with the Japanese government's war behavior. Now the war has stopped (although the two countries have not declared an armistice, at least the Japanese side is no longer able to fight anymore. ) Japan's standing army had reached 300,000 people during the war, but its main combat divisions were six, which were the troops that went to China. Aritomo Yamagata's First Army included Lieutenant General Katsura Taro's Third Division, Lieutenant General Nozu Michizuki's Fifth Division, Oyama Iwa's Second Army, Lieutenant General Sakuma Samata's Second Division, Lieutenant General Kuroki Nosad's second division. The other two divisions of the Sixth Division are the First Division as the Meiji Emperor's guard force, and the fourth division is famous as the "Merchant Division". These two divisions cannot fight. The guard troops are made up of officials' sons and they are paid well but have poor combat effectiveness. The fourth division already knows from its name that they are not good enough. Japan has invested 100,000 troops in China and North Korea. There are still 200,000 troops. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Fourth Division. They are responsible for guarding various places and preparing to continue to enter North Korea and China. However, at this time, Russia in the north has already Entered the Hokkaido region. There are currently more than 100,000 troops there, and there are not many other local troops. After the squadron occupied Shimonoseki, they could only add some troops to the periphery, but they did not have the courage to fight the Chinese. The first-line troops If you were defeated by others with less and more, your second-line troops should not go and die. Besides, Japan's economy is now basically in a state of collapse. If you want to fight a war, you need food supplies and money. If you don't have it, don't fight. The Japanese government is now really besieging Russia internally and externally. The Japanese government¡¯s attack in Hokkaido has undoubtedly made it worse. Text Chapter 250 Shimonoseki New Deal Text Chapter 250 Shimonoseki¡¯s New Deal Chapter 250 Shimonoseki¡¯s New Deal Chapter 250 Shimonoseki¡¯s New Deal The most important issue of people¡¯s livelihood in Japan now is Mao Dun. Many Japanese people need to eat and work. If these two things cannot be met, then the people will be disappointed. However, the provisional government in the Shimonoseki area has demonstrated high work efficiency. These people are disgusted with the war, and their loyalty to Emperor Meiji has also deteriorated. Many people who are loyal to Emperor Meiji cannot come here to be a Japanese jin. You must have the consciousness of the day. The Chinese don¡¯t care about this. If you are loyal to me, you are my person and you will be protected by me. If you are not loyal to me, you are not mine and you will not be protected by me. Of course, it is not possible to use the name of the Chinese to bully people. Several people pretended to be sent by the Chinese and robbed some Japanese. After verification, they were immediately arrested without ceremony. After trial, they were made public. They "clicked", which made some Japanese admire the Chinese people's ruthlessness. They re-calculated the population and distributed some relief food according to population. First, people could eat, and then many jobs appeared, allowing the Japanese to support themselves by building fortifications, docks, and roads. Anyway, there was plenty to live on. I'm sorry if anyone can still feed their family but doesn't work. But for those who really have no one to work, there is a measure. The wages of the Chinese are very high, which is impossible in Japanese industries and enterprises. They can get two silver dollars a day, which is twice that of Japanese enterprises (but that is a quarter of the salary of Chinese workers). Some taverns, teahouses and shops appeared like mushrooms after rain, and then a large number of Chinese daily necessities entered Japan, and a large amount of funds flowed into the pockets of Chinese businessmen. A large amount of money was converted from silver into gold, which was needed in China. The management here quickly got on the right track. Some officials under the Chinese also took office. At the same time, some Japanese security patrols also appeared in the downtown area. They were all in their hands. Some of the weapons and clothing of the Japanese army are also uniform, and they are all black and slender. The weapons are the original weapons of the Japanese army. There is no problem in using them for public security. As the capital of Japan, Tokyo is a city with a long history. It was originally called Chiyoda in 1192 when it was changed to the Edo year. The Imperial Palace in Tokyo is the residence of the Emperor of Japan. It is located in the Chiyoda District in the center of Tokyo. It was founded in the 18th year of Tensho (1590 AD). ) was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. It was called Edo at that time. The remains of the Japanese Imperial Palace¡¯s castle stone walls and moats are not open to the public. In front of the palace, there is a solemn and beautiful double-hole arch iron bridge with two floors, hence the name Double Bridge. Niju Bridge is part of the Imperial Palace's outer garden and is the best place to observe the Imperial Palace. There are seven palaces in the palace with a total area of ??23,000 square meters. The green tile roof, white walls, and brown copper pillars are full of traditional Japanese architectural features. The main hall is the center of the palace. The main activities of the royal family and diplomatic etiquette activities are held in the "Song Pavilion" of the main hall. The nearby Kitanomaru Park is a good place to watch cherry blossoms in April. The Jungmn Stone Bridge and Jungmn Iron Bridge add more mystery and fascination to the Imperial Palace. The large lawn outside the palace is very grand. Only the outside of the palace can be seen here. The intelligence officers who have already been in Tokyo have already named themselves "Qianlong". They are quite familiar with the situation here and the actions of the patrol during the changing of the guard. The rules are very clear. As the leaders of this operation, Shang Hai and Bian Xiaolong, they are observing everything here with telescopes from a distance. They have to be aware of these. After careful observation, Shang Hai and Bian Xiaolong have "Qian Long" here. "The work was very satisfactory because their intelligence was very accurate. The two people combined it and took advantage of the panicked mentality of the Japanese and started taking action. As the front of the Fifth Division entered North Korea, part of Liu Kunyi's troops also deployed in the border area. The Fifth Division soon occupied all important military locations in North Korea. Liu Kunyi appointed Li Biao, who had arrived in North Korea earlier, as the top responsible person in North Korea. people. The commander of the Fifth Division, Li Biao, only met Liu Kun once and then not again. Li Zhenhua had already made plans for his future work in North Korea, which was to tell Liu Kun that his troops had already killed all the people after this battle. Only a few hundred people were left. Of his nearly 20,000 troops, 10,000 went to Shimonoseki in Japan. The rest all evaporated in North Korea. The troops of the fifth division that entered North Korea are now divided into companies and platoons. Go and develop your own troops, because the Qing army will still withdraw from North Korea in the future, but after you infiltrate your troops into North Korea, you will not be affected by them. This will be your own Annan. They first captured the king of the court, Li Shiying, who served the Japanese loyally, and imprisoned him aside. Then they released the original king Li Xi in the original palace of North Korea. Li Biao and Feng Guozhang said to him: "We are the Yunnan general of China. Li Zhenhua's troops came to rescue you according to his order. From now on, you will be under our general's control."Under protection you are safe now. " Li Xi immediately said: "I know General Li. I am willing to be under his protection forever. I want to go to China in person to express my gratitude to him and ask him to help my country become prosperous and strong. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, this country will be left to him. I am also willing to take charge. " "It's a good idea if you have it. Then let me help you become rich and powerful from now on. If you want to see General Lee, I can arrange a time for you. " "Well, I wish I could see him now, so please ask the general to arrange a trip for me immediately. " Li Biao didn't expect that he would be so eager to see Li Zhenhua and contact Li Zhenhua immediately after he came back. When King Li Xi of North Korea wanted to meet Li Zhenhua immediately, he said: "Then please ask Feng Guozhang and him to come to Shanghai as soon as possible. Formal meeting. " Soon Feng Guozhang and North Korean King Li Xi boarded the ship to Shanghai. Here he and Li Xi were to become Li Zhenhua's students respectively. The troops of the Fifth Division returned to China. Liu Kunyi came to pick them up in person. What he saw was just some Wounded soldiers, veterans, some soldiers who could not leave home, as well as some medical staff and logistics personnel, division commander Li Biao sent the soldiers across the Yalu River and handed them over to Liu Kunyi and asked him to send these people to Dongying. He said to Liu Kunyi: " My troops are all gone and I have no shame to go back to see my brother-in-law. Please ask the commander to say something to my brother-in-law on my behalf. Let me guard these soldiers who sacrificed here. Let me have time for them in the future. By adding some soil to the grave, I have done my best and will live here forever. I miss my soldiers. " As he spoke, tears shed from his eyes, which made Liu Kunyi feel very uncomfortable. He tried to persuade Li Biao to join his army or to let him be the commander of the town (division), but Li Biao declined his kindness. Liu Kunyi and several others returned to North Korea. This made Liu Kunyi sigh that Wan Duan was such a good person. He immediately reported to the court that all the more than 10,000 security guards had been eliminated, and only more than 1,000 were left. Some of the injured soldiers and logistics personnel asked the court to compensate Li Zhenhua. They also talked about Li Biao's situation and asked the court to commend him. People in the court had another debate about Li Zhenhua's recovery of North Korea. But in the end, it was. There are no more Japanese troops in their own country. This is a good thing. Some ministers are waiting for the Japanese to come and negotiate with them. Anyway, they are holding many of their prisoners as prisoners. Text Chapter 251 Negotiating Delegation to Japan Text Chapter 251 Negotiation Delegation to Japan Chapter 251 Negotiation Delegation to Japan Chapter 251 Negotiation Delegation to Japan These officials of the Qing government have not yet thought of breaking out of Asia and going global. They are just sticking to the rules as long as they are not subject to it. Bullying from other countries is enough. They do not have the concept of outward expansion like Western countries. According to the idea of ??the Queen Mother and Emperor Guangxu, after we defeat you, we can just be obedient and we don't need you to cede territory and pay compensation. All the Japanese prisoners of war have been placed in the prisoner camp here in Dongying. However, after entering the prisoner camp, Li Zhenhua carefully screened and understood them. For some such as Nozu Michinuki and others who committed countless blood debts in China, it was These people must be held in solitary confinement. No matter how much money the Japanese pay, they cannot be released. They must be beheaded to serve as a warning to others. Their identities must be made public so that they will be infamy for thousands of years. They must be stinky in China, Japan and the world at the same time. It has to stink. Those who are engaged in non-military professions are also held in solitary confinement, and each person is interviewed individually for "brainwashing" education so that they have a full understanding of the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China. If they are willing to participate in China's construction, they can be allowed to They attend work. At the same time, they were guaranteed to bring their family members to China, and they were allowed to communicate with their families in Japan so that they could understand each other's current situation. You know, the situation in Japan is very bad right now, and the lives of ordinary people are very bad. Many families in difficulty now have no food to eat. Once a few letters were sent, those people changed from their original distrust of China to a positive response. As for those who are stubbornly disobedient and hostile to the Chinese, then deal with them all. Anyway, we cannot let them go back. Those prisoners soon agreed to participate in construction in China, and most of them agreed to live in China for a long time. At the same time, some of the earliest people who wanted to see their families and their families had already arrived. They were nominally smuggled here, but in fact they secretly came to China from Japan with the help of some Chinese businessmen. The court is currently debating who should serve as the negotiator. However, there seems to be no big controversy in this discussion. First, someone proposed that the emperor was the biggest hero in the Sino-Japanese war. This proposal was unanimously adopted. Later, Some people mentioned that Li Hongzhang was not a problem because he was the one who negotiated most of the original negotiations. The third candidate was Xue Fucheng, who had just achieved great results in negotiations in the UK. But this time in the court meeting, someone raised the issue of a reward for the prince-in-law. If you don't talk about it, you can't keep pretending to be confused. Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu also agreed, but what the reward is is another question. Li Zhenhua has always been loyal to the DPRK. He didn't take the court's rewards seriously, and he looked down on some money. Even in the officialdom, there was no title. This made Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu very embarrassed. The ministers could not make any useful suggestions. The Empress Dowager Cixi felt that it would be great if Li Zhenhua was a banner man. She could give him a commander of any banner or make him a king. However, not only was he not a banner man, but he was also very indifferent to the behavior of some banner men, so she went to court. One of the petty officials made a suggestion, which was to only give Li Zhenhua a title without any real power. In fact, this was also the idea of ??most officials. Who didn't know that the Empress Dowager Cixi was particularly wary of this Li Zhenhua? So everyone agreed to this suggestion, so she knighted Li Zhenhua. The Empress Dowager Cixi thought for a moment that this person had to be replaced. Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi and others who she once thought were important ministers performed very well in the battle against the Japanese army. I'm not satisfied that only Li Zhenhua can play now. Not only can he beat other people, isn't he also a better chess player than others in terms of foreign affairs? Just look at the bureaus that are managed by others. The bureaus that were originally funded by the imperial court didn't work, but what about now? Haven¡¯t they all turned losses into profits? If such a talent doesn't pull the strings now, he will have to be turned against him. Besides, wouldn¡¯t there be no loss in giving him a title? If it weren¡¯t for his ¡°security force¡±, would these people be able to talk so comfortably here? nng If it's not good, I'll hide out again just like I did with England and France. It didn't matter that I was still young at that time, and everything was supported by Master Xianfeng. But what about now? She didn't dare to think about it anymore. He sighed in his heart and announced his retreat. There are no outsiders. After discussing with Emperor Guangxu, the mother-in-law made Li Zhenhua a second-class auxiliary prince. Yaqi Gege was also re-designated as the eldest princess of Gu Lun. Wang Xin was also named as the princess of Heshuo. Li Zhenhua and Yaqi's son were granted the title of first The daughter of Wang Xin, the captain of Qingche, was named Heshuogege, which is what most people call the princess. (The early king of the Qing Dynasty's predecessor "Houjin" (i.e. the "Great Khan") and the daughter of Beile (sometimes including unmarried daughters) were all called "Gege". There was no customization at the beginning. For example, the eldest daughter of Nurhaci, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty She was called "Dongguo Gege" and the second daughter was called "Nenzhe Gege".? After Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, in the first year of Chongde (1636), he began to imitate the Ming system and began to call the emperor's daughter "princess" and stipulated that the daughter born to the queen (i.e. the middle palace) should be called "Princess Gulun" The daughter born to the concubine and the adopted daughter of the queen are called "Princess Heshuo". The word "Ge Ge" refers specifically to the daughters of princes and nobles. For example, Huang Taiji's second daughter Maqata (born to Queen Xiaoduanwen) was first named Princess Gulun, then changed her name to "Princess Yongning" and then "Princess Wenzhuang". This shows that it is inaccurate to call the emperor's daughter "Princess" in movies and TV dramas (such as "Huanzhu Princess", "Eighteen Princess", etc.). In the 17th year of Shunzhi (1660), "Gege" was divided into five categories: 1. The daughter of the prince was called "Heshuo Gege" and the Chinese name was "Princess"; 2. The daughter of the prince and the princess was called "Princess". The Chinese name for her is "Duoluogege". Third, the daughter of Duoluobele is also called "Duoluogege" and her Chinese name is "Junjun". Fourthly, the daughter of Beizi is called "Gushangege" in Chinese. 5. The daughter of the Duke of Zhen and the Duke of Fu is called "Gege" and her Chinese name is "County Lord") When Li Zhenhua, who was in Dongying, was informed of the result, Li Zhenhua smiled bitterly. This was not the same as their Aixinjueluo family. They were getting closer and closer, so he wrote a letter to tell Yaqi and Wang Xin about the situation, but he passed on without taking it seriously. Secondly, Li Zhenhua told the court that they should add two more people. One person is Wu Tingfang, who is now Li Hongzhang's former staff. He has signed many treaties with Li Hongzhang, and the other one is Xu Shichang, who is not well-known. At this time, he was serving as Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy. He is a figure who is not well-known now. Since it was proposed by the greatest hero, it was difficult for others to object, so they just followed him. Soon the Prime Minister's Office for International Affairs sent a note to the Japanese Embassy in China asking them to negotiate. In a secret base of Japan's "Qianlong", Shang Hai, Bian Xiaolong and Huangshan, the person in charge of Qianlong, were discussing how to enter the Japanese imperial palace. They studied several plans but overturned them all. When they were anxious, suddenly They received a piece of information that tomorrow the Japanese Emperor will go outside the city to pay homage to their officers and soldiers who died in Korea and China. When Shang Hai heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, let's not discuss other plans for now. Let's study the Emperor's plan tomorrow." Travel route." Shanghai quickly drew a map based on the emperor's original travel route, looked at it, and decided to attack the emperor while he was traveling and make sure to catch him. If you control him in your own hands, then everything will be easy. The Emperor of Japan at this time was born on September 22, 52), and was the second prince of Emperor Komei. The mother is the Empress Dowager Yingzhao. But the real biological mother is Quan Danyan, Zhongneng Zhongneng¡¯s daughter named Diansh Qingzi. In the Wan Yanyuan year 0), he was designated as the crown prince and given the name Mu Ren. In December of the second year of Keio, when he was fifteen years old, he inherited the throne due to the death of his father, the Emperor. The execution ceremony will be held on January 9 of the following year. Encouraged by the elements, the imperial restoration was resolutely implemented on December 9. In July of the fourth year of Keio, Edo was renamed Tokyo. The enthronement ceremony was held on August 27, and the reign name was changed to Meiji on September 8. From then on people called him Emperor Meiji. In October of the same year, Emperor Meiji arrived in Tokyo to rule. In December, Emperor Meiji returned to Kyoto to hold a wedding ceremony with Miko Ichijo (Empress Dowager Shoken). In Meiji 29) Emperor Meiji arrived in Tokyo again and designated Tokyo as the capital to win over people. Then, under the promotion of the Meiji government, unprecedented major reforms were launched one after another, such as the return of feudal lords, the abolition of feudal systems and the establishment of prefectures, and the formulation of military conscription orders. Among them, the one most related to the status of the emperor is the formulation of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan. The Meiji government formulated the Constitution of the Empire of Japan (Meiji Constitution) in 9 AD (Meiji 22). This is the first modern written constitution in East Asia. It is an imperial constitution modeled on the Prussian Constitution. Article 1 of the Meiji Constitution stipulates: "The Empire of Japan is ruled by the Emperor of the eternal line." The Meiji Constitution is based on the principle of emperor's sovereignty, and the emperor has overall legislative, judicial, and administrative power. In addition, the official structure of the administrative ministries, the command of the army and navy, the declaration of war, the conclusion of treaties, etc. all belong to the power of the emperor. From then on, the emperor transformed into a sacred and inviolable "god". At 0:43 a.m. on July 30, Meiji 45 (1912), Emperor Meiji died of niotoxicosis at the age of 61 (imaginary age). His life can be said to be synonymous with the birth of Japan's modern nation. Emperor Meiji is the most special emperor among Japanese emperors. Before him, female emperors could ascend the throne openly. In ancient Japan, there were six female emperors. Japan's era names were modeled after China's system. As long as there are auspicious signs and other factors, an emperor can allow the change of multiple era names. But since Emperor Meiji, an emperor can only have one reign title. Therefore, the title of the emperor can also be replaced by the era name, such as Emperor Meiji, Emperor Taisho, Emperor Showa, etc. In the past, the power of the emperor fell either in the hands of local wealthy families or relatives and nobles, or in the hands of the samurai family regime. It can be said that the emperor was just a puppet until the Meiji period.?He has all the power in one person. The Imperial Household Code is the basic law of the Imperial Household system enacted under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan in the 9th year of Meiji (Meiji 22). Under the Meiji Constitution, the imperial model is equivalent to general law and the constitution is the highest law. The current Imperial Household Code was revised at the same time as the Japanese Constitution was enacted and implemented as law. The biggest difference from the old model is that royal inheritance is limited to direct descendants (born by the first wife) and does not recognize concubines (born by other than the first wife). However, Emperor Meiji and Emperor Taisho were both concubines. This change comes out of respect for the institution of marriage. Secondly, the current model recognizes the crown princess of a commoner family. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the crown princess had to be selected from the royal family and the three noble families. Before the Edo period, Japan could allow the existence of female emperors. However, the royal family model after the Meiji period stipulated that only men of the male line could inherit the throne. Text Chapter 252 Controlling the Emperor of Japan Text Chapter 252 Controlling the Emperor of Japan Chapter 252 Controlling the Emperor of Japan Chapter 252 Controlling the Emperor of Japan Although the senior figures in Japan have not received news from China and North Korea in recent days, they know that this time they have completely Japan's "gamble" has been lost since the day the Japanese Combined Fleet was defeated. Although the two Chinese generals Oyama Iwa and Yamagata Aritomo continued to fight desperately, failure was already a matter of time. It's just that I don't know about these situations below. Emperor Meiji knew very well that he hid in his palace for several days without seeing him. Based on the original intelligence, his subordinates speculated that there would be absolutely no problem in defeating the Qing Dynasty. Later, after Li Zhenhua's incident against France in the south, they It is not that the General Staff Headquarters has not studied China's national conditions, but because the intelligence said that the prince-in-law is a person who only cares about money and sex, I didn't expect that he was the real enemy of the Japanese. If it hadn't been for him, the Japanese would not have been defeated so miserably. Bar. But they thought there was no problem in bribing him. As a result, he was successfully bribed. It was just that the bribery was too smooth. On the day of the naval battle, he almost wiped out all his intelligence network in the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, he was dispatched to hide. The warships that had been rising for a long time completely annihilated Japan's combined fleet. At this time, Japan's war with China was imminent and had to be launched, because at the same time, the war against the Qing Dynasty in Korea had also begun. However, if they were wise, they could still remedy the situation by not crossing the Yalu River. However, those war madmen in the military wanted to support war with war. They did not consider this at all and blindly attacked China. As a result, the Japanese provided Li Zhenhua with the entire North Korea. Chance. They also fought very well at the beginning, provided some materials needed for the war, and successfully captured some strategic places in China such as Anton, Lushun, Yingkou and other places. However, starting from the battle against Weihai, the situation of the army deteriorated. It started to take a turn for the worse, and now there is no news from General Yamaxian Yutomo and General Oyamayan. Now that they have won, the Chinese have already called. They have occupied Shimonoseki. Some people say they want to take it back, but Emperor Meiji knows that those people will not come to Japan if they are not absolutely sure. Now that they are here, they are sure. If you can't defeat them, then let's talk about which army in the country has combat effectiveness? On this day, he was in distress. A guard came to report that the Japanese military had come and asked to see the emperor. He said that he would ask the emperor to go outside the city to pay homage to the soldiers who died in Korea and China. The emperor thought that this matter would have to be done sooner or later. Just go for a while and also go to the countryside to relax. The environment here is too stuffy, so he did not meet with the military people and just told them that he would go out with them the next day. But what he didn't expect was that the news had already been revealed. After breakfast the next day, the emperor was ready as before and set off with his guards. However, he left the palace and did not go far. There were many people in front of him who wanted to see the emperor. They shouted the slogan "No war" and the guards immediately They drove them away, but the common people refused to retreat and insisted on seeing the emperor and even clashed with the guards. At this time, many people shouted: "Long live the Emperor" and rushed in front of Emperor Meiji's carriage to protect Emperor Meiji. The situation was very serious. The people who were protecting Emperor Meiji turned the Emperor's carriage around and walked back to the palace. After crossing the double-decker iron bridge, the guards standing guard refused to let the common people in, but they pushed the guards aside and continued to rush inside with the carriage of Emperor Meiji in their arms. At this time, if anyone is at a high place, they will definitely see such a scene. That is a group of people wearing ordinary people's clothes tightly surrounding Emperor Meiji's carriage, and the guards have already circled outside and arrived at the inner palace mn One of the common people in front of him jumped on the carriage and shouted to the people around him: "Everyone should be quiet from now on. The Emperor is under my protection. No one should move. Everything should obey my command." A guard was about to pull out his gun. A person next to him immediately shot him. The person standing on the carriage also fired a shot into the sky. He then shouted: "Did you see anyone who touches him? It will be your fate." A guard immediately asked : "Who are you?" "Who are you? Can't you tell? We are the middlemen." The guards were immediately stunned. They did not dare to shoot casually, not if the emperor was injured. The people standing in the car said to Emperor Meiji: "It's up to you. If you cooperate with us, we don't have any ill intentions. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being unkind. Okay, let's get off. "Let's go inside and talk." Several people accompanied Emperor Meiji inside. The remaining people stood in front of the mn with weapons in hand. After a while, a steward of the inner palace came out. Next to him stood the Chinese who was in the car just now. People are in charge of those who are still standing in front of mnThey said: "According to the emperor's decree, the emperor has appointed this Chinese general as the commander of the Imperial Guard. You all go back and say that you must obey his command." Nao Hai, who was standing there, immediately ordered in Japanese: "Everyone assemble." The original palace guards came to gather immediately. Shang Hai stood there looking at his watch. After a while, the guards finished gathering. An officer reported to him: "Everyone has gathered, please give me a lecture, sir." Shang Hai stood there and said to the guards below: "Okay, your gathering. It's very fast. Let me tell you that from now on, I will be your supreme commander. If anyone disobeys the order, I will strictly enforce discipline. Secondly, if anyone wants to destroy the peace here, I will kill him. Thirdly. What I want to tell you is that your Generals Oyama Iwa and Yamagata Aritomo are now in our hands. The 60,000 soldiers you entered into Korea and China are now in my hands 30,000 from your gaze. I find that some people don¡¯t believe it. Well, in fifteen minutes I will let you see your General Shanxian Youpeng." Shang Hai said to a soldier beside him: "Go to the mn to greet His Excellency General Shanxian Youpeng. "The soldier led a few people and ran towards the entrance of the big gate. When they arrived in front of the gate, he raised a small red flag in his hand and waved it a few times in the distance. Two carriages in the distance immediately rushed towards the gate. After a while, they arrived in front of the gate. The carriage stopped. The person who got off the carriage in front of him was none other than the commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force, Commander of the First Army, Yamagata Aritomo. The gold star on his military rank was still shining like that, but the person did not have the same look as before. His whole person looked like It was the two Chinese soldiers next to him who were more than ten years old who half pushed and half fought him into the courtyard of the Meiji Imperial Palace. Text Chapter 253 Japan faces economic collapse Text Chapter 253: Japan Facing Economic Collapse Chapter 253: Japan Facing Economic Collapse Chapter 253: Japan Facing Economic Collapse Those guards all saw that what this person said was true. They actually captured the general on the battlefield. So others The people must be real. You must know that the troops beside the general on the battlefield are tens of thousands or twenty thousand, no less than those in the palace here, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than the soldiers here. It seems that our holy war has completely failed. Now even Emperor Meiji is under control. If you don't listen to them, what else can you do? All the guardsmen are honest and now they can only listen to them. In the inner room of the palace, Xiaolong and Shang Hai were talking to Emperor Meiji. Shang Hai told the emperor about the war in Korea and China and told him that all the more than 60,000 Japanese elite troops heading to China had been cleared away. The two generals, Aritomo Yamagata and Oyama Iwa, have now become prisoners of the squadron. There is no way ahead of him. Stop thinking about using foreigners to mediate. Your behind-the-scenes supporters turned out to be British, but they are We won¡¯t fall out with you because you have no value to use anymore. Besides, the journey is tens of thousands of miles long. They didn¡¯t just come here. Besides, they also have interests in China that prevent them from taking advantage of them easily. We do it. Emperor Meiji is not a fool. He also knows that his current situation is caused by those war madmen who have repeatedly encouraged him. If he had stayed on his own island honestly, such a thing would not have happened. Now it is too late to say anything and he has to face reality. Well, the four elite divisions are gone. Only the First Division and the famous Fourth Division are left as their own security forces. And that Fourth Division is a famous business division. When it comes to business, they are all experts. It won't work if the hands are fighting. The navy that I once had high hopes for is in ruins. Now, due to years of eagerness to expand armaments, the domestic economy is facing collapse. In this "big gamble" with the national destiny as a bet, I have been completely defeated. Now I understand, but I have already It was too late, even if he couldn't get the ransom of tens of thousands of prisoners, not to mention that after defeating the Qing Dynasty in this battle, he still had to pay compensation to himself. The war had brought endless disasters to China, North Korea and Japan. At this time, he was dying consecutively. The heart is also there. Thinking of this, he said to Shang Hai: "Shang Hai, I have made a big mistake. I am sorry for the Chinese people and the Korean people, and I am also sorry for our Japanese people. Please help me and let me commit suicide." "It would be easy to die, but since I I won't let you die when I come. Our leader has long expected that you would have such thoughts. He sent me here to help you." "Help me?" "Yes. I'm here to help you." "How to help? Our economy is about to collapse. So many people want to eat, the captives have to be redeemed, and there is no money in the treasury." Bian Xiaolong laughed after hearing his words. He said: "His Majesty the Emperor, we all know about your situation. I believe we know a lot more than you do." After saying that, he took out a piece of information from his satchel and handed it to Emperor Meiji. Emperor Meiji looked at it carefully. It turned out that there were statistics on Japan's entire economic situation. It was much more detailed than he knew. Emperor Meiji's sweat dropped when he saw it. It turned out that those ministers had a lot of things. He didn't know that his country was in such a difficult situation. The last of that pile of documents was a note from the Qing government to the Japanese government. We have now unilaterally initiated a ceasefire and asked Japan to negotiate as soon as possible. If there is no negotiation, we will invade Japan. In fact, Chinese soldiers have already entered. And they have already occupied Shimon Pass. Emperor Meiji held his head with both hands. Oh my God, what should I do? There is nothing he can do now. Nao Hai tapped his fingers on the table twice and said to Emperor Meiji: "Start your cabinet meeting immediately and see if your ministers have any clever ideas." Emperor Meiji had no choice but to follow Nao Hai's suggestion and let him The ministers were notified to convene a royal meeting. Although there was a bloody battle on the front, there was a peaceful scene in Beijing. The annual festival was approaching, and the situation on the battlefield was in favor of the Qing Dynasty. Although the war was over, many people still didn't know that people were leaving the battlefield after all. It's too far away, so we are still preparing for the festival. Everything is peaceful. From cities to villages, people are preparing for the New Year. However, Dongying, which was closely related to the war, was still busy. After the victory in the war against Japan, many people were celebrating. But at this time, Li Zhenhua put down the work at hand and held a meeting of his senior cadres. The meeting was scheduled to be held in Shanghai. Over there in Fangcheng, Shanghai, Shandong ProvincePeople from all over the place came. Li Biao and Feng Guozhang also came back from North Korea. Tang Jiong came secretly from Yunnan (he is still an official of the Qing government and cannot leave his residence without an imperial edict from the emperor or the queen mother.). When gods from all walks of life, including military, economic and political aspects, gather in Shanghai, it is indispensable to greet each other. The focus of Li Zhenhua's meeting is: a summary of our principles and policies after the victory of the war against Japan in 1994. Because of the victory, everyone is indeed happy that the situation in front of them is extremely beneficial to them. However, Li Zhenhua said in his analysis of the situation: "Everyone invited you here today just to study with you our future work issues. We sent it not long ago I have told you my thoughts in everyone's notice, and today we all got together to discuss the future work. " Several people in the military are looking at Li Zhenhua with their eyes. They don't have any other ideas, that is, Li Zhenhua. Whatever you say is what you say, and I will fight wherever you say. They have become accustomed to relying on Li Zhenhua. Anyway, these are things that we do not need to use our brains to think about. If there is a war, we must use our brains. So this time they seemed to be attending the meeting as non-voting delegates. This was not the case for a group of civil servants such as Tang Jiong, Sheng Xuanhuai, Wang Xin, etc. They had certain thinking abilities. This time Li Zhenhua just wanted to listen to their opinions. The main current questions Li Zhenhua raised for everyone are: 1. How to deal with Japan; 2. How to deal with the relationship with the Qing government; 3. How to deal with international issues; 4. The future development direction and policy. Text Chapter 254 Postwar Situation Text Chapter 254 The Post-War Situation Chapter 254 The Post-War Situation Chapter 254 The Post-War Situation Regarding the issue with Japan, several military representatives believe that we must cross the sea and go directly to the Japanese mainland to fight as soon as possible. It was solved, but Tang Jiong, Sheng Xuanhuai and others disagreed. They thought that now we have to do a lot of preparations for the battle in the sea. We still don't have the troops for the battle or there are too few. Now it seems that the time is obviously premature. Baidu search (Hand-typing chapter) We should force them to negotiate on the basis of victory to obtain greater benefits through negotiation. We should really make them honest and suppress their arrogance. There will be opportunities to deal with them in the future. But in the negotiation, we must Giving ourselves ample room to deal with them in the future is also to make them surrender to themselves rather than to the Qing government. But they think that we can take this opportunity to occupy some islands in southern Japan as a way for us to use troops against Japan in the future. The springboard also serves to strengthen supervision over Japan. The issue of how to handle the relationship with the Qing government has now surfaced. Although we told them that they had exhausted their power in the battle with the Japanese, people's understanding of themselves was still unclear. But it has improved a lot of people. They are completely disappointed with those Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers. They run away as soon as they encounter the Japanese and there is no army that can fight. The people now have obviously lost confidence in the Manchu Qing government. Now we have. If we propose to overthrow the Qing government, there will definitely be a large number of people responding to it. However, we cannot be optimistic about the international situation. First of all, Russia has already sent troops to the border, so we have to guard against it. The situation is now favorable to us. The Qing government. The original army must be reorganized. They will not let them continue like this. They have two possibilities. One is to capture our army, but this possibility is not high, but this possibility is not impossible. The second possibility is that they want to use us to reorganize their army. If the second scenario occurs, it will be very beneficial to us. The total strength of the current Manchu government is about one million. If we fight with them. We are afraid of giving some foreign powers an opportunity to fight. Russia, Britain, France, etc. have always been ill-intentioned towards us. Therefore, we should take these situations into consideration. We cannot directly confront the Qing government and give foreign powers an opportunity. About. International issues are what Li Zhenhua is more worried about. On the one hand, Asia is dominated by China, Britain, and Russia. Although Britain has tried its best to support Japan, Japan has completely failed. China has become obviously stronger and has stabilized. Ranking first in Asia, this is something that Britain and Russia do not want to see. They must take action. Under the current situation, we have to guard against it. The Russian army has hundreds of thousands of troops in the northeast and northwest. They are now. They often cross the border and come to us to rob and destroy the northwest region. Some troops have already established a foothold in our territory. At the same time, the Russian army has seen that Japan has failed and has sent troops to occupy some places in Hokkaido, Japan. It should be said that in our war against Japan. Russia has taken a big advantage. Although the British have not made any big moves on the surface, they must take action. However, the British have never taken the initiative themselves. They must spend money to let other countries deal with us. This is what the British have always done. This time they are going to attack the Tibetan soldiers in our area and our guerrillas in Burma. The French also want to take some advantage, but they are only supporting Russia to confront us head-on. I'm looking for opportunities later. The Americans¡¯ approach is nothing more than the idea of ??sharing interests. As long as we expand import trade, we can take advantage of it. They have no objection to Li Zhenhua¡¯s strength because now Li Zhenhua¡¯s open foreign trade policy is also welcomed by them. ?Then there is Germany. The German Emperor Wilhelm II had a good impression of Li Zhenhua. He believed that Li Zhenhua had been very helpful to them. At the same time, Li Zhenhua's group had always had a good relationship with Germany, and they also hoped to maintain this relationship. They also saw that there will definitely be a war between China and Russia in the future, because now that the Russian army has violated the interests of the Chinese, their friend will not leave them alone. The meeting lasted from midnight to the early morning of the next day. Everyone simply ate something and took a rest before continuing the meeting. Finally, Li Zhenhua made a summary and made a preliminary arrangement for future work. Regarding Japan, the main thing is to let the Japanese abolish all previous unequal treaties with China and North Korea, let them compensate for part of their military expenses, at the same time support them in driving away the Russians, and then limit their navy and army to their politics and armaments. and effective control of all economic activities. For the southern part of Japan except ShimonosekiThose islands must drive away all their garrisons. In name, we are supervising the actions of the Japanese. After that, we have the final say whether we withdraw our troops or not. As for the Qing government, we should first solve the foreign problems and then settle the general accounts with them. If they want the army from us, I'm sorry, we have already defeated them all and let us take over the military power, then we will be rude. The main thing is to encourage them to start training the new army so that we can benefit from it. International issues require the Qing government to deal with the invading Russian army in the northwest and northeast, and then support the Japanese to deal with the Russian army in Hokkaido. If the British take action, then we will fight them back again. Other countries have nothing to threaten us. The above are all external problems. Our internal problem is to continue to grasp the economic construction without strong funds to guarantee it. It is useless to say anything and we must grasp the accumulation of funds. In terms of railways, Zhan Tianyou will complete the Beijing (Lu)-Han Railway as soon as possible and devote his energy to extending the east-west railway from Ning-Shanghai, Jinpu, Beijing-Zhangjiakou, Xuzhou to Zhengzhou and then to Xi'an and Lanzhou. Which one can be used first if conditions permit? I believe most of them The governors and governors have all realized the benefits of the railway and have completely used the method of raising funds. Anyway, most of the technical power is in our hands and we are our own. Other countries cannot enter here at all. Text Chapter 255 Miracle Doctor Text Chapter 255 Miracle Doctor Chapter 255 Miracle Doctor Chapter 255 Miracle Doctor Sheng Xuanhuai must hurry up and use all the Japanese cargo ships we captured to establish new offshore shipping companies along the Korean coast, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen and other places. At the same time, we must Carry out maritime transportation business to Japan and Korea. Select some of the better ones from the captured Japanese ships and send them to the shipping company. Once you have the ships, everything else will be easy to deal with. People can recruit domestic workers in coastal areas. Now it is relatively easy to recruit domestic workers. Isn't it often said that there is no life without business? With the promotion of business, funds and materials will become alive. Hand Dot d We will continue to increase investment in military science and technology and accelerate the pace of developing new weapons. We may not use them for the time being, but we must have strong weapons technology reserves. We must be in a leading position in the world and must not fall behind. If we fall behind, we will be beaten. The development of light machine guns, rocket launchers, radios, aircraft, etc. must be accelerated without fear of making mistakes so that scientific and technical personnel can exert their maximum energy. The meeting ended at noon. Li Zhenhua had dinner with everyone. He said to everyone: "This year we can hold small-scale festival celebrations, but we should not hold large-scale activities. We have already told the outside world that our troops have been exhausted and everyone is not in the mood to do so." What kind of celebration is this? I apologize to everyone first. When we have the capital to celebrate, I will definitely celebrate with everyone.¡± After the meeting, all the senior cadres went back and everyone took a deep breath. They must understand the boss¡¯s intentions. Carry on. Several generals in the army stayed and Li Zhenhua asked them to summarize the problems and lessons learned during the battle, command, coordinated operations, troop morale, treatment of the wounded, and the aftermath of the sacrificed soldiers, etc. In addition, they were asked to prepare to form a regiment-level unit that could fight in the desert and go to the western region for training. Several generals asked him what he meant. Li Zhenhua just smiled and did not answer. They just said: "You should prepare as soon as possible." In addition, reorganize a cavalry division. The role of cavalry in modern warfare cannot be underestimated. It is indispensable as a rapid force to convey messages. Besides, so many Japanese war horses cannot be used to lng. The captured Japanese cannons are also required. Make full use of it to form an artillery division. The ready-made artillery division commander is Duan Qirui. Feng Yingqing said to Li Zhenhua: "What should we do with the Japanese spies we captured? We can't keep raising them all the time." Li Zhenhua said to him: "Well, those people are shady people in the first place. Then let them disappear. But if they are sincerely willing to continue working for us, we can save their lives. You can let them go to Japan to work for us. But you can't relax your vigilance against them. If it doesn't work, get rid of them immediately. Our public affairs department in Japan will be directly responsible for handling their work in Japan. Don't let them have any relationship with the secret intelligence personnel currently stationed in Japan. In China, Xiao Fei will still be in charge. If any of them have significant meritorious service, they will be reused in the future. "After this war, many brave soldiers became national heroes. Some officers and soldiers of the navy made contributions in the battle. Many in the army also gained their own prestige. Even the American Ma Jifen became a hero in the hearts of the Chinese. hero. Through a large-scale search for doctors in the country, people have become very familiar with Ma Jifen. Coupled with the publicity in newspapers, Ma Jifen has become a hero in people's minds. At the same time, a large number of local medical experts also came to Dongying, and people attached great importance to his medical problems. Many expert doctors suggested that he be transferred to Shanghai or Europe for treatment. At this time, the shrapnel on Ma Jifen's head had been removed, but his condition was not good. The pain in his head was unbearable, and his eyes were swollen. Doctors estimated that his head would be affected by the wound in the future and he might become blind in the future. They suggested surgery to remove it. One of his eyeballs is currently being worked on in the hospital. At this time, a folk doctor came from Hejian Prefecture in Zhili. On the surface, he didn't have anything outstanding. He wore a cotton robe with a bag belt at the waist and a traditional old-fashioned cotton knitted jacket with a leggings strap underneath. He had his feet tied up, a pair of handmade cotton toes, and a small felt hat on the toe. He just said that his surname was Liu and he was from Hejian Prefecture. When he arrived, he had to see Ma Jifen's injury directly. The medical staff at the hospital had to lead him to Ma Jifen's house. In the ward. When he got there, he first felt Ma Jifen's pulse, then looked at Ma Jifen's eyes. After briefly asking Ma Jifen some questions, he said to the medical staff: "There is no need to remove Mr. Ma's eyeballs. Master said he would do it himself." Please give Mr. Ma Jifen a diagnosis and treatment. "At that time, many well-known doctors at home and abroad looked down upon this person with a thick eyebrow, just like Xilaile in the TV series. But it turned out that Li Zhenhua once said that we should respect the people. The medical people had no choice but to agree. That Mr. Liu said something to those who looked down upon himHe said: "This is not a serious illness. Just leave it to me. Let him follow me and I will give you a living warrior in three months." Why were the medical staff so shocked when they heard this? So many doctors couldn't guarantee that Ma Jifen would be completely restored to health. You dared to make a guarantee when you came here? This is incredible. Isn't this a miracle doctor? But he couldn't guarantee that he could cure Ma Jifen's patient. He promised to listen to others, but the hospital still asked Li Zhenhua for instructions. Li Zhenhua immediately agreed to let him take the patient away for treatment. So Ma Jifen, the deputy captain of the Beiyang Navy, put on a suit of New City Defense Army clothes and wanted to follow Mr. Liu. However, out of the protection of Ma Jifen, the hospital sent three guards and a female doctor Xiao Zhang to go with them. let's go. A fully loaded car arrived in Cangzhou after a day's travel and then walked westward for midnight before arriving at Mr. Liu's home. Mr. Liu left them in the guest room and went to the back. A few people were resting in the living room. There was a faint smell of yolk in the room. After a while, an old man with white hair and silver beard who couldn't tell how old he was came out. His beard and eyebrows were all white, but his legs and feet were very easy to walk without looking like an old man. When he came to Ma Jifen, he first said to him: "I have admired Ma Jifen for a long time and helped us Chinese people fight the Japanese. I admire you." Only then did Ma Jifen realize how popular his behavior was in this country, so he hurriedly stood up and gave a military salute to the old man and said a few words of humility to him. The old man came to Ma Jifen and said to him: " Let me feel your pulse." After closing his eyes and feeling his pulse for a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Okay, your health is fine and there is no big problem. You can just stay here for a few days and you will be fine." People were surprised by what he said, but they took it easy. People were all tired after running for a day and went to the place arranged by the old man to rest. Text Chapter 256 The Magical Silver Needle Text Chapter 256 The Magic Silver Needle Chapter 256 The Magic Silver Needle Chapter 256 The Magic Silver Needle The next morning, doctor Xiao Zhang and several soldiers got up early. The habit they developed in the military hospital made them do it every day. She was running on the road by the village and was sweating all over. When she came back, she saw the old man sneaking out early. She ran to the old man and said to him: "Grandpa, you got up early." "We are old. It's good for your health to wake up earlier if you don't have anything to do." The old man smiled at the girl and asked, "Do you get up so early every day?" "Yes, we have to come to your place every day and we have to do it by ourselves." "Ah, if something happens, we need to go to the battlefield for rescue." "Well, it would be great if our soldiers were like you. Those foreigners wouldn't dare to bully us." "How old is Grandpa?" "What?" Xiao Zhang looked at the old man and said, "You are eighty, right?" "I have good eyesight and I am already eighty-five this year." "I can't tell you are in good health." It¡¯s just a matter of exercise.¡± The old man looked at Xiao Zhang¡¯s short hair and the military uniform and said to her, ¡°It seems that you are from the army.¡± ¡°Yes, grandpa. I really envy you. If I had been born a few decades later, I would have gone to fight the Japanese invaders with you. " "Grandpa, you are also fighting the foreign ghosts now. If you help us and help our own people, you are fighting the enemy. "My good girl is really good at talking. Let's go see that foreigner, Mr. Ma." The old man walked forward, and Xiao Zhang followed him. As they talked, they walked to Ma Jifen's residence and knocked gently. After a while, mn gently asked inside: "Old Ma, are you up?" mn quickly opened his lips and appeared in front of them. Ma Jifen, who had already pursed her lips, Ma Jifen really didn't sleep well that night because of the man yesterday. The old man's words made him think about how so many doctors, both Chinese and foreign, said that his eyes could not be saved, but the old man didn't take the disease seriously at all and made it too easy, as if he had already dealt with it. Many such medical records were the same, so Ma Jifen spent the night in joy and anxiety. ?????????????? Although I haven¡¯t had any treatment yet when I woke up in the morning, I was already feeling much better. I have to say that Ma Jifen speaks Chinese very well: "Hey guys, I've already gotten up. Sleeping on this earthen kang is much more comfortable than sleeping on a warship. I feel very at ease." The old man smiled. After he came in, he looked around. He immediately said to Ma Jifen: "As long as you feel comfortable, if you have anything to do, just talk to the people below." Then the old man sat down and stretched out his hand. Ma Jifen knew that he was about to check his pulse again, so he put his hand under the old man's hand. As he sat down and stretched out his hand, the old man started to check his pulse again. This time it was over quickly. The old man said to Ma Jifen: "Your injury is nothing serious. They have taken out the shrapnel on your head. The only thing left is to heal the injury and then I will give him the pulse." You can just use acupuncture and qigong to treat it." Ma Jifen said: "I know about my injury, old man, you don't have to worry about anything. I can't handle it. You are so old, so don't worry about me. "No, I'm sure about your injury. Don't worry, I won't lie." There was still a look of disbelief in Ma Jifen's eyes. The old man knew he was right. I was doubting my own statement, so I said: "What you feel now is that your head feels a little dizzy and sometimes there is a stinging sensation. Your eyes also feel swollen and uncomfortable. Am I right?" "Yes." Ma Jifen was a little surprised that the old man knew his condition just by checking his pulse with his hands. It seemed that the old man was really careless. "Well, I will try acupuncture on you today." The old man said, greeting outside, and then went to wash his hands. His apprentices brought him a pack of silver needles. The old man said to Xiao Zhang: " "Have you ever used acupuncture before?" Xiao Zhang said to the old man: "I used to learn Chinese medicine first and then Western medicine. Now I am in charge of treating Mr. Ma in our hospital." "That's good. I'll do it first today, and next time it will be yours." As he said that, the old man began to give Ma Jifen acupuncture. Xiao Zhang understood that the old man was passing on his acupuncture skills to himself and hurriedly stood aside. Staring at the old man's hands. The old man first asked Ma Jifen to lie on his lips and relax naturally. Then he put silver on the Hegu on both hands, the Quchi on the arms, the Daconi on the back, the Xiaguan on the head, and the skull. The needle then moves back and forth over those needlesSome are pulled out and some are twisted. Others lit mugwort and smoked it. Twenty minutes after the acupuncture, I saw that Ma Jifen's head was already sweating profusely. The old man pulled out all the needles on Ma Jifen's body and inserted a few more needles into his head. Then he said to Ma Jifen: "Okay, get up. "How do you feel now?" Ma Jifen moved his body and shook his head. He said to the old man: "It's amazing that the uncomfortable feeling on my head has improved a lot after you have given it a few injections." "It's not good yet." It will take at least seven days for you to be completely cured." Xiao Zhang said, "Grandpa, are you afraid that he will have another episode?" The old man nodded and said, "People say that illnesses come and go like silk threads. This means that the disease needs to be treated slowly, and it cannot be cured all at once. The human body cannot bear it, and it needs to be cured slowly." After the old man finished speaking, he was about to go out. Xiao Zhang sent him outside the mn. Then she turned around and came back to help Ma Jifen wipe the sweat off her body and asked him to take off his underwear and put on dry clothes. She did all this like a docile little daughter-in-law, because she also admired Ma Jifen very much. Not everyone can do it for foreigners to help the Chinese people in their war of resistance to aggression. Then she collected Ma Jifen's clothes together, found a basin, and took them out for him to wash. After finishing her work, Xiao Zhang went to find the old man again. In the old man's room, Xiao Zhang said to the old man: "Grandpa, you We have used these xe bits on him before, but the effect is not as good as yours. What is the reason? "When the old man saw that Xiao Zhang cared so much about Ma Jifen, the old man admired him from the bottom of his heart. People in the army are good. In the Qing Dynasty, whose daughter and daughter-in-law can serve the sick and wounded like this? This daughter is a good person and has good medical skills. The key is that she has a good mind. Who can marry her in the future? She is really blessed. So he patiently answered Xiao Zhang's question: "This is a matter of the depth of the xe position, the technique and the time of acupuncture. When I have acupuncture, I use Qigong techniques to coordinate, so the effect is much better. "Xiao Zhang asked again: "Grandpa, what do you think is the main reason for his condition?" "It is mainly caused by the inability of the meridians in his brain to pass normally. Once it is opened, there will be no problem," the old man said. Xiao Zhang understood a lot after hearing this. She returned to the house and saw Ma Jifen wanting to go outside for some exercise, so she agreed and went out with him. Ma Jifen is a naval officer. He has not trained for a long time due to injuries. Accompanied by Xiao Zhang, he came outside to breathe in the fresh air. He said to Xiao Zhang: "Miss Zhang, thank you very much for taking care of me." If it weren't for your careful care, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today." Xiao Zhang couldn't help but blush when she heard Ma Jifen. She said to Ma Jifen, "I just stayed by your side and did some of my own work. Everyone in China is caring about you. Even our chief has repeatedly said that he will make sure that your body gets better as soon as possible. You have also seen that the things sent to you from all over the country are already full of supplements and yolk products. "Ma Jifen sincerely thanked these Chinese people. He immediately returned to his house. He wanted to write a letter to his mother. He wanted to tell without reservation what he saw and heard here. His mother lives in the United States. Text Chapter 257 Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine Text Chapter 257 Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine Chapter 257 Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine Chapter 257 Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine "Dear mother: I am writing to you from a place called Hejian thousands of miles away in China. It turns out I haven't told you before. In that naval battle between China and Japan, I was injured and a piece of shrapnel hit my head. The severe pain caused me to lose the courage to survive. But a Chinese legend appeared in my head. There was General Li in front of me, and he said to me: Don't worry, we will definitely heal your injuries, because you were injured for the sake of our Chinese people's anti-aggression war. Countless people in China and other countries will suffer from them in the future. The medical staff came to my sick lip. They were enthusiastically treating me. The shrapnel on my head had been successfully removed. However, they were afraid that I would have sequelae and that I would become blind in the future. They were still treating me. It can be said that they have spent countless amounts of money on me. Even in our United States, I don¡¯t think an ordinary naval officer would spend so much money on me. Now they have found another one for me. People here call them doctors. This is an outsider. He just used his hand to mold my hand and he knew all my conditions. Then he started treating me with his silver needles and witchcraft. It only took one time to relieve my pain. I don¡¯t have any pain now. I think I can return to the warship soon. In addition, I also want to tell you that there is a beautiful Chinese girl beside me named Zhang Xiaomei. A warm and good girl is also my attending doctor. She has been working hard for me on my sick lips. She helped me get rid of the disease and gave me the joy of life. To be honest, I have fallen in love with her. My mother, that magical old man in China, was very kind to me. He told me that you would be completely fine in seven days. Do you know how happy I was when he said these words? I really wanted to jump up. Mom, I have a lot to say to you, so I¡¯ll stop here first, otherwise that lovely Chinese girl will say something to me again. You know she is not merciless at all when she criticizes people. "Your pony Giffen, March 10, 1995." Seeing Ma Giffen's happy face, Xiao Zhang was also very happy. She and a few soldiers unloaded the supplies that they had brought from the car and were going to eat here for many days. Zhang took out the one thousand taels of silver notes prepared for the old gentleman, which were the medical fees prepared in advance. She wanted to hand these into the hands of the old man. Xiao Zhang came to the old man's door and knocked gently. The old man said in the room: "Come in." Xiao Zhang pushed him in and entered. A painting in the nave was hung prominently opposite. Xiao Zhang knew that it was from the ancient Hejian. Next to the portrait of the famous doctor Liu Wansu is the well-known couplet: "I hope there will be no disease in the world, even if it causes dust." Xiao Zhang sat opposite the old man. She took out the banknote and said to the old man: "Grandpa, when I came here, the hospital told me to bring you your diagnosis fee. This is a banknote of one thousand taels. Please accept it." Listen After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, the old man stood up suddenly. His face turned red and he said to Xiao Zhang: "You, you, you, get out." When Xiao Zhang saw it, he was shocked and I didn't say what happened. What? Why is the old man anxious? She hurriedly said to the old man: "Grandpa, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, please speak slowly." The old man sat down slowly. He took a deep breath and said to Xiao Zhang: "You people? Let me tell you what is good about you? You can risk your own life for the sake of the common people. Even Mr. Ma is the same. He is a foreigner and he is not afraid of losing his life to fight with the Japanese. What have we done? You still need to take money? Where can I put this old face of someone as old as me? From today on, my daughter is not allowed to talk about money anymore. You can just let me contribute to the fight against Japan. " "Grandpa, what can I do? Our chief wants to do that. It¡¯s mine. Besides, we all have to spend money to eat and stay here.¡± ¡°Just say it¡¯s me who said no more, but I¡¯m really in a hurry for a few meals and I can still afford the house. If you don¡¯t live here, you¡¯ll have nothing to do.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s use this thousand taels of silver as a donation for your old age.¡± ¡°That¡¯s none of your business.¡± Three days later, Ma Jifen¡¯s injuries were gone. It has improved greatly and there are no problems. After a few days of consolidation treatment, Magifen has completely recovered. On this day, he ran to the old man's room and bowed to the old man and said: "Thank you, old man, for helping me heal my injury. I have nothing to say. I just promise you that I will dedicate my life to my second hometown, China." "In the past few days, Mr. Liu and Zhang Xiaomei had many exchanges, which were all about medical treatment. Mr. Liu asked Zhang Xiaomei: "As a person who understands both Western medicine and Chinese medicine, Do you know the relationship between the two?? ? Zhang Xiaomei said: "I know a little but I can't say clearly. I think Western medicine focuses on the patient's condition, while Chinese medicine focuses on conditioning." The old man laughed: "That's what I mean, Western medicine is to solve the disease. It depends on the patient's condition. Traditional Chinese medicine regulates the patient's body, which means that the patient uses his own constitution to fight the disease. When the patient's body reaches a balance of yin and yang, the patient's disease will be cured. " "Just take this. Taking Mr. Ma's disease as an example, western medicine means that he has some problems with his nervous system, but they can't solve them. You can't use their scalpels to open all the nerves, but Chinese medicine uses acupuncture to remove them. His nervous system allows them to activate their own body's ability to solve the disease. In this way, his body can open up some blocked meridians and some symptoms of the disease will be solved. " "Grandpa, you are really good. You are absolutely right. Traditional Chinese medicine in our country has many advantages. Problems that cannot be solved by other methods can be solved with traditional Chinese medicine. " "There are not necessarily many diseases that Western medicine can solve quickly. For example, common diarrhea can be solved with some. The pain can be stopped quickly, but some doctors of traditional Chinese medicine are not able to solve it as quickly. "Yes, I have dealt with this situation before. Grandpa, what do you think this is?" ?¡± ¡°The problem is that we still don¡¯t really understand whether diarrhea is caused by heat (fire) or cold. We must first understand it. As long as the symptoms are correct, then any problem can be solved.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Grandpa. "That's great." "There are some doctors who have problems with their medical ethics, but they want to make it complicated for a while because they also have to make money to support their families, right?" " Text Chapter 258 Medical Ethics Text Chapter 258 Medical Ethics Chapter 258 Medical Ethics Chapter 258 Medical Ethics In the past, there were many doctors who walked around and doctors who stayed at home. They were like this. What is walking around? One is that they have to walk around for the (four) side. There is also another understanding that some prescriptions that are spread everywhere are also based on the prescription. It is easy to talk about it as a doctor. In today's terms, it means that there is a fixed mn side. Some practicing doctors found out that someone in a certain family had a "strange disease" (a difficult and complicated disease) that no one could cure for a long time. It happened that this practicing doctor had a prescription to solve it himself, so he decided to cure it. Once he went there, he could solve the problem. As a result, he became famous and people thought he was capable, so he got some local customers. But these doctors are looking for people to come. For example, this is a poor family that has eaten one meal and not finished another. When he gets there, he wants to cure the disease. He may not even ask for money. People around him treat him like this. He greatly praised his medical ethics and skills, so he became famous, which is what modern people call the rhetorical effect. But if the host's family is a rich family or an official's family, then things can't be so simple. When he gets there, he first uses a yo to make the patient feel better, so that everyone can see that this doctor has two tricks. Diseases that can be cured by humans are about to be cured in his hands. People are full of hope for him, but he will no longer be anxious and will start "procrastinating". Such patients cannot be cured immediately. If they are cured, where will they eat their next meal? Sometimes they have to drag this disease for several months, and they can eat and drink at home while waiting for their own life. But when I arrived at the master's house, I was a little bit suspicious of you. You might not be able to cure this disease. He was about to take action at this time. He couldn't delay it any longer. The master wrote to the master that you were suspicious, so the doctor made a few yos and went down quickly. The local patient's illness will be cured. And he still makes extraordinary moves, which does not affect his reputation at all. This is a problem of medical ethics. The medical ethics of modern people are even more unflattering. Many doctors will first brag to you as soon as they see you admitted to MN. How many people have I cured? It seems that there is no disease in the world that he can't cure, but he doesn't know that he has only been a doctor for a few days. There is a joke here: It is said that the king of hell¡¯s grandma is sick. The king of hell asked a kid to go to the city in the world to ask the doctor for the best. The kid asked: "How does the king of hell know who is the best?" Because he is Imps can't communicate with people, so the Lord of Hell said: "It's easy to say that the ghost of anyone who is put to death will be standing in front of his mn. If you walk around the city, you will see a ghost standing in front of someone's mn. His craftsmanship is the best." This kid still knows the ghost in front of him. Soon the kid came back. What he brought with him was a young doctor in his twenties. The kid said to the Lord of Hell: I have searched all the other people's mn's in the city. There are more ghosts standing in front of an old doctor's mn. There were at least one ghost standing in front of more than a dozen of his mn, so I invited him here. Lord Yama was worried, so he communicated with him and asked him how many years he had been practicing medicine. The man did not dare to lie to Lord Yama and said: "Master Yama, I'm really sorry. I just opened the business yesterday and cured a patient to death on the same day." It's a joke, but there is that doctor who just opened his business and dares to prescribe you a few hundred yuan of yo. In fact, he doesn't even know what your real "symptoms" are and then does it. This is also "unusual". Anyway, how many times is it? After spending 100 yuan, my own profits have come out. In addition to housing, water, electricity and pocket money. And some doctors in large hospitals are even more outrageous. They have no experience at all, but they have "spent money" to buy some kind of "professional title". They have the titles of "Chief Physician" and "Deputy Chief Physician" and they are all experts. Since you're here, you must have money in your pocket. Let's check it out first. B-ultrasound, CT, MRI, various blood tests, etc., whether they are useful or not, they are all here. Anyway, I made an order and they are all there. My commission doesn't work even if you just got an examination from another hospital yesterday because there is no commission from me. After a round of examination, the patient spent thousands and eight hundred dollars first. Then I happened to have an empty lip in the inpatient department, so let's stay there first. Doesn't that also get my commission? The doctor¡¯s enthusiasm was mobilized and his monthly income of several thousand yuan was enough, but the patient couldn¡¯t bear it. The black-hearted doctor said, can¡¯t you still reimburse more than half of it? You just spent countless thousands of dollars on your own. After the examination, you are completely relieved that you are not sick, right? He knows that this is cheating both the people and the country. (I digressed. I hope brothers who feel the same can support me. I also hope that those kind-hearted doctors will not think too much about you. I am afraid that you are also unhappy and uncomfortable with this kind of person.) The consolidation treatment in the next few days will be based on Zhang Xiaomei. Mr. Liu was watching and giving some necessary guidance. From time to time, he gave some pointers to Xiao Zhang¡¯s techniques.Xiao Zhang's medical technology has made great progress during this period. Xiao Zhang wanted to recognize Mr. Liu as his master, but Mr. Liu said: "There is no need to recognize him as a master. I tell you my skills just so that you can learn more." Those passionate men who are treating us. You are fighting bloody battles for our people. There is no reason why we should not help alleviate some of their pain." The young female doctor was greatly moved by the old gentleman's words. In ten days, Ma Jifen and his party were about to set off. Ma Jifen's injury was completely healed. When Xiao Zhang saw that people like himself had stayed at the old gentleman's house for more than ten days, and they would get scolded for giving him money without taking any money, Xiao Zhang took the one he often used. The pen was given to the old man, and the old man happily accepted it. In addition, Xiao Zhang gave a silver dollar from Guangzhou to the old man. She said to the old man: "Grandpa, this is a silver dollar from our own money. Let me give it to you as a souvenir." I happily accepted it. After Ma Jifen came back, he wrote a letter to the relevant parties in the United States and asked them to revoke the name of the U.S. Navy officer that he had originally reserved. He would permanently serve in the Chinese Navy. The car started a long journey again. This time when they arrived in Cangzhou, Xiao Zhang turned around. She went to the local telegraph room and sent a telegram to Dongying, telling them that Ma Jifen had recovered and would arrive in Dongying tomorrow morning. The car arrived at the hospital in Dongying at around nine o'clock in the morning the next day. There were already many people waiting in front of the hospital. A red banner hanging in front of the hospital read: "Warmly welcome the return of combat hero Mr. Ma Jifen after his recovery." When the car arrived, people came out to greet them. A tall woman with fair skin stood among the welcoming crowd. Ma Jifen wiped her eyes with her hands. It was the mother he missed day and night. He found his mother among the people who greeted him. This was something Ma Jifen didn't expect. Ma Jifen hurriedly rushed forward, hugged her mother, and kept shouting: "Mom, why are you here?" The mother and son hugged each other, and both mother and son began to cry. Everyone present also shed tears. Ma Jifen finally calmed down and said to her mother: "Mom, how come you are okay on the way here?" Her mother hugged him and said: "It was a Xinghua company in the United States that sent me here. You said you became China during the battle. The heroes asked me to come to visit you. I was very happy to have them take care of you on the way. It was only when I got here that I started to worry when they said you were injured in the battle. They said you were just out for rehabilitation, so I didn¡¯t have to worry. But you know mom is worried." Text Chapter 259 International Wedding Text Chapter 259 International Wedding Chapter 259 International Wedding Chapter 259 International Wedding Xiao Zhang gently pulled Ma Jifen¡¯s clothes. Ma Jifen understood and said to everyone embarrassedly: "Everyone, please come to my ward. We can Sit down and talk." The dean who was standing in the welcoming team came over and shook hands with Ma Jifen and said, "Mr. Ma Jifen, congratulations on your recovery. Come on, let's go to the living room of the hospital. The place is more spacious." Everyone gathered around Ma Jifen. When they came to the living room, Ma Jifen introduced Xiao Zhang and others to her mother. The old lady said hello to everyone one by one, but to Xiao Zhang, the old lady hugged her. Ma Jifen and her mother chatted affectionately. Xiao Zhang took this opportunity to report Ma Jifen's condition to the dean. He said that Ma Jifen had fully recovered and could now be discharged from the hospital. In addition, Xiao Zhang took out a notebook given by Mr. Liu and the thousand taels of silver notes returned by the old man. Xiao Zhang said to the dean: "This is the typical medical record of the patients that Mr. Liu has cured throughout his life. There are also He gave me some ancient recipes and the old man scolded me for not accepting money." "Then you should study it carefully and try to improve your skills to do your job better. "The dean immediately said: "It's hard for us to talk about the money issue if the old man doesn't accept it." Xiao Zhang said, "I already told the old man that it would be his donation, and the old man agreed at that time." "That's all we have to do. However, I do have an idea that I can ask him to be our hospital¡¯s traditional Chinese medicine consultant in the future. He can often give lectures to our medical staff. One is to learn his medical skills, and more importantly, his medical ethics, such as the general medical skills of folk doctors. They are all very smart. We should try to learn more from him. "Yes, the old man taught me some acupuncture techniques without reservation. I also want to take the time to communicate with you." Ma Jifen was in the hospital at noon. The school held a banquet to thank all the medical staff. Everything was ready. Navy Commander Deng Shichang, who was just about to eat and defend the city, came. He said to the dean: "If it takes you a few minutes, please find a place for me." The dean immediately said : "The place is easy to find, just come to my office." Deng Shichang looked at Ma Jifen and said, "Ma Jifen, follow me." The two followed to the dean's office. A security guard brought a suitcase, put it on his lips and opened it. It was a new set of military uniforms for the Fangcheng Navy. Deng Shichang said to him: "You put on your clothes first. You won't have to go back to the Beiyang Navy in the future. You can go to my fleet in two places. You can choose. One is to go to the Naval Academy to be the vice-principal to cultivate more navy for us in the future." The second talent is to be a captain in the fleet and command the warships to fight the enemy. " "Commander, would you like me to join your navy? That would be great. I have been to the school before. I asked this time. Go to the fleet. Our new warships are great. I want to go to the ship. We have captured so many Japanese warships and the manpower must not be enough." "Okay, then I will promise you to give you three days' leave and then go back and have a meal. "Go." "It will be too long if I don't go back soon. I miss the sea and our warship very much." "You can go as you like. Everyone is impatient." After getting dressed, the man's clothes really depended on his saddle. After putting on the new white S navy clothes, the Magiffin looked much more energetic. The two came back. Ma Jifen walked to his table and said to the people sitting there: "Thank you for your long-term concern for me, an ordinary sailor from the United States. Here I feel the true love of the Chinese people for me. Before the war, I I once asked the Beiyang Navy to take a vacation and visit relatives in the United States. Because of the war, I canceled my vacation. Now my mother has come. After discussion, we agreed that I will not return to the United States and will stay in the Chinese Navy forever. In addition, I also want to express my gratitude to a girl here, that is Dr. Zhang Xiaomei of our hospital. Her meticulous care for me gave me the courage to live. Today I am here to express my gratitude to the gentle and beautiful girl of our hospital. The girl, Miss Zhang Xiaomei, expressed her gratitude to me in a special way for proposing to her. " Ma Jifen walked up to Zhang Xiaomei, knelt down with one foot and put one hand on her chest and said to Zhang Xiaomei: "Miss Zhang, please marry me. I will love you with all my heart." Zhang Xiaomei stood up in a hurry. She didn't know what to say. The hall was quiet for a while, and then there was a burst of warm applause. Deng Shichang said to the dean: "My ship. The president has launched an attack on your doctor. Please support him." The dean smiled and said, "Commander Deng, this applause is not our greatest support."?? " Other girls from Ma Jifen's medical team came together. They congratulated Zhang Xiaomei and asked her to agree quickly. Zhang Xiaomei blushed and said softly: "I promise you to get up quickly. " People responded with even warmer applause. Deng Shichang said to the dean: "How about giving them a few days off and letting them finish their work? " "Commander Deng, you really don't know how to dig people, do you think you can dig people like this? Such a promising seedling was just poached by you. " "Well, this is not my business. I didn't think of it at all. "The banquet was going on in a cheerful atmosphere. Commander Deng and the dean decided to hold a wedding for the two young people the next day. Of course, according to Chinese custom, both parents must agree, but because Xiaomei's parents Ma Jifen¡¯s mother was also very happy that her son had found a good daughter-in-law who was both talented and beautiful. The next morning, a warship stopped at the dock of Dongying, Laizhou Bay. There are two Chinese characters "¶«É½" on the bow of the ship. Careful people can see that it was the original Japanese "Yoshino". However, it has now entered the battle order of the Fangcheng Navy and was renamed "Dongshan". This is Ma Jifen's. The warship was busy. It turned out that the navy's military band was also here to congratulate their new captain. The sailors cleaned up the captain's cabin and put a big red double "" in it. The word "happy" was specially put on the table. Peanuts, dates, chestnuts, etc. were placed on the table in order to please the favor. The dean sent a car to pick up the military band. Everyone in the hospital who was fine was also busy in the unit. It is much easier to hold a wedding. It is a new event anyway, and there are not so many doctors. The auditorium of the hospital is also very spacious. Some other units also sent representatives to congratulate. Even Li Zhenhua called: "To the couple." The couple expressed their congratulations and promised to make up for the gifts later. This international wedding was very lively. Text Chapter 260 Conquering North Korea Text Chapter 260: Conquering North Korea Chapter 260: Conquering North Korea Chapter 260: Conquering North Korea After seeing off the people who came to congratulate them in the evening, the young couple sat on their lips. Xiao Zhang said to Ma Jifen: "Husband, I have to be sorry today. Because I will go to Weihai with you tomorrow. I haven¡¯t finished sorting out the things Mr. Liu gave me. I don¡¯t know when I will be back after leaving. I need to sort out the things and hand them over to my colleagues here. "Is that okay?" "Of course, I will help you with the text." "I'm sorry, I can just do it myself." "That's not possible. As the Chinese say, husband and wife are birds of the same forest. If you don't sleep with me, I can't. I want to watch my wife work while I sleep. At least I can help you pour tea.¡± After a night¡¯s rest, the next day the people at the hospital sent the bride and groom to the dock. They were about to return to the military port. Zhang Xiaomei did not expect that she would become one. The American daughter-in-law happily followed Ma Jifen aboard his cruiser "Dongshan". In the conning tower of the warship, her husband issued a series of orders. There were lng flowers on the back of the huge warship. The warship slowly accelerated forward. The signal soldier In accordance with Captain Magiffin's order, a string of signal flags was hung to see off the people on the shore: "Goodbye and thank you, my dear friends." Magiffin originally thought that the quality of the sailors on his warships would not be too high, but when all the orders he issued in English were all executed accurately by his subordinates, he realized that his subordinates were well-trained. The overall quality was not as low as he originally thought. Soon, his officers from the first mate, second mate boatswain, gunnery chief, damage control, communications, logistics and other departments reported to him. Ma Jifen said to them excitedly: "From now on, we will be a fighting unit. In Chinese terms, I am your big brother and you are all my good brothers. We must work together to fight for the strength of our ancient country." They answered together: "Yes" The "Dongshan" sailed quickly towards the open sea in the wind. The red dragon flag at the highest point of the warship was flapping in the sea breeze. The officers and soldiers of the ship set off with high morale. They were going to execute Li Zhenhua's plan again. Japan's action. After the holiday in 1895, Li Zhenhua received two visits from foreign heads of state. The first was the King of North Korea, Li Xi. He thanked Li Zhenhua's troops for rescuing him from imprisonment and making him the king of North Korea. He knew something about Li Zhenhua. Due to the situation, he was eager to go to China to tell the truth. He hated the country Japan very much. They encouraged Daewonjun to seize his position as king and imprison him. If the Chinese hadn't defeated the Japanese, I don't know what his fate would have been like. In addition, he had completely lost confidence in the Qing government and was very disgusted with them. There was obviously Yuan Shikai in North Korea, but he was only a Supreme Emperor. And there was never any real problem solved for him. Some of his subordinates told him that Li Zhenhua's troops in North Korea not only cared about and protected the common people, but also helped the peasant brothers without any offense. They actually became one with the local people. Not only did they have power in the entire Qing Dynasty, they also had forces that he supported in East Asia. Therefore, after discussing with some ministers, he decided to directly join Li Zhenhua's banner. They would become Li Zhenhua's vassal state and would only pay tribute to them because of the Qing government. Fu didn't care about them at all. When he saw Li Zhenhua, he made a request to Li Zhenhua directly without any nonsense. From now on, we will become your vassal country under your leadership. Li Zhenhua didn¡¯t answer him at first, but he knelt down to Li Zhenhua and said that from now on, Li Xi will be your subject. If you promise me, you will get up. If you don¡¯t promise, I won¡¯t go back. Those who saw the performance of the North Korean king Li Zhenhua laughed. Sheng Xuanhuai said to Li Zhenhua: "Isn't this the result we want? Don't push it and just agree." Li Zhenhua said to him: "It seems that he is sincere. But I'm afraid that he will repeat it in the future. " "No," Sheng Xuanhuai said, "The problem with his recurrence is not with him but with us. If we become stronger in the future, he won't repeat it. If we are still the same as before. We can't help but let people have repeated opinions." Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "If your opinion is right, let's agree to it." So Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai, and Feng Guozhang began to formally negotiate with Li Xi. It appeared as a subordinate of Li Zhenhua, but it was still a sovereign country in name. Don¡¯t be like the person who just passed away (it¡¯s no longer necessary to use China as a close neighbor, just use Russia as a close neighbor), and don¡¯t be like the little neighbor to the south. Then you have to keep your mind on me and don¡¯t let anything happen. Don¡¯t come close to us. If nothing happens, you dare to bark at me, just like a dog that never gets fed well. We will soon be negotiating with Japan.At the negotiation table, we will definitely strive for the greatest interests for North Korea. First, use their compensation to build up the army. Li Biao will help you deal with all this. Then we will actively carry out domestic production and construction to truly make the country rich and powerful, and form a new strong army with Li Biao's troops as the main force. Then we will take some small Japanese warships and form a naval force as the city defense navy. Reserve force. At the same time, Japan's Emperor Meiji also came. Under the protection of Nao Hai and others, they came to Shanghai, China in an informal capacity and met with Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua's attitude towards them had long been finalized. They and other countries They are different now. Although they have failed, if they become stronger one day, they will still show their teeth to their masters. They are essentially different from the leaders of those two small countries. Now those two countries can provide support, but for Japan, it is not the same. It must be controlled. But as a spiritual leader of Japan, we have to use him. We must know that his reputation among the Japanese people is still very high. If he is used well, he can be said to be very beneficial. If not used well, it is not good to blindly support them. He will come back to bite you, but Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai and Feng Guozhang first encouraged him to drive Russia out of Hokkaido as soon as possible. If the emperor obeys Li Zhenhua's leadership, then he can also give them some scorn. s help. Li Hongzhang, Xue Fucheng, Wu Tingfang, and Xu Shichang of the Japanese negotiating delegation have gathered together in Tianjin in a small building in Tanggu, Tianjin. As the host, Li Hongzhang gave everyone the best Huangshan Mojian. His spirits were very good, and he didn't look like he was just recovering from a serious illness. People were greeting him. Even Xue Fucheng's spirits were also very good. It seemed that this battle was won. My spirit is also much better. Text Chapter 261 Chinese Negotiator Text Chapter 261 Chinese Negotiator Chapter 261 Chinese Negotiator Chapter 261 Chinese Negotiator Wu Tingfang once obtained a doctorate in law in the UK. Li Zhenhua¡¯s purpose of bringing him here is to make him responsible for the drafting and review of legal documents. Xue Fucheng himself is a A diplomat, he has a good way of negotiating. He can quote classics. However, Xu Shichang is being underestimated by some people here. He is just a Shuji non-commissioned officer of the Hanlin Academy, but the fourth rank. Now he only has a sinecure in the Hanlin Academy. But Li Zhenhua transferred him here to let him learn. He knew that he was a capable person, and he would also be a famous figure in the future Republic of China. They are all waiting for a key figure now, that is Li Zhenhua. Everyone's topic naturally turned to the matter of negotiation. Several people thought that Li Hongzhang was an experienced negotiator and should be in charge of the negotiation this time. But Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "If you're not busy, our protagonist hasn't come on stage yet. We have set him at ten o'clock." The time is very strong, he will not be late, but he will not be early. "The clock is turning and it is almost ten o'clock. People have doubts about Li Hongzhang's words. It seems that the prince is going to be late today, but at this time Li Hongzhang said to everyone. "Alright, it's almost time. Let's go meet the prince-in-law." Several people stood up to follow Li Zhongtang to welcome the mn out. When the guards opened the mn, they heard Geshiha's long and high-pitched voice outside the big mn in the distance. He shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Prince of Fu, the General of Yunnan, Mr. Li is here." These titles are awkward. Li Hongzhang and his entourage hurriedly welcomed them out. Li Zhenhua had already driven his car to the front of the main hall. He saw that several ministers had already come out of the main hall. The soldiers in charge of greeting the guests had also fired the salute. When they saw the adults coming out to greet Li Zhenhua, they hurriedly got out. The car smiled and said to everyone: "I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting." After saying that, he walked up and shook hands with everyone one by one. He first said to Li Hongzhang: "The anger of the master in the middle hall is much better." Li Hongzhang replied: "General. What a blessing." Li Zhenhua shook Xue Fucheng's hand again. Li Hongzhang introduced at the side: "This is Mr. Xue Fucheng, our former minister to France and the United Kingdom." Xue Fucheng said, "Thank you for taking care of me. If it weren't for you, my life would be dead." "You should be our hero. How is your health lately?" "Thank you, sir. My health is much better." Wu Tingfang said, "Thank you, sir." Your name is very familiar to me. It¡¯s a blessing to meet you today.¡± Li Zhenhua: ¡°Thank you for being our legal expert.¡± Finally, although Xu Shichang¡¯s status is relatively low, the two of them were very polite. Xu Shichang felt very deeply that he could be a great hero in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. However, he was still so enthusiastic about his little bastard. I don't know how he fell in love with him. Although I have fallen in love with a brother Yuan Shikai, if I compare Yuan Shikai and Li Zhenhua, it will be heaven and earth. Xu Shichang thought about it and entered Li Hongzhang's living room with everyone. Several people sat down, Yi Shiha served Li Zhenhua tea and left. Li Hongzhang got straight to the point and said: "Master Li is here. We were just talking about this negotiation. You have to take the lead." Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who is the leader. The few here are our negotiators. The most important thing now is that we have to discuss how to get the maximum benefit from the Japanese. " Several people agreed. Li Zhenhua said: "Then please ask Dr. Wu to draft a legal document and we will negotiate with them based on this. " At this time, Li Hongzhang also conveyed the above meaning: That means we will win. The conditions are that we don't cede the land and don't pay compensation so that they don't dare to come and add more to us in the future. The conditions are not unreasonable. Everyone said they couldn't understand, so no one took Chaoting's meaning to heart. These people don't have the procrastinating temper of ordinary Qing Dynasty officials. They immediately started to prepare one for you and one for me. Wu Tingfang took a pen from Li Zhenhua and took charge of recording. Soon everyone reached an agreement. The opinions decided to make the following demands to the Japanese side: The most important thing is to abolish all previous unequal treaties between Japan, China and North Korea. Militarily, Japan can only have all the current troops and cannot add new troops if the situation requires it. This must be done only after obtaining the consent of our country's government. In addition, there can be a police force responsible for national security. Japan must dismantle all military ports under the supervision of China and convert them into civilian ports. It is not allowed to produce and own warships of more than 3,000 tons. All enterprises and factories originally used for military production must be dismantled. The production equipment has recently been disposed of, and Chinese personnel will be dispatched to supervise and implement it. Economically,?China has opened the ports of Shimonoseki, Sasebo, Nagasaki, Kobe, Hakodate and other ports to implement agreed tariffs. That is, China and Japan will mutually agree on the items that need to be taxed. China and Japan will discuss and set aside places in the above port cities as Chinese people in the concession have consular jurisdiction. All future activities of Japan in any third-party country, including military, political, economic and other aspects, need to obtain the consent of our government. Regarding war reparations, Japan will compensate China for war losses of 25 million and two cents in silver and pay it back within four years. The annual interest rate is four cents. Compensate North Korea with 5 million taels of silver. China will provide Japan with Chinese coastal ports for trade and release all prisoners in custody (except for those who are unwilling to return to the country.) However, Japan will have to pay 6 million taels of prisoner of war management fees to China. The entire squadron withdrew from North Korea (there is no mention of the squadron withdrawing from Japan). In addition, in order to ensure that Japan can repay the loan on time, the Chinese government temporarily stationed troops in Shimonoseki and waited for Japan to complete the repayment before withdrawing from Japan. During this period, Japan had to ensure the supply of the squadron. The leaders of the disposal of Japanese war criminals were Nozu Michizuki and Yamashita. Youpeng, Dashanyan and others. This time, it really left some face for the Japanese emperor and did not imprison him as a war criminal. This treaty can be said to have made Japan a vassal state of China in the future. It no longer has its own political status in the world. However, relatively speaking, this condition can be given preferential treatment to Japan because it did not demand too much war reparations from Japan (you must know that the original In the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", the Qing government's compensation to Japan was 200 million taels of silver.) However, Li Zhenhua had his own idea here, that is, it would be good to take Japan into his own hands in the future and let them use it as a production base. . When other people saw what Li Zhenhua said, they had no objections. Those in the court were even more speechless. They thought that as long as they did not pay compensation, it would be fine. The last time they faced the Japanese and the French, they were not defeated and they gave them money. Did you take advantage? Text Chapter 262 Treaty of Tianjin among China, North Korea and Japan Text Chapter 262 Treaty of Tianjin among China, North Korea, and Japan Chapter 262 Treaty of Tianjin among China, North Korea, and Japan Chapter 262 Treaty of Tianjin among China, North Korea, and Japan The delegation sent by North Korea arrived on the second day The Japanese side arrived on the third day People also came from Japan: Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu, and Japanese Minister to China Hisutaro Komura. When they saw that the negotiators from the three parties had arrived, Li Hongzhang informed them to start negotiations the next day. The venue for the negotiation was chosen in the small building in Tanggu, Tianjin. The main officials of the host were sitting in it. Li Hongzhang and Li Zhenhua were sitting among them. All of them were dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes. Several ministers were wearing colorful court clothes. However, it is very interesting that only Li Zhenhua is wearing a set of Chinese clothes designed by himself. There are no braids on his head. Several people in Japan have never seen Li Zhenhua. This is their first meeting. They have gotten to know him. He is in his twenties and is very kind to him. Is this what he looks like? Is he the one who defeated tens of thousands of Japanese elite troops? In front of everyone participating in the negotiation is a set of tea cups with a strong fragrance. There are faint smiles on the faces of several negotiators. When the North Korean representatives arrived, they bowed politely to the representatives of their sovereign state. Li Hongzhang and others smiled and bowed their hands to them. Then several guards led them to a seat on the side, and someone also served them tea. As soon as the last few Japanese people who came entered the negotiation hall, they bowed to the Qing officials and North Korean officials present, and then Li Hongzhang pointed at them with his hand before sitting down in their seats. The guards didn't know whether they forgot or did it on purpose. Anyway, they didn't even bring the tea. Li Zhenhua smiled and signaled to a guard before they brought the tea. Li Zhenhua smiled in his heart and said, "Don't be too stingy. They have to spend huge sums of money to buy it." This water is for drinking. Those who were responsible for protecting the outside of the negotiation office were soldiers wearing M uniforms and helmets on their heads. Not to mention the Japanese, even the Koreans felt the murderous aura in them. North Korea originally wanted to ask Japan to cede Nagasaki to them, but seeing that China did not make territorial claims to Japan, they did not mention the matter again. They just agreed to China's proposal and asked Japan to pay compensation of three million taels of silver. The Japanese side saw the conditions proposed by the Chinese side and considered them unacceptable (this was just a bargaining technique. In fact, they originally thought that the Chinese side would ask for a high price from them.) But Li Zhenhua¡¯s point of view is very clear. You will not agree to that. See you on the battlefield, but Japan has no ability to fight anymore, and when they came, the emperor had told them that they could only accept China's armistice conditions because they could no longer fight. Three people from the Japanese side immediately expressed their intention to seek domestic instructions. Li Zhenhua announced a cessation of negotiations for three days and continued negotiations three days later. After several exchanges with domestic parties, Ito Hirobumi set the bottom line for negotiations with the Chinese. Now the situation is completely opposite to the original history. It turned out that Li Hongzhang negotiated with the Japanese on behalf of the Qing government at the Fan Tower in Shimonoseki. At that time, Li Hongzhang was extremely embarrassed. The Japanese army marched straight into Chinese soil. Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu urged Li Hongzhang as soon as possible every day. Sign an armistice agreement with the Japanese first. The Qing government originally designated Li Hongzhang's son Li Jingfang to negotiate, but the Japanese simply did not let them name Li Hongzhang to negotiate. Li Hongzhang no longer had his own warship, so he had to take a Japanese warship to Maguan. Li Hongzhang was very anxious, but the Japanese wanted to delay time and gain greater benefits. They occupied Taiwan and the Penghu Islands one after another. They wanted to sit down and negotiate, but someone actually came out to shoot Li Hongzhang. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang was shot. They were afraid that Li Hongzhang would go back, so they sat down to negotiate. The terms of the negotiation were what they had already agreed on, and they just wanted Li Hongzhang to be on top. Just a signature. Li Hongzhang communicated with the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu many times about the conditions they proposed, but the Japanese knew everything about how they communicated. The Japanese knew about the telegrams earlier than Li Hongzhang. The mn outside Li Hongzhang's house was When people under Japanese sentry posts go out, they must be protected by the Japanese in name only. It was inconvenient for Li Hongzhang, his son Li Jingfang and others to speak here, so under the instruction of the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" on behalf of the Qing government, which the Chinese will never be able to hold their heads up to. Japan ceded Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, and the Liaodong region and at the same time compensated the Japanese for military expenses of 200 million taels of silver. Therefore, Li Hongzhang became a big traitor. Who knows, but Li Hongzhang would not have dared to sign such a treaty without the approval of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, who scared him to death. Now the defeated Japan is the same as Li Hongzhang at that time, except that they will not be shot, but they are surrounded by Chinese people who are guarding them. When they send telegrams, they are also protected by the Chinese people. Of course, they are in contact with the country.??'s contact with the Chinese negotiators is also very clear. They insisted on several things. One was the issue of China's trial of Japanese war criminals. After questioning, they asked how they would deal with Nozu Nuki and others in the future. Li Zhenhua said directly to them: "The massacre of the city is not allowed internationally, so they They will be sentenced to death. "Omatsu Bowen said: "Let them commit suicide by caesarean section. This is the custom of our Japanese Yamato people." Regarding this issue, several officials participating in the negotiations felt that there was nothing wrong with dying. It doesn't matter, but Li Zhenhua disagreed with their proposal and resolutely rejected their proposal. Why? Li Zhenhua did not say at the negotiation table that he just insisted that the head must be beheaded in the Chinese way. Several Japanese people thought that Li Zhenhua would talk about using the "chop" method, but Li Zhenhua said: "You can't use that method, it would be too cruel, but we will chop off their heads." After hearing this cruel method of the general He thought the method was a kind act, which made Dasong Bowen scold Li Zhenhua as "cruel" in his heart. During the break in the meeting, Wu Tingfang quietly asked Li Zhenhua: "Sir, why didn't you agree to the Japanese proposal to let them commit suicide by caesarean section instead of chopping them up?" "Sir Wu, you should have a good understanding of Japanese customs and habits." Seeing Wu Tingfang Li Zhenhua's face turned red and he continued: "Mr. Wu, I am not telling you that you are ignorant. The Japanese have a habit that when they commit an unforgivable sin, they will apologize by disembowelment. In this way, they will be forgiven and respected by many people. They will be enshrined by future generations. Furthermore, Japanese custom is that after death, a complete corpse must be preserved before entering heaven. If a complete corpse cannot be obtained, it will become a lonely ghost wandering around. They have committed such a big crime in our country. We cannot let them die peacefully for their crimes. I just want them to never be reincarnated." Li Zhenhua was originally an atheist and now he has become a believer in God. But when Li Hongzhang and other officials heard this, they said nothing. Prevent them from being reborn. Li Hongzhang said: "These Japanese are war criminals with evil intentions and are punished with death. They still want to make them more decent. If we let their wishes come true, won't we be insulted by the Chinese people?" The Japanese are really hateful.¡± The Japanese finally signed the treaty. This treaty was later called the "Treaty of Tianjin between China, North Korea and Japan". The specific treaty is as shown on the left: vertically arranged, it is customary to write from right to left, so it is called Ruzuo and the current following is the same meaning. ) Treaty of Tianjin between China, North Korea and Japan A. Abolish all unequal treaties previously signed between China, North Korea and Japan B. Militarily speaking, Japan can only retain an army of 150,000 people and cannot add new troops if the situation arises If necessary, you must obtain the consent of the Chinese government. In addition, there can be a police force responsible for national security. C. Japan must dismantle all military ports under the supervision of China and convert them into civilian ports. It shall not dismantle enterprises and factories that produce and own warships of more than 3,000 tons that were originally used for military production. All production equipment has recently been processed and will be monitored and implemented by personnel sent by China. D. Economically, Shimonoseki, Sasebo, Nagasaki, Kobe, Hakodate and other ports are open to China. Each port will implement agreed tariffs, which will be negotiated by China and Japan. Japanese Customs A Chinese person will be the general person in charge and an area will be designated as a concession in each of the above port cities. Chinese people in the concession have consular jurisdiction and Chinese people can move freely throughout Japan. E. Japan's future activities against any third party country include military, political, Economic and other aspects require the consent of the Chinese government. Regarding war reparations: Japan will compensate China for war losses of 28 million two cents in silver and pay back four cents in annual interest within five years. Compensation to North Korea of ??four million in silver will be paid back within two to five years. Geng, China will provide Japan with Chinese coastal ports for trade and release all prisoners in custody (except for those who are unwilling to return to the country.) However, Japan will have to pay China a prisoner of war management fee of five million yuan. One million taels. Xin and the squadron all withdrew from North Korea (there is no mention of the squadron withdrawing from Japan). There are two attachments: the first is the friendly trade agreement between China, North Korea and Japan; the second is the relevant agreement on China¡¯s military garrison in Japan. The text is written in Chinese, Korean and Japanese, each in three copies, making a total of nine copies. Each of the three parties holds three copies. The Contractor: China, Grand Bachelor Li Hongzhang, Yunnan General Li Zhenhua, Korea, Japan, Japan, Prime Minister Hirobumi Ohmatsu, Japan's Foreign Minister Riku.?Munemitsu Japan's Minister to China Jutaro Omura March 28, 15 Annex 1: Sino-Japanese Treaty of Friendship and Commerce Annex 2: Relevant Agreement on Garrisoning Troops in Japan This is the first time since the First Opium War in 1840 This time China did not cede territory to outsiders and pay compensation, which made both the government and the opposition very happy. After the negotiation ended, Li Zhenhua finally breathed a sigh of relief. From 1840 to now, this is the only time that we have truly negotiated with others as a victorious nation. Li Hongzhang's eyes were filled with tears. The three people also shed tears. Li Hongzhang immediately reported the results of the negotiations to the court. However, Li Zhenhua asked reporters to publish the full text of the "Treaty of Tianjin between China, North Korea, and Japan" in newspapers. He wanted the entire army and people across the country to know this great news. He wanted to take this opportunity to let The people of the country are more united, making people love their country more and allowing more soldiers to devote themselves to the battle to defend the country. Text Chapter 263 Reorganizing the New Army Text Chapter 263 Reorganizing the New Army Chapter 263 Reorganizing the New Army Chapter 263 Reorganizing the New Army So various newspapers published a large number of reports about this war, including the Battle of Dadonggou, the Battle of Weihai, and some unknown facts on the Liaodong battlefield. Things were also published in the newspapers. At the same time, a new term also appeared, that is, "Chinese nation". With this new term as the basic point, people began to have a concept in their minds, that is, we are all people under the same blue sky. The Japanese invaded us and them. It doesn't matter which nationality you are, as long as you are Chinese, you will be bullied by them. Countries around the world are also talking about this treaty. Some are happy and some are sad. Of course, all countries that are relatively close to China have sent telegrams to China to express their joy. Countries in Southeast Asia have also sent telegrams. Congratulations on the establishment of a new regime at this time, the original "Lanfang Republic" in Nanyang, also sent a congratulatory telegram to Li Zhenhua. In fact, the top leader was his own general Wei Xiaohu. A large part of European countries also sent congratulatory messages to the Qing government, but the Germans sent congratulatory messages to Li Zhenhua personally to express their joy. The same is true for some countries in South America. They see that this eastern country will be an important country in the world in the future. Now they need to lay a foundation first and then they can have further exchanges if there is an opportunity. As Japan's ally in recent years, the UK, which turned out to be the world's leader, accused the Chinese of injuring ordinary people in the shelling of Shimonoseki. They expressed regret for this. In the words of Xue Fucheng: "Sorry is useless. If you don't accept it, you can let it go." Come here and let's continue. d. Fight." Wu Tingfang said: "The Japanese didn't have any regrets when they massacred the city." The results of the negotiation were reported to the Queen Mother and the court. Emperor Guangxu was very happy that his victory was only real since 1840. Although he had won before, he still had to pay for it. This time, not only did he not pay for it, but the prince-in-law also got the money back for himself. Even though it wasn't much, it still allowed me to stand up and speak. The Queen Mother and Emperor Guangxu immediately summoned their closest ministers to study how to use Li Zhenhua. It is an indisputable fact that this prince-in-law can fight and use troops. This is how to use talents so that he can exert all his abilities. Now, even the Queen Mother is much less defensive about him, and is no longer as defensive about everything as before. Had it not been for him, the battlefields in Liaodong and Weihai would have ended so quickly this time? If he hadn't just relied on his ministers, they would have almost taken away the land of Longxing from him, and I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to save his current Shuntian Mansion. So when the Empress Dowager and Emperor Guangxu wanted to listen to the opinions from below, everyone said that Li Zhenhua should be re-employed, especially Xu Gengshen, the Minister of War, who directly said: "Let the Duke of Fuguo build a new army for us and build a new army of 100,000 people in Tianjin." Once the army comes out, the mn households in Tianjin will have no worries. "The ministers were surprisingly unanimous this time, and there was no other voice of opposition. Neither the Qing faction who loved to find faults nor the Manchu nobles came forward to oppose it. Regarding this matter, the Queen Mother sighed in her heart: "The general trend is, just use him. Now we can only count on him. No one else can count on him." At this time, some people also proposed to give Li Zhenhua a three-eyed dazzle. Even Cixi responded to this proposal. The Queen Mother simply ignored that boy. He didn't like this, so why did he do it? Now it was just to borrow his strength. Besides, she had never seen him wearing court uniforms. Besides, he didn't have braids on his head at all, so he was very ugly. Stop being so silly about serious things. So the DPRK immediately issued an imperial edict to urgently summon Duke Li Zhenhua to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit and quickly reported the situation to Li Zhenhua through Beiyang channels. Li Zhenhua had already made preparations. He took care of his own affairs and immediately left for Beijing. First he met Emperor Guangxu. Guangxu was very satisfied with him and put a lot of high hats on him. Li Zhenhua didn't say anything, he just asked straight to the point. He said: "Why did the emperor urgently summon me to the palace?" This was really pretending to be confused, so the emperor had to tell him that the war with Japan is over now. We have discovered many problems from this war. The Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers can no longer fight. Now it has been decided that you will be responsible for commanding and training a new army. Li Zhenhua did not refuse and just said to the emperor: "It is a good thing to train the new army, but I don't know how the emperor plans to proceed?" The emperor said: "It's up to you. What do you think about taking up Li Hongzhang's position?" "What will Master Li do?" "Of course I will go back to Beijing to make other arrangements." Li Zhenhua immediately thought that this was not possible. He could say that he had no problems in the military. But if you deal with the original officials, you will beThere are a lot of officials who do not agree with me, but I can't handle them well. They are just relatives of the emperor, and there are also some conservative officials who can kill them all when they are angry? Besides, we have to deal with Russia and Britain, so our energy cannot be used on those internal conflicts. So he said to the emperor: "It is necessary to train a new army for the emperor, but don't use me as the governor. In the future, these soldiers should be directly under the responsibility of the Ministry of War. I will just take charge of them." Guangxu was very happy when he heard this. Happy. Where can I find such a person if my husband doesn¡¯t want power? He immediately said to Li Zhenhua: "But this way you are not justified. You will not be comfortable in commanding. You may have to be controlled by others in terms of logistics and other aspects in the future." Who dares to disobey me? " "Then if anything happens, just tell me and I will kill him." Emperor Guangxu said harshly and then said: "Go to the Queen Mother. Come on. She is also looking for you. " Li Zhenhua went to the garden to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was very happy about Li Zhenhua's arrival. She should also try to win over this person. She had always been lukewarm to him now. If this continues, both in public and personal terms, we should be kinder to this prince-in-law. The Queen Mother, who was in the garden, was in a good mood at this time. Although it was early and the weather was a bit cool, the sun was very good. She was basking in the sun. When she saw Li Zhenhua coming, she immediately asked Li Lianying to get him a seat and let him sit on hers. around. He reached out and patted Li Zhenhua's hand and said to him: "My son, you have worked hard for a while. If you hadn't attacked our Qing Dynasty at sea, Weihai and Liaodong, our Qing Dynasty would have been in danger. If not, I, an old woman, would have to go again." The thought of evacuating makes me feel uncomfortable. How about the aftermath?" Text Chapter 264 Let them go to hell Text Chapter 264 Let them go to hell Chapter 264 Let them go to hell Chapter 264 Let them go to hell Li Zhenhua was very disgusted with the Queen Mother¡¯s long fingernails for fear that he would scratch his hands. He was deeply affectionate with her. He despised him and said to the Queen Mother: "Lafayette is not as serious as you said. I feel upset when I see those foreigners. As soon as I heard that they massacred our innocent people in Lushun, I became angry. I have to teach them a lesson, but at least I defeated them. "It's more than defeat. If it weren't for you, we would have to cede territory and pay compensation. This time, not only would we not have to pay compensation, but we would also let them get money for us." This has never been a great victory since the time of the late Emperor. Thank you very much." The Empress Dowager Cixi said this sincerely. "Yes, our money is already tight. If we pay compensation to them, it will be even harder for the people." "Report to me the meritorious service of your officers and soldiers, and I will reward them. Those who died, also tell me, and I will get some pensions for them." This will help them." "Well, if the Queen Mother is willing to go back, I will do it." "You think we have so many soldiers in the Qing Dynasty that we don't have an army that can fight?" "I can't say that. "Li Zhenhua said in his heart: Isn't this obvious? You have political, military, and economic constraints. How can your troops do it? "This time, the emperor saw your good performance and decided to ask you to train a new army for the Qing Dynasty. I discussed it with the ministers and you can train a new army for us at the small station in Tianjin." "Let me It's not impossible to train a new army, but one thing is that I have to have real power, otherwise I can't afford to offend those relatives of the emperor and the Qing faction." He said nothing in front of the emperor, but when it came to the Empress Dowager Cixi, he said. He knows this old woman's mentality. If he doesn't say anything now, he is afraid that she will change her mind again in the future. There is nothing you can do against her. "Let you do everything as you please. I think that slave dares not to listen to me. I'll peel off his skin and fight. It's not enough to fight. It's their ability. Give them whatever they want. You can first arrange six towns with 100,000 troops. You "It depends on how long it will take." "If there is no restriction, it can surpass the original army in one year, and it can produce elite soldiers in three years, and it will be ranked first in the world. If it takes five years, it will even be in Europe." The strongest German and French armies are no match for us. " "It's up to you. I will see that your 100,000 elite soldiers will not be used against others, but I will be thankful to God if they don't dare to attack us. ." He was still conservative when he spoke. "Then this amount of money is not a small sum." Li Zhenhua looked at the Queen Mother and said that he wanted to prepare her army in advance. This was a big expense. "It doesn't matter, just use the Japanese indemnity to pay for it. Later, you will have to squeeze out money no matter what. But if you don't want to be the governor of Zhili, then what kind of title do you want." "Anyway, every town has a governor. I can¡¯t be a mayor, or I can just call him Commander-in-Chief like in Western countries.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all up to you, let¡¯s call him Commander-in-Chief.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it, but now Russia is in our northeast and northwest. If it starts to stir up again, please ask the Queen Mother to arrange troops from both places to deal with it, otherwise they will have to take advantage of it again. " "How many soldiers do you have at your disposal now?" "I don't have anyone under my command now. Basically, everyone has been wiped out. Now I am just a bare-bones commander. Now even production in various places cannot proceed normally. " "Those children of yours are all good people. I asked the Ministry of Accounts to allocate more money to you. Just comfort them." "Then thank you, Queen Mother Lafayette." On the outskirts of Dongying, Shandong, Japan's Minister to China Komura Jutaro and a group of Japanese stood there with a sullen expression. According to the "Tianjin Treaty" between China, North Korea and Japan. According to the regulations, some war criminals must be dealt with. First of all, the inhumane Nozu Michizuki was sentenced to death and "beheaded" using traditional Chinese methods. There were also several of his regiment commanders, squadron commanders, and even a few soldiers. First, Nogami Michizuki was sentenced. There are not many people here today who are not watching, because people from all over the country were not notified to come, but some people heard the news and came, but there are thousands of people around to watch. There were also some Chinese officials present. Wu Tingfang was there to supervise the implementation as a Chinese personnel. There were also reporters from some media who had already prepared their cameras. They didn't set up any stage. They just found an open space on the outskirts of Dongying and dug a pit next to it. Several soldiers from Dongying took Nozu Michinuki up. One of them had a red S armband with the words "Martial Court" written on it. The officer held aZhang Zhi said to Nozu Michuki: "Now you will be sentenced." "According to the investigation report of Lieutenant General Nozu Michinuki, the former commander of the Third Division of the First Army of the Japanese Invasion Expeditionary Force, Nozu Michinuki ordered and connived at his soldiers to massacre the Lushun area during the war and killed 26,000 innocent people. Three hundred and twenty three people burned down houses, 18,654 jinyinf women, and more than 1,500 Nozu Michizuki himself confessed. Based on the investigation report and his own confirmation, the Dongying Special Military Court decided to sentence Nozu Michizuki to death immediately. "Execute." The two soldiers came up and first verified their identity, then grabbed Nozu Michizuki's hand and asked him to press his fingerprints on the piece of paper. Then they pulled him aside and knelt in front of a wooden pier. At this time, Nozu Michizuki was there. The face was so frightened that the nio had already been soaked by the stench and had gone a long way. A warrior with big muscles and round waist was already standing there. He had a big sword in his hand. As soon as the two warriors mentioned Nozu Michuki, he pounced on the soldier behind the tree pillar and gave him a kick, making him lie down on the wooden pillar. The soldier raised his hand. The head of Nozu Michizuki's body had already left his body. The onlookers cheered in unison, but the eyes of Komura Jutaro, the Japanese Minister to China, were closed. He couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't leave and could only endure it here to avoid vomiting. Then they took the Japanese war criminals who had already been frightened one by one and sentenced them one by one, and then beheaded them together. At this time, none of the Japanese war criminals could stand up anymore, and their mental endurance was not good. Seeing Nozuichi After Guan's head was chopped off, they knew their fate. Now they could no longer think of going to heaven, so they had to wait to go to hell, and no one would remember them. General Aritomo Yamagata and General Oyama Iwa were both sentenced to twenty years in prison. However, due to fear and age, the two men's bodies immediately collapsed. They were basically in a semi-conscious state. Li Zhenhua knew that they were also pretending. The ingredients were in it, so the Japanese paid a deposit of 300,000 taels for Komura Jutaro to take them both away. Others have twenty years, ten years, anyway, they will be imprisoned in China for a long time. Soon these news appeared in the newspapers. Some Western countries were surprised by these actions of the Chinese. How could these barbaric Chinese behave in such a "civilized" way? They actually thought of trying war criminals. This is much worse than We need to be more civilized in our work. After that, China's practice will be used as an international precedent and will be implemented in other countries and regions. Text Chapter 265 Establishing a New Army Text Chapter 265 Establishment of the New Army Chapter 265 Establishment of the New Army Chapter 265 Establishment of the New Army Under the direct instruction of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Tianjin Station established a new army of six towns. Li Zhenhua arranged them on the line from Tianjin to Cangzhou. Connected with Dongying. Then he built roads and communication lines from Tianjin to Cangzhou, Tianjin and Beijing. Mn households in Beijing are strategically protected. The naval base in Weihai has now been handed over to the navy in Fangcheng. The Beiyang Navy cannot be separated now. All of them have been sent to Lushun for rectification and repair. The casualties are also very high. They need to redistribute the captured Japanese warships. The ship "Akitsusu" that escaped during the Battle of Japan for repairs also came back from Japan and changed the battle sequence of the Beiyang Navy. Li Zhenhua changed the originally planned names of town, unification, and association to division, brigade, and regiment, which was said to be in line with international standards. The troops were organized into three infantry divisions, one artillery division, and two cavalry divisions. Under the infantry division are two brigades. Each brigade has three infantry regiments and a logistics regiment with a population of about 15,000 people. However, they are divided according to weapons and equipment. They also have division-affiliated artillery, cavalry, communications, medical and other units. Each regiment has three battalions, three companies, three infantry platoons, and a firepower platoon, which is machine guns and mortars. The lowest level of the artillery platoon is a squad of fifteen people per squad. The artillery division is divided into six regiments, three heavy artillery regiments, two regiments equipped with 150 artillery, one regiment equipped with 105 artillery, two regiments equipped with 85 infantry artillery, and one is a logistics regiment. Below the regiment are three battalions, nine companies, and twenty-seven platoons. Below the platoon are two squads, each with one mn cannon, for a total of fifty-four mn cannons. The logistics group is equipped with cars, carts and a large number of mules and horses. There are 12,000 people in a division. The two brigades under the cavalry division are composed of four regiments, three combat regiments and one logistics regiment. The organization under the combat regiment is a three-three system. Each squad has fifteen people per regiment, which means there are more than 1,500 people. The logistics regiment has arranged for them 300 horse-drawn carts and 100 cars. This is a division plus Some affiliated units such as hospitals and communications have about 12,000 people. The original three heroes of Beiyang have all been reused here. The artillery division arranged for Duan Qirui to serve as the chief officer, and Wang Shizhen as the logistics director of the headquarters to cooperate with Feng Guozhang's work. Feng Guozhang was the boss here besides Li Zhenhua and made him the chief of staff. Xiao Guoqiang is responsible for the construction of three infantry divisions and is the de facto army commander. Zhang Zuolin's special mn is in charge of two cavalry divisions, which is also the cavalry corps commander. Distribution of troop locations Li Zhenhua dispersed the troops: one infantry division in Dongying, one in Cangzhou, and the artillery division in Tianjin Xiaozhan. He also transferred the main forces of the two divisions from Fangcheng and enriched them into the six divisions of the New Army. The original regiment commander was promoted to deputy division commander and chief of staff, and they were concentrated near Tianjin. Li Zhenhua didn't even consider the issue of soldiers. Those original Qing army soldiers couldn't be transferred from there. All he asked was to recruit them again in various places. Through newspaper propaganda and notices posted in various government offices, a large number of young people soon entered the army. They entered the army. On the first day of the new army, the pigtails on the head were removed. The new army wanted to have a new look and it must not be the same as before. In addition, an infantry school is established. Each level from non-commissioned officers to officers must enter the school to study. The main courses for non-commissioned officers are the basic training of infantry, such as shooting, bombing, assassination, and formation. Senior officers must study battle command and battle. Organization, intelligence collection, coordination of various units and services, middle-level officers, that is, they need to know something about both superiors and subordinates, including how to handle the relationship between officers and soldiers, etc. Even the big guys in the military, such as Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Zhang Zuolin, have to learn the knowledge they have previously mastered. It won't work. They all need to have a new war concept, and the one currently used internationally won't work either. What they now focus on is the engineer attack in formations and the collision of troops on the plains with artillery fire. What they focus on is rough shooting, etc. All of these are not acceptable. They need to master and learn some practices from World War II. If an infantry attack fails to break through from the front, then we must consider flanking or outflanking the enemy. We must highlight the role of each soldier. We cannot attack and HN battles with large corps like those in the world now, and each soldier will be cannon fodder. In order for them to play their true role in the war, artillery must use precision strikes and be able to use "Barrage Xu Jin" to truly play the role of "King of War". Commanders must be good at seeing the overall situation, make full use of every weapon in their hands, that is, coordinate operations of various arms, and must accurately grasp the dynamics of the battlefield, which requires the use of reconnaissance and communication methods. They must be good at protecting their own logistics support work, and at the same time, they must be proactive. To cut off the enemy's logistical supply lines, one must have economic acumen to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. In the class for senior commanders, Li Zhenhua wrote down some battle cases from later generations for those senior cadres to learn from. Every senior cadre must be good at summarizing experiences and lessons, improving through learning and improving his own command skills through summarizing.??We must know that war is a highly variable matter, and new changes may occur at any time, and the main military commanders must be good at grasping the new changes and the emergence of favorable opportunities. At the same time, some necessary "brainwashing" education must be carried out in the army. First of all, there must be questions about who you are loyal to and why you are a soldier and why you fight. This is political work. Each grassroots unit has some cultural instructors whose task is to provide these educations to the soldiers. The military academy is also divided into subjects such as infantry, artillery, engineering, cavalry, reconnaissance, logistics, communications and other subjects. Li Zhenhua, the cavalry division Zhang Zuolin's station, after careful consideration, he asked them to put the military headquarters in Tongliao and Tianjin. In fact, it was like a retention post. The main force put them in G. Mainly after the Tongliao line, their main battlefield was to deal with them. Russian. He said to Zhang Zuolin: "After half a year, you have to give me two tiger and wolf divisions. You have to accumulate experience. Even if you divide your troops into squads and platoons, you have to have their own fighting style. Even if you come out with a soldier, you have to be the best." Soldier." "I want every soldier to be loyal to the commander-in-chief. These two divisions will not listen to anyone but the commander-in-chief." The other division commanders also said together: "Our army is. The Commander-in-Chief will not listen to anyone. Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief." Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "Our management method is different from that of the original Qing army. If our army is managed by someone else, no one will be able to command it. Motionless." Text Chapter 266 "Gift" from the King of Korea Text Chapter 266 The "gift" from the King of North Korea Chapter 266 The "gift" from the King of North Korea Chapter 266 The "gift" from the King of North Korea Li Zhenhua also transferred Xu Shichang, who had negotiated with him, to Tianjin, although he was overqualified. But I didn't expect that Xu Shichang was actually very happy, so he was asked to cooperate with Feng Guozhang's work. As the co-organizer of the New Army, he was responsible for the external work of all the troops, which meant that he was specifically asked to deal with the court. In the future, soldiers such as food and supplies cannot be regarded as belonging to Beiyang. They belong to the imperial court, so all expenses are handled by the imperial court. Although Li Hongzhang has solved many difficulties, the imperial court is not willing to let him have more hands. I was afraid that he would reach out again and now I was guarding against him. Hand dot d Although the imperial court asked Li Zhenhua to manage all this, they knew that the old man and the young man Li were in love, so they separated them. Li Hongzhang entered the Central Committee and became his prime minister, while the Governor of Zhili was replaced by a Manchu official. Ronglu is a popular person under the Queen Mother. Emperor Guangxu meant to let Li Zhenhua take the post of Minister of Commerce in Beiyang, but he asked Xu Shichang to take it. This would be beneficial to him. The money from Tianjin Customs must be used by the new army first. At the same time, the court would not suspect that he was arresting him. This made the Queen Mother and the Emperor feel more relieved about him. But what they didn't know was that Xu Shichang was already a die-hard supporter of Li Zhenhua at this time. Two-thirds of the Japanese compensation money was used to build the new army in Tianjin, and one-third was given to Li Zhenhua personally for his compensation for his dead soldiers and rewards for some officers and soldiers who fought. Li Zhenhua nominally used all of it. In addition to the construction of these six divisions, money was squeezed out from other customs and used for the six divisions in Tianjin. In addition, all the weapons produced by ourselves, whether in Fangcheng or Shanghai, made our military industrial enterprises a huge profit. Trains and ships continuously transported various weapons to Tianjin. Li Zhenhua actually used the money for part of his pension, and he was still stepping up the construction of the railway. In the past year or so of war in the north, the south has stepped up the construction of some short-distance routes, such as Shanghai to Nanjing. From Shanghai to Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Lanzhou, and Beijing to Zhangjiakou, construction has begun and will be profitable soon. In addition, Li Zhenhua¡¯s banks, automobiles, bicycles, telephones, telegraphs, inland shipping, ocean shipping, petroleum, textile and other industries have accumulated huge funds for him. Sheng Xuanhuai actively cooperates with Wang Chi in this regard, and is indeed a rare talent. After this battle, the Beiyang Navy lost a lot of warships. All the small and large ships were disabled. However, because the Fangcheng Navy captured five Japanese warships, they "lent" four to the Beiyang Navy plus the repaired "Dingyuan" The tonnage of the two ships "Zhenyuan" did not decrease but increased. Most of the naval officers were retained. With Li Zhenhua's help, the Beiyang Navy was able to go to sea again. Ding Ruchang's flagship is still "Dingyuan", but the two largest battleships in East Asia are now different from the original ones. The powerful main gun that was only on the front deck has now been added to the middle and rear parts. The turret cannons have also become twin-mounted. In the future, they will fire six rounds at a time, but now they have been changed to 280 mm. Although the caliber is smaller, the actual firepower is much stronger than before. Armor-piercing bullets have also been improved. It turns out that black S fire yo and picric acid are not effective. Black s fire yo is weak and cannot penetrate. However, picric acid is too sensitive and explodes as soon as it comes into contact with the enemy's warship. It cannot penetrate the depth of the opponent's warship at all. Now Li Zhenhua asked those scientific and technical personnel to improve the artillery shells. As a result, under Li Zhenhua's prompting, they came up with TNT bombs. Such bombs were easy to control and made the armor-piercing bombs a real killing weapon. The other four Japanese warships have now been renamed: "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Laiyuan", and "Chaoyuan". Now if the original Japanese combined fleet encounters them, they will be looking for death. The current balance of firepower and speed of the four ships has also been increased to an average speed of 21 knots. The armor has also been re-modified. The biggest change is that they have all added radios. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Guangxu directly gave Li Zhenhua a new title "Assistant Minister of Naval Affairs" without consulting him this time. This was not false, but a real supervisor. The reason was the same as the original Li Hongzhang. The reason was that they were all laymen. Li Zhenhua is the real expert. Besides, even if Li Zhenhua wants to rebel against him in the future, the warships will not be able to come. Besides, doesn't he still control so many armies? If his army alone is responsible for the rebellion, no one can deal with it. Since he is allowed to take charge of the army and the navy, it is no big deal. But Li Zhenhua knew that he was not a real naval talent, so he still had to rely on Ding Ruchang and his other naval officers, especially those who had returned from overseas. The Japanese who were negotiating with China have gone back and they have to go back and sort themselves out.The people from North Korea were about to go back, but they had to meet with Li Zhenhua again and had something to talk about, so Li Zhenhua asked them to come to Beijing and just talk about what they had to say. Soon the Koreans came by train. Among the three people, there was a woman. She could be said to be the most fragrant in the country. She had a melon-seed face, a cherry mouth, and curved eyebrows. Although she was wearing a loose Korean national costume, her figure also looked slender and toned. Li Zhenhua's two wives are both top-grade in appearance, but this one is not below them. They were wearing typical Korean national costumes, which made Li Zhenhua a little confused. However, the head of their delegation took out a letter from their king to Li Zhenhua and said to Li Zhenhua: "I have finished the matter, sir, and we need to do it now." Do you have anything else to do when you go back?" "Well, I don't have anything to do. You can just go back. I have already told your king about many things, so just do what we discussed." "Then I'll do it. I said goodbye and wished you well." After saying that, several people turned around and left, leaving only the beautiful woman standing there with her head lowered. Li Zhenhua didn't pay attention at first. He just asked some North Korean officials to be sent away. However, he read Li Xi's letter and Li Xi directly said in the letter: "Thank you Mr. Li for your care and help to me and my country. I can't repay you, so I selected a beautiful woman in the country for you." "Your Majesty, this is my heart. I hope you will accept it." Later, the woman was introduced and said that her name was Jin Xifeng and she was the cousin of the queen. It turned out that she had been studying in the UK. It turned out that she was very knowledgeable about the political management of North Korea. She didn't agree with her and was unwilling to come back. This time she heard the news about Japan's defeat in China and Korea and came back to take a look. After Li Xi and his wife worked for her, she knew that this Chinese General Li Zhenhua was a very good person. She only agreed to come to China to see the man after he cheated on her. Text Chapter 267 The Gift from the King of Korea (2) Text Chapter 267 Gift from the King of North Korea (2) Chapter 267 Gift from the King of North Korea (2) Chapter 267 Gift from the King of North Korea (2) After Li Zhenhua read the letter, he saw Jin Xifeng standing there with his head lowered Li Zhenhua I couldn't help but say in my heart: "This King of North Korea is so interesting. Such a big living person just gives it away and doesn't care if the person wants it or not. He doesn't ask for my opinion? They are not afraid that I will sell their people." "Since the person has arrived and the person who gave her away has already left, I have no choice but to leave her behind and then send her back later. So when I had nothing to say, I asked her, "What is your name, please?" " My concubine, Jin Xifeng, was entrusted by my king to come to serve you as a repayment of your kindness." She used the title commonly used by wives and concubines in China, and she spoke Chinese very well. It seems that she had already placed herself as a concubine of Li Zhenhua. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called herself "concubine". Li Zhenhua heard her words very logically and not in a domineering tone. In Li Zhenhua's impression, the princesses and concubines of North Korea were all very politically gifted. They also had a condescending tone in their speech, but Kim Xifeng's speech was not. I couldn't help but have a good impression of her, so I continued to ask: "I heard that you studied in the UK?" "I studied economics at the University of Birmingham in the UK." "That's great. From now on. Your country, North Korea, will work hard to build its economy after it is freed from the war. What you have learned will be of great use. " "It turns out that what I have learned is of little use in North Korea. Among the three powers of China, Russia and Japan, and now that Japan has defeated Korea and is already a dependent country of your Majesty, it will not have any development prospects if it is still governed by the original king." "Why don't you see it?" When seeking advancement, it is not enough to rely solely on others' recommendation. Just like your country, it developed in a small place in the south in a few years. If you hadn't led your subordinates to work hard, how could you have achieved such results? Economically, it is already a powerful country in the world. They have defeated the arrogant Japanese militarily. You are also ahead of the curve in some new technologies. Under your leadership, your people will definitely live a good life. However, our North Korea lags far behind. China. But" She started to change her words but stopped talking. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "This little girl is very scheming and the analysis is very reasonable. It seems that she still had something to say, but she stopped." So Li Zhenhua asked again: "Please continue to talk, what is the point?" " It is obvious that if you are still the original court, your efforts will be greatly restricted, and your development below will offend the interests of some people and inevitably conflict with some people. " "Ms. Jin. Please sit down." Listening to what she said, Li Zhenhua was very interested in her, asked her to sit down and poured her a glass of water. "My lord, you shouldn't have a concubine's seat here." "Hahahahaha" Li Zhenhua laughed and said to her: "We don't have so many restrictions here, whether it's military or some economic issues. You can talk freely. Of course, everyone is sitting down and talking. Why do you have to stand? You know, I don¡¯t want to talk to others with my head raised all the time." Jin Xifeng¡¯s face turned red and she looked even more charming. But she listened to Li Zhenhua's words and walked to the chair openly, sat down, picked up the cup and started drinking water. Li Zhenhua's eyes looked at her small hands. Although they looked smooth and delicate on the surface, Li Zhenhua saw the tiger's mouth of her hands. There are some calluses everywhere, which are definitely not caused by writing, but must be the result of long-term training with a weapon. It seems that this little girl's martial arts should be good. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but ask: "What kind of weapons does Miss like?" Jin Xifeng was immediately stunned by Master Li's eyes, but his eyes were poisonous enough. He actually saw that I knew martial arts. Since the master asked, he had to tell the truth: "I used to like knives, but now I also like pistols." When Li Zhenhua heard this, he laughed and took out a Browning pistol from his drawer: "Is this okay?" Jin Xifeng took the pistol. He took it and looked at it and said: "This is a copy of the product made in Belgium. Where is it made?" "This is produced in our Fangcheng." "It's amazing. The quality should be higher than the products in Belgium." "You try it. You'll know it right away." Jin Xifeng gestured towards the window and made an aiming motion, and said to the outside: "Prepare the target." Someone outside agreed.A sound. Li Zhenhua made an invitation gesture with his hand. Li Xifeng blushed and followed Li Zhenhua out. Li Zhenhua's residence here in Beijing was originally the house of a Qing government official. The man committed a crime and was punished. The house was taken back by the court and returned to the Clan's Mansion. Li Zhenhua never had a place to live in Beijing. Emperor Guangxu asked the Clan's Mansion to specially arrange it. There are four entrances to Li Zhenhua's house in this courtyard, and there aren't that many people there now. He only lives in the first two entrances and the back one is idle. However, there is a small square in the third courtyard. Li Zhenhua asked the guards to stay there. They also built their own shooting range. Li Zhenhua led Jin Xifeng to the shooting range. Most people use pistols to train with targets of 25 meters or 30 meters. However, Li Zhenhua and his men did not hit the 30-meter target. They were all above 50 meters. The station was fifty meters away from the target. Li Zhenhua was about to say to move the target to make it closer, but Jin Xifeng had already raised the pistol and didn't see how she aimed the gun. Then there was a gunshot. The soldiers on the side have already carried the target with seven rounds of bullets, one with eight rings and one with nine rings. The rest can be used as Li Zhenhua's guards if they have good marksmanship. Li Zhenhua and the people applauded together. Jin Xifeng's face was as red as cloth. Li Zhenhua said to her again: "You are showing us your sword skills." Jin Xifeng replied in a low voice: "I obey my order, please let them take my sword." Come on." Li Zhenhua nodded and a guard went out for a while. Jin Xifeng's luggage was brought in. Jin Xifeng handed the pistol to Li Zhenhua and then walked over and took out his double sword from a bag. The two knives are very special and have different blades. One long and one short, the blade is somewhat black and resembles the Tang Dao in ancient China. Wu Gang, who likes to use knives, saw with a gleam in his eyes that this woman's knives were extraordinary. Text Chapter 268 Jokes in the Bedroom Text Chapter 268 Jokes in the Bedroom Chapter 268 Jokes in the Bedroom Chapter 268 Jokes in the Bedroom Jin Xifeng held a knife in both hands and turned sideways towards Li Zhenhua, and then let out a sweet cry. The knives in both hands began to cut, chop, pick, and stamp all kinds of things. Her movements were quite satisfactory, and she finished her dance in just a few moments with her sword skills. Seeing that her body skills had gone through long-term practice, Li Zhenhua felt that she was a little more showy, but overall she still looked good. Text Jin Xifeng's face remained unchanged after sheathing the knife. The guards and Li Zhenhua applauded again. Jin Xifeng walked back gently and said to Li Zhenhua: "I have exposed myself to shame." Li Zhenhua said: "Yes, your knife and gun are both powerful. " He handed the pistol to Jin Xifeng and said: "You can use this pistol. From today on, you will be responsible for the management of some documents by my side. Feihu, please tell her some things that should be paid attention to. " Li Zhenhua replied. When he got to his house, he began to draw a sketch of a pistol. Later generations knew at a glance that it was an automatic pistol made in Germany. Some Chinese called it "box gun", some called it "Zilaide", and others. Other names for the "shell gun" include "big-bellied box", "twenty-ring gun", etc. This is the most imported and imitated pistol in China in later generations. There are nearly two million of them. Its main features are Chengyuan's fierce firepower and its large reloading capacity of twenty rounds. However, its shortcoming is that the barrel jumps greatly when firing. The second shot is difficult to aim continuously. However, it was not used in the Chinese Anti-Japanese War. Some people can hit a bullet as far as five hundred meters. If you use its box as a support butt, it can hit farther. The Kuomintang's military agents also use it as a sniper rifle. The gun they use can hit a thousand meters. You can see it. How powerful and powerful it is. Li Zhenhua knows that when shooting, this gun cannot be held down like other pistols, but it must be placed on a flat surface, that is, when shooting, the palm or the back of the hand is downward, and its beating can be used to quickly aim the next time. In reality, it is to aim and shoot from left to right with the palm down, using the beating movement of the pistol itself to aim, or using the opposite method, so that you can better control it. If you use it well, its power will be much greater. Now the long magazine of the gun drawn by Li Zhenhua can hold twenty rounds. It would be great if it could be used by grassroots commanders, companies and platoon leaders. It would be fine if it could be distributed to other arms with a short magazine. OK. Another type of pistol also appeared on the paper. It was the original Soviet "Tokarev" Type 33 pistol. The Type 54 pistol produced in our country was based on it. (The one I originally used was like this and everyone used to call it a tray.) This kind of pistol is lighter and has eight rounds of ammunition. It is much less powerful than the German-made one mentioned above and has a smaller range. It can be used for It is also good for some senior cadres to use for self-defense or for other arms. Now the bullets of both pistols are 6225mm, which can be used universally in the war (the original actual situation is that the caliber of the German pistol is 63 and the caliber of the Russian pistol is 62, which can also be used universally.) Send the drawings to the guards This requires the Weapons Research Institute to conduct trial production before distributing it to the entire army, so that they can start using it in future wars. After a busy day, Li Zhenhua looked at some teaching materials for the Tianjin New Army after dinner. He looked at the clock and saw that it was already past one o'clock. He yawned and stretched. He was about to get ready for bed. He walked through the outer living room and walked to the west room, taking off his clothes as he walked. As soon as I entered the mn, I threw my shirt on the back of the chair. The lights in the bedroom are usually dimmed, and there was nothing unusual today. I untied my belt, sat down on my lips, and bent down to untie my shoelaces. Suddenly, Li Zhenhua felt something cold pressed against his waist and a woman's voice said: "Who?" Although the voice was somewhat impressive, he couldn't remember who it was. Li Zhenhua has been very vigilant for many years, but since the guards are very good and there has never been any danger around him, he naturally relaxed his vigilance. But this sudden situation immediately made him nervous, and he didn't hesitate at all. He leaned down and pushed away what was probably the muzzle of the gun behind him. He made a fist with his right hand, turned around and punched the person behind him, and fell down on his lips to avoid the punch. But the man's gun was withdrawn to his side again. Li Zhenhua was not polite and pressed his left hand to the opponent's wrist holding the gun. His right elbow returned and pressed on the man's head. The man turned his head away from Li Zhenhua's heavy pressure. At this time, Li Zhenhua His elbow had already hit his lips, and at the same time, his whole body was lying on the man's body. He heard the woman shouting: "There are assassins coming." Li Zhenhua was shocked when he heard this. Isn't this a gift from the King of North Korea? In this moment, Li Zhenhua first smelled the faint fragrance of her body and then felt the soft body of the woman under him on his chest. Someone was already running over outside the window. Hearing that there was no movement in the house, a guard asked: "What's the matter, chief?" Li ZhenHua hurriedly said: "It's okay, you go and have a rest." This is because under the dim light, if it were daytime, people would definitely be able to see that his face was redder than red cloth. But at this time, Li Zhenhua was quite embarrassed. He had already reached his feet. If he moved, he would probably trip himself. The whole image was like a wolf bullying a girl. Li Zhenhua took a closer look and saw that it was not the "gift" given to him by the King of North Korea? In her eyes, Li Zhenhua was lying on her body naked. At this time, she also knew who was lying on her body. He didn't shout to her anymore. He just thought it was strange. Is this the habit of Chinese people? She had no choice but to close her eyes. Li Zhenhua admired the appearance of the North Korean beauty at close range. Jin Xifeng's breath rushed into Li Zhenhua's nose. He felt that his body was already a little heated. This image was too different. When he saw it, he hurriedly took a step back. After the wife finished packing, she went to the chair, took her coat and put it on. Turning on the light in the bedroom, Li Zhenhua sat on the chair and said to Jin Xifeng: "I'm sorry I almost hurt you." This is the truth. If Li Zhenhua's special forces methods were used against an ordinary person, he would really suffer. It didn't work, but Jin Xifeng was not harmed. We can't help but say that this girl has a lot of trouble. Jin Xifeng had also stood up at this time. She cleaned up her body and her face was still red. She said to Li Zhenhua: "It's my fault. Captain Sun asked me to take a rest here. I want to wait until the adults come." Your Excellency slept there, but since I haven't slept well for several days, I felt sleepy when I got here. Unexpectedly, I fell asleep and shot you, asking you to punish me." After saying this, Jin Xifeng knelt down on the ground.

Li Zhenhua's support made Jin Xifeng's arm shake in pain. Seeing that she was injured, he hurriedly said to her: "It's my fault for getting up and hurting you." He gently pushed Jin Xifeng's sleeve upwards and saw that Jin Xifeng's right wrist was already swollen. If Li Zhenhua fought with the enemy, it would be nice if he didn't break her arm. When Li Zhenhua saw this, he felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly went to see the doctor. Jin Xifeng hurriedly said, "It's already late, so don't disturb them. I'll be fine." When Li Zhenhua saw that it was too late, he went to his living room to get it. Yo, who suffered a bruise, carefully bandaged her and then let Jin Xifeng sleep on his lips. He wanted to go to the study to rest, but he was afraid that Jin Xifeng's injured area would not be comfortable at night, so he had to build a bunk on the ground to sleep. When Jin Xifeng saw it, he hurriedly said to him: "My lord, you should also sleep on the lips. Anyway, I am already yours. Why should I let you sleep underground? If you don't want to, then I should sleep on the ground." "Li Zhenhua saw that there was nothing he could do. There was nothing he could say, so he would just listen to her and just spend the night on the same lip. So Li Zhenhua fell asleep next to the lip. He didn't know whether Jin Xifeng did it intentionally or not. She kept leaning towards Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua was already far away and could hide. As a result, Jin Xifeng slept in Li Zhenhua's arms all night. Baidu search (typing chapters with hands) When Li Zhenhua woke up in the morning, he saw Jin Xifeng hugging Li Zhenhua while sleeping like a naughty child. One hand had already reached into Li Zhenhua's pajamas, and the lower leg was also pressing on Li Zhenhua's body. His face was full of With a smile. Li Zhenhua looked at her blankly. He wanted to kiss her, but he held back. Although Li Zhenhua was being held down by Jin Xifeng's legs at this time, he had already reacted. He had to get up quickly. She couldn't help it anymore. As soon as Li Zhenhua moved here, Jin Xifeng woke up. She felt that her posture was indeed not good. She immediately blushed again. When her legs moved, she touched the place where Li Zhenhua had already started to react. Her face became even redder. He had no choice but to keep his head buried in Li Zhenhua's chest. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to kiss Jin Xifeng. When he felt that Li Zhenhua was moving, Jin Xifeng raised his head to meet his mouth. When he saw Li Zhenhua getting up, the guards quickly helped him get water. After washing his face and seeing that there was no one else around him, Sun Feihu asked quietly: "What happened to the assassin last night, Chief?" Li Zhenhua blushed and whispered, "Don't ask about the child's involvement in things you shouldn't know." "I promise not to mix up." Okay." Sun Feihu said with a smile. "Go away." There was another person in the morning training, a gift from the North Korean king. She decided to learn from him because she felt that she was not as good as Li Zhenhua these days. Li Zhenhua cleverly handed her over to Sun Feihu and asked him to take care of the student. Jin Xifeng had already put on the uniform of the New Army. Without the Korean national costume, Jin Xifeng's outfit was different from yesterday. Her figure was tall and her curves were obviously convex. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "This is too sexy. If we stay together for a long time, something will definitely happen." But in this way, Jin Xifeng is no longer so restrained towards Li Zhenhua, and his personality has also changed. I have to be cheerful. However, Li Zhenhua is still very satisfied with such a secretary. She does her job very well, which makes Li Zhenhua feel that this girl is much more convenient than using some young men. But Li Zhenhua also began to summarize himself. After arriving in this world, I have become more open-minded about men and women. Although I already have two wives, I still accept all comers. It seems that this is not a good thing. The preparations for dealing with the enemies in the north are now under the control of Qingzheng Fu. Next is the issue of the south. Zhang Xinghua¡¯s Annan Rescue, Siamese Self-Defense Forces, Laos, Cambodian National Army, etc. Li Zhenhua¡¯s request to Zhang Xinghua is to strengthen military forces in these countries. It turned out to be due to the consideration of a war with Japan. The war did not allow them to take the initiative to attack the enemy in order to avoid making too many enemies. It just showed that they had the existence of these forces. Now there are also troops in Indonesia who are also a force that cannot be ignored. Wei Xiaohu has now joined forces with the original "Lanfang Republic". They have made contact with the armed forces resisting the Dutch. Under Li Zhenhua's instructions, they have raised the flag of the Lanfang Republic. They have occupied most of the surrounding islands in Indonesia. As long as there is no one there yet, put a piece of cement or The stele made of stone says "Land of China" on it. Wei Xiaohu¡¯s troops have reached 50,000 to 60,000, of which the main force is 25,000.?In other words, two infantry divisions with more than 30,000 local armed forces and a coast guard force. As long as the areas not occupied by the Dutch are all ours, they also encroached on the Dutch areas and squeezed out the Dutch. Went to a small place. Although Li Zhenhua often praised Wei Xiaohu for his good work, Wei Xiaohu always asked Li Zhenhua for people to help him manage. Li Zhenhua eventually became popular without you, and he was an "emperor". If he wanted people, he would train them himself. But You need to transport a large amount of gold and silver into the country and at the same time shift the focus of your work from the military aspect to the economic aspect. The country needs large quantities of grain, spices, rubber and various mineral deposits. In addition, your next focus is to consider the problem of Malaysia. You must surround the British all around and create some small troubles for the British within the scope of your ability. Secondly, you must infiltrate the Spanish-occupied Philippines and master their control. Intelligence prepared to take the Philippines into his own hands at the right time. Now that the situation is good, Japan has been defeated and it is necessary to increase military operations. Li Zhenhua does not want to wait for the other party to attack him before counterattacking like the novels written by the great gods. Now he has to take the initiative to attack. It is the best defense. After all, in the future, we must expand our territory and strive for a larger living space for future generations. If we don¡¯t work hard now and let future generations scold us, it won¡¯t work. We must get rid of the current disordered environment. It¡¯s hard to say what to do if you want to fight for the best interests of your country and wait until everything stabilizes. The military forces of these four countries must at least have one division or more. Their troops must become mountain jungle troops and will be specially used to deal with the French and British troops in these countries. Text Chapter 270 Tibet is a good place Text Chapter 270 is a good place Chapter 270 is a good place Chapter 270 is a good place In North Korea, Li Biao has arranged for Li Biao's troops to organize the Koreans to form troops there. Each of the north and the south will establish a force. All these newly formed troops In other words, the composition of personnel who are friendly to China means that they must absolutely obey the orders of the Chinese. Even if they are Koreans, they must obey the orders of the Chinese and cannot obey the orders of others. The Korean royal family can only do some superficial work. The king of North Korea, Li Xi, has long been determined to follow him. Besides, this world was conquered by Li Biao. People must obey Li Biao. Li Zhenhua has already told Li Biao to organize a military and political government of their own. Now North Korea is between China and Japan. After he happened to take action in a vacuum zone, the military and political officials took orders directly from Li Zhenhua. The troops in Fangcheng have been almost emptied, leaving only one regiment to protect key enterprises there. Most of the other troops have been transferred abroad, to Dongying and Tianjin. Now Li Zhenhua's total military strength is: six divisions in Tianjin (of which there are two divisions in Tongliao), four mountain jungle divisions in Southeast Asia, two divisions in Batavia, plus two divisions in North Korea, a total of fourteen divisions Among them, six divisions were paid for by the Qing government. Six divisions in Southeast Asia and South Asia were responsible for the troops in North Korea. Li Zhenhua's actual burden was only part of the investment in scientific research. This way my burden will be much lighter. However, the investment in this aspect is huge. The Institute of Physics wants to develop telegraphs and telephones. The Institute of Physics wants to develop products. In addition, there is no need for money in weapons, steel, ships, oil, trains, cars, airplanes, etc. The most important thing is railways. That's as much as it can be used. Now even Lanzhou has proposed to build a railway. In the eyes of the British, the situation in Asia was controlled by Britain, Russia, and China. But now the situation in Asia has undergone great changes. The originally weak Qing Dynasty suddenly became powerful overnight, which directly threatened the country. their interests in Asia. This is what they don't want to see, but the fact is that no one has the ability to change it. However, as the world's leader, Britain is not willing to continue like this. They want to go against the trend and suppress China. This is their ultimate goal. Especially the Japanese are their loyal lackeys. They are used to attack China. They were restrained, but they were suddenly beaten down by the Chinese. As the masters, they were very unhappy. They also wanted to find some face for themselves and the Japanese. Beating the dog also depends on the master. These Chinese people are too disrespectful to the world boss. Then they must find it back. After the defeat of Japan, although China agreed that their interactions with any third country must be known through the Chinese government, they still secretly contacted the British to try to get help from the British. They now want the British to help them take back the Hokkaido occupied by Russia. The Japanese have this temper. The British are not nio. They want to ask the British. The Chinese want to help them deal with Russia, but they are not active. Actively cooperated. However, the British are not attentive to the Japanese demands because their main target is the Chinese. Once they hurt Russia, they will influence Russia to put pressure on the Chinese in the north. But the Japanese must take back Hokkaido. Don't you think so? To support us, we have to look to the Chinese for support. Therefore, Britain lost points in the eyes of the Japanese here. The Japanese had no choice but to continue to beg the Chinese for help in regaining Hokkaido. China's purpose is very clear, that is, we can support you with some food, but we cannot support other things such as new weapons and the like. No money, no arms, no military command. Help because the Japanese are directing the war, which is not called commanding, but playing games with the lives of Japanese soldiers. In the end, the Japanese agreed with China's opinions with reservations, that is, they would not ask the Chinese to assist in commanding the recovery of Hokkaido. They had to rely on their own strength to do it. To take back Hokkaido, the food must be given by the Chinese because they no longer had much food, so they borrowed a batch of food from China in the form of a loan. So Japan began to make preparations to regain Hokkaido, and when it was ready, it could start a war with Russia. The Queen of England at this time was Queen Victoria. She lived for 82 years and was the queen for 71 years. She was the longest reigning queen in British history. She was born on May 24, 9 years and died on January 22, 1901. His reign of 30 years to 1901 was much longer than that of Kangxi and Qianlong in China's Qing Dynasty. She is the first British monarch to be called the "Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and the "Queen of India". She is also known as the "European Granny". By 1895, the seventy-six-year-old "European Granny" had long since left politics behind. The British cabinet has discussed the use of "grandma" recently.At this time, they decided to take action against China. At this time, they saw that the Japanese dog was of little use at this time and gave up for the time being. However, they still had to find some face with China before they sent out the navy. It is too far and inconvenient. In addition, the Chinese navy has just defeated the Japanese navy and their morale is at a high period. It would be unwise to deal with them at this time. So they decided to use the army in China, and the area in China was their original idea. The area was also the weakest defense area of ??the Qing Dynasty, but it was a good place. Their plan was to occupy the condescending area and then move eastward to capture Sichuan and then Control the Lianghu region, the main grain-producing area in the heart of China. And if they want to start, they have to go through India. For many years, they have been trying to find ways to enter China. However, due to the complex terrain and the strong resistance of the people, they have not been able to enter China. However, they have continued to attack in southern Tibet. Carry out infiltration and invasion. This time they began to gather forces on the Indian side again to prepare for the invasion. Intelligence officers in India observed India's massing of troops on the Chinese border and immediately reported the situation to the headquarters. After Li Zhenhua saw the situation, he first reported the information to the court and asked Beijing to notify the local government to prepare for war. At the same time, he wanted to My own "security team" from the south took me away. Text Chapter 271 Border Garrison Text Chapter 271 Frontier Garrison Chapter 271 Frontier Garrison Chapter 271 Frontier Garrison Li Zhenhua immediately ordered Zhang Xinghua to explain his work in Nanyang. Originally, Liu Yongfu was closer, but because Liu Yongfu was not familiar with the new style of play, then It's better to let Zhang Xinghua do the fighting. Zhang Xinghua led his troops into southern Tibet to prepare. Does Li Zhenhua know some of the situations of later generations, such as the "McMahon Line" and the "1941 Line"? His nonsense is that what is ours is ours, is the other 90,000 square kilometers ours? Hehe, it can¡¯t be yours anymore anyway. He ordered Zhang Xinghua that as long as there is evidence, it is our territory. As long as there are Chinese people there, it is our territory. You must drive the British out and build permanent fortifications there so that this fact cannot be changed for generations. If the British army dares to invade, they must be resolutely pushed back. At the same time, Tang Jiong was notified that India was going to use troops against us on the border between China and Myanmar Province, so that he could make some preparations for military logistics. At the same time, he sent two of his heavyweights, namely the Dragon of the North among the Three Heroes of the Beiyang ( Feng Guozhang, who watched Wang Shizhen's Dog of the North, let Wang Shizhen do the logistics work of the army, while Feng Guozhang asked him to participate in more actual battles to focus on accumulating and summarizing experience. Both of them were one of Yuan Shikai's most respected generals during the Republic of China. Later Germans called Wang Shizhen the Dragon of the North, and some called the Eye of the North and Feng Guozhang the Dog of the North. The so-called dog is inferior to the dragon in the eyes of the Chinese, but in the eyes of the West, the dog is the most loyal partner of mankind. The three heroes of Beiyang are all in his own hands. As a person who has the most knowledge about artillery, it is very appropriate for Duan Qirui to be an artillery division commander first. At the same time, the most important person among the three of them, Feng Guozhang and Li Zhenhua, will Let him serve as the Chief of General Staff in the future. If Feng Guozhang goes to observe the war and Wang Shizhen, let him first manage the logistics work there. If possible, he will be the future Chief of General Logistics and General Secretary. The Minister of Logistics appeared in the southern land at a hot time. Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen were both from the north, which made them a little bit overwhelmed. As soon as they arrived in Kunming and met with Tang Jiong, they immediately began to arrange all the supplies needed for the war. They first put forward two points to Tang Jiong. One is that the roads must be smooth. The other is that the communications must be smooth. Without these two things, there is no problem. Domestic production is no problem, but the main reason is that the transportation conditions are too poor. It originally came from Yunnan. Transportation to Myanmar relies on the Tea Horse Road. Now that the war is about to start, it will delay things if we continue to rely on those small roads. After seeing the situation on the spot, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen immediately put forward their ideas to Tang Jiong. Transport materials to the front in advance and accumulate a certain base before starting the war. Second, we must build a channel that can pass large vehicles. Otherwise, even if we win the war, we will not be able to hold on here because our roads are not as good as the other side. Some small villages and towns have been formed. We only have one or two small villages with more than ten households. That is not enough. To build the border well, we need the army and the cooperation of the local people. This involves future immigration. After reading the reports of Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen, Tang Jiong said: "The problem is to look at it comprehensively. We have been there for such a long time and have not been able to consider these issues. We must make overall arrangements in the future. Now we will implement the first two The point is that the prerequisite for starting transportation is to start repairing the road sections that need to be repaired immediately. "Li Zhenhua also agreed with their idea and they acted quickly. So the horse teams on the original Tea Horse Road began to be busy at the same time as the road construction workers. The troops and troops also marched into the deep mountains and dense forests. After receiving the order from the headquarters, Zhang Xinghua immediately mobilized troops. First, he mobilized elite troops from the Siam Self-Defense Army, Laos, Cambodian National Army and Annan Rescue and immediately concentrated to form a powerful fist. Order all relevant guerrilla groups to garrison at the border with Myanmar. Once the British army goes to war with us, we will immediately launch a guerrilla war against them. If we don't turn Myanmar upside down, it would be very sorry for them. Zhang Xinghua's troops were quickly assembled. Zhang Xinghua had been frustrated in recent years. The battle in the north was in full swing, but he was just squatting in the south. Li Zhenhua didn't let him fight. He was just training his own troops. This made him very angry. Unhappy when he heard that the British were going to be taught a lesson this time, he was so happy that his soldiers saw his joke. He said to those soldiers: "Don't even think about laughing at me. I will let you prepare for it when the time comes." Team." He learned this skill from his teacher and no one dared to laugh at him. Zhang Xinghua led the troops first to Yunnan to meet up with Feng Guozhang, and then the two led the team into Laorou Mountain in southern Tibet (now part of Myanmar), and then stationed in southern Tibet. They collected evidence locally according to what Li Zhenhua said.Some local former Chinese people immediately told them where there were stone monuments erected by the past, where Chinese coins had been found, where there were small villages of Chinese mountain people, etc. They talked with the local people. They built some simple fortifications at the forefront of their country. Although it was very troublesome to transport cement and other things from Yunnan, he knew that this was his own land. If he lost it, he would let future generations do it. If you want to prevent future generations from scolding you, you must improve your own border defense. Then they need to build and protect this place well. It is impossible to build simple roads without roads. First, they rely on this road to transport their military supplies, and it is also for the convenience of local people. In the future, some people can be mobilized to come here to do business. If the army is stationed here, there will be countless business opportunities for several years. If there are no roads, people will still have to go to convenient places, and they may become citizens again. At the same time, he also sent people to the other side to conduct reconnaissance and understand the enemy's actions. The young man dispatched was a Dai warrior named Yanlong. He was the commander of the reconnaissance company and also a sharpshooter. He pointed his rifle wherever he wanted to hit within 300 meters. He led two soldiers dressed as hunters and went to the front. Anyway, there were Dai people there. There are also many languages ????that are no problem. Text Chapter 272 Reconnaissance Text Chapter 272 Reconnaissance Chapter 272 Reconnaissance Chapter 272 Reconnaissance Yanlong led his reconnaissance team and they only walked forward for two days before they discovered the British team. In fact, it was not the real British team, although they were hanging up. The Union Jack flag of the British team is the enemy. This is just their mercenary. Yanlong and the others hid aside and observed them carefully with telescopes. It took them half a day to finally observe them clearly. The enemy's top officer is a colonel. The army here is about the strength of a regiment, which is mainly infantry. There are also some artillery. Their cannons are placed there. You can see clearly. There are 24mn in total, and the caliber of the cannons is not large. The largest is also It's the 85-gun used by the infantry. The rest are all 37-guns with smaller calibers. Their direct-shock guns are of little use to us. Besides, the British team's shooting requirements at that time were rough shootings instead of the precise shootings required by Li Zhenhua and others. There were many enemies coming and going. It was estimated that there should be other troops on both sides of them, so Yanlong asked the two soldiers to go to the east side while he went to the other west side. After discussing the situation, both sides went back to report. . The two soldiers were a little worried and said to Yanlong: "Company Commander, you are not safe alone, why don't we go with you. Chapter d)" "Don't talk nonsense. We must know as much as possible about the enemy's situation and obey orders. "The two soldiers had no choice but to go to one side. Yanlong himself went to the other side. He paid attention to avoid the enemy's marching team. On the way, he also encountered an enemy's transport team. All of this did not escape Yanlong's eyes. Finally, he was able to escape again. He saw another enemy station. There was also about a regiment and a battalion of artillery. The connection between them should be a telephone, because he saw an enemy telephone line leading to the enemy's headquarters. The people here are all British troops, which is the enemy's main force. After understanding the situation, Yanlong was about to go back, but he didn't want to go back like this. He wanted to capture another prisoner, so he squatted on the side of the road again and several soldiers passed by. Yanlong didn't make a move, since he was waiting. If you want to capture prisoners, then capture valuable ones. Go back and capture a few soldiers who are boring. A small group of Indian logistics soldiers passed by and he still didn't touch Yanlong. At this time, he felt a little regretful that he didn't capture those people. Suddenly there was the sound of galloping horse hooves on the road. It sounded like two horses. When he heard it, he was happy and it was them. The one riding the horse was an official. After a while, two officers on horseback ran over on the road. The officer on the horse looked like a colonel. The one with two stripes and two stars was a lieutenant colonel. The one next to him was also a second lieutenant. The officers were all British because their skin was white and their hair was white. Yanlong, who was Huang S, immediately started to prepare. He picked up his rifle: I don't want the second lieutenant, I want the senior officer. Yanlong's sight caught the British second lieutenant officer's head, and there was a "bang" sound. The gun went off and a hole appeared on the second lieutenant's forehead. The second lieutenant just swayed on the horse and then fell under the horse, and the war horse also stopped. The lieutenant colonel next to him was frightened. He didn't know what to do, but his horse was frightened and ran forward immediately. However, the sharpshooter's bullet flew out of the gun again. The horse fell immediately and the officer on the horse fell. He was thrown more than ten feet away and fell to the ground motionless. Yanlong thought to himself, don't fall to death. If you die, the wait will be in vain. He looked to both sides and saw no one coming. He immediately rushed to the officer and stretched out his hand. He poked his nose in front of him and was breathing out his breath. No problem. He looked again and looked at the horse. It was already dead and its front legs had been broken by him. Yanlong looked back and saw that the second lieutenant's horse was still wandering around the body of its owner. Yanlong ran over and searched the officer's body. There were documents in the satchel and some food, bread and sausages. He took the second lieutenant's body and searched it. He put the weapons and satchel on his body, dragged the dead body to the side of the woods, and simply dealt with the scene. Yanlong then pulled the war horse over and moved the injured horse to one side. At this time, the British officer had woken up, but because of the heavy fall, his head hurt. He held his head with both hands and asked. Yanlong: "Who are you?" Yanlong couldn't understand English, but he knew French because of his many years of dealing with French people, so he asked in French: "What did you say?" This time Yingguan understood that he could French So he asked in French: "Who are you?" Yanlong said: "You should know who I am." "I don't know." "What are you here for?" Hearing Yanlong's words He understood this sentence and understood that this was Chinese, but how could the Chinese come here? This is just the so-called disputed area between China and Myanmar. The intelligence did not say that there were Chinese troops here. He didn't understand. At this time, Yanlong ignored him and just said to him: "Hand over your weapons." The officer had no choice but to throw his pistol and dagger over. Yanlong went up and used his own dagger to kill him.He cut off a piece of cloth from the military uniform and tied his hands behind his back. He also tore off a piece of cloth and made a looper, which he put around the Yingguan's neck. Yanlong helped the Yingguan onto the horse and sat on it. He pulled the looper with his hand behind him and said to him: "Be honest, if you accidentally fall, you will be dead." The officer had no choice but to say: "Be honest, be honest." The two rode northward. go. Yanlong talked to him again: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, where is the food you brought? I'm hungry." That British officer was so angry. Can I take care of you when you're hungry? But he didn't dare to offend him so he had to say to him: "It's in the satchel." Yanlong took out his rice from his satchel and started eating it himself. He didn't forget to ask: "Lieutenant Colonel, aren't you hungry?" You just got hurt and you are not in the mood to eat, so I will eat more for you." Yanlong said that he was eating alone and ignored him. Back at the camp, Zhang Xinghua was getting angry. When he saw the rock dragon coming back, he stopped and stopped scolding him. It turned out that the two soldiers had already returned. They saw another enemy camp. The Gurkha army brought back two prisoners, but they were of little use. However, Yanlong did not come back. Zhang Xinghua's temper was anxious. He was afraid that Yanlong would be in danger. He got angry. Feng Guozhang was just persuading him. Now that he saw that Yanlong was back and brought back a lieutenant colonel, he said to Yanlong: "I will settle the score with you later. Go to dinner first and report the situation to me." Text Chapter 273 Preparation Text Chapter 273 Preparation Chapter 273 Preparation Chapter 273 Preparation Yanlong patted his belly with his hand and said: "I have already eaten, chief." "Who cares about your food if you talk crazy." Yanlong pointed at that with his hand. Lieutenant Colonel: "This officer, sir, is treating you to a feast of pure British flavor." All the officers and soldiers around him laughed and said, "Good boy, let's see how I deal with you when you eat alone." After that, he walked towards the headquarters. Long hurriedly followed him in and reported to him. After that, he handed over the lieutenant colonel's document package. Feng Guozhang took it and looked at it carefully. Yanlong said again: "Let the British lieutenant colonel report to you." Zhang Xinghua said : "The guards brought the lieutenant colonel in." The British lieutenant colonel was brought in. The wound on his head had been re-bandaged by the medical staff. Feng Guozhang acted as an interpreter and sat down while pointing to the stool opposite him and said to him. : "Sit down." The lieutenant colonel was fed up with Yanlong's anger along the way. When he saw the senior commanders of China, he immediately shouted to Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xinghua: "I protest that you are illegally detaining me. I have not entered the territory of your country. You can't just detain me." A guard punched him and said, "Be honest, don't show disrespect." The British lieutenant colonel didn't understand at all, but the guard's punch was. Let him shut his mouth. Zhang Xinghua said: "Whose country is this if not ours? This has long been our vassal state. You sent troops to occupy it. Why can't we come to our own vassal state? Cooperate honestly with my questions and I can give you preferential treatment. If you don't obey, I will You won't be able to see the sun tomorrow." Feng Guozhang translated Zhang Xinghua's words to him and the boy muttered a few words and stopped talking. Zhang Xinghua signaled Feng Guozhang to start interrogating him, so Feng Guozhang began to ask him his name, unit number, and mission here. At this time, the lieutenant colonel also answered all the questions honestly and politely. His name was Clausen, a lieutenant colonel and logistics officer of the 4th Infantry Division of the British Expeditionary Force. They came here to invade China. They had just returned from When African countries come to some plateaus and the equipment in the severe cold areas has not yet arrived, if it does, they will start to use force against China because they know that in the east of this country, China has an army that is particularly capable of fighting. The arrogant Japanese army is They were defeated by them, but they couldn't do it here, especially in southern Tibet. The central government of the Qing Dynasty couldn't control it at all. The local government didn't have the ability to occupy it themselves, so it was nothing big. Their troops are composed of a regiment of the Indian army, a regiment of the Gurkha army, and a regiment of the British native army. The Indian army is near the front, followed by the Gurkha army, and the British army is at the rear. Their plan is to have the Indian army take the lead first, and then use the Khalkha troops if they are unable to do so. Finally, the British local army will come forward only when it is really unable to do so. The British have always been like this when fighting wars. They are not the first to rush forward. They all use money to fight the war. But this time they paid more attention to China and they sent a British native regiment. But other troops are also completely controlled by them. The senior officers are all British, and the grassroots officers and soldiers are all mercenaries or colonial troops. They have plenty of people in those places and we in the UK have plenty of money, so we can benefit each other. Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xinghua studied the enemy's situation with several cadres. The sand table on the table marked the enemy's garrison situation. Everyone discussed together. The second regiment commander, Warrior Long, said: "Commander, why don't we take the initiative to surround them and fight them for the last time?" Okay." Wang Meng, the leader of the first regiment under Zhang Xinghua, said: "Commander, if you want to carry out an ambush, just use one of my regiments. I promise to let them all stay with me." Gao Daqing, the commander of the third regiment, was unwilling: "Wang. If the leader is not interested enough and wants to be alone, then what are we going to do? Why don't we just beat them so that everyone can have something to eat?" Yanlong said again. Although he is a young official, he is famous for his ability to fight: " If the division commander goes over, he must deal with their heavy artillery first, otherwise our troops may suffer heavy casualties." Zhang Xinghua stood up and knocked on the table with his hand and said to everyone, "Why don't we go over and fight now. We know that we and the British are in a disputed area now. Let¡¯s not rush over. We will let them come over and let them provoke a war. Then it is time for us to teach them a lesson. Then it will be easier for us to talk, right?¡± Officers participating in the meeting? We all nodded in agreement with Zhang Xinghua's words. As long as they provoke a war, we will fight however we want. Now we are just guarding our territory. If they come over, it will be a war of aggression. We must fight back. If we fight back, there will be no restrictions. We can fight however we want. Now I have decided that the enemy will onlyAs soon as we start fighting, we will quickly rush into the enemy's rear group. You are responsible for the British troops and you are responsible for eating them. If they are defeated, you must capture more prisoners. Those British are very valuable and we can exchange them for silver. Second Regiment, you are responsible for dealing with the enemy's Gurkha Regiment. Don't kill too many of their people. Just scare them into surrendering and then touch the Chairman and let them go home. As long as they don't become enemies with us. Indian soldiers are the least willing to pay, so we should beat them to death. Let them never dare to have thoughts about us in the future. You are responsible for the third group. They will punish them to death and put some of them back. The soldiers of the reconnaissance company sent people to monitor the British team on the opposite side every day to keep track of their actions. At first, the British army also searched for the two missing officers, but later it seemed that they were judged to have been killed by wild beasts. Animals won't eat what they have on them, right? Some people are self-righteous and say that they will let the local people pick it up. In this way, things will be perfect, so they have not carried out any major military operations, nor have they. Going up to the squadron opposite, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that the Chinese would not take the initiative to come here. After a period of preparation, the Japanese redeemed the soldiers captured by the Chinese. Their army is now the most powerful in the world. In the face of the Russian invasion, everything they have now has been covered up, and the main problem now is covered up. It's just that the Russians invaded and asked the Japanese people to tighten their belts and it would be over. There are no ships. The ships from China that brought food are still there. Then continue to borrow them. Weapons are not provided by the Chinese, but the weapons of the domestic divisions are still there. The emperor, the spiritual pillar of Japan, made a statement. A speech inspired the warlike instincts of the Japanese and a large number of troops drove north. If you don¡¯t take advantage of the Chinese, then take it back from the Russians. Everyone¡¯s views are the same when it comes to resisting foreign enemies. So the Russo-Japanese War did not unfold on Chinese soil as it originally did, but on Japanese soil. All this was caused by Russia's aggression. Text Chapter 274 The Magical Land Text Chapter 274 Magical Land Chapter 274 Magical Land Chapter 274 Magical Land The battle between them was lackluster. Although Japan was defeated in the war against China, they were still very brave on their own land. The Russian army launched wave after wave of charging human sea tactics, which was the mainstream combat method in the world at that time. The Japanese were fighting to defend their homeland. The Russian Expeditionary Force is their elite division. Those fierce Cossack cavalry are a nation that lives exclusively for fighting. Under the rule of the Tsar, they do not have to farm or pay taxes to the superiors. They just fight for the Tsar. Boys are born It was the soldiers of the Tsar who launched a counterattack against the Japanese army. Their sabers flashed and heads were cut off one by one. But the tenacious fighting spirit of the Japanese is not to be underestimated. They used long-distance shooting at the Cossack cavalry to continuously kill and injure their cavalry. The battle between them lasted for three days and three nights. After the Russian cavalry was killed in large numbers, their The counterattack weakened. Neither side used artillery too much. They fought with human sea tactics. Russia was a serfdom country and they were very poor and did not have many artillery. Most of Japan's artillery was lost in China. In the end, the battle between them ended with Russia. The army's defeat ended because the ferocity of the Russian army could not defeat the tenacious struggle of the Japanese. At the same time, they were fighting on the outside and across the sea. Their logistics failed. They finally withdrew from Hokkaido, Japan. Nogi Nogi, Koy Gentaro, Kawaroku and others won the victory through bloody battles. They returned in triumph and dispatched an army of 150,000 people. Less than 50,000 people came back. Russia's 100,000 people only returned, but less than 30,000 people. The battle loss reached ten to seven, which can be said to be a lose-lose situation for both sides. Seeing this result, the Japanese Emperor had to smile bitterly. He will now start work in accordance with the agreement between China and Japan. There is no need for disarmament. Three hundred thousand troops were lost in Korea and China, and one hundred thousand people were lost with Russia. The war cost them another 100,000 people. Including the troops in some places, they totaled more than 100,000 people. Emperor Meiji called a meeting of his generals. But Dashanyan and Shanxian Youpeng did not come, but soon someone came to report that the two of them had committed suicide by caesarean section at their own homes. Why? The simple reason is that they were defeated, but as juniors, Nogi Nogi Nogi, Koyang Gentaro, and Kawaroku were victorious. This left them no place to put their faces, so they committed suicide in their own homes to apologize to the emperor and the people. And those young Nogi Nogi Nogi, Koy Gentaro, Kawaroku and others came to attend the emperor's imperial meeting. They asked for more troops, but when the emperor told them that there was a "disarmament" agreement between China and Japan, several of them refused. They disagree because they feel that the Chinese will not be able to fight better than the Russian army. Their tail has been raised after this victory. They say that Japan's failure in China was due to the unfavorable command of the troops by General Yamagata Aritomo and Oyama Iwa. The resulting Japanese army was invincible in the world. The Emperor of Japan was furious when he saw these two arrogant guys. My navy is gone. The first and second armies were either killed or wounded or captured. Now there are still capable troops in Japan. The economic situation does not allow Japan to bear a large number of troops. You just won the battle with Russia, but the Chinese still transported food. If the Chinese had not transported food, the domestic economy would have collapsed. I already have a headache. What are you still doing here? So the extremely troubled Emperor reprimanded the three of them. The two blind guys left unhappy. Early the next morning, news came that Y Gentarou and Kawaroku had also committed suicide by caesarean section in their own homes. . After hearing the news, Xiaofei understood in his heart that his subordinates did a good job and their hands and feet were very clean. No one said anything, but there was only Nogi Nogi Nogi. This thing is not a good thing. I have to find a way to get him in the future. " Just commit suicide". Now that no one is in his ears to talk about going to war with China, the Emperor immediately begins to shrink the army. In view of Japan's economic situation, Xinghua Group gave Japan a loan so that they can operate the state machine. From now on, Japan can only live under China's loan. From now on, Japan will be inseparable from Xinghua Company's support no matter what. Once the loans are stopped, Japan's economy will also stop. Japan's economy is very difficult, but it is impossible not to pay China's war reparations. The current Japanese emperor is very worried. China's Xinghua Group has arranged an opportunity for them to export labor to China to solve the problem of mass unemployment. First, Young and strong people and women can also do it. Because Li Zhenhua knew that the Japanese women made a huge contribution to solving their country's difficulties. They can go to ChinaLabor services were exported to compensate for war reparations. In addition, the British were also quietly taking action. They asked the Japanese government to allow Japan to send their troops as mercenaries to participate in the British war against the Boers in South Africa. The British had a good abacus. Originally, they wanted Japan to fight the Chinese in southern Tibet, but the Japanese refused. They did not want to fight the Chinese anymore, so they would rather travel across the ocean to South Africa to fight the Boers. After a period of preparation, the British finally completed the transportation of their supplies. The southern Tibetan region of China is a magical land. The white snow can be seen everywhere on the plateau all year round. However, in this southern Tibetan region, underneath the drop of several kilometers, there is a There are green s everywhere. The current season happened to be the time for troops to be deployed. After a while, the snow melted and it became inconvenient for the large troops to move. So their troops began to mobilize frequently. The observation posts reported the enemy's movements. Zhang Xinghua ordered the troops to enter a state of emergency and prepare to meet the enemy. Prepare. Taking advantage of this period, Zhang Xinghua's army also obtained a large amount of military supplies, food, artillery shells, bullets, and various equipment, which were continuously transported to the front line. The Chinese side dispatched a variety of transportation vehicles for transportation. People carried horses and donkeys on their shoulders. The ships also carried modern cars and airships. Although there were only more than 10,000 troops on the front line, more than 30,000 migrant workers participated in transportation alone. Wang Xin's caravan played a huge role here and at the same time a simple road was built. This is a good start for stabilizing the country's prosperous border production and improving the lives of the people in the border areas. I believe that the roads will be better in the future. It will be better if a few more small villages and towns are built on the borders. Text Chapter 275 Hidden Soldiers Text Chapter 275 Hiding Troops Chapter 275 Hiding Troops Chapter 275 Hiding Troops Because the entry of a large number of troops brought great local demand, many businessmen came here to carry out commercial activities. Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xinghua settled them in a safe place after discussion. The businessmen were very impressed by the protection and at the same time allowed the procurement work of some troops to go to them specifically. They all said that they would continue to stay and contribute to the construction of their country even after the war was over. The vanguard of Tibetan soldiers sent by the government also arrived here. This vanguard was only a small number of more than 200 people. The Tibetan troops that have just arrived are all very simple. Although their weapons are not good, they have very high morale to defend their homeland. Those Tibetan soldiers are wearing various leather robes or in their hands. The original matchlock gun was mounted on the front and had a fire mn on the back. It held a fire stick in its hand and after aiming it, it lit the fire mn with the fire stick and fired. However, the firing speed was far behind. It is incomparable to modern rifles. When Zhang Xinghua saw them like this, he immediately decided to change their equipment, so he brought 200 rifles made in Fangcheng. When the Tibetan soldiers got the new rifles in their hands, the Tibetan soldiers were very happy. Someone immediately started to treat them. With help and guidance, these soldiers are all naturally good hunters. They make a living by hunting. Once the weapons are in their hands, they can use them immediately. With the help and guidance of the soldiers, they quickly master the weapons in their hands. Although there is a language barrier between the two parties, the look in their eyes shows that they trust each other. The soldiers who were under the serfdom system didn't have everything of their own, but the old soldiers respected them like their own brothers, which made them uncomfortable at first. A Tibetan soldier was injured during training. The Han brothers immediately found a doctor to treat their wounds. The Tibetan soldiers were moved to tears. They held the doctor's hand and kept shouting "mnba" ¡± and bowed to him in thanks. Their life was also very poor. Feng Guozhang asked someone to supply food to them because before he came, Li Zhenhua told him that he must have a good relationship with the Tibetan troops. Those Tibetan soldiers are our own people and we must not treat ourselves badly. We must also unite with the leaders of the Tibetan soldiers. After all, they are the people of our own country. We don¡¯t care about it for the time being, but we will make their lives better in the future. Those soldiers fought bravely to defend the country and resist aggression. They are all the best warriors in the world. It didn¡¯t take long for the Han and Tibetan warriors to be fully integrated. Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xinghua were very happy at first sight that this was an army that could fight hard battles. If they face the Russian army in the future, they will be a powerful force. Zhang Xinghua began to assign combat tasks to the Tibetan soldiers. He initially asked them to serve as second-line troops, but the Tibetan soldiers did not agree and said that they looked down upon them. Zhang Xinghua had no choice but to place a company in front, but repeatedly told them that they must obey orders and obey orders. They all happily agreed to put their main force on reinforcements and let them specifically cooperate with the three regiments to deal with the Indian army. The British army's camp began to get busy. Their target was the southern Tibetan area of ??China. They knew the Chinese troops very well. Those Tibetan soldiers had outdated weapons and tactics and had no fighting skills at all. They would fight tooth and nail but faced the British army. If they use advanced weapons, they can only ask for trouble. No matter how good their bodies are, they can't do anything better than fire weapons. But the Indians under their command are not good either. They just know that the senior commanders of their army are all British, and the rest of the personnel are all typical cannon fodder. Amid the loud shouts of the British officers, the Indian army finally moved forward. The Gurkha army behind and the arrogant British troops at the rear had not yet taken action. They felt that as long as the Indians came up in this area, the problem could be solved. At this time, only the Indian army set off. The remaining troops had to wait until the Indians were stationed before they came up. Because the path in the forest is difficult to walk, there are clumps of shrubs and weeds everywhere. The soldiers in front are cutting down the trees with long knives to clear a path for the troops behind. The troops behind are far away from them. They have to wait until the road It will come up after it is cleaned up. A small group of more than a dozen Indian soldiers were cursing while doing the work in hand: "Those bastards will only let us do the work while they wait for what is ready in the back." One said: "Be honest and stay at home. Why don't you just stay here? "A sergeant said, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up or you'll get scolded again." Several soldiers from the squadron were guarding them not far away. ofAbove is a M-color uniform with a steel helmet and weapon that only his own army has on his head. This small road is only passed by some caravans or hunters. They don't understand why the Indians want to take this road to the west. But there is a big road. Watch those Indians clearing it. They don't care and let them clear it. You can save it when you are done. It's our business. The Indian soldiers finally cleared up in front of those soldiers. Several soldiers "clattered" the end of the gun in their hands and there was a sound of pulling the bolt. The Indian soldiers immediately stopped what they were doing and the soldiers shouted to them: "This is You have already crossed the border of China's land. Go back quickly. If you don't go back, we will shoot." A bird flew up in the forest. Lieutenant Company Commander Liu Xiaobing raised his hand and shot the bird down. He shot it down. He blew on the muzzle of the gun and the smoke dispersed. He said to the Indian soldiers: "You must go back immediately. You have invaded our territory. If you don't go back, it will be the little bird this time, but it will be you next time." The reporter was taking pictures of the Indian soldiers with a camera. The Indian soldiers were stunned for a while and had to turn around and go back obediently. The reporter continued to take pictures of the tools dropped by the Indians. A few days later, Guangzhou's "Southern Guangdong Business News" and Shanghai's "Morning Bell" both published reports that Indian soldiers invaded our territory and were expelled back by us. The newspapers stated Photos of Indian soldiers and their tools and company commander Liu Xiaobing reprimanding the enemy also appeared in the newspaper. It was this newspaper that attracted the hearts of countless girls. After the war, many girls wrote wooing letters to Company Commander Liu Xiaobing, but by this time he was already the battalion commander. Text Chapter 276 Ridiculous Indian Army Text Chapter 276 The Ridiculous Indian Army Chapter 276 The Ridiculous Indian Army Chapter 276 The Ridiculous Indian Army For this reason, the Qing government also summoned the British Minister to China to protest to them. For a time, the eyes of the Chinese and other countries around the world were fixed on China¡¯s southern Tibet region. Those are the tricks of politicians. Let them handle it. The following is sword-to-knife and gun-to-gun combat. After the Indian soldiers returned, they encountered their large troops halfway. After reporting the situation to the superiors, the British immediately chased them away from the superiors. Reported to the British Governor in India and their top military commanders, they had already received instructions from above. This time we were not playing tricks with the Chinese, we were playing for real. Immediately, the soldiers began to attack China. Their battle formation unfolded and the soldiers held weapons in their hands and advanced toward China. Seeing those Indian soldiers coming up again, this time they opened fire without warning. But when they advanced to the place where they had just retreated, no one came to stop their progress. This made the British commander take the Indian soldiers After being scolded, their team moved on. Company Commander Liu Xiaobing of the squadron reported to the superiors that the enemy had arrived. Zhang Xinghua immediately ordered them to retreat and choose favorable terrain. He first gave them a hard blow to make them remember xng. The company commander retreated several hundred meters back. At a favorable terrain, he ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle and then hide. The Indian army finally came up. The guard troops who had been waiting for a long time put the enemy into an ambush position. More than three hundred enemies came in. The company commander raised his gun and fired at the Indian soldier who was walking at the front. Guns also fired at the same time. For a moment, the gunshots were loud and the Indian soldiers fell to the ground. The British lieutenant and company commander himself was injured and his arm was broken by a bullet. He hurriedly lay on the ground and asked his soldiers. The subordinates shouted: "Fire and hit them hard. Don't be afraid of those Chinese braided soldiers." Those Indian soldiers had no chance to fight back under the heavy Chinese firepower. They could not see the Chinese soldiers hiding in the dark. After the first blow, they had no choice but to crawl back. When the lieutenant went back, he saw that more than half of his more than 300 troops had been lost. His superior scolded him: "Idiot". Later, more troops were invested. A large number of troops rushed towards the squadron. Facing the enemy's first test, Liu Xiaobing knew that the enemy's official attack was about to begin. He said to the soldiers: "Everyone, please pay attention. The enemy's attack is about to begin. We must pay attention to protect ourselves well and strike the enemy decisively." Don't let these HN bastards step into our territory. "The soldiers were nervously reinforcing the fortifications. One of the observing soldiers climbed up a big tree and looked into the distance at the Indian Asans. It took them a while. The team was well organized and then began to attack. In this kind of terrain, those traditional European tactics were useless. They had no choice but to slowly move forward while observing. In this case, the attacking foreigners had nothing in mind. I was afraid of them, so I had to walk tremblingly, thinking to myself that those bullets must have eyes and not hit me. The soldier who was observing on the big tree came down from the tree. He ran to the company commander and said: "The enemy is coming up. There are about three to four hundred people. I can't see clearly." "So I can inform everyone to prepare for battle." The soldiers of the company He put down the tool in his hand, held the weapon in his hand, pulled the bolt of the gun to load the bullet, opened the cover of the grenade, and placed it in a convenient place, and straightened the helmet on his head. Even in war, do you need to have an image? . The target in front had very obvious Caucasian characteristics, but those Indian soldiers didn't look like an army at all. They were just a bunch of ragtag people. They were quite tall, but they didn't have any murderous intent. They were like a group of farmers going to the market. He was holding an old-fashioned British rifle in his hand, but only the lieutenant colonel prisoner said that this was their elite unit, but the middleman did not notice it from the previous confrontation. The enemy is getting closer and closer. Even the red turbans on their heads can be seen clearly. They are advancing tremblingly. The soldiers are hiding in their fortifications. They just use their eyes and muzzles. The colorful uniforms of the soldiers on the ground played an excellent role. No one exposed the target. They waited quietly. They would not shoot without orders. They would not expose themselves to the enemy. Liu Xiaobing was a little further back. He was observing the enemy's movements with the telescope in his hand. Of his four platoons, he only placed two firepower platoons in the back at a suitable place. The other platoon was moved to the back as his reserve team. This made The third platoon leader at the back was very upset, but there was no way and the order had to be resolutely carried out. There is a famous Chinese proverb: "Those who are afraid of death cannot escape impermanence." It means that no matter how much you fear death, you will still die.The Indian soldiers were the same. Although they were scared, they finally "charged" forward. When Liu Xiaobing saw that the enemy was getting closer and closer, only five or sixty meters away, he raised his hand and shot down an Indian soldier. Then he said: "Hit me." Hit them hard." The soldiers nearby had already aimed at the Indian soldiers at the front and pulled the trigger. Just listen to a "bang" sound, those Indian soldiers were shot in the head. The sound of the gunshot was the signal to start the attack. Immediately, the gunfire sounded like firecrackers and "crackling". The guns in the hands of six or seventy soldiers opened fire at the same time. Except for the dead, all the advancing Indian soldiers fell down immediately. "They want to practice shooting with Chinese soldiers. Sorry, this is not your strong point. Those Indian soldiers seldom train in shooting. When it comes to shooting, they can't even compare with those Tibetan soldiers because those Tibetan soldiers are also hunters. Now that they are facing the "Annan Jiu" who have been engaged in guerrilla warfare all year round, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. After a burst of shooting, all the Indian soldiers lay on the ground. They were also firing, but they were not accurate at all. No matter how much the British shouted, they were unwilling to move. It was with great difficulty that they took the troops back. At noon After that, both parties started to eat and stopped fighting. A few soldiers were left behind to serve as guards while the other soldiers retreated to the back of the trenches to eat. The soldiers used this time to seize the time to repair their own fortifications. Text Chapter 277 Eat their artillery first Text Chapter 277 Eat their artillery first Chapter 277 Eat their artillery first Chapter 277 Eat their artillery first Those reporters are busy taking pictures again. Of course, the corpses and guns everywhere are their targets. They would not forget to take a photo of the stone tablet next to it that said "China Land" and then they began to write battlefield communications. Zhang Xinghua paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield. When he saw that he had all the information that should be publicized, he began to prepare for his real battle. Now the battle is just like playing, not as good as usual training. Several staff officers hung up the large map. Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xinghua looked at it for a while and discussed it. Then Zhang Xinghua began to issue combat orders: "1. Guerrillas from all over the country immediately began to harass the British areas, making it difficult for them to support each other. 2. A regiment of troops and a part of the Tibetan troops hidden behind were divided into two wings to attack. Go straight in from behind the enemy's British troops to make British dumplings. 3. One battalion and the Tibetan troops are jointly organized between the two enemies. They are responsible for providing reinforcements and preventing the remaining two troops from joining the British troops. 4. The division's reconnaissance company The goal is to turn the enemy's artillery position into your own. If it doesn't work, then you can't let the enemy use it. Even if they complete the mission, the fifth and second regiments will encircle the Gurkhas and attack them. The three regiments circled behind the Indian army and surrounded them. 6. After completing the preparations, they took the first regiment as a signal to attack the enemy on the opposite side. After nightfall, each unit began to move into their positions as planned. The sun slowly rose and the faint mist slowly dispersed. The sun shone on this magical land of China. When the British army got up in the morning, they had not received new orders. They knew that they would not have to enter combat status for a while, so They were just doing what they liked. Most of them were sleeping. There were a few figures moving in the dense forest next to the British artillery station. They were the soldiers of the Yanlong Reconnaissance Company. They had already figured out the situation of the British artillery. It was clear that the cannon must be left behind, but the shells and soldiers were unnecessary. At night, they entered the enemy's station, placed unstrung grenades under their shell boxes, and connected them with long ropes. The leader has already said that this method is called "booby traps" as long as the order is given. It's time to start. It's already broad daylight. An officer on the British artillery station is shouting: "Put your lips up, we're going to start bombarding the Chinese positions, everyone, hurry up." "The British soldiers began to gather. They slowly walked out from everywhere and followed the commander's order to gather. A British soldier came out of the tent. He felt as if he had kicked something and saw someone on the side. Things were making a squeaking noise and white smoke was coming out. Before he understood what was going on, he heard an explosion. The soldier was already flying. Hearing the explosion, the British soldiers panicked and rushed out together. But there were more explosions in the tent, and an officer shouted loudly: "Hurry, the enemy is coming, hurry up and get your weapons." "The British soldiers in the entire garrison were running around. More explosions were heard, accompanied by gunshots. A group of soldiers gathered around the shells. A soldier suddenly discovered that white smoke was coming out from under the shell box, followed by a loud noise and being piled up. The shells exploded together and a huge plume of smoke rose into the sky. The remaining British soldiers were shocked and fell to the ground. Just when they didn't know what to do, a large number of Chinese soldiers suddenly rushed out from all directions, their rifles pointed at them. A less-than-standard English command over the heads of the British soldiers came out of their mouths: "Hands up, you have been captured." "The British soldiers looked at these soldiers who didn't know where they were coming from and had to raise their hands. With the explosions here, the British Army's station also sounded like a pot boiling. The fierce gunfire was accompanied by the explosion of grenades, the explosion of mortars and the sound of heavy machine guns and shrapnel. The British Army's station immediately seemed to be in hell. The British soldiers hid, but there were dangerous places. The British colonel at the station looked at this frightening scene. He just didn't understand when the British Empire's army had never suffered such a blow. He just shouted to his soldiers: "Hold on, hold on." "Resist", but these British soldiers had gone through many battles. They panicked at first under the squadron's sneak attack, but soon after they lost some people, the soldiers began to resist spontaneously. They retreated into the encirclement. The soldiers were surrounded by officersAfter waving, they finally stabilized and they began to resist on the spot. However, the squadron's weapons were obviously better than theirs. As soon as the British heavy machine gun fired, mortar shells immediately came to them, including their men and their guns. Either way, some bullets hit them accurately. The British army's counterattack against the squadron seemed so weak. They saw bullets hitting their heads, but their strange-shaped hats looked like nothing. In addition, the bombs on their hands were also very effective. You can hit wherever you point, as long as you have the strength, it's the same as a cannon from a long distance. Then there is the Chinese artillery, which is also very accurate in its aim. Our own artillery hits that area, while the Chinese hit a point, which is a precise strike by the Chinese. The British soldiers who lost the cover of their heavy machine guns soon became unable to withstand the attack from the squadron. They quickly moved closer to the center, but this made the power of the Chinese small artillery shells appear even greater. One shot after one shot was a swarm of British troops. If those rifles fell down, they wouldn't have to aim at a crowded place to knock down a person with one shot. The British colonel picked up the phone. He wanted to call for help from the other two regiments, but the phone shook lightly. It seemed that the phone line had already been cut by the Chinese. He was so angry that he threw the phone to the ground. It seemed that today This was his "Waterloo". Watching the soldiers in front of him keep falling down, the colonel had no idea what to do. He slowly sat down and closed his eyes. He kept making crosses with his hands and said to himself: "It's just a dream after all." At this time, gunfire rang out from one side of the battlefield. Zhang Xinghua knew that this was the enemy surrounding the two regiments and began to take action. The third regiment and the Tibetan troops had no problem destroying the Indian regiment, but the Khalkha regiment The combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Indian regiment. The combat pressure there should be great, so Zhang Xinghua ordered: "Order the third battalion to block the enemy's large forces and start a general attack on the British army." The order was quickly conveyed. Text Chapter 278: Dealing with the British Army Text Chapter 278 Dealing with the British Army Chapter 278 Dealing with the British Army Chapter 278 Dealing with the British Army The one who is blocking the enemy is the commander of the third battalion of the third regiment, Huang Yixin. They felt very uncomfortable because they did not get the main attack mission, especially after hearing that There was fierce gunfire on one side, but they knew that the enemy would definitely come to reinforce here. They had already set up all their blocking positions, a total of three lines of defense, and now they were just waiting for the enemy to come. An hour later, the Indian army first came up. A major from the British army waved a pistol in his hand and forced the Indian soldiers to rush to the front. He was surrounded by a group of Indian soldiers who had no formation at all. They came over like a swarm of swarms. Commander Huang looked at it. When the enemy came, he raised the gun in his hand. He wanted to bring the enemy closer and then fire. His soldiers were all veterans. Everyone pointed their guns at the enemy. The enemy soon reached fifty meters in front of the position. Even the sweat on the enemy's face could be seen. "Bang!" Battalion Commander Huang's gun rang out. The British lieutenant who was hiding behind fell to the ground. The soldiers also fired towards him. The enemy opened fire. The enemy in front fell down. The injured Indian soldiers screamed, but the enemy behind could not stop their steps and rushed forward, trampling their own people under their feet. However, more bullets knocked them down. The enemies behind were like It receded like water. More than a hundred Indian soldiers were killed in this encounter. However, the British officers did not care about this. They quickly organized a second attack and pointed their guns at the backs of the Indian soldiers. Under their urging, the Indian soldiers had to start a second charge, but this time the speed was much slower than before. d This time, as soon as the enemy entered the 100-meter-3rd Battalion, under the command of the battalion commander, they opened fire with heavy machine guns and mortars and directly hit the enemy. The Tibetan and Han soldiers holding rifles also started sh The enemy's second attack only reached 70 or 80 meters in front of the position and they could no longer move. They quickly retreated. This time they took a little longer, but Battalion Commander Huang discovered that the enemy in front of them was no longer the Indian army, but the Gurkha army, which was more powerful than them. They carried their rifles behind their backs and clung to their beloved Bends in their hands. The shaped long knife started charging directly towards the blocking position. When Huang Yinxin saw the fearless charge of these Khalkha people, he ordered all the soldiers to start shooting from a long distance, but the target was their body parts instead of their heads. He tried every means to injure them instead of ruthlessly taking away their lives because As mentioned above, it turns out that most of the people in Khalkha are Nepalese, and they were originally a vassal state of the Chinese, so there were instructions from above to be lenient to them, not to harm them too much, just to scare them. Their approach was very dangerous at the beginning. If they rushed up, those scimitars would be very harmful, but since they fired from a long distance, they had to take care of their injured comrades, so their charging speed was not fast, but they The British officers among them were not so lucky. They shot their heads one by one as before. The soldiers did not feel anything at first and just lowered their heads and rushed forward. But when they saw the British officers around them, They were shot in the head by a Chinese sharpshooter. They understood that the Chinese were unwilling to cause serious harm to themselves. Although the brothers lay down a lot, there were no fatal injuries. A voice on the opposite side shouted loudly in a language they could understand: "Brothers, stop working for the British and surrender quickly. We have no intention of fighting you. As long as you put down your weapons, we will ensure that you can go back safely." "We will not be polite to the British. You have seen that we will kill every one we see." Under the political offensive of the squadron, the charging Gurkha soldiers quickly understood that the people on the opposite side were facing them. They started to pass one by two, two by four, and told each other not to fight the Chinese on the opposite side. So their charging speed slowed down, and then they fled back, no matter how much the officials shouted. Their charge could not be organized. On the main battlefield on the other side, the British troops had been squeezed together into an area of ??only a few hundred square meters. They were surrounded by the Chinese with their hateful guns. Finally, the British colonel couldn't stand it any longer. He looked at most of the remaining several hundred soldiers. The wounded soldier feebly said to his officer: "At this stage of the battle, we can be considered as doing our best for Her Majesty the Queen. Let the soldiers surrender. We can't beat them." A white flag waved on the British position Zhang Xinghua He ordered the troops to stop firing and asked them to come over. At the same time, he said to a staff officer beside him: "Order the first regiment to deal with the last enemy here. The other troops surround the Indian regiment and don't let any of them escape." So a part of the troops was responsible for solving this problem. Another part of the troops withdrew from the battle and rushed to other battlefields. British ArmyA major came over with a white flag. He came towards the squadron in embarrassment with an injured arm and a bandage on his arm. The words of the First Regiment Commander Wang Meng who was responsible for receiving Regiment Commander Wang were very simple: "Go back and tell your highest officer to put down his arms and surrender unconditionally. We can guarantee your life safety." The lieutenant colonel asked to give them some light weapons for self-defense. They still thought about themselves. You can go back, but Wang Meng disagreed: "You have to listen to us on our territory. There is no place for you to talk. Besides, you won't have any use for that thing in our prisoner camp." The lieutenant colonel had no choice but to go back and talk to the colonel. During the discussion, the colonel saw the tough attitude of the Chinese and his own pride as a soldier was gone. He looked at the soldiers around him and they had no intention of fighting, so he had no choice but to agree. At this time, he would just It's up to whoever has a harder fist. Zhang Xinghua led the troops behind to arrive at another battlefield. The third battalion commander Huang Yinxin reported their current situation to Zhang Xinghua. At this time, a correspondent came to Zhang Xinghua and said to him: "The division commander is here, and their troops are here too." They asked to join the battle. "Zhang Xinghua said: "Let them come." After a while, a group of people came running. One of them was wearing Qing Dynasty clothes, and the people next to him were all wearing Tibetan clothes. They saw Zhang Xinghua immediately. They all dismounted and saluted Zhang Xinghua. Zhang Xinghua returned the salute to them and then said: "We are all our own people, so don't give so many salutes. You should take a rest as soon as you arrive. We will end the battle soon." Text Chapter 279 Changing weapons for the Tibetan soldiers Text Chapter 279 Changing Weapons for Tibetan Soldier Brothers Chapter 279 Changing Weapons for Tibetan Soldier Brothers Chapter 279 Changing Weapons for Tibetan Soldier Brothers (Happy friends, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year. Last year was spent with everyone¡¯s support. This year I still have to rely on everyone¡¯s encouragement and support. In the new year, I promise to review it three times before publishing and update it at least twice a day to thank my friends for their love.) The man wearing Qing Dynasty clothes was shocked when he heard this. By the time you were about to end the battle, he thought it was just a small battle. But the man who looked like the leader of the Tibetan soldiers said: "We are not tired. Since we are here, let's fight them together." Zhang Xinghua looked at their old-fashioned weapons and couldn't help but said in his heart: "The weapons of these Tibetan compatriots are also We are so backward. If we fight with the British, wouldn't we just be fighting the enemy with our lives? "Most of them are old-fashioned matchlock guns and the kind of shotguns with two forks in the front. Zhang Xinghua frowned. After a moment, he said to them: "That's okay, but you have to change your weapons. Your weapons are too backward. How many people have you come in total?" The Tibetan soldier leader replied: "We have come in total, more than 4,000 people. Now There are more than 2,000 people who have arrived. We don¡¯t have that many weapons. I think we can forget about it. Our weapons are all familiar to everyone.¡± The troops seized the enemy's weapons and asked them to transport two thousand rifles from the British army. "Zhang Xinghua then said to a correspondent beside him: "Order the troops to complete the encirclement of the enemy immediately and not allow them to escape." The correspondent promised and went to convey the order quickly. At this time, the Qing official introduced his people to Zhang Xinghua. It turned out that he was a Tibetan soldier named Turleng, a general soldier under the minister in Tibet. The leader's name is Basang. They are talking about the logistics. The guns and ammunition captured by the British army have been transported. Seeing the new rifles of the British army, the Tibetan soldiers are not amateurs. They are very happy. At least this process is necessary. It was much farther than my old gun, and its accuracy was also higher. Those Tibetan soldiers were happy and shouted. Basang knew that his local government could not afford these rifles. He hesitated a little. Zhang Xinghua saw what he meant and said to him: "The guns are just for you. We didn't spend money to buy them. They are all British." "I gave it to you for nothing." "When I saw Zhang Xinghua and his two thousand rifles, Basang was completely convinced. I just got here. The battle is almost over. They have already captured at least two thousand." I have never dared to think about getting a rifle and giving it to myself for free, but the fact is right in front of me and you can't help but believe it. It turns out that I heard some rumors that a Chinese army here is particularly capable of fighting. The foreigners are very scared. Now that they have seen these people, and they want to help themselves, how can this not make people feel good? Ah, they are treating our Tibetans as their brothers. It seems that we will definitely become life-and-death brothers with them in the future. Zhang Xinghua said to an officer on the side: "Bring some pistols to give to a few of them." He took off his own pistol, took it in his hand and said to Basang: "You are a soldier, I believe you can use it." It is here to protect our own land. "The Tibetan military leaders did not have a good impression of the Han people coming to them, but when they saw Zhang Xinghua's behavior towards them, they felt like a pot was boiling in their hearts. The Han people have never treated us. It's just taking advantage of people who have never been treated as equals, but this soldier is different. Although what he said at the beginning was not nice, he was always concerned about the people in front of him. If he didn't change his weapons, he would die. But when did the Qing government care about him? That's never happened. Killing a Tibetan is like killing an ant, but this Master Zhang cares about him extremely. It seems that the world will change in the future. With the help of the soldiers, the Tibetan soldiers changed their guns, and after their demonstration, they all mastered how to use them. It is basically the same as before, except that they no longer need to fire and fire. They just use their fingers to hook the bullets on the trigger below. Just go out. This is much more convenient than before. The gun is much easier to use. The bayonet on the gun is also more convenient than before. When fighting, you no longer have to hold a match rope in your hand. On rainy days, you don't have to worry about shooting at night or exposing the target in advance. The happiest thing for a soldier is to have a handy weapon in his hand. Now he has a real rifle in his hand. Those Tibetan soldiers were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. At this time, Zhang Xinghua said to Basang again: "In this battle, you can only be on the second line and we are in the front because you are not familiar with the weapons in your hands yet." "That won't work." Basang said hurriedly: "I"We are here to fight, not to see the fight. Sir, just let us go up. None of my soldiers are afraid of death. If we just stay behind, everyone will look down on us." " "I know this, but the most important thing about our army is to obey orders and follow orders. If you don't obey, we will have to not let you go up. " "Well, we must obey orders and command. " Zhang Xinghua said to him: "Then you go and tell your soldiers that they must obey orders and do whatever is forbidden. Those who disobey orders must be dealt with strictly. "Basang ran to lecture his troops. Zhang Xinghua asked about the current location of each unit. The staff reported that all units had now arrived at the designated positions and were waiting for the division commander's order. "Basang finished mobilizing the troops and came to Zhang Xinghua. He He also raised his hands in a very ridiculous salute and said to Zhang Xinghua: "Okay, everyone will listen to you, I promise. Zhang Xinghua looked at his watch and said to the correspondent: "Order the troops to surround the Gurkha troops but not fight. The Indian troops must be severely beaten to make them always remember that the Chinese are not easy to bully." " "We have already spoken about the division commander's order and have conveyed it to all units to ensure that they will resolutely implement the order. " "Send a signal to deal with them. "The two correspondents pulled out the flare guns on their waists: "Bang, bang, bang. "Three red S flares flew into the sky. "The sound of gunfire rang out immediately. Several staff officers led the Tibetan soldiers and rushed out to enter the position. Like the soldiers, they also started to attack the enemy. They are worthy of being on the plateau. Although it was the first time for the good hunters to hold rifles in their hands, their shooting skills were very good. Seeing that the enemy had been completely stunned, the soldiers, led by the officers, launched a charge towards the enemy with bayonets flashing. The Indian troops were soon on their knees and surrendered to the squadron.

Turleng, who was standing aside and watching the battle, never put down his hand holding the telescope. Only today did he know what it means to fight, what it means to have advanced weapons, what it means to have high morale, and what it means to be well-trained After the battle, Basang ran back and faced him. Zhang Xinghua said: "Master, my soldiers have also seized more than fifty rifles." "Well done, this is a real man, but are your casualties high?" "Not one of them died, not only two soldiers. The skin is bruised, it¡¯s all because you fought well and we got an advantage, otherwise this battle wouldn¡¯t have gone so smoothly.¡± ¡°Then let the hygienist take a look at the wound and treat it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. A little injury is fine. Oh, that¡¯s what it means to fight with you. All your soldiers are good, and there is no coward.¡± ¡°You Tibetan soldiers are also good, and they will do the same in the future.¡± da8 will be updated quickly. After the battlefield was over, there were still many things to deal with. Those Indian soldiers had already been scared out of their wits by the squadron. They couldn't exchange for much money. There was no need to keep them and let them work for a few days. Under the escort of the squadron, they sent them to the front for a few days. The cement carried stones for several days to help build the fortifications. The soldiers felt uncomfortable watching them eat because they ate differently from the Chinese and other Western countries. They picked up the food with their fingers and put it directly into their mouths. Food inside. A few people discussed and let them all go and let them promote the squadron as a righteous and mighty force. We cannot afford to offend the Chinese. Don't think about going to war with the Chinese. Fighting with them will only be self-inflicted. Its humiliating. ??????????? Gorgeous people, let¡¯s just say, what are you doing here after leaving home? You turned out to be friends with the Chinese. Don't come here anymore and don't be cannon fodder for the British. Nepal was originally a vassal state of China. Why should you listen to the British? Don't go to war with the Chinese in the future. Just treat the wounded and give them some food so they can return home. We left all the British behind and asked them to help us with town construction. We sent a few prisoners back and asked them to send a message back. If you want people, you can use money to redeem them and buy them back. The price is clearly marked: three hundred pounds per soldier and three hundred pounds per lieutenant. Eight hundred pounds a man. A major has ¡ê1,200 and a lieutenant colonel has ¡ê1,500 and a colonel has ¡ê2,000. In addition, the food and management fees for these prisoners are one pound per person per day, but it is higher for officers, five pounds per person per day for lieutenants, and ten pounds per person per day for school officers. Not a shilling more nor a shilling less. Because this is determined by the above, you can come whenever you like. After the prisoners have been dealt with, the next step is to seize the enemy's weapons and equipment. The Tibetan compatriots will be responsible for guarding this place, so all the weapons will be handed over to them. In addition, some soldiers who can speak Tibetan are responsible for training the Tibetan troops. The infantry is a lot of shooting, bombing, and assassination. The three technical queues need to be trained for at least three months. The artillery needs to improve the cultural quality of the soldiers, principles, ballistics, etc. Theory, aiming, shooting and then the issues of infantry and artillery coordination. When the Tibetan compatriots on the plateau came down, they all regarded the New Army soldiers as their most lovable people. They presented white hadas to those brave soldiers. Those enthusiastic Tibetan compatriots sang and danced to celebrate the victory. At that time, many Tibetan compatriots wanted to immigrate here for a long time. In addition, some people from Yunnan were also mobilized to let them immigrate here. I believe that soon some of them will focus on border defense and trade. An integrated town appeared. Those Tibetan warriors were very enthusiastic. Although the language was sometimes blocked, the instructors finally enabled them to truly master their weapons through speaking, doing, demonstrating and finally giving them step-by-step instruction. At the same time, they also became best friends with those instructors. After dealing with these things, the roads were built in these border towns and the population gradually increased. If southern Tibet alone was not enough, then northern Myanmar was dealt with. Now there are no British in the area north of Myitkyina. After the army, if you leave, then this is my territory. A simple road from here to Lhasa has also begun to be built. Those Tibetan compatriots have been working on the front line because they have lived in the difficult working environment on the plateau for many years. played a big role. At this time, there were no British troops in northern Burma. They were exercising autonomy as a province in India. Zhang Xinghua established a Burmese guerrilla force or adopted the original method and occupied the entire northern area. He found a member of the original Burmese royal family. As a puppet, if someone has something to do, just tell yourself that he is the leader of the northern region in name only.The slogan of the military leaders is: "Liberate Burma from the British and restore the Burmese people's own country." And this country was originally a vassal state of China, so it had to return to its original state. In one day, one regiment of the British army and two colonial regiments were eaten. This made the British start to compare their own strength with that of China. It seems that it is not easy to succeed against the Chinese army, so they have to stretch themselves out. His hand retracted. If you want to win against China, you still have to rely on your own navy, which is the best in the world. But there are still many people who think that only their own people can direct them. If they find an opportunity, they still have to find ways to teach the Chinese a lesson. Now we can only let go of our worries about dealing with the Chinese head-on, because resistance to the British rulers has been launched in various parts of Myanmar. There are activities to resist the British army everywhere, here today and there tomorrow, giving them a headache. More than 2,000 people were captured by the Chinese and hundreds of thousands of pounds were taken out to redeem the British. It seems that this army is not good. If we deal with the Chinese in the future, we must use our own Royal Navy. If so, The Chinese are absolutely not good in the Navy. Are their captain-level officers all British students? Even their southern naval commanders were students of our British. Although they defeated the Japanese, they would not be able to do it against the teacher. What the cat taught the tiger, didn¡¯t he also retain some skills? The Chinese have very little experience in maritime combat, so they must find a way to use their navy to deal with them. The Governor-General in India gave a complete report to their cabinet on some of his experiences in dealing with the Chinese, leaving it to the British cabinet to worry about it. Anyway, he just shied away his own responsibilities and left them alone. (On the way to New Year greetings, be more careful and guard against anyone who gets drunk and goes crazy. You keep the rules, but you are afraid that other drunkards will not.) Text Chapter 281 Analysis of Island Chains Text Chapter 281 Analysis of the Island Chain Chapter 281 Analysis of the Island Chain Chapter 281 Analysis of the Island Chain But the local guerrillas did not let him worry. They had to cause some trouble for the British every day. It took a lot of effort for the British to deal with this kind of underground activity, but the effect was not very good. Small units of the British army were often wiped out. Large units went out but could not be found, which annoyed them. They had no choice but to shrink their forces to some big cities for defense to avoid being wiped out by the local guerrillas. They know that the Chinese are mainly helping them here, but because there is no evidence, they can only suffer a loss. Li Zhenhua, who is sitting in the north, has a clear view of the current international situation. Due to his appearance, the world's pattern has changed a lot. First of all, the Japanese have been beaten to the ground by the Chinese, but Russia in the north is still fighting. The twitching is caused by their aggression. They occupied more than 1.5 million square kilometers of our land through a series of unequal treaties with the Qing Dynasty. They are still determined to obtain greater benefits from China. Well, then treat them the way they treat others. Human body. If you don't move, I will still be thinking about you. Now that you are here, we have to fight the snake and follow the stick. Li Zhenhua summoned several military leaders in Tianjin together. Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen had also returned. Li Biao, Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui, Xiao Guoqiang, Deng Shichang, Feng Yinqing and others came to Tianjin. A few people from the military knew that their commander-in-chief was going to take action again. Since the new army was being organized and trained in Tianjin, he did not want the title of Governor-General of Zhili. Guangxu said to him that such a name was unjust and unjust, so why should you have an official position? Li Zhenhua gave himself the title of Commander-in-Chief of the New Army, so Guangxu agreed. Since the New Army is under the Ministry of War, strictly speaking, there is another person above him, that is Xu Gengshen, the Minister of War. It turns out that the following people called Li Zhenhua Wuhua: Sir, Boss, General Manager, and Prince-in-Law. Anyway, there are many names. Now the soldiers in Tianjin just call him commander-in-chief naturally. Of course, some of those earlier people were still calling him by his name and called him eldest brother. Anyway, the army is basically unified. With Li Zhenhua¡¯s appointment, people began to call him Commander-in-Chief, and the title of the New Army was established. As soon as Li Zhenhua came in, everyone stood up to greet him. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to everyone: "Don't be like this. We are all brothers, so it's better to be the same as before." Feng Guozhang immediately said: "That won't work. The army must have a class. We can't come if we are used to it. If it happens, it will affect future work. " Li Zhenhua thought that he would be fine no matter how casual he was, but the officers below him would not be able to do it. They must have discipline. An undisciplined army would just be a mess. The German army that can provoke two world wars needs iron discipline. Without iron discipline, there is no iron army. So he said to everyone: "Then it's up to you. Today is like this, but it's not a formal occasion. Let's just do it casually. That's good." Everyone laughed together. Li Zhenhua immediately said to everyone: "I have called you here today to discuss a few things with you. Let's take a look here." After that, he first came to the big map on the wall, pointed to the Philippines in the southeast with his hand, and said to Deng Shichang : "Shichang yqing, do you have any thoughts about this place?" Deng Shichang immediately guessed Li Zhenhua's purpose when he saw the commander-in-chief's order. So he immediately began to introduce the situation in the Philippines to everyone: "From the map, we can It can be seen that a complete island chain barrier has been formed to the east of us, but this barrier is broken when we get here. This used to be a colony belonging to the Spanish, but now the Americans have become very interested in it. They want it. By making this their colony, our outer barrier will have a breaking point, which will be extremely detrimental to our future defense and outward development. In the future, our navy will be monitored by them. I think this situation is something that everyone sitting here does not want to see." Feng Yiqing continued: "What Commander Deng said above is right. I completely agree. Let me add one more point: There are many of us in the Philippines. Some of our Chinese compatriots have been here since the Ming Dynasty, and some have been there recently. However, because we Chinese worked hard, they accumulated a certain amount of wealth there. The Spaniards and the local indigenous people they provoked were very unfriendly to us Chinese. Those compatriots who have been oppressing us. Recently, our Chinese people have begun to arm themselves and protect themselves due to the influence from Indonesia. Now there have been more than ten guerrilla groups composed mainly of Chinese. We have also exported a group of personnel and weapons there. Now we just need to dispatchWith a small number of troops to help our compatriots, they can take the entire Philippines into their own hands. ¡°In this way, our broken place in the southeastern region can be completed. After our penetration into the Philippines over the years, our power is now greater than that of the Americans. In terms of commercial trade, we are the largest trading partner there, which means that they can no longer do without us. But in the past two years, the eyes of the Americans have been staring at the Spaniards, but they have not paid much attention to us. This is mainly because at the beginning The demands the Commander-in-Chief places on us are caused by low profile. This is an excellent opportunity for us. If we attack there now, we can drive away the Spanish before the Americans and establish our power there. Even if the Americans want to attack them, they will be too late. In this way, our external barrier will be complete. After our warships appear in the South China Sea, it will be our own internal sea. " Deng Shichang added: "I would also like to add that it only takes more than twenty hours for our warships to arrive from Guangzhou to Manila. If they set off from southern Taiwan to their northernmost point, it only takes one night. In the future, we can completely block the South China Sea by taking Annam's Inkstone and Saigon under our control. " Feng Guozhang also stood up and added: "Everyone still has a question, that is, what threat do the Spaniards pose to us because their national strength is relatively weak? But if the Americans occupy it, the threat to us is very great. We must completely solve this problem in the near future. We cannot let our descendants scold us in the future. " Text Chapter 282 The Philippines in Hands Text Chapter 282 The Philippines in the Hands Chapter 282 The Philippines in the Hands Chapter 282 The Philippines in the Hands Listening to everyone¡¯s analysis, Li Zhenhua admired them to the extreme. These people analyzed the problem from an overall perspective. It seemed that it was really comprehensive. If they can give full play to their abilities, they can no longer make their own decisions about everything. They must delegate their authority and bring out their initiative. After listening to the introductions of the two of them, everyone understood Li Zhenhua¡¯s intentions. In the past, we were only bullied by outsiders. Now we have to find ways to go outside for some activities. Feng Guozhang asked: "How many troops do we need to dispatch if we want to take action?" Feng Yinqing replied: "Our security team there now has more than a thousand people, and the dozen or so local guerrillas also have seven or eight thousand people. The Spanish have only more than 20,000 troops there. Their warships are all old and outdated warships, so we don¡¯t need to dispatch domestic forces in the first step. We can only use them. We consider that Spain will send a large number of domestic troops in the future. When the fleet comes, it will require domestic help. " Li Zhenhua said: "Then we will not use domestic forces and let you deal with them. After that, you can find a local person to be the leader of this region and sign an agreement with us. The treaty of military cooperation or the treaty of voluntarily becoming a country protected by us. If the Spaniards want to use warships to fight back, our navy will take action, and the Annan side will send their mountain jungle troops to fight. " Xiao Guoqiang immediately asked: "Why don't you use us?" Li Zhenhua said: "If the northern troops can't do it there, they have to use the southern jungle troops. They have adapted to the living habits there. The northern troops used to have strong combat effectiveness, but due to the local climate If you don't adapt, you will fall ill immediately." Feng Yiqing continued: "We have already selected the agent there and now have a guard for him. There are more than 500 people. They alone can conquer Spain. We took it from the Governor's Mansion. Now just ask the Commander-in-Chief to inform Division Commander Liu Yongfu and then ask the navy to cooperate and send out warships to escort them." Li Zhenhua said: "How did you deal with the pirates you mentioned last time. " "Many of those pirates were our original common people who couldn't live anymore and went to sea to become pirates. They asked me to come back and most of them went to Annan to deal with them." "These people can also be used. As soon as they are more familiar with the sea, let them continue to live at sea, fishing, aquatic product processing, etc. The main thing is to let them contribute to the defense of the country's maritime borders. " "Also," Li Zhenhua finally added: "Send a capable person over and follow this plan, but be sure to be prepared and not fight an uncertain battle." Feng Yin replied: "I will definitely make arrangements, so the commander-in-chief can rest assured." Li Biao was muttering to the side. "It's better not to come if nothing happens again." Li Zhenhua laughed when he heard Li Biao's words: "You can go now. Please tell me about the situation in the northwest." When Li Biao heard about the situation in the northwest, he immediately became happy: "Commander-in-Chief, I can't take this step. I will regret it to death." People laughed together. Feng Yinqing began to introduce the situation in the northwest again: "Since Marshal Zuo carried the coffin in the Western Expedition, the northwest has regained the entire territory of Xinjiang. The situation has improved. Not long ago, when Russia saw that we were having sex with the Japanese, they sent another The troops entered our territory with the intention of continuing to occupy our territory. Now about 100,000 of them have entered our interior and have arrived near Yili. The local Qing army has no way to do anything to them." Feng Guozhang said: "There are still us from Yili to the west. "Commander-in-Chief, it turned out that we couldn't do it. Now we must find a way to take it back." Li Zhenhua: "Yes, from there to the sea, it used to be our territory. Now due to the weakness of the Qing government, they have taken over a large area of ??our territory." We must take back the land. Several major ethnic groups there have defected to Russia in recent decades due to the weakness of the Qing government, including Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, etc. " "Yes, they have only been in their thirties for a short period of time. If we can't take back the time, it will be hard to say in the future." Wang Shizhen said. "Those small countries can't help it. They rely on us, but when they have trouble, we can't help them, so they turn to Russia. If we become stronger, they will turn to us." "Then let's go to the west to show our strength. Guowei asked them to come back." Li Biao shouted. This time people didn¡¯t laugh but they all looked at Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua understood him.So he said to them: "Now let's take the first step to implement the plan for the Philippines. At the same time, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, and Xiao Guoqiang, you start making preparations for the expedition. I want a cavalry force and a desert force." Li Zhenhua looked at the map. He said to people at once: "Two months later, the desert troops will be concentrated in Dunhuang, Gansu. I will personally lead the team to play with the Russians." "Wang Shizhen, you are responsible for establishing a large-scale military station in Ili, Xinjiang." We have stored a large amount of military supplies. Feng Guozhang, you and I will lead the expedition. Li Biao and Zhang Zuolin, please take care of your home. No accidents will happen. If we don't even have our home, that won't work. You two, don't be unhappy that you will fight this battle in the future. But if you want people, I will keep an eye on the northeast. " The preparations for the north and south lines have begun in an intense and orderly manner. Let me talk about the situation of the south line first. The south line is mainly carried out by Feng Yingqing's intelligence department mn. He first transported sufficient guns and ammunition to the nominal security forces in the Philippines. Another special forces unit also went to the Philippines. The name of this unit is "Scorching Sun". Don't tell me, this name is quite suitable for those young men. All of them are tanned under the scorching sun, and each one is stronger than the last. Most of them are from Guangdong, Guangxi and Nanyang. At least in terms of accent, they are all fellow villagers. In addition, more than 10,000 troops were mobilized from Liu Yongfu and Zhang Xinghua. These are elite mountain and jungle troops. Most of them have gone through real battles, so they were concentrated in Guangzhou and Taiwan. On the Guangdong side, Guangdong Governor Ni Wenwei joined a force. There is no problem, and there is no problem with Taiwan. Liu Mingchuan's old foundation is all like-minded people who resist foreign enemies. In addition, Li Zhenhua provided them with a large number of new ordnance at a preferential price. Their relationship with Li Zhenhua is very good. Ten thousand came in. They are all concentrated in the southern part of Taiwan. Text Chapter 283 Riots in Manila Text Chapter 283 Riots in Manila Chapter 283 Riots in Manila Chapter 283 Riots in Manila There is another army, that is Liu Yongfu's army that has been on Nan'ao Island for several years. He has always had a deep relationship with the troops who defended the city. Origin: Although they don't have many people, they are a very capable force. Liu Yongfu was in Annan for more than 20 years and the French army could not do anything to them. Later, when they returned to the country, the Qing government was afraid that they would cause trouble and took away the two thousand they had when they returned. Many people were forced to do it, and only about 300 people were left. Although there were not many of them, they played a great role there when the Japanese army invaded Taiwan. Although Liu Yongfu left on his own, they were trained by Liu Yongfu himself. The combat effectiveness of the army that has passed should not be too low. Now if we want to take action against the Philippines, it would be a pity not to use such a force. Therefore, if we want to take this force into consideration, we should find a way to make them our own force. Anyway, it's easy to talk about it, just say hello to Xu Gengshen. Besides, in the future, Nan'ao Island will become an inland force that can fight. It's not a toy there, so let them go to the Philippines. From there, they will be the frontier to defend the country. The combat plan named "Going South" began, so a large number of merchant ships "" went to the Philippines every day. In addition to cargo, there were also more "guests" on their ships heading to the Philippines. Each merchant ship had some weapons in the cabin. They first got some. The little bird goes up and then passes through the little bird to enter some large islands in the Philippines. Those soldiers who don¡¯t wear their own uniforms are no different from the local people. Soon, there are more Chinese people on various islands in the Philippines. If you don¡¯t look carefully, you can¡¯t. After seeing that they were all soldiers, twenty days later thousands of officers and soldiers entered the Philippines and weapons were in place. Baidu search (Hand-typing chapter) After everything was ready, they decided that May 1, 1995, at two o'clock in the afternoon, which was the time when the locals were resting, began to attack the Spaniards on various islands in the Philippines. Those high-ranking Spain The rulers never thought that the common people would revolt, and Feng Yingqing and Liu Yongfu's preparations were very careful. When the Spaniards heard the news that the common people were starting to revolt, they were already overwhelmed. The Spanish troops stationed in various parts of the Philippines were 20,000. But they are usually stationed in some larger towns. Their Nordic troops are not used to living in this tropical rainforest climate, but it is much better at the seaside. The ocean xng climate is very comfortable, and there are more than 20,000 troops. They are used only when things happen, and when they have nothing to do, they are just there, just like on vacation. The soldiers have nothing to do and let the locals do it. The officers have some local servants around them, and the senior officers have their own. Officers and soldiers whose families are at the grassroots level do not have that kind of treatment. They need to do some chores by themselves. But it is also a blessing for soldiers not to fight. The salary here is higher than at home. If you don't gamble and look for women, it will be better. There was some money left. On the afternoon of May 1, all the officers and soldiers were resting. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire from the urban area of ??Manila broke the peaceful life of the Spanish soldiers. A second lieutenant who came to look for reinforcements hurriedly came to the rescue. He rushed to the garrison commander's mn, but the guards guarding him stopped him. Why? The commander had an order not to disturb him while he was resting, not to mention that the guards knew that the commander had just found another one. The two local aboriginal women were in the heat now and no one would look for this boring person. The second lieutenant said anxiously to the guard: "There has been a violence in the city and I came to rescue the soldiers. If it delays the matter, you can't afford this injury." " But the guards believe that nothing big will happen here in Manila. We won't disturb the Commander's "good things" anyway. Even if there is a big thing, you have to wait for the Commander to come out. At this time, no one would disturb the commander's happy life, no matter how big the matter was. No matter what the second lieutenant said, the guard would not report it and would not let the second lieutenant in. They remained in a stalemate in front of the commander in the room. His Majesty the Commander and the local natives were sleeping after completing their warm-up exercises, but the gunshots in downtown Manila still woke up the Commander. The gunshots had a special resonance for soldiers. He did not open his eyes in his sleep. He opened his eyes and spoke: "Guard, let's go and see why they were shooting?" The indigenous woman next to him said: "The commander who has nothing to do must be those of us who are causing trouble again. They are just people who are looking for trouble." Commander He held the naked beauty in his arms and said: "No matter them, we continue to rest, but you have tormented me to death. Let me take a rest and I will make you really comfortable." After that, he fell asleep again. After all, I am too old to bear such strenuous exercise. The captain of the guard standing outside the bedroom agreed and hurriedly sent an officer to understand the situation. The officer who went out to learn about the situation was a major. As soon as he arrived in front of the mn, he saw the second lieutenant and the guard who were in a stalemate. He immediately asked: "What are you doing?" The second lieutenant immediately replied: "Report to the major what happened in the city of Manila. I came to report the situation, but because the guard blocked me, I asked the major to inform me. " "Okay, come with me." The major hurriedly led the second lieutenant to report to the commander. The report shouted in front of the bedroom mn: "Report". The sleeping commander immediately said: "Come in". The major and the second lieutenant who came to report entered the commander's bedroom together. It was too hot in summer and it was time to take a break at noon. There was no need to cover anything, so two carcass animals, one black and one white, appeared in front of the two people. Their noses were filled with a special smell. The two well-trained officers immediately turned back and turned their backs to the commander. Report: "Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander: A large-scale riot occurred in Manila. Our Governor's Palace, police station, etc. were attacked by local people. Please, Your Excellency, Commander, immediately send troops to rescue." Reports are all face-to-face, and only the Spanish army has this method of reporting with its back to the commander. The experienced commander listened to the report without blushing and immediately ordered the major: "Major Pierce will immediately lead two battalions to downtown Manila to rescue the Spaniards there. At the same time, you must give a severe lesson to those who dare to resist. We are the mob of the Spanish Empire." "Yes." Text Chapter 284 The Philippines¡¯ New Deal Text Chapter 284 The New Deal in the Philippines Chapter 284 The New Deal in the Philippines Chapter 284 The New Deal in the Philippines The two officers rushed outside together as quickly as they could escape. This environment is absolutely not suitable for staying here for a long time. What is unbearable is the smell there. And the desire for that black and white object. The soldiers who were resting got up. Half an hour later, they left the barracks and began to move towards downtown Manila. However, halfway through, a group of disarmed Spanish soldiers were walking towards them. As soon as the two parties met, the people who came back from the city said to Pierce, who was rescuing him: "Major, please go back. Now those violent people have confiscated all our weapons. You went and didn't use those people's weapons. They are not ours." Their weapons are at least twenty years behind our weapons." "Did you give up your weapons without fighting them? You are really a bunch of waste," the major scolded. "Major, it's not that we are incompetent, it's that they are too cunning. They took away our weapons before we had time to take action." Two days later, all the news came over, and wherever there were Spaniards, they were killed by the local people. Occupied. All garrison locations including the Governor's Palace and Manila City Hall Police Station were occupied by local people. Due to the good preparations, no bloodshed occurred. Only some Spanish soldiers who dared to resist were killed or injured. Due to years of peaceful life, those Spanish soldiers had no precautions at all. When the common people rushed into the Governor's Palace, the Spanish soldiers The Governor was sleeping. The soldiers rushed into his bedroom and he didn't understand what was going on until they caught him. Feng Yingqing and Liu Yongfu came to Manila's city hall and ordered to find all the original officials in Manila. Soon some soldiers from the uprising army found all the government officials. These people didn't know what they were looking for, but on the surface It seems like something big happened, otherwise we wouldn't have been called here at this time. In the original hall, Liu Yongfu, wearing a long robe, began to give them his inaugural speech. Liu Yongfu said: "Hello everyone, I will introduce myself to you first. My name is Liu Yongfu. Now I have the final say over the entire Philippines. Everyone may know some things about me. I stayed in Annan. The French were my defeated generals. I also stayed in South Australia. Now I am here, but my identity has changed. I am no longer the original "Sanxuan Governor" of Annan. I am no longer the former Nan'ao General Soldier of the Qing government. Now I am just a member of China's Xinghua Group. I hope to have good cooperation with you in the future." "Now, please continue to work according to the original division of labor. You can come to me directly. From now on, just go straight and don't play tricks with me. I'm also a soldier. I can't play tricks, but I can do the same thing, which is killing people." Liu Yongfu was wearing a robe, but he looked so murderous that it was a bit unacceptable. . Liu Yongfu¡¯s opening remarks shocked everyone who attended the meeting. Everyone was thinking that Mr. Liu was going to operate on someone here, right? Liu Yongfu continued: "Please all the Chinese people stay here. I still have something to say. If you are not Chinese, you can leave." Only two of the original officials of the municipal government stood up and went out. The rest all stayed. When he got off the bus and saw the two local aborigines leaving, Liu Yongfu immediately changed his face. He smiled and said to all the editors present: "Hello everyone, what Liu Yongfu just said was a bit harsh. I am polite to everyone here." "The Chinese all stood up and bowed their hands to Liu Yongfu and said: "I have admired the name of the general for a long time." "Since we are our own people, I will not say more. From today on, this Philippines does not belong to the Spanish but to our Chinese nation. By the way, all of us here are Chinese. No matter when you came to Nanyang, the blood of Chinese people is flowing in your body. You are not abandoned members of our Chinese nation, but members of our Chinese nation. Let me say something here about how hard you have worked over the years." After speaking, Liu Yongfu bowed to everyone. When the officials of the former city hall saw how respectful Liu Yongfu was to everyone, they stood up and saluted Liu Yongfu. These people knew very well what the entire Xinghua Group Company was doing in Nanyang, and they had been supporting it openly and secretly. Although they are powerful, they have never been rude to these Chinese and overseas Chinese. Business has always been public buying and selling. As long as these Chinese and overseas Chinese have any difficulties, they will try their best to help them. If someone wants to bully these compatriots, they will be in trouble. Someone will definitely come out to deal with them. After Liu Yongfu and some rhetoric, these people knew that the day had changed and now they are Chinese,The overseas Chinese have the final say. Those Spaniards who used to ride on the heads of the Chinese and overseas Chinese will not come back. After that, our Chinese and overseas Chinese will no longer be third-class or fourth-class people. From now on, the Philippines will be owned by its own Chinese and overseas Chinese. Liu Yongfu saw that these people had clearly understood their status, so he discussed with them how to restore order in Manila as soon as possible and how to stabilize the situation in the entire Philippines. These people said that although war is not possible, they should stabilize social order and stabilize the market economy. They have some ideas. Notices were quickly posted all over Manila to allow the general public to carry out production and life with peace of mind. The newly established government guarantees the production and life of the people. Necessary punishments and sanctions will be imposed on those who do not obey the government's instructions. At the same time, the new policy Fu encouraged the people to start production and at the same time they also put forward the slogan that if you don't work, you can't eat. This sentence is mainly aimed at the local indigenous people. Many of them are very lazy and never want to work. They have rice, a pot, firewood and a stove. They never talk about "getting rich through hard work" and "diligence and thrift". Now the traditional habits of the Chinese people are about to change. At the same time, there are also tax laws and regulations for them. Taxes are levied on a per capita basis. Regardless of whether you have income or not, you have to pay taxes to the local government. They will force you to have income. If you cannot pay, you will be sent to the police. Forced labor is no longer the same as it is now. No, the supervisor has a whip in his hand. It is not used to scare people, but it will be whipped directly on the body. Text Chapter 285 Philippine Independence Text Chapter 285 Philippines Chapter 285 Philippines Chapter 285 Philippines At the same time, several Chinese schools of their own were established in Manila to provide compulsory education to the children of Chinese and overseas Chinese. Encourage Chinese and overseas Chinese children from all over the world to come to Manila to study. Of course, they will be established in various places. The corresponding schools cannot continue to allow their children to become uneducated people who will not be able to contribute to the construction of the entire Chinese world if they are uneducated. Liu Yongfu¡¯s soldiers sent the Spanish prisoners to the port so that the Spaniards could gather together and ignore them. Faced with the situation that he was driven out of the Philippines by the Chinese, Commander Francisco Felipe Pardo was very angry. He immediately decided to mobilize troops to attack those troops in the Philippines who dared to offend the Spanish. However, But they were stopped by Governor Pereno and his Chief of Staff Jose who had just returned, but they did not agree to start a war with the local rebels now. Chief of Staff Jose said to him: "Your Excellency, Commander, we cannot fight a war with them now because we simply do not have the ability to fight a war with them now." "Why?" Francisco Felipe Pardo asked. Jose said: "Please come and listen to the Governor first." Governor Pereno immediately said: "We can't go to war with them at all now. We can't do without local support at all. Everything we need We all get food and supplies from the local area. In addition, if we want to launch a war, we must get orders from His Majesty the Emperor and the Cabinet. If we don't have orders from the Emperor and the Cabinet, even if we win the war, we will be unlucky. Besides, we won¡¯t get domestic support. Chapter d)¡± Governor Pereno¡¯s words hit Francisco Felipe Pardo¡¯s proud military honor, and his face immediately didn¡¯t look good. To be honest, he didn¡¯t look good at all. He looked down upon the Spanish governor in the Philippines and thought he was just a straw bag. Governor Pereno gave advice to Francisco Felipe Pardo in terms of supplies and supplies, while Chief of Staff Jose also talked about the military aspect: "Your Excellency, Commander, our weapons are too backward compared to their soldiers. The weapons are at least twenty years behind the times. Some of our soldiers are still using some old-fashioned muzzle-loading rifles. Now they are not only breech-loading rifles, but their magazines can already hold five rounds of bullets. We have never seen this type of bomb that can be thrown by hand. Moreover, our soldiers rarely receive training, but they look like battle-hardened soldiers." "Don't we still have a navy?" "Commander? Your Excellency, don't talk about our navy. We have some old-fashioned warships and some sailing ships. They are not the same force as our navy. If you don't believe it, you can go outside and take a look at theirs. The warship is conducting military exercises at sea. "After listening to Chief of Staff Jose's words, Commander Francisco Felipe Pardo came out and stood on the beach and looked into the sea with that old-fashioned monocular telescope. Sure enough, it was not far away. On the sea there were several Chinese warships with dragon flags flying high, conducting firing training. At a distance of more than 10,000 yards, several small wooden boats were used as target ships, and the cannons on the warships opened fire. The cannonballs accurately landed on the small boats that were used as targets. The cannonballs exploded there with a huge explosion. After the smoke screen cleared, the small boats that were used as target boats were no longer visible. Commander Francisco Felipe Pardo knew that the caliber of the cannon must be above 260 mm. His sailors were already dumbfounded when they saw this situation. He also knew the military relationship with the Chinese. The power is simply incomparable. His mind was racing and he could only negotiate with them, but he didn't have any bargaining chips and this negotiation was impossible. What should we do if the three leaders return to the commander¡¯s office? Several people began to think about the whereabouts of the more than 20,000 soldiers. Now that the Philippines stopped logistical supplies, their own troops would be immediately attacked. That was unthinkable and they had no choice but to consider negotiating with them. Commander Francisco Felipe Pardo, Governor Pereno and Chief of Staff Jose returned to their original offices together. They were going to negotiate with the local government in the Philippines. Liu Yongfu received them. Feng Yingqing was behind the scenes and did not show up. Liu Yongfu said to them: "You Spaniards have invaded our Philippines for many years. Now we want it ourselves. Your troops must leave our place, otherwise We will stop supplying you with all necessities and enter a state of war, but your merchants do not have to leave. They are under our protection.¡±p; When the three of us heard that these Filipinos are quite humane, it seems that we can't be shameless and leave immediately, so as not to become cannon fodder for their cannons. Seeing that the Spaniards readily agreed, Liu Yongfu said to them simply: "You can take away your personal things. In addition to weapons, we can provide you with coal, grain, fresh water and some vegetables, etc. But You need to buy this with money.¡± The three people agreed to the Philippines¡¯ request and returned to their base. Two days later, the Spanish were sent out of the country as gifts. The cannons on the shore were pointed at several of their dilapidated warships and some cargo ships. The Spanish warships put the coats of their own cannons on them. They didn't even have the courage to fire, so they were dejected. 's returned home. Officials at all levels, who had been arranged in advance, took office to stabilize social order. Soldiers with Chinese weapons took to the streets to maintain order. The new government of the Philippines began to exercise its powers. Some soldiers and Chinese businessmen were added to the original government. Liu Yongfu became the boss here. Intelligence personnel arranged by Feng Yingqing were also responsible for helping him with management. They announced that starting from today, they have After defeating the Spaniards, they themselves announced to the whole world that they would be a sovereign country in the future. The first thing the Philippine government wanted to do was to establish diplomatic relations with China. All diplomacy, military, politics, and economy would be handled in accordance with China's methods. Of course, it was Hexing. The management methods were the same as those of the Hua Group rather than those of the Qing government. People there originally had some braids, but they disappeared in the new country. Those South Asian countries under the control of Xinghua Group Company also sent them notes recognizing them and established diplomatic relations with them. North Korea and Japan from the northeast also recognized them and established diplomatic relations with them. Text Chapter 286: A slap in the face to the Americans Chapter 286 of the main text gave the Americans a slap in the face Chapter 286 gave the Americans a slap in the face Chapter 286 gave the Americans a slap in the face Those local aborigines did not have much reaction to such political changes. Who is in charge of it? During the meal, only the upper class people knew the specific things. Most of the upper class people were Chinese and there were only a few indigenous people. Now most of the managers were also Chinese, so everything went smoothly. The store continued to open and the factory continued to work. It was just the governor of Spain. The army and the army were driven away and replaced by their own personnel as the head of the family. d Although some powerful people who were in power in Spain were very unhappy, they could see that they couldn't make a fuss at all. Moreover, the new government was better for the people than the original Spaniards. There were more taxes and less people, so what could they get? But the opposite is that there is no benefit to opposing oneself, so it is better not to oppose. The local government immediately started their construction of ports, shipyards, and ship repairers. Many people have industrial jobs. There is no problem in business. They have established good relations with some countries in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. There is no problem in business. Some local products have also begun to be shipped to the mainland. At the same time, some industrial products and daily necessities from the mainland have also been shipped here in large quantities. When this news was made public to the world, it caused an uproar throughout the world. First of all, it was the Americans. They originally wanted to get the Philippines. They sent a large number of personnel here. Except for the undisclosed army, they had everyone. But they didn't expect that the Philippines would become a sovereign country on its own overnight. This made the Americans very angry. The Chinese people's subterfuge actions undoubtedly slapped them in the face, but they had no choice. They knew that the Chinese were involved, but the raw rice had already been cooked. If you continue to object, you will be offending the Chinese people in vain. If you want to take action, you have no preparation. Besides, such a long distance is not something you can just say. The United States only expressed regret for this matter. However, they can only speed up preparations for war against Cuba and Puerto Rico in South America. The Japanese reaction to this issue was that it was done by the Chinese, but the Chinese were so hard-fisted that they had no choice but to go with him. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs acknowledged it to the Philippines through the diplomatic envoy. On the surface, the British have no business of their own. In fact, they know that as soon as their naval or civilian ships pass through Malacca, they have already entered the control of the Chinese navy. Therefore, they do not want China to become stronger and have lodged a strong protest against the Philippines. Behavior expresses condemnation. However, they are determined to unite all countries in the world to punish China. Their envoys began to carry out activities in various countries around the world to ask all countries to unite to stop China's expansionary behavior. Russia¡¯s attitude is similar to that of the British, which also expresses dissatisfaction, but its own troops have entered Chinese soil. They don¡¯t care about anything else. They are just accelerating their occupation and thinking about how to obtain greater benefits from China. France has the same attitude as Britain. Because their colonies in Southeast Asia have been seriously threatened by the Chinese, they must find ways to punish the Chinese for using other countries to attack China and profit from it. Spain, the owner of this matter, has not expressed its attitude for a long time. They have now stepped down from the position of a powerful country. Their navy and army are no match for the Chinese at all. They have no way to deal with the Chinese who are thousands of miles away. Using troops against the Chinese is too far beyond our own strength. Another big country, the United States, is eyeing their colonies in South America. It has all its heavy troops there, so it can't be tolerated if it doesn't use troops against China. They had been studying and discussing until their Philippine governor returned to Spain. They did not discuss a way. When they saw the unlucky governor came back, they asked him to report on the situation in the Philippines. Unexpectedly, what the Governor said was even more irritating. He said that if the Philippines is not allowed to be occupied by the Chinese now, it will belong to the United States in the future because he knows that the Americans have begun to invest heavily in the Philippines. Their purpose is to take the Philippines to themselves. in hands. Now that the Chinese have taken over the Philippines, it shouldn't be a bad thing for us. Fortunately, the Chinese are kinder to us. But some people immediately accused him of betraying national interests. After several days of quarrels among the ministers in the Spanish Royal Palace, and after some people compromised, they finally made the decision that they would go to war against the Chinese, but they must have the support of all European countries, otherwise they would not be able to deal with China on their own. of. So Spain just issued a strong condemnation of what happened in the Philippines. He said that he would retain the right to use troops against the Chinese. The Germans also issued a mild statement, but a month later the German minister accompanied the German Emperor'sThe messenger secretly appeared in Li Zhenhua's office. He brought two letters from the German Emperor Wilhelm II and Bismarck, the most famous iron-blooded prime minister in the world. They requested multi-faceted cooperation with Li Zhenhua's company. The proud Germans finally extended an olive branch to Li Zhenhua, a powerful figure in China. They requested technical and resource cooperation with Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Group. Li Zhenhua laughed at the old-fashioned Germans. They are now working hard to negotiate with the British. They secretly competed for the new technologies of China's new army. With their cleverness, they discovered that the Chinese's weapons in foreign wars cannot be ignored. Li Zhenhua also knows deeply that the intelligence and ability of Germans are definitely the best in the world, so the cooperation between the two parties will have a bright future. For the Philippines, other countries took the initiative to express their goodwill towards them, but the Qing government did not make any remarks. Because China's leader, Emperor Guangxu, and his backstage, the Empress Dowager Cixi, are now fetching water from fifteen buckets. Down. First of all, the Queen Mother felt that what Li Zhenhua and the others did was too ill-considered. Now her country has just stabilized, but Li Zhenhua secretly did something like this again. What if the great powers are disgusted with China again? In the inner hall of the Beijing Palace, the ministers were having a heated debate. The conservative officials, including some princes, were on the side of the Queen Mother. Emperor Guangxu and some reformist officials were on one side, and each side was against Li Zhenhua for giving the Philippines to the Philippines. Words are using this incident to attack each other. Text: The Russian Army in the Western Expedition Text: The Russian Expedition to the West Chapter 287: The Russian Expedition to the West At the same time, there is a third party here, that is, a group of Westernization officials headed by Li Hongzhang. Since they have been relatively close to Li Zhenhua recently, they have been given hints by Li Zhenhua to deal with it in a low-key manner. So they didn't say anything, it was just a quarrel between them. The reformers believe that Li Zhenhua made great contributions to opening up territory for the Qing Dynasty. We should take this opportunity to carry out internal reforms and learn from Japan's reform experience and the advanced experience of Western countries to make the country stronger. Those conservative officials believe that Li Zhenhua is greedy for credit and seeking favors. He is not afraid of offending the powers of various countries for his own merits. This will make other countries look at China with covetous eyes, causing them to attack China again, which will make China once again Enter the war. After a long debate, they did not come up with any result. In the end, Li Hongzhang was the peacemaker. He said that now that the matter has come out, we might as well wait and see how things develop. Besides, since the Philippines already has Li Zhenhua and the others, It is agreed that Li Zhenhua will handle it by himself. If there is anything, let him handle it by himself. We just need to handle our own affairs. Both sides saw that there was no good solution. After listening to Li Hongzhang's words, they felt that it was the same thing, so let him handle it. If the Spaniards are unwilling to come to fight, it will be Li Zhenhua's problem. Chapter d) It has nothing to do with us anyway. As a result, the Philippines became Li Zhenhua's own territory, and the central government of the Qing Dynasty ignored him. Li Zhenhua did not expect this decision of the Qing government. He thought that the Qing government would kick him in the face. He did not expect that the Qing government would let go of him. Such a country was given to him. I feel that this is a good way for me to handle this matter after acquiring other places. This will also be beneficial to my future development in the west. He immediately asked the relevant people to recognize them, sign a friendship treaty with the Philippines, and establish a strategic partnership with the Philippines. He sent warships to Manila and put them under his protection. Annan, Liao, Siam Self-Defense Forces, North Korea, and Japan, all the regimes under Li Zhenzong, have successively increased their economic exchanges and established treaties of friendship and mutual assistance and treaties of mutual military assistance. The attitude of the Qing government spread to Spain. The Spanish side believed that the Qing government didn't care about here and there. It seemed that it was the rebels' own business. They were about to send troops to attack the Philippines. So they went through some preparations, organized their fleet, and completed their old ships. Of course, the warships are among them, and those wooden sailing warships are indispensable. They are going to use troops against the Philippines. The supreme commander of their expeditionary force is a naval marshal who is over seventy years old. His men only have a few new warships, most of which are old-fashioned wooden-hulled sailing ships. Their fleet has lagged far behind other countries in the world. Their fleets have come out. There are actually sailing boats in it, which surprised all the countries in the world. What happened to Spain? Is their head of state out of his mind? Are we going to use those dilapidated old warships to deal with the Philippines controlled by China? Even if the Chinese are not good enough, whether their warships can reach the Philippines is a problem. Their neighbors, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, out of concern for their neighbors (actually for their future plans), their diplomats immediately persuaded Spain to give up the idea of ??sending troops to attack the Philippines immediately. They assured Spain that they would definitely find ways to teach the Chinese a lesson and would allow them to participate in joint operations and let them wait patiently for a period of time. When the intelligence officers stationed in Spain learned about this situation, they immediately reported the situation in Spain to the country. Li Zhenhua laughed. He knew that there was a "Spanish-American War" in the world. In that war, the United States won. They took Cuba, the Philippines and Puerto Rico nng became its own colony, turning the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea into its own inner lake. Now my ability can only reach Cuba and Puerto Rico, which are so far away. I don't need to think about it for now. I just need to take care of things in the Philippines. Let people from the Ministry of Intelligence encourage a group of intellectuals to disclose the current situation to the whole country through newspapers, paving the way for the general public to know more about the situation in their own country. In fact, Li Zhenhua is trying to break up with the Qing government in the future. It's enough to make preparations to break your face and let the general public know what your purpose is. The problem in the Philippines has been solved. Now that the east and south have formed a complete island chain, if others want to do something to China, they should think carefully about it. From now on, the construction of our own south will be accelerated. Whether it is political, military, economic, etc., we must speed up. First, we must guard against outside interference, and second, we must make the lives of the people there better. Li Zhenhua put down other work in his hands and came to Beijing to discuss with the Queen Mother and the Fourth Emperor that he would lead troops to fight in the northwest.??The two women were very happy when they heard about the Russian invasion. Now the Russian army in the northwest has been suppressing the Qing army and fighting the reinforcements they sent. The Russian army just occupied that place and refused to leave. Now when they heard that Li Zhenhua was going to the northwest Neither of them was unhappy. When Li Zhenhua saw that they agreed, he went out and said to them: "The new army is not yet fully committed to the battle, but I want to let the new army undergo a real combat test and bring them as backup. This requires dispatching the main force of the Qing Dynasty mng "The current situation is that the battle against Russia in the northeast and northwest is not going well. Although there are many troops sent out, they have not achieved much results. Now after hearing Li Zhenhua's words, the Queen Mother and the Emperor immediately agreed. They believed that Li Zhenhua He is a blessed general who has not lost in foreign wars. If he comes forward, he will definitely be able to take back all the territories occupied by Russia. ??Besides, the MNG ancient cavalry is not so easy to manage unless the MNG ancient princes and some Manchu nobles can command them. It is difficult for others to command them. Now that Li Zhenhua proposed it, they talked to him about the situation and let him think about it. Li Zhenhua said: "That doesn't matter. I just choose some outstanding troops among them and take the others. I don't want them." The Queen Mother agreed to Li Zhenhua's request and asked him to send out 30,000 men from six alliances from Mnggu. That's it. Guangxu immediately issued an imperial edict to the ancient princes of Mng, asking their six tribes to prepare troops, and asked the prince to go to them to select 30,000 troops and then follow Li Zhenhua to Xinjiang to fight the Russians. Text Chapter 288 Huge Logistics Team Text Chapter 288 Huge Logistics Team Chapter 288 Huge Logistics Team Chapter 288 Huge Logistics Team Li Zhenhua returned to his place of residence in Tianjin. The reason why he chose the small station is that Yuan Shikai in history was in Tianjin. The conditions there were good for training the new army at the small station, so he stayed there. He summoned all the people in charge of economic affairs from all over the country to Tianjin. Before leaving, he wanted to understand all aspects of the situation and talk about what should be said. At the same time, he also arranged and deployed the work here at the small station. Several generals who accompanied the expedition came. In fact, the main ones were Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen (who had already set off for Yili), Xiao Guoqiang, and Xu Shichang, Li Biao and others who were responsible for staying behind. In the past, the central government's several western expeditions were all about overwhelming the country's troops. In the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, from the Kangxi period to the Qianlong period, and later Zuo Zongtang and others, the civilian transport teams that transported supplies alone amounted to more than one million people. It takes a long time for people to do it, and it takes several years each time. This time Li Zhenhua marched to the west and brought many people with him. One infantry division had already been training in the west in advance. One desert special forces cavalry division. In addition, there were two cavalry divisions from the Mnggu tribe and one artillery brigade. The total strength was less than eight. Thousands of people. There are many people in the logistics field and a large number of migrant workers are used. However, at this time, the railway has reached Baoji, Shaanxi, and the railway in front is also under construction. Relatively speaking, the labor force is much less. If they had the original transportation capacity of 80,000 people, why would they need 300,000 people to support logistics work? Now with the transportation of cars and trains, although it can save a lot of people, it is still guaranteed without more than 100,000 people. Can't. Although there are not many in number, in terms of equipment, they are the best in the world. Each cavalryman has a saber and a cavalry-specific gun. This gun is actually shorter than the gun used by the infantry. The magazine capacity is one per person. One hundred rounds of ammunition, four grenades, a kettle head, in addition to his original hat, there is also a steel helmet. Each company has a machine gun platoon, three heavy machine guns and zero mortars. The color uniform on his body is mainly white. Add a small amount of black s and yellow s. The infantry and their equipment were almost the same except for a horse and a saber, plus an engineer's shovel. The artillery units are all imitations of the German Krupp 105 cannon and the French 85 infantry gun. Li Zhenhua means to use these 80,000 people to control the entire West Asia region in his own hands. Regarding communications, the radio is now much smaller and weighs only a few dozen kilograms. It has been equipped to regiment-level units, which will increase the security factor for future military command. There are also telephones and each group has its own wired communication connection. It turns out that the Western Expedition of the Qing Dynasty required the strength of the whole country. Hundreds of thousands of troops plus more than one million civilians, this war cannot be fought easily. It was the original Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and Zuo Zongtang. It cost tens of millions of taels of silver. But as someone who has traveled through time and space, I know very well that Russia is a very expansionist nation. If we don¡¯t fight them now, we will have to fight them in the future. Anyway, we can¡¯t let them in the west. Stand firm. Nowadays, a large part of the logistics is cars, but because the distance is too long, there are only hundreds of cars to pull oil. Because we are marching on the ancient plateau to the west, there are no harsh mountain roads like the south, so the functions of the cars can be fully utilized. Behind them, there were several car groups that were continuously transporting large quantities of military supplies, weapons and ammunition, medical supplies, food, fodder, etc. to the front. But the supply of oil is a problem. But Li Zhenhua knows the oil-producing areas in the west, so he must take it into consideration this time. After the military affairs were arranged, those responsible for the economic affairs also arrived, mainly Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhan Tianyou, Shen Baoxiang, Lin Zhiming, Zhu Baosan, Zhao Hongyan and Li Zhenhua's two wives. After everyone arrived, these people expressed dissatisfaction with Li Zhenhua's decision to go out in person. They thought he should not go out in person. If there were any matters, just let the brothers below go. However, what Li Zhenhua was thinking in his heart was not convenient to tell everyone. He could only talk vaguely about it. Cover up the past. The main request for Zhao Hongyan from Fangcheng, Zhu Baosan from Shanghai, and Lin Zhiming from Dongying and Li Zhenhua is to let them continue to make money for themselves, because as long as the money is beaten, the money will be like running water. This must not be relaxed. In addition, Sheng Xuanhuai feels Go to Shanxi and contact the famous financiers in Shanxi to mobilize them to invest in various places and make greater contributions to the powerful country. At the same time, for the construction of the west, it is necessary to completely build the northwest transportation artery and build a direct railway to Xinjiang. Now people have seen the role of railways. If there were railways, this expedition would be nothing. But since there is no railway, this expedition still depends on people's feet and horses. I hope they can be used in the near future. Just fine.And the Karamay Oilfield should be developed now, otherwise it would be too troublesome to transport a large amount of refined oil from the mainland. If the oil in Xinjiang can be used, wouldn't it be much easier? Lin Zhiming is responsible for this matter. You must know that the mayor of him is the mayor of an oil field. Lin Zhiming immediately agreed. Lin Zhiming said: "As long as there is oil there, we guarantee that it will be pumped out within half a year and then it can be supplied to the front immediately." The troops are using it." Li Zhenhua said to him: "There is definitely oil there, and it won't cost you anything. You just have to prepare the oil refining equipment in advance." Li Zhenhua's words made everyone very happy. He doesn¡¯t understand, but if he doesn¡¯t tell others, it¡¯s hard for others to pursue him and ask. Zhan Tianyou also immediately stated that he would prepare for the Xinjiang Railway as soon as possible and strive to use it in the later stages of Li Zhenhua's expedition. If it was not possible, he would first build a simple railway for transportation. Li Zhenhua said to Zhan Tianyou: "You just have to deal with the railway matters. I won't say more. Now it seems that you are in good spirits, but you must pay attention to your body. If there is something wrong, use your mind more. Let the young man Let's go and do it." Zhan Tianyou said: "Now that I am much more relaxed, the young people can already carry the heavy burden. In addition, we can now produce the locomotive heads ourselves. The trial operation is now good, and soon all our locomotives will be. Once it¡¯s domestically produced, we can still export it.¡± Text Chapter 289 The name of the war horse is Tiger Text Chapter 289 The name of the war horse is Tiger Chapter 289 The name of the war horse is Tiger Chapter 289 The name of the war horse is Tiger Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Thank you so much. You have really worked hard for the development of our railway industry. You He is the number one railway man in China. 8 Fast Updates" Zhan Tianyou said with a smile: "Aren't we all working hard for our country? I just did what I should for the prosperity of the country. After the meeting, Li Zhenhua sent them away. The economic masters from all walks of life started their work immediately after they returned. They must actively cooperate with Li Zhenhua on the battlefield situation ahead. In the evening, Li Zhenhua sat with the two ladies. They hadn't been with him for a long time. He was running around every day and couldn't care about them. Seeing that Wang Xin was already very stupid, she was already five years pregnant for the second time. After a month, Li Zhenhua asked her for her opinion and asked her where she planned to go. Wang Xin said, "Don't worry about me. It's just that your going makes me worried. There's no one around to take care of you. Just let Sister Yaqi go with you." I'm good at riding horses and so on. I can take care of you." Yaqi immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have me, isn't there a beautiful woman from North Korea who will go too?" There was a telegram from Mng Gu saying that they had taken Mng. After the selection of the ancient cavalry, they asked when they would be replaced with equipment. Li Zhenhua ordered to set off in three days. Three days later, Li Zhenhua set off. He led a car regiment full of weapons and headed for Beijing. Xu Shichang and Li Biao, who were left behind, were sent far away before they stopped. . d Li Zhenhua¡¯s car went directly to Beijing. He went to the emperor again to say goodbye to Emperor Guangxu. Guangxu personally sent him out of Desheng in Beijing. When Guangxu saw that Li Zhenhua¡¯s guard only had 500 people, he said to him: "Your people It¡¯s too few. Why don¡¯t I bring 10,000 of my Royal Guards so that they can protect you?¡± Li Zhenhua said, ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I¡¯m used to using my people and I won¡¯t go to the front line to ask for that much.¡± Those people are of no use, so let them be responsible for protecting you. "To be honest, he really looked down on those so-called imperial guards. Not only did they have little combat effectiveness, but they also added some unnecessary logistical burdens. There was no need to do so. "You can be regarded as an imperial envoy, but you don't have any decent ceremonial guards. This is too shabby." "It's okay. The ceremonial guard won't work. Just wait for my good news. I must let these old men know that we are "Li Zhenhua got on his car and waved to Emperor Guangxu, then ran away. The emperor sighed in his heart: It would be great if all the government officials in the Qing Dynasty were as loyal and capable as the emperor. It's a pity that he is capable. He shook his head and saw that Li Zhenhua's motorcade was far away. He also turned around and went back. He asked the eunuch below to talk to the Queen Mother and said that Li Zhenhua had left. The Queen Mother said in her heart that he might not be here again after leaving. What trouble did I get into? Li Zhenhua¡¯s convoy caught up with the motor transport group¡¯s convoy before it reached Zhangjiakou. He said hello to them and walked ahead. The meeting place they had set was Baotou, and they arrived soon. Those ancient princes were already waiting there. Li Zhenhua briefly met with everyone. His first priority was to see how his troops were doing. Xiao Guoqiang, who came first, had two ancient men standing behind him. Xiao Guoqiang gave them an introduction. He pointed out The two of them said: "This one is Bater (an ancient saying means hero) This one is Bilige (an ancient saying means a wise man)) These are two excellent cavalry leaders." Li Zhenhua said: "Okay, let's go and see Meet our heroic cavalry." Several people rode to their cavalry station. Li Zhenhua was riding a maroon Japanese war horse. It was said to be the war horse of a division commander of the Japanese army. According to the Japanese, this horse was definitely good. The horse's head is upright and delicate, and its body proportions are very suitable. It doesn't feel too big or too small. Its ears are medium to slightly long, and it looks flexible and alert. When it runs, it sticks close to the back of its head. Its chest is broad and large, allowing it to accommodate a chest with a large lung capacity. The whole body feels extremely smooth and soft, just like a piece of satin. It runs really well and Li Zhenhua also likes this horse very much. But as soon as they arrived here, the princes first gave Li Zhenhua a horse. This horse was snow-white, and it had a nice name "Bars", which means "tiger" in the ancient Mng language. It is said that when he was young, he was the leader of a group of horses. One winter, his group of horses encountered a pack of wolves. The horses were a little panicked, but he immediately ran around his group of horses, bumping and biting, using his bark. The sounds and body language of the horses make the horses form a circle with their heads inward and buttocks outwards. In this way, the wolves are afraid of the horses' hind hooves and do not dare to attack the horses easily. They will run outside the horses and see those who are bold. The wolf rushed forward. It used its hind hooves to hit the wolf, and then used its huge hooves to step hard on the night light.It killed seven or eight wolves and saved the entire herd. Later, its owner called it a tiger. After Li Zhenhua heard the story of this horse, he happily accepted the horse from Mnggu's friend, but the horse was very unfriendly to him. As soon as he approached the horse, he immediately stood up and used its huge front. He wanted to slap Li Zhenhua with his hoof, but as a warrior, Li Zhenhua was irritated by the horse. He dodged its attack, grabbed the horse's reins, and flew onto the horse. Yaqi was smiling on the side. She knew that her husband would not lose to that horse. He would definitely surrender it. At first, the Japanese horse was not convinced and soon asked him to surrender. However, Jin Xifeng on the side His little face turned pale with fright. The "tiger" went crazy all of a sudden, standing forward and kicking, trying to throw Li Zhenhua off its back, but Li Zhenhua seemed to have grown on its back. He started running wildly and then came to an emergency stop, but Li Zhenhua had already taken precautions and kicked his body forward hard with his feet and fell backwards. The horse then stood upright again. However, Li Zhenhua was already prepared and leaned forward. The horse struggled a lot and couldn't throw him away. When it got down, it lay down on the ground again and started to roll. However, Li Zhenhua got off the horse and saw that it was about to get up, so he jumped on the horse again. When the horse saw Li Zhenhua, he rode up again. It turned its head and bit Li Zhenhua on the leg again. Lifting his leg and lightly kicking its nose, the horse saw that it was out of control and ran quickly towards the distance until it was tired, and then it slowly calmed down. Text Chapter 290 Mongolian Cavalry Division Text Chapter 290 Mongolian Cavalry Division Chapter 290 Mng Ancient Cavalry Division Chapter 290 Mng Ancient Cavalry Division Li Zhenhua rode it and turned back. When he got off the horse, he saw that the horse was already sweating a little. He gave it a gentle hand on the horse's back. After stroking it gently for a while and brushing it with a brush for a while, it slowly calmed down, sniffed Li Zhenhua's hand with its nose, and then rubbed Li Zhenhua's body with its own head to tickle it, which meant that it had completely Convinced. At this time, the princes of the Mng ancient tribe started to cheer together: "I didn't expect that my husband-in-law is really good. No one has ever ridden this horse." Several Mng ancient princes came over and greeted him respectfully. said. Li Zhenhua said to them: "Thank you for the horse. It is really a good horse. Most of the horses I rode before were ponies from the south, but they were not as tall as the horses from the north. Now I look at the Japanese horse and it is not as good as it." "We." I thought the Duke could only fight on foot but not on horseback." "I know how to ride a horse, but there are only a few of them. Let's go and see our cavalry warriors." The cavalrymen of the Mng ancient tribe have already gathered. Their formation was not very neat, but their heroic and sturdy figures made Li Zhenhua very happy. He knew that if these soldiers had undergone rigorous training, they would be a team that would scare the enemy. They prepared an exclusive program for the cavalry for Li Zhenhua's arrival. Battelle and Bilige directed them to perform horse strikes, chops and other events. Although the weapons in their hands were not very good, their shoving was very good. They participated in the performance. The soldiers' shots on the galloping horses all hit the target in front of them. Some straw men cavalry were arranged on both sides of the road. They rushed over and cut down all the straw men on both sides with their sabers. Those Mng ancient princes who came to visit were very satisfied with the performance of their warriors. They saw that the prince-in-law also looked happy, and their hearts were relieved. At least they thought that Li Zhenhua was satisfied with them. Li Zhenhua did not disappoint them. Li Zhenhua announced that he would immediately change their equipment. Groups of MNG ancient warriors went to the front of the car to receive their weapons. When they got the brand-new lances and sabers, they were very happy. That soldier was not What do you like about your weapons? I believe it won't happen. Hand grenades, mortars and heavy machine guns have not been distributed to soldiers for the time being. They can only be distributed after training. After the exercise, Li Zhenhua and the Mng ancient princes reviewed their teams, and then the enthusiastic young men and women of the Mng ancient tribe presented hada and milk tea to Li Zhenhua. Everyone sat on the grass and started their welcome party. The enthusiastic Mng ancient girls and boys performed Mng ancient dances and sang their folk songs for them. Li Zhenhua felt that they had the flavor of Hu Songhua. So Li Zhenhua and Yaqi also sang a melodious Mng ancient folk song "A galloping horse gallops to protect the frontier". Accompanied by the sound of the matouqin, the Mng ancient warriors and people also sang with him. This made the Mng ancient people The relationship between the compatriots and Li Zhenhua has become much closer. It goes without saying that Yaqi has the blood of the Mng ancient tribe. People in the world worship heroes, especially the compatriots of the Mng ancient tribe. They have long heard of Li Zhenhua's series of battles against foreigners and have admired him very much. They all toasted to him, although Yaqi has always While trying to persuade him, Li Zhenhua still got drunk. When he woke up the next morning, his head was still dizzy. He thought he could resist the anger, but he didn't expect that the hospitable brother Mng Gu would give him a frank interview and make him drunk. He thought he was the only one drunk. Only now do I know that those who were put down yesterday are not a few, and they do not distinguish between ancient people and Han people. In the afternoon, Li Zhenhua held the first military meeting. The MNG troops had nothing to say and they were ready to leave immediately. However, Li Zhenhua was not in a hurry to leave now. He wanted to use this long-distance march to train the troops. First, they broke up the troops and then reorganized them with some Han brothers. After reorganization, the troops were organized into regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads. These people were all selected soldiers anyway. If we just talk about fighting and not being afraid of death, that's not to say. But not in other aspects. "The typical thing is that the discipline is much worse and there are many things that disturb the people, so Li Zhenhua will start from here. First, they arranged the cadres of the army, and Battelle and Bilige served as division commanders and sent them a group of cadres. The ancient warriors admired heroes. They saw the abilities of those Han warriors, so they did not reject their regulations. I made some necessary regulations for everyone to remember and then started the preliminary training. For the discipline of the original forces, XNG is poor, so the main requirements for XNG's requirements for discipline are that there are orders and bans to stop the collaboration between companions and comrades.These are things that the original troops were not good at. Now the main thing is to conduct training in these aspects. Of course, the troops who came with Li Zhenhua are also repeatedly demonstrating actions, actions of small units, and collective actions of large corps. Everyone has done a lot times of drills. This training lasted for five days. On this day the troops were about to set off. The crowds who came to see them off could not be seen. The noble princes were already waiting there. Behind them were many horses, oxen, and donkeys to provide supplies for the soldiers who were going out. or camel-drawn trailers and carts. Each tribe and alliance paid one hundred thousand taels of silver as their filial piety to the court. The cavalry soldiers who were already familiar with all the weapons stood up in formation in high spirits. The team of 30,000 people formed a huge momentum. The training these days has paid off. The formations of each unit are very different from before. Although the clothes are still the same (Li Zhenhua did not change the clothes of the Mng Ancient warriors because he thought the clothes of the Mng Ancient Clan were more casual. Besides, if the weather gets cold in the future, their leather robes will also be fine), but the aura is different. All the new equipment is incomparable. In the queue, the commander gave an order and the soldiers drew their swords and raised them high in their hands. It was a forest of knives, or an ocean of knives. What they faced were the invaders who dared to invade us. After a farewell toast, Li Zhenhua ordered his white horse "Tiger" to set off. Next to him was a large group of horses advancing rapidly. Li Zhenhua now felt as if he had gone back hundreds of years. He was following Genghis Khan's large army. Centuries before the expedition, there was a group of men like this. They kept marching westward and reached the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

Lao Mozi in front of Xincheng has been attacking for more than a month. The Qing troops are defending there. They can no longer retreat and will give up Dihua to the Russian army. Faced with the current situation, several people expressed their opinions. Feng Guozhang meant to be more cautious and wait for the arrival of the infantry before launching an attack. Nie Qing, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, agreed, but the two MNG division commanders disagreed and they wanted to attack immediately. To start the attack, first clear the siege of the new city and then attack the enemy. Li Zhenhua carefully looked at the situation on the map. It was very simple to break the siege. As long as he cut off the supplies of the Russian army, they would naturally withdraw. But this time he led the army not only to relieve them, but also to rescue them. All the territory that originally belonged to him was taken back. That would be more troublesome. ¡°The first is to inflict pain on the enemy, and the second is to make those around us who think that Russia is strong and run to their side return to our Chinese protection. Then the entire western Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and other places will all belong to China. Then what he will have to face is the big but weak Persian Empire. His ultimate goal is to take that big and weak country under his control. But it has huge energy reserves for the future. Will the next war be caused by the oil and energy issues under their feet? The part of the territory that is now Kazakhstan joined the Bukhara Khanate in the 19th century. In the 17th century, it was ruled by the Yarkand Khanate. After the Qing Dynasty unified Xinjiang, it established Lekulhuizhuang (today's Tashkorgan area) and granted Archimubek the rank of fifth-rank official under the jurisdiction of the Yarkand Minister. After the establishment of Xinjiang Province, the Ili Defense and Communication Department was affiliated to Kashgar Road. The ancient name of Pamir, Congling, has always been Chinese territory. In the 24th year of Qianlong's reign, the Qing army fought against Da, Xiao and Zhuo Mu in Yishler Kurnoor, and a Qianlong royal monument was erected in the north of the lake. The place where the monument was erected was therefore named "Sumantash", which means "stone with writing". After the Qing Dynasty¡¯s recent decline in national power, the Haokand tribe continued to invade the border and captured Lekul. Many Tajiks fled to the Yarkand area to abandon their herding and engage in farming. In the autumn of the 16th year of Daoguang's reign, Haogand invaded Lekul, Aqimubek, and Kurchak was unfortunately killed in battle. Half a year later, the local people and his successor Burke captured the leaders of the occupying forces and handed them to the Yarkand Minister of Affairs. Then together they expelled the invading forces. In the 17th year of Guangxu's reign, the Tsarist Russian army came to Ishler Kurnoor and stole the imperial monument of Qianlong. This land lost its credentials. Later, as Russia's power gradually became stronger, these ethnic groups began to submit to Russia's protection. It only took a few decades. The purpose of Li Zhenhua¡¯s Western Expedition this time was to bring those nations and lands that had surrendered to Russia back into the embrace of the motherland. In today's era, it is still important to decide who has the strongest fist. Li Zhenhua knows that his current army's strength is stronger than theirs, so letting them return is the purpose. Considering these circumstances, Li Zhenhua decided to give the enemy a severe lesson. The main force of the New Army was used to attack the enemy's rear. Battelle's 3rd MNG Ancient Cavalry Division and Bilige's 4th MNG Ancient Cavalry Division faced the enemy directly and gave them a The misconception is that the Qing army continues to use the original method of fighting against them, making them think that the Qing army is still the same as before. However, in the eyes of the locals, this MNG ancient army was a god-like existence. In the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century, it was invincible. If these MNG ancient cavalry appeared, the enemy would be quite shocked. Now even if he uses MNG ancient cavalry to deal with them, Li Zhenhua will not use his own soldiers to fight the enemy head-on. He will use his powerful firepower to deal with them. At that moment, Li Zhenhua ordered Battelle's three divisions on the left and Bilig's four divisions on the right. Each of them used a regiment to attack the enemy, mobilize the enemy from their siege, get out of their artillery range, and then use their own firepower to attack the enemy. Nie Qing's 1st Cavalry Division outflanked the enemy and attacked their rear. This way, the enemy would be in trouble and could complete the purpose of supporting the city. At night, the soldiers were ready to attack. Behind them were supplies sent to the city. There were cars and large vehicles. They were all ready. Those Mng ancient soldiers were already anxious. They were determined to let their commander see their combat effectiveness. So For a long time, those Han brothers have been taking care of me. Now I want them to see that these people are not just for eating. We are also bloody men. Even the hooves of those war horses were constantly scratching the ground. They were not used to being exhausted in this way without fighting. Finally the order came down and the riders on the horses loosened their reins and they immediately began to rush forward with joy. Seeing the reinforcements of the Qing army arriving, the commander of the Russian army knew that they were veryThey were about to deliver supplies to the city, but they didn't expect that the Chinese would take action so quickly. When they heard the huge sound of iron hoofs on the ground from the east, the Russian soldiers immediately entered a fighting state. They immediately began to march into the distance. But because there was no light, their shrapnel was not very accurate, but even so, their shrapnel also attracted the shrapnel from the Chinese cannons. The soldiers on horseback were all shooting with their carbines. As soon as they found that the opponent had a shrapnel fire, they would immediately shoot there. However, because they were on fast-moving horses, their shrapnel shots were ineffective. Great. But even such an attack dealt a big blow to the Russian troops. The current system in Russia is serfdom. Their country is now very poor. They are not even as good as the original Qing Dynasty. They don¡¯t have many artillery at all. But because of their greed, they covet China¡¯s territory. They will never give up what they get. Although they saw reinforcements coming from China, they did not give up the siege of the new city. They just ordered the soldiers to be more vigilant. Now that the Chinese rushed over, they did not take any measures to hedge against the Chinese. They just ordered the soldiers to shoot to block the squadron's attack. Text Chapter 293 Night Attack on Russian Army Text Chapter 293: Night attack on the Russian army Chapter 293: Night attack on the Russian army Chapter 293: Night attack on the Russian army In this era, the cavalry is a rapid response force and they are indispensable in the war. Li Zhenhua originally did not attach much importance to the cavalry, but because Because of his understanding of the Russian army, he also began to pay attention to the cavalry. If there are more modern equipment in the future, then it is okay to remove the cavalry. But in the current situation, if there is no cavalry, if they face the Russian army, they will suffer a loss. d So it didn¡¯t take long for the Chinese cavalry to rush forward. The soldiers on horseback put their carbines in their left hands, and some put their rifles on their backs. They took out their beloved sabers and rushed towards the enemy with shouts. Facing the Chinese charge, the Russian soldiers were frightened and began to run back. On such a prairie, the cavalry faced the infantry. If you didn't have weapons that could defeat the enemy, you would be massacred. There was only one way to escape. He is leaving his back to be hacked by the enemy. Soon a hole was torn in front of the dungeon mn. The soldiers did not pursue the enemy. They only waited on both sides of the city mn to guard the city mn. They wanted to cover the convoy transporting supplies entering the city. The transportation team behind immediately started to move. The carriages and cars rushed forward, especially those car drivers who turned on their headlights to illuminate the earth as if it were daytime. Those carriages immediately took advantage of the bright light and rushed directly towards the city. The car team behind also rushed forward together. As soon as the soldiers in the city saw it, they immediately loosened the suspension bridge, opened the city, and put the cars and carriages in. After the transport team entered the city, the city mn closed the suspension bridge again and pulled it up. Two red signal flares rose in the air. d. The cavalrymen during the signal bomb attack in the city immediately turned their horses and left the battlefield and ran away. Their mission had been successfully completed. Li Zhenhua expressed that he was very satisfied with the troops who participated in the battle. The two commanders Mng Gu didn't understand what this victory meant? Not many old men were killed at all, but Li Zhenhua's explanation made them understand. It turned out that Li Zhenhua was worried about the discipline of the army. There were orders and prohibitions. If these were not achieved, it would not be a well-disciplined army. But once he was fighting with the enemy and heard the order to retreat, it might not be so pleasant. But when he saw the soldiers of the Mng ancient tribe reacting immediately after receiving the order, he was very happy. The next morning, as soon as Li Zhenhua got up, the guard immediately reported: "Minister Wang from the Logistics Department has arrived." Li Zhenhua immediately greeted Wang Shizhen and shook hands with him and asked, "How is it? Is the military depot completed?" "The reserve work of combat readiness materials has been completed and has begun. Now it can support the war." The two returned to the tent. Wang Shizhen said to Li Zhenhua: "The only thing that does not meet the requirements is that the military station was not built in Yili as planned. I had to temporarily build it in the mountains." Li Zhenhua immediately said: "No problem, you should wait until we conquer this place and then you can move them to this new city." At this time, Feng Guozhang also came in and saw it. A large amount of military supplies were delivered, and the three division commanders also came. They shook hands with Wang Shizhen one by one, and everyone said good luck to each other and sat down together. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "Now we have no worries about supplies. Our supplies can ensure that our battle continues. Now I have decided to start attacking the enemy tonight. At night, we will try our skills. The ancient warriors fought very well. It depends on how our Han warriors perform today." Everyone laughed together after hearing Li Zhenhua's words. Seeing everyone's high interest, Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "What if you were Kimmel and you suffered a small loss today?" After hearing Li Zhenhua's prompt, people began to think. Feng Guozhang spoke first: "This Vladimir Kimir must find a way to regain face after our raid on him. This guy is stubborn and can't do it in the military, but he is unwilling to listen to others. He will definitely launch an attack on us. But it takes time to prepare. If we attack them today, they will definitely have no defense. Then we can expel them." Li Zhenhua said: "This time we are not only going to expel them. The question is, if we want to hit them hard, it is better to cut off one of their fingers and hit them hard." Several division commanders also agreed with him, so Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "This time we still have to carry out a surprise attack. However, after the enemy has been beaten by us, they must be on guard. We might as well change the focus of the attack and strike in places they would not expect. They must focus their defense on the east, but this time we want to attack them. What happened next was something they didn¡¯t expect.¡±Guoqiang said: "This would be best. It would be even better if we give them a feint attack from the east. It would be better if we transfer all their main forces to the east and we take the opportunity to attack the headquarters behind them." " Listening to everyone's discussion, Li Zhenhua decided: "Okay, let's do this. Your mission of the artillery brigade is to attack the enemy in the east. Now we need to mark the enemy's concentrated points in advance so that we can attack them at night. You will start the attack at 12:30 and ensure that the artillery strikes will stop at 12:55." Artillery Brigade Chang Jiangshan happily agreed: "I promise to complete the mission tonight." "Battle. You are responsible for taking out the Russian artillery positions in the southwest of the city. You have to surprise the enemy by approaching them covertly, and then suddenly rush in and seize the cannons. It is best to blow them up so that they can no longer use them. " " Nie Qing's 1st Division and Bilige's 4th Division must use all your strength to first advance in front of the enemy in concealment, hide your horses, and then prepare defenses. Wait until our shelling is over, and then begin to attack the enemy with dense Use a lot of firepower to kill and injure the enemy. When the enemy starts to reinforce to the east, you attack Battelle's third division again and let them enter. Make sure that the large force can wipe out most of this part of the enemy. This way we can eat up at least 20,000 of their troops. "The commander-in-chief of this battle is Feng Guozhang, and Xiao Guoqiang will cooperate with him." Xiao Guoqiang immediately said, "Commander-in-Chief, fight now without waiting for our infantry to come up." They will be more tired in the future and they have to rest before they can enter the battle. It will be too long for us to wait. " People immediately started talking after hearing Li Zhenhua's words, but they all heard that the commander-in-chief is Feng Guozhang, so what is the commander-in-chief going to do? Xiao Guoqiang immediately asked: "Then what is the commander-in-chief going to do?" Li Zhenhua said vaguely: "I have other tasks." Text Chapter 294 Target Russian Army Command Text Chapter 294 Target Russian Army Command Chapter 294 Target Russian Army Command Chapter 294 Target Russian Army Command After the officers checked their watches, they all went back to make preparations. However, the attentive Feng Guozhang asked again: "What about you? Tell me what you are going to do." "Of course I can go to war. You are the commander-in-chief. Isn't it good for you to leave the headquarters?" Command me here to deal with their headquarters." "Commander-in-Chief, that won't work. Although I am your subordinate, I won't let you go this time. If something happens to you, all our plans will be ruined. Please think again." "Okay, Lao Feng, I promise not to take action personally this time." Feng Guozhang muttered, "That's not the case." Li Zhenhua had no choice but to deal with him. Said: "I will attack you and I will never go to the battlefield casually again." During the day, except for the necessary personnel, most of the soldiers in the squadron's defense zone were resting, but Feng Guozhang and Li Zhenhua were keeping an eye on the enemy's movements and preparing for the night. Operation After dark, the soldiers began to prepare. The soldiers who went out for reconnaissance came back and reported that the enemy's troops of more than 10,000 people had arrived in the east of the new city to support the troops there. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to Feng Guozhang: "These old men are really obedient. As expected, they started to reinforce the east. Then we Just kill them more and give them some face." Li Zhenhua's guard camp began to take action in the evening. Yaqi and Jin Xifeng also began to prepare. They were worried about Li Zhenhua's actions. They wanted to protect him all the time. Li Zhenhua's original intention was not to let them participate in the action. But he knew that Yaqi was not good at speaking in this regard, and that Jin Xifeng was also a kind person who said it was useless when encountering such a thing, so he had to let them go. Under the moonlight, Nie Qing's commander Guan Xiaofeng and Bi Lige's team had finished gathering. They saw that Li Zhenhua's guard battalion had also gathered. They looked at each other and walked up to Li Zhenhua: "What are you doing? "I will follow you. Let's go. The team is impatient." After saying this, he took the reins of the horse and ran forward. They quietly bypassed the north of the new city and advanced. The Mng ancient warriors all put on their leather clothes, and the Han warriors also added some more clothes. The night here is much cooler than in the mainland. Bi Lige and Guan Xiaofeng saw that the official was not easy to talk to, so they had to lead their teams separately. They bypassed the north of the new city and began to advance west. After reaching the enemy's back, the team stopped advancing. Li Zhenhua said to them: "Guan Tuan Commander, follow me and my guard battalion. My strength is very strong. I am in charge of the enemy's headquarters. You can arrange your own affairs." Bilig said: "Commander-in-Chief, I will give you another regiment "Don't say any more. Just stick to the plan. You are the main attacker. I am cooperating and I can't use your troops any more." Bilige is also a man with a temper. When he saw it, he immediately shouted: "Captain, your guards are following me." Commander, if something happens to the Commander-in-Chief, I will come back and chop you with my knife." After saying that, he ran away without looking back. Guan Xiaofeng did not dare to do this. He just said to Li Zhenhua: "Commander-in-Chief, you can't rush up when the time comes. If you go up, "Commander Nie doesn't need to chop me with a knife." "Don't talk nonsense. When did Commander Nie do such harm to you?" "The commander told me personally that I must protect the commander-in-chief and never let him come." Go to the front line." Guan Xiaofeng said: "I gave the division commander a guarantee: please rest assured, division commander, I will take good care of the commander-in-chief." "Okay, don't say anything anymore, I will let you go back and obey the order. I'm in command." Guan Xiaofeng didn't dare to say anything. Li Zhenhua saw that his officers at all levels were so concerned about him, and he knew that he should be more cautious, so he led his reinforced regiment towards the back of the enemy's headquarters. When he was still more than a thousand meters away from the enemy, he ordered the soldiers to dismount and quietly approach the enemy. They stopped three hundred meters away from the enemy. From the perspective of infantry, the distance was a little farther. But from the perspective of cavalry, the distance was still smaller because the cavalry's attack relied on speed and momentum. At this distance, the horses Just enough to run and reach the top speed, this is considered the best speed. Li Zhenhua sent a few soldiers to the front to reconnoiter to see if the enemy was ambushing and there were any obstacles on the road. The other soldiers were all ready for battle and were waiting for the fight to start from the east. . It was the middle of the month on the yin calendar. At midnight, when the moon was at its brightest due south, I heard the sound of cannons coming one after another from the east.The gunfire sounded continuously. The soldiers raised their heads and looked into the distance, but because the distance was too far, they could not see clearly. They only saw the fire caused by the explosion of the artillery shells. Thirty minutes later, the sound of the gunfire stopped suddenly just as it started. Then the sound of running horses and the shouts of soldiers were heard. There were also people running at the Russian headquarters. It seemed that someone was reporting to their commander. Not long after, enemies came running from a distance to report to the commander, and then someone ran to the distance again. After a while, the Russian artillery also started firing, but their firing had no target at all. It seemed to be the camp of the New Army, and it seemed like they were blocking the firing, but they soon stopped because they didn't know who the attacking troops were. over there. The shouts of killing in the east were louder than lng. Finally, after several communications from officers and soldiers, the Russian commander issued an order for reinforcements. A group of cavalry left the camp and began to reinforce to the east. When Li Zhenhua saw that the enemy was dispatched, he also He was relieved. Thirty minutes later, Li Zhenhua ordered the cavalry to start charging. He wanted to use this opportunity to defeat the enemy's command, and then fish in troubled waters. The soldier was already anxious. As soon as the reins of the horse were loosened in his hands, the war horse rushed forward like an arrow from the string. The guards behind him closely guarded him, and the two female generals were also surrounded. The first division and three regiments led by Li Zhenhua, plus Li Zhenhua's guard battalion and Bilige's guards, are definitely the main force. Li Zhenhua's guard battalion is the leader, followed by Bilige's guards, and then the third regiment's troops. The entire team It formed a cone and rushed straight towards the enemy's headquarters. The Russian army regarded the west side of the new city as its rear. They set up nothing outside the camp. They believed that the Qing army had been surrounded by them. The troops they came to reinforce had no energy to attack in one or two days because they were marching long distances. They did not wait until they arrived. When they came here after a break, the attack on them had already started, so they didn't defend their back at all. The fast-charging cavalry quickly arrived at the Russian camp. They shouted and rushed into the enemy's position. They held a carbine in one hand and a knife in the other. They used the gun to hit closer and used the knife to slash through the enemy's camp. They had just returned from their sleep. The Russian soldiers who woke up did not expect that the squadron would attack them. They rushed to fight and were stunned by the prepared soldiers. Before they could understand, the cavalry had already rushed back. Text Chapter 295 Target Russian Army Headquarters (2) Text Chapter 295 Target Russian Army Headquarters (2) Chapter 295 Target Russian Army Headquarters Chapter 295 Target Russian Army Headquarters When the sleeping Russian troops heard the news that the squadron had started attacking, they did not take it to heart at first, but The sound of artillery in the distance and the sound of the mobilization of their own troops prevented them from having a good rest. However, because there was no order from above, they did not need to get up. Besides, the place where the battle took place was still far away from here. After the troops set off, they all Going to sleep. But before they could fall asleep, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves, more than two thousand horses running, and the sound of the railway hitting the ground. It was so exciting that it broke their sleep again. Some soldiers cursed: "Who is he? He is disturbing me so much that I can't even sleep." They thought they were their own troops. However, just as they were saying a few words of grumble, they heard shouts and killing sounds coming from all over the camp. The Russian soldiers immediately panicked and some soldiers thought about how they should escape. The soldiers got up in a hurry and didn't even have time to put on their clothes. As soon as they ran out of the tent, they met the cavalry soldiers who rushed in. The soldiers held their sabers high and shouted "Charge, kill," and the swords flashed. After passing a group of Russian soldiers, their heads left their bodies and rolled on the ground. Soon, the cavalry rushed directly from the Russian camp, but many places started to catch fire. The first attack can be said to be a bit blind and not focused. But the second big impact on the Russian army, they already knew the enemy's situation. The second charge was relatively slower, and their team They dispersed and Li Zhenhua and Guan Xiaofeng came into contact. The guard camp is directly the enemy's headquarters. They want to attack the enemy's commander-in-chief. If they can catch it, if they can't, they will die. The goal of the Bilig Guards is the enemy's fodder. The main force of the third regiment is to use fire to cover and support these two groups. All the officers and soldiers in the guard camp are selected from various units with rich combat experience and strong personal combat capabilities. They are all top ten soldiers, especially several of Li Zhenhua's personal guards, who are even more masters among masters. In the first impact, they had seen the enemy's headquarters but they did not attack them. But this time their target was there, but they also knew that the enemy there was also the toughest because the other party's security forces were definitely the best. of. The soldiers rushed towards the enemy's headquarters, but the enemy's heavy machine guns immediately rang out. The horses rushing in front fell down, but the soldiers on the horses immediately began to fight back. The bullets of those gods immediately made the Russian army The heavy machine gun became dumb. The other soldiers quickly changed the charging route into an "S" shape and advanced. At the same time, the soldiers on both sides expanded to both sides and then outflanked the center. The other soldiers had already thrown grenades at the enemy. With the explosion of the grenades, the enemy The heavy machine gun was mute, but more enemies ran towards their command. There were already more and more enemies. When Li Zhenhua saw the Russian army's defensive firepower, he decided to abandon the enemy's headquarters and lure the enemy out so that his powerful firepower could destroy them. So he gave an order to "withdraw" and two red S flares flew into the sky. This was an order. The attacking cavalry rushed out of the enemy's crowd to signal the evacuation of the troops, but the soldiers did not forget to throw hundreds of grenades into the enemy's well-protected tent of the enemy headquarters. A cavalry company commander found an enemy officer shouting loudly. He bent down, picked up the officer, put him on his horse and drove away. The enemy became angry and the Russian cavalry troops also chased out. The cavalry team of the Bilig Guards rushed towards the enemy's hayfield. Their number was smaller, only more than 200 people. They quickly rushed there. They threw the grenades in their hands there and it immediately caught fire. They again After adding some ignition, it rushed out. The last three regiments saw that the two groups had gone out. Guan Xiaofeng was relieved. His eyes had long been fixed on the enemy's artillery camp. He shouted to a battalion commander: "Follow me" and pointed forward with his hand. The battalion commander also immediately shouted: "Come with me." He turned his horse's head and rushed to one side. There was an enemy artillery camp there. The enemy's defense was not very tight. Their cavalry rushed over, guns in their hands for a while, and then again. It was a grenade, but they rushed out regardless of the outcome. Then they heard the huge explosions of those Russian artillery shells. All the cavalry rushed out. They concentrated on one place. They were attacking the enemy. When they saw the Chinese hugging grass and hunting rabbits, they also caught one of their officers. Their troops all rushed out. Of course, they rushed to the front. Those cavalrymen saw that the cavalrymen in the squadron were all running towards one place, and they also chased them there. ? ?The remaining machine gun fire fighters were very depressed when they saw that they had nothing to do with attacking the enemy camp. Now that they saw the enemy coming out, they were already ready for battle. More than a dozen heavy machine guns were already found. His shooting position and the flashing lights clearly told his comrades his position. The cavalry would rush towards them but they would not let him misunderstand. And behind those heavy machine guns are those mortars. Two soldiers knelt down with one leg to guard an Mn mortar. One person was responsible for aiming at the one who had already held the shell with both hands and placed it on the muzzle. When he saw the enemy approaching, he The troops had finally gotten out of the way of the shooting, and they immediately started shooting. More than a dozen fire dragons were whipping at the enemies like whips. The enemies who were chasing them fell off their horses one after another, and their horses fell to the ground. The mortars behind also began to fire. Shells fell in the crowd. Several enemies fell down. The cavalrymen who rushed to a safe place turned back and joined in the attack on the enemy. The enemy's pursuit was quickly blocked by a thousand. The enemy's cavalry was in large numbers and was dealt with. The artillery soldiers were so addicted to fighting that they had been sending off the enemy. When they saw the enemies putting out the fire again, they immediately fired there again. The Russian soldiers who were putting out the fire immediately dispersed. Guan Xiaofeng said to them: "Fire at the enemy's headquarters. There are too many enemies there." After adjusting the muzzle, another batch of small shells flew towards the place where the enemy was densest, and more enemies fell. It was because of this setback that the Russian army lost more than 3,000 people in the camp. Li Zhenhua looked into the distance again and saw that the fighting on both sides was very fierce. The cannons on the city wall were also cooperating and firing at the Russian army. It turned out that they saw themselves and the Russian army fighting on the city wall, so they also fired at the Russian army. The enemy opened fire. They stood high on the city wall and looked far away. When they saw that there were many enemies there, they opened fire there. They had been bored for such a long time. This time, they had to hit them hard. It was easy to aim on top of the city wall. Then hit them hard. Text Chapter 296 Recovering Ili Text Chapter 296 Recovering Ili Chapter 296 Recovering Ili Chapter 296 Recovering Ili Under the fierce firepower of the squadron, the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, but they also fought against the squadron under the command of some officers, so that they could compete with the new army. There was a stalemate. When Li Zhenhua saw that it was almost over, he ordered them to stop fighting and retreat. Three more red S flares were fired into the sky, and the gunfire from the other two locations suddenly became fierce. The Russian troops in both locations were repulsed and all the troops retreated safely. After Li Zhenhua came back, he first interrogated the prisoners and learned about the enemy's situation. He knew that the enemy was very anxious now. They were eager to capture the new city and then march inland to achieve greater results. In the future, when the weather gradually cools down, their future logistics supply will be difficult, so they are determined to quickly capture this new city and then quickly enter Dihua to obtain replenishment of military supplies. But they didn¡¯t expect that the squadron¡¯s attack destroyed all their arrangements and that the night battle caused them great losses. Li Zhenhua ordered the troops to return for rest and recuperation. The troops who stayed behind were put on alert and the troops participating in the battle began to rest. After a night of fighting, the Russian army suffered heavy losses and the encirclement situation has been destroyed. Now it is impossible to surround the new city at all. The artillery position located in the southwest of the new city has no artillery, and all of them have been taken away by the squadron. The cannons placed at the back did not have much artillery. The squadron's raid cost them more than 20,000 people and a large amount of food, horse grass and other military supplies. d The commander of the Russian Expeditionary Force, Vladimir, ordered the troops to inventory the losses in the battle. After some understanding, he had to order the troops to retreat to a safe place. This battle left his troops with only more than 70,000 people. At the same time, due to the artillery, The losses made him never dare to fight head-on with the squadron again. In fact, he still doesn't know how many troops the Chinese have brought, but he knows that the Chinese weapons and equipment are stronger than his own army. Many. Vladimir's troops retreated more than 200 kilometers back. They came to the original Ili City. He now thought it was a safe place. After the troops entered the city, he began to arrange his troops for defense. He also arranged some troops outside the city. In Chinese terms, the military strength is called the Horn Formation. The enemy outside the city and outside the city can support each other. There are 30,000 people, mainly cavalry. But the Russian troops who stayed outside the city didn¡¯t think so. They thought that outside the city, they would be surrounded by squadrons. I don¡¯t know when it became ru in the mouth of the Chinese. Under coercion from above, they built some fortifications. The main purpose was to dig some trenches to defend against cavalry attacks. The siege of Yili New City was lifted. The defenders in the city came out to see Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua comforted them and then asked them in detail about the situation in Yili. He replenished them with some necessary supplies and allowed them to have a good rest before preparing for the next step. Capture Ili and expel all Lao Mozi from the country. Li Zhenhua saw that the weapons and equipment of the defenders were too poor and many soldiers were equipped with swords and spears, so he asked them to replace all the equipment of the Russian army and gave them all the cannons of the Russian army. But they These artillery units should operate together with the New Army units so that they can concentrate artillery fire on the enemy and attack others, allowing them to follow their own units and prepare to recover Ili together. The troops under his command are 80,000, and the Ili garrison is less than 30,000. This adds up to 100,000. However, those troops need to be well trained. But judging from their appearance, they should be fine. Do they dare to fight the Russian army? The fighting troops were not like those who ran away as soon as they saw Japanese troops. After Li Zhenhua's troops rested for a few days, his own infantry troops also came up. They pursued the Russian army again, but they did not adopt a complete encirclement method and only camped far away. However, his first task was to capture the Russian army. The logistics supply line had completely cut off the Russian army's material supply. Problems soon arose, and the armies of both sides were in a stalemate here. Li Zhenhua led his officers to look at the situation in Yili carefully and then returned to his tent. After understanding the enemy's situation, he could draw a conclusion. But in order to improve the tactical level of the officers, he still had to let them Put forward your own combat plan and then discuss together to choose the best combat plan. Especially the two division commanders of the Mng ancient tribe. They are the bravest warriors in terms of battle, but it turns out that they look down on strategy. They talk about direct dialogue between swords and guns and guns. But modern war requires more than pure bravery. What is emphasized is the organic coordination of strategy, technology, and tactics. After seeing the enemy's defense situation, everyone began to discuss. Li Zhenhua first asked Battelle to speak. Battelle thought about it and said, "I think it is better to attack the enemy outside the city first. That way, without the support outside the city, we don't have to consider the outside when attacking the city." The enemy." LiZhenhua's eyes looked at Bilige again. Bilige mng means a wise man in the ancient saying, and he is indeed not a reckless person. He said: "I think Battle's statement is correct, but you must also fight against enemies outside the city. Take care of the enemies in the city." Nie Qing said: "In my opinion, the enemies in the city and outside the city should be considered one. If we attack the enemies outside the city, the enemies in the city will not be ignored. I think we should attack the city. The enemy is relatively good. The enemy is in the northeast corner outside the city, but the distance is only more than a thousand meters. Once our troops reach the center, they will be attacked by enemies from both sides. Then our casualties will be great. We must choose a place outside the city where the enemy cannot care. On the other hand, if we attack the enemies in the city, the enemies outside the city will also be mobilized. We will focus on the city and use firepower to suppress the enemies outside the city. The effect will be very good." Feng Guozhang, as the chief of staff, said: " What the three of them just said makes sense. Let me add a few words here. We will place the main attack point in the southwest of the city so that it will not be affected by the enemies outside the city. A dozen enemies outside the city will be attacked under the orders of the enemy commander. Next time they will definitely be dispatched to support the enemies in the city. We will arrange a suitable place for them to attack them with artillery fire. After destroying the enemies outside the city, it will be easy to leave the rest of the city." Fighting the enemy in motion is for future generations. Li Zhenhua, one of the typical tactics, feels lucky that his subordinates have such tactical awareness. These people are all talented people, especially Feng Guozhang. Otherwise, would he be the president of the Republic of China? If the enemy hides in their camp, the power of our artillery strikes will be greatly reduced. If they reach flat ground, the effect will be much better. If this method is good, it can basically be settled. Text Chapter 297 Found Karamay Text Chapter 297 Found Karamay Chapter 297 Found Karamay Chapter 297 Found Karamay First of all, I would like to thank the "well digger" for his two monthly tickets. Thank you very much and ask other readers and friends to give more support. Li Zhenhua decided to use Xiao Guoqiang's infantry division as the main attacking force. Of course, this was just a feint attack, but the enemies outside the city must make the enemies in the city feel that this is a real attack. Then they have to hit the enemy hard and hurt them, and then they will strictly order the enemies outside the city to support the city. As soon as they come out, use the quick reaction of the cavalry to deal with them. At the same time, they will take down the enemy's camp and then surround them from three sides and eat them. Vladimir, who retreated to Ili, saw that there was a problem with his material supply. He immediately began to panic. If the Chinese had surrounded this place for several months, wouldn't all his troops have starved to death? He sent out A group of messengers asked them to issue orders to ask people in nearby Kazakhs to prepare supplies for him. He was going to fight against the squadron here. It turned out that he was on the flat ground and his squadron could attack them at will. Now that he retreated into the city, he felt that he was much safer. He wanted to use this strong city wall to defend against the Chinese attack. Moreover, he also had a traditional Chinese "horns" Now he is not afraid of them, but he still has to prepare some food, arms, and fodder. He is afraid that the Kazakhs will not be safe. He also wrote a letter to the Tsar requesting him to send further troops and materials to support him quickly. Chapter d) After doing all this, Vladimir happily picked up the wine glass and asked the sh girl on the side to pour the wine for her. He wanted to take a good rest. Now he doesn't have to worry about the Chinese attack. Two teams sent from China's oil city Dongying are marching on the road to the northwest. The destination of one of their teams is that the other team's destination is Karamay. They have stopped, but the Karamay team is still moving forward. For those workers who have just moved from the farmland to the oil industry, their current enthusiasm for work is very high. In the past, they could only live hungry and full. But when they arrived in the oil city, their lives changed dramatically. With the guarantee of being able to eat well and wear warm clothes every day, I can often eat ru and send some money back to my hometown every month. They can now say that they have arrived in heaven. A large number of farmers are coming to Dongying with their families. Now there are 50, 60,000 people in that small place. Once they arrive here, each family has its own house, and both men and women are given it. I have to pay the settlement fee and my children have to go to school because it is impossible to work here without education. People of my generation have to go to night school every day. Those children have to go to school. Besides, life here is no problem for a person. The salary can support a large family, and not many families can afford the cost of children. Now the authorities are mobilizing people to work in the west. People immediately signed up actively. They can't just eat here and have to contribute. It turns out that the jobs they arrange for themselves are just to support themselves. I heard With new jobs available, they actively requested to go to the Northwest. Now the managers of the oil fields are worried about these people who actively ask to go. The first batch to set off are those technical personnel and those working in geological exploration, drilling, oil production, and oil refining. They didn't expect that there would be such a large number of people in their country. They took trains and cars on the road for nearly a month before they got there. Karamay is known as the "Black Oil Mountain" in local terms because the underground crude oil overflowed from the surface due to the fracture of the geological layer and the high pressure underground caused the crude oil to overflow on the surface. The light part of the crude oil naturally volatilized and the remaining part combined with the soil and stayed on the surface for a long time. It became a small hill that looked dark from a distance. But at this time, there was no such name as "Karamay Oil Field". It turned out that before the liberation of the country, an old Uyghur man from Crimea discovered the crude oil here in the Gobi Desert. He discovered that the black oil could be used for To provide lighting and fire, he began to use a small donkey to often carry crude oil to other places to exchange for the daily necessities he needed. After a long time, people discovered this place. People today don¡¯t know this because Li Zhenhua came from time-to-time. He knew that this would be the fourth largest oil field in China, and that¡¯s why people came here to develop it. But he didn't know that the crude oil here was flowing out by himself, and he didn't know the specific location here. The specific location is unclear. Li Zhenhua only knows that it is about 300 kilometers northwest from Urumqi and more than 150 kilometers north-east from Dushanzi. It should be in the northwest edge of the Junggar Basin. He just roughly drew a range and asked those The oil people went to find it. The person who led the team here was a young man named Gao Tianming. He used to mainly assist Lin Zhiming in his work, that is, as an assistant to the mayor. Now he is here due to work needs.When he arrived here, he worked very seriously. After arriving in Dihua, he first tried to get to know the relevant local personnel, but there was no gain. Since you don¡¯t know, then go down to look for him and go down with your own people. Since there are some Gobi deserts there, even cars are difficult to get around. Most of the people use camels to open a huge human net and move towards the northwest. After marching in the Gobi Desert for more than ten days, they arrived at the edge of the Junggar Basin. There were some herdsmen grazing. They talked to the locals many times and asked, and finally some people told them that there were animals not far ahead. A Karamay (black oil mountain). So they asked the herdsmen to show them the way there. As the herdsmen pointed, Gao Tianming used his telescope to see the black hill from a distance. It was more than ten meters high and the square garden reached several hundred square meters. They hurriedly rode their camels and rushed there. When they got there, Gao Tianming and himself Those people were all shocked. It turned out that it was what was left after the crude oil spilled out of the ground. They thanked the herders and started working immediately. A report was also sent to Li Zhenhua, saying that they had discovered oil that could flow out on its own. This place is called Karamay (Black Oil Mountain). According to preliminary estimates, the oil field reserves here should be very large. The people who are coming now are the technical personnel. Among them are the geological exploration and drilling teams. People are also the same. The exploration work here is called Karamay. A few days later, the drilling team also started working. The underground oil layer here is very shallow and only drilled. The crude oil that was tens of meters underground spurted out. In addition, they dug several wells in the ground and the crude oil emerged on its own. Then they started the construction of the oil field. Now they are going all out to build the refinery first, and they will soon be able to send refined oil to the Ili front line. This is very beneficial to solving the transportation problem. Text Chapter 298 Capture of Ili Text Chapter 298 Capture of Ili Chapter 298 Capture of Ili Chapter 298 Capture of Ili The petroleum industry army then arrived in Dongying one after another and recruited more than 10,000 workers. Since there were few transportation tools, many people had to transport a lot of equipment and got off the train from Lanzhou. From now on, they did not wait, but directly started walking along the Hexi Corridor toward Xinjiang. If there is a bus on the way, just follow it. If there is not, then go. Anyway, there is a constant flow of people, including those transporting military supplies, petroleum supplies, and railways. and highway people. Wang Shizhen has done a very good job. He has built a military depot every few miles here. It was originally purely for military use, but later it became an industrial one. But people still call this place a military depot. When you get here, someone will prepare delicious food. You just need to tell which unit you are from. The setting of the military station is also very scientific. If you walk, it will take one day. If you ride horseback, you can run two. If the station is a car, you can go to three or four stations every day. Now the road from Lanzhou to Dihua is probably the busiest road in the whole of China. Many people are optimistic about this business opportunity and have started small businesses on both sides of the road. Not to mention that this business is still good, and there are not that many now. There are so many unscrupulous businessmen, so many management departments, and so many expenses derived from them. People have less money. Accordingly, the prices are quite cheap. The enemy's logistics supply line has been cut off on the Yili front line. Li Zhenhua is not in a hurry. After more than ten days of preparation, the troops are ready. However, the Russian army encountered difficulties in obtaining food. The Russian army outside the city could not get food from the city at all. They had only prepared food for more than ten days, but the squadron besieged this place for more than ten days. They began to worry. However, the troops guarding them would not allow them to easily obtain supplies and would attack them from a distance so that they could not leave the camp at all. The morale of the Russian army outside the city had dropped to the lowest point. The Russian cavalry They began to compete with their horses for horse materials. How could they be said to be just animals? The battle on the Ili front line started again. Xiao Guoqiang's infantry division launched an attack on the southwest corner of Ili City under the cover of artillery fire. The artillery was all the division's 85 light artillery. However, due to the close distance, they fired very accurately at the defenders on the city wall. The army used a huge blow to the city wall and a hole dozens of meters long was blown out by the artillery shell. Now the infantry can easily rush into the city from here. But those squadrons were just shouting outside the city but did not launch a large-scale charge into the city. Only the sharpshooters were shooting at the Russian soldiers on the city wall from a distance, as long as Russian soldiers appeared. The sound of a gunshot would make him fall. This made Vladimir in the city immediately panic. He hurriedly mobilized troops to strengthen the guards in the southwest. At the same time, he strictly ordered the cavalry troops outside the city to quickly provide support to the southwest corner where the fighting was fiercest. The Russian cavalry outside the city could not see the squadron's attack, but they could hear it occasionally. This made the enemies outside the city very scared, but Vladimir's order had to be carried out. They had no choice but to rush out of their camp and starve. Start attacking the squadron's flank and rear. The officers and soldiers waiting outside were happy when they saw the enemy coming out. The cavalry of the Russian army made rapid progress. They soon arrived at the southeast corner of Ili City. There were some soldiers in the squadron guarding it, but there was no one near the city wall. The cavalry who were defending the reinforcements saw that there was no one guarding the city edge and began to advance there. It was impossible for the squadron to make such a low-level mistake. They saw their cavalry rushing over and ignored them at all. But when they got here, a problem arose. Under the trampling of horse hooves, the Russian cavalry at the front fell into the pit. The cavalrymen who went behind couldn't hold back for a while and fell in some. It turned out that there was a trench blocking them near the city wall. When the soldiers were doing this work, they were ordered to retain the upper soil layer. They only carried out soil work from below and retained the upper layer. This could not only protect themselves but also deceive the Russian army. So everyone Using this method, dozens of Russian cavalrymen were trapped in the pit, including men and horses. The cavalrymen behind them had to go around in the distance. This was a method Feng Guozhang came up with just to avoid the enemy's rifle fire on the city wall. The soldiers waiting for them immediately aimed their weapons at them. The commander gave an order and ordered heavy machine guns, mortars, and rifles to attack the enemy together. The enemy's charge was blocked. All the enemies gathered together. At this time, they heard the sound of the air being torn apart. Countless artillery shells fell from the sky and landed on the cavalry team. The violent explosions and the enemy's screams combined together. Enemy bodies and horses and their parts were flying skyward. At this time, there was another buzzing sound of engines in the sky. It turned out to be several airships flying into the air. They were using heavy machine guns to blast the enemy and suppressed the Russian army on the city wall to cover their own troops and fight with the Russian army.After they reached the enemy's sky, they immediately began to throw bombs at the city wall. Their target was very accurate, and they threw bombs specifically where there were many people. The 150th Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Artillery Brigade has not really fought a war since they entered Xinjiang. This time they have a chance to show themselves. The soldiers desperately loaded the cannons with shells, and the shells flew out of the cannons one after another. The Russian cavalry flew towards the enemy's heads. They felt like the end of the world was coming. They were running around, but there were screams of artillery shells everywhere, and artillery shells fell wherever they went. Some Russian cavalry turned their horses and were about to run back, but behind them were troops wearing yellow S clothes blocking their way. The same heavy machine guns and mortars were all pointing at them. On the other side, the cavalrymen of the ancient Mng tribe are slowly surrounding us with the terrifying sabers in their hands. There are enemies on three sides, not four, and a big guy who has never been seen before is also watching eagerly. In these few battles, they knew that the troops surrounding them were not the original Qing army. The weapons in their hands were deadly. Most of the Russian soldiers put down their weapons amidst the shouts of the enemy. One of the Russian soldiers When the major general saw that the situation was over, he ordered his soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese. Text Chapter 299 Prisoners of War Become Workers Text Chapter 299 Prisoners of War Become Workers Chapter 299 Prisoners of War Become Workers Chapter 299 Prisoners of War Become Workers The troops surrounded on three sides took these Russian troops like herding sheep and sent them back to their camp. This place will be a prisoner of war camp from now on. The rest of the guarding force began their attack on the city. Li Zhenhua, who was standing in command from a distance, saw that the enemy had been dealt with. He immediately ordered the artillery fire to extend the sh-attack. The coordinated operation of the infantry and artillery was reflected here. The artillery began to extend the sh-fire and directly began to hit the targets on the city wall. The infantry Their charge also began. The Russian soldiers on the city wall were very unlucky. The targets of the extended cannons were now the defenders on the enemy wall. Due to Vladimir's order, there were more defenders on the city wall. They had to use their rifles and machine guns. They came to support the Russian troops outside the city because of the surrender of the Russian troops outside the city. Their military morale was also weakened. At this time, the artillery brigade's artillery was just dealing with them. Once one shot was fired, a group of people flew up. Two artillery shells were fired, and a gap appeared in the city wall. This Chinese artillery is the same artillery that has harmed the Russian army. Now there are not many shells, but there are many solid shells. But their cannons are different. Once the cannon hits, no one is standing within thirty meters. Soon there were no more Russian troops on the city walls. Seeing the situation at the city wall, Li Zhenhua temporarily changed the battle plan. He called Xiao Guoqiang of the Infantry Division to inquire about the battle and ordered him to start charging into the city. He ordered his reserve soldiers to use artillery to attack in the southeast of the city. The broken city wall launched an attack on the city, and the cavalry detached a part of their troops to guard the surrounding walls to prevent the Russian army from escaping from there. Chapter d) The battle outside the city has ended. Except for those who were killed by artillery shells and shot by guns, the rest were hacked to death by cavalry. Most of the remaining enemies surrendered. The infantry soldiers came over without any trouble. After boarding the city wall, it turned out that the enemy had been knocked unconscious by artillery fire. They hurriedly ran down the city wall. After the soldiers climbed onto the city wall, they immediately set up machine guns to shoot at the enemies in the city. The airships in the sky also flew to Ili City. Attack the enemy from the air. After the infantry soldiers rushed to the city, they opened the city mn. The rest of the infantry and cavalry rushed in from the city mn. They dismounted and engaged in street fighting with the enemy. For many years, Li Zhenhua attached great importance to soldiers' tactics and shooting training. Of course, in street fighting They had a great advantage. They were divided into squads or platoons and quickly dispersed into many small combat units. They launched an attack on the enemy. When the enemy was in the distance, they used rifles to kill them. When they got close, they used grenades to throw them at a wall. The enemies behind the wall were eliminated and continued to advance covertly. The Russian army simply cannot form an effective counterattack. They were unable to hold their ground and the soldiers who entered the city advanced quickly. The best fighters in the city are the special forces of the Desert Regiment wearing yellow clothes. These people's tactical level is very high. They use their already prepared flying grabs to grab the place on the city wall and then move along. Climbing up from the city wall with a rope, then opening the city mn, and started a street fight with the Russian army. He shot and killed a few who still wanted to resist. His shooting skills were so good that he shot the head with one shot, so that the other Russian soldiers immediately surrendered obediently. They quickly rushed to the Russian army's headquarters mn. There were no soldiers guarding the mn at all. They rushed in smoothly and there was a scene everywhere. Some Russian soldiers saw that the squadron had rushed in. They just wanted to run when the soldiers used their guns to shock them. After searching and finding no enemies, the commander found out through the interpreter's inquiry that the Russian commander had already run out of the city. They carefully searched the Russian army's headquarters and seized a large amount of Russian supplies. Vladimir, who was originally in charge of the city, first heard that his "hungry soldiers" outside had surrendered to the Chinese. Later, he heard that the squadron had broken through the city wall and entered the city. His soldiers were engaging in street fighting with the squadron. But it can be heard from the gunfire that the gunfire is getting closer. Those Chinese soldiers were advancing normally. The troops sent out could not stop the Chinese attack at all. No matter how much they sent, they suffered huge losses. When he saw that the situation was over, he had nothing to do. When the guards saw that, they hurriedly pulled him to escape. So he ordered the troops to abandon the city and retreat. His guards immediately prepared horses for him and let him escape on horseback. As soon as the officer ran away, the resisting soldiers completely lost the confidence to resist, and they immediately began to surrender to the squadron. Vladimir, who rushed out of the city, was running forward desperately. He suddenly discovered that there were already Chinese troops guarding outside. When he saw it, he hurriedly ordered the troops to turn around and flee to the south. If he couldn't go back to Russia, he would go to Russia first. Almaty, let¡¯s run. So the remaining defeated Russian soldiers fled towards Almaty. Vladimir abandoned his soldiers and fled on his own. In the street fighting, the Russian soldiers were not as flexible as the Chinese soldiers. The Chinese weapons were also easy to use, coupled with the command from the air, the last group of Russian soldiersThe city was surrounded, and the soldiers used mind-attack tactics to shout to them: "Your commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force has escaped. Putting down your weapons can ensure your lives." They didn't believe it at first, but they heard that there was nothing around them. When the gunfire started, they raised their hands. A total of more than 50,000 prisoners were captured in the city and outside the city. They were used to build the city wall. The original city wall was built with earth and mud and stone strips. Now it is built with stone strips brought from the mainland. The cement used for bonding is much stronger than before. Wang Shizhen built this place and established it as a military station. The captured Russian soldiers were the best labor force. They were tall and strong, and if anyone didn't want to work, they wouldn't want to eat. If they worked hard, they could eat. At the same time, they would eat. It's not the potatoes they often eat, but the flatbread steamed buns and fresh vegetables that Chinese people eat, sometimes with some meat in them. At the same time, construction of the main road heading inland also started. The weather gradually cooled down and the cold air came frequently. Li Zhenhua knew that the winter here was very cold. He specifically asked all the troops to solve the problem of cotton-padded clothes for the troops for the winter in advance. Wang Shizhen said to him that I had already done this. It's all ready. The winter clothes of the army have been shipped and put in the warehouse. Li Zhenhua went to take a look in person. He was very satisfied. At the same time, he also saw the gasoline and diesel that had just been shipped. Feng Guozhang and the others were responsible for the work in Almaty. It's okay for him to be responsible for these battles. Text Chapter 300 The Great Migration from the Northwest Text Chapter 300 The Great Immigration to the Northwest Chapter 300 The Great Immigration to the Northwest Chapter 300 The Great Immigration to the Northwest Here Li Zhenhua and several of his subordinates expressed his true thoughts, which was to give the Kazakh people the feeling that the Russians were invaders. But our best is to come back to China. It is mainly a deterrent to the enemy so that they can truly obey China's rule and no longer half-heartedly. There are many methods that can be used, but the specific how to do it still needs to be specific. It is very scientific to treat things concretely. Now Li Zhenhua used the first move. He classified the Russian prisoners. He put all the old, weak, sick, disabled and injured back. There was no need to continue to raise them. Let them go to Almaty. If they were there, tell them. It propagated that our army was powerful and invincible, which greatly reduced the morale of the Russian army. After making a plan, the prisoners of war were released with good food and drink. Select some prisoners who are willing to go to the mainland of China and let them go to the Karamay oil field or to the railway construction site. Give them the status of formal workers and pay them a monthly salary of one silver dollar to ensure that they can have good food and clothing there. If you have family members, you can take a vacation after two years, and you can also bring your family members over. If you are willing to pick up your family members, you can also receive travel subsidies for oil fields and railways when they come back to China. But at the beginning, those Russian soldiers were reluctant to go. After all, they turned out to be the opposite of fighting desperately on the battlefield. Now that the other side has given such good conditions, it is unacceptable, and most of them have adopted a wait-and-see attitude. d text, but some people who had nothing at home felt that it was better to go there just for food and as long as they were hungry, so they set off with nearly two thousand people following the transport convoy. . Cars and camel teams took the prisoners to Karamay, but now they can no longer be called prisoners. They are now workers. After arriving in Karamay, they immediately issued a new set of underwear, cotton-padded clothes and overalls to both inside and outside. Although the house they lived in was not very good, it was much better than the tents, and the food they ate was different from before. After all, they were workers. When they go out to work, they don¡¯t have to hold a gun at them. Instead, they go to work behind a few old masters. Although they don¡¯t understand the language, you can tell from the friendly faces and eyes of the other people that they are really good to you. If they perform well in their work, the Chinese workers will give them a thumbs up and say: "Hera Shao Hera Shao" and everyone will laugh together. Soon they started their work with peace of mind. In Li Zhenhua's letter to Gao Tianming, Li Zhenhua said in detail: "Don't be afraid of those Russian prisoners of war escaping. Three hundred kilometers to the west to Tacheng is an uninhabited place. To the north is an inaccessible and high snow-capped mountain. Thanks to our good policies towards them, their life here is much better than in Russia. They will not run away. They will be a new force in our construction next time.¡± There will be some when sending gasoline to Ili next time. The new Russian workers also followed. After arriving in Ili, they were allowed to visit one of their former captives, a Russian soldier named Andrei Ivanovich Andrei. After Andre arrived in Ili, he went to the former prisoner of war camp. He wanted to visit his original companions. Today, he has become an oil worker in China. Not to mention anything else, Andre's whole body is brand new inside and out. The clothes and the fact that their faces were shiny from eating well made people extremely envious of them, but those prisoners of war were all wearing the original shabby military uniforms. When he saw his old friends, Andre asked the prisoner of war camp management for leave and let them go out to have a drink and chat with their parents. Those managers knew that this was their prisoner policy and immediately allowed them to go out. This made those prisoners of war who did not go to Karamay regret it. After a few people came to the street, Andre found that great changes had taken place here. The traces of the war had almost been cleaned up. It was not like before. Most of the houses were damaged by soldiers on the street. Now there are only some small groups of soldiers. Most of the houses patrolled have also been repaired, and many shops serving the military and the people have appeared. This was impossible in the past because the soldiers never paid for drinks and meals. All the small shops have been closed long ago. mn. However, Yili under the control of the squadron has shops, taverns, and some small shops selling petty items that serve civilians and military personnel. Military personnel have to pay money to buy things, and some military personnel are helping local people. They were doing some chores. Soldiers were helping the common people. This was something that Russian soldiers had never seen before. In a small hotel, Andre spent his own money to treat his former comrades to drink. This made those former comrades very envious of several friends.After drinking a few glasses of wine with our friends, the prisoners of war had already figured out the situation of Andre, who was also a prisoner of war. They knew that now he was talking to them as a free man instead of himself. As a prisoner of war, in addition to food and clothing, he will get his share of salary every month. After two years, he will have his own vacation. He can also pick up his family members and their company will also pay for their travel expenses. If you don't have any family members to bear part of the burden, you can find a Chinese girl here as your wife, which was something you never dared to think about. When they heard Andre's introduction, the prisoners of war opened their mouths in surprise. There was such a good thing, but what they saw didn't seem like they were cheating. Their minds also started to work. They deeply regretted that they were not like him. Go to Karamay earlier or you can be like him. So they immediately returned to the prisoner-of-war camp and immediately applied to the managers to go to Karamay to become Chinese oil workers. They would also contribute to China's oil industry. After hearing the news, Li Zhenhua smiled and said to Feng Guozhang: "Give Andrei the bonus and let him play in Ili for a few more days. Mobilize some people to go to Karamay and ask them to attract more people to our oil industry and railway construction." "This is a good idea. Commander-in-Chief, I heard that there is a severe drought in Shaanxi this year. Can we recruit more workers from there?" Feng Guozhang asked. "Of course, we have to send people there. First, we need to recruit more workers. At the same time, the folk customs there are strong. We can also recruit more soldiers from there, in the name of the corporate security team. Let them bring their families. After solving the problem of sparse population in the border areas, we need to recruit more workers from the mainland. We have a large area in the west. If there are fewer people, it will be very disadvantageous for us. " Text Chapter 301 Take the West Exit Text Chapter 301 Go to the West Exit Chapter 301 Go to the West Exit Chapter 301 Go to the West Exit Feng Guozhang said immediately: "The Commander-in-Chief is right. I will immediately arrange manpower to let them pass. So should they come this year or next year?" "What? The time is right. If we come this year, we will have more difficulties. But the lives of the people there will be very difficult after the disaster. If they come this year, we can bear more for them. dThe governors and governors are very happy." "With fewer refugees, their burden will be lighter. Their taxes are calculated based on land anyway. But if there is a good harvest in the future, there will not be enough manpower." "Ignore those for now, first solve the current problems and let the victims We need to have food to eat. If they are willing to go back in the future, we will not stop them." What Li Zhenhua said is a little unreasonable. The life here is so good. Those who have gone will come back. That's something you shouldn't even think about. A telegram was sent to Xi'an, Shaanxi, and went directly to the head of Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. He was very happy when he saw this. This concubine just wanted to know that we have been hit by a disaster. There is no way to resettle these victims here. He came to help me and thought of ways to help us solve the problem of feeding the victims. He immediately had the idea in his mind that if anything happened to this prince-in-law in the future, I would definitely help him. d Zeng Guoquan immediately asked all the provinces, prefectures, roads, prefectures, and counties in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces to immediately issue notices: All people in the disaster-stricken areas can go to Xinjiang, and there are already jobs suitable for them there. There is food and housing, and he also said in the announcement: All disaster victims can go now and come back later. The local Xinghua Group staff also took active action and wrote letters of introduction to help the victims embark on their long journeys. They also distributed some silver dollars to each of their households for them to use on the road and told them that every eighty seconds on the way. There will be a military station on the left and right side of the field, which is dedicated to helping them. As long as they take out the letter in their hands, they can even save money on meals. As soon as the victims heard that there was such a good thing in the world, they immediately gathered their families and set off. The road immediately became busy again. Some were pushing wheelbarrows, sitting on them were old people, children, or women and men pushing them behind. There are also cars and a family carrying a load. In front are children, behind are some things they are reluctant to leave behind. There is a huge flow of people on the whole road heading towards the west. In the past, the common people spontaneously "walked to the west exit", but now there is an organized support. Frontier feat. Sure enough, there is a military station every eighty miles or so on the road to receive them. Why do you say "left and right"? Of course it is because of the water source problem. Anyway, there is a place with water. If there is no water, this will not work. This allowed the victims to reach Xinjiang smoothly. Not many people died of starvation. Along the way, they met some kind-hearted employees of Xinghua Group Company who would give them a ride as long as there was room in their cars. . For this reason, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Zeng Guoquan, sent a note to the court to thank the auxiliary Duke Li Zhenhua for his righteous deeds to Shaanxi and Gansu. The court also issued a report asking the victims from various places to go to Xinjiang to make a living on their own. So the migration process started from Shaanxi to Gansu and then to Xinjiang. Hundreds of thousands of people took their families and marched on that long migration road. Fortunately, it was the arrangements of the Xinghua Group, but for them. With the silver coins given in advance and those at the military station, there are probably many victims who will lose their lives on the road. There are many cars and carriages on the road transporting supplies to the west. As long as the people who can pull the goods say hello, the young men who drive will take the initiative to take them. Yi Cheng finally completed the first phase of immigration work before winter came. After arriving in that completely unfamiliar place, people were blinded. Although it was very difficult, the people there were very enthusiastic. As soon as they arrived in Dihua, people started to recruit workers. There were jobs on the railway and in the oil fields. There were many jobs for the victims of the disaster in their own homes. It is no longer possible to live in my hometown, and I will probably die of cold and hunger. There is nothing left to pick and choose when I get here. They only need to take care of the food. They don¡¯t care whether the working conditions are good or bad, or whether they are good or bad. What's the reward? But when they saw that the people who were recruiting workers were not like this, they inquired about these people's situations in detail and then began to arrange their whereabouts: those who were single or not the only ones in the labor force and those who met the conditions of being a soldier were given priority to go to the army. The second choice was The younger families with smaller family members first choose to work on the railway, and then they are allowed to work in the oil fields of Karamay. This is the wish of the recruitment office, but before letting them go, they have to ask if they are willing to go. However, the result of the inquiry is that there is no disobedience. They are not like those recent graduates who are picky and picky like today's students. It's just a word of willingness and they don't say anything as long asJust take care of the food. So soon cars and camels took them away. Some families went to the railway construction site, some went to Karamay, and some went to Ili to work as "security guards." But here they went to Ili to work as security guards. But it must be voluntary and no one will force you to go. As long as new people come from various places and units, we will work together to help them settle down. First, we will use soil to solve the housing problem, which is Shandong's experience of "dry base building". Other grains, cooking utensils, quilts, etc. The oil fields and railways have already prepared it. There are also many things that you need to buy yourself. It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t have money, you can just deduct them from your salary slowly in the future. Zhang Youcai is a farmer from Lanzhou Prefecture, Gansu Province. He is rich, but he never knows what it means to be rich. Due to the disaster this year, there hasn't been much rain here for a year. It can be said that there is no harvest. When the family is worried about how to survive, the county government sent someone to inform them that there are people in the northwest. Recruiting workers takes care of food and housing, and you can also earn money. Zhang Youcai, who was desperate, looked at his family. There was an old woman in her sixties, and the two children below had a son who was already thirteen. It was the right time to "eat me to death." When he is full, he will eat more than adults. My daughter is just eight years old and both children are as thin as a monkey because they cannot eat. My mother-in-law and I have worked hard for a year and now we only have a few liters of grain and 30 to 50 kilograms of red envelopes. No matter what, we won't be able to make it through next day. Text Chapter 302 Zhang Youcai walked to the west exit Text Chapter 302 Zhang Youcai walked to the west exit Chapter 302 Zhang Youcai walked to the west exit Chapter 302 Zhang Youcai walked to the west exit After hearing the news, Zhang Youcai discussed it with a few people in the village and decided to go to the county to check and find out if this was the case. It is feasible to say that "taking the west exit" has been mentioned before. I heard that it is a large area and sparsely populated, and it is easy to find some food. When a few country people arrived in the county town, they saw the notice posted next to the city mn. It had the county government's big seal on it. There was a table next to it and said it was the man recruiting workers. After hearing it read by someone who could read it, he believed it in his heart. There has always been talk of recruiting workers, and they also said that you can go to a house to take care of food, clothing, and housing, and you can also earn money. This is what the government said and will not lie. Then Zhang Youcai and others made up their minds. When they went to the "West Exit", the people recruiting workers there wrote them a note and there was a stamp on it, but the stamp was much smaller. It¡¯s already late when I get home. I¡¯ve left dinner for myself a long time ago. I can¡¯t help but leave it behind. I have money and am the main labor force in the family. I must eat well. My mother-in-law loves me. How can I not love my son? But that¡¯s all. Two pieces of black steamed buns and a bowl of wild vegetable porridge. Zhang Youcai took out the note he got from the county seat today and told his mother and aunt about the situation of going to the county seat. Neither of them said anything. After a while, the mother wiped her dizzy eyes and said, "Just go by yourself and leave us alone." You and I will just stay at home with the kids. As they often say, it¡¯s easy to have trouble at home. Everything is difficult. You just go on your own, no matter whether you make money or not. Going out alone can save one person¡¯s food rations, right? "What the old lady said is reasonable. Zhang Youcai said: "Mom, I can't do it. I heard those people said that this is a good thing. If we go to this family, we can survive. If we don't go to this family, we will all starve to death. The area affected by the disaster this year is huge. It will be next year." I can¡¯t dig any wild vegetables anymore, so you guys are left at home My mother-in-law is a filial daughter-in-law. It¡¯s hard to say anything when her mother-in-law doesn¡¯t want to go, but she is also thirty years old. She knows that this year will be a disaster. It¡¯s not easy. Seeing that the two of them had different opinions, she said, "If Mom can't do it, let's listen to what other people say and then we can discuss it." I had no choice but to agree to them. Zhang Youcai went to other people's homes and it was the same with other people's homes. Among these common people, who had ever gone out to have a meal? When the year was bad, they went out to have a meal. Now when they heard that they had to "go to the west exit", people felt bad about it. Determination is about to come to an end. In fact, Zhang Youcai¡¯s mother-in-law, Wang Guihua, is a sensible person. When she saw her mother-in-law¡¯s objection, she didn¡¯t say anything at the time, but she had her own reasons. If the whole family stayed at home, the amount of food would be huge. If you can't even make it through the New Year, then people will definitely starve to death. It's better to go for a break and maybe survive for a few people. She supported her mother-in-law and children to sleep. She came out to find Zhang Youcai. Her old man was at a cousin's house. When she entered the mn, she saw everyone was stunned. She knew that this matter must not have passed. So she squeezed and sat next to her old man, wanting to hear everyone's opinions first. After waiting for a while, her cousin didn't say anything, but her cousin-in-law said: "Everything in the wealthy family usually comes from you, who gives everyone an idea today." Let me listen to you. What should you do about this matter?" Wang Guihua, who lives in a wealthy family, didn't hesitate and started talking: "My family's situation is similar to yours. If this goes on, I won't be able to get through it even if it's the end of the day. What's worse is that we will realize that mn is going to be hungry and it will be too late to regret it. We might as well go out now and try to find someone else to "take the west exit" without anyone to help us. Don't we still have some company that recruits workers? Can you help us? "Yes, others are just wandering there. We have something to think about, so this family has passed. At this time, several people who went to the county together also came and listened. People also figured it out and made up their minds to go together. The couple came back and saw that their mother-in-law was not asleep. This is not a trivial matter. They cannot make up their minds easily. The old lady could not sleep either. Wang Guihua then said to her mother-in-law what she had said to others. The old lady thought about it for a moment. Her daughter-in-law here is a filial child. She There are many times when the daughter-in-law has more opinions than the son. In the end, the old lady agreed. The next day, everyone in the small village was busy. These families will go together first. Everyone will also come to help and help clean up. The men are talking aside and waiting to settle down there. Send me a message. If it works, we will go to you again. We help take care of the home. They were poor people and had nothing to prepare. Zhang Youcai asked his mother and eight-year-old daughter to get on the wheelbarrow and took the few liters of grain with them. Two tattered quilts and some clothes were also put on the wheelbarrow. Wang Guihua put a package on her arm and carried her son's back. Zhang Youcai, the last little baggage, and the villagers waved their hands and pushed his mother, child, and family on the migration road, turning back and forth step by step. Two months later, Zhang Youcai¡¯s letter returned to a family in the village.I also saw a family photo of the family in the letter, their happy smiles and the clothes on their bodies. People's hearts were moved. Although the weather was already very cold, the people in the village still embarked on this road without hesitation. Take the "West Exit" road where they have their thoughts and hopes. Later, with the influx of a large number of people, a batch of military tents were transported to the oil fields. The leaders of the oil fields said that no matter how difficult it was, they must give the victims (probably new workers) a comfortable home. The people who came here were all victims of the disaster. They could no longer live in the original place. When they arrived here, they saw countless people working for them. They said it didn't matter as long as they had stutters. But those officials said that no matter what, it was okay. We need to make arrangements for everyone's housing issues. The railway has also made arrangements for people. In addition, there is plenty of land here. Those hard-working people can plant more by themselves next year and save some money. Things will gradually get better. However, these newly arrived worker families They did not forget to place a memorial tablet in the middle of the house, that is, the prince who saved his family. If it were not for his family, it would be difficult for his family to say that in any disaster year, countless people would not starve to death. How do you say it is called "hunger and death everywhere". "But these people have traveled more than three thousand miles and have not died of cold or hunger. How can we not say that they are good?" We need to be conscientious. If someone is so kind to us, we can't forget that we have to pay tribute to this good person at least on the first or fifteenth day of the new year.

His mother-in-law Wang Guihua was assigned to the kitchen of the oil production team. The old lady is naturally a person who can't sit still. Both her son and daughter are students, and Wang Guihua quickly became the kitchen monitor because of her certain organizational skills. Due to her hard work, at the end of the year, the two of them were on the podium together at the year-end commendation meeting and received a bonus of two hundred yuan. and a red certificate of award. They even made a joke about the bonus. The whole family said nothing. Instead, as soon as the family arrived at the management office of the oil field, Gao Tianming, a young man, knelt down and kowtowed. This scared Gao Tianming away. He thought he was out of luck. What happened? After Gao Tianming learned about their family's situation, he was very moved and said to them: "The bonuses are given to you because of your outstanding labor performance. Haven't we given them to many people this year? Just accept them. This is yours." You deserve to be an example for us workers and management cadres to learn from. "But the old lady said: "No, you are our savior. If it weren't for you, our family would definitely starve to death. Now you make it easier for us, but you. We still live in a leaky house and we haven't repaid your kindness yet. We can't accept this extra money. Sir, just use this money to build a new house. It's not enough for all of us. I can't let you live in a house like this anymore. "In the end, neither the family nor the oil field leaders could convince anyone. The old lady got angry and threw away the money and took her son-in-law home. It wasn't just them. I don¡¯t know how many people refused to receive the bonus because at first the bonus was 30,000 silver dollars, but in the end, more than 28,000 silver dollars were returned. Even Andre received a bonus of fifty yuan. He also ran to Gao Tianming. He saluted Gao Tianming with a Russian military salute and said: "Sir, thank you for making me a real person. You have already I can't ask for this bonus after being paid a salary. I'm a prisoner of war, and prisoners of war can't have such an honor." After saying that, he put down the silver dollar and left. When Gao Tianming saw it, he shouted: "Stop". When Andre heard this, he hurriedly stopped. Gao Tianming put the silver coins in his hand and said, "Hold it for me. This is an order. This bonus is recognition of your work." You are not a prisoner of war now, you are an employee of our company, and you should get everything you get." "No, sir, I am not a Chinese yet, I am still a Russian, and I am not qualified to invade your country. Those who get these bonuses." Gao Tianming cursed in his heart: "These old guys are so stubborn." So Gao Tianming said to him: "You can apply for our Chinese citizenship now. You can be granted Chinese citizenship." "Really?" "You won't lie to me, will you?" "Ula" Andre jumped up happily. He didn't care about anything, turned around and rushed outside, shouting: "I am Chinese, I am Chinese." He ran outside and knelt on the ground and started crying. Gao Tianming shook his head and laughed in the room. After Li Zhenhua heard about the situation in Karamay, he became very interested in it. He temporarily put aside his frontline work and went to Karamay to see his own large oil field in person. After a day's flight, the airship arrived at Karamay High. As soon as he saw Li Zhenhua coming in the morning, he threw himself into Li Zhenhua's arms like a child. He shed tears of joy for seeing the commander-in-chief. When Li Zhenhua saw Gao Tianming, he lost a lot of weight and looked like a different person. His nose also felt a little sore. He held the young man in his cup. After a while, they calmed down. Gao Tianming said: Li Zhenhua said: "Commander-in-Chief, I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the tasks you have given me." "You are just saying stupid things. You have done a very good job. You have provided refined oil to the front line in such a short time." It¡¯s also a high speed in the world. Okay, I¡¯m going to give you a new task. This one is mandatory and you must complete it.¡± ¡°You tell me, I promise to complete the task.¡± ¡°Have a good rest and work hard and give it to me within a month. Gain ten pounds of fat." The people around him were all happy when they heard this, but Gao Tianming blushed and didn't answer for a while. How could he take a break with so much work at the moment? Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Zhenhua deliberately said with a sullen face. If you can't complete this mission, then go back to Dongying and find someone else to come here. Upon hearing this, Gao Tianming immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief, III will definitely complete the mission for you." But don¡¯t let me go back.¡± ¡°Then just give me a rest and don¡¯t bargain.¡±price. "Yes," Gao Tianming replied, raising his voice. "Let's go to the Black Oil Mountain to have a look. It won't work if we don't take a look at it when we get here." "The group of people drove straight to the Black Oil Mountain and saw the dark hill in the distance. The workers were developing shallow oil. They drilled more than a dozen oil fields within a radius of one kilometer. The oil inside the well more than 20 meters deep came out by itself. Seeing the gurgling black crude oil continuously leaking out, the workers used shovels and pickaxes to dig a small ditch along the well mouth to let the crude oil flow along the small ditch. The crude oil was poured into the oil pit and then "scooped" into iron barrels with iron spoons. This almost primitive and backward oil extraction method was the main production method of shallow oil layers at that time. They were not afraid of being dirty and tired and concentrated their efforts on oil recovery. Each person can collect up to 400 to 500 kilograms of oil per day (This is how my country produced oil in the 1960s.) With the deepening of stratigraphic development, what should we do if the oil wells in the past no longer flow out gurglingly and cannot naturally overflow? Faced with the new situation, the young men from the oil layer team immediately thought of a way to solve the problem and independently developed the method of "hand winch to lift oil". This is the same windlass used by farmers in the north to water the fields, but it is just a little taller. We first used wood. A four- to five-meter-high tripod is supported on the ground at the wellhead, and a pulley is hung on it. An oil barrel is hung from the lower end of the wire rope. A closing device is installed at the bottom of the oil barrel and oil is extracted using a manual hand winch. . Barrels of crude oil are lifted from the well to the ground and flow into the earth oil pool along the dug ditch. When the oil pool is full, everyone scoops the oil into a 200-liter oil drum. When the oil drum is full, two The workers used a pole to lift or roll the oil into another large oil pool. Everyone nicknamed this method "two oxen lifting the pole". From then on, they would drag the winch to wherever the oil was "lifted". The production of more than 50 oil wells in shallow oil layers has increased to more than 20 tons per day. Li Zhenhua¡¯s work spirit moved the workers on the production line who work day and night. They are not afraid of getting dirty and tired. They work on the oil production line every day. From Han, Young girls and boys from Tibetan, Mnggu, Kazakh, Russian, Uighur, Manchu and other ethnic groups have no time to pay attention to food and clothing. They just focus on oil extraction. At the same time, their slogan is: "No lng waste." A drop of crude oil. ¡± Time has arrived in late autumn. As the autumn wind becomes cooler and the severe cold approaches, the oil production workers who are working hard to start a business face the first difficulty: how to make the oil field survive the winter production in the alpine area. The early builders of the oil field business faced the severe cold and did it themselves They laid adobe bricks and pulled red bricks at the same time, arranging their living quarters, and then actively tried to find ways to ensure that production would not stop. They used "home-made" insulation furnaces to overcome the severe cold and ensure the normal production of the oil wells. Li Zhenhua repeatedly praised this initiative. At this time, there were no roads at all in the Karamay Oilfield, and traffic was very inconvenient. The most frequently used means of transportation was camels, and there was a shortage of oil field supplies and daily necessities. It is under such extremely difficult conditions that the workers face raging winds up to level 12, endure the scorching Gobi desert in summer, endure the bites of swarms of mosquitoes and flies in winter, and struggle day and night in the oil fields through the severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius. The adobe bungalow serves as the office and the place where production is directed. Every autumn, the northwest wind from the old wind blows through the land of Karamay. The temperature in winter is often around minus 35 degrees Celsius, and the biting cold wind is almost freezing. It was unbearable. At that time, the wellheads, production trees, and pipelines of dozens of oil wells were all outside. In order to solve the big problem of overwintering in the oil field, the oil production workers spontaneously started to "try every means to insulate the oil wells to ensure that the oil wells can survive the winter." The insulation campaign has built insulation furnaces for wellheads, pipelines, metering stations, oil tanks, and flues. There are two main methods of insulation for the Karamay Oilfield in the early stages of development: the simplest one is the Dongying method. Workers come from deep in the Gobi. Cut reeds and tie them into reeds to wrap the oil trees tightly and then apply grass mud on the surface. Another method with good thermal insulation effect is to build a "high temperature and longevity furnace". The so-called "high temperature and longevity furnace" is the temperature of the furnace. The stove can be maintained at 100-150 degrees Celsius and can be used continuously for half a year and at least for more than three months without rework or repair. In order to ensure the lifespan and insulation effect of the earthen stove, the employees are enthusiastic about the "High Temperature Longevity Furnace Competition". The progress of all insulation work was accelerated. In the early stage, the wellhead of a well managed by Mn of the Oil Production Department was frozen. The chief engineer immediately made a suggestion: "The most reliable and effective solution is to build the insulation furnace first. " Gao Tianming gave an order and all the workers went to work. At that time, it was dark early in the Gobi and the temperature at night was as low as nearly minus 30 degrees Celsius. The mud was frozen into a hard block just after it was mixed, and there were no ready-made bricks at the well. However, the workers They didn't give up. They brought bricks from two hundred meters away and mixed the mud with them.In the middle of the fire ring thirty meters away from the construction site, in less than two hours, the chimney was built and the well was lit. Everyone sat by the fire and waited for an hour and a half when suddenly there was a splashing sound in the well. "The oil has thawed and the oil has flowed out." Everyone cheered. Gao Tianming, the chief engineer and all the workers had a comfortable smile on their faces. After repeated research and experiments, a complete and effective furnace repair method has been summarized in the construction of insulation furnaces, namely: low furnace, wide flue, high chimney, small turns, uniform sediment, smooth inner wall and slope. The insulation furnace built in accordance with this requirement not only has a high temperature but also has a long life. It must be said that farmers who have just left agricultural production have their own intelligence and wisdom. It is also very effective to apply some methods in rural areas to industrial production. The high-temperature and longevity furnace managed by the Heiyoushan oil production team is the most unique: it is built with red bricks according to the shape of the oil tree, so that the entire oil tree can be kept warm. This holding furnace not only has a high furnace temperature since the beginning of use, but also remains intact until now. Due to the meticulous work, more than 90% of the insulation furnaces built by the Heiyoushan oil production team have met the requirements for qualified combustion and normal combustion. Promptly completing various anti-freeze and heat preservation work in the oil field so that the oil well can produce normally in winter is the key to ensuring the successful completion of the annual crude oil production task. Therefore, the leaders of Karamay Oilfield headed by Gao Tianming listed this work as a key task. They mobilized more than 1,000 employees from various units in the mining area and the Oil Field Department to organize an oil field insulation battle using the method of "concentrating superior forces to fight a war of annihilation." The majority of employees in the Oil Production Department were very motivated and it took only more than a month. The task was completed ahead of schedule and with high quality. The people at the refinery were also mobilized to work hard for the production of refined oil on the front line. They transported the crude oil to the refinery. At first, they used the most primitive method to refine the oil. After the oil tank is sealed, a long pipe is connected to it for cooling, and then the fire is started. After heating, the steam that comes out for the first time is gasoline after cooling, and the steam that comes out after ten minutes is water. It will not flow out again. The biggest disadvantage of this primitive method is that after each tank of oil is refined, the large tank must be cleaned, which is troublesome. Without the appropriate tools, people can only go in and clean it up. From now on, the whole body will be covered in black, but none of the Japanese people are afraid of hardship. They use the simplest equipment to ensure the gasoline for the front line, and then install new equipment to produce it in the factory in Dongying. Karamay has ordered high-standard oil refining equipment from them. After long-distance transportation, the equipment was sent to Xinjiang and then installed. All the work was done by the Chinese themselves. All the technicians were trained in Dongying. The current Karamay Oilfield cannot be known to outsiders. It is only produced by the Chinese. There is no need for foreigners to mix it here. It will not be too late to announce it after we have completed the construction. Of course, there is also a connection with the Qing Dynasty. The problem is doing this now so as not to tell them.

Several adobe bungalows serve as offices and places to direct production. Every autumn, the northwest wind from Laofengkou will pass through the land of Karamay on time. The temperature in winter is often around minus 35 degrees Celsius, coupled with the biting cold wind, it is almost unbearable. At that time, the wellheads, Christmas trees, and pipelines of dozens of oil wells were all outside. In order to solve the big problem of overwintering in the oil fields, the oil production workers spontaneously launched a "local method" insulation battle to "try every means to insulate to ensure that the oil wells could survive the winter."

Text Chapter 305 About Kazakhstan Text Chapter 305 About the Kazakh Region Chapter 305 About the Kazakh Region Chapter 305 About the Kazakh Region In the evening, Li Zhenhua and Gao Tianming had a conversation and made some arrangements for the work in the oil field here. All the work here was left to this young man At first, the young man Gao Tianming was a little afraid that he was not qualified for the work here. Li Zhenhua encouraged him and said: "You have done well during this period, just keep going like this. Rely on our technical strength and those who work wholeheartedly to do a good job here." The workers will definitely do a good job, but you must take good care of your health. After all, your body is our capital. How can we work if our health is not good? There will be more work for us in the future." Gao Tianming expressed his determination to do a good job to Li Zhenhua. The two talked until very late before resting. The next day, Li Zhenhua would return to the Yili front line because there were still many things waiting for him there. On the airship, Li Zhenhua thought about the future generations. General Wang Zhen led a million-strong army into Xinjiang and made a huge contribution to the stability of Xinjiang. Now he must also consider the stability of Xinjiang in the future. One is to have a large number of mainlanders immigrating here and to have a strong national defense. Without strength and a higher standard of living, it is difficult to think about stability. In the conversation with Gao Tianming, Li Zhenhua also explained two things to him. One is to use the powerful wind energy here to generate electricity. Although there is a lot of oil here, residual oil can be used to build thermal power plants, but the huge wind resources here cannot be ignored. The other one is that the Altay region to the north is rich in gold resources. This is also one of your future tasks. First, let the people from the intelligence department mn take a look and then protect it so that no one can mine it casually. This is a huge mine. Gold reserves. Gao Tianming also agreed to do these two things well, so Li Zhenhua could rest assured. It is advisable to send large troops to Xinjiang. This is a successful experience. You can do the same in the future. But now that you have West Asia in your hands and a huge buffer zone, Xinjiang has become China's. After moving inland and becoming more powerful, no one will dare to say "no" to us Chinese. Anyone who dares to say "no" to the Chinese will only be shooting themselves in the foot. After returning to Yili, Li Zhenhua talked about the situation there with his officers. They were also very moved. The Chinese people are too great. No difficulty can stump them. No matter how difficult it is, they must ensure the supply of fuel for the frontline troops while they build. While producing, we used our own blood and blood to overcome numerous difficulties and gradually build our new oil field. At that time, several people expressed that they must fight a good war and do not hesitate to shed blood on the battlefield for the sake of their country and people. They immediately began to study how to eliminate the remaining Russian army. Now the Russian army has retreated to Almaty. The patchwork army still has 20,000 to 30,000 people, and troops from all over the country have been gathered together to fight with us. According to the current situation, Saying that they are not our opponents, Li Zhenhua emphasized here that although the enemy is already a sick tiger, we must fight it as a real tiger. We have achieved a series of victories on the battlefield, but we cannot be arrogant and complacent. If we do not pay enough attention to the enemy, we are likely to lose on the battlefield. We must know that our pride and complacency on the battlefield will cost us a lot. Losing money. In short, we must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. Li Zhenhua quoted a sentence from a great man of later generations. Several officers thought that what Li Zhenhua said was reasonable. Everyone checked their own complacency and various bad behaviors in the troops below. Tendency question. Then they began to study the combat plan on how to attack the enemy based on the current situation. There are heavy enemy troops stationed in Almaty. They have now concentrated nearly 60,000 people. There are still some leaders of the Kazakhs living there. In this battle, we must let them know that the Russians are not our opponents at all. They are our defeated generals. At the same time, while attacking the Russian army, we must also let the Kazakhs know that the Russians are not our opponents at all. Let the mob take a look at our strength and let them truly understand who is the military boss in this world. Let them truly be willing to create us. Only by letting them surrender to us is our ultimate goal. Several people carefully considered the map and the information obtained by the scouts. At this time, Tao Mo, the governor of Xinjiang, came to pay homage to his father-in-law. When Li Zhenhua heard that the highest local official had arrived, he immediately invited him in to pay homage to his father-in-law. The courtesy is indispensable. Not to mention that Li Zhenhua also has the title of Imperial Envoy. Li Zhenhua felt strange that he came to see him today. He had already met him as soon as he arrived in Xinjiang. Why did he come again today? It turns out that this Tao model can be regarded as a decent person, but because he does not get along well with those Manchu generals, the size of Xinjiang is also large. The Russian army is too big??He reported the situation of the Russian army to the superiors. But the Ili general was afraid that he would report the loss of his land to the superiors, so he asked him to go to the inland to transport grain and grass. As a local governor, he could not have gone, but because his grain station was absent (yes, it was so far away) Although he is also a feudal official, it is almost the same as a distribution. However, Tao Miao does not have so much money to spend, so he can only come to a far away place.) At the same time, he has some situations that he has to tell his superiors, but he cannot do it because of the face of his colleagues. Hao Yan took the opportunity to escape. Although he is not in Xinjiang, he knows the situation in Xinjiang very clearly. After all, it is his own place. As soon as he heard that the Han nationality's father-in-law Li Zhenhua arrived in Xinjiang, he cheered up. Now that Xinjiang has saved the Russians, no matter how powerful they are, He is not his opponent. I think the prince-in-law has never lost a battle. He has stepped up his work in Gansu and mobilized a large amount of grain and grass locally. At the same time, he also seconded a group of Hui militia troops to the governor there. Those troops are also the same as the Mnggu people. They are all brave cavalry. On the way, he heard that Li Zhenhua gave those Russian troops a lesson, which made him very happy. So he speeded up and ran back. After reaching Dihua, he did not stand still and hurriedly headed west again. It was not until Ili that he realized that Li Zhenhua's new army was still there and had not started any new military operations. He hurriedly came to see Li Zhenhua. Text Chapter 306 The thoughts of the Kazakhs Main text Chapter 306 What the Kazakhs think Chapter 306 What the Kazakhs think Chapter 306 What the Kazakhs think Since knowing the situation of Tao Mo, the governor of Xinjiang, Li Zhenhua felt that this person was quite good, especially since he also brought some grain and grass to the front of the army. . Baidu search (typing chapters with hands) This makes Li Zhenhua very happy. Besides, he also needs to have a responsible person to preside over the overall situation in Xinjiang. Since Tao Mo is willing to do things, let him do it here. He is both military and economic here. It would not work without the support of the local government. Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang and Tao Mo talked carefully all night and asked him to devote all his attention to economic construction and military matters. After that, the original garrison would be responsible for fighting out. He could no longer take care of domestic affairs in such detail, so he told Tao Mo to fully support the enterprise construction in Xinjiang. Tao Mo happily agreed because he knew the situation in Yunnan and Guangdong and Guangxi because of Li Zhenhua's support. Their taxes have increased a lot, and it seems that they can benefit from this prince. At the same time, Li Zhenhua also told him that there is no need to talk to the court about the Karamay Oilfield that is currently under construction, because it is now after the construction period. I don¡¯t know what the situation will be if it doesn¡¯t work in the future. Tao Mo understood what was going on and happily agreed. In this way, Karamay continued to build under the cover of the local government. Li Zhenhua did not negotiate with him about the gold issue in the Altay area. He said that this was his secret. In the future, large military expenditures would not be possible without money. With a large amount of gold reserves, he felt confident. d. Regarding the railway issue, it was superficial. Now we must seize a large number of Russian prisoners of war. Just use it for construction. Anyway, it's cheap labor. It doesn't have to be in vain. First, fix the roadbed. Then use the forest resources in the Tianshan Mountains and the western region to complete the roadbed first. If you can, put the sleepers on, and then just wait for the rails. This way the work will be faster. A lot. Now it is obvious that the rail problem has restricted our progress. Now we cannot produce so many rails domestically. It seems that we still have to find a way to get the Northeast. There is a lot of steel in the Northeast. , oil, and coal. How could New China build Northeast China into a huge industrial base? If Northeast China was in its own hands, the problem of railway tracks would be much easier to solve. Li Zhenhua was very interested in the Hui troops brought by Tao Mo. Immediately gave them new weapons and equipment that were the same as their own new army equipment. At the same time, other troops were also asked to respect their living habits, and they were equipped with dedicated mn imams in their own troops to respect their national beliefs and According to their living habits, their troops were organized into a separate regiment. However, in order to improve their combat effectiveness, they also sent some more veteran soldiers and grassroots officers to them. China's revolution is the same as Western Persia. If there is a relationship with them in the future. If there is some interaction, then these Huihuo compatriots can communicate directly with them. Li Zhenhua will not suppress the Huihua compatriots like the original Qing government. They are all his own people. He will never do such stupid things, not only now and in the future, but also for the nation. The problem is a matter of principle, which must not be relaxed. If we want to achieve multi-ethnic integration, we must start from now. Why were the Manchus not so strict in the past? Some of my readers may have this idea. But I think it should be done this way, so I have always insisted on it. After careful preparations, Li Zhenhua ordered the army to set off. The target was Almaty, where the Russian army is currently stationed. After several days of marching, the troops arrived at the outskirts of Almaty. Li Zhenhua had been here in his previous life. Everything here now is completely different from that in later generations. His troops deployed defenses on the east, south, and west sides of Almaty. At the same time, they also deployed airships on three sides of Almaty. The New Army's airships also began reconnaissance activities on Almaty. The Russian troops in Almaty saw the squadron coming. Those annoying airships often buzzed above their heads. The Russian guards in Almaty were frightened. They immediately panicked and Vladimir ordered His own troops were guarding the north and west directions, but his headquarters was placed in the northernmost direction to facilitate escape. The Kazakh troops stationed on the first line of defense in the east and south served as the main defensive force. His Russian troops followed the Kazakhs as the second line, firstly to make them cannon fodder and secondly to prevent these Kazakhs from rebelling. His actions directly created a gap in the hearts of the Kazakhs. If you treat us like ashes, we will never be of the same mind as you. Seeing Vladimir's defensive arrangements, the Kazakhs were very dissatisfied. The purpose of taking refuge with you was for our own safety. But now you put us on the front line for your own safety and let us go and fight with the Chinese. You are serving as cannon fodder in a war, but you are ready to escape. You know that this was our own place in the Qing Dynasty a few decades ago. You are too unethical.??. The leaders of the Kazakh tribes immediately gathered together and began to consider their situation. A group of leaders from various tribes, including Xiakan Duman, Urezibay Alstanbek, Pauljan Oraz, and Shihakjan, gathered together. They wanted to discuss the situation before them. Decades ago Due to the decline of the Qing government, the leaders of various tribes took the initiative to join the Russians for the safety of their own tribes. Now those Russians were beaten by the Chinese and came here. Now they no longer have the ability to deal with the Chinese. They want us to go. Dealing with the Chinese. Looking at the Chinese airships flying in the sky, I have no ability to fight them. Xiakan Duman, the oldest and most powerful among them, said to everyone: "Everyone has seen the situation. The Russians cannot defeat the Chinese. What should we do? Should we follow their orders and start a war against the Chinese? Everyone said Tell us what you think." Everyone was silent and no one spoke. The youngest Shihakjan said: "Our tribe is closest to the Chinese. If the Russians defeat us, we will have nowhere to go. Our only way out is to China. There are also our Kazakhs who take refuge with them. According to the current situation, it is safest for us to take refuge with them. We have no other choice." "I also agree with what Shihakjiang said. Although we stay away from them, it is for our own sake. We have no choice but to surrender to them," Urezibay Alstanbek continued. Paul Jiang Olazi raised his head and said to everyone: "There is nothing to say. Our previous generation went to them just to stop fighting and have a peaceful living environment. Now I don't know if the Chinese can give us such a If the environment is possible, of course I would choose to go back. "But there are also several tribal leaders who do not agree to join the Chinese because they feel that China is no longer viable. They have always suffered defeats against the Russians. Even if the Chinese invaded their place, they were still willing to defend their homeland with the Russian army and drive the Chinese away. Text Chapter 307 Hostages Text Chapter 307 Hostages Chapter 307 Hostages Chapter 307 Hostages These Kazakh tribal leaders argued together for a long time without coming up with a specific solution. At this time, the Russian army came again to convey Vladimir¡¯s order. Let all their patriarchs send their sons to Russian military camps to be held as hostages. Because Vladimir knows the unstable thoughts of these Kazakhs, in order to ensure that they have no worries when they fight with the Chinese, he takes their families as hostages and further controls them. This behavior of the Russians aroused even greater resentment among the Kazakhs. Shakejan didn't care what they were doing. He got up and went back. He and the Russian soldiers feigned a shot and led his tribesmen to run towards the mountains in the southeast. On the way, they met the patrol of the squadron. When they saw them walking towards the mountains, they just greeted them friendly and ignored them at all. Shihakjiang also wanted to see how capable the squadron was in dealing with the Russian army. Seeing those Kazakh people running out of Almaty, Li Zhenhua had already ordered the troops to ignore them as long as they did not act hostile to him. If they ran away and were unwilling to deal with the Russians, they might become themselves. friends. Pauljan Olaz returned to his station. A Russian officer led a few soldiers and was waiting for him. They wanted to take his son back as a hostage. In this case, Pauljan Olaz had nothing else. The only solution was to let them take their son away. d After the Russians left, he immediately sent one of his cronies to go to China to see what the Chinese's attitude was? If you can, then if you can't cooperate, you can only fight to the death with the Chinese. You have no choice because your son is now in the hands of the Russians. The subordinate of Paul Jiang Olaz was named Satibaldi (meaning bought). He could be said to be loyal to his master. When he arrived at the Chinese military camp, he was welcomed by the Chinese, a Kazakh. The officer Quandik received him and asked him: "Balangzi (young man), what are you doing here?" Satibaldi said to Quandik: "I'm looking for your greatest commander." Quandik said to him: " What's the matter with you?" "My master asked me to come to see your greatest commander." Kuandik knew Li Zhenhua's war policy and took him there immediately. As soon as he saw Li Zhenhua Kuandik said to him: "This is a Kazakh brother. He is from over there. His master asked him to come here." After hearing this, Li Zhenhua felt that this was a gap that could be opened. He immediately said to him happily: "Welcome to us, what can your master do?" Satibaldi told Li Zhenhua the purpose of his master asking him to come. Li Zhenhua immediately said to him: "We are originally a family. I am very happy that you are willing to come back. Please go back and ask your master to come and talk to me face to face at a convenient time. I will wait for him here." Then he asked the Kazakh warriors to eat with him. Satibaldi went back. When leaving, Quandik sent him far away before returning. At this time, Quandik and Satibaldi were already very good friends. Quandik gave Satibaldi his first Browning pistol as a meeting gift. Pauljan Olaz listened carefully to Satibaldi's report. He also thought about his situation seriously. It turned out that the purpose of taking refuge with the Russians was nothing more than to get their protection from the threat of war. Now the Russians treat the Chinese It was impossible to defeat them. Besides, it turned out that they were also Chinese. Due to the weakness of the Qing government in the later period, the Kazakhs began to turn to Russia. Now that the Russians are dying, there is no need to follow them anymore. It is better to return to their homeland. But the Chinese Paul Jiang Oraz was also a little worried, so he discussed with Satybaldi not to go to the Chinese military camp. What if those Chinese people want to deal with me? Also, book a place and take your team there so that the Chinese don¡¯t eat you up. Paul Jiang Oraz asked Satibaldi to go to the Chinese military camp again and asked the Chinese top leaders to meet in a hill. He did not let the Chinese bring troops and could only let them bring ten people. Li Zhenhua After listening to their request, they immediately agreed. Feng Guozhang and others disagreed. Li Zhenhua did not agree to go there in person. He wanted to go to meet them on behalf of Li Zhenhua. But Li Zhenhua said: "You don't have to worry. They don't dare to have bad intentions. Now the situation is over. Sooner or later, the Russians will be in our game." They won't be able to see that the probability of them turning to us is more than 90%. You can rest assured that I am not in danger. I will just take a few of my guards there. " officer?Immediately they became anxious and thought that the Commander-in-Chief was too dangerous. He must not let the Commander-in-Chief go into danger alone. Without talking to them, he could not let his Commander-in-Chief go into danger. At this time, Wang Shizhen said: "Don't be anxious, everyone. I think the commander-in-chief's analysis is correct. They have no ability to conspire with us now. The Russians are a big enemy. At present, the Russians want to kill them, and we are here to help them. After all, They turned out to be our people. They can't be so stupid. I'll just go with the commander-in-chief and leave Lao Feng at home to take charge of the situation at home." Li Zhenhua agreed with Wang Shizhen and led Wang Shizhen at the agreed time. Several of his guards went together. His guard captain Sun Feihu carefully selected eight people to follow him. Yaqi and Jin Xifeng were also going. They didn't listen to others at all. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to agree. They go together. Feng Guozhang told Sun Feihu for a long time, telling him to protect the Commander-in-Chief no matter what. Sun Feihu said to Feng Guozhang: "Their fighting power is not strong and they don't take action if they encounter us. If we do, we can protect the Commander-in-Chief and the two female generals." If you are a good player, we might be able to capture their leader. " Li Zhenhua and the others set out. Feng Guozhang immediately mobilized his troops and prepared ten vehicles. The young men of the guard battalion were all ready to set off. A battalion of cavalry followed them closely. Behind them, their location was only more than a thousand meters away from the meeting place. A dozen other sharpshooters were also ambushing around the meeting place, and they had already prepared for the worst. Text Chapter 308 The Battle of Aweimutu Text Chapter 308: The Battle of Awemutu Chapter 308: The Battle of Awemutu Chapter 308: The Battle of Awemutu The Kazakhs on the opposite side were also ready and their cavalry followed them closely. behind the owners. Baidu search (typing chapters by hand) At noon, Paul Jiang, Olazi and Satibaldi came. Li Zhenhua warmly received them. Quandik said that it would be enough to serve roasted whole lamb, but Li Zhenhua used hot pot lamb in an ingenious way. Paul Jiang Olazi was very happy when Ru came to entertain the guests. He said to Li Zhenhua: "I have been guarding the sheep all my life, but I have never had such a good lamb hot pot." As soon as Li Zhenhua saw him happy, he let people eat him. The hot pot was also given to Paul Jiang Orazi, which made Paul Jiang Orazi very grateful. Li Zhenhua said to him: "We are a family. If you want to come back, we are still one family. You are welcome." "He took off his pistol and gave it to Paul Jiang Oraz and said to him: "When you go back, tell the other tribal leaders: Don't expect others to protect you. You have to protect yourself. I can give you advanced weapons. In addition, we will give you all the weapons captured by the Russian army in the battle. You must protect your homeland." Paul Jiang Olaz said to Li Zhenhua: "We are all Kazakhs. In fact, we never lie to our brothers. From now on, we will work with you to defend our homeland." Li Zhenhua asked Kuandik to lead dozens of Kazakh soldiers back to their base with Pauljan Olaz. Bao Erjiang Olazi met again with some other tribal leaders in the evening and asked Kuandik to meet with them. He told everyone the attitude of Li Zhenhua, the imperial envoy of the Qing Dynasty, towards everyone. After listening to it, everyone was very happy. I am very happy to think that Mr. Li's attitude is very sincere. We don't have to hesitate anymore and just invest in China. But someone immediately raised the issue of hostages. Kuandik said to everyone: "Our commander-in-chief is here. Arrangements were made when I arrived. Our special forces will be responsible for rescuing the hostages. We must not let our relatives be harmed. You should continue to maintain a hostile attitude towards us as before to prevent the Russians from becoming suspicious. During the attack, we first solve the hostage problem and then attack the Russian army. You don¡¯t need to do anything to actually fight, just our troops.¡± Those people were very moved because this is fundamentally different from the Russians. Let us be cannon fodder while the squadron is protecting itself. Together, they carefully planned how to distinguish the armies of each tribe. In fact, this is very good. The Russian army has its own military uniforms. Don't let the squadron's cannons hit your own people. They stipulated that all the troops of the Kazakh tribe would fly red flags on their heads. Then Quandik asked Satibaldi to lead him to the place where the Russians held the hostages to have a look at the terrain. In order to know the terrain well, Quandik left his own. The soldier returned to his camp with Satibaldi. He reported his experience this time and the situation of the Kazakh tribes to the commander-in-chief. Li Zhenhua and several officers analyzed the enemy's situation together. They decided to attack the enemy as soon as possible to avoid If there were any new changes in Ye Changmengduo, their preparations had already been made. They would just send a small force to Almaty to attack and rescue the hostages before launching an attack on the enemy. At night, a small force quietly entered Almaty. They were all wearing Kazakh national costumes. If they didn't speak, no one would be able to tell. They hid in various tribes. The sun rose early the next morning as usual, but today was destined to be no ordinary day. The assault team had already approached the place where the hostages were held. They reported the situation to the headquarters through the radio. The airship in the sky had already figured out the enemy's situation. The clock was moving very fast. As we walked towards ten o'clock, we suddenly heard the sound of artillery shells tearing the air, followed by a huge explosion, and then the entire Russian army station was plunged into a sea of ??fire. The sound of cannons ordered the assault team to immediately launch an attack on the enemy's detention point. When the enemy was unprepared, they quickly eliminated the guards there. A dozen Kazakh hostages were rescued, and the people of each tribe immediately took out their leaders. The relatives were sent to a safe place. The assault team soon began to attack the enemy. At this time, a large number of Russian troops rushed here. It turned out that when Vladimir heard this, he thought that the Kazakhs had rebelled. He immediately sent troops to attack them. Even the Kazakhs alone could fight with them, let alone He said he had the support of the squadron. After the assault team reported to the headquarters, the artillery shells flew towards the Russian army as if they had eyes. The artillery fire preparations continued for thirty minutes and then gradually stopped. The Russian soldiers were just about to take a breath, but they I heard thousands of battles again?The sound of a galloping car. The cavalry has not arrived yet, but the infantry who have already entered the starting point of the charge have begun the charge with loud shouts. If we talk about street fighting, it is still the infantry who use the walls and streets to severely attack the enemy. Soldiers who have undergone rigorous training and those who have not. Street fighting training is not on the same level at all. Use rifles to shoot from a distance. Grenade makes full use of the terrain and features. An enemy's heavy machine gun firepower point is discovered. Immediately, mortar shells fly over. The soldiers cover each other and attack the enemy. . A cannonball also fell in Vladimir's headquarters. Several unlucky officers were killed immediately. Vladimir was lucky. He was only injured on his arm. The guards hurriedly bandaged him. The enemy in front of him was Since you are invincible, you have no other choice but to run away quickly. Didn¡¯t the squadron leave a passage for you? Then hurry up. Vladimir hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat to the west and north. A large number of Russian troops ran northwestward. After leaving Almaty, they felt relieved and finally ran out of the squadron's strike range. Although there were still Chinese pursuers behind, it would be fine as long as they sent troops to block them. Vladimir ordered one of his troops to block it and prevent the squadron from catching up. He led the troops and ran to the northwest. Text Chapter 309 Ambush Text Chapter 309 Ambush Chapter 309 Ambush Chapter 309 Ambush Vladimir himself ran away, but not all his troops ran out. The soldiers of the infantry division knew that if the enemy ran away and they were infantry, there would be no way to catch up. They simply cut off the enemy and surrounded the Kazakh fighters in Almaty who had defected to the Chinese side. They had long hated the Russians. Now that they saw that they were surrounded, they also attacked them with the squadron. There were also some The Kazakh soldiers held high the red flag and chased the enemy in the distance. The Russian army had already been knocked unconscious, not to mention that its own officers had already run away on their own. They could no longer organize a resistance. Soon they were divided and surrounded by squadrons and were eaten one by one. After riding wildly for more than an hour, Vladimir ran nearly thirty miles. Looking at his pursuers who were far away, he felt that he had escaped the Chinese attack, but the mountain road ahead made him lose control. My heart started to rise. A small road passed through a mountain. The terrain here was not very good. If the Chinese ambush an army here, I would not be able to escape the fate of being a prisoner. Looking at the pursuer behind, Vladi Mir had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward. There was a trace of luck in his heart: the Chinese were not familiar with the terrain here and they could not ambush the blocking troops here. The troops entered the canyon smoothly. There was no other sound except the sound of the horses' hooves. He looked at the mountains on both sides. Except for some small woods on the mountains, it was white snow. There was nothing unusual about him. My heart calmed down a little. The moans of several injured soldiers continued to float into his ears, making him feel a little irritated. The airship in the distance followed them unhurriedly, which added some fear to Vladimir's heart. There is no way to move on since you have already entered. On the mountains on both sides of the canyon, troops of the Chinese New Army were ambushing there. They surrounded three sides and left one side behind. This was a classic tactics method in ancient China. In the cold weapon era, they were afraid that the enemy would fight to the death and leave one side behind, which would affect the opponent's morale. That way they could think that they could escape. They would not engage in a desperate battle, and would devote a lot of thought to escaping. The side left behind now also means this. At the same time, this is also the only way for the Russian army to go home. After several days of reconnaissance, they discovered this canyon. The only way for the Russian army to pass is also their death place. But that's not the case today. Wei San has completely blocked the enemy's retreat. The remaining side is not the one left for the Kazakhs without sending troops. With so many people, they can't block the enemy. Then they There is no need to be in this world anymore. The Russian troops are coming in continuously. When they all come in, the encirclement and annihilation battle will begin. Li Zhenhua keeps holding the telescope in his hand and looking at the enemy's back. A correspondent came to Li Zhenhua: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief on the airship that all the enemies have entered the canyon." Yes, all the enemies have entered the canyon. The red flags of the pursuit troops have been spotted from behind. The rearguard troops of the Russian army have exchanged fire with the pursuit troops. Li Zhenhua nodded to Feng Guozhang: "Let's start." Feng Guozhang immediately began to order: "Start." The three soldiers stood on a high place and raised their signal guns. "Bang, bang, bang," three red S-flares flew into the air, followed by gunshots. The sound of gunfire, gunfire, and grenade explosions was heard. The Russian army squeezed in the canyon was marching. They received a sudden attack from the mountains on both sides. The entire team became a ball. They never expected that the squadron would stop them here. When Vladimir saw this situation, he immediately ordered the troops to charge forward. Open a bloody path to cover the troops as they rush out. However, the troops blocking the gap had already blocked all the way forward. It was impossible for them to rush out to meet them. Several heavy machine guns fired several tongues of flame at them, like sickles in the hands of the god of death, quickly harvesting the Russian army. Soldier's life. Behind them were the mortar gunners who quickly loaded shells into the barrels. The Russian soldiers had formed a group and were no longer in formation. The officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their own officers and soldiers. They were running around. They just wanted a place to hide, but there were many people there and they were attacked. The most important places to strike are especially those huge airships in the sky. Their heavy machine guns are constantly firing at crowded places. They are not only destroying the enemy themselves, but also giving directions to the artillery on the ground. The place where they attack is The place with the most enemies. In the Russian army below, only a few people would raise their guns and shoot at high places. However, after their actions were discovered by the squadron on favorable terrain, bullets would immediately fly towards them, either hitting their heads or piercing their chests. Of course, those who were dressed differently than the soldiers Officers in the same uniform are even more targeted by the infantry. Attacks on the mountains on both sides continued to hit the enemy and soon the RussiansMany officers and soldiers in the army had thrown away their weapons and squatted together with their heads in their hands. Feng Guozhang ordered the troops: "Charge". More than a dozen buglers stood up together, and the loud bugles rang through the sky. The soldiers carried rifles with bayonets and charged down the mountain. The number of enemies rushing towards the downward attack team was simply countless. The soldiers shouted: "Kill!" and rushed into the enemy down the mountain. Seeing those shining bayonets rushing over, the soldiers of the Russian army were completely frightened. Most of them dropped their weapons and raised their hands towards the squadron. Those who surrendered and did not want to surrender would be a dead end. Soon they were divided and surrounded, and then they raised their hands and surrendered. In the end, all that was left was Vladimir's guards fighting in a corner. But the guards of several hundred people only turned over their little lng flowers in front of thousands of squadrons, and were swallowed up by the torrent of squadrons. In the end, those who stood there There were only dozens of guards who were all injured. The squadron surrounded an officer who came up and said in Russian: "Put down your weapons and fight without killing." At this time, Vladimir had no choice. He said to an officer under his command: "Forget it, don't let the soldiers do it again." Let us surrender." The officer took a piece of rag and shouted to the soldiers who were fighting: "Stop, stop, the commander ordered us to surrender." After the battle, the prisoners were taken aside and the captured guns and ammunition were taken away. The yo piled up into a hill. The soldiers from various Kazakh tribes discovered that our squadron was too capable of fighting tens of thousands of Russian troops. In their hands, the Russian army only lasted less than a day and was completely annihilated.

The big guy on the airship in the sky will not talk about it. I also know that they have heavy machine guns, but those small cannons they have are so amazing. They are only as long as a human arm. The bomb in their hands is where they want to throw it. It is still very powerful. The Chinese rifles are also different from their own. In the same way, they can reload bullets unlike their own. Li Zhenhua came to the Kazakh warriors and shook hands with them. The tribal leaders also came. They surrounded Li Zhenhua and walked to a high ground. Li Zhenhua stood up and said to the soldiers below: "Brothers, under the attack of our unity, The Russian army has completely failed. This is the victory of our unity. It is the result of our compatriots of all ethnic groups uniting to the outside world. I believe that when our ethnic groups are united, they will never dare to invade us again." Kuandik next to him. The Kazakh brothers who were translating for Li Zhenhua cheered. The work of clearing the battlefield went smoothly. A team of nearly 40,000 prisoners required a large space. The number of guns and ammunition was also very large, so they were all handed over to the Kazakh troops. Of course, there were also a large number of gold rubles, which needed to be carried out. After unified treatment, the subsequent construction will require a lot of money. Although it looks like a lot, if it is really used, it will not be enough, but it is better than nothing. There is also a large amount of food and other materials, most of which are used for the construction of the army. It turns out that the Kazakhs live a very hard life and their expenses are not very high. But from now on, their lives will be improved, as long as they can produce and live by themselves. It will definitely improve. The troops arranged to rest. Li Zhenhua summoned the leaders of the Kazakh tribes to study the next plan. Li Zhenhua said to them: "In the future, we cannot rely on others to protect us. We must use our own strength to defend our own beautiful homeland. Seized All the weapons are given to you, which can equip about 40,000 to 50,000 troops. You have to organize your own army to defend yourself." But the Kazakh leaders knew that this young Chinese imperial envoy was a member of the squadron. As the commander-in-chief, they would be his subordinates from now on. They raised objections when they saw that this gentleman wanted to organize an army for themselves. They think that Li Zhenhua must help them reorganize the troops. If they just do it by themselves, I'm afraid they can't do it wholeheartedly. Everyone has their own little ninety-nine. At the same time, there are some Mao Dun among them. They are not convinced by each other. Maybe some people will fight for power. They are against Li Zhenhua. They were convinced, so they decided to ask Li Zhenhua to manage their troops, so Li Zhenhua agreed. So with the help of Li Zhenhua, three Kazakh cavalry divisions were established. They were all equipped with Russian weapons. At the same time, some weapons of the squadron were also equipped with them. The purchased Satibaldi became the first division because of his bravery in combat. The other two divisions also have suitable candidates. They are all Kazakh warriors, but Li Zhenhua has very strict requirements for their division commanders. They are required to undergo systematic study before they can become competent. Now, the mid-level officers will temporarily manage and train some grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers. They are also sent into their troops in order to improve their overall combat effectiveness. The names of these three divisions are "Kazakh Self-Defense Forces", and the leaders of their various tribes elect the candidates they think are suitable as their leaders. A new Kazakh local government was born. Of course, their thinking is close to China. The leadership of those armies is now in the hands of the Chinese. Li Zhenhua informed the Ili defenders of the outcome of the battle and asked them to report to the court, saying that he was currently confronting the Russian army. Both sides were already guarding their respective borders, but the Russian army still wanted to attack us, so for the time being. It is not possible to return to the DPRK until next year. It is estimated that we will not be able to decide when to go back until next year depending on the situation. But for Sheng Xuanhuai and others, he told them the real situation so that the people in the rear could rest assured. After a brief training, those troops began to march to various places. They wanted to drive away all Russian troops and prevent them from being in their own land. The 1st Kazakh Division has been heading north and has its eyes on Russia's Yekaterinburg from a distance. The 2nd Division is heading northwest to the border area of ??Kazakhstan. The 3rd Division is heading west to the northwest corner of the Caspian Sea. On the surface, it seems that they are actually facing Yekaterinburg. Li Zhenhua's idea is still that the Tyumen area in Russia is the largest oil field in Russia. Li Zhenhua¡¯s original cavalry division and infantry division have been dispersed. They are advancing towards the nearby original Russian places and taking those places into their own hands as soon as possible. His purpose is??Take it down here and let them manage themselves. Don't let them become tributaries of Russia. Let them come out on their own, which will disperse Russia's power and make them lean as much as possible to themselves. In the future, if you need it, you can directly ask them to listen to you. Yes. Wang Shizhen stayed to help the Kazakhs build their basic economic industry. It turned out that they were nomadic people. Now it is very difficult to change them from the original production model to the industrial model. However, in order to better cooperate with Kazakhstan, a large number of industrial products were shipped to Kazakhstan. here. At the same time, we must also let them start producing some simple industrial products that they need. They cannot simply rely on being shipped from the mainland of China. Although shipping your own products can bring you great benefits, if you want to firmly hold Kazakhstan in your hands, you still have to help them. In the future, whether they appear as a country or as a subsidiary of themselves, they must It must be gradually strengthened and people's lives must be greatly improved. Now the demand for railways here has become very obvious. Whether it is military or economic development, the construction of railways must be accelerated. Wang Shizhen, who is responsible for logistics work, feels that this should be made immediately because it is too difficult to transport military supplies from the mainland. Ah, the cost was also very high. Li Zhenhua thought what he said was very reasonable, so he agreed with him and asked him to inform Zhan Tianyou to send people here to conduct exploration and surveying. The railway tracks have now been laid to Lanzhou, Gansu. The entire Hexi Corridor has also completed the earthworks of the roadbed. A large number of migrant workers have been organized in various places to start railway construction work. Zhan Tianyou sent the best technical force here to explore and measure the terrain here. The entire northwest region was divided into several sections. Shaanxi was followed by Gansu and the slowest was Xinjiang. After all, the place here is too big. Text Chapter 311 Kazakhstan is in its own hands Text Chapter 311 Kazakhstan is in its own hands Chapter 311 Kazakhstan is in its own hands Chapter 311 Kazakhstan is in its own hands Now Kazakhstan has just begun to enter the railway plan, but Li Zhenhua has already made up his mind that this road will continue to be built. The end point in the west should be Europe, so I don¡¯t know. Anyway, the biggest cost is the railway tracks, sleepers and other projects. So let the locals repair the roadbed as soon as possible. There is a lot of forest here. Cut down the trees and make the sleepers in advance and put them on the roadbed. Just wait for the rails. Baidu search (Hand-typing chapter) The third major item is the wages of workers. Except for the Chinese, the wages of everyone else are very low. In addition, the prisoners of war only give them a small amount of pocket money in addition to taking care of food. There is no need to provide such a labor force in vain. There is no need to carry out earthworks first. Anyway, we are not afraid of them causing damage. Then we will gradually select from them and keep the good ones. It is better to say that the soldiers have many ways to deal with them. The worst ones will be left. If they disappear on their own, the problem will be completely solved. Tens of thousands of Russian prisoners of war have become the main force in China's railway construction and oil field construction. Some of them have worked in this industry before, and they are very active in their work, so let them start earning wages. As long as you work for us wholeheartedly, you will be exempted from the status of a prisoner of war and become an official Chinese worker, which will allow you to earn high wages. If you are happy, you can return to your country to bring your family members, or you can become our A team of citizens came to Almaty under the protection of armed security. Looking at their equipment, it can be seen that they are a team carrying out measurements. The young people who arrived here are only in their thirties. After taking a short rest, they immediately contacted the relevant local personnel and soon entered the construction site to start their work. Their first step was to design a line from Ili to Almaty, which is the Eurasian continent. These engineering and technical personnel are very friendly to the Kazakh people. They treat them equally as their own people and never discriminate against those workers. They also find ways to treat some workers who are in poor health. Over time, they have become very good friends. They always tell each other if something happens to the Kazakh family, and the Han friends also go to help. Once, a Kazakh young man came to help. When he told his friends that he was getting married, many workers took the initiative to help clean up the house. The big red double "happiness" characters with Chinese characteristics were pasted on the window in front of the mn. They also cut window grilles and placed them on the Kazakhs. The old man happily said to the children: "It's great. Our work has never been so lively." The leaders also gave some symbolic gifts to the young man and gave the young man a few days of vacation. This made people happy. He said that this had never happened before. The engineering and technical personnel sent by Zhan Tianyou came to a foreign country and were assisted by local personnel. Railway people are famous for their hard work and hard work. They didn't care about the bad working environment and were working hard. The Kazakh people were also working hard. They rushed to do the hard work and let the technicians do as little as possible, so they also worked hard. They learned a lot of knowledge and work skills, which will be of great benefit to them in their future work. Since the weather has turned cold, Li Zhenhua¡¯s request for the troops sent to the Russian border is not to allow them to launch new offensives but only on favorable terrain. Choose a suitable place to prepare for the winter. At the same time, you must ensure the safety and smoothness of the logistics channels and ensure the smooth flow of communications. The three troops can be closer to each other for preparedness, allowing the enemy to make dumplings. At the same time, Feng Guozhang is required to prepare the troops' clothing for a safe winter. Be sure to prepare all the food, fuel, etc. The winter there is very cold, with temperatures of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, which is unbearable for many people. Even the Kazakhs cannot fully adapt. Since entering the Kazakh region, the area that originally belonged to the south of Russia has been cut off by Li Zhenhua. Those places in the south are also in a similar situation to Kazakhstan. They are also protected by Russia. Now the Russian army has been attacked by the Chinese. They have lost their troops and fled in embarrassment in front of the Chinese. And they can no longer send troops to protect the southern region. The squadron's westward march out of the Kazakh region was like a sharp sword thrusting between them, dividing Russia's newly occupied areas from their original areas. In this case, Feng Guozhang led the New Army and several Kazakh divisions in the north to contain the Russian army. They chose favorable terrain and began to build their own long-term defenses to prepare themselves for long-term dealing with the Russians. Li Zhenhua used the infiltration method in the southern region. Now the land is covered by heavy snow. However, due to the large amount of daily necessities produced in the mainland,?Many merchants from the outside came here to do business. They spread the news that the Chinese had occupied Kazakhstan. More merchants came here. People west of Congling also began to come and saw the squadron, a mighty force in the civilization. The teachers and the others were very impressed by the publicity of the political, cultural, and economic conditions here in Almaty to other places, so that some tribes in the surrounding areas began to move closer to here. Li Zhenhua accelerated his work in the western region. His original purpose was to obtain greater oil resources. Now the oil here has not been discovered by people. Most of the places Li Zhenhua went to are desert areas. Various countries do not pay much attention to this area. This area was once occupied by multiple countries in history. Now everyone thinks this should be their own place. Some have been occupied for decades, while others have been occupied for hundreds of years. The land occupation varies and there is no specific division now. Li Zhenhua took advantage of such a situation to realize his plan. He wanted to support a person who is inclined to him to be the master of this place. Those Kazakhs now have no good impression of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise they would not vote for Russia. But Russia blindly plundered them and did not even think about how to help them. Li Zhenhua treated them as his brothers as soon as he arrived. He helped them in every possible way without any ethnic discrimination. Moreover, the squadron's ability to fight made the Kazakhs regard him as a god. This was exactly what Li Zhenhua wanted. . So they voluntarily sided with Li Zhenhua. Text Chapter 312 Sheng Xuanhuai is in Fangcheng Text Chapter 312 Sheng Xuanhuai is in Fangcheng Chapter 312 Sheng Xuanhuai is in Fangcheng Chapter 312 Sheng Xuanhuai is in Fangcheng After arranging the work in Almaty, Li Zhenhua decided to continue heading west. He wanted to go to the west to see the ancient Persian Empire to the west. The road ahead was even more difficult. He asked Yaqi and Jin Xifeng to stay in Aweimutu to help Wang Shizhen. Their main job was to rectify the army and consolidate government work. He led the detachment that had been trained in the desert. The desert forces continued to advance westward. Chapter) This desert force describes itself as a desert eagle. Li Zhenhua calls them the Sand Eagle Regiment. The leader is young Xu Feng. His regiment can be said to be very powerful in combat. The defending soldiers are also It has undergone arduous training and is larger than an ordinary regiment. Their total combat personnel are nearly 2,500, which can be said to be a strengthened regiment. If it encounters a division with other ordinary armies, it will not be theirs. opponent. The ancient Persian Empire was in front of them. Now they have come to an end just like the Qing government. There is the greedy Russian Empire in the north, and British India in the south. Both the north and the south are eyeing them. There are small frictions and three major wars of aggression in succession. They have become the British. They have occupied a lot of land in the north and south of the colonies. Due to its poverty and backward military strength, the Persian Empire could not be under their attack from the north and the south. Li Zhenhua doesn't care about the situation in the Persian Empire now. What he cares about is the oil resources under their vast territory. That's a disease in Li Zhenhua's heart. The world is in a state of disorder and he must make full use of the current opportunities to occupy a greater share for his descendants. living space. Li Zhenhua entered the western mountainous area. They did not encounter many military obstacles along the way. The road they walked along was the northern region of the Persian Empire. This place used to be dominated by the Russians. Now the Russian army has been beaten away by them. New forces have not come in here now. It has become a vacuum zone. After bidding farewell to Li Zhenhua and the others and heading to the northwest, Sheng Xuanhuai began to work nervously according to the work Li Zhenhua told him. He first accompanied his wife to Shanghai for a short stay, and then they went to Fangcheng in the south together. He looked at the work carefully. What he meant was to have a preliminary understanding of the situation so that he could have a clear idea. The focus of the city defense is that most of the infantry's light weapons of the military industrial enterprises are produced here. In addition, there is a secret weapon testing site. The central area of ??the site is the Weapons Research Institute. The work here is currently in charge of Huang Jianxin. He is the director and director of the arsenal. Ding Jixian, deputy chief engineer, is the chief engineer. There is a shipyard here in Fangcheng. The shipyard directors Qiao Delu, David Smith, John Holanton, Esmeer and others are also the chief engineers of the shipyard. Qiao Delu and David Smith are responsible for the development of surface ships. Designer John Hollandon was responsible for the underwater part, that is, the submarine part and torpedo research. In addition, there is the automobile industry in Fangcheng, which is run by brothers Charles and Frank Durier. Their work is very real. Things that have not been done in the United States have been done here. They feel deeply grateful to Li Zhenhua. Ji led a group of Chinese technical workers to carry out various scientific research work, which kept the automobiles here at the forefront of the world. Because China¡¯s original industrial foundation is relatively weak and its technical strength is relatively poor. Many places are all made by hand. Therefore, there is still a big gap between their automobile industry and the American automobile industry. It is difficult to surpass American automobiles in terms of quality and quantity. But the advantage here is that Li Zhenhua has some knowledge about the original world. This has saved China's various industrial constructions from taking a lot of detours. Some of the world's leading things are also made by himself first. With new technologies, patents can be sold. When selling the patent, it also agrees with the purchaser to occupy a considerable share of their shares. The original automobile was driven by a steam engine, but thanks to the design and production of the automobile internal combustion engine by the brothers Charles and Frank Durier, the Chinese have permanently occupied the leading position in the automobile industry. Next in terms of position is the assembly line operation method, which Li Zhenhua plagiarized from Mr. Ford, but now Mr. Ford bought it back with a lot of money and a large number of shares. ¡°In this way, wouldn¡¯t it be easier for Xinghua Group Company to have a strong source of funds to invent any automobile inventions? Any new automobile technology in the world now basically comes from China's Fangcheng. Correspondingly, the world's first automobile industry appraisal agency has been established here. Only if it passes the appraisal of the Chinese will it be recognized by people. welcome. Chinese workers know their shame and are brave. They know their own gaps and they must try their best to catch up with the advanced level in the world. A group of new people also grew up quickly, mainly due to the improvement of the quality of Chinese workers. Each enterprise has its own part-time school, which is very popular abroad.What's the matter? But these have a great promotion effect on Chinese enterprises. They can learn what they use now and use it. This has made the Chinese people who were originally low in quality quickly improve. Li Zhenhua pays close attention to all the work here. He himself often comes here. Those people admire him very much because he can often come up with some new ideas for people, ranging from various infantry and light weapons to the navy. In all aspects of industrial production of heavy weapons and equipment, he can come up with some construction ideas that people would never think of before. Sheng Xuanhuai also knows a little about the work here. Now that Li Zhenhua is gone, he will take on the responsibility here. Both wives are also talented people. Wang Xin has more contact with business and banking. She was a great help to Li Zhenhua at the beginning. Now as the work develops step by step, the burden on her shoulders is also very heavy. Yaqi It turned out that the two sisters, who had also studied for a long time in the prince's house, helped Li Zhenhua start his own business, mainly to help him make money. Zhao Hongyan and several bosses received the news that Sheng Xuanhuai and his wife were coming. They first came to visit and then gave them work reports one after another to let them have a preliminary understanding of their work. Then Sheng Xuanhuai went to each unit to have a look at this place. Have a real understanding of the job. It¡¯s relatively close to the shipyard, so let¡¯s go to the shipyard first to have a look. Shanghai¡¯s original Machinery Bureau included a shipyard, and Sheng Xuanhuai was quite proficient in this. Text Chapter 313 Exporting Warships and Submarines Text Chapter 313 Exporting Warships and Submarines Chapter 313 Exporting Warships and Submarines Chapter 313 Exporting Warships and Submarines The original shipyard was mainly focused on cargo ships. However, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1898, the Chinese Navy performed well in many maritime countries. Focusing on China's shipyards, there are both civilian and warships, so there are still a lot of orders here. Similarly, Shanghai's Jiangnan Shipyard also has many orders like Fangcheng, but Fuzhou's Mawei Shipyard cannot. They Under the control of the Qing government, they have not yet turned over, but they also have the idea of ????turning the shipyard into a commercial operation, but it has not yet been implemented. Several maritime countries in South America are already eyeing this place. Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries are very interested in the warships produced by China. The combination of speed, protection and firepower shined in the battle against the Japanese Navy and made the world's warships proud. Maritime countries have become curious about China's warships. They have completely broken away from the original model of being the world's boss. It turns out that if you order warships from the British, you have to be mentally prepared to be "slaughtered." In other words, the warships they produce for you are the latest technology that cannot sink British ships. They only produce them for themselves, but the Chinese do not. There are no rules and regulations. We can design according to your requirements, and the price is cheaper than the British. Some of the technologies are more advanced than the British. In addition, the delivery time of the workers can be guaranteed. The most humane thing about the Chinese is to make some instructions. The most welcome thing is that they have their own language. d. Beat. Bar) Sheng Xuanhuai and his party came to the shipyard. The security inspection at the Mn entrance was very strict and they did not relax the inspection because of their understanding. The environment in the factory area is very beautiful. Various tropical trees are planted in the factory area. The trees and shrubs are planted according to the terrain, which is beautiful and generous. And the combination was very reasonable. They first went to a building in the office area, where the study tour led people to the living room and sat down. The staff served tea. The tour poem first introduced the situation of the shipyard to several leaders, and first let them go. Design Office The design office is on the fourth and fifth floors of the building, which is relatively quiet. As soon as you enter the design office, the first thing that comes into people¡¯s eyes is several beautiful and elegant cruiser models placed on the table. These are models of several of our own mountain-class battleships. What people know about them is real and no longer just data on paper. Those little things next to it are those submarines. What several bosses are now designing is a new generation of warships, which is a 10,000-ton battleship. In the future, it will be the era of giant ships and cannons. Li Zhenhua¡¯s request for them is to be able to compete with Britain, France and other countries. The warships that compete with each other. The current warships are still on paper. According to their introduction, the new warship's cannon caliber should reach the level of the current "Zhenyuan", its range should reach 18,000 meters, and its speed should reach 26 knots. It is said that the main armor of the new ship should reach 250 to 300 mm to protect itself. On the desks of several designers are the latest battleship information from various countries. The British, French, German, American and Russian ones are very familiar with the xng capabilities of their battleships. Qiao Delu and several American colleagues know it very well. At the same time, they know very well about their own battleships. They also repeatedly revised the ideas and blueprints in an effort to reach the best level. Others don't know this, but Li Zhenhua clearly knows that in the future, British battleships will have cannons of more than 300 millimeters and a displacement of 20,000 tons. However, they haven't appeared yet, so there is no need to worry about designing things. Just use it when it's in production. Besides, those cruisers of ours are powerful, fast, and have first-class protection. Now our battleships are not lagging behind them. The main attack method of the underwater part of the submarine is torpedoes. The people in charge of the underwater part are John Holanton and his assistant Shen Haisheng. Luo Shijun, the manufacturer of China's first underwater machine ship, has now transferred to the submarine force. The commander of the submarine went there, but he continued to put forward various opinions and suggestions on the design and manufacture of the submarine, which was of great help to the underwater work. After all, what an expert said was an expert's personal experience. Others would give their opinions indirectly, but he would sometimes put forward his ideas and plans together. For example, the maximum range of the torpedoes commonly used in the world is more than 800 yards. Now their improved torpedo range has been increased to more than 2,000 yards. The loading capacity of the torpedo has also been increased, which greatly improves the attack power of the torpedo. . The original torpedo only had a speed of ten knots, but the speed of his own torpedoes reached more than twenty knots. They are now sprinting towards a speed of thirty knots. They went to the production area again. What they are producing now is a huge cargo ship with more than 10,000 tons. It has been launched and the superstructure is now being installed. The ship owner who ordered the order is still very satisfied with this cargo ship. Usually it is these civilian cargo ships that support the huge expenses of the shipyard. Without these orders, it would be impossible. Just feeding these tens of thousands of people would be a huge expense.Huge expenses have been incurred, and most of the current orders are from abroad, because the country has digested a large part of the Japanese transport ships. After transformation, they have made a huge contribution to China's shipping industry. There are also warships on the slipway at the military industrial port. It is a new warship produced for the Chileans, with a displacement of 7,000 tons, a main gun caliber of 280 mm, and a speed of 22 knots. This is similar to our own warships. The Chinese are actually doing business with them, which makes them feel from the bottom of their hearts that their money is not wasted. It is not like ordering warships in the UK, although it makes them feel like they have eaten flies, which makes them feel sick from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, there are two submarines that are also exported. They are made for Argentina. These two companies have never dealt with them. They always want to differentiate themselves on the ocean. Since you ordered warships in China, I will order submarines in China. Those Chinese submarines. Submarines also shined in naval battles against the Japanese. There are not many weapons against submarines in the world today that others do not have. Argentina has decided to use Chinese submarines to protect its country's oceans. After seeing this, Sheng Xuanhuai was happy that he could export warships, but the fact that they were using weapons produced by himself against them made Sheng Xuanhuai feel a little uncomfortable, but he did not express it. Leave them alone and let them conduct their own inspection. Which weapon is better? The main thing is that people use it, not just weapons. "The same two samurai have swords in their hands. One wins and the other loses. It's not the sword that matters but the various comprehensive qualities of the person. It's not the sword that wins, but the person that wins. Why don't those people understand? But if one uses a knife and the other uses a musket, that's not a concept. The weapons are definitely the main ones. It seems that people in South American countries think that their own weapons are higher than those of the other party. Who knows that this is the relationship between Mao and Dun. Text Chapter 314 Incendiary Bombs and Illuminating Bombs Text Chapter 314 Incendiary bombs and illumination bombs Chapter 314 Incendiary bombs and illumination bombs Chapter 314 Incendiary bombs and illumination bombs The chief engineers of the arsenal are studying the problem of light machine guns. The original heavy machine guns were very powerful, but they were too heavy to carry and use. Four people are needed to transport it in peacetime, and two people are needed in wartime. Li Zhenhua made a request to people to develop a new continuous-fire weapon suitable for use by individual infantry soldiers. He named it a light machine gun. Its purpose was to serve as infantry support firepower at the squad level. Now the prototype gun has been released. Li Zhenhua's intention was to use them to deal with the Russian army in the Northeast. There is also an assault rifle, Li Zhenhua, which is designed based on the modern ak47. It is used as an individual weapon. This weapon Li Zhenhua was designed to be used during World War I. In later European battlefields, those weapons were called The cruel and ruthless battle of the "Winch" requires the emergence of an efficient infantry weapon. After Sheng Xuanhuai arrived, those people took out a prototype of a light machine gun for Sheng Xuanhuai to see. Although Sheng Xuanhuai was mainly responsible for economic work now, he had done it with real swords and guns in the Huai Army. He had returned to the northwest to pacify the army. During the rebellion, he personally went into battle. Later, among Li Hongzhang's staff, he was the rear food station, that is, the logistics work of the army. He was no stranger to weapons. There are two ways to feed this machine gun. One is the ammunition supply. Clip-fed ammunition and the third method are belt-fed ammunition. I saw the light machine gun placed on the ground. Sheng Xuanhuai stepped forward and took a closer look at the two brackets in front. It was heavier than an ordinary rifle, but it was much lighter than the heavy machine gun. He admired this designer very much in his heart. He didn't know that this was actually Li Zhenhua's design. He asked them to practice it. Then a whistle sounded. Three hundred meters ahead, several humanoid targets made of iron plates appeared. The upper body was exposed on the ground. The two test gunners on one side immediately fell to the ground. A commander next to him looked at Sheng Xuanhuai. Sheng Xuanhuai nodded and signaled that it was okay to start. The commander immediately ordered: "Shock". A person pulled the trigger and appeared from the muzzle of the gun. The flames heard a "click, click, click" sound, and a string of bullets shot out. The human-shaped target made of iron plates in the distance made a "dang, dang, dang," sound. OK. But he felt that it was still a little heavier. The current weight was about forty kilograms, which was even heavier when the bullets were included. A strong warrior carrying it can only jog instead of charging. He discussed his thoughts with Huang Jianxin and Huang Jianxin agreed with him and said that he was currently undergoing a redesign to reduce the weight as soon as possible. At the same time, Huang Jianxin also told Sheng Xuanhuai that their mortars now have new varieties, that is, they were originally only used to kill enemies, but now they have new functions, that is, they have produced illumination bombs and incendiary bombs. Sheng Xuanhuai was very interested when he heard that. If there was such a thing, it would be very effective against the enemy on the battlefield. Think about it, you can't see anything in the dark night. Suddenly, a flare appeared above the enemy. Everything about the enemy. It would be much better if people knew about it and then I could attack or defend them. The incendiary bombs are even better. If you want to set fire to the enemy, you don't have to set off rockets at them anymore. You can just fire an incendiary bomb at the enemy. The enemy's area will be on fire. They will already be on fire before you hit them. . Sheng Xuanhuai was about to see the actual performance, so he immediately brought three incendiary bombs and three illumination bombs. Sheng Xuanhuai saw the actual effect and greatly appreciated the cannonball Ping meeting. A fire immediately burned in the distance. A firewood shed used as a target soon It caught fire and the effect of the flare would be better if viewed at night. He immediately decided to watch it again at night. He asked Huang Jianxin to produce more of these shells for future use against the Russian army. Huang Jianxin also said that they are trial-producing an 80mm mortar. There are still some problems that have not been solved, but it will be done soon. Sheng Xuanhuai immediately encouraged them to come up with something as soon as possible. Sheng Xuanhuai knew that if there was such a killing machine now, If the enemy's sharp weapon is used, the soldiers at the front will have to pay less sacrifices. Sheng Xuanhuai went to the Wright Brothers again. Wilbur Wright: Orville and Wright were usually responsible for producing bicycles, but their hobby was to build aircraft. Li Zhenhua specially gave them some tips, which greatly improved their exploration of aircraft. Taking a step forward, the two brothers turned out to be working on a steam engine-powered aircraft. Li Zhenhua did not say no to them, but just suggested that they use an internal combustion engine as a powered aircraft. The Wright brothers thought it was very good, so they began to directly conduct research on internal combustion engines. At first, they built a 12-horsepower engine, but the power was insufficient. They redesigned it to 75-horsepower. Li Zhenhua suggested that they increase the engine size. At the same time, the wing is made into a double layer except for the main structure, which is made of steel.?It was all made of wood, and then a layer of cloth was put on it. This increased the buoyancy of the aircraft itself. They canceled the chain drive propeller and replaced it with a direct drive tailplane and changed it to a movable one. So they redesigned it and finally made it movable. The second type of aircraft was built. At this time, the aircraft has gone through a qualitative leap. The aircraft during World War I were basically like this. The fastest development of aircraft was during World War II. Such a prototype was formed. Those flight technicians will make greater progress based on it. of improvement. The plane parked in the hangar. Sheng Xuanhuai looked around it for a while. Then Sheng Xuanhuai asked: "How about it, can it go to heaven now?" They replied: "It's ready. How about you take a look at it now?" Sheng Xuanhuai looked at it. Tian Tian felt it was a little late, so he said to them: "Get ready tomorrow and be sure to pay attention to safety." "Okay, we have flown many times." Sheng Xuanhuai left their design office. Sheng Xuanhuai was thinking about himself and After Li Zhenhua got together, he found that he couldn't keep up with many of Li Zhenhua's ideas. Some of them were simply not up to date. If the officials of the Qing government saw it, they would definitely talk nonsense, but every one of his ideas was It is of great benefit to the country and the people. You see, once this aircraft takes to the sky, it will not only be indispensable for military purposes, but also for civilian use in the future. In the evening, they returned to the hotel. Tang Jiong was already here. It turned out that they called Tang Jiong before departure and asked him to come over. He immediately put aside his work and came. He also happened to have something to discuss with a few of them. Text Chapter 315 Political Trends Text Chapter 315 Political Trend Chapter 315 Political Trend Chapter 315 Political Trend In the evening, Sheng Xuanhuai and the others returned to the hotel. Tang Jiong was already here. It turned out that they gave Tang Jiong a call before departure and asked him to come over. He immediately put it down. When his work came, he happened to have something to discuss with a few of them. After the few people met, they immediately got down to business without any nonsense. They first exchanged information about various aspects of work, asked questions about the military aspect, and also learned about the economic aspect. Then they mainly talked about political matters. At this point, Zhao Hongyan and the others withdrew. They did not divide the work to take care of this. They were tired and had to rest. Once the women left, only Sheng Xuanhuai and Tang Jiong were left to talk about the future political direction. Regarding the guerrillas in Annan and other places, they are now continuing to support the local governments established by themselves to fight against the British and French, consuming their strength, further expanding their strength and territory, and containing their power in the colonies. Regarding the Philippines, like Annan and other places, the Spanish were driven away. Liu Yongfu was in charge there. Now Americans cannot enter. The locals and Chinese have taken control of the situation there. The locals have some original nobles, but all The economic lifeline is in the hands of the Chinese. Overseas Chinese have already occupied the place for the Chinese, and no outsiders can take it away. If Li Zhenhua can take control of China's highest authority in the future, then this will be a piece of land in China. It can be said that there are no problems in Indonesia. The situation is completely controlled by its own people. Moreover, the military strength and economic strength there are now very stable. In addition, with the stable government institutions, no one can overturn the situation. The locals have already taken control. Without the Chinese and overseas Chinese, they can't even eat. They can't afford external forces, and they don't care for the moment that the so-called "Lanfang Republic" there is a purely Chinese thing that no one can change. The same is true for other Southeast Asian regions. They have accumulated the power to take control of those places as long as there is an opportunity. These measures taken by Li Zhenhua in Southeast Asia are all correct, and there is no need to change them now. They can just continue to implement them as they are, but each department is gradually expanding its own strength to provide as much funds as possible to the headquarters of Xinghua Group. The set of policies currently implemented by Li Zhenhua are incompatible with the Qing government. Sooner or later, Mao Dun will break out, so various preparations must be made in advance. As for the two of them, they are absolutely unwilling to wait for others to chop off their heads. Then you must think of ways to deal with them in advance and protect yourself at the same time. Before Sheng Xuanhuai and Tang Jiong came together with Li Zhenhua, they were very dissatisfied with the corruption and backwardness of the Qing government. However, they were unable to change all this. Now that they have come together with Li Zhenhua, they believe that the current Qing Dynasty can only It is a stumbling block for Li Zhenhua's future governance. If we want to make China strong and prosperous according to Li Zhenhua's wishes and make the Chinese people truly prosperous, this stumbling block must be kicked away and cannot be allowed to continue to be there. Now that he has a very strong army, if he directly confronts the Manchu and Qing armies, he will definitely be able to defeat them. The two strengths are not at the same level at all. But Li Zhenhua means to avoid civil war as much as possible because his country is too If we are poor and fight again, the foreign enemies will definitely gain profits. If not, they will send troops to intervene, which will be bad. The unlucky ones are the ordinary people. As the saying goes, "the people will suffer, the people will suffer, the people will suffer." Li Zhenhua is We absolutely do not want to make life miserable for the common people. If the fight doesn¡¯t work directly, then they should think of a safer way. The two of them also want to use the Mao Dun of the Manchu nobles and the Han people to proceed. There are also many Mao Duns in the court. Li Hongzhang has been promoted to the military department because of his disadvantages in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894. He has been promoted to the Military Aircraft Department and has gone to the Governor-General of Zhili. He has been replaced by Ronglu. Although he is a capable man among the Manchus, he is a typical example. of the old school. He has always been opposed to new things. The only thing he supports is the reform of the New Army, because this is an area that is beneficial to him. This army is in Tianjin. Of course, he is first-come-first-served, so he has always supported Li Zhenhua. Of course, others can't guess what his inner thoughts are. As soon as Ronglu took office, he handed over the Tianjin Machinery Bureau to Li Zhenhua. He believed that no one among his subordinates could compare with Li Zhenhua. That is an ending that can only be a burden for oneself without creating any value for oneself. It is better to give it to him. Li Hongzhang gave Jiangning and Jiangnan Machinery Bureau to Li Zhenhua, but he took advantage of the boss. But judging from the current situation, it is estimated that he should be a little afraid. Li Zhenhua thinks that Li Zhenhua is now a celebrity of the emperor and the queen mother. And since Li Zhenhua has military power, he does not dare to ask Li Zhenhua for anything within the direct jurisdiction. Li Zhenhua sent troopsThat's all. The people below are not satisfied with the Qing government, so they have to take advantage of it. Anyway, they are trying to find a way to defeat the Qing government. I think Li Zhenhua will not object to it. Even though Li Zhenhua didn't say anything to the Qing government on the surface, he is very serious about the Qing government. He never catches a cold. No matter how great his victory is, he will not take the initiative to report to the court. Others will report to the court. He has 100% final say over his own army. It is simply impossible for others to command Li Zhenhua's troops. His army has never bullied the people. The officials appointed have not been corrupt or bribed. These are all based on the roots of the original government. Different. The common people admire Li Zhenhua. He is a hero who resists foreign aggression. He is a wholehearted and dedicated leader in economic development at home. He has built a large number of railways, factories, and mines and worked hard to improve people's lives. The people will definitely support Li Zhenhua. Who among the soldiers doesn't admire him? Nowadays, people have heard more and seen more in newspapers. Li Zhenhua has built so many schools and hospitals. The students have been exposed to a lot of new knowledge. They are absolutely dissatisfied with the current situation in China. They see that the lives of people in so many powerful countries in the world are much better than before, and they are not willing to let this continue. With the improvement of people's cultural level, people's quality is also improving. Now it is far from being "the people are not yet enlightened" as the senior officials of the Qing government said. They have gradually freed themselves from the original ignorance. New scientific knowledge is taking root in people's hearts. At the same time, they are also beginning to They are concerned about the fate of the country and are also working hard to improve their own living conditions. Since ancient times, China has had the ancient saying: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country." Faced with the power of Western countries, they also eagerly hope that their country will become stronger. Those who are really dissatisfied with Li Zhenhua are some people with actual interests in the former Manchu government, some princes, relatives of the emperor, and those bannermen who do not work all day but have income. However, their proportion is too small, and there are some There are some old bureaucrats who are in power now. They have high incomes. If they change the dynasty, they will lose their current good life. Then they may have a dispute with the group headed by Li Zhenhua. That's okay. They don't represent the interests of the entire nation. They will be in the future. He will definitely not gain the upper hand in the struggle. After Sheng Xuanhuai and Tang Jiong analyzed the current situation, they felt that they should take advantage of the current increase in people's consciousness to further improve the people's consciousness and let them form a new understanding of the Qing government, which means they began to oppose the Manchu government. profit.

Anyway, he is on the front line of the struggle against the enemy in the west and is fighting bloody battles for the country. If you continue to say that he has something to do in the country, it won't work. What can anyone do if they know it was him? . The ultimate goal in the future is to use powerful political, military and economic power to overthrow the Qing government. Sheng Xuanhuai and Tang Jiong knew that Li Zhenhua could be said to be very capable on the battlefield against the enemy, but in the political struggle against the Qing government, his experience was somewhat insufficient, so subordinates like themselves had to shoulder more burdens for their superiors. Do some specific work. They felt that simply staying in the south was not enough, and they had to go to the north to work under the feet of the Qing government to better understand the situation. At the same time, they could also use the differences between them to work to divide and disintegrate some bureaucrats. Sheng Xuanhuai and Tang Jiong analyzed the situation with Wang Xin, and he planned to go to Beijing to use some connections and his own intelligence connections in Beijing to carry out activities. After discussion, they decided to let Sheng Xuanhuai go to Beijing while Tang Jiong continued in the south. Wang Xinze went to Kunming to see his and Yaqi's two children and then took the children to Shanghai together. Sheng Xuanhuai told her that she must take good care of her health. Wang Xin believed that with the care and attention of medical staff and sufficient security, there was no problem with her body. At the same time, she still wanted to go to Kunming to see that her grandfather Wang Chi was in good health and he would not die early. The next day Sheng Xuanhuai arrived at the Wright Brothers' factory early as agreed. They had already rolled out the aircraft. The double-layered wings were shining brightly in the sun. After the two brothers greeted Sheng Xuanhuai, they let the two test pilots board. Got on the plane (Li Zhenhua had strict orders here that did not allow the two brothers to conduct test flights. The two of them had fought, but Li Zhenhua was very easy to talk to on other issues. This is the issue. Li Zhenhua firmly disagreed with their test flights. This is one thing that must be guaranteed. The safety of the two brothers.) After starting the motor, the engine roared happily and the fan in front started to fly. The test pilot released the brake and the aircraft slid forward. After a while, the nose of the aircraft tilted upward and the aircraft had left the ground. The aircraft was in the air. Flying Sheng Xuanhuai took a telescope and carefully watched all its flight movements. All of this will be reported to Li Zhenhua later. The plane flies high in the sky. Sometimes it hovered, sometimes it rolled in the air, or it flew down to the ground. It stayed in the air for more than half an hour before coming down. After coming down, Sheng Xuanhuai, the test pilot and the Wright brothers discussed that the flight time could be maintained in the air for half an hour, and the maximum speed could be more than 600 meters. The speed was about 200 kilometers per hour. In other words, they could fly more than 100 kilometers with one refueling. . The above figures are approximate because there are no special mn instruments to measure it yet. This is the earliest aircraft in the world and it can carry one hundred kilograms of bombs. Sheng Xuanhuai immediately found Zhao Hongyan and talked to her. They also decided to let the two brothers go back to the United States to apply for an aircraft patent to protect their products, purchase some necessary equipment, and let the remaining one Immediately cancel all the bicycle factory work and assign others to take over the work. But he is responsible for the establishment of the aircraft factory. Fangcheng Mayor Zhao Hongyan will take the lead in organizing and coordinating all factories, and they can allocate manpower, equipment, and funds at their will. Because Li Zhenhua said that all work must focus on aircraft. Firstly, it is the needs of the military, and secondly, aircraft will definitely be a profitable industry in the future. As a time traveler, doesn¡¯t Li Zhenhua know? Then Sheng Xuanhuai asked the two brothers to centrally store the design drawings, calculation papers and all related things. At the same time, security troops were sent to protect the two of them and all the prototypes they produced were put into a warehouse. Go and send troops to protect. No unrelated personnel can have access to these things anymore. Sheng Xuanhuai also gave the two of them some confidentiality education. Of course, Sheng Xuanhuai definitely told them that this was a safety measure for them. The two of them also agreed that they knew that they just moved their hands. In fact, it was not all that the aircraft could be successfully trial-produced. It would have been impossible to take credit for the big boss's efforts if he didn't give me some help. Therefore, the two of them had no intention of taking any credit. An aircraft research institute was immediately established to conduct research and improvement of aircraft, and then a flight school was established. The purpose of manufacturing one's own was not to park them in a hangar, but to be used for war or transportation, so some people were required to do so. If they can master and use it, we must train a large number of pilot students from now on so that they can master the flying technology as soon as possible so that they can be used in war as soon as possible.??. Soon the first batch of trainees recruited from various places arrived in Fangcheng. These trainees all had certain cultural knowledge. This was a high-tech branch. The aircraft at this time were very simple and could only be used for simple operations. They were not like modern aircraft. That would be much more complicated. Just the theory of flight was not easy to master. Soon they entered the actual flight. This group of 200 student pilots will soon be able to master flying skills. Next, they began to study some tactical issues, how to attack the enemy, and how to cooperate with the infantry to fight. The current aircraft does not even have a machine gun on it, but the technicians of the aircraft have already After seeing this problem, they have already started to improve it. Li Zhenhua has long told them that in the future, machine guns and cannons will be added to the aircraft to increase its firepower. Now, others have not used aircraft to fight. There is no need to worry about those things, but you have to get them out first. It will be too late when others have them. Sheng Xuanhuai is going to Beijing. This time, Feng Yiqing is going with him. With Feng Yiqing's support and help, he should be fearless. Feng Yiqing, the biggest spy chief under Li Zhenhua, is very concerned about the situation in Beijing and other places. That is very familiar. There are nearly hundreds of intelligence personnel in Beijing alone scattered on various fronts. In addition, they also have a special operations team in the capital, which is a special operations team designed to deal with emergencies. If the security personnel at the southwest power plant have an emergency call, they can call the combatants directly from there. Use newspapers to spread more publicity to the people and expose the phenomena of some Qing officials. Criticize some of the government's inactions and muddy the waters in domestic public opinion. Even if there is something going on, they can't find Li Zhenhua. Anyway, he is now fighting the enemy in the west. The frontline of the struggle is fighting bloody battles for the country. If you continue to say that he has something to do in the country, it will not work. What can anyone do if they know that he did it? .

Text Chapter 317 "Black pot" professional households Text Chapter 317 "Black Pot" Professional Household Chapter 317 "Black Pot" Professional Household Chapter 317 "Black Pot" Professional Household After arriving in Beijing, local intelligence personnel immediately reported to them the recent trends related to the Qing government. Chapter) The current battles in the court are very serious. If the original situation was now the most difficult time for the Qing government, because of the failure of the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing government had to pay reparations and cede territory to Japan. Now, although there is no need to pay reparations and cede territory, people are still concerned about the war. The problem is still quarreling. The reason is that the Qing government spent a lot of money. However, in the entire war, except for the navy, which was better, the entire army did not have a decent battle. Almost all of them were defeated. If it weren't for Li Zhenhua's SI security team, The situation in China is unimaginable. Therefore, when everyone is together, they should hold each other accountable. Zhang said that Li Bu and luggage said that Zhang was wrong. Li Hongzhang was the target of attack because the entire battlefield was fought on the ground in Beiyang. Whether it was the army or the navy, it was all in vain. g wasted the court's money. Li Hongzhang has now become the target of public criticism, but he has long been mentally prepared for this situation because Li Zhenhua had analyzed it with him before the war, but there was nothing he could do if the war ended like this. He knew that even if he was not good, he could not Not afraid because he knows how problems arise. He had already said it before, but the imperial court took away a large amount of his naval military expenditures because of the garden construction. His Beiyang Navy has not added another warship in eight years. Those cannons have already fallen behind and must be replaced with new ones. Because the court could not squeeze out money, it has not been replaced. His hand was dotted with d, and he used the army's military expenditures to patch the navy and maintain its basic operations. Li Hongzhang is now a professional "blame scapegoat". Any matter in the court that needs to be scapegoated is all his. But he can't say these reasons now. He can only take care of the court's face like his son-in-law Zhang Peilun and take care of everything himself. And if Li Hongzhang takes the blame, we can't deal with him. His reputation has been ruined. It would be too unkind to deal with him again. So no matter how the two women attack Li Hongzhang, they are still fighting. Haha, they can't deal with him anyway. Of course, Li Zhenhua is among them. The face is there. But as Xu Gengshen, the Minister of the Ministry of War, he knew this very well. He also knew the situation, the princes, and so on. Emperor Guangxu and the Queen Mother also knew very well that Li Hongzhang had taken many tricks to deal with the Japanese, but he had never given him anything. Now that the war is not going well, it cannot be all his fault, so even though many people are attacking Li Hongzhang, the two women did not deal with Li Hongzhang in any way. Xu Gengshen felt that he could not betray his conscience, so he stood up and said: "Everyone knows about the situation of this war, but after all, we did not fail in this war against Japan but won. Of course, the prince-in-law made great contributions in this." However, the navy has also demonstrated our prestige at sea. Most of the officers and soldiers of the navy are able to fight the enemy bravely. On the army side, Nie Shicheng has also been working hard to fight the Japanese. This is mainly because their weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japanese. We have lost the battle and now have regained our territory. Japan has surrendered and our troops have withdrawn from Korea. Now there is no need to continue arguing about this issue." Xu Gengshen's words made some people stop arguing. The Queen Mother and the Emperor basically agreed that they could no longer argue. No matter how much the argument continues, there will be no results. Now, some reformers are constantly encouraging the emperor to carry out reform reforms so that the emperor can rule the country as soon as possible. As the young and vigorous Emperor Guangxu has a good impression of them, plus The master who fell in love with me kept blowing wind in his ears every day, and he agreed to carry out the reform. Emperor Guangxu himself also saw that the prince-in-law was also a model of the reformers, but Li Zhenhua was not very enthusiastic about the reformers. In addition, Master Weng and Li Zhenhua could not talk about each other at all, which was what he did not want to see. . Since the two of them can't sit together, they can't force it, so let's do it like this for now. The Qing government was so efficient that they had a quarrel in the court and then let it go. What else can such a government do? Li Zhenhua and his desert-trained troops have been heading west. They also picked up some scattered Russian troops on the way. Now they have arrived in the territory that originally belonged to Persia. Li Zhenhua knows the situation of future generations. There are huge oil reserves below here. Now if It is obviously impossible to occupy this place with just one's own manpower. That is to use the people here to carry out necessary control and then establish a country that is completely friendly to China or a puppet regime that can be controlled by oneself. Can. Some small tribes are still friendly to China, but the situation was different before. Although they are grateful that their army can attack the Russians, they still haveNow Li Zhenhua, who rejects his own army, does not plan to continue advancing because his logistics supply line is already too long. It will be very difficult for him to advance in the future. So he was thinking about how to control Persia, the weak boss, in his own hands in the future. By the time of World War I, he could truly control the Persian Empire in his own hands. Seeing that the soldiers were a little tired after a long march, he decided to take a rest first and then decide how to proceed next. So he ordered the troops to stop advancing and rest while he went around to take a look at the terrain. Li Zhenhua asked a dozen guards to accompany him to the nearby area to see and hunt some game so that the soldiers could improve their lives. Are there really coincidences in the world? But after carefully studying the history of Persia, I found that it is really full of surprises. The Qajar dynasty that ruled Persia at the end of the 19th century and the Qing dynasty at the same time were almost carved from the same mold. It also belongs to an ancient civilization dominated by foreign races (the Kajar people are originally Turks who nomadically live on the Turkmen grasslands. In terms of ethnic origin, they are close relatives of the Azerbaijani Turks, etc. and have nothing to do with the Persians who belong to the Aryan race). They were all bombarded by European powers with gunboats. They also lost their traditional vassals and key islands (Afghanistan and Bahrain). They also experienced a large-scale attack by domestic alternative religious forces (the Babu uprising). An unsuccessful reform within the system (the reformists finally went to the execution ground). At the beginning of the 20th century, it also faced the fate of being partitioned (with Tsarist Russia in the north and the British Empire in the south). Text Chapter 318: Traveling Eastwards to Learn the Scriptures Text Chapter 318: Learn the scriptures and go eastward Chapter 318: Learn the scriptures and go eastward Chapter 318: Learn the scriptures and go eastward When times are difficult and the country is in danger, it is natural to find a way out. At this time, Persia, the Qing Dynasty, and even everyone in Asia hope to find a way out. It is a critical year for all ancient countries. In this year, due to the emergence of Li Zhenhua, China defeated Japan, which was becoming increasingly powerful, and Tsarist Russia, which seemed invincible at the time. This has had a huge impact on other Eastern and Western countries. This is also one of the classic propositions that many people who disapprove of violence like YY in the future. Of course, this is all off-topic. Looking back now, the Persian Empire has relatively smoothly embarked on the road to constitution. This is inseparable from the environmental climate at that time and the international ideological impact after the Sino-Japanese and Russian wars. At this time, the Persian Empire's constitutionalists received support from the British. On the other hand, the situation in the DPRK had just reached a watershed. The old king was old and the crown prince was preparing to succeed the crown prince. The biggest opponent was the old prime minister who belonged to the conservative faction. The crown prince who ascends to the throne naturally gets closer to the constitutionalists who are the opposite of the prime minister. There are struggles both internally and externally. This is the same situation as the Qing Dynasty. The old king who is at this time naturally has to consider how to continue his dynasty in order to leave a complete country to his descendants for generations. Therefore, the introduction of the third force and the introduction of Advanced foreign experience has become a top priority. The emperor put the matter on the agenda. The Americans were invited to assist in Persian finance and the new army's financial gendarmerie was established with Swedes as instructors to distinguish it from the Cossack divisions trained by Russia and the South Persian infantry trained by the British. However, none of these have reached their ideals. They originally wanted to learn from Japan, but Japan was defeated by the huge Qing Empire. They carefully analyzed and found that the most critical figure is Li Zhenhua, who is currently being promoted. After careful analysis After studying Li Zhenhua, they decided to rescue the old king with this man. He had a magic weapon, which was the "political marriage" that the Chinese would use. You Chinese can use it, so can I, and my daughter is also a beautiful flower. And they also heard that the Chinese prince-in-law is now in Xinjiang, so the old king sent his son and daughter to China to prepare for him. Make a "marriage" and enlist his help to truly reverse the current critical situation. But the British and Russians are both veterans. They are too experienced in occupying foreign colonies. How can they allow the Persians to become stronger on their own? They join forces to intervene and prepare to force the Americans away to gain greater benefits. Recently, they have heard that After saying that the Persian Empire was going to the police station and that their two highnesses were going to China, they immediately started taking action. The envoy sent by the old king to China was on the way. He didn't know that there was only one road that Britain and Russia did not allow them to take. The same road was a death journey full of dangers. If it weren't for their chance encounter, they would have been there. Missing in this world. The princess of the Persian Empire, Avna Abir, and her brother Kedelha have been heading eastward in the northern region of Persia for more than twenty days. This time, their brother and sister's mission was to go to a distant place together under the orders of their father. Eastern China went to look for help that could make their country stronger and gain their experience. The Persian Empire in front of them was already in a very difficult situation. There was invasion from the Russians in the north and the British were eyeing it in the south. According to the situation I know, the original situation of the Qing Dynasty in the east is similar to my own. There is a threat from Japan in the east, Russian soldiers are pressing down on the border in the north, and some European powers are eyeing them in the south. However, through their own efforts, they have conquered the threats from the east. After several battles, the threat was eliminated. They defeated Japan, which wanted to eat them. First they destroyed the arrogant navy on the sea, and then they destroyed their tens of thousands of troops. They fully demonstrated their abilities. I heard that there was a great figure in their country. His name was Li Zhenhua. Their purpose was to find the Emperor of China and ask him to ask him about the national hero who defeated the Japanese. How can we ourselves be like them? As long as your country becomes stronger, it will be enough to resist the enemies from the north and the south from abroad. Now I don't dare to think about annihilating them all. However, since they were already being targeted as soon as they set off, they were constantly intercepted by some people along the way. Now, their brother Kedelha has been seriously injured and can no longer continue to China. He must find a way to send him away. After going back, the brother and sister went back together according to Kedelha's opinion. However, Avna Abir, who was deeply worried about her country, said to her brother: "Go back by yourself. I must go to the east to find it." The emperor of China went to the mysterious Chinese to ask for his help in the Persian Empire so that he could point out a clear path for his country. If he returned to his country like this, he would still be threatened by enemies from both sides as before. 1??Your country will perish. " Avna? Abil actually has another idea. She didn't tell her brother that her father once said that she would marry her to the Chinese consort. She became very interested in that person. She knew that her destiny was to be born in an imperial family. As a girl, she could only have a political marriage that she was not satisfied with. Now that she was out, she had to see with her own eyes that the road ahead was not smooth for them. The accompanying guards were intercepted by the Russian army and lost nearly half of their men. My brother was also injured during the breakout. Those who were injured in this ice and snow could no longer march for such a long distance. But Avna Ai had no choice but to go back. But Bill was unwilling to go back. She wanted to continue to the east because she had a dream of her own. She said to her brother: "You can lead some people back. I only need to lead a dozen people. There are fewer people and the target is small, so it will not be easy to be defeated." The Russian Cossack cavalry found that I must complete the mission assigned by my father. "Kedelha couldn't hold her back, so he had to let her lead more than a hundred people to continue walking and return to Tehran. No one expected that they would be intercepted by the Russian army soon after they left. Someone among their captive soldiers tipped off the Russian army that Avna Abil was still continuing to move toward the east. This prompted Alyosha Sergeyevich Ivan, the deputy commander of the Russian army in Persia, to pursue them. Nov was very unhappy, but he knew that Avna Abir was the most beautiful flower in the Persian Empire, and he was determined to catch up with her and take possession of her, so the Russian army continued to pursue them and his brother Kedelha. After the breakup, Avna Abir disguised herself as a man so that it would be more convenient on the road. Although it was somewhat inconsistent with Persian customs and habits, women were not allowed to appear in public and had to wear a veil. However, for the sake of their own country and interests, they only had to wear a veil. Fortunately, the guards were all loyal to the royal family and they wouldn't say anything. Text Chapter 319: Attacked Text Chapter 319 Encountered an Attack Chapter 319 Encountered an Attack Chapter 319 Encountered an Attack As the team moved forward, they encountered another Persian caravan. Avna? Abir asked her men to go over and understand the situation ahead of them. When the team members saw that they were from their own country, they introduced them to the recent situation. The Russian army stationed in Kazakhstan had been completely defeated by the Chinese. Most of them were captured and only a few people escaped back to their country. Chapter) Now I heard that a small squadron of theirs is coming to the west. I don¡¯t know what they are going to do. After hearing the news, Avna Abil had a beautiful wish in her heart, that is, to be able to see this squadron and let them help her. Go to China to find the Emperor of China and the legendary General Li Zhenhua. But things are always different from what they expected. They had just separated from the caravan. A cavalry unit responsible for intercepting them caught up with them. A guard hurriedly reported to her: "There is a Cossack cavalry unit behind Her Royal Highness. They are catching up. They have What should we do if there are more than 200 people and it seems that they will not let us go?" Avna Abil looked at her men, who now numbered more than 100, and they were all very tired. It was obviously not possible to fight them. Wisely, her guard captain said to her: "Your Highness, please go and I will stop them. You must restore the honor of our Persian Empire. Goodbye, Your Highness." So under the leadership of the guard captain, some of them turned around and rushed towards the Russian army. The cavalry fought with them, and some of the guards stayed behind to cover the escape of Her Royal Highness at their own expense. Avna Abir looked at her loyal soldiers and rushed toward the east with more than a dozen people. Li Zhenhua, Sun Feihu and two soldiers were searching for some small animals, but they didn't find anything due to the heavy snow, so they dispersed and walked farther away. Suddenly, gunshots were heard in the distance. The three of them immediately became alert. After all, this was not them. A familiar place. Li Zhenhua raised his binoculars and looked into the distance. In front of him were more than a dozen people galloping on horseback, but behind them there was a group of people chasing them. The people in front couldn't tell who they were, but the people behind could tell at a glance that they were. Russian Cossack cavalry. The people in front quickly split into two parts. They were trying to escape separately. The person running at the back was a young man. He asked his people to continue running forward, but he and two people ran towards Li Zhenhua and the others. The one behind them was The pursuers also divided into two parts and continued to pursue them, but there were fewer people coming this way, only about twenty cavalry. Li Zhenhua saw that since he was the enemy of his own enemy, he had to help him. He took out his pistol and saw that the other soldiers had already held their guns in their hands. His horse was also lying beside him. The white s is very well concealed here, and there is no need for anyone to camouflage it. The person in front was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the person behind fell off his horse. The two people in front were about to turn around, but the person shouted loudly in Persian, meaning to let them continue running forward. The two people saw what happened. In an emergency, they continued to run forward. Li Zhenhua said to Sun Feihu: "You go and lure them away and I will rescue them." Sun Feihu hesitated but still obeyed the order and rode on his black horse. He said to Li Zhenhua: "Be careful" and then he hit the horse and ran away into the distance. He casually For those who were pursuing the soldiers, they fired two shots at a time. A Russian cavalry fell off the horse and those people immediately caught up with them as soon as they saw it. But there were still four or five cavalrymen searching here. Li Zhenhua lay there without moving. He was waiting for them to come over. They were on horseback and he was already at a disadvantage underground. If he was not careful, he would not be able to do it. But he was still confident about dealing with these people. Several Russian soldiers had already searched for them. They had already put their guns on their backs. When he got behind him, he took the saber in his hand and walked slowly towards the man lying on the ground. In front of the man, a cavalryman got off his horse. He walked to the man's side, looked down, and said something to the other people. The other people gathered around him. The cavalryman kicked the man on the ground. The man snorted and woke up. He raised his gun and was about to kill him. The cavalrymen laughed loudly, but the gun just went off for a while and there was no bullet left. This was the rub on their lips. Several cavalrymen all dismounted and gathered around here. The man who fell on the ground could only stare at the surrounding Russian soldiers with his eyes. At this time, the gun in Li Zhenhua's hand rang out. The few cavalrymen who were more than twenty meters away had all fallen to the ground before they could react. Li Zhenhua quickly arrived at the man's side and saw that he had passed out again. His white dragon horse also came over. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to carry the man onto his own horse. He was going to find a place to check his wounds and do some simple things. Then I asked him about the situation and he remembered that there was a small hill not far ahead where he could take a temporary rest. The two of them rode to the hill quickly. Li Zhenhua carried the man into the hill. He asked his soldier to guard and follow him.There was a candle lit in the cave. At a glance, he saw that the man's calf was injured. He immediately took out his knife and opened a cut on his leg. When he saw it, he felt relieved. The grazing bullet passed through there, but there was a lot of blood. Fortunately, it didn't hit the arteries or bones, otherwise it would have been hard to say. He took off the first aid kit from his body. He was about to clean the man's wound, but the pain in his leg made the man wake up. When he saw that someone had torn his breasts open, he touched a stone in desperation. Li Zhenhua was about to clean his wounds when he heard the wind and turned his head, and the stone had already hit his shoulder. Li Zhenhua rolled his gun, pointed it at the other person, and shouted: "Stop." The man had already sat up from the ground and saw the bandage in the other person's hand. Only then did he realize that they were not trying to do anything to him, but were trying to help him. He was immediately stunned when the wound was being treated. Li Zhenhua pointed at his wound and said to him in English: "Your injury needs to be treated or it may be dangerous." "Who are you?" He also used English. "Chinese." Li Zhenhua said to him as soon as he saw that he could speak. "Did you save me?" His language immediately changed to Chinese again. "Why are you here?" "We are the Chinese army here to fight the Russians who have occupied our land. Since you are the enemies of our enemies, we should be friends, so I saved You." "You, China, have become stronger now and you have defeated your own powerful enemies." Text Chapter 320 The Pervert and the Princess Text Chapter 320 Wolf and Princess Chapter 320 Wolf and Princess Chapter 320 Wolf and Princess Li Zhenhua was immediately surprised: "Who are you? How do you know?" "I just want to go to China to find it. Your emperor and that General Li Zhenhua Li. Chapter)" "If they are not interested in the emperor Li Zhenhua, they have to ask him what he means: "What are you looking for General Li?" Seeing Li Zhenhua's young face? And she was helping herself, so Avna Abir said to him: "Our Persian Empire, like your Qing Empire, is now oppressed by two powerful empires, the Russians and the British. We are about to We have become their colony and now we have no way to deal with them, but your General Li has a way. We went to him just to ask him to help us." Hearing this, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh, "What can that Li Zhenhua do? The man was obviously unhappy when he heard the lack of respect for Li Zhenhua. "No, you don't know him. He will definitely find a way." "Do you know him?" The man paused and said: "Knowing" This time it was Li Zhenhua's turn to be stunned. He pointed his nose with his finger and said, "You know me? But why don't I know you?" "I, I Hey, are you really General Li?" Li Zhenhua Now I am not stunned but confused. People know me, but I never remember knowing such a Persian. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to cover up and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about your own wounds first." "I'm sorry I hurt you." He lowered his head and whispered. Li Zhenhua ignored him and took out the liquor he brought with him. He used liquor to wash his wounds. The man was shaking in pain and grabbed his clothes tightly with his hands, but he held back and did not scream. Li Zhenhua sprinkled some Yunnan white yolk on the wound on his leg and tied it carefully. He said in his heart that there was no problem and it would be fine in a few days. After treating the wound, Li Zhenhua felt relaxed. His nose smelled some faint aroma emanating from that person. Li Zhenhua secretly said: "What a thing. He came out to fight like a girl." That person because Li Zhenhua, who was sore and sweaty, handed him his towel again and asked him to wipe away the sweat. Li Zhenhua came to the outside of the mountain cave and looked around. It was quiet and there was nothing. It was dark in winter and it had already darkened before he knew it. Then there was a sound from the mountain cave. Li Zhenhua hurried back to the mountain dng. The man in the mountain dng was much better. Seeing that he meant to drink water, he shook his kettle and found that the water inside had frozen on some firewood that someone had picked up in the mountain dng. Li Zhenhua immediately started to light a fire. He took off the helmet on his head. He had nothing else to do but use it as a pot. The fire started, adding some warmth to the mountain. The flames flickered on Li Zhenhua's face as he lay there. The man there spoke: "Are you really General Li?" "Yes. How do you know me?" "I saw it from your newspaper. That's what I just said. Please don't take it off. "Can I not blame you? If I hadn't escaped quickly, I might have been killed by you now." "General, I'm sorry I thought you were a slut." Li Zhenhua heard this. Is there such a thing as saying that you will learn Chinese soon when you are older? Can the word "slut" be used between men? But when I think about the fragrance I just smelled, there is a problem. At this time, Li Zhenhua couldn't say anything else, so he said to him: "Please tell me about your situation." "I am the princess of the Persian Empire, Avna Abir. I came to China just to see you because We know that you led a group of heroic Chinese people to defeat your enemies and defend their country. I came to you to seek your help." Li Zhenhua then realized that this was what happened. He didn't say anything. Listen to her continue. Avna Abir began to talk about how they came here. Faced with the complicated situation in the country, Avna Abir had begun to study China's national conditions, and she also made up her mind to learn Chinese for more than a year. Her Chinese proficiency has improved greatly. If a royal family like her wanted to learn something, wouldn't it be easy? Countless teachers will soon come to help her study. After a period of preparation, they set off. Although they came out secretly, someone had already revealed the matter to the British and Russians as soon as they came out.Since the British were in the south, they were a little powerless to stop them, so the Russians immediately sent out troops to intercept them. If they didn't come back, they would kill them. Now their people don't know what happened to them. Her voice deepened here. At this time, the soldier guarding the entrance of the mountain said to Li Zhenhua: "Commander-in-Chief, listen to the noise outside." Li Zhenhua made a silent gesture to Avna Abil, and then quietly moved outside. Sure enough, there was a horse moving in the distance. The horse that was grazing at the entrance of the mountain also heard the sound. It raised its head and looked into the distance. It looked at it warily and immediately let out a cry of "ßÔßÔ". Suddenly, it was seen that it had rushed out into the darkness like an arrow. Li Zhenhua knew that it had discovered its own person, and Li Zhenhua knew its soul. After a while, his white dragon horse had led more than a dozen war horses to the dng entrance. Sun Feihu shouted anxiously on the horse: "How are you, Commander-in-Chief? Are you okay?" Li Zhenhua laughed: "I'm fine. How are you? ?" He was embarrassed to say that he was being treated as a "slut". At this time, he discovered that there were several Persians among them. It seemed that they were the escorts of Her Royal Highness Princess Avna Abir. Sun Feihu had already arrived: "We are all fine, but one soldier was slightly injured." He still looked at Li Zhenhua up and down for a while before stopping. But his eyes still saw the blood on his hands. Li Zhenhua said hurriedly: "I'm fine, this is the blood on her body." Together they looked warily at the person lying on the ground. Seeing them like this, Li Zhenhua immediately said: "She's okay. She is our friend." At this time, Avna Abir, who had already sat up, said in Chinese: "Yes, we are friends. Our common enemy is the Russians." Li Zhenhua said to Avna Abil: "Yes, we are friends now." As soon as Avna Abil saw those soldiers, she wanted to stand up, but the severe pain in her legs made her scream and fall down again. Li Zhenhua hurriedly supported her while she was on the ground. Avnai Bill said hurriedly: "But your clothes are not the clothes of the Qing Empire. Besides, you don't have that braid on your head. Are you really Chinese?" Text Chapter 321 Avna Abir Text Chapter 321 Avna? Abil Chapter 321 Avna? Abil Chapter 321 Avna? Abil The soldiers of the Sand Eagle Regiment laughed together: "Not only do our troops not wear Qing clothes We also don¡¯t have braids on our clothes.¡± Avna? Abil also laughed. Yes, none of them have braids on their heads. What she knew was that men in the Qing Dynasty had braids on their heads, and the hats on their heads were not what they pictured in her books. This made her suspicious of them again, but what they said was pure. Chinese. The soldiers outside are already preparing dinner. Some of the things are baked. It is really difficult for people with bad teeth to solve. Fortunately, they are young people and everything is easy to solve. Even Avna Abir is eating with gusto. They had been so exhausted for many days that they had not had anything to eat. However, you need to boil those relatively hard foods in soup and they can be eaten very well. Soldiers are not so particular about it. Avna? Abil has nothing to be picky about because everything is fresh. She knows that it can be eaten sometimes. It is not easy to have a full meal. After eating, Avna Abiel's spirit improved a lot, and her impression of Li Zhenhua became more real. In addition, her original mission and the fact that Li Zhenhua saved her, and after she was injured, she asked Li Zhenhua to give it to her. Even after treating her wounds and body, others looked at her and naturally thought of herself as Li Zhenhua's. Chapter d) However, all this is unknown to Li Zhenhua. But Avna Abir, who grew up in the palace, does not care about all this. According to Persian customs, any part of a woman's veiled body cannot be seen by men except her husband. But since her father has decided on her marriage, it doesn't matter. What else can she do? She was very satisfied with finding a young husband. Although she couldn't see it clearly under the light, she had seen his photo many times. Now that he had a living person in front of her, she felt very happy in her heart. In her eyes, Li Zhenhua now has a very tall image. He is young and handsome in appearance. Military and economically, there is a powerful Xinghua Group behind him. Where can he find such a person? She is thinking from the bottom of her heart. Now that she was satisfied, if anyone dared to say something bad about Li Zhenhua, she would probably fight against that person. After a short rest, the soldiers went outside to arrange their campsite. Li Zhenhua also wanted to go out to rest with the soldiers, but Avna Abil said: "General, please sit down. I still have many questions to ask you." Li Zhenhua had no choice but to stop and listen to her question. In fact, Avna Abir didn't have anything new to say. She just said to Li Zhenhua: "Let me see your injury." "What injury?" "I just used "That hit from the stone." Avna Abir's face turned red under the candlelight. It was not a good thing to give her husband the blow as soon as they met. Although Li Zhenhua's shoulder was painful after being hit by her, he couldn't be too coquettish in front of women. He hurriedly said: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry. If you ask a girl to hit her, she will say she's injured and you won't let her go." "Afna Abir asked Li Zhenhua to describe in detail his war with the French, British, Japanese and Russians. Li Zhenhua said in his heart that it would take a long time to talk about those past events. Li Zhenhua said yes. Funa Abil said: "You should rest first. We will have plenty of time to talk later. I have to go check on the vigilance status of the soldiers now. If anything happens, we will talk about it tomorrow. You can rest first." After saying that, Li Zhenhua went to the outside of the mountain to see. After a while, the sentry went to look at the wounded soldier and asked him to keep warm so as not to let frostbite appear on the wound again. He also asked other soldiers to take care of him. He was about to enter his tent to rest. At this time, a sentry said softly to him. : "Commander, there is movement in the distance, it seems to be the sound of horse hooves." Li Zhenhua listened carefully and sure enough, there was a slight sound of horse hooves in the distance. Li Zhenhua said to the soldier: "Pay attention and I will go to the front to take a look." After that, Li Zhenhua quietly said He walked forward silently. After walking for dozens of meters, the sound of the horses' hooves was much clearer, but he had already heard that those horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth. The sound was relatively low and their speed was slower. He knew that this should be One of our own search teams came over. There was a fighting here today. It would be wrong if the troops who stayed at home didn't react at all. Although he thought it was his own troops, Li Zhenhua still did not reveal his traces prematurely. Suddenly, he heard three long and one short howls of wolves. Li Zhenhua laughed. These soldiers still couldn't do it. How could a wolf appear among the horses? What other animal sounds are suitable at this time? But soon other wolves responded in the distance. That's rightIt was his own soldiers who were worried that he would come out to look for him, so he also let out a wolf's cry. Soon a group of soldiers appeared and Li Zhenhua asked softly: "Who?" "It's our commander-in-chief." A voice said. "It's our leader. We found you. We were all anxious to death soon." The soldiers gathered around a man and reported to him: "Liu Dalin, the commander of the third company of the first battalion of the Sand Eagle Regiment, is reporting to you: In accordance with the order of Commander Xu: The army sent ten teams to look for you. I led a squad to protect the leader. "Li Zhenhua said, "Okay, everyone, come here and rest." Li Zhenhua led them back to the temporary rest camp. Soon the soldiers fell asleep. At dawn, the soldiers all got up. They quickly set up their marching tents. Some soldiers had already prepared a simple breakfast. Li Zhenhua and his soldiers were eating breakfast. Suddenly, a soldier who was on guard in the distance ran over on horseback: " We found nearly 200 enemy cavalry heading towards us. "Li Zhenhua immediately said: "How far is it?" "It's about five miles away." "Continue to observe the other soldiers and prepare for battle." Take action immediately. Now Li Zhenhua has less than thirty men and the enemy ratio is one to seven. It is impossible to fight head-on, but it is impossible to let them run away to the original station to find reinforcements. It is also unrealistic. The enemy will arrive soon. What should I do? It is to use the existing conditions to fight the enemy, but as soon as the battle starts, your troops will come over. Text Chapter 322 Cossack Cavalry Text Chapter 322 Cossack Cavalry Chapter 322 Cossack Cavalry Chapter 322 Cossack Cavalry The terrain in front of you is still beneficial to you. A small hill lies in front of you. This is a natural barrier and is detrimental to the enemy's cavalry. If you rely on your own strength, It's still okay to fight the enemy. Liu Dalin's squad also has a heavy machine gun, and his guards are all masters. The soldiers of the Sand Eagle Regiment are also selected masters, so there should be no problem. Li Zhenhua glanced to the left and right. The soldiers had already chosen their positions. Their rifles were already aimed at the enemy's morale. There was nothing to say. The more than two hundred cavalrymen in the distance are running towards here. They are obviously Russian Cossack cavalry. The black cloaks on their bodies are like a black cloud rolling over. Li Zhenhua said to Liu Dalin: "If they sent it themselves, then destroy them." Send someone to take care of Avna and Feihu. Abil told them to hide in the back so they don't come to the front. " Sun Feihu immediately jumped up and went to the back. Sun Feihu's visit was in vain. Avna Abir would not listen to him and had already arrived behind the hill with several of her subordinates. No matter from which angle, she must participate in the battle. If the cavalry meets the cavalry, as long as one party does not actively withdraw from the battle, they will kill each other with swords. Whoever has more people and high morale will be the basis for victory. However, since Li Zhenhua established the cavalry unit, he has not regarded his cavalry as real soldiers. The cavalry only uses them as tools for quick action. If they encounter the enemy's cavalry, they will use the tactics of infantry to fight cavalry and use firepower to destroy the opponent's cavalry. They will never kill each other with them. This is the tactic they are using now. Hand dot d Those Cossack cavalry obviously didn't realize that someone on the opposite side was already staring at them. They were already under the opponent's gun. They were still laughing loudly and they rode over only seven or eighty meters away. Li Zhenhua's gunshot rang out. A cavalryman on the opposite side fell off his horse and startled the cavalrymen who were advancing behind. Why are there still people here? Then the heavy machine guns and the rifles of the soldiers also fired dense bullets at the Russian army. More Cossack cavalry fell off their horses. In this moment, dozens of Cossack cavalry on the opposite side had lost their combat effectiveness. As soon as they saw it, the people hurriedly reined in the horses, circled them, and ran back for a while. Then they slowly stopped under the orders of the officers. A man who looked like an officer raised his binoculars and looked over here. When he saw that Li Zhenhua and the others only had about twenty people, his heart dropped. This small number of troops was really not enough for my plate of small dishes. Then he issued an order to all the cavalry. After reintegrating into formation, they all had sabers in their hands. The command knife in the officer's hand pointed forward, and the Cossack cavalry rushed over again. More than 300 meters away, there was a flat field again. Their horses quickly showed their speed. They thought that their Cossack cavalry was invincible in the world. When the infantry met the cavalry in the plains, they were massacred. Those in front were obviously seeking death, and they were determined to fulfill these people. However, they didn't know what kind of army they were in front of. They were warriors who had been tested in battles. What kind of formations they had. They had never seen the Russian army. They had just been defeated by the French cavalry. They had seen the Japanese cavalry and they were no match. The Cossack cavalry were also defeated by their own men. The distance of three hundred meters is only two minutes for the cavalry. In these two minutes, Li Zhenhua and the others have made all preparations for fighting the enemy cavalry. Several open grenades have been placed in front of each person. The bullets of each rifle have been pressed. The bolt is pulled and the bullet is loaded. The pistol at the waist is also loaded. A heavy gun next to it is also loaded. The machine guns were also pointed at them. The soldiers themselves were confident of destroying the enemy in front of them. Li Zhenhua also made preparations with the soldiers. Opposite is the Russian Cossack cavalry, an elite unit of the Russian army. To deal with them, we must use the method of beating the cavalry. We cannot let the enemy rush to dozens of meters before opening fire. They have already started shooting at the guardsmen a hundred meters away. They are veterans who have been tested in battles. Whether they are throwing bombs or using their bare hands, they are all experts at hitting moving targets a hundred meters away. They have absolutely no problem. The soldiers of the Desert Regiment are also time-tested warriors. With the sound of gunfire, At the sound, the cavalry on the opposite side fell off their horses one by one. If the one in front falls, it will have a great impact on the enemies behind. If the ones behind are too close, they may be knocked down by people or horses, and those who follow will be trampled into mud by the hooves of horses behind. However, due to the large number of enemies, they are still there. After rushing to a distance of fifty meters, a soldier threw a grenade. The grenade exploded among the horses. People and horses fell immediately. A dozen soldiers dropped bombs on the enemy together, forming a death zone there to stop the enemy's advance. The heavy machine guns and a dozen soldiers continued to be responsible for destroying those who crossed the line of fire.In this short period of time, there were already five more Cossack cavalry. The Russian cavalry lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the ground without dying, shouting "Wow", but the cavalry behind them continued to rush forward. At this time, Li Zhenhua's gun rang out. In his hands were two revolvers. One hand and one shot left and right. The cavalrymen fell off their horses one by one. Almost everyone was shot in the head. The cavalrymen behind saw that those in front had already fallen. Falling to the ground, this also created an artificial obstacle for them. In addition, the people and horses that had fallen to the ground made them lose the courage to continue rushing forward. The cavalry behind them began to escape to both sides. But that can only lead to faster death. The area where the body passed across has increased, and many cavalry fell from their horses. The charging Cossacks retreated. During the fierce battle, Li Zhenhua felt that another person appeared next to him. He ignored him. Only then did he turn around and saw that it was the princess Avna. Abil was also lying on his side. The few Persian soldiers who were shooting her men at the enemy also participated in the battle. The Cossack cavalry who were lucky enough to be uninjured gathered together again. The officer had already fainted. When did his cavalry confront the infantry and was defeated? But there were only more than twenty people on the opposite side. This made him very unconvinced. Now he has lost. There are only a few dozen men who can still fight, but there are only more than a hundred men. The advantage is still on your side, and you must not let these people gain the upper hand. Text Chapter 323 I am the mistress Text Chapter 323: I am the mistress Chapter 323: I am the mistress Chapter 323: I am the mistress (Turns out today is also a holiday, Valentine¡¯s Day. I wish you all a happy Valentine¡¯s Day.) The Cossack cavalry is invincible in the world, and its own army is the Tsar. The honor-minded officer, whose mind was already heated, gave the soldiers a short rest and then gave the order to charge again. The Cossack cavalry once again charged towards the hill that Li Zhenhua and the others were guarding. This time they learned to be smarter. They divided their troops and charged some of them. Advance to the side in an attempt to outflank these people's retreat. Li Zhenhua laughed. If you don't rest and run away immediately, you might really have a way to survive. But by taking a break, you have left your life in the hands of Avna? Abiel didn't understand why Li Zhenhua was laughing and asked him hurriedly. Li Zhenhua didn't answer. He just pointed his hand to the distance and handed her the telescope in his hand. Avna Abil took the telescope and looked into the distance. She saw that some muzzles pointed at them had appeared behind the Russian army. Avna Abil couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?" Li Zhenhua said: "You can ask them later." The Cossack cavalry rushed over again to greet them with bullets that were even more violent than before. Unexpectedly, two more small troops joined in the attack on them in this short period of time. And one troop happened to be fighting the enemy who were outflanking them. This time, they were unable to rush in front of the soldiers. The Russian cavalry left more corpses. The remaining cavalry began to retreat. The officer again He also couldn't control his own army. When Li Zhenhua saw that they were about to run away, he immediately ordered: "Chase and kill them all." Who would beat up a drowned dog? The soldiers mounted their horses and chased the enemy. The Russian cavalry who were running forward saw the pursuers coming up and accelerated their escape. They beat their horses desperately to make them run faster. But what they didn't expect was that suddenly another blocking force appeared in front of them. A fire net composed of machine guns and rifles stopped them. The Cossack cavalry fell off their horses one by one. There were blocking troops in front and pursuers behind them. Only thirty were left. The many Russian officers had no choice but to order their men to surrender. The soldiers brought the prisoners over. Li Zhenhua looked at how embarrassed they all were and ordered the lieutenant colonel officer in charge to be brought over. The others asked them to clean up the battlefield with the soldiers. After returning to the tent, Li Zhenhua immediately began to interrogate the prisoners. Li Zhenhua¡¯s Russian was not very good, and there was no Russian translator Avna around. When Abiel saw that Li Zhenhua was in trouble, she immediately volunteered to be the translator. "Name, unit number." "Alyosha Sergeyevich Ivanov, lieutenant colonel of the Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Expeditionary Force, is currently the deputy commander of the Expeditionary Force in the Persian Empire." "What is your mission?" " My mission this time is to prevent Prince Kedelha and Princess Avna Abir from going to China to capture them and take them back. If they don't go back, I will eliminate them on the spot. " "Your mission is completed. "We were only halfway through the process of catching the injured Kedelha, but we haven't caught Avna yet? Abir let her run away. We could have gone back, but because of some officers, they coveted Princess Avna Abir. "They must catch her." "Can you molest the princess of Persia?" Avna Abir translated for Li Zhenhua again, but at this time her face had changed and she had already taken the gun in her hand. got up. "There was no intention to keep her alive, but the officers all thought she was the most beautiful flower in the Persian Empire and didn't want her to die at all." After translating this sentence, Avna Abir had already pointed her gun at it. He killed the Russian officer. Sun Feihu stepped forward and took Avna Abil's gun over. Avna Abiel was about to take back her gun, but Li Zhenhua calmed her down with one sentence: "Don't you want to save your brother?" Avna Abiel immediately understood that the matter was not over yet and it couldn't be Emotionally, she asked again: "Where is Kedelha now?" "It's in our camp at the back." "How many people are there?" Li Zhenhua asked. "More than five hundred cavalry." Li Zhenhua said to several guards: "Take him down first." The soldiers came up and took Alyosha down. Avna Abil wanted to attack him again, but Li Zhenhua reached out and stopped him. She said to Avna Abir: "If you want to save your brother, let him live for a few more days." Avna Abir doesn't understand what he has to do with saving people? She looked at Li Zhenhua with puzzled eyes and Li Zhenhua said in his heart: This is such a silly girl. So he said to her: "We are going to use this Russian lieutenant colonel to replace your brother." Avna Abil then realized that it turned out that we were going to use this Russian army officer to replace her brother, but she still didn't Agreeing, she said to Li Zhenhua: "Are you just going to let others insult your wife?" Where did this happen? How could it be related to me? This time, Li Zhenhua fainted again. Avna? Abir. Seeing him like this, he said to him: "My father has given me to you, so I am already your wife. Shouldn't you avenge your wife?" After saying this, Avna? Abir was already heartbroken. Tears had already fallen from his angry eyes. Li Zhenhua hated to see a woman cry when he saw her like this. He wanted to wipe the tears on her face but couldn't go forward. Avna? Abil had already fallen into his arms and cried loudly. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to let her cry in his arms. Avna Abir cried for a while and felt that it was not good for her to be like this. She stopped and said to Li Zhenhua: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I shouldn't be like this." When Li Zhenhua saw that she stopped crying, he said, "Why not? "Rescued your brother?" Avna Abil: "Can't we use other methods? Or exchange him for other prisoners." "Don't worry, since he insulted you, we will let him go." Pay a certain price. " "That's great. I know that my husband is the smartest man and you can definitely handle the matter." When Li Zhenhua saw her husband saying that she was his wife, he had to say to her: "Stop it first. Don't say you are my wife. I already have two wives." "It doesn't matter. In our place, men can have four wives, so I will be the third one." Li Zhenhua was thorough. No words. But Avna Abir was still looking at him with tears in her eyes. Text Chapter 324 Exchange of Prisoners of War Text Chapter 324 Exchange of Prisoners of War Chapter 324 Exchange of Prisoners of War Chapter 324 Exchange of Prisoners of War Li Zhenhua felt a little dizzy at this moment. He already had a "gift" given by others, and now there is another one. This actually makes him feel a little dizzy. His thoughts were still stuck in the original time and space. He was just a monogamous person, but he already had two wives. Even though he was "forced", he still felt a little sorry for Wang Xin and Yaqi, and Jin Xifeng let him He already had a headache, and now he had to add a princess from the Persian Empire, which made him obviously disgusted. However, such a western beauty, especially with a charming look, made him unable to be angry with her. A "report" came from outside the tent, and Li Zhenhua was rescued. He hurriedly said: "Come in." Commander Xu Feng of the Sand Eagle Regiment came in. He reported to Li Zhenhua: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief. In this battle, we have destroyed a total of 200 enemies." Many people captured 84 of the enemy, 65 of whom were slightly injured, and killed 136 of whom were seriously injured. In addition, 62 horses and a batch of military supplies were seized. "Li Zhenhua knew that they had to deal with all the seriously injured. Lost. So I asked Commander Xu: "How did you get here?" "Chief, I saw you didn't come back yesterday and I was a little anxious. At the same time, we heard fierce gunfire here. I dispersed the troops to look for you. I heard you were fighting again today, so we rushed over quickly. Fortunately, we caught up with a tail and intercepted the enemy. d" "These two hundred Russian Cossack cavalry were chasing them when they encountered our guns. You said it, now you can arrange to replace the prince of Persia. Also, how about our casualties? " "We basically have no casualties. We only have a dozen or so wounded, and we all kill the enemy from a distance without encountering them face to face. So we don¡¯t have any problems, so I¡¯ll go make arrangements for the exchange of prisoners of war first.¡± Commander Xu immediately went outside and ordered his soldiers to be sent out to guard the rest of the troops to form a protective formation to follow Li Zhenhua. Returned to his camp. Xu Feng immediately began to arrange the exchange of prisoners. First, he sent a second lieutenant prisoner back so that their follow-up troops could prepare to replace their deputy commander Alyosha. He decided on a time and place. When the distance between the two sides was one thousand meters, a soldier would be responsible for escorting them. The people who exchanged went to the middle area to exchange. Both parties were not allowed to shoot, and then both parties returned to their stations. Li Zhenhua didn¡¯t have to take care of these things himself. He asked the two medical staff accompanying the army to check the wounds of Avna Abil. Avna Abil was unwilling. She thought she was just Li Zhenhua¡¯s woman and others could not look at her casually. of one's own body. There was no way that Li Zhenhua had to take care of her wound and bandage it up again. Avna? Abiel was like a docile little animal at this time, very obedient. Li Zhenhua took off the bandage and saw that there was nothing wrong. There was no infection and it was already there. After feeling much better, he felt relieved and bandaged her again so that she could rest in peace and recover. Li Zhenhua asked Commander Xu Feng to be responsible for the exchange work with the Russian army, but he wanted to talk to Avna Abil. However, as soon as he opened his mouth to talk, Avna Abil blocked him. It's very simple, that is, she is determined to follow Li Zhenhua. No matter what your attitude is, I will not change it. The reason is very simple, that is, she knows that she will definitely be a victim of political marriage in the future. Now she has found a man she likes. He is young and beautiful, and he is excellent in military and economic aspects. Moreover, he saved her. The habit of Persian women is A woman's body can't be easily shown to others, so why don't she travel face-to-face? Taken together, these reasons make it impossible to let go. Even if you, Li Zhenhua, don¡¯t want me, then I am already yours. Regarding the matter of how many wives Li Zhenhua had, it was not within the scope of his consideration. Li Zhenhua was completely speechless and had no choice but to escape from Avna Abir's tent. When he came outside, he saw Avna, Abir, and several Persian Empire guards and soldiers reported to him: What should I do with these Persian Empire soldiers? It turned out that they were going to the East with Avna Abir. Li Zhenhua hurriedly told them to go find their own princess with a finger. He came to Commander Xu's tent. Commander Xu was planning with several of his officers how to exchange prisoners of war. When Li Zhenhua came, he sat aside. After listening to it, he thought he was quite satisfied and felt relieved. So a Russian second lieutenant prisoner of war was released and given a horse. He asked him to go to the Russian camp and inform them that tomorrow they would exchange their deputy commander for Prince Kedelha in the middle area between the two armies. After hearing this, the prisoner of war immediately hit the horse. After running away, Li Zhenhua looked at his injured soldiers and told them to let them recover. Then he found a place and began to think about what to do with Avna, Abir and his party.Law. The arrival of Avna Abir and her entourage should be said to be a good thing. At least I have truly understood the current situation of the Persian Empire. That is, they are not willing to become a colony of Britain and Russia. But to be honest, I also have ambitions there. No one is tempted by the huge oil resources there, but the people there don't know much about it now, but they will know it in the future, but their ambition is not to make them their own colonies, but to help them join the new China in the future. Grow and become a powerful and powerful support force for yourself. Now that Avna Abir is making such a fuss, it is difficult for him to control the situation. But the current situation is not a bad thing, so it depends on how he guides him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He now has two wives. Now I am giving myself a headache that I will have in the future. This Avna? Abir is like a piece of brown sugar that has stuck to me. I can¡¯t take one step at a time. Things may be better after his brother comes back. Once it's settled, just hand him over to her brother and she won't stick to her anymore. Li Zhenhua thought he had a good idea but things did not go as he planned. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua was relieved. He asked the guards to find a new tent and hid in it. He asked Captain Xu to take care of Avna Abir and began to rest. The second lieutenant prisoner came back the next morning and said that their troops had agreed to carry out the exchange. He said that the time and place would be chosen according to the time and place set by the Chinese, and that it would be at a place between the two armies, which was only a dozen miles away from here, not too far away. They'll be there soon. Text Chapter 325 Prisoner of War Exchange (2) Text Chapter 325 Exchange of Prisoners of War (2) Chapter 325 Exchange of Prisoners of War (2) Chapter 325 Exchange of Prisoners of War (2) Xu Feng asked: "How many of you are here in total?" The Russian second lieutenant replied: "Three of us are here. There are more than a hundred people. They are all waiting for you." "You don't want your home anymore?" "Yes, we have more than two hundred people at home." Xu Feng didn't say anything and just smiled. He went out first. The Russian army only has a total of more than 500 people. Now that they are here, more than 300 people are guarding their camp and there are more than 200 people. Now that the situation has been roughly grasped, it is time to use your brain. But Li Zhenhua and the others were not careless. Xu Feng had already sent out a battalion of troops, all of them cavalry, and set off into the place predetermined. When they got there, they conducted reconnaissance first, just in case the Russian army had to fight desperately again and let his troops suffer. At the same time, a company was sent to the enemy's rear to ambush and follow orders to attack the enemy. More than 300 people could almost eat them in one bite. In addition, let the second battalion go out now to keep an eye on the enemy's camp. Once a fight breaks out here, they will eat it there. Completely wipe out their group of enemies. Then don't let them go back. It's better to eat earlier than later. powerful. They don't have many people left, so pack them all up and lighten the burden on Persia. Before that happened, Li Zhenhua began to take care of his wife. This made Avna Abir on the side very happy. If there weren't many warriors here, Avna Abir might have had some intimacy with Li Zhenhua again. Chapter d) Soon everything was ready and the troops set off. The battalion in front had already moved forward quickly to covertly occupy the favorable terrain while controlling the surrounding terrain. The company in the back escorted the prisoners and moved forward at a slower pace. After the troops set off, the second battalion also took action immediately. Soon they took a detour to the enemy's back. Avna Abir also came. He was still dressed in men's clothes. She had been sticking to Li Zhenhua's side like this. Li Zhenhua immediately said to her: "You must pay attention to the fact that Chinese people are very civilized. Men and women don't look good together. You have to pay attention to the impact." "Afna Abir had studied the customs of the Chinese people seriously. She had no choice but to stick out her tongue reluctantly, nodded and followed Li Zhenhua towards the place agreed with the Russian army. Avna Abir was also very excited about seeing her brother soon. She soon became happy again. An hour later, they arrived at the agreed place. It was a small basin. The Russian army on the opposite side was more than 300 people in a large black area. It can be said that their elite troops were already standing there according to their combat ideas. There should be favorable terrain and broad terrain for cavalry to attack. But looking at the position occupied by Li Zhenhua's Sand Eagle Regiment, it is much better than them, because behind them is a hillside where troops have been ambushed. Each soldier is wearing a white cloak and lying down in the snow. Then you can't tell which army is coming. If the enemy attacks, you can immediately retreat to the mountain. In a few minutes, you can take advantage of the hillside and use the terrain to attack the enemy. That is condescending, which is beneficial for both defense and offense. Li Zhenhua was satisfied with his troops' choice of terrain. After all, these were soldiers he had trained with the concepts of modern warfare. They had been studying and using Li Zhenhua's combat ideas. Looking over there, he saw that simple fortifications had already been made there. There are traces of some soldiers already hiding there. The opponent's Russian army will not carry out this kind of work, especially the enemy's cavalry. They are even more disdainful of such preparations. Their tactical principle is to fight the enemy directly and sword-to-sword with bravery and diligence. Direct gun-to-gun combat. But Li Zhenhua never let the soldiers do this. If he had to do this, there must be certain conditions. First, the enemy was almost defeated and his fighting spirit was weakened. Second, he was at the end of his rope and had to fight the enemy with bayonets. Otherwise, he This is not allowed. Fighting is an art, that is, using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Otherwise, how can it be called an art if both sides suffer losses? The Russian second lieutenant on the opposite side ran over again. He reported to Xu Feng: "Sir, Prince Kedelha has brought it. How can we carry out the exchange?" Captain Xu said to him: "Just as we agreed in advance, both sides will pay. The two men escorted the person to the middle area between the two sides and exchanged the person back." So the Russian second lieutenant rode back and reported to their officer in charge. Soon the other party pushed a person out of their queue, Li Zhenhua. He handed his telescope to Avna. Abil wanted her to identify it to see if it was her brother Avna. Abil raised the telescope and took a closer look and said to Li Zhenhua: "Yes, that is my brother." .¡± After saying that, she was about to rush forward, but Li Zhenhua had already stretched out his hand to hold the horse's reins. "Don't be impulsive. Everything must go according to plan." Captain Xu waved his hand and the two soldiers on horseback tied the horse up like a rice dumpling. Alyosha was put on the horse and pushed out. This is the difference between the Chinese and the Russian army. We respect the prisoners and give you a horse to ride on. But when you reach the exchange point in the middle, you have to come down and replace it with our people. Besides, those horses are not captured by you. ? It's okay even if I give it to you, but the Russian army on the opposite side is heartbroken about its own war horse. The people on both sides moved to the middle. Soon the Chinese troops arrived in the middle. They stopped advancing and were waiting for the people on the other side to come over. The two soldiers who passed by were pointing their guns at Alyosha and their deputy commander. The two soldiers were very quiet in their hearts. He knew Our own people have made all preparations. The heavy machine guns on the hillside have long been pointed at the Russian army. If they are dishonest and have any bad ideas, they will immediately shoot Alyosha to death and rush forward to kill Kedelha. Grab it. The Russian troops on the opposite side did not make any unusual moves. They sent Kedelha as required. One of the Persian soldiers jumped off the horse and used a knife to pick off the rope on Kedelha. Two horses had already arrived and Kedelha was being killed. The three of them got on the horse and ran back. Soon they came back. Avna Abir ran forward and hugged her brother and started crying. But Captain Xu stepped forward and said to her: "Your Highness, please don't cry yet. I still have something to ask Kedel." Where is Your Highness?" Avna Abir stopped her crying and Xu Feng said to Kedelha: "Your Highness, how many of your soldiers are there in the other party's hands?" Kedelha immediately said: "They have it. And my soldiers." Text Chapter 326 Exchange of Prisoners of War (3) Text Chapter 326 Exchange of Prisoners of War (3) Chapter 326 Exchange of Prisoners of War (3) Chapter 326 Exchange of Prisoners of War (3) Xu Feng immediately shouted to the back: "They still have sixteen people in their hands. Prepare sixteen prisoners" Xu Feng Feng asked the translator to ride forward and shouted to the other side: "We are willing to give sixteen prisoners in exchange for the prisoners in your hands." After a pause, the Russian second lieutenant ran back and Xu Feng told him that he was willing to exchange the prisoners. Their captured soldiers. The second lieutenant immediately ran back to negotiate with their officers. After a while, he came back and said that they did not agree with the squadron's approach. They had to let the Chinese release all the prisoners before they could release the sixteen people. Avna Abir, who was the translator, immediately shouted: "Without you being so unreasonable, sixteen people should be replaced. How can you have the nerve to let all the prisoners go back?" The second lieutenant lowered his head and whispered: "It's the deputy The commander disagreed and said that you still have more than 60 of us, but please let them go." Xu Feng laughed: "You are good at settling accounts, so we will treat you as one. I'll give you a chance, fool." Xu Feng certainly understood that the remaining prisoners were useless even if they were given to them by a deputy commander. He turned back to his guards and said, "Bring all the prisoners to them. Exchange. Chapter d)" The second lieutenant immediately saluted Xu Feng and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my commander and the soldiers." He did not expect that he would be our prisoner again soon. The camp is coming. "No need to thank you, but you tell them that if anyone becomes a prisoner again, there will be nothing to exchange." Xu Feng smiled and said to him that even the Russian soldiers on the opposite side had already regarded him as him. of prisoners. "I will definitely tell you." The second lieutenant ran back again. Xu Feng asked a dozen soldiers to escort all the more than sixty prisoners over. This time, they even skipped the ropes to tie them up, and walked towards them like herding sheep. Avna Abir and Kedelha bowed to Li Zhenhua to express their gratitude. If it were not for their own people, these prisoners could be exchanged for a lot of things. The Russian army on the opposite side also released the sixteen people. After reaching the middle area, the two sides exchanged and then walked back. Xu Feng waved his hand and the soldiers beside him ran towards the middle on horseback. Each of them was holding a horse in their hands. When he arrived in front of those people, he went around in a circle, picked them up, and immediately ran back to the formation quickly. Everyone here is so angry. It turns out that the Russian soldiers hate them very much. Since these guards were very brave during the battle, if they are caught now, they must be beaten hard. Almost everyone was injured. They had not eaten anything for several days. These people were so weak that they fell to the ground. Li Zhenhua said to Avna Abil: "You immediately lead your brother and these people Go back and treat their wounds. We will teach them a lesson and start a fight with them soon." Avna Abir turned to Kedelha and said, "Brother, you and these soldiers go back first. I am going to fight with General Li." "I want to take revenge." She even forgot about her injuries in order to be with Li Zhenhua. When Li Zhenhua saw that there were so many people and there was Kedelha on one side, he didn't know what to say, so he had to turn around and look at the Russian army in front. Kedelha had no choice but to go back with the Chinese soldiers to check everyone's injuries. The soldiers of the Russian army on the opposite side were still walking back, but the formation of the Russian army was changing obviously. They had changed into the charge formation during combat. Li Zhenhua and Xu Feng laughed together at these pig-brained guys. As soon as he put it back, he forgot about being caught. Alyosha Sergeyevich Ivanov is riding on a horse opposite. Being captured made him very embarrassed. Now that he is back, there are more than 300 people on his side. There are only more than 100 on the opposite side. No matter what you say, you have to get your face back. "These Chinese people are so abominable. They actually treat themselves as prisoners of war for fun, so that they have a death wish. How can they explain to the superiors when they go back? Even if they die here today, they must fight to the death with them." Now that the cavalrymen with the highest military rank and the highest rank of lieutenant colonel are listening to me, they must save their face. He didn't ask for other people's opinions, and there was no need. Now he still has the final say here, so let's fight with them again. Now that his cavalry has occupied a favorable position and there are more people, then let himself be taught a lesson. Those hateful Chinese people. This time he has helped the Chinese. Originally, he would have eaten the Chinese even if he didn¡¯t fight them. His proactive attack made people from China, Russia and Persia think he was this person.The most untrustworthy person in the world. This is what the Chinese value about being reasonable and beneficial. This kid's fate was determined by a single thought. Soon his Cossack cavalry was ready for battle, and as soon as the captured people entered the formation, he couldn't wait to issue the order to attack. But he found that the Chinese people on the opposite side didn't want to fight him at all. They had already begun to retreat. They were not retreating in the direction back. If they were to go back directly, they wouldn't be allowed to cut their backs directly. The soldiers were turning towards them. The cavalry retreated on the hillside, and when they got here, they no longer had the advantage of speed. If these cunning Chinese people retreat directly, they can attack them, but they run away sideways and up the hillside. This proves that they are afraid of themselves. Ignore them. Even if they run up the mountain, they must catch up with them. It's hard to let go of the bad breath in my heart if I can't catch up with them. This move of the Sand Eagle Regiment has transformed its siege of the Cossacks into a trapezoidal shape with three sides that can provide fire support to each other. In other words, no matter which direction the Russian army escapes, they will be in a state of being attacked from both sides. This small basin is where they are. 's grave. The speed of the Cossacks' horses has increased rapidly. They are moving quickly towards the hillside. However, as soon as those high-speed horses reach the foot of the mountain, their speed can only slow down again. The speed of the cavalry is one of the most basic elements of their tactics. If the cavalry Without speed, their actions would be restricted. Facing the intensive firepower, the horses and riders could only be ready targets. Now their speed had obviously slowed down. Text Chapter 327: Shooting Rabbits in the Grass Text Chapter 327: Holding grass and beating rabbits Chapter 327: Holding grass and beating rabbits Chapter 327: Holding grass and beating rabbits The soldiers of the Sand Eagle Regiment who were retreating towards the hillside had already occupied the positions that had been prepared long ago. They hid their horses. When they arrived at a place where the enemy couldn't hit them, some people were left to guard them. The rest all entered the position and waited for them to come up. Commander Xu Feng of the Sand Eagle Regiment can completely command such a small-scale combat without the need for Li Zhenhua to participate. Li Zhenhua is just observing on the side. Avna? Abil doesn¡¯t understand the tactics of the Sand Eagle Regiment, but she knows it intuitively. These Chinese can definitely destroy these Russian cavalry, and she can only watch from the side with Li Zhenhua. The distance between the two sides was gradually approaching three hundred meters, two hundred meters, and one hundred meters. The company commander on the hillside issued an order and opened fire with the gun in his hand. Immediately, an enemy cavalry fell down. The company commander's gunshot was the order, and then the soldiers followed. After firing the first round, more than 20 cavalrymen fell down. At the same time, the dull sound of the heavy machine gun that had been waiting for a long time also rang out, "chu, chu, chu", "chu, chu, chu", and suddenly appeared again in the sky. Some small artillery shells were seen flying towards the charging row of the Russian army. Some Russian cavalrymen fell to the ground with their horses and men. Needless to say, those who were dead, but those who were not dead, screamed in agony. Some tall soldiers also threw the grenades in their hands, and some Russian cavalry fell down. This opened the eyes of Avna Abir, who had never seen it before. It turned out that this is how the battle was conducted. Moreover, I have never seen those Chinese weapons before. The advancing Cossack cavalry was like a wave of lng hitting the cliff, and it immediately retreated with a crash. Dozens of corpses of Cossack cavalry were left in front of the position. Those Russian soldiers who were not dead yet The cries echoed on the hillside. Alyosha was just thinking about saving face. He did not think about the feelings of his cavalrymen when they saw their comrades and brothers being captured alive. When they saw their soldiers retreating quickly, Alyosha suddenly understood. To fight a war with the Chinese is to touch a rock with an egg. At this time, he had no choice but to charge. He immediately organized a second charge. At the same time, he urgently mobilized his soldiers. The only reason was that after victory, he could give them a few days off, give them bonuses, and allow them to go find Persian beauties. At the same time, he also organized a supervising team behind them. Some of his guards pointed their guns at the cavalry in front. But whether the frightened Cossack cavalry will listen to him depends on the result of the second charge. After some preparations, the cavalry began a second charge. In the same way, they dropped dozens of corpses and returned to their original position. Two charges had already cost him half of his combat effectiveness, not counting those who were injured. It seemed that this battle could no longer be fought. Alyosha was completely disappointed. It seemed that it would be difficult for them to regain their face. He charged twice and was beaten back without even getting close to the opponent. It seemed that he had no choice but to retreat by himself. Alyosha figured it out, but he was already too late. More than 300 soldiers from the other two companies who had been waiting here were already guarding their retreat. As soon as they approached there, they were immediately attacked by the blocking soldiers. Rifles and heavy machine guns came at them together and stopped them there. Soldiers from two companies had already surrounded them. The bullets shooting from behind were what they feared most. The Cossack cavalry were really desperate this time. They rushed forward from the side of the blocking company regardless of casualties. They desperately wanted to go home and return to a safe place. . Although the soldiers had tried their best, some Cossack cavalry still ran back from both sides of them. The other Cossack cavalry would only die if they did not surrender. The second lieutenant immediately shouted: "Surrender, we surrender, soldiers, please surrender quickly. The Chinese are very good people. They do not beat or scold the prisoners." The cavalry surrendered, and the dozens of them who had just been released were even more agile. He can raise his hand faster than anyone else. Avna Abir, who was following Li Zhenhua closely, had her eyes opened. When did the Russian army become so sparse? They were very ferocious and brave to our people, but now that they are facing those Chinese, they are There was no spirit at all, and it had completely turned into an army without any fighting capacity. Li Zhenhua looked at the battlefield where there was no suspense anymore and said to his guards: "Let's go. There's nothing to see anymore. We just shot a rabbit in the grass this time and ate it." The soldiers laughed together. Avna Abir and the soldiers followed Li Zhenhua back. Back at the station, Kedelha and his men were already waiting for them. Li Zhenhua hurriedly invited them into his tent. The guards gave them the food he had brought with them.Cha Kedelha stood up and once again expressed her gratitude to Li Zhenhua. Avna Abir then said to her brother: "Brother. This is the General Li Zhenhua and Li we are going to find in China." Kedelha was shocked. What? This handsome young general is the General Li Zhenhua Li who he has traveled thousands of miles to find? This is really incredible. However, Li Zhenhua had already walked over to him with a smile and said: "Hello, Your Highness." "Hello, General Li." "Everyone, please take a seat." Li Zhenhua made an invitation gesture with his hands to them. Brother and sister Li Zhenhua and Kedelha sat across from each other. The guard served tea to the guests. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to Kedelha: "How is your highness frightened? Have your wounds been treated?" "Thank you, General, for saving your life." Kai Delha stood up again and bowed to Li Zhenhua. "No need to thank you. I heard Her Royal Highness the Princess say that you are going to faraway China to find me. Now that we have met, please tell me why you are looking for me." Kedelha looked at his sister, and then he and Li Zhenhua put them in Persian. The current situation of the empire was explained to Li Zhenhua in detail. Avna Abir, who was standing next to him, acted as a translator and helped him translate Farsi into Chinese. Li Zhenhua sat there and listened carefully to what he said, sometimes even adding a sentence or two. Li Zhenhua originally didn¡¯t know much about the current situation in the Persian Empire. After listening to Avna Abir¡¯s words once, and now listening to Kedelha¡¯s words again, he basically understood the situation in their country. Text Chapter 328 Cooperation between the two parties Text Chapter 328 Cooperation between the two sides Chapter 328 Cooperation between the two sides Chapter 328 Cooperation between the two sides Their ancestors established the Caesar Dynasty in 1779 and first established its capital in Tehran. In the early days of the Caesar Dynasty, the Western powers intensified their competition in Persia. In 1801, Russia annexed Georgia and Britain's three wars with Persia led to Persia's cession of territory and indemnity and recognition of Afghanistan. After that, France, Austria, the United States, etc. successively forced Persia to enter into unequal treaties. In the second half of the 19th century, Britain and Russia seized the privileges of mining, building roads, setting up banks, and training troops in Persia. (In 1907, Britain and Russia colluded with each other to divide their sphere of influence in Persia: the north belonged to Russia and the south belonged to central Britain as a buffer zone.) From the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, with the invasion of European powers, Persia gradually became The socio-economic decline of semi-colonial countries, the tyranny of feudal rule and brutality, have led to many wars of popular uprisings. Listening carefully to their introduction of the situation, which is indeed the same as that of the current Qing government, Li Zhenhua thought about it and said to them: "I have learned a little about your situation now, but I still only stay at the situation you mentioned. If we want to fundamentally understand the situation, I don¡¯t think you can copy China¡¯s experience to solve the problem.¡± Li Zhenhua picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea and then said: ¡°Every country¡¯s situation is different. Although your Persian Empire and our China are the same in some places, the specifics are the same. The situation needs to be dealt with in detail. Baidu search (hand-made chapter) For example, after we defeated the Japanese, it will be difficult for them to turn over, but the UK and Russia you face are different and cannot be solved by one or two wars. You can drive them away today, but they will have more troops coming in tomorrow." Hearing this, the two brothers and sisters nodded in agreement and said, "Then what should we do?" "Countries, big or small, want it. Strength lies in the ideological awakening of the whole nation from top to bottom." Li Zhenhua said to them, "If the nation's ideology cannot truly awaken, even if there are a thousand uprisings and ten thousand coups, even if they succeed, they will only return to the original state. There won't be any new changes. This is the same whether it's the Qing Dynasty or your Persia." The prince and princess nodded in understanding. Li Zhenhua said: "There is no good way, so I can only do it myself. "How can we become stronger?" Avna Abil asked. "This is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. You need to take your time." An expression of disappointment appeared on Li Zhenhua's face invariably. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to the two of them: "We can't start in just one or two days, and after a long struggle, rushing is not enough. This requires us to work together. We need to really defeat those powers that want to ride on us.¡± ¡°So the general is willing to help us?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay to want us to help you, but we are still too far apart. There is a big difference. The key is that you have to shoulder the main burden yourself." "Please tell me, general, that we can accept it as long as our country becomes stronger and is no longer oppressed by Britain and Russia." " First of all, you must ideologically make your entire nation have the desire to become stronger. You must have a strong army of your own. They can defeat the British and Russian armies, but this army needs strong financial support. There is no strong financial support. Your army cannot last. In Chinese terms, it is necessary to enrich the country and strengthen the army. These are two aspects of a pair of Mao Dun, which means that your country's financial resources are dependent on each other. It must be used for military purposes, but it must also be invested in economic construction. A strong army can protect the economic construction of its own country, but a strong army is impossible without the support of a strong economic foundation. " Li Zhenhua's words were like a tongue twister, but the two brothers and sisters understood it clearly. When they have money, they must first use it for military construction. The military in turn can protect economic development, but they must also take into account people's livelihood issues. " Kedel Ha is thinking seriously: If you want to become militarily strong first, you must have advanced weapons and equipment. Now the country with the most advanced weapons in the world is China. I have also seen how the squadron fought against the Russian army. They are playing the same game, but their weapons will not work even if they are in the hands of our own people, because our own people cannot use them now, so we need to learn from the Chinese. The work here is link by link, and the missing link is also missing. If it didn't work, Kedelha suggested that he should think about it carefully and then discuss these specific issues with Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua readily agreed.??They eat. This is a major characteristic of the Chinese people. They have to eat for everything, and they can discuss things while eating. At this time Xu Feng came in. They had finished cleaning the battlefield and had tallied the results: In this battle, a total of 367 enemies were wiped out, 173 were killed, and 160 of them were captured alive. Liaosha Sergeyevich Ivanov was captured and brought back. They captured 350 rifles, 234 horses, 234 sabers, and a number of bullets. They sent troops from the second battalion to their camp. If you go and collect their campsite, you will probably gain something. After hearing this, Kedelha was stunned for a while. These Chinese people are too capable of fighting. You must know that these Russian Cossack cavalry are very fierce in combat. Our own army does not dare to engage in a head-on battle with them. But now It only took them half a day to take care of all the Russian Cossack cavalry. They were really the nemesis of the Russian army. After a hurried meal, Kedelha and his sister left together. They had to go back and study how to cooperate with the Chinese. At the same time, there was also the marriage problem of Avna Abiel. Now Avna Abiel has already She had completely forgotten the purpose of her coming. Now she only thinks about being with Li Zhenhua. But Kedelha understands that her sister can't be given to Li Zhenhua for nothing. She must exchange her for some benefits. In the evening, the brothers and sisters did not show up. Only a guard and Li Zhenhua came and said that their two highnesses were studying the next step of cooperation. Text Chapter 329 Husband and wife agreement Text Chapter 329 Husband and Wife Agreement Chapter 329 Husband and Wife Agreement Chapter 329 Husband and Wife Agreement Li Zhenhua and Xu Feng also discussed this issue together. Now the purpose of their trip is to avoid a lot of detours due to their presence. Whatever happens is fine. Speak to them directly. Hand dotting d The next morning, Kedelha and Avna Abir appeared after a long period of research. Today Avna Abir has changed into a woman's clothing, a typical ancient Persian dress, with a veil on her face. All the Chinese people were shocked. Although they couldn't see Lu Shan's real face, they could feel in their imagination that she was really a beauty. As soon as they met her, she gave people an otherworldly feeling. Even though she was so beautiful, No one had any wrong thoughts towards her, she appeared in front of everyone like a fairy. Although the two wives of Li Zhenhua are both typical Chinese beauties, Avna Abir is not inferior to them at all, only surpassed and not inferior to them. Li Zhenhua didn't know if any of his soldiers had nosebleeds because he was also staring at the beautiful woman. Fortunately, Li Zhenhua had seen a beautiful woman and he immediately woke up from his piggy state. He immediately invited their brother and sister to the tent to talk. Prince Kedelha and Princess Kedelha had made full preparations for this meeting. They had made full preparations for Li Zhenhua. The request covers almost all aspects of politics, military, economy, etc. This is what Li Zhenhua hopes for. At the same time, he also told Li Zhenhua that his father had already confessed to marrying Avna Abir to Li Zhenhua when they came. As a wife. Captain Xu Feng, who was standing aside, immediately said: "Okay, that's great. We have such a beautiful sister-in-law. We can often see her and feast our eyes on her." Li Zhenhua glared at him to stop him from talking nonsense and let them continue to talk to him. Let¡¯s talk about their requirements for China to train their troops and provide necessary military weapons and equipment. First, build a road to China, conduct all-round economic exchanges with China, conduct business exchanges with China, and provide each other with civilian and military goods. Politically, study with China (of course not with the Qing government). Li Zhenhua looked at it and then said to Kedelha: "I have looked at your situation and we can do it. If we can do this, China and the Persian Empire will be friendly from generation to generation and become eternal friends." So they Further consultations were held between Li Zhenhua and Li Zhenhua, who are soldiers. The Chinese side will first provide some advanced weapons and equipment to the Persian side. First, some soldiers or militiamen will be trained in Persian territory. Tactical methods should now focus on guerrilla warfare. The location is Central region of Persia. That is to say, within the buffer zone of the British and Russian armies, there is no need to fight against the British and Russian armies and wait for the opportunity to fight with them. Secondly, the Persian side will send 5,000 combatants to China to carry out on-the-ground war (because they will have to go back to China). A direct war with Russia's northeastern front). In terms of economy, we will first build a road directly to Almaty and then carry out commercial exchanges between the two. China provided weapons, food, and civilian goods to the Persian Empire. Persia provides China with minerals, human resources, handmade carpets and some local agricultural and animal husbandry products. In the political aspect, we select capable officials to go to the mainland of China to conduct inspections and study. The key political aspect in the future is to focus on economic development issues. China¡¯s requirements for Persia are very special. They only require that they lease their desert area for ninety-nine years. When it is returned in the future, all the buildings on the ground will be owned by the Persian Empire, but Persia will have to make a discount. And the training of the Persian army by those squadrons also took place there. So the two sides signed a treaty on these issues, but there is no need to let others know now, so the name of this treaty is called "China-Persia Secret Agreement". Since it is in the border area of ??Persia, people in the future will also call this agreement "China-Persia Secret Agreement". , the Polish Border Agreement (later, as Avna Abir gradually took control of the real power in Persia, some people joked that this treaty was called the "Husband and Wife Agreement", which is a story for another time). Kedelha and Li Zhenhua signed the document. . The previous questions were settled quickly, but regarding the question of Avna and Abir, Li Zhenhua first expressed his disagreement. The main reason was that he already had two wives and he no longer planned to get married again. But this made Avna Abir very unhappy. Kedelha also showed doubts about Li Zhenhua. They believed that Li Zhenhua's help to them was only a verbal expression, and the treaty was just a piece of waste paper. Why? Because people don't seek profit and don't get up early, you get nothing but a piece of desert where nothing grows. How can you sincerely support us? If you agree, that's another problem because this is you and your wife.Isn¡¯t that what a cooperative political marriage is all about? . When Xu Feng saw that this was not going to work, he had just talked about it so well. Now because of such a thing, it would be overturned, so the gain outweighed the loss. He kept winking at Li Zhenhua. When he saw that it was not working, he simply said: "Chief, since I belong to the Persian Empire, The two highnesses are kind and we should appreciate it. If they don't agree, it will affect our future long-term plans. If other leaders are here, they will definitely agree. Please make a decision quickly." He almost didn't. Tell me that if you don't want it, I'll take it. " When Li Zhenhua saw that the three people had the same attitude, he didn't want to affect the relationship between the two parties. Besides, Avna Abir is also a great beauty, so he said to Avna Abir: "Let's do this. Let me think about it first before saying that after all, the affairs of these four people and the affairs of the country cannot be discussed at the same time, okay? . " Regarding the issue of political marriage, this is not the first time that Li Zhenhua has met Na Yaqi. It is the first case. As a "gift" given to him by North Korea, it is the second case. Even if he and Wang Xin are together, it cannot be said that they are completely married. Pure love, right? If she was just a child from a poor family, would she be able to face it calmly? But wouldn¡¯t she agree quickly if she knew her family was rich? It seems that she is not so pure now. The conversation was originally very good, but due to my evasion, the other party's sincerity has been compromised, which is not worth the gain. For the long-term political interests, I have to make some sacrifices. What is my sacrifice? "Well, this makes Li Zhenhua a little dumbfounded. It seems that he has to agree to this matter. If he agrees to this, he (or the country) can get great economic and military benefits. If he doesn't agree, what will happen next It was hard to say. It seemed like I had to agree. Text Chapter 330 Porn Offensive Text Chapter 330 Sex Offensive Chapter 330 Sex Offensive Chapter 330 Offensive When Kedelha saw that Li Zhenhua did not readily agree, he stood up and winked at his sister Avna Abir. Nodding knowingly, Kedelha said to Li Zhenhua: "Then I'll go back and make preparations. You two can talk about it yourself." After saying that, he walked out by himself without even showing the contract. It really broke his heart. Avna Abir saw that there was no one in the house and took off her veil. There was no need to wear it in front of her husband. Revealing her true face, Avna Abir began her "offensive": "General, do you think I'm pretty good?" At this time, Li Zhenhua despised himself in his heart. The person in front of him was really a person. She is a true Western beauty. She has a tall nose, big eyes, and a mouth that is bigger than that of an Asian. Her figure is also a wonderful "devil figure." People's faces are a matter of proportions. If the proportions are suitable, they will look good. If the proportions are not suitable, it will have a negative effect. However, Avna Abir's various positions are very suitable, which made Li Zhenhua sigh in his heart. The Creator concentrated all the advantages in Avna Abil. Li Zhenhua himself also feels that since he came to this world, his control over women has weakened a lot. In addition, he has long recognized this reality with his two beauties. If he is not moved by Avna Abir at all, then It's nonsense. He also likes her from the bottom of his heart, but he always feels that if he adds another Avna Abiel, it makes no sense in his heart. Therefore, he has been struggling with his thoughts. Now he sees Avna Abiel treating him. After launching an attack, he had to tell the truth: "You are very beautiful." "Then do you like me?" "Yes." "That's fine. Since you like me, there is no problem." Li Zhenhua saw that she was sincere. He said to her with a committed expression: "Since you are willing to follow me, I will tell you that you were born and grew up in the Persian Empire. This is very different from our Chinese customs, habits, and cultural upbringing." I hope we can live well together, but if you feel that it is inappropriate to be with me in the future, then you can tell me clearly that I will let you return to Persia on your own and I will not interfere with your freedom.¡± Upon hearing this, Bill immediately said: "I swear in the name of the Lord that if I have any unfaithful behavior or thoughts towards General Li in the future, I will" When Li Zhenhua heard that she was about to swear a poisonous oath, he immediately said to her: "Okay. Well, I believe you are a good girl and I will treat you sincerely. "As soon as Li Zhenhua said this, Avna? Abil immediately became happy. She rushed up and hugged Li Zhenhua and kissed her, and Li Zhenhua also accepted it. Got her dear. Li Zhenhua patted Avna Abiel's back gently and said to her: "Okay, let me explain the matter to you first." Avna Abiel, who was obsessed with passion, stopped when he saw Li Zhenhua was about to say something serious. Following his offensive actions, he obediently sat next to Li Zhenhua, leaned against him, and hugged Li Zhenhua's arms with both hands. This made Li Zhenhua very uncomfortable. The following is a discussion between husband and wife. Li Zhenhua decided to give all the weapons captured this time to the Persian Empire. This is the equipment for nearly a thousand people, and let Xu Feng and his Sand Eagle Regiment enter the Persian Empire in the middle of Persia. The area is the buffer zone between the British and Russians. They can be stationed close to the desert for the sake of concealment. Then depending on the situation, the troops will be dispersed to reorganize the Persian troops. The troops should be capable and not too large. For now, we only need to have two or three divisions. We will develop them later depending on the situation. If the national strength allows, we can expand the troops to six divisions. If we are to deal with the British and Russians, No problem anymore. In addition, Xu Feng should pay special attention to setting up some inns at important points along the road between the two sides as secret military stations after entering Persia to facilitate future communication with their troops and the transportation of various supplies. This is equivalent to the future. Persia and the Sand Eagle Regiment are a lifeline to China and must ensure that this road remains unimpeded. If necessary, a telephone line will be built in the future and a railway will be built later. This is a story for another day, but we must have this idea now because the railway will be built in the future. If you go further from Kazakhstan, you will reach Tehran in Persia. In addition, after Kedelha returned, he immediately organized the first batch of volunteers to go to China for half a year of intensive training before considering participating in the war. These people will go out in the name of a caravan and enter the original Kazakh region. After that, they will hand over the goods to the local people. They will enter the squadron in exchange for the weapons and equipment and the goods they exchanged for, and then people from China will send them over. Then another is to send some young people to study in Chinese schools. This is sending their first batch of international students to China. If we want to become a powerful country, we cannot do it without such a group of people armed with advanced knowledge. Talking about things one by one, it was already too late. After the two of them had dinner, Li Zhenhua still had some things to explain to her. This was true. Avna? Abir was also recording seriously. She also often I want to express some personal opinions. Li Zhenhua is sincerely happy about her studiousness. No one wants his daughter-in-law to be an idiot. However, his elder brother-in-law was a bit stuck and couldn't hold him up. After observing these days, Li Zhenhua discovered that Li didn't have the conditions to be a successor at all. First, his own quality was not good. Second, he didn't want to come at all. Do what needs to be done for this country. It will definitely not work if a country is handed over to him like this. It seems that Avna Abir will have to shoulder this heavy responsibility in the future. In Chinese terms, this Avna Abir is definitely a talented woman. She has studied in the UK since she was a child and has a good understanding of some necessary political and economic knowledge, otherwise she would not have such a good understanding of China. She is very interested in languages. She can master the languages ????of three countries: Farsi, English, and Chinese. Li Zhenhua drank too much water. He couldn't help but go outside to make Avna convenient. But Abiel played a little trick again. She quietly put some powdery things into Li Zhenhua's water glass and saw that Li Zhenhua was back. She hurriedly added some water to Li Zhenhua. The little girl couldn't wait, and she came prepared. When Li Zhenhua came back, he would definitely drink water and then continue to teach Avna Abil. But he soon found that he could no longer control himself. Seeing the evil smile on Avna Abil's face, he knew that he had enchanted the little girl. He said, originally he was just trying to control himself by these long remarks to her, but now it is obvious that the class can no longer be taken, so he just goes with the flow. Text Chapter 331 The Greatest Woman Text Chapter 331 The greatest woman Her hands were not honest at all as they moved around Li Zhenhua's body. Li Zhenhua couldn't hold on anymore despite her repeated attacks. Her abdomen felt like it was on fire, and even her throat was dry. Avna? Abir obediently unbuttoned Li Zhenhua's clothes and helped him take off his clothes. Li Zhenhua also threw away Avna Abir's clothes in handfuls. When he got to the side, a red-haired Avna Abir appeared in front of Li Zhenhua. Her devilish figure made people unable to control themselves. First of all, her plump breasts are highlighted, which is something that Chinese people at this time do not have. Nowadays, Chinese women can only tie up their proud breasts tightly with underwear or cloth, for fear of being accused by others. Seeing that you are afraid that others will see your breasts is too great, but in the West this is not the case. But at this time, Avna Abir found her clothes again and started to turn over her clothes. Li Zhenhua didn't understand what she was doing. He just looked at her for a while and saw her taking out a white silk handkerchief. She said to Li Zhenhua gestured and then gently spread it under his body. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh in his heart. How come Persian women can do what Chinese people do? Avna Abir gently lay down and whispered to Li Zhenhua: "Can you please be gentler?" Li Zhenhua nodded and lay on her side, gently stroking her body with his hands. Na Abir's body is very sensitive. She trembles obviously wherever she touches her hands, and soon the two of them breathe quickly After the storm, both of them were a little tired. Li Zhenhua lay there quietly. Li Zhenhua felt a little sad. I wonder if this Avna? Abil is obviously still a virgin, but some of her newlywed knowledge and actions know that this is obviously unreasonable. Avna Abir had already taken out the piece of silk from under her body, which was already stained with red blood. Avna Abir said to Li Zhenhua: "You may find it a little strange, right? Why is it that I am a virgin? She knows so many things that an unmarried woman should not know. Listen to me: I learned some of your customs myself. I know your Chinese habits and you will not like a girl who is not a virgin. Our court has dedicated mn female officials to teach these courses. A woman who cannot satisfy her husband is not a good woman. In addition, we women can only allow me to marry you. I will always be you. "Yes." Li Zhenhua nodded. It turns out they have such a physical education class there. He held her in his arms: "Don't have any other ideas. I like you. You have truly become my woman now." I want to care and protect you. I can¡¯t let you be hurt by anyone else.¡± The sun had risen the next morning. Li Zhenhua did not participate in the morning training. He was about to touch Avna. Abir also woke up and she helped. Li Zhenhua got dressed, and then Avna Abil started wearing her own clothes. Then she stood up. She was going to prepare breakfast for Li Zhenhua. She took a step forward and shook her body. Li Zhenhua hurriedly supported her and asked, "What's wrong? Is the wound on your leg hurting?" "No" Avna Abir He made a face at Li Zhenhua: "It's your business." At the same time, he patted Li Zhenhua's hand gently with his small hand. For several days in a row, Kedelha was recuperating from Avna's injuries in Li Zhenhua's army. Abir stayed with Li Zhenhua every day. Li Zhenhua felt that he was a little "lucky about Shu" now. But one day Kedelha finally proposed to Li Zhenhua that he wanted to go back. After several days of observation, Li Zhenhua felt that Kedelha could not complete the tasks assigned to him well. He simply did not have the qualities that a politician should have. He was far less capable than his sister in many things. . Yes, if he had been capable, he would have held up the Persian Empire long ago. Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Zhenhua decided to let Avna Abir go back with him. However, Avna Abir was reluctant to leave by herself. She was already firmly tied to Li Zhenhua. For this reason, she shed several tears in front of Li Zhenhua. She burst into tears, but after Li Zhenhua's persuasion, she had no choice but to agree to go back in order to make her country stronger. She told Li Zhenhua that she must govern Persia with the help of her husband for several years and then hand over a rich and powerful Persian empire to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "I don't dare to think that you will become the queen." Fna Abil said to him: "Just see, your wife will be one of the greatest women in the world." "That's what I hope most. Then I will look up to you.The great queen's. " "Am I still great in front of you? I can only be underneath you. " Li Zhenhua thought about it and agreed to let Kedelha go back. At night, Li Zhenhua saw Kedelha off. Under the care of some officers, Kedelha got very drunk. It was late at night and everyone had left. Avna ?Abiel launched attacks on Li Zhenhua again and again like a prostitute, which made Li Zhenhua feel unable to resist. After the truce, she fell asleep with Prince Kedelha and Avna in her arms. ?Princess Abir will return to Tehran, the capital of Persia, to report to her father about her chance encounter with Li Zhenhua, the signing of the contract with China, and the fact that Avna Abir has become Li Zhenhua's wife. His Sand Eagle Regiment returned to Persia with Avna Abir and Kedelha. A large part of the captured Russian equipment alone, nearly a thousand people, and all the Russian equipment and horses had been given to them. On the Persian side, the Sand Eagle Regiment also had a lot of equipment. A transport team composed of horses and camels was traveling among them. They established some small hotels in suitable places along the way. The most important place to arrange a few people was. After more than a dozen people, Avna Abir and her brother sent some more people to join in to establish a communication line that was not completely open. Then the troops entered the central region of Persia in the desert under the guidance of mn Kedelha. They set up camp on the edge, but Xu Feng took a group of guards and soldiers to Tehran with Kedelha's brother and sister to meet Kedelha's father. Text Chapter 332 The German Army Occupied Jiaozhou Bay Text Chapter 332 The German Army Occupied Jiaozhou Bay Chapter 332 The German Army Occupied Jiaozhou Bay Chapter 332 The German Army Occupied Jiaozhou Bay As soon as he entered Tehran, Xu Feng arranged for the people he brought to contact the local intelligence agency that had already established its own network. Their main targets here are the British and Russians. At the same time, they are also learning about all aspects of the Persian Empire. Xu Feng said that he was very satisfied with their situation. He also introduced them to the situation of himself and the troops, and also told them He gave instructions to protect Avna Abir in the future. The old king in the Persian palace was very happy about the early return of his son and daughter, especially since they also brought a regiment leader under General Li Zhenhua, and this commander Xu was not an ordinary person. He analyzed the situation in Persia. He has a clear and logical view on the development prospects of the Persian Empire that is different from ordinary people, and especially puts forward good suggestions regarding the future cooperation between the two countries. After hearing this, the old king was very happy and immediately authorized Kedelha and asked his daughter to cooperate with his son's work. He asked him to dispatch 20,000 elite soldiers and generals to the Sand Eagle Regiment for training, and then sent troops to transport goods to China in exchange for what he had earned. Urgently needed weapons and equipment were then allowed to join the squadron as volunteers, undergo some training, and then go to the front line to fight the Russian army. Arrangements were also made for sending international students to China. Li Zhenhua and his guards returned to Almaty after several days of marching. Feng Guozhang, who was in a hurry, was very happy to see Li Zhenhua back and immediately said to him: "You are back, I am almost dying of anxiety." "What is there to be anxious about?" Isn¡¯t the Queen Mother dying?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not a telegram from home: the reports from the intelligence system are not good news. Chapter d)¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s pick the worst.¡± Li Zhenhua sat down and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing extraordinary. It won't collapse." A staff officer served Li Zhenhua tea, and Feng Guozhang waved his hand to let them all go down. "The first is that the Germans sent troops to occupy our Qingdao while we were not at home." Li Zhenhua thought to himself: "What will happen to me if it is broken? Forgot about this matter." He said to Feng Guozhang: "Tell me about the situation." "On November 1, the "Juye Mission Incident" in Shandong occurred. Kaiser Wilhelm II learned of this "coveted excuse for the dispute." That is to say, he sent a telegram to Commander Diederich of the Far East Fleet in Shanghai: "On November 13, German Emperor Wilhelm II ordered his Far East Fleet anchored in Shanghai to enter Jiaozhou Bay. The commander of the Far East Fleet immediately leads the entire fleet to Jiaozhou Bay to occupy suitable locations and villages there, and use any method you deem appropriate to seize and completely occupy Qingdao. Obtain a suitable military port for our Germany in the Far East. Extreme effort is necessary. The destination of the voyage must be kept a closely guarded secret. ¡± On November 13th, the German ships "Kaish", "Want Zeiss" and "Kampoleng" sailed into Jiaozhou Bay. On the 14th, more than 700 fully armed German marines landed and quickly occupied the hills of Qingdao. After the pass, an ultimatum was issued to the Qing army stationed in Qingdao, ordering the Qing army to withdraw from Qingdao. General Zhang Gaoyuan succumbed to the invaders' coercion and withdrew more than 2,000 Qing army defenders to the Quartet area. The weak and incompetent Qing government was faced with this. The fantasy of foreign invasion was to "use barbarians to control barbarians" and they adopted a foreign policy of surrender and lost precious time to defend themselves against the enemy. After the illusion was shattered, they had no choice but to evacuate Qingdao. "Go on." Li Zhenhua's face changed. "After our Dongying troops received the news, the Qing army had withdrawn from Qingdao. We have lost the favorable opportunity to fight the Germans, but they are ready to enter the Qingdao area to recover the places occupied by the Germans and are waiting for our orders." Li Zhenhua said. : "What else?" "Russia in the north divided its forces into four directions in the northeast at the same time and launched a massive attack on me. The Russian army in the northeast has defeated the Qing Dynasty's border defense army and began to invade our interior. Their forwards have reached the court and intelligence office under the city of Harbin. They all sent an emergency military intelligence report. "It seems that things are not going to be easy for the Qing Dynasty," Li Zhenhua said. "General, the Qing Dynasty is too bad. Do you expect you to fight all the wars alone? We just won the victory here along the coast and there is a problem. Let us focus on the other side. We can't just run back and forth like this. ." Feng Guozhang said with a grimace. "The local Qing army can't stand them at all. This is what we expected. Bring the map." Li Zhenhua didn't even look at the intelligence. He looked at the map. First he looked at Qingdao and then Just look at the Northeast region again. Several staff officers put a map of the Northeast region on the table. The Russian army sent a total of 150,000 troops. They set off from Chita through Manzhouli and were approaching Qiqihar, the provincial capital of Heilongjiang, all the way from Blagoveshchensk.Lanpao) went south through Mohe and attacked Harbin all the way from Khabarovsk (Kali) in the northeast to Harbin. The fourth road they attacked from Vladivostok (Vladivostok) to Mudanjiang. This situation is really serious. The purpose of the four armies coming out from the north is to capture the entire province of Heilongjiang in one fell swoop. At the same time, the attack all the way to the south is to be used as a mobile force to cut off Heilongjiang's retreat route. Second, it can serve as a vanguard force for them to continue moving south. It seems that this time the cooperation between the Germans and the Russians is quite tacit. Among the "Three Emperors Alliance", the only ones who have not taken action are the French. But will they be so honest? Li Zhenhua doesn¡¯t have Zhuge Liang¡¯s ability during the Three Kingdoms period, so he can calmly pacify the enemies who are attacking from the fifth route. He can only go back and fight the Russians on his own to fight them back. Is there any good way to solve this problem? Feng Guozhang made a detailed introduction to Li Zhenhua on the map. Li Zhenhua smiled: "Old Feng, it seems that we can't do it unless we go up. What preparations have you made now?" "The current Qing army cannot be counted on. I have already ordered Our own units are assembled and on standby. My plan is to consist of two divisions of Li Biao's First Army (one division in Dongying's current target is the Germans and they cannot move.), Duan Qirui's artillery division, and Zhang Zuolin's cavalry. There are five divisions with a total of 70,000 people, and Wang Shizhen, as the chief logistics officer, is in charge of the logistics work of the entire army. This is the Northeast route. In addition, for the German side, I only asked one division in Dongying to prepare. I feel that we cannot do it now. If we start a war with two countries at the same time, it will be difficult for us. The Qing army simply cannot count on our military strength to deal with two countries at the same time. It is obviously a bit inadequate. We urgently mobilize airship troops, armored vehicles and aircraft from the south to let them do it. Let's get ready together. This time we are going to have a big game with the Germans and the Russians and we must defeat them. Now we are just waiting for your word. It is up to you to decide how to fight." Text Chapter 333 How lucky you are to have a wife Chapter 333: What a blessing it is to have a wife. Chapter 333: What a blessing it is to have a wife. Chapter 333: What a blessing it is to have a wife. ¡°I agree with everything you said.¡± Li Zhenhua thought about it and said, ¡°To attack the Russian army, let the Germans go first. In the last step, we have to eliminate them all on our Chinese soil, including Nie Qing's troops here. "It's too far to travel to the northeast," Feng Guozhang said. "It's okay to let those Persian volunteers set out with them and go through training along the way. Let them use them from the ancient front line. They are a special force to copy the retreat of those old soldiers." "Listen. Do you mean to only attack the Russian army? What about the Germans? Are you going to give Qingdao to them?" Feng Guozhang asked. "We must not start a war on two fronts at the same time. Just to deal with the enemy all the way, our troops are limited. They are 150,000, and we only have 70,000. If we fight on two fronts, we will be passive. What I mean is that we should attack the Russian army first. Defeat and then free up our hands to deal with the Germans. Let Zhang Youming of Dongying enter the outskirts of Qingdao and keep an eye on them. As soon as they leave Qingdao, we will attack them. If they do not leave, as long as they are within the range of Qingdao and under the fire protection of their warships, then we will If we don't move them first, we can disintegrate and alienate their Three Emperors Alliance. " "Now that the situation is urgent, we will not hold a meeting. We will summon a few people in Urumqi, Xinjiang Governor Tao Mo, and Karamay Mayor Gao Tianming to inform them three days later. I want to meet with them in Urumqi. da8 updates quickly¡± ¡°Immediately draft several orders to the division commanders of the Kazakh troops and ask them to hold on to the country and be prepared for the Russian counterattack. Notify the local officials in Almaty and the leaders of the tribes that I want to fight with them. They spoke. Nie Qing's troops were all assembled and ready to go. Nie Qing went to the headquarters to receive the order. He notified Xu Shichang of Tianjin to order all the troops to enter the first level of combat readiness. The officers and soldiers canceled their vacation and were ready to go. "The order was conveyed to Li Zhenhua and the Kazakh tribes first. The leaders said that I am going back. The Russian army is causing trouble in the Northeast again. I will go and check it out so that everyone can defend their homeland with peace of mind. Don't be afraid. I will be back soon. The troops will stay here. This made the leaders of the Kazakh tribes put aside their hearts. The fighting strength of the team had already seen that the Russian army was not their opponent at all. The life of the Russian army would not be easy if they wanted to come to the northeast. This time, they could not. If we are half-hearted, we will always be Chinese and will never seek refuge in Russia again. Li Zhenhua had been busy until very late and it was all over. Li Zhenhua returned to his residence. Only then did he remember that there was another Avna? Abiel hadn't told Yaqi about it. As soon as the considerate Yaqi saw that Li Zhenhua was back, she hurriedly helped Li Zhenhua take off his coat and put on his shoes. She had already poured the tea prepared for Li Zhenhua. After finishing all this, she sat down next to Li Zhenhua. For this Yaqi Li Zhenhua was very satisfied with him, even though she was married by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, whom she didn't like. Although Yaqi is of mixed descent from the ancient and Manchu people, she has tied herself to Li Zhenhua since she became Li Zhenhua's wife in name. She completely forgot about the fact that the Queen Mother and the Emperor asked her to restrain Li Zhenhua, and she had forgotten the ancient Chinese tradition that she upheld, that is, marry a chicken and a dog, not to mention her husband is such an excellent man. Yaqi was satisfied from the bottom of her heart and sometimes even thanked the Queen Mother and the Emperor for helping her. Li Zhenhua didn't ask her to follow him these days, and she agreed painfully, but she was still thinking about her husband in her heart. When she saw him come back today, she had already planned to cook for him, but he didn't come back due to work reasons. The guards had already told her and she didn't feel any discomfort. She believes that her husband should focus on work. Now that he's back, he's his own. Li Zhenhua now feels a little sorry for Yaqi and Wang Xin. He found another woman outside without telling them. This would have been unthinkable in his original society. Now he is really facing Yaqi. Some don't know what to say. He thought for a while and then thought of words. This made Yaqi on the side a little funny, so she asked him: "What's wrong with you today? Why do you seem to have something to say but nothing important? We are husband and wife, there is nothing we can't talk about." "Yaqi is like this. There is one thing I didn't discuss with you. I'm sorry to you and Wang Xin." "Just say what you have to say. It's nothing important. If you're tired, just rest first. If you have something else to talk about tomorrow, that's fine." After saying that, she took Li Zhenhua's hand with her hand to encourage him to continue talking. Women always like to know more.These things. Li Zhenhua saw that he was going to say something sooner or later, so he might as well say it sooner, so he told Yaqi everything about Avna Abir. As a woman, Yaqi doesn't want anyone to compete with her for her husband. But in Yaqi's view, it is necessary for Li Zhenhua to do this. First of all, if a man takes a concubine at this time, there is no need to tell him no. After all, there is still the interest of the country. Inside? So she said to Li Zhenhua: "You are right. You are doing it for the national interest. You should do it like this. Didn't you say that we can use any means for the prosperity of the country? Isn't it just concubinage? Wang Xin and I Doesn't my sister have another sister? It can be said that it is a good thing that you have another helper in your work. " "Do you really think so?" Li Zhenhua stayed for a while and asked: "You don't feel uncomfortable in your heart. Are you comfortable?" Yaqi smiled, snuggled into Li Zhenhua's arms and said to him: "It's impossible to say that it's not true, but as for me, I have long been mentally prepared compared to my sisters now. "I think I am the happiest. Although my husband has three wives, my husband is the best." Hearing Yaqi's words, Li Zhenhua gently held her in his arms. It is so lucky to have a wife. It¡¯s a saying that it¡¯s better to be newlywed than to be separated for a long time. Even though they haven¡¯t been together for a long time, they can¡¯t rest their lips yet. He still has to take a good look at the information he got from Feng Guozhang. He first picked up a paper about Germany. As Germany's power in the Far East grows day by day, Germany urgently needs to seek a permanent xng colony in East Asia, especially in China, to protect its vested interests in China and expand its power and influence in China. Text Chapter 334 German Ambition Text Chapter 334 German Ambition Chapter 334 German Ambition Chapter 334 German Ambition 0 Prussian Expeditionary Force Battleships "Arcona", "Thetis", "Fraunlaub" Arrive in China first. In 1870, the German government ordered Captain Sch¨¹ler of the "Helta" to make obtaining naval strongholds along the coast of China his top priority, indicating Germany's ambition to use force to occupy ports along China's coast. After the deputy commander of the German Navy von Spee came on stage, this visionary senior naval general was the first senior German naval general to attach importance to the value of Qingdao. Von Spee was born in Denmark and joined the German Imperial Navy in 1878. He served in Africa and commanded operations. After taking office in May 1996, von Spee began to look for a reliable stronghold for Germany in China and proposed to Germany the occupation of Jiaozhou Bay in 1996. At the end of the same year, the German Naval Command submitted a draft plan for local occupation by the East Asian Cruiser Fleet, which was approved by German Emperor Wilhelm II. Since 1999, Germany has sent some experts to China to secretly investigate and select port sites. The famous German geologist Richthofen's survey report greatly praised Shandong's geographical location, mineral deposits and products. In August of the same year, Admiral Delis, commander of the German Far East Fleet, investigated the military and economic value of Jiaozhou Bay and determined that Jiaozhou Bay was the most suitable harbor. De Cuilin, a German from the Tianjin Customs and Taxation Department, also echoed his opinion. In April 1896, Germany appointed Rear Admiral Tirpitz as the commander of the Far East Fleet and gave him the order: "Look for places along the coast of China where Germany can build military and economic bases." d. After Tirpitz took a warship to Jiaozhou Bay to survey, he also believed that Jiaozhou Bay was the target. In August 1897, on the eve of Germany¡¯s invasion of Jiaozhou Bay, it sent its military construction consultant and harbor project supervisor Francois to China to conduct a more secretive and focused investigation of the Jiaozhou Bay area. In the investigation report, Francius made detailed records and research on nearly 30 items including the location, topography, port, area, islands, wind power, tidal range, address, hydrological conditions, drinking water, residents, industry and commerce of Jiaozhou Bay. The Qing government had no idea about these situations. He discovered that the entrance to Jiaozhou Bay was deep enough to pass the largest ocean-going ships. After entering the harbor, the water surface is two miles wide and the bottom is a deep water basin. Starting from this basin, a trench about more than 2,000 meters long and 1,000 meters wide stretches along the eastern coast. When it recedes, it still has a water depth of 6 meters, which is very suitable for building a port. This shows the in-depth and meticulous work of the Germans. The Germans made full use of the "Juye Mission Case" in which two German missionaries were killed in Juye County, Shandong Province. On November 13, Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered the commander of the German Far East Fleet stationed in Shanghai to lead three German ships. The three warships that formed the fleet heading north include the "Kaiser", the "Princess Wilhelm" and the "Cormoran" (these three warships have different translations: "Kaffasse" and "Princess Wilhelm" And "Agona" or translated as "Kashi", "Late Zeiss", "Common Len" or translated as "Caesar", "William", "Golmolan" and other cruisers). Under the leadership of Commander von Dietrich of the Far East Fleet, they arrived at Jiaozhou Bay and anchored in the Qianhai Sea. Von Dietrich announced to the entire fleet: "The order to occupy Jiaozhou Bay requires that combat operations be avoided as much as possible and a plan that can easily achieve the occupation goal without losing any blood is adopted." The German Navy took the lead in launching an attack on the Chinese forts, and then the Marine Corps landed and forcibly occupied Jiaozhou Bay. It seems that the Germans have already begun to prepare for the invasion of China, but their preparations are too detailed. Even their own intelligence personnel did not discover any problems in advance. They did not start intelligence investigations in this area until they had succeeded. If this is the case, then we have to put this matter aside for a while. Let¡¯s solve the Russian problem first and then talk about the German thing. It is estimated that the people in the court are still engaged in their never-ending quarrels at this time. They know nothing but those useless quarrels. They have no understanding of international affairs and only think of "using barbarians to fight barbarians". That's ridiculous. Those foreigners are helping you on the surface, but their stance towards the Qing Dynasty is that they are all the same, that is, how to get the maximum benefit from China. If there is no benefit, they will not really help you, but those officials have no idea at all. This is the same even for Li Zhongtang, but he knows more than others. When Li Zhenhua woke up in the morning, he saw that Yaqi had already prepared breakfast, so he said to them: "You also need to prepare to leave in three days. We are going to the Northeast. The old men there are causing trouble again. Let's go there to repair them." "Three days later, Nie Qing also arrived. Li Zhenhua told him about the current severe situation and asked him to be prepared. As soon as the volunteer soldiers from the Persian Empire arrived, he would set off with them along the northern line toward the northeastern region and strive to arrive quickly, but he was not given the opportunity. They have a limited time (after all, the journey is too far), but if they go late, they may not be able to catch up with the big battle. If the trip is in vain,??blame others for not giving you a chance. Nie Qing immediately said: "Don't worry, we won't hold you back any time we go to war. We are now one person with two horses, one Chinese horse and one Russian horse. You just have to look at it. Then I will definitely give you an elite army." I won't let those Persians go and I will make them all qualified warriors." Two airships took off. This is the entire staff of Li Zhenhua's headquarters. Li Zhenhua's guard battalion also moved forward to Lanzhou with one person and two horses. They took the train and flew all the way to Urumqi. When the airship landed, Governor Tao and Mayor Gao Tianming were already waiting there. Li Zhenhua immediately started to arrange the work after he left. He first discussed with Tao Mo. After he left, everything will continue according to the original arrangement. If there is anything else, he can contact Tianjin directly. Regarding the construction of the frontier, Li Zhenhua cannot let them relax at all. . In particular, the railway issue must be built quickly. If they can use it quickly, it will be much faster. But if it doesn't work now, the troops can only use the original method to move the defense, but it can be done to Lanzhou because the railway there has been built and used. It takes five days to get there and then as long as you get on the train, it will be much faster. You can travel a thousand miles from morning to night to two thousand miles, which is a day and a night. But since there were no troops walking from there, only Li Zhenhua's security troops were taking this route. Text Chapter 335 Flying over Jiayuguan Text Chapter 335 Flying over Jiayuguan Chapter 335 Flying over Jiayuguan Chapter 335 Flying over Jiayuguan The conversation with Mayor Gao Tianming was relatively simple. They were mainly economic issues. One was the issue of crude oil production and the other was the issue of refined oil. Third, another group of prisoners came to become workers. Mayor Gao Tianming's answer satisfied Li Zhenhua. At the same time, he said to Li Zhenhua: "We have only prepared some information about the oil fields in Gansu. We don't need to exploit them for the time being. Those people have all arrived here." Our exploration work in the Altay area has also begun. We have already made some gains, but the amount is still a little small. But it can be said for sure that there will be larger reserves there. Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely give you good news recently. "Li Zhenhua smiled: "You must have made a new discovery. You haven't told me yet, right? I won't ask you. I will wait for your good news." "I can't hide anything from you. We have some clues, but we have to confirm again. Science cannot rely on imagination, but we can definitely say that the reserves there are not small. We have a big golden doll in our arms. " "That's great," Li Zhenhua. He said happily: "Didn't I already promise you? Just work hard and get results as soon as possible." "Yes" The pilots of the airships outside were inspecting the airship. Li Zhenhua asked, but he was not willing to rush them too hard. Be sure to give them enough rest time, just in case something happens. Li Zhenhua sent a telegram to Sheng Xuanhuai here to learn about the production situation of the aircraft. Sheng Xuanhuai immediately responded to the telegram and said that the development of the second type of aircraft was now underway and had been successful. Some specific data are: the flight time of the aircraft is about half It can fly up to more than 500 meters in about an hour, and its speed is about more than 100 kilometers per hour. This is the most advanced aircraft in the world. It can carry more than 100 kilograms of bombs. He also told Li Zhenhua some of his practices, which made Li Zhenhua very happy. He was originally afraid that Sheng Xuanhuai would not be able to work freely. Now when he saw that he could work so proactively, he immediately sent a telegram to Sheng Xuanhuai and said: "Your work is very good." There are no worries anymore." His call back made Sheng Xuanhuai very happy to work with such a leader. He can mobilize all your enthusiasm and he is absolutely assured of you. This is impossible with other Qing government officials. Even Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang, the recognized leaders of the dispatched troops, are not good enough. Everything must be reported first and only after receiving instructions can we work. If we do not get approval, we may be scolded or even lose our jobs. This is the charm of Li Zhenhua¡¯s personality. Otherwise, he would not have gathered around him such a group of top people who are not afraid of sacrificing themselves for the interests of the country and the nation. The next day, Li Zhenhua was on the road again. In order to rush back to Tianjin as soon as possible, he could only continue flying. Most of the people were on another airship. This one was only him and two ladies, Feng Guozhang and Sun Feihu. Feng Guozhang and Sun Feihu had already hid aside, so they wouldn't let him be a "light bulb" here. There are many things in Li Zhenhua's mind, but Yaqi and Jin Xifeng are watching everything new on the airship. The airship flies relatively low. When they see a new place, they ask Li Zhenhua what it is. When they arrive in the sky above Turpan, Li Zhenhua I told them that this is the best place for grape production in China, and the water in Hami next to it is also the most famous in the country. If our railway is built in the future, we will be able to eat the grapes and fruits here. From the air, the vineyards look very spacious. In the afternoon, the two women screamed again. It turned out that some of the stones below were red, even though they could be seen under the heavy snow, and the area was also very large. Li Zhenhua said to them: "You know the story of Journey to the West?" "The second girl said that she knew Li Zhenhua and said to them, "The name here is called Flame Mountain. The maximum surface temperature in summer can reach five degrees. I heard that chicken eggs can be cooked on their own here." Jin Xifeng screamed in surprise. The next day they saw the dilapidated city wall and city of Jiayuguan again and they began to sigh again. At this time, Feng Guozhang and Sun Feihu also came over. Li Zhenhua said to Sun Feihu: "Go and tell the driver to slow down our speed." Take a good look here." The airship slowed down and approached Jiayuguan. The Great Wall was already dead. Some places could not be seen at all. Some places had been covered by wind and sand, but it could still be seen that the Great Wall originated from here and headed east. The ancient Chinese used them as their own barriers, but they all knew that the Great Wall was dead and could not block the invasion of outsiders. But if you are strong, no one would dare to offend you without the Great Wall. Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang knew that they would appear on the other side of the Great Wall in a few daysIn one direction, we launched another battlefield against Russia. Moving forward, people have already seen the railway roadbed. They also saw some workers working in the severe cold. Li Zhenhua knew that there is another steel base in Jiuquan, fifty kilometers away from here. If mining can be carried out here, then the railway construction in the west It will be much faster. With the markings of the railway line below, their flight was much easier. At night, they flew all the way to Lanzhou. Since they did not notify the local officials and did not need to meet them, they went directly to the Lanzhou train station. A special train that has been notified long ago is already waiting here. This was arranged by the Intelligence Ministry mn. They knew that Li Zhenhua was in a hurry and did not bring his own guard troops. This train only has three cars, and the two cars at the front are one of the guard troops. It's Li Zhenhua's special train. As soon as Li Zhenhua entered the station, he saw that the place had already been blocked by the soldiers of the New Army. Unrelated personnel were not allowed to enter at all. It seemed that the security work for Li Zhenhua below was very strict. Li Zhenhua was not particular about these things, so this special train was just It's in the name but the decoration on the train is not very good. After getting on the train, people can finally take a good rest. Obviously, the trial operation has just started here. The speed is not very fast, it seems to be more than 30 kilometers, but it is much faster than marching. The key is that it is much more comfortable. As soon as we passed Baoji, the train picked up speed and reached a speed of forty or fifty kilometers. It was already the seventh day when we arrived in Beijing. Alas, there was no way who could have made it so that there were no trains or planes at that time. There were even no roads in some places. But if you compare it with the two emperors Kangxi and Qianlong, it is much faster. It is like traveling by horseback, and it takes more than a month to travel from Dihua in Xinjiang to Beijing. Text Chapter 336 New Pistol Text Chapter 336 New Pistol Chapter 336 New Pistol Chapter 336 New Pistol Since the train is a special train, they generally will not stop unless they need to add water and replenish coal, so the speed is very fast on the Hanzhong Plain and the North China Plain. Although it can't be compared with current internal combustion engine trains and electric locomotives when it reaches 40 to 50 kilometers, it is still very fast because there are not many stops along the way. Text: Marching by train is much more comfortable than walking and riding a horse. After a night's rest, Yaqi and Jin Xifeng had rested. When it was almost dawn, the train had entered the border of Henan and they all came. The train was now traveling in the Taihang Mountains. There are mountains to the west and plains to the east. But now that it has entered winter, there is no scenery outside. Whether it is the mountains or the plains, there is nothing on the ground. They are all bare. Only in some villages are there some trees. After getting off the train in Beijing, there was already a car waiting for him. Li Zhenhua quietly came to his residence in Beijing. This is where the intelligence department mn is now. In front of it is a large hotel owned by his Xinghua Group Company. The front is open to the public and the back is a place for personal activities. Now Sheng Xuanhuai and Feng Yinqing are sitting in Li Zhenhua's home. As soon as they saw Li Zhenhua, they immediately said: "I guess you will be back soon, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon." It had only been seven days since they arrived in Beijing, which was shocking at the time. Half of the journey is by flight and the other half is by train. Li Zhenhua didn¡¯t waste any time and directly asked them if there was any recent situation in the Northeast. The two hurriedly brought the map and reported the recent intelligence to Li Zhenhua in detail. Li Zhenhua looked at the map and immediately asked: "Why is there Japanese on it?" Feng Yingqing immediately said: "This is the map that was captured by the Japanese in the Jiawu Year. Their map is more accurate than ours, so we It's just right to use them. Now the map of Northeast China is also using theirs, and there is basically no error." Li Zhenhua just smiled bitterly and continued to listen to their introduction. During this period of time, there was a constant debate in the court. One was that troops were about to be launched against the Germans and Russians. However, some opponents refuted their statement and thought that they had no troops to send, so what should they do with them? Fighting the Germans? They sent people to Qingdao to negotiate. The Germans said that they were stationed in accordance with the orders of the German Emperor. If they wanted to force them to retreat, only the German Emperor had the power. Those people had no choice but to come back in despair. I guess they would have lost even more money against the Germans. I dare not speak big words. Li Zhenhua didn¡¯t care about what happened. He didn¡¯t care about them. He asked about the situation in the Northeast, which was what he was most concerned about. They immediately began to report to him about the situation in the Northeast. The Russian army is now a four-pronged force. They have taken Qiqihar, Mudanjiang and other places. Harbin is also on their lips. The Qing generals, Heilongjiang General Shoushan and deputy general Chang Rui, are preparing to defend with all their lives, and they probably won't be able to defend for a long time. Our situation is like this. The intelligence and agents in the Northeast mobilized the local people to clear the Northeast region involved in the war, so that the Russian army could not get any food, fodder and food supplements. This made the Russian army have no choice but to A large amount of military supplies were transported here from Russia. They also issued a batch of weapons to some local ethnic minority hunters, organized the people to engage in guerrilla warfare, destroyed the Russian army's supply lines, attacked their transport teams, caused them a lot of trouble, and directly affected their logistics support. Their attack was nothing more than the Russian army strengthening the defense of their transportation lines, and their losses were much less. It is estimated that the Harbin attack will begin soon. Our troops in the customs have followed your instructions and have all made preparations to leave the customs. All officers and soldiers have canceled their holidays. The military academies have finished their studies ahead of schedule and have entered the army. All the troops have begun preparations for departure into the Northeast region. All cold-proof items have been distributed to every officer and soldier. In addition, cargo ships transporting various new equipment have been assembled in Laizhou Bay and are on standby. Some new weapons are all on board, including grenades, mortars, light machine guns, aircraft, new radios, etc. Due to Xu Shichang's urgent need, some of the equipment has been sent to the troops. In addition, the military factory has newly produced a batch of 40 armored vehicles, which are also included in this batch of military supplies. Also, the pistol factory that you designed before you left has already produced a batch of pistols. After testing, the effect is not very good, but the firepower is very strong, but there are too few. There are only more than a thousand pistols. Sheng Xuanhuai said and put the two pistols on the table. When Li Zhenhua saw that it was exactly this kind of pistol, it was right. It was the pistol he wanted. He knew what Sheng Xuanhuai meant. That is, the muzzle of this kind of pistol should jump upward when it is fired. This is not a problem. As long as it is a gun. Just change the holding position. Other guns have the handle downward, but this kind of gun requires the handle to be held downward.Hold it sideways, that is, hold it horizontally. Using the beating of the gun itself, he quickly entered the next aiming point. If the gun handle was to the right, he would shoot from right to left. On the other hand, if the gun handle was to the left, he would shoot from left to right. So he took the pistol. He took it in his hand and took a closer look. It looked good. It looked like this. He pushed the window open and there happened to be a small garden in front of it. On its edge was a circle of brick flowers. The edge was full of bricks. He took out the magazine and looked at it. After loading the bullet, he pulled the bolt with his hand and loaded the bullet. He raised the gun in his hand, took aim, and then started shooting. Hearing the constant sound of gunfire, the brick corners flew up one by one. This made Sheng Xuanhuai stunned. Not to mention that those who tried the guns were all good players, but they were not much different. He also tried a few bullets to shoot. The problem is that the speed is not good enough. After one shot, you have to re-aim. The problem is that the muzzle jumps upward after every hit, which directly affects the next shot. In this way, the German Moser pistol was originally intended to be put into military service, but due to its failure, the country did not allow it to be put into service. However, during the Chinese Civil War and the Anti-Japanese War, there were more than 10 million pistols on the battlefield in China. They played a huge role, especially some of the Eighth Route Army's pistol teams, which made the Japanese invaders suffer greatly from such guns. But Li Zhenhua's sh-attack was different. It basically didn't stop but continued to hit, and the hit was so good that I can't say it. The corners of the bricks thirty meters away all flew away, which made those outside The soldiers were also surprised. Text Chapter 337 The Russian army invaded the Northeast, it was my fault Chapter 337: It¡¯s my fault that the Russian army invaded the Northeast Chapter 337: It¡¯s my fault that the Russian army invaded the Northeast Chapter 337: It¡¯s my fault that the Russian army invaded the Northeast Chapter 337: It¡¯s my fault that the Russian army invaded the Northeast Your own boss will not design a useless pistol. A few people were all shocked, but Li Zhenhua said: "Don't look at it, it's just the wrong method. Turn around and I will tell you to distribute those thousand pistols to the grassroots commanders below. Let's continue to talk about the situation." It seems that this situation This war against the Russian army will become a testing ground for our new weapons. This is not bad. If there had not been such a war, it would be really not easy for us to prepare for such a test. From this aspect, we have to thank those old veterans. Li Zhenhua is still satisfied with the preparations of the troops. Now Xu Shichang is on his way to Beijing and he is expected to arrive soon. Sheng Xuanhuai said to Li Zhenhua: "There is also Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang who want to see you. If you have time, you can go to his place first to see if there is any new situation on their side." Li Zhenhua said to Feng Guozhang and Sheng Xuanhuai: "You guys will do it right away. Get ready and wait. As soon as Xu Shichang arrives, you will convene a military meeting to discuss the specific work of leaving the customs. I will go to Li Hongzhang's place." Sheng Xuanhuai immediately said: "At this time, he should be at his home now. If you want to go, then go directly to him. Just go to their home. d¡± (It turns out that when Li Hongzhang was in Tianjin, he always stayed at the Anhui Guild Hall in Xianliang Temple. Now that he has joined the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and has been relieved of his duties in Beiyang, he has found his own place in Beijing. He settled in a place not far from the intelligence office in Beijing. This was also a measure to facilitate future interactions.) Li Zhenhua agreed, so a car drove over immediately and Li Zhenhua got in. The car was well decorated. The car window glass has a layer of black gauze curtains. You can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see what's inside from the outside. When they arrived at Li Hongzhang's house, everyone knew about the relationship between Li Hongzhang and Li Zhenhua. They immediately went in and reported it. Li Hongzhang hurriedly picked him up. The two of them entered Li Hongzhang's study together. Li Zhenhua was not polite and immediately talked to him. He had gotten to know him a little beforehand. The intelligence situation is similar to what I know. The issue of Germany is currently being debated in court, but there is nothing substantive. The Germans, who are currently mediating between the British and the Americans, but there is no result, will not spit out what they have thought about for many years and finally put into their mouths. But in the war in the Northeast, Li Hongzhang said that Qiqihar and Mudanjiang had been lost a few days ago. The situation in Harbin is not optimistic now. It is estimated that the Russian army will only start to attack for a few days. Li Hongzhang sighed and said to Li Zhenhua with a wry smile: "General, please He said that you have unshirkable responsibility for the loss of these cities. " Li Zhenhua was surprised after hearing this: "How can I be responsible? They were not lost from my hands, but I went to the northwest, and I still won the battle. "Yeah, the general doesn't know something," Li Hongzhang continued: "According to the British intelligence, it was because you hurt someone in the northwest, so they knew you were not in the northeast, so they dared to use troops in the northeast with great fanfare. They don't dare to make such a big show of it in Tianjin." Hearing Li Hongzhang's words, Li Zhenhua reluctantly smiled and nodded to Li Hongzhang, but he couldn't help but admit this fact. "What can the court do?" Li Zhenhua asked again. "What else can you do? Those officials usually only quarrel. If something happens, they can't come up with an idea at all. Now they can only mobilize troops from other places. Your new army has been established for too short a time. They don't have combat capability yet." You will die in vain if you go up there, but you know that there are still capable soldiers in the court. Those new armies are not yet able to form an army. They can only be in Huguang Zhangzhidang. There are thousands of troops. That's not enough. It's not that no one in the court thinks of you, but firstly, you are in the northwest, and secondly, it will be next year when your troops come back. They have been bickering." Li Hongzhang paused and continued. Said: "Now that you are back, what are you going to do?" "What else can I do? Just beat them when they come so that they will never come back. We in China are not for them to come and leave whenever they want." "Now your new army has just been formed. Those soldiers have only been trained for a few months, so they are not going to die? It takes less than two years for a farmer to become a soldier." "Then you can't look at us." We didn't show any sign of being invaded by the Russians. "What else can we do? It's really sad to think that the Qing Dynasty is so big but we don't have the troops to fight." Li Hongzhang said here. Let out a long sigh. "Then I will go back to Tianjin and waitI guess it means the court. They just talk and don't do anything practical. " "What I mean is that you can go see the Emperor and the Queen Mother first. They are always thinking about you and see what they think. You must know that their support will be beneficial to your future actions. I will tell you in advance any news in the future. If you are left alone to patch up the Qing Dynasty, people will not know how to blush. Don¡¯t they know that if the country is destroyed, it will be destroyed by their hands? " Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "It's a good idea that I will go to the palace tomorrow to see what the two of them have to say. It's impossible to go to war without money if we ask them for more money. "Li Zhenhua said in his heart that if he hadn't defeated the Japanese, the compensation alone would have been 200 million taels. Now you can't say that you have no money. The next day, when Li Zhenhua got up, he chatted with Sheng Xuanhuai, Feng Guozhang, and Feng Yingqing for a while about the situation. They probably dispersed there. He didn't go to the palace until after the court. He hated those people who just had a quarrel when they had nothing to do. He didn't like to see them like that. But after arriving, he realized that the quarrel there was not over yet. He stopped the little eunuch who was about to go in to report. He wanted to keep it secret. He went into the palace and didn't want too many people to see him. After waiting for a long time for the ministers to come out, he hid in his car and didn't come out. When he saw Li Hongzhang, he shook his head and got into his car and left. After all, cars are more comfortable and safer. Finally, those people left. Li Zhenhua started the car and drove towards the palace. This was his prerogative. After many meritorious deeds, there was no reward. The emperor also gave him the honor of being able to drive in the palace. Li Zhenhua didn't like it, but he liked this reward, which could save him a lot of time. Text Chapter 338 War is also a science Text Chapter 338: Fighting is also a science Chapter 338: Fighting is also a science Chapter 338: Fighting is also a science When we arrived at the Yangxin Hall, the emperor had been waiting at the entrance of the mn for half a day. , those ministers kept quarreling, which made Emperor Guangxu's head big, but they didn't make any noise. As soon as he heard that Li Zhenhua was coming, Emperor Guangxu was so happy that he went out and took a breather. He liked it from the bottom of his heart. Only his brother-in-law can bring him some good news. The battle report from the northwest has been sent by the local military and political officials six hundred miles. They knew that Li Zhenhua fought back the Russian troops who entered Xinjiang. But as soon as Li Zhenhua entered Kazakhstan on the opposite side, they knew little. Only Tao Mo, the governor of Xinjiang, The report said that they have sent back tens of thousands of Russian army prisoners, and I don¡¯t know what happened after that. Now that Li Zhenhua is back, there will definitely be good news. Emperor Guangxu's intuition came from his heart. Because he has never lost a battle, even if all his troops were wiped out in Korea, it would also cost the Japanese a greater price. As soon as he saw Li Zhenhua coming, Emperor Guangxu immediately came up to him and said, "Brother-in-law, you are really fast. Then he said he was coming back and here he is. What good news did you bring me this time?" He came forward. In one step, he grabbed Li Zhenhua's hand in his and pulled him towards his house. Li Zhenhua¡¯s face looks much better than before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899. Yes, there is no need to pay compensation or cede land. Moreover, Li Zhenhua asked for money and came back to cede their land. Wouldn¡¯t this make Emperor Guangxu happy? The eunuchs immediately served Li Zhenhua tea and then stepped aside to wait with some palace ladies. They were also anxious. In the past, Li Zhenhua had to tell a lot of new things every time he entered the palace. There were usually not so many happy events in the palace for Guangxu. Li Zhenhua said: "How was the situation after you arrived in Kazakhstan?" Li Zhenhua took a sip of tea and said slowly: "This time when we arrived in Kazakhstan, we took care of the Russian troops there and took out their commander. After being captured, I asked them to build the road for us. Why don¡¯t we leave these prisoners who don¡¯t need to pay?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Guangxu laughed and said, ¡°We just want them to work for us. Who allowed them to come to our country to act wild?" Seeing Guangxu laughing, Li Zhenhua said in his heart that if your own father and that Master Weng saw it, they would say how decent you are. You, the emperor, are too deceived. Bar. Li Zhenhua was thinking about a young eunuch outside the mn who came in and reported: "Li Zhongtang and Mr. Xu from the Ministry of War ask for an audience." When Guangxu heard this, he immediately said: "Let them come in." Li Hongzhang and Xu Gengshen came in one after another. It turned out that they had left, but Li Hongzhang was After talking to Lao Xu, the two of them came back together. When they saw the emperor, they immediately saluted him. Emperor Guangxu said to them: "I don't need you to come and listen to how my brother-in-law fought." Originally, he should have addressed him as "brother-in-law", but he felt that calling him "brother-in-law" should be affectionate. He kept calling them this way. Li Zhenhua told them about the situation after entering Kazakhstan in detail. Everyone in the room was fascinated. No one was talking. Only the one who was giving Li Zhenhua water in the early days of liberation could only see the expressions on their faces. Li Zhenhua, who is nervous and laughing at times, is like a man talking about storytelling. After Li Zhenhua finished speaking, Guangxu paused for a while and then said: "It seems that this war is just as you said, but if you don't study hard, you won't be able to fight this war." Li Zhenhua did not tell them that war is an art. The meaning of the word "Ò»" is the same, but this is the first time they heard it and it felt very fresh. Li Hongzhang and Xu Gengshen knew what they were doing and immediately asked Li Zhenhua: "General Li, the Russian troops didn't suffer any harm from what you said, but why can't our army defeat them?" They talked about the matter in one sentence. Arrived on the northeastern battlefield against the Russian army. Regarding the Qing army, why not? Does this need to be said? The key point is that it was caused by the decadent social system of the Qing Dynasty. But Li Zhenhua cannot talk about this system problem now. He can only say that it is the Eight Banners and Green Camp of the Qing Army, as well as the current Hunan Army and Huai Army, because they have not had a war for many years. Heping ignored the training for a long time and other reasons that they all recognized and passed by. There's no need to tell them things they can't do because it's useless. Xu Gengshen immediately said to the emperor: "Since General Li has come back, let him talk about the two current things. With General Li on the emperor, I can sit back and relax, and the minister can rest assured." Now that he has said this, Let's get started. Emperor Guangxu said to Li Zhenhua: "You also know the matter. Today's court meeting has been quarreling for a long time, but we haven't come to a conclusion. You will feel better now. I just want to hear your opinion." This has been on the lips of Emperor Guangxu for a long time, but he has been embarrassed to say it. It turns out that those wars he fought were all workers in his own factories. Furthermore, his mother has always distrusted him. It's so unkind to ask people to send troops to the Northeast again just after they returned from the northwest. How can I say it out loud? ¡°Furthermore, regarding the issue of Germans entering Qingdao, we have to listen to Li Zhenhua¡¯s opinion. He is more far-sighted than others. It¡¯s impossible not to be convinced. Now that Xu Gengshen has spoken out, let Li Zhenhua express his position. Li Zhenhua knew that as long as he met the emperor, something like this would definitely happen, and he was already prepared, so he immediately said: "How much money did the army spend on Korea and Liaodong last time we fought against Japan?" Li Hongzhang probably figured it out. He said at once: "About thirteen million taels." "How many troops went out?" Li Zhenhua said, "About 170,000 to 80,000 people." Xu Gengshen replied. "So this time the Russian army dispatched 200,000 people (the court's intelligence was that the Russian army dispatched 200,000 people, but Li Zhenhua's intelligence was that it was 150,000 people. Li Zhenhua didn't say anything, so he just followed their wishes.) "How many people are we planning to dispatch?" "This has stopped everyone. Yes, the Japanese army has arrived with more than 60,000 people. We have dispatched 170,000 to 80,000 people, but they can't defeat them. Now the Russian army has 200,000 people." How many troops do we need to dispatch? Are 400,000 people going to be mobilized? If that were the case, where could this soldier come from? Text Chapter 339 Digging a hole for Mr. Weng Text Chapter 339: Digging a hole for Lord Weng Chapter 339: Digging a hole for Lord Weng Chapter 339: Digging a hole for Lord Weng When Emperor Guangxu saw that this was not going to work, he had to ask Li Zhenhua to tell him what he meant, so Guangxu said: "What does the general mean? Just say it bluntly." When Li Zhenhua saw that the emperor had spoken, he had to express his thoughts: Now that two powerful countries in the world have entered our country, my opinion is that it is temporary. We cannot use troops against Germany and must go to war with Russia because we cannot fight two wars at the same time. No matter how powerful a country is, it will not be easy for them to face two wars. Regarding the question of why we did not attack the Germans but Russia, Li Zhenhua analyzed: The key is that Russia has now occupied thousands of square kilometers of our land. We cannot ignore it. It is also the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty. The most important thing is that The Russian army brutally and brutally massacred our people in large numbers, which is why we have to use troops against them. These three conditions cannot but allow us to send troops. Regarding Qingdao, the Germans are much gentler to us. Let¡¯s deal with them first. Don¡¯t they say they are on loan with us? If we give it to them first, we will definitely have a chance to take it back. Now we can only aggrieve the people there. Then there are the people who are in charge of the battle. They don¡¯t understand the situation. It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t know how many capable soldiers we have now. They know that the purpose of shouting in the court, even crying bitterly, and making impassioned speeches is for They don't have a comprehensive consideration of my reputation. Whoever is talking about fighting should let them personally lead the troops to fight. Regarding the issue of negotiations with the Germans, North Korea and China should find a respected veteran to talk to them. We should not lose our identity as a major country and not push the Germans to the side of the Russians. We should also allow them to lean towards us on some issues. That can be done in the future. We must take Qingdao back, so we have to wait for an opportunity. After listening to Li Zhenhua's words, Emperor Guangxu lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "What you said is right and it can only be like this now. Just listening to their quarrel will be fruitless. But who do you think should be allowed to negotiate with the Germans?" Li Zhenhua smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you can make your own decisions." "In the past, Li Zhongtang was in charge of all external negotiations and other matters, so how about letting him go?" Li Zhenhua immediately objected and said: "Anyone can do it. Only Li "Zhongtang is not suitable this time." No matter who goes into the negotiation, he will not fall behind. Then Lao Li will not be allowed to take the "blame". Although he is a "blame" professional, in fact, Li Zhenhua has already given it to him. Old rival Weng Tonghe dug a hole. "Why?" "Your Majesty, think about it, who in the world doesn't know that Li Zhongtang has the best relationship with the Germans. He can't go this time. Whether the talks are good or not, he can't go." "Then who should go? ?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same for anyone except Li Zhongtang.¡± ¡°Then please go, Mr. Xu.¡± Emperor Guangxu looked at Xu Gengshen again and said immediately: ¡°I am preparing for a war with the Russian army. I can¡¯t. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°If that doesn¡¯t work, let Master Weng go. He is also a highly respected veteran.¡± Li Hongzhang and Xu Gengshen immediately agreed, ¡°The emperor is the most suitable person.¡± The two of them immediately agreed. The two-generation imperial master was sold out, which was a thankless job in itself. Li Zhenhua didn't need to say anything because he had already told whoever was going to do the same. The following people continued to talk about the war against Russia. Li Zhenhua continued to talk to Guangxu. First of all, he was preparing to dispatch the 70,000 new troops he was training. Xu Shichang would appear as the president of the entire army as the imperial envoy without appearing. Because the Russian army still has lingering fears about him, he is afraid that they will run away if he comes forward, and the goal of total annihilation will not be achieved. It is not feasible for so many troops to go out in the ice and snow for nothing. When they heard that he was going to send out 70,000 people to fight against the 200,000 Russian troops, the three of them were shocked. It was incredible that only 70,000 people could deal with the 200,000 Russian troops. Xu Gengshen said immediately: "General, you have to think about it carefully before talking." Emperor Guangxu also said worriedly: "Can 70,000 people do it?" Li Zhenhua said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the troops are good and not too many. I said so, and I will do it." After all, don¡¯t we have any soldiers that can fight? As long as the emperor guarantees the last two, you can rest easy.¡± ¡°What else? Just say it.¡± ¡°The first is to ensure military expenditures. Do not use any excuse to deduct military expenditures. This time, about eight million taels will be spent. If it is not enough, then let¡¯s talk about it. However, we can¡¯t use more than one thousand taels for the war against Japan.?Two. " "There is no problem with this one. "Guangxu immediately replied. "The last point is that during the war, the mouths of those innocent people must be blocked and they cannot casually hear about things. If something needs to be done, there must be evidence and cannot be based on rumors. Especially in the military aspect, we must not let them have their say. If they don't dictate from one side, we can win. If they dictate from behind, it will be difficult to say. " "There is no problem with this one. "Emperor Guangxu said again. "But these are all easy to say, but Xu Shichang's low words may not convince the public. "Li Hongzhang said with some worry. "This is for mng those Russians and me, right? " "What troops does General Li plan to use to gather these 70,000 people? "Xu Geng was still worried about the army. Li Zhenhua said: "Just two infantry divisions from Tianjin, Duan Qirui's artillery division, and Zhang Zuolin's cavalry division, a total of five divisions with 70,000 people entered the Northeast. Wang Shizhen served as the general logistics officer. Feng Guozhang, the logistics officer of the entire army, cooperates with my work as the chief of staff. In addition, as the co-organizer of the Navy, I also want to tell the navies of Nanyang, Fujian and Guangdong to be more vigilant and guard against other powers. When we fight against the Russian army, they will add trouble to us in the south. In this way, we will be fighting on two fronts, which is very detrimental to us. of. In addition, the Beiyang Navy must be prepared on the Weihai front line to guard against the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet coming to trouble us. " In the end, out of concern for Li Zhenhua, the emperor transferred 30,000 people from Fengtai Camp and elsewhere to him. Li Zhenhua accepted them all without any courtesy. Then let them serve as my soldiers and let them start building the Shanhaiguan Pass. The railway to Fengtian happened to have Xu Shichang in charge of them. Several people said that no one felt hungry at this time, but they were all a little hungry after the matter was finished. So the emperor immediately handed over the meal and asked them to accompany them to eat. Li Zhenhua still finished it quickly. The two who sat alone to drink tea had no choice but to accompany Emperor Guangxu to the end. Text Chapter 340 Keep an eye on Yuan Shikai Text Chapter 340 Keep an eye on Yuan Shikai Chapter 340 Keep an eye on Yuan Shikai Chapter 340 Keep an eye on Yuan Shikai Being able to accompany the emperor to dinner is a great honor, but in fact it is also suffering. According to Puyi's introduction in "My First Half of Life" The emperor wants to have a grand meal. Every meal and more than a hundred dishes are served. If the ones in front are cold, he puts them in the basket and continues to heat and keep them warm. Friends, can you imagine what the taste will be like if the fresh ones are cooked? What would it taste like if the rice was just cooked and the vegetables were fried again? As they said today, it took a long time and all the food was taken out from the thermal insulation basket, so what else is there to eat? Before eating various meals, the little eunuchs had to take some from each plate and eat them first, and then the emperor could eat. Since the table was too big, they all used long chopsticks one foot and two inches long (for those who are not familiar with it, you can eat it first). It¡¯s really not possible.) It¡¯s so far away that you can¡¯t reach it at all, so you have to ask the little eunuchs to come over to you. You can imagine how awkward this meal is. After the meal, Guangxu said to Li Zhenhua: "Go to the garden to the west to see the Queen Mother. She is also thinking about you very much." Li Zhenhua had no choice but to agree to Guangxu and let the two veterans accompany him. Naturally, it was Li Zhenhua who gave the order. They are drivers. In the evening, Li Zhenhua returned to his residence and several of his generals arrived. He told everyone about the discussion with the emperor and others today. At the same time, he decided on his own internal affairs. He went out to the expedition himself. Feng Guozhang was appointed as the chief of staff and Wang Shizhen was appointed as the minister of logistics but the minister of imperial envoy. In name, Xu Shichang was in charge of the entire army. The money will arrive soon. Wang Shizhen is responsible for transporting it to Tianjin and depositing it in his own bank in Tianjin. He can use it and withdraw it at any time. Ten days after the troops start their departure, they will hold the first military meeting in Jinzhou. After arranging everything, Li Zhenhua started to look at the intelligence he had recently received. As his secretary, Jin Xifeng had already classified all kinds of intelligence. In that part of the country, he saw an "acquaintance", that is, the famous Yuan Shikai. He has made meritorious service in North Korea in recent years. This time, he has been promoted to Zhili Inspector. When he became an official under Ronglu, the governor of Zhili, he was actually responsible for criminal and prison matters. Since he had the power to train troops in Tianjin and now he had nothing to do, he came here to serve as an official. This Ronglu was also a discerning man. He saw that Yuan Shikai had some abilities and recommended him to the emperor as the commander of the Wu Yi Army stationed in the east of Beijing. He was responsible for the training of Wu Yi Army. Li Zhenhua told the people in the Intelligence Department mn that this person should be strengthened in the future. If anything happens under surveillance, report it directly. Especially if I am away from Tianjin or Beijing for a period of time, I should pay more attention to him. However, this Yuan Shikai is a sensible man. If he wants to train the army well, the equipment must be improved. If the original equipment is not good, if the weapons are good, I have to say that Li Zhenhua¡¯s weapons are better. Even the weapons under his command are inferior to those of foreigners. There are some that I have never seen before. An arms supplier can never buy from others if they are placed so close. Whoever makes money earns money, so why not let the Queen Mother and the emperor's famous consort earn money? If they have a good relationship with their consort, there is absolutely no harm to themselves, because he and Xu Shichang have long been brothers, or he helped Xu Shichang pass the exam. So He established a relationship with Wang Shizhen through Xu Shichang. In this way, his men also obtained a lot of new equipment, and Xinghua Group Company also made a lot of money, which made his waist straighter. However, because these two are now Li Zhenhua's best friends and his relationship They only maintained a superficial relationship, but the two of them were very disgusted with his behavior. Their relationship was also mentioned in the report of the Intelligence Department mn. Li Zhenhua's instructions to Yuan Shikai on this issue were: "Pay attention to all the actions of this person." There is nothing new about the Russian army. It's just that they have slowed down their advancement. This is also easy to understand. That is, their front line has lengthened their logistics. The guarantee may be due to a lack of supply. This may be very big. The transportation lines behind are often attacked by the Chinese and materials are robbed, so there is no supply. Our commander-in-chief for this Russian attack is their Governor of the Far East (or Governor of Siberia), General Alexeyev, a favorite of the Russian Czar. It is said that he was once a naval general, but he But he had never been on a warship. Some people said that he was seasick. Later, he didn't know how he became an army general. But some people said that he became an army general because of the nepotism of women. Why are all the military leaders of the Russian army able to lead troops because they are women? Is this a Russian patent? In addition, his character is cruel, changeable and prone to anger. After finally reading all the information, he looked at the watch and saw that it was already past one o'clock. Then he saw that Jin Xifeng had fallen asleep on the table and drool was drooling from the corner of her mouth. He gently woke her up and asked her to come back.Gone to rest. Back in the bedroom, he said to Yaqi: "You prepare some gifts and go to the prince's house with me tomorrow. I heard they said that the sixth prince is not in good health recently. You should take care of him. Why do they say that they have raised him too?" You have been kind to you for so many years." "Okay," Yaqi replied, "I should go see him. I will go with you tomorrow." Prince Gong Yixin was in the late Qing Dynasty. A relatively capable senior official, he was able to strongly support Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhideng and other Westernization officials in their Westernization Movement, and therefore earned the title of "Japanese Six". This proved that he was a far-sighted person. At the same time, he was closely associated with Some Han officials in the court also had a good relationship. Because of his ability, he and the then young Cixi gained power in the Qing Dynasty through a coup. Empress Dowager Cixi was able to "listen to politics behind the curtain" and actually held the power of the Qing government for decades. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi also admired him very much. She added many official titles to him. After that, he was in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, the Prime Minister's Office of National Affairs, etc. He supported Li Hongzhang and other Westernization officials, which added some vitality to the Qing government at that time, and promoted the Tongzhi and Guangxu dynasties. It is very famous and is called "Tongguang ZTE" by some people. Later, due to Empress Dowager Cixi's failure in the Sino-French War, he and all the senior officials of the Military Aircraft Department at the time were laid off. Later, Li Zhenhua's appearance made him very happy. However, because of Li Zhenhua's maverick behavior, he never came to the front desk and kept hiding his power. He knew that sooner or later, this Li Zhenhua would not be willing to be subordinate to others. Therefore, his relationship with Li Zhenhua was superficial. He didn't walk too close. This was mainly to avoid suspicion. You should know that his sister-in-law was very suspicious.

He also hurriedly tidied up and came to the living room. Li Zhenhua had already entered and they had finished greetings. Li Zhenhua saw that the prince was seriously ill. Yaqi hurriedly gave the gift and sat next to the prince. Li Zhenhua told the prince about his strategy against Germany and the court asking him to leave the country and go to the Northeast. Yi Xin knew Li Zhenhua's situation and he expected such an appointment. He just said to him: "I'm going to the Northeast now." It's freezing. We need to pay attention to the non-combat attrition of soldiers and prepare for logistics. If the time is not ripe, it's not too late to wait until next year when the weather improves before fighting. I believe in your ability. The Russians are no match for you. They have already proven this in the northwest. It¡¯s just that Master Weng who went to negotiate with the Germans will have a hard time in the future.¡± Li Zhenhua thought to himself, even though he doesn¡¯t even know how to do it, his analysis of the situation is beyond what ordinary people can think of. So he told him that he had made a note that because of the cold weather, he asked Yaqi not to go to the Northeast with him anymore, and to stay in the prince's house for a few more days to greet the prince. He asked Yaqi to find some foreign doctors in Beijing or Tianjin to look at him. Yixin knew about those foreigners and did not reject Western medicine, so the matter was settled. Li Zhenhua didn't eat at the prince's house because he had too many things to do. Yi Xin also knew that she couldn't take the initiative to ask Li Zhenhua for anything. Maybe that person would pass the words to the Queen Mother's ears, and it would be difficult to say, so she sent Li Zhenhua out of the living room and stood there with him. He whispered to Li Zhenhua: "The situation in Beijing is not very good recently, so you should spend more time outside." Li Zhenhua just nodded to him and said: "I know all this, Your Majesty, please rest in peace and recover, and you don't have to worry about it. I will definitely do it." Take care of these things. "The situation in Beijing is not good. The most troubled people in the court now are the reformers headed by Kang Youwei. Li Zhenhua has no bad impression of these reformers. He has known from history classes since he was a child that these people started the reform movement for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. But their fate was too bad. They just carried out a For more than a hundred days, this reform activity was called the "Hundred Days Reform" in history. The political programs they put forward cannot be said to be borrowed, but their approach was too far out of touch with the reality at the time. Now that he was going to fight the Russian army, he didn't care about contacting these people. He just let them People will pay more attention to their actions in the future and report anything in time. If possible, they can cooperate with them, but they don't want their lives to be too short. It won't work if they are already finished as soon as they come back. The next day, Emperor Guangxu issued a series of imperial edicts in the court. First, he appointed Weng Tonghe as the imperial minister to negotiate with the Germans about Qingdao. Second, the governors and governors of each province immediately sent money to the Ministry of Household Affairs to deal with the Russian army invading the Northeast. Third, in the future, officials should not arbitrarily "report things based on rumors." If they must report, they must have evidence. They cannot act on rumors, let alone make personal attacks. Fourth, Xu Shichang is appointed as the imperial envoy to lead the war against the Russian army in Northeast China. The ordinary people were very happy about the above series of decisions, but the officials were not happy. As for Xu Shichang, they believed that he did not have the qualifications to be a commander, but since he was recommended by Li Zhenhua, they had nothing to do, but they all Shangzhezi opposed Xu Shichang and at the same time some people began to attack him personally. This time Emperor Guangxu's attitude was very resolute. He threw all their memorials to the ground and sent some unfaithful officials back to their hometowns and asked them to go back to their hometowns to hold their children. Guangxu was not disgusted with these people, but because of this It was an old system made by his ancestors, so there was nothing he could do. But this time Li Zhenhua used a trick to send troops secretly. He also had an excuse to control them and at the same time created some convenient conditions for himself. In the future, he would not have to listen to the instructions and accusations of those officials in order to do anything. The first batch of five million taels of silver arrived immediately. Xu Shichang and Wang Shizhen were responsible for transporting them to Tianjin first. They deposited part of them in the bank and the rest were directly distributed to the soldiers under their command. Before setting off, they had to be given to the soldiers first. It has always been a rule of the Qing Dynasty that we hang out for a while. Each unit began to move out and entered the Northeast in order. Xu Shichang ordered: He should leave the customs first. A military meeting of the main officers of each ministry was held in Jinzhou. This first military meeting was nothing more than arranging the military operations of each unit. Since the chief officer left the customs first, other people also There was no need to procrastinate any longer, so soon all departments began to take action. Jin Xifeng followed Li Zhenhua to Jinzhou. Before leaving, Li Hongzhang said to Sheng Xuanhuai that the railway in the northwest is progressing very quickly. The problem of railway tracks is now the most urgent. There is an iron mine in Jiuquan, Gansu. You need to make arrangements there and dispatch relevant personnel to conduct inspections there.When developer Sheng Xuanhuai agreed, he reassured Li Zhenhua that he would plan well. After arriving in Jinzhou, Jin Xifeng said to Li Zhenhua: "General, you only have 70,000 people under your command now. This is a little short of manpower. I want to go back to North Korea. The hand you originally left in North Korea should be let them use it now. Although many of the soldiers in the two divisions are Koreans, I think they should come out. If we add more than 20,000 people, wouldn't we have a better chance of winning? If the general agrees, then I will go back and be responsible for recruiting them. "Seeing that Jin Xifeng could think about himself like this, Li Zhenhua felt a kind of warmth in his heart. Yes, she was also thinking about herself. But during this period of time, she has been working silently beside him and helped him a lot. He has become accustomed to her being by his side. If she leaves, some things may be inconvenient for me. But it would not be a bad thing if an army composed of Chinese and Koreans appeared on the battlefield. You know that those Koreans are very capable of fighting. In later generations, Koreans are not afraid of trouble. With their own small country, they dare to fight with the United States. Of course, people are challenging them, but they have two big countries, China and the Soviet Union, behind them. If they have more troops, their chances of winning will be better, so let her go first. Anyway, this North Korea is also one of their subordinates. Let them send troops. It was also after considering his long-standing thoughts that Li Zhenhua agreed to Jin Xifeng's proposal. Text Chapter 342 Jin Xifeng¡¯s Thoughts Text Chapter 342 Jin Xifeng¡¯s Thoughts Chapter 342 Jin Xifeng¡¯s Thoughts Chapter 342 Jin Xifeng¡¯s Thoughts So Jin Xifeng started to prepare immediately. Soon she was ready. Li Zhenhua wrote her a letter, which was addressed to Jin Yongsheng, the top commander of the squadron in North Korea. This is the person Li Biao arranged in advance. He is a Chinese Korean. The letter said that he should follow Jin Xifeng's instructions and at the same time let Jin Xifeng go to North Korea in order to let her talk to the King of North Korea Li Xi. You can't take away other people's troops. People don't know, even though they don't dare to say anything, they should say it. , beat Jin Xifeng appeared in front of Li Zhenhua in the costume of a female soldier of the New Army. It is often said that a man depends on his clothes and his horse depends on his saddle. Jin Xifeng's outfit is much better than her national costume and her usual clothes. Li Zhenhua himself is a soldier, and he is very interested in military uniforms. Unique complex Now Jin Xifeng stands in front of Li Zhenhua with a valiant and heroic appearance. Li Zhenhua feels that of course she is more powerful than the actors in those Korean dramas. Although Li Zhenhua had never been with her, she always thought that she was Li Zhenhua's person. Today, they were about to separate. She felt a little reluctant to let this man who had completely occupied her heart stand there. Her eyes were already a little moist. . When Li Zhenhua saw it, he couldn't bear to let her go to North Korea in such a cold and snowy environment. Li Zhenhua couldn't bear to say, "Why don't you go and I'll let others go." It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve done anything for the general, so please give me this chance.¡± Li Zhenhua had no choice but to say, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you to come back.¡± Jin Xifeng paused and asked. He plucked up the courage and said, "Can you let me win you for a while before I leave?" Li Zhenhua made such a request without thinking. But since he asked what other people's requests were, he couldn't help but answer them now that they had made their requests. You must know that I have been quite indifferent to this girl for a while. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to nod. Jin Xifeng walked over, stood up on her toes, wrapped her arms around Li Zhenhua's neck and nudged him. Time seemed to have stopped breathing and stopped, only the two of them were lingering together. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Feng Guozhang came in with a gentle sound. When he saw the two of them having sex, he said hurriedly: "I didn't see anything, you guys go ahead." He turned around and came out again. Both Li Zhenhua and Jin Xifeng's faces turned red. Li Zhenhua's hand did not let go, and he lowered his head and said softly to Jin Xifeng: "You go, be careful in everything. No matter whether things succeed or not, you must protect yourself." Jin Xifeng said to him gently. He nodded and agreed. When he arrived at Mn, Li Zhenhua took a pistol of his own design from Sun Feihu. The pistol was named Xinghua 1897. Li Zhenhua said to Jin Xifeng: "Take this gun again, you will also be able to use it. It has strong firepower and is heavy." But it can protect yourself very well. "The security company that followed Jin Xifeng to North Korea had already assembled. Among them were a platoon of female soldiers, four cars, and a jeep. Jin Xifeng saluted Li Zhenhua, and Li Zhenhua returned the salute. She also saluted the soldiers and said to them: "I wish you a safe journey." Jin Xifeng waved her hand and led her accompanying team to set off. Li Zhenhua did not return to his headquarters until the car was no longer visible. A few days later, Li Zhenhua's military meeting in Jinzhou outside Shanhaiguan was held as scheduled. Senior generals from all armies came. Li Biao led his two division commanders Qin Guangming and Zhao Xiaofeng, cavalry commander Zhang Zuolin and his two division commanders Zhang Yang and Yang Yangtian. Artillery division commander Duan Qirui, from the headquarters are Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, and Wang Shizhen. From the Qing army are Nie Shicheng, Ma Yikun, Tureng, and Zuo Ygui. Heilongjiang General Shoushan and Deputy General Chang Rui are now besieged by Russian troops in Harbin and cannot attend the meeting. These senior generals sat in front of the table, and behind them there was a row of young officers. Their positions were relatively lower, that is, they were the officers in charge of the air force, the airship force, and the armored force. But soon they would all be from various branches of the military. Commander level. Because these were the troops ordered by the emperor himself, the generals of the Qing army had no choice but to fight against Xu Shichang, who had never led any troops. This made people feel uncertain, but they did not expect that it was Li Zhenhua who presided over the meeting. This made everyone feel very happy. They were originally afraid that they would be handed over to this scholar, but as soon as they saw Li Zhenhua appear, everyone felt relieved. The Shadow of a Famous Tree. Among those high-ranking generals, who doesn¡¯t know this person¡¯s reputation? Even though he is not very old, when have I ever heard of him being defeated in battles this time? That has never happened before. But why was Xu Shichang appointed as the Imperial Envoy instead of Li Zhenhua? People were confused and Li Zhenhua saw it.They immediately said to everyone: "Now let me tell you why the emperor arranged this. Now the Russian army is marching in four directions. They have been fighting smoothly. Now they are already arrogant soldiers. We just have to send out surprise troops to destroy them." Let them not know that I have arrived at the front line on our land. Let me talk about our military deployment." A staff officer opened the curtain in front of the map on the wall and a large map appeared there: "The current situation of the enemy. The Russian army has 100,000 troops stationed in the Harbin area. They are composed of three enemies. Excluding their logistical support, they should only have 110,000 to 20,000 people. In their southern section, they should have 60,000 people. Now these two Now we have to deal with this part of the enemy first. "Now I want to hear your opinions. How should we eat this first meal?" Officers are below. There was a raucous discussion about Li Zhenhua's appearance. They all felt that this time they would win a big victory. It turned out that the 100,000 Qing troops were defeated at the first blow against the Japanese army, which disappointed these bloody men like Nie Shicheng, Zuo Yinggui and others. They were fighting the enemy with their own soldiers, but their weapons were ineffective and the troops had not been trained for a long time. They retreated all the way. Later, it was Li Biao and the others who eliminated the enemy. Now when they saw that Li Zhenhua was in charge of the military in the Northeast, they felt confident. He expressed that he must obey orders and follow Li Zhenhua's command to fight back the enemy. Nie Shicheng stood up first and said to Li Zhenhua: "General, I have been fighting for decades, but we have never defeated the Japanese army. Today, under the command of General Li, we must defeat all the troops." The Russian army fought back. "But Zuo Yinggui said: "This battle is not easy to fight. Their army has more than 200,000 people. They are two or three times as many as ours." Text Chapter 343 Combat Deployment Text Chapter 343 Combat Deployment Chapter 343 Combat Deployment Chapter 343 Combat Deployment Other Qing generals partly agreed with Nie Shicheng¡¯s opinion and partly agreed with Zuo Yinggui¡¯s opinion, but no one of them put forward suggestions on how to fight. In their impression, fighting that war It turns out that the traditional method is that the two sides set up a sword-to-knife and gun-to-gun battle. If there are more people, they will take advantage, but the side with fewer people will not take any advantage. If the other side has less people, then the battle cannot be fought. Li Biao stood up and said to everyone: "These Russian troops have been fighting very smoothly all the way without defeat. Our army can only retreat step by step. They must be despising our army now. As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will defeat us." We must find a good opportunity to eliminate them all. " Duan Qirui stood up and said: "The Russian army is far more numerous than us. We cannot compete with them. We must make full use of our superior firepower to attack them hard. "Wang Shizhen said: "Commander Duan, I must ensure that your artillery shells are supplied to you as much as you need, and we will ensure that our artillery brothers will not wait for the shells." Zhang Zuolin stood up and said loudly: "Our cavalry troops must fight with theirs. The Cossack cavalry competes with each other to see whose sword is faster. Their cavalry can deal with our people, but we all have our own tricks to deal with their cavalry." Turleng, a Manchu officer of the Qing army, said: "You have a unique trick. What is it? Tell us and let us listen." Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "That means not using our powerful firepower to deal with them." "Is this called a clever move?" Several Qing generals laughed. At first they all thought Zhang Zuolin was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but Zhang Zuolin's words made several new army generals applaud. Even Li Zhenhua on the side laughed, but he was not mocking but smiling in approval for this future "King of the Northeast". Seeing what everyone said, Li Zhenhua signaled to Feng Guozhang. The Chief of General Staff of the New Army stood up and Feng Guozhang said to everyone: "Everyone said it well. Now let me tell you that the number of Russian troops opposite us is 200,000. On the surface, it is 200,000. It seems that we are at a disadvantage, but it is not true. Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Now we can't fight with the enemy head-on. What will we use to defend our land and people after all the people are wiped out? So we have to use our strengths? What are the shortcomings of attacking the enemy? What are our strengths? One is that we have good weapons and equipment. The other is that we are fighting inside and can well ensure our logistics supply, while the enemy is fighting from a distance. Their logistics supply has been greatly interfered with by us. There are problems with their logistical supply. Food, fodder, bullets, artillery shells, cotton-padded clothes and other military supplies are all restricted and affected. "We all know that no matter what we do, we must take into account the time, location, people and people." We have taken all of them, but our enemies have not taken any of them. First of all, the weather has entered the coldest time for us. Our winter clothes have been worn on every soldier, but only some of the enemy have been eliminated now. Secondly, Our geography is more advantageous than they are familiar with, but they are riding a blind horse, and their eyes are dark. The third is human beings, and they cannot take advantage of them. All the people in our country are against them and do not provide them with food. No one will even guide them, but our people are spontaneously attacking them and destroying their transportation lines. The hunters have regarded them as their prey, even the beards who dominate the mountains. They are robbing their food, weapons and all military supplies and destroying their transportation lines. This is all to help us fight against them." Everyone laughed when they heard this. Feng Guozhang finally said: "So we say that we will definitely win this war. We must concentrate our superior forces to attack the enemy's weak points, which will create our local advantage. Now, please ask the commander-in-chief to issue a combat order." Li Zhenhua told everyone The officer said: "Let me talk about our first phase of combat deployment Zhang Zuolin." Zhang Zuolin immediately stood up and replied loudly: "Arrival" "Zhang Zuolin will lead your two cavalry divisions to divide into left and right wings and advance covertly. Yang Yuntian's troops are at In the east, Zhang Yang, and in the west, you are responsible for cutting off the enemies who are advancing to Changchun, so that they can be separated from the enemies in Harbin. We will use our superior force to destroy them with our superior strength. You are also responsible for blocking the enemies who are escaping to the north. Today is November 30th. You have seven days to build field fortifications on the seventh day of the lunar month and complete the combat deployment. Complete the siege of the enemy on the east, west, and south sides of Changzhi before the night of the seventh day of the lunar month. Be prepared to attack the city, but be careful to avoid the main roads.Advance from both sides to take full advantage of your troops' skiing. " "Yes" "Duan Qirui" "Arrived" "Your troops will follow Li Biao's troops and select artillery positions on the periphery of the Great Wall to prepare for shelling the defenders in the city. The firepower of the four regiments must be concentrated. The heavy artillery regiment and the other two regiments are all deployed in the northeast of the city, and the artillery shell preparation must be sufficient. " "Yes" "Zuo Yinggui" "The mark is" Zuo Yinggui still likes to answer in the original way. "You first send ten battalions of 5,000 people to the Air Force to repair the field airport. You have to send capable subordinates to cooperate with them. . " "Get the order" "Nie Shicheng" "The bid is here" "Your department has prepared six battalions of 3,000 troops as suspected soldiers to arrive at the Tieling line on the seventh day of the lunar month. Then garrison. " Nie Shicheng said to Li Zhenhua: "General, what do you mean? " "What do you mean, your troops are trying to make the enemy think that first of all, we can no longer send reinforcements. Secondly, the reinforcements sent did not dare to move forward. You have to wait and see in Tieling. " Nie Shicheng's face immediately turned red. "General, I don't agree with you because you think my troops can't fight, right? Yes, the New Army troops have helped me many times. I can't be heartless, but the general's arrangement makes me feel uncomfortable. Aren't your troops also raised by their parents? Why can they go to the front line but my troops can't? " When Li Zhenhua saw Nie Shicheng's appearance, he said, "Okay, you guys, wait a moment for me to make arrangements before I can talk to you in detail. " "Xu Shichang" "Arrived" "You are responsible for all the remaining Qing army troops entering Shanhaiguan and Fengtian lines to build the railway from Tangshan to Fengtian. You are the imperial envoy. The sword above is in your hand. You know what to do. " "Yes," Xu Shichang, as the imperial envoy, replied loudly. This scene was a bit funny. The imperial envoy still had to listen to others. Text Chapter 344 Facing the Russian Army Text Chapter 344 Facing the Russian Army Chapter 344 Facing the Russian Army Chapter 344 Facing the Russian Army "Now the meeting is over and the troops have begun to take action. General Nie and the commanders of the special forces will stay." After hearing Li Zhenhua's order, everyone else left. He only left behind the young officers sitting in the back row. "The reconnaissance mission of the airship force will be handed over to you from now on. You must maintain long-distance observation of the enemy and report to the headquarters at any time. But before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, you cannot let the Russian army discover you. After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, you can do whatever you want." " "Yes" "Air force troops will immediately advance with the troops and cooperate with your Qing army troops to repair the field airport within two days and make preparations for aircraft transfer and be ready to enter the battle at any time." Get ready for battle outside the Great Wall. This is your first appearance. You have to make a deep impression on the Russian audience, but don't let others boo you. Like the air force, your main task is to summarize the various aspects of tanks and aircraft. This kind of data will be used to conduct actual combat tests on armored vehicles and aircraft so that the Ministry of Military Industry can have a real situation for future technical improvements. "Commander-in-Chief, we will definitely satisfy all the commanders." After everyone left, Feng Guozhang brought water to Li Zhenhua, Nie Shicheng and others. Li Zhenhua took a sip and said to Nie Shicheng: "Old General Nie, I admire you very much for your character and your troops. There are only one hundred people in the Qing Dynasty." Who among the tens of thousands of troops besides you can really fight the Japanese? You are the only one who dares to fight them. But you have not defeated them. Please tell me why you have not defeated the Japanese? " " " "Then, General Nie, let me ask you again, do you have any selfish intentions in dispatching the troops like this?" "I don't admire you very much, General Nie. To be honest, I intend to leave these Qing troops to you. The troops are all preserving their own strength, but you are not. You are fighting bravely with the Japanese army. You are defending this country and its people. This is what makes you worthy of admiration. But the real reason why you are not allowed to go up is not. This is because your weapons and equipment are too poor, and your war concepts are relatively backward. Now that we are going to fight the Russians, we can't let those good men below die again. We have to protect them. Of course, we are also protecting you this time. These armies given by the emperor are all good. They are all troops who dare to fight against the Japanese. I admire you, so I am determined to protect them. " "If your army has the same equipment as my army and can do it. Whoever goes up to defeat them will be the same. They are all fighting against foreign invaders. I will not compete with others for credit. You see, I am not even an imperial envoy, right?" Li Zhenhua laughed, Nie Shicheng and others also. Li Zhenhua smiled and then said: "General Nie, don't say anything. Your action is very critical in this battle. I hope the general can help me fight this battle." Li Zhenhua did not ask them to obey the order. The generals of the Qing army were very touched by asking them to help them. They have such a high level of command and they have official positions. They don¡¯t need to say anything and you have to listen to them. But they are very fond of these old people. It's admirable that this guy pays equal attention to the main task. Several people went out together, but Nie Shicheng stayed. At this point, Nie Shicheng had nothing to say. He was dedicated to serving the public, but he was fighting for one breath. Comparing himself with him, he seemed too inferior, so he turned to Li Zhenhua. Said: "It seems that when we are really old, your world will be yours. I want to say here that I hope you can give me a chance to kill the enemy. When I go back, I will retire and return to my hometown." "General. No need to" Li Zhenhua said: "You won't be willing to leave the battlefield now. Why don't you go to my military school in the future? You can use your abilities there and you can cultivate more good soldiers for us." " Thank you so much, General." "Then let's do this. Once your troops are stationed in Tieling, your troops can move up quickly once the enemy's encirclement is completed. But we said that when the time comes, you must ask the troops below to obey the command. We are not going to fight the enemy, but to destroy them." "The general thanked the commander-in-chief for his kindness." After saying that, he knelt down on one leg and saluted Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua hurriedly helped him up. After sending these people away, Li Zhenhua began to receive other people. They were senior technicians in steel and coal. Li Zhenhua's request to them was to let them go to Fushun and Anshan immediately to inspect the steel and coal mines there.Conduct a comprehensive investigation to prepare for the large number of captives they will have to do after they build their own steel and coal mine bases. In the future, the Northeast will be in our own hands. With the huge energy resources in the Northeast, we can show our talents here. If we have this huge industrial base in the Northeast, there will be no problem facing the world. All the troops were moving forward quickly and covertly. On the road, a Qing army was slowly marching forward. They arrived at the front line of Tieling in seven days as planned. It is easy to say that, but it is not a long-distance march in this ice and snow. What a good thing, the cavalry is okay, after all, it is a fast unit, but it is difficult for the infantry. It is not easy for the Qing army to walk hundreds of miles just with a pair of feet. Nie Shicheng's Qing army was the closest and they could still walk on the main road, but seven days was still too tight for them. So the old general kept urging his subordinates to speed up the march. He used the distance and difficulty of the new army. To compare with their own troops, the soldiers of the Qing army admired the new troops very much. They had to walk more than a hundred miles less in the same time, while others had to walk more than a hundred miles more, and they were all Marching with heavy loads made some bloody men among the Qing soldiers speed up their march. The logistics troops of the New Army also followed closely behind Nie Shicheng's troops. Cars, carriages, and horse-drawn plows unique to the Northeast were all heading north. Finally, they arrived in the Tieling area. They began to station themselves and stopped moving forward. They seemed to be afraid of those people. The Russian army did not dare to move forward. They sent out sentries to conduct reconnaissance in the Chang area and then reported back to their superiors. Text Chapter 345 The Russian Commander¡¯s Emotional Exchange Text Chapter 345: The Russian Commander¡¯s Emotional Exchange Chapter 345: The Russian Commander¡¯s Emotional Exchange Chapter 345: The Russian Commander¡¯s Emotional Exchange Other New Army soldiers could still take the high road at the beginning, but later they were overtaken It will be more difficult for those Qing troops to march after that. They have to leave the main road and enter the mountain roads to avoid being discovered by the Russian reconnaissance troops. However, because they have gone through hard physical training and daily cross-country long-distance running training with heavy loads, they can perform well here. played a huge role. During the snow march in the Northeast, every soldier had to walk the rest of the time except when going up the mountain. If they were going downhill, they would use skis to advance. They joked: "In the past, marching cost shoes, but now marching costs gloves." Everyone listened. They all laughed happily and the lively atmosphere made the fatigue of the march disappear without a trace. The march of the New Army soldiers was not as hard as the soldiers of Nie Shicheng's army. There were many accompanying cars, they could carry some infantry, and with the original hard training, they were able to persevere. The grassroots officers were all with the soldiers. There were many Their "double guns" are essentially different from the "double guns" of some Qing troops. Who doesn't know that the Qing army's double guns refer to a musket and a smoking gun? ah. All the officers and soldiers of the New Army encouraged each other to move forward and arrived at the designated place within the specified time. Logistics transportation also followed Nie Shicheng¡¯s troops in a timely manner. Various vehicles and sledges were moving forward on the snow. Their speed was not slow at all. They were a front-line army composed of a large number of ordinary people. The top commander of the Russian troops stationed in Changchang is Army Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Yeguoer. At this time, he is in his headquarters. The recent progress of the Russian army has been very smooth, which makes him very happy. He gave himself He and the chief of staff each poured a glass of red wine. He raised his glass to signal to the chief of staff, shook it gently for a while, took a shallow sip, and drank it in one gulp. He said to his chief of staff, Major General Kutlev. Said: "My dear friend, the Chinese are vulnerable. I don't understand why the Japanese were defeated by them." The chief of staff frowned and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think their elite troops have not yet been defeated." We haven't encountered their main force yet." "No, no, no," Vasily said, "My friend, they don't have any elite troops. We have come in thousands of miles. If they had, they would have been there long ago. Their elite divisions have come out and are still in their northwest battlefield. "The chief of staff was dissatisfied. He always felt a sense of danger about the current situation, but he could not convince his superiors now, so he had to suppress his opinions. In my heart. An officer came in and reported to the two men: "Your Excellency, according to our cavalry reconnaissance, a supporting force of the Qing Army came to the Tieling area and they stopped moving forward. They only sent a small force to conduct reconnaissance here." "They have." "How many people?" "About Sanwu?" "Do you know whose troops they are?" "It seems that their banner is the troops of the Qing Dynasty general Nie Shicheng." "This is a very capable force. They are the only ones who can fight the Japanese army in the battle." The chief of staff waved his hand and asked the officer to go out. He walked to the map on the wall and looked at it carefully, then measured it with his hand and said to Vasily. : "Now it seems that the supporting troops dare not move forward. We have to find a way to eat them." "Dear friends, there is no need for them to come. Just let them stay there. If they dare to come, His Majesty the Tsar will heroically The warriors are going to destroy them. Our Cossack cavalry are already worried. We must not let them send reinforcements to Harbin in the north. " "Yes, general, we have to send reconnaissance troops to keep an eye on them if we find them. As soon as there is any news, we will take action and be ready to eliminate them anytime and anywhere. ""Just yesterday, our troops outside Harbin successfully launched an attack on the Chinese. It is estimated that this city called Moscow of the East will enter us soon. The territory of Tsarist Russia." "Okay, dear friend, go make arrangements and prepare to entertain our guests." The chief of staff went out and said to his guards: "Go and leave my secretary in Lika. Mrs. Eva, please come. I have something to ask her." After a while, a beautiful Russian captain and female officer walked in with a twist of water snake waist. Her fair skin and big blue eyes looked particularly beautiful with her golden hair. m people. Ryulikayeva's position in the army is the general's captain secretary, but her most important task is the commander's lover. She first winked at the commander and then said to him: "DearCommander, are you looking for me? " "Yes, don't you think we should have a good exchange of feelings now? "The female captain walked up to the general, picked up her heels, kissed the general tenderly, and said to the commander: "Dear sweetheart, I am at your call anytime, anywhere. "The commander hugged the female secretary in his arms and walked towards his inner room. The military uniforms were thrown under his lips one by one. Soon the room was filled with harmony. After a while, the two men's heavy breathing could be heard. The guards outside mn were relieved when the female captain screamed with pleasure. The general and his beautiful female secretary were having an emotional exchange. The commander would not cause trouble below, but their emotional exchange was beyond anyone's control. What cannot be disturbed is no matter how urgent the military situation is, no one will look for it by themselves at this time. If the commander is unhappy, there is only one end. A group of off-road jeeps is on a hill five kilometers southeast of the Great Wall. The horses and horses were parked there. Several tall antennas had been erected on the hill. Several telephone lines led to the distance. A group of soldiers were busy there. A generator truck was working. The radio operators wore headphones on their heads and were communicating with various people. The troops made contact. This is the frontline headquarters of the New Army. A group of senior officers on a hill near the city were observing the Great Wall in the distance with telescopes. Among them, a staff officer ran over and saluted Li Zhenhua and reported. : "Reporting to the commander Zhang Zuolin that the cavalry troops have completed the blockade of the commander. They have established fortifications and captured an enemy transport team. " Feng Guozhang said on the side: "The big one in the north has been closed by them. Let's see how we can blast them out and beat them. "No problem, they will definitely come out. Let's go around to see the preparations of each unit." " It is better to ride a horse than ride a car to the army, so several main generals and guards followed them to the army below. Text Chapter 346 Artillery Observation Post Text Chapter 346 Artillery Observation Station Chapter 346 Artillery Observation Station Chapter 346 Artillery Observation Station Li Zhenhua and a group of staff officers first went to Zhang Zuolin in the north to take a look at Zhang Zuolin and their field fortifications. Li Zhenhua said to Zhang Zuolin: "You have to be special. Pay attention to be prepared for a two-front battle. There may be enemy deserters in the south and enemy reinforcements may appear in the north. Then you will be a mess." "No problem, it will be fine if they come together. We have made two preparations. The main thing is. The second step in destroying the enemy is to repel the enemy's reinforcements, "Zhang Zuolin said in a row. Looking through the telescope, I can see that Zhang Zuolin has formed a three-layer defense line against the enemy. The first line is a line of skirmishers. Behind them are heavy machine guns and mortars. The second line of defense is at the battalion level. That firepower The configuration is even more powerful. In the end, it relies on the fortifications built on the hillside behind it. There are already strict barriers here. Without cannons to open the way, it is impossible. In this way, Zhang Zuolin still left a reserve team. Let me say here that Li Zhenhua¡¯s cavalry unit is actually just for quick action. He has never thought of using cavalry to directly fight the enemy. Now he uses Zhang Zuolin with the same intention. He rushes here quickly and starts to prepare to block the attack as infantry. Enemy battle. Li Zhenhua came to Duan Qirui's artillery headquarters again. Duan Qirui had already marked out the terrain outside the Great Wall. Each small square grid had been accurately measured. At that time, it was just a matter of which small square was sent out below. The phone line had already been set up and reached the artillery headquarters at the regiment level. On specific positions, each regiment concentrated its artillery in several places to guard against the enemy's counterattack. The general principle was to place them separately and concentrate their attacks. The forward artillery observation post is on a hill more than a thousand meters away from the enemy. There is an artillery staff officer in charge. His name is Qi Xiaowei, a senior staff officer trained by Duan Qirui. This is also derived from Li Zhenhua's tactics. They are responsible for indicating the enemy's position to the artillery behind them. Here, they can know everything about the enemy and observe the enemy from a high position. Currently, Western countries still use direct visual command for command, but Li Zhenhua has already asked the troops to conduct over-the-horizon operations. When the artillery fire is carried out, the artillery can be commanded only through the artillery observation post. Now the range of the cannons produced by Xinghua Group Company has reached eight thousand meters and sixteen miles. If you directly use vision to aim and shoot, it is just an international joke. You can't see the opponent at all. How can you shoot? ah? That can only be nonsense. Therefore, it is necessary to set up an artillery observation post in a place where the enemy can easily be observed. The main function of the observation post is to observe the enemy. Another important task is to tell the artillery group what you know about the situation so that they can shoot at a specific target under their command. Their observation equipment is two high-power telescopes that can directly observe the enemy, as well as communication facilities. Their communication facilities are also very interesting. They mainly use telephones, but they used two lines because they were afraid that the telephone lines would be damaged by artillery fire from both sides during the battle. There is also a radio station and the original semaphore communication method, which can be said to have added three insurances. "The chins dropped off due to the cold during the twelfth lunar month and the twelfth lunar month." Others said, "The whole family froze to death during the twelfth lunar month and laba ba." This all means that the coldest time has come in northern China. Tomorrow will be the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and all the troops will be there in two days. Everything is ready. Even Nie Shicheng's troops have rested. Li Zhenhua already knew through various channels that all the troops were ready. His request to the troops was that everyone should have a good rest tonight. He would start attacking the enemy early tomorrow morning. All the troops began to rest according to his order. Only the sentries were still faithfully there. Stay at your post. He already knows that the Russian army has launched an attack on Harbin. The Chinese defenders cannot withstand the enemy's attack. As a city, Harbin is a city without city walls, so it is even more difficult to defend. In this era, city walls are definitely It can have a very good defensive effect, but Harbin does not have such a city wall, so their defense will be much more difficult. Li Zhenhua must eliminate this part of the enemy as soon as possible so as to destroy Harbin's offensive and reduce the damage of the war to Harbin's defenders and people. The Russian Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer in the city was having emotional exchanges with his lover every day. He already knew the news that Chinese reinforcements had arrived, but what he didn't know was this time. What came was no longer the original Qing army, but the New Army troops whose combat effectiveness was second to none in the world. At the same time, he did not expect that the Chinese troops would come so quickly, so he did not take this matter to heart at all.It's a time of ice and snow, which is not a good time to start a war. When they come, they can only form a siege outside the city. It is impossible to attack them. The cold weather is a natural ally of the Russians. They are located in the north. Their physical constitution is much more cold-resistant than the Chinese in the south. Moreover, they are in They were in houses in the city but the Chinese were in tents in the wild. If there was a strong wind and heavy snowfall, it would be even worse for them. But the difficulty now is that some troops do not have cold-proof equipment in place. The supplies should have arrived a long time ago, but those Chinese hunters and those "bearded men" are always robbing those military supplies on the way nng. I still have many. The soldiers had no cold-proof clothing. Vasily didn't take the other reinforcements seriously at all. He just sent a team of cavalry to Harbin to notify that Chinese reinforcements were coming. He had already blocked them in the south of Changzhou. But what he didn't know was that his A group of signal soldiers had not even arrived in Harbin and had all been thrown into his prisoner camp by Zhang Zuolin. Every day, he and his lover are still enjoying their daily work, which is drinking and dancing in a warm room, or making lip movements with Captain Ryulikaeva to further communicate with each other. A Russian army officer came outside the Russian army headquarters. He wanted to report the situation of the squadron to the commander, but the guards in front stopped him because the general was now "working" and no one was allowed to enter. The officer said to the guards: "I must see the Commander. If you delay the matter, the Commander will chop off your head." Text Chapter 347 Fire at the enemy Text Chapter 347: Fire on the enemy Chapter 347: Fire on the enemy Chapter 347: Fire on the enemy But the guards who knew what their commander was doing would never let him in. At this moment, the chief of staff, Major General Kutlev, happened to leave. Coming over, he stopped the quarrel between the soldiers and asked the officer to report to him. The officer immediately saluted Chief of Staff Kutrev and said: "Chief of Staff's squadron has now begun to surround us." Upon hearing this, the Chief of Staff immediately increased his attention and asked: "How many people do they have?" "There are about three or four thousand people." "What?" Major General Kutrev really wanted to give him a big mouth. A city as big as this has only a few troops to guard it. If you want to surround it, at least it will be necessary. There must be 50,000 to 60,000 people. It is not possible for a small county to complete the siege with just a few thousand people. Such an idiot is surrounded by thousands of people and wants to report that he is really nosy. It is better to let him directly disturb the commander and let him deal with this idiot. Kutrev turned around and left, but he stopped just after taking a few steps. A staff officer's instinct told him that something was wrong. There must be something wrong. The officer came to report it. He stopped and said: "Go faster and take the lead." Let me go to your city wall to take a look." When Kutrev came to the city wall, he raised the telescope in his hand and saw that the squadron had indeed surrounded the city. There were more than a dozen people in the squadron on the opposite side every seven or eighty meters. There, they are only four hundred meters away from the city wall, which is the maximum range of their rifles. Once the bullets get there, there is no accuracy or power to speak of. If you use cannons to hit them, it is okay, but if you use solid bullets, Shooting has no effect, but if you use explosive ammunition, you can't bear to do it. Even if you fire dozens of rounds, you may not be able to hit a few people. I don't have many explosive ammunition in total. My army's shooting ability can only be used to deal with the enemy. It is used when the group charges. Not far behind is their tent. The officer under my command is right. They only have a small number of troops. Based on the density of their troops, they are about three to four thousand people. This is completely different from the original Qing army's combat situation. It's different from the original Qing army. When they arrived, they sent out as many people as they could and stood there densely packed with countless flags, such as the flying dragon flag, flying tiger flag, etc. One of the big flags had the commander's surname written on it, which was his own solid cannonball. It was possible to defeat them all, but now Kutrev thought to himself, what are they doing? Do they want to attack us with just these people? This is too impossible. The guns in their hands are of no use against the city wall we are holding on to. If the guns in their hands were turned into cannons, it would be almost the same. But where would they go to find so many cannons? Kutrev was relieved and said to the officer: "These Chinese people are full and have nothing to do and are just standing there to show off. Ignore them, but you have to continue to observe them and report to me if there is any situation." "Yes. Chief of Staff. "Major General Kutrev went back. He didn't know that the weapons in the hands of the Chinese were sniper rifles that could attack the enemies on the city wall. As long as they entered their sight, it would be an explanation. Mortars can also hit the soldiers on their walls. But the real strike here isn't with those long-range artillery pieces known as the Gods of War. The Chinese are definitely not fools. They will not joke with the lives of soldiers. However, it is the Russians' business to consider the problem based on the original concept of war and to look at China's new army with the same eyes as the Qing army. The weather here is really too cold. The Russian soldiers on the city wall are so cold that they are beating back and forth on the city wall. Just being calm makes them unbearable. How can they think about anything else? What we are thinking about is that we are cold. The Chinese are also cold and everyone is cold, so let¡¯s just keep fighting like this. But the soldiers under the city wall are all equipped with good thermal insulation measures. The tents are just below the surface. They have already dug bunkers. After going down, the temperature will be much higher than the surface temperature. At the same time, their bodies are also very warm. There are some coats made of animal skins outside the cotton-padded clothes. As a squad unit, they started eating under the eyes of the enemy. Everyone had some self-heating cans. Twist the handle below with your hands and soon the cans would be hot. After eating, use the can box to hold it in your hand. Can be used for heating. I heard from the soldiers in the logistics department that they used something that is easy to obtain (quicklime) and put it underneath with water on top. When you twist it with your hands and pour the water into it, the reaction will start immediately and the can will heat up on its own. However, in the current climate, they need to be heated first to allow the water inside to liquefy before they can react. There are many kinds of canned food, including meat, vegetables and beans. You can eat whatever you want. However, the soldiers at this time still like to eat meat.It's been too cold for many days and I need more calories, which comes quickly. There is also a burning bng used to ignite a fire. It is just an object larger than a cigarette. You can scratch it on the shell of a grenade or something iron and it will light itself up. Just put a few handfuls of firewood and you can keep warm. This is a good thing for use in the wild. One thing to note is that you can't let them suffer. The Russian soldiers on the city wall were not so lucky. They could only retreat into their bunkers in the cold temperature. They lit piles of bonfires to keep warm. When the cold became unbearable, they went outside. Turning around in a circle, stomping their feet and running for two steps, none of them had the intention to take a look at the situation outside the city. They just mentally counted the direct female relatives of their commanders. Chief of Staff Kutrev did not explain the situation to the commander. He thought it was meaningless. Those people could not form an attack force. They just had to make a report to the superiors to complete the encirclement of the Russian army. On the New Army artillery position outside the Great Wall, there are some 60- and 80-mm mortars closest to the city, and those 75-mm cannons farther away. What can't be seen further away is the 105 imitation Krupp heavy artillery manufactured by his own arsenal. The artillery had already sent some test shots to the city in advance. The artillery shells landed accurately where the enemy's garrison was concentrated, but they quickly stopped firing. The Russian officers thought it was the artillerymen of the squadron who had arrived at their garrison. Where they did not take these situations to heart. The sky has slowly brightened. The clock hands are moving towards the time of six-thirty. That is the agreed attack time. Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang and the staff officers in the headquarters are all looking at the clock. The clock hands are pointing to six-thirty. Li Zhenhua Said to Feng Guozhang: "Let's start." Feng Guozhang took the microphone in his hand and shouted loudly at it: "Fire". The order was transmitted to each artillery unit under the conduction of the telephone line. Soon, more than 100 soldiers from several artillery regiments The artillery and some small artillery also started a fierce bombardment on the enemy's garrison in the Great Wall. Text Chapter 348 Fierce shelling Text Chapter 348 Fierce artillery shelling Chapter 348 Fierce artillery shelling Chapter 348 Fierce artillery shelling At this time, it was the shortest day in the Northeast, and the sky had not yet fully lighted up. The Russian soldiers had not even raised their lips. The fierce artillery fire started. The entire Russian military garrison was covered in thick smoke and fire. The Russian soldiers lying in bed were blown up by cannons. Those who were better off woke up from their dreams. They didn't bother to put on their clothes and walked out of the house. After rushing out, they tried to find a safe place, but countless artillery shells fell from the sky and continued to attack them mercilessly. The infantry camp was fine, but the cavalry camp was not. Those tall war horses went crazy together. They were running around. They didn't know what was going on. They just knew that their lives were threatened. They were just running around like crazy. At this time, they They didn't even recognize their masters. They just rushed forward regardless of whether there was something in front of them. Some lucky cavalrymen caught their own horses. They didn't care about their other equipment and just rushed outside on horseback. Countless soldiers died under the hooves of their horses alone. The artillerymen were even worse. Under the ruthless attack of the artillery fire, their artillery shells also exploded. They had no idea where the Chinese artillery shells were flying from. No one would even think of attacking the other party's artillery. They just knew that they themselves Ran for his life. The Chinese soldiers outside the city wall who thought they posed no threat to them also began to attack them. The fireworks on the top of the city were the best indicators. The small mortar shells flew directly towards them, killing the Russians. The soldiers were bombed to the sky. Fortunately, they were not killed. They were running around on the city wall, injured, crying and howling. The snipers would not let them go, and they immediately began to shoot them accurately. The Russian troops on the city wall immediately fled to the bottom of the city wall. The Russian troops on the city wall were knocked unconscious. The soldiers in the barracks also fired a few rounds of artillery shells to blast open the east mn entrance. The smoke in the city mn had not yet cleared. A commando team rushed up in front of them in the morning glow. It was the machine guns on the three wheeled armored vehicles that were firing a dense rain of bullets at the Russian defenders. A company commander rushed at the front of the infantry. He roared and shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers, follow me. Charge and destroy those old men." The soldiers rushed forward behind the armored vehicle. Nowadays, infantry and tank cooperative operations have become a mode of modern warfare. Infantry and armor cover each other and move forward. When they find the enemy's fire points, the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles clear them out. Now there are no artillery on the armored vehicles, only heavy machine guns. The infantry behind them only have those. Semi-automatic rifles only make the work of loading easier. One reload can be used to fire ten times. The Russian army only needs to load a bullet once to fire, so they only have time to be beaten. At dawn, the Russian troops who were fighting in a group discovered that several more flying machines were flying above their heads. They dropped bombs on their heads where the Russian troops were concentrated. The officers who were running around couldn't find their soldiers, and the soldiers couldn't find their commanders. At the headquarters, Feng Guozhang said to Li Zhenhua: "You should take a rest. You have been too tired these two days. Good news will come soon." "Li Zhenhua stood up and stretched and said to Feng Guozhang: "Yes, good news is coming soon. Let's go outside and take a look. I don't want to rest yet." The two came to the cannon outside the mn. It has basically stopped, but fierce fighting is still going on in the city. A staff officer said on the side: "We have rushed in." Feng Guozhang said: "They should understand now and will organize resistance immediately." "Let's take a look and then talk about it," Li Zhenhua said: "If they want to resist, they have to really understand it." South and West Mn are also under the control of the Chinese New Army soldiers, and there are gunfire and artillery sounds everywhere. China The soldiers of the new army followed the armored vehicles and advanced deep into the enemy. The armored vehicles in front covered the infantry behind and rushed forward. The infantry behind also covered the armored vehicles as they advanced. Suddenly, a Russian officer on the opposite side led a group of cavalry. He rushed toward the armored vehicle with his saber raised high. The Russian troops nearby who were responsible for covering their charge had a heavy machine gun in their hands that kept firing at the armored vehicle. Bullets hit the vehicle and sparks appeared. Their impact speed was very fast, but the machine gun on the armored vehicle was also firing at them desperately. The soldiers were also firing bullets at them quickly. Most of the cavalry fell down. Only a few cavalry were left who rushed in front of the armored vehicle. They held their sabers high and slashed hard at the armored vehicles, but the armored vehicles only made a few steel noises and some sparks. One cavalryman's sword had already had a gap. The other one was even worse. The saber in his hand had already separated from the one in his hand. The knife handles were separated, and when they were stunned, more bullets found them and beat them into sieves. Lieutenant General Vasily woke up from his sleep, disheveled, and stood beside him?The room was roaring loudly and the sound of artillery had been going off for such a long time. He still didn¡¯t understand what was going on. Wasn¡¯t he in a hurry? Finally, an officer rushed in in a panic regardless of etiquette. He hurriedly said to the commander The report said: "The city was under heavy shelling by the squadron." The lieutenant general rushed up and gave him a hard slap in the face and shouted loudly: "Don't I know about the shelling? Where is the chief of staff? Where did he go?" His subordinates None of those people can answer, right? Where is the chief of staff? Why can't I see him? Only the captain of the guard was more courageous. He walked up to the commander and said: "Sir, it is impossible for us to hold on to such fierce artillery fire. Please change your clothes quickly and let us protect you and rush out." "The female secretary, Captain Ryulikayeva, also came over and cried and said to him: "My dear, it's not going to work. Let's run away." Vasily kicked her and Ryulikayeva screamed and fell to the ground. At this time, she didn't dare to cry or call out. She was afraid that the crazy general would kill him with a single shot in anger. In her opinion, the idiom "beautiful women bring disaster" can also be used in the Russian army. Vasily finally stopped his hysterical attack and sat on a chair. A few people came in carrying the bloody Chief of Staff Kutlev. It seemed that he had been hit by a shell. Several people took care of the Chief of Staff and released him. On the chair. Chief of Staff Kutrev panted and said to the general: "The city has been violently attacked by Chinese artillery. The three east, west and south cities have been lost. The Chinese have rushed in. Now only the north city is still there." In our hands, Your Excellency Commander, we are in trouble. Hurry up and give the order to retreat from Bei Mn. If it is too late, it will be too late." Your Excellency, Commander, who has no idea now, has no choice but to follow the advice of the Chief of Staff and order the troops to start moving through Bei Mn. Retreat in the direction of Harbin. Text Chapter 349 Falcon Attacks Text Chapter 349 Falcon Attack Chapter 349 Falcon Attack Chapter 349 Falcon Attack The New Army soldiers who entered the city launched a siege against the Russian army from the east, west and south. According to the plan, they wanted to attack the Russian army. The army pressed out of the city so that their artillery could deal with them. They used the method of advancing hand in hand in the city to push the Russian army northward. The long-range artillery now has gradually become thinner. Because there are fireworks everywhere in the city, the artillery observation post in the distance is Duan Qirui could no longer see clearly what was going on in the city, so Duan Qirui had no choice but to ask them to stop shooting. Blind shooting would destroy people's houses and may also accidentally injure one's own people. This was something his commander-in-chief would never allow. The Russian army, which had been completely defeated, could not organize effective resistance against the squadron. Seeing that most of the Russian army began to retreat to the north, the troops behind them also began to run towards the north. Only a small number of troops were still resisting the squadron. Bullets, grenades and artillery shells kept exploding around them. Those who were escaping didn't care about anything. They only hated their parents for having two legs and scrambled to escape northward. The squadrons behind them only used weapons to attack them from a distance. Even the armored vehicles were advancing slowly. If they didn't rush up to fight them, it was as if they were seeing them off. Li Zhenhua, who was on the high ground in the distance, saw that the enemy had run out of the city and said to Feng Guozhang: "They are still really obedient. They told them to run from Bei mn and they carried out it seriously. It will be up to Lao Zhang next." Infantry Good news from the siege troops kept coming. Now most of the city is in his own hands. At this time, Li Zhenhua said to Nie Shicheng, who had been standing aside for a long time: "How about letting your troops go up? The swords in their hands are at this time "It's the most effective." "Thank you, Marshal." Nie Shicheng turned around and was about to run away. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stopped him and said to him, "Let them run out and we will destroy them on the ground and then use the cavalry to encircle and annihilate the infantry." Nie Shicheng ran. When they got out, Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang laughed. "This old general is really good." Li Zhenhua said. "His troops will have no problem dealing with the fleeing Russian army without too many casualties." "I hope he can understand our combat intentions." "As soon as the shelling below stops, our air power will come on board." We need to see how they performed in battle." A staff officer next to him immediately passed on the order. Just a dozen miles southeast of Changchun, the aviation troops of the New Army were busy. With the help of a new group of Qing troops, they quickly established a field airport. At this time, the field airport was much simpler. The aircraft Because there are three runways for simple aircraft, which are more than 100 meters long, the aircraft can fly with only a few dozen meters. They didn't bother. They just smoothed the snow and cleared away some small trees and rocks that hindered the plane. They used various tools to smooth the snow and then marked it with soil on both sides of the runway. That's it. They built a high platform on one side. There is an obvious wind vane on the control tower, and there is also a tall radio antenna. It can be said that it is as simple as it is. The soldiers of the Qing army were muttering in a low voice while they were working: "What is an airplane? Can that thing really fly?" A sensible person next to him said: "Since my husband-in-law said it can fly, then it must be When can you fly, have you ever seen my brother-in-law fail to speak well?" "Yes, if we follow the brother-in-law and we won't suffer any losses, we will definitely defeat those old men this time." "Just hurry up. Let the brothers of the New Army look down on us. "The biggest workload is assembling the aircraft. Since there are not so many airports along the way, we cannot directly transfer the aircraft by flying. We have to transport the aircraft directly and then go to the battlefield. Assembly is a work that only professional personnel can perform, and most of the personnel can only watch from the side. But the technical content of the aircraft at this time was relatively low. Next to the mechanic, there was a group of infantrymen helping to lift some parts. Professionals were assembling them. Originally, these tasks were not the responsibility of the pilots, but they wanted to prepare them as soon as possible. We also participated in the assembly work together. As a result, there were not many people watching from the side, and everyone started working together, and all the preparations were quickly completed. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, people began to get anxious when they heard the fierce sound of gunfire in the distance. Airships also began to take off to fight, but there was still no order to let the aircraft participate in the battle. The commander of the Air Force, Gao Xiang, was also anxious, but he had to Standing by the side of the plane, ready to take off for combat at any time, he had no choice but to order one of the most astute staff officers to personally stand by the side of the radio station. I was afraid that the radio operators might have delayed the order. If those radio operators weren't all female soldiers, I'm afraid he would have scolded them. "Telegram from Counselor Wang"said a telegraph operator. "Are you ready to let us go?" The female soldier did not bother to talk to him but carefully copied the numbers. A telegraph operator next to him saw the anxious expression of the commander in the distance and hurriedly read the telegram slowly. came out: "Falcon Attack" The air force staff officer shouted: "The order is coming, let us attack quickly and send the signal." A correspondent outside the mn immediately fired a green S flare into the sky. This was a signal of preparation, and it was also urgent. Air Force Commander Gao Xiang and his pilots saw the signal and rushed to the plane. With the help of the ground crew, they boarded the plane and turned on the power. With the help of the ground crew, the engine ignited the propeller at the nose of the aircraft. Fly. On the tower in the distance, there were two more green S flares. It took off and the brakes were released. The plane began to glide forward faster and faster. When it reached the end of the runway, the front of the plane was lifted up. The plane left the ground and flew into the air. The fighter planes behind also followed closely behind their commander and took to the sky. The ground crews didn't have much, but this surprised the Qing troops. This man could really fly. He saw the plane disappearing in the distance. Some ground crews were busy again. They had to prepare supplies for the next attack. It turned out that The plan was to have the planes go to the warehouse to load bombs and fuel. Now when the ground crew saw that there were too many people on their side, they immediately changed their original method and loaded all the bombs on the plow. As long as the plane After landing on the ground, all the plows are quickly pushed to the front of the aircraft by manpower for replenishment, which saves a lot of time. Text Chapter 350 Tie your pockets tightly Text Chapter 350 Tie your pockets tightly Chapter 350 Tie your pockets tightly Chapter 350 Tie your pockets tightly The plane left the airport. Gao Xiang and the others pounced directly to the northwest without using any navigation or piloting. The fighting scene there is the best. The navigator controlled the oil and gas to the maximum. The wind blew from the side of the windshield, making people a little breathless. The main thing was the cold. Although they were wearing flight suits made of the best deerskin and there was a layer of cotton clothes inside, it still made them feel uncomfortable. It was so cold that I couldn't stand it. The temperature on the ground here is about ten degrees below zero, but the temperature on a flying plane is much lower. I guess it should be more than thirty degrees below zero. Gao Xiang and the others lowered their heads so that they were hidden behind the windshield. That would be fine. Some. A few minutes later, the plane arrived at the sky above the battlefield. He made a gesture to the plane behind him and rushed towards the enemy. General Vasily, who rushed out of the city, was relieved. The Chinese artillery was so terrible. How could they have so many artillery? In the blink of an eye, nearly one-third of his army was lost in the artillery fire. One person's own cannon was already dead without even firing. The unlucky chief of staff didn't know what happened to him at the moment. Fortunately, he reminded himself to retreat quickly. If it hadn't been for him, he would have turned into a dead body by now. Run quickly. If he can't come back, you should treat his family better as compensation for him. The large group of Russian troops followed their commander and ran quickly to the north. The squadron attacking the city has been divided into two parts. A small part of them is responsible for cleaning up the remaining Russian troops in the city. Most of the Russian troops have already pursued them. At this time, the armored troops have brought into play the strengths of their mechanized troops. Twenty armored vehicles are already chasing quickly in front. The enemies are all tire-type, that is, armor is added to the chassis of the car. After they overtake the enemy, they will divide and intercept them on the spot, trap the enemy's follow-up troops there, and let the infantry behind them catch up and deal with them twice. After the siege, most of the Russian troops began to surrender. Nie Shicheng's Qing army quickly chased the enemy with cavalry. They just used machetes to chop them from behind. Although they achieved some results, they were far behind compared with the new army. His infantry only had some fast legs that could catch up. The enemy but some Russian soldiers who desperately escaped caused some casualties to his troops. Listening to the fierce gunfire on the Great Wall in the south, Zhang Zuolin, who was waiting for encirclement and annihilation more than ten miles away, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot (this metaphor is not a good metaphor, but he was really anxious) in front of his headquarters. As he kept walking, the riding whip in his hand was already rotten. What was going on? He was constantly whipping the rocks on the ground with his riding whip. Finally, through the telescope, he spotted a small group of his own cavalry running towards him in the distance. Yang Yuntian and Zhang Yang came over and immediately shouted: "Commander, our scouts are back." "What a fool, you guys have been waiting for you to come back. You are about to scare me to death. Hurry up and get them over." The reconnaissance squad leader ran directly over on horseback, turned over and dismounted, saluted Zhang Zuolin, and reported to Zhang Zuolin breathlessly: "Commander, the Russian troops have run out." In fact, there was no need for him to report that the defeated Russian troops in the distance had already appeared. It turned out that the snow was white on both sides of the road. A band of black Russian defeated soldiers more than a mile wide has appeared on the ground, and they are swarming towards here. Zhang Zuolin smiled when he saw it and said to the two division commanders Yang Yitian and Zhang Yang: "Hurry back to your posts. If you let an old man escape, I will blame you. Pass my order to withdraw the troops on the front line." There are too many people on the second line and the first line is useless. All the troops are ready for battle. "The soldiers on the first line quickly retreated into the second line of defenses. Every soldier had their guns ready. They were all aimed at the swarming defeated Russian soldiers. The enemy was running in front of the cavalry. After all, they had four more legs. They formed a dense skirmish line and routed the Russian army here. Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer was among the Russian cavalry group. It was only a dozen miles away. Chinese planes and airships in the sky were constantly dropping bombs on the areas where they were crowded. This also indicated the target to the artillery and infantry behind them. The artillery on the ground accurately landed on the fleeing people. in the team. What did these Chinese do? How could they shoot so accurately? The shells landed wherever there were many people. The entire escaping team was cut off by the Chinese again and again. The number of troops who escaped here is estimated to be less than 20%. It turned out that the terrain on the opposite side was not very good. Although he was a fool, he also saw that the terrain here was extremely unfavorable to him. He slowed down his horse and began to observe in the distance, but the soldiers who had lost control were still there. Rush forward quickly. Suddenly, an orange-red light appeared in front from west to east. Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer knew that it was caused by a large number of shootings. He couldn't help but have a cold war. The cunning Chinese were here.There is a blocking force arranged here, but they have no choice but to let the soldiers fight desperately to open a bloody path. Only by rushing through can there be any hope of survival. If they can't get through, it will be over. The Russian cavalry who were escaping forward were like a group of grain boys in the field. They fell one by one in front of the squadron's attack. The Russian soldiers who were still lying on the ground cried loudly, but they soon stopped. There was a sound, and the cavalry behind them rushed up again. They were trampled into mud by the horses. However, new casualties and cries appeared again. Although the Russian soldiers were very afraid of the Chinese artillery, what really scared them was the screams of the wounded soldiers, which made the faces of the Russian soldiers change. The Chinese blocking them were facing them with dozens of heavy machine guns (of course there were also light machine guns, but they couldn't tell them apart.) There were also those iron guys who were not afraid of bullets who were also firing tongues of flames at the outside. The guns in the hands of the infantry fired bullets at them quickly. The small artillery shells kept flying down in the charging group. Some soldiers were still throwing an unprecedented bomb at the charging cavalry. They were unprepared for this wave. The charge had killed and wounded hundreds of Chinese people, and nearly a thousand soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness. At this time, Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer knew that he had to rush forward no matter what, otherwise he would die. Text Chapter 351 Air Combat (2) Text Chapter 351 Air Combat (2) Chapter 351 Air Combat (2) Chapter 351 Air Combat (2) A group of officers who fled in panic gathered around the commander and faced the result of the first attack in everyone's heart They are all cold. The weapons of the Chinese are really dangerous. Not to mention the intensive artillery fire, there are also some weapons that have never been seen before. When did the Chinese become so powerful? It¡¯s useless to think of anything else, just look at what¡¯s in front of you, Vasily. Lieutenant General Matkin Ye Guoer said to them: "We have no choice but to fight desperately to open a bloody road and let the Tsar's warriors prepare to charge. 8 Rapid Updates" By this time, the Russian army was also very efficient. They quickly organized a team with infantry in the middle, cavalry on both sides, and some Russian musicians who had escaped. Their snare drums and musical instruments were still with them and they had not been thrown away, so they started beating and started their own again. charge. Before World War I, the charges of some powerful military powers on the European battlefield were very particular about momentum. They were arranged in neat and dense formations, guarded by cavalry on both sides, and protected by heavy machine guns. Musicians in the army played military music and beat big and small snare drums. The drumbeats are accompaniment to the charging troops. The troops marching in neat formations place great psychological pressure on the enemy. In many cases, they are already overwhelmed by the momentum of the enemy's defense before the enemy's main group even arrives. The soldiers began to rout, but in front of them were China's New Army troops. The outcome of their approach depends on the actual situation. A person in the front of the Russian army was hit by a bullet and fell down. The people behind him immediately came up to replenish the shells. When the shells fell in the queue, the soldiers at the back also replenished the front. Of course, it turned out that most of them were solid bullets and had little effect on the marching queue. Moreover, the original artillery attack was a rough attack and did not pay attention to the current precise attack. It was not until the end of World War I that all countries understood that this kind of fine tradition was just a living target for the enemy. By World War II, there was no such situation. However, later, when the Italian army occupied Albania, it also dealt with local guerrillas. Used. Now this wonderful scene was played out in the black soil of China. This shocked the squadron who had never seen their charging form. What happened to them? Did he come here to die? They came to perform a guard of honor, so some soldiers even forgot to shoot them and just stared blankly at their "death guard of honor." Five hundred meters away, they were marching with the rifles of the soldiers on their backs. For a team of more than 2,000 people, it was still very spectacular. After entering five hundred meters, under the loud orders of the officers, their rifles were already taken from their shoulders, and they were all ready. With a gun gesture. The uniform sound of the Russian military boots on the frozen soil really gave people a shocking feeling. After entering 300 meters, the Russian soldiers took off the bayonets hanging from their waists and put them in front of their rifles. They were about to make the final charge. After 150 meters, they accelerated their pace and advanced to 50 meters. The real charge began, everyone shouted "Ula!" and rushed forward quickly. But the squadron did not wait for them to start the final charge. When they were a hundred meters away from the position, various weapons began to attack them. Light and heavy machine guns began to shoot. The infantry also began to attack the soldiers with grenade launchers in their hands. With some sharpshooters, they had to deal specifically with the heavy machine guns on both sides of the Russian army. The task of the mortars was to block the sh-fire and hit the shells in the Russian charge formation. When the enemy got closer, the soldiers began to attack the enemy. Throw grenades. For a time, the soldiers in the front of the Russian queue kept falling down, and in the queue behind there were clouds of fireworks. Many soldiers were blown up by the shells, and a large number of Russian soldiers fell in front of the squadron. Just as the Russian infantry began to charge into the battle, the enemy cavalry on both sides also began to speed up. They began to charge towards the two wings of the squadron, but the light and heavy machine guns equipped on the armored vehicles and on the ground fired tongues of fire at them. Countless Russian cavalry fell under this ruthless fire net. Planes and airships appeared again in the sky. They kept throwing bombs at the enemy's dense areas and at the same time shooting at the Russian troops on the ground. The opponents on the ground did not care about where they were, and they also cared about the blows from above. ah. But there were also some Russian soldiers shooting into the sky, but the planes and airships were well protected, but it had no effect at all. It turned out that the plane pilots had a layer of steel plates under their feet to protect themselves. They quickly jumped over the enemy's heads. Flying over, they had no time to aim and shoot, and it would be useless if they fired bullets. Their range of only 400 meters was of no use to the aircraft flying quickly. Those airships had a layer of steel plates underneath to protect themselves, but they attacked them from a height of five or six hundred meters. The enemy's rifles couldn't reach this height at all, so the Russian troops were unable to attack them. . As soon as those aircraft ran out of ammunition in their hands, they immediately flew back and asked their logistics personnel to quickly replenish them with ammunition. Only then could the pilots take a rest, but even when they were resting, they kept urging the ground staff to be sure. You need to speed up the game, it's the tense time ahead. This time the Russian army failed again. They left hundreds of corpses and wounded soldiers in front of the position. They retreated in embarrassment, but instead of letting them go back on their own, the squadron launched a countercharge and sent them off again. Seeing that his team had left a pile of dead bodies and retreated back, Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer's eyes were red. He must not die here. He ordered another organized charge this time. He did not let those The musicians were probably doing what they were doing. They were probably all dead. He ordered a group of junior officers to form a death squad. At the same time, he organized a supervising team behind them. Behind them was a row of soldiers facing him. row of bayonets. He said to the death squads: "For the honor of the Tsar, you must step on the Chinese, otherwise we will be dead." Those officers and soldiers knew that now they could only fight to the death, or they would have to kill everyone. They died here. Their charge team set off again. This time they launched a group charge. They dispatched nearly 3,000 troops. Text Chapter 352 Victory in the first battle Text Chapter 352 Victory in the first battle Chapter 352 Victory in the first battle Chapter 352 Victory in the first battle Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer heard the roar of machines coming from behind him again. This time it was not the sound of airplanes, but the sound of those who were there. The sound of running on the ground. Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer knew that he was dying. Could he really die here? He raised the binoculars in his hand and saw more than 20 damn running cars appearing from the pursuers behind him. Along with them appeared again those Qing soldiers with pigtails. They rode towards us on their horses. The Qing soldiers were already red-eyed. The cavalry and armored soldiers quickly charged towards the two wings of the Russian army. The purpose is very clear, that is to make their dumplings. Behind the squadron's fast force was a large mass of infantry rushing towards here. The rearguard and wings of the Russian army were already engaged with the squadron, and soon they were squeezed into it. The troops are on duty. Now if you look at it from the air, you will see a circle of people wearing miscellaneous clothes. The new army has a uniform with a helmet on its head, while the original Qing army has a red and white old-fashioned military uniform with a helmet on its head. A warm hat for winter. Most of the Russian soldiers in the middle are wearing black military uniforms. When Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer was anxious, suddenly there was the sound of artillery shells tearing the air from the sky, and then a large number of artillery shells were pouring on their heads. As soon as a shell fell from such a dense shelling, a large number of soldiers fell down. There were dozens of them. Lieutenant General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer was desperate. The officers and guards below were also there. Looking at him in panic, he could only say: "Hold it, hold it back." Suddenly a shell exploded nearby, several guards flew into the sky, and an officer pounced on him, but his thoughts at this time were already gone. stopped. The commander's injury prevented him from commanding his troops. Even if the soldiers around him tried not to hit them, they had no way to let the opposing squadron know that the opposing cannons were still hitting the soldiers of the surrounding squadrons. They were still there. Shooting at the Russian army in the encirclement. But the soldiers on the periphery ignored all this. They raised their hands and surrendered to the squadron. The soldiers tore off their white underwear and hung them on their guns, shaking and surrendering to the squadron. Li Biao and Nie Shicheng, who were among the pursuing troops, saw that the enemy had completely lost their will to resist. They issued an order to separate and encircle the troops. Immediately, more than a dozen red-S flares flew into the sky. The fierce bombardment immediately stopped in all directions. The squadrons launched the final charge against the Russian army. The infantrymen held rifles with bayonets in their hands. The Qing soldiers took out their swords. They shouted "Kill" and "Charge" together and charged at the already panicked soldiers. A mass of Russian troops rushed forward. The broadswords in their hands slashed at the invaders who still wanted to resist. The bayonets in their hands stabbed the enemy's chest. The Russian soldiers who were in a group saw the squadrons rushing towards them from all directions. The Russian soldiers raised their hands and knelt on the ground and surrendered. Soon, the Russian soldiers were divided into countless small groups and were quickly overwhelmed by the squadrons. Went out. The enemy now only had the Russian commander and a group of people resisting. However, Vasily's adjutant saw that the situation was over and had to order his men to raise the white flag. By this time, he and his soldiers had done their best for the Tsar. When the Russian "death squads" who were attacking saw that the supervising team behind them was gone, they quickly stopped the attack and ran towards the back. However, the soldiers behind had already jumped out of the trenches and chased them. The Russian soldiers looked at the front and rear. There were angry Chinese people on the left and right. Like their compatriots, they knelt on the ground and raised their hands to the Chinese. Soldiers from various units are cleaning the battlefield, but the senior officers have gathered together. They are preparing the next attack plan with Li Zhenhua. He saw Zhang Zuolin grumbling angrily: "My cavalry has become an infantry today. The battle was finished without even using the saber. What's the matter?" Li Biao said to him: "Old Zhang, this is But you all heard what you said about fighting the enemy without sabers, right?" All the officers laughed. Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but said: "You can all do it. Even General Nie's troops have killed many old men, but we are alas." On the other side, Nie Shicheng was whispering to Li Zhenhua. At this time, he took over and said: " Lao Zhang, if you hadn't blocked the enemy, we wouldn't have gained so much." The officers also said in unison: "That's right, if your cavalry hadn't blocked the enemy, we wouldn't have been able to annihilate them all. " Li Zhenhua walked to the table with a smile and said to everyone: "Okay. Lao Zhang, your troops have made a great contribution this time. Without your tenacious resistance, we would not have been able to annihilate them.Below the enemy, your cavalry will quickly advance to rescue the besieged Harbin. " After hearing Li Zhenhua's words, people stopped talking. Everyone sat together and began to listen to Li Zhenhua's arrangement of the next battle plan. After this battle, those people admired Li Zhenhua's combat command ability even more. Li Zhenhua smiled and asked everyone: "This is the first time. We have achieved a great victory in this battle. I would like to hear your opinions on how we should fight next. " People became quiet. "In this battle, the strength of our troops compared with the enemy's was one to one point two, that is, our 70,000 troops versus the Russian army's 60,000 troops. This is also because we caught the enemy off guard. The enemy doesn't know it yet, but they are very aware of it. We are about to learn something about us. Now there are twice as many enemies in Harbin as here. How can we defeat them? " Duan Qirui said first: "We can't use the method this time. Our shells have been used a lot this time. If the replenishment is completed, it will take at least half a month. This half month is our secret. No matter how good the enemy is, he can still find out through other means. " "But if we want to let the enemy go and we feel uncomfortable, we still have to find a way to retain the enemy and try to annihilate them all. "Feng Guozhang also said on the side. Text Chapter 353 Senior Prisoner of War Text Chapter 353 Senior Prisoners of War Chapter 353 Senior Prisoners of War Chapter 353 Senior Prisoners of War When people heard this, they began to think about it. Seeing that the war concepts of these generals have been greatly improved, Li Zhenhua was very happy. Now the questions they raised are correct. What I am thinking about now is how to destroy the enemy and prevent them from running away. What I care most about is that I have eaten 60,000 enemies in one go. If the enemy is timid, they will run away in a short while. This is between me and these generals. They don't want to see it, but how to keep them is the most important thing. Chief of Staff Feng Guozhang said: "I don't think the enemy will run away quickly because they know they have 60,000 people. We will eat them, but they will definitely feel that we have to lose 50,000 to 60,000 people. So I think if we are not in a hurry to save Harbin, they will definitely come to take revenge on us. As long as they divide their troops, we will have an opportunity." Wang Shizhen said immediately: "That way we will have time to make necessary reinforcements." "But one thing is going to be difficult for our Qing army brothers in Harbin. They look down on us." Commander Qin Guangming said with some worry. Everyone's eyes turned to Li Zhenhua again. Li Zhenhua's brows relaxed when he heard everyone's words. He already had a way to deal with the enemy in his heart. When people saw his expression, they also felt relieved. Li Zhenhua saw that everyone was looking at him, so he smiled. He first asked Zhang Zuolin: "How many troops can you use now?" Zhang Zuolin immediately said: "My 20,000 people They can all be taken into action immediately. " "It doesn't have to be so many. Just pull out 10,000 of the second-line troops you left behind. Those who are overworked don't need to move." Seeing Li Zhenhua start to speak, people also became excited. "Your second-line troops themselves have many soldiers of the G ancient tribe. You ask them to wear the original clothes of the Mng ancient tribe to reinforce the Harbin garrison from the southwest of Harbin. After arriving at the outskirts of Harbin, you only send a battalion of troops into the city. Reinforce them and your other troops will stay outside Harbin to make the enemy think that this has nothing to do with our new army." The other troops took a short rest and then secretly moved northward. We only left a small number of troops here to guard the Russian prisoners. To create the illusion that we don't even have enough people to guard the prisoners, we can also let them take the opportunity to run away and find ways to attract the enemy to attack us. " "If the enemy comes less, we will fight them back. If they come more, we will make dumplings for them again." "Feng Guozhang added, and made a dumpling-making gesture with his hands. All the generals laughed together. By the evening of the next day, the cleaning work on the battlefield was completed. This battle wiped out a total of 63,200 enemies. More than 100 people were killed, 37,643 were captured, and more than 53,000 guns, four bullets and cannonballs were seized, not counting seven horses. More than a thousand horses of grain, a batch of more than 600,000 catties of fodder, and a large number of other military supplies cost more than one million Russian gold rubles. In addition, my own losses have also been reported. Overall, it seems that the losses are not big. I have sacrificed myself. Four hundred and twenty-seven people were injured, and more than 1,300 people were injured. Nie Shicheng's number was similar to his own. But if you look at it this way, the losses to Nie Shicheng's troops would be too great. But Nie Shicheng was very happy, but he had never fought so beautifully. The highest officer among the prisoners of the Russian army is General Vasily Matkin Yeguoer, Chief of Staff Major General Kutlev, and Vasily¡¯s beautiful lover Captain Ryulikaeva is also in the prison camp. The army provided relatively good conditions to several Russian generals. General Vasily Matkin Ye Guoer was only shaken by the Chinese cannon and there was no problem. However, his chief of staff, Major General Kutlev, was injured. The shrapnel was heavier and hit him in the chest and head. This was considered his fate. After being treated by the new army doctors, there was nothing wrong with him. If Rurikayeva took advantage of the general, it was up to her to greet her lover. General. Those soldiers were not treated so well. Some of them were not even wearing cotton-padded clothes when they were caught, so they had to be dealt with. They had no choice but to take off the clothes of their dead compatriots. They have screened those with special skills and registered them separately and held them in separate jails. They must be given special care. For ordinary people, they can just take care of the food. In addition, some dishonest people are also held in separate cells. If they are disobedient, they will be given the word "death". Let them disappear on their own. These people cannot be controlled. If they are fed, they will make trouble. Nothing else. These prisoners are what Li Zhenhua values ??the most. They must be protected because the construction of the entire heavy industry base in Liaoning is important. It's up to them to be obedient and take the initiative to work. If they don't obey, they will be forced to work. Isn't it easy to divide them? It only takes two days.Conquer them. Soon large numbers of prisoners began to be escorted south, with only those singled out who were willing to cooperate. Moreover, the skilled personnel simply let them sit in the car. The personnel escorting them were also very kind people, and they were called senior prisoners of war. However, there was no such good treatment for the others. They could only walk to Liaoning by themselves. went. This time Xu Shichang, as an imperial envoy, took the initiative to greet the court. Firstly, he wanted to reward his people for the victory. Secondly, he wanted money. In addition, he had to eat 60,000 people with 70,000 people. His losses were not small, but The specific number was not stated. Even so, Emperor Guangxu was greatly happy. In addition, the battle situation was also reported in newspapers, but in order to paralyze the enemy, there was no fanfare and only some brief reports. It's just that the enemy was wiped out and the losses were huge, but no specific figures were given. The work of replenishing supplies is also going on in full swing. This is no small matter. Wang Shizhen is desperately urging her subordinate companies and the Ministry of Transport to send them the needed supplies within a time limit. So there were all kinds of vehicles transporting arms from inside the pass to outside the pass. There were cars, carts, horse plows and even long camel teams. Someone was responsible for all the work, but another of Li Zhenhua's tasks was to summarize the new weapons. He asked the commanders of each unit and corresponding technicians to accompany them and asked them to make detailed reports to Li Zhenhua. The weapons he produced had not been passed. Such a big battle brought many problems to light. Text Chapter 354 Summary of new weapons Text Chapter 354 Summary of New Weapons Chapter 354 Summary of New Weapons Chapter 354 Summary of New Weapons People from the light machine gun test team first spoke about the shortcomings of the light machine gun after this battle. It is because the steel does not fit the barrel of the light machine gun easily. The barrel of the gun will be hot after 20 minutes of continuous firing. Fortunately, in this winter, the problem would be even greater in the south. By half an hour, the barrel of the gun is already red, so it can only be used in battle. You need to stop firing to cool it down and wait until the barrel is cold before continuing to fire. Li Zhenhua asked them how to solve this problem. They felt that the way to solve the problem was to reprocess the steel to meet the requirements as much as possible. As a time traveler, Li Zhenhua knew about this problem in the future, so he told them that you can consider using spare barrels in the future. Several technicians felt very good about their commander-in-chief's idea. If there were two or three spares, Gun barrels can solve this problem in combat, which is much better than letting them cool down naturally. Then there is the problem of armored vehicles. Today's armored vehicles use wheels to march on the snow. They slip a lot. Although they are equipped with anti-skid chains, the effect is not very obvious. Secondly, the internal temperature is too low. Some soldiers have frostbite on their hands. It should be increased. The third temperature measure is to consider installing artillery on them to increase their firepower. The fourth is that the smoke emission in the fighting room is not smooth, which affects the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. The excessive bumps in the vehicle affect the accuracy of the shooting. da8 rapid update Li Zhenhua thought to himself: "All the problems have been raised. These problems were not solved until World War II. These people can really think about it." So he asked: "What kind of solutions have you considered?" So those people began to talk again: the current model can be used on high-end roads. If you consider using the style of your own crawler tractors on snow and mud in the future, you can consider using the hot water from the water tank in the internal combustion engine for water supply. The third problem of heating up in the car is that it is no problem to install an mn 37 cannon according to the current space. The solution to the fourth problem is to add a small electric fan in the car and use it to discharge the turbid air in the car. Finally, the suspension principle of the car is borrowed to stabilize the body and increase the accuracy of the impact. He felt very gratified to see his people being able to raise questions and actively solve them at the same time. With people like this, it would not be too far for China to become truly powerful in the world. He stood up and expressed his gratitude to these soldiers and technicians. His admiration for them was beyond words. He said to them: "Do a good job, brothers. Our motherland will definitely be proud of having you. If any other problems are discovered, You can come to me directly and I will work with you to solve the problem." The combatants and technicians of the armored vehicles all smiled happily. Li Zhenhua said to them again: "Next step, you have to use high-intensity marching to detect them. That is to use emergency marches to carry out future armored vehicles, but we need to make them adapt to various environmental road conditions, whether it is snow, ice, rain, etc., so that they can fight. ¡± All researchers and researchers of the armored forces. The combatants happily accepted the order. The plane is below. They are the farthest away, so they are the last to arrive. As a time traveler, Li Zhenhua is definitely dissatisfied with the current aircraft, but the current appearance is already very good, so let's make them better. If you want to make your air force lead the world in future battles, then It is necessary to continuously improve them. If you don't make progress, you will fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten. He knows the history of China very clearly. Now that he has come to this world, he cannot let his motherland be the same as before. Those in the air force also put forward more suggestions for improvement in the actual combat of the aircraft. It turned out that Gao Xiang had conducted extensive exchanges with the ground staff, and he personally wrote an inspection report on the aircraft, which was about the speed of the aircraft. It would be great if you can raise questions about issues such as range, range, altitude, insulation, and increased bomb load. If you have a goal to strive for, you can move forward. The technical staff also analyzed the report of Commander Gao Xiang and put forward many opinions. Of course, these improvements can only be solved by returning to the factory. The other one is the rifle grenade designed for the infantry. It is very powerful in battle. It is mainly used as a supplement to grenades and mortars in the mid-range area. It is mainly used for point and surface anti-personnel weapons used at close range. It is mainly used to kill living targets and destroy various light weapons. For example, the opponent's heavy machine guns and snipers may also be used directly to destroy the enemy's artillery and other targets. In this battle, these grenades played a very good role in destroying the enemy's heavy machine guns, andThe blows from the crowd showed its power. Li Zhenhua feels that they should be a relatively mature weapon. Soldiers also feel that it is very good in battle and can be promoted in large quantities in the army. When asked about the use of 1897-style pistols by junior officers, people expressed their greatest preference for loading more bullets and fierce firepower. It would be better if they could load more bullets in the future. When asked about their shooting situations, they said that it was no problem as long as It has a horizontal grip, so there is no problem at all when shooting. The shooting accuracy is quite high, and it does not affect the speed of the shooting at all. Li Zhenhua feels that it is good to use the Russian army to test new weapons. If it were not for their invasion, it would be difficult for him to find such a suitable environment. I have to thank these old guys for continuing to test in the next battle. . Since there has been no news about the Russian army in the southern region for a long time, the commander-in-chief of the Russian expeditionary force, the Governor-General of Siberia, General Alexeyev, began to worry about the long-term Russian army. It turned out that it was almost clamoring for supplies and materials every day. Now it has become ten He didn't ask for anything. At first, he thought he had no worries. But as time went by, he felt that there might be something wrong with the defenders. But even if he was preparing for the worst, he never thought that his 60,000 people would be captured. Worried that all the Chinese would be eaten, he had to send a small group of troops to reconnoiter, but the squadron had blocked the road to the south and the reconnaissance troops could not get through at all. Text Chapter 355 Reinforcements broke into Harbin Text Chapter 355 Reinforcements broke into Harbin Chapter 355 Reinforcements broke into Harbin Chapter 355 Reinforcements broke into Harbin At this moment, a Chinese army appeared due west of Harbin. This was an army wearing MNG ancient costumes. The Cossack cavalry were a little afraid of their arrival. They were afraid of these ancient Mng people from the bottom of their hearts. This had historical reasons, because from the Yuan Dynasty, the iron cavalry of the ancient Mng people had reached as far as Egypt and appeared under the city of Moscow, which is now Russian. . And these people are very capable of fighting. Our own cavalry can't reach them at all, but there are not many people watching them, so the cavalry of the Russian army are not afraid of them. Their small force of several hundred people relied on intensive firepower and even rushed into the city of Harbin. They had already joined the squadron that was engaged in street fighting with the Russian army. It seemed that Harbin was not easy to capture. They had surrounded it for nearly two days. It has been months since the weather has been too cold and I have relaxed my attack here. Now they are surrounded by the Russian army and they are completely isolated from the outside world. When the weather warms up, I will attack them again and they will starve to death or freeze to death. It was estimated that they would have no fighting capacity by then. Unexpectedly, Chinese reinforcements appeared and joined them. The Governor of Siberia, General Alexeyev, finally received a piece of information sent back from China. It turned out that this was information provided by Cassini, the Russian minister in Beijing. He said that the Chinese had sent reinforcements to the northern front, but their There were very few people, only 70,000 main troops, and 30,000 others. The original top commander of the Qing army (imperial envoy) was a civilian named Xu Shichang who had never commanded a battle. This made General Alexeyev very troubled. First, he was a civilian official, and he was a civilian official who had never commanded an army. Second, their army only had 70,000 people. His army even surrounded the city. It¡¯s not enough. The 60,000 people we are growing are even if we don¡¯t do it ourselves and let the Chinese chop them down, it will take time, right? But why would they block the growth? This really puzzled General Alexeyev. The battalion commander who rushed into Harbin was called Ning Hao. He was a veteran who had participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. On the way in, they paid a heavy price and killed and injured dozens of soldiers. But because they were well prepared, they finally went in to meet them. When he arrived at the deputy general Chang Rui, the Heilongjiang general Shoushan had died in battle a few days ago. Ning Hao originally had no good impression of those Manchu generals, but seeing Chang Rui covered in blood deeply moved him. His subordinates also More than a thousand people were all injured. If the Russian army hadn't relaxed its attack and wanted to starve and freeze them to death, they would all have died long ago. It turned out that they had three forts outside the city of Harbin, but under the heroic attacks of the Russian army, the three forts fell one after another. Nearly 10,000 Qing defenders and the local people were also injured, and most of them were forced to turn to street fighting. They retreated step by step. Fighting to the death with the Russian army. Because they were very good to the local people when they were stationed, and because they were resisting the invading army, the common people supported them without hesitation. When they ran out of ammunition and food, they sent them food, guns and ammunition for the dead and wounded Russian soldiers. Only then did they persist until now. They originally thought that Chaoting could not save them, but they did not expect that a strange army would fall from the sky and come to them. Ning Hao distributed various supplies he brought to everyone. At the same time, he treated the wounds of the injured soldiers and civilians, allowing them to have a good rest. He ordered his men to take over the task of defense. Chang Rui led Ning Hao in After walking around for a while, Ning Hao had a better understanding of his position. When he walked to a house, Chang Rui said to Ning Hao: "There is a tunnel here. It was built by a wealthy family and can lead to the enemy's back." If you can't stand it anymore, you can escape from here." Ning Hao said to him, "Then why didn't you escape?" Chang Rui said, "No, this is our land and cannot be occupied by the Russians. Even if I die, I will die here. " "Well done to you for not letting the enemy in for our country. You are not afraid of sacrificing your life. Tell you what you can do. We can do it. Now let me tell you. Now we can do it. The place is too small. There are five or six hundred people here. If the enemy shells hit us, we will suffer heavy casualties. I decided to expand this place and ask Lao Mozi to make some room for us. Please tell me if you have any. What a good idea." Chang Rui pointed to a tall house about three hundred meters in the distance and said: "By knocking it down, we can expand our area and control the situation nearby. The threat to us there is now. The biggest enemy there is more than a hundred people." "That's good. Put two machine guns there and you can control the whole area." Ning Hao said, "Third company commander, send a platoon there. Get it for me." "Yes."The third company commander replied: "I have long been dissatisfied with it. " The third company commander ran to organize the attack. He said to a platoon leader: "You take down that high house and then occupy it and push the enemy down. " Soon a squad of soldiers began to move there. The fire platoon and other soldiers in the company were also ready to support them. Heavy machine guns and mortars were all aimed at there. There were also a few holding a kind of weapon in their hands. The soldiers with strange rifles also pointed their guns there. There was a barrel on top of their guns. Chang Rui was a little confused about how a dozen soldiers in a squad dealt with more than a hundred people, but he knew that everyone could do it. These people must have their own fighting style, otherwise they would not use only a dozen people in a class to fight more than a hundred people. The attacking methods of those warriors are very unique, but the distance between them is very far. They were divided into several group leaders. They were carefully covering each other as they advanced. They made full use of the terrain and features to cover themselves and slowly approached the enemy. Soon they were more than fifty meters away from the enemy. Those Russian troops After discovering that they entered the position and started shooting at the soldiers, their doom came. When they fired the first bullet, they heard a gunshot and a Russian soldier was hit on the head. Then there was a burst of gunfire, and the Russian soldiers were almost there. They were all beaten to the head. The Russian heavy machine gun rang out, but there was a "boom" on their side, and a small shell flew over and hit the enemy's heavy machine gun accurately. The two Russian soldiers hit each other in the hand. The heavy machine guns stopped firing and their muzzles pointed toward the sky.

Text Chapter 356: This is not a foreign drug, it is produced by us Chapter 356: This is not a foreign drug, it is produced by us Chapter 356: This is not a foreign drug, it is produced by us At this time, a Russian officer quickly flashed in front Immediately, several bullets were fired at him, but not a single shot killed him. He screamed, and more Russian soldiers behind him entered the position. But by this time, the attacking soldiers were already close to the enemy's position. The grenades in their hands started to fire. It was thrown at the enemy and exploded in the enemy crowd. Hand dot d Many enemies screamed, but those soldiers were not in a hurry to rush to the enemy's position. They were observing and destroying the enemy's effective strength there. After half an hour, the remaining Russian troops finally retreated and took up their positions. After leaving it to the Chinese, the soldiers went up and began to build their own field fortifications. The third company commander ran to Ning Hao and reported: "The battalion commander's mission has been completed. We have established our own forward position there. Its two wings are now also with us." "Ning Hao said to his correspondent, "Order each company to quickly build defenses to protect themselves well in advance." The correspondent agreed and ran to convey the order. As a general of the Qing army, Chang Rui had often fought for many years. He had only heard about the New Army troops and had never seen their battles. He was not very convinced of them. He didn't believe there was anyone better than him. He thought the New Army might have some ulterior motives. Didn't some people in his own army often take credit? Killing one can be said to be killing three or five, but you can't believe it if people say it too much, so he also wanted to see the new army's fighting style and strength. Although he was very grateful to the more than 500 people who rushed in, he didn't believe how capable they were. He just thought that they were reinforcements from ancient times. Later, he found out that they were brothers from the New Army. Their courage But it is very admirable to rush in here, it is very likely that one person will die, but they rushed in. There are hundreds of them and they dare to rush into the enemy's encirclement. This is obviously going into the tiger's mouth. They are also some people with backbone. . But when he saw the colorful weapons on their bodies, he was a little confused. Now he was watching a small test of their skills, and then he saw how big the gap was between them and himself. He had been wanting to do that for such a long time. He had also made efforts to capture a high-rise building, but failed several times. Now it only took dozens of minutes to solve it, and there were still no casualties. This made his understanding of the new army immediately change. With all this equipment and combat skills, he will definitely make the Russian army on the opposite side suffer a lot. A health worker came over to show General Chang Rui the wound. Ning Hao asked them to go to a safe place. He wanted to check the construction status of the fortifications everywhere. Chang Rui and the health worker went to a safe place. A military doctor asked him to lie down. He skillfully removed the original bandage and re-treated his wound. Chang Rui had a shrapnel scratch on his head and a bullet wound on his chest. He rolled up and was hit on the arm, bleeding a lot, but he still persisted. The soldiers under his command had already had their wounds treated by the soldiers of the New Army. The military doctor gave him an injection of anesthesia that he said was used to relieve pain. When he cleaned his wound, it didn't hurt so much. This also made Chang Rui feel strange. Anyway, he cleaned the wound without suffering any pain. I brought him some vaginal tablets and said to him: "General, after taking these vaginal tablets three times a day, your wound will heal quickly. Be careful not to get water on the wound and don't get it dirty." Chang Rui asked: "Is it that easy?" "General, I am not bluffing that you will be fine soon. If you don't obey, the wound on your head may leave some problems." said the military doctor. Chang Rui laughed, "Okay, then I will listen to you and let me see how good your foreign products are." "General, this is not a foreign product, it is produced by us." "It's not that foreign products are better. I hate those foreign things. "The large force is resting and the small force is constantly conducting reconnaissance on the enemy. It is necessary to have first-hand information about the enemy. Li Zhenhua knows that Sun Tzu has long said in the Art of War, "Know yourself and know the enemy." To fight without knowing the enemy's situation is to fight with a blind man riding a blind horse. You will definitely not be able to achieve good results. A guard reported to him: "The telegram from the Harbin front line." Li Zhenhua received it and read it carefully, "Our department has sent a battalion into Harbin City to support the Qing army there and look for an opportunity to rescue them. Now. The enemy is already preparing to attack me. I am now ready to retreat. Please instruct Zhang Zuolin on the next combat mission." "I would like to order Zhang Zuolin's troops to retreat quickly to the southwest after engaging the enemy again."Li Zhenhua said to Feng Guozhang: "Let the prisoner camp also start taking action. Continue to reduce the number of guard troops to give them a chance to escape. At the same time, we must be careful not to cause losses to our troops." "Okay, it has been arranged long ago, just as planned. Just do it." "Don't forget to let the troops in the north leave a hole for them to pass through." "No problem, it has been arranged." There are only a dozen soldiers guarding the three in a prison camp outside the Great Wall. There are more than a hundred prisoners. These prisoners are those Russian prisoners who are not very obedient. There are more than a dozen soldiers here who can speak Russian, but they have not shown that they know Russian at all. On the surface, they are very lax about guarding the prisoners. It is already night. After letting the prisoners have dinner, they forgot to lock the prisoners' mn. They had already run to their own place to drink. A few people were shouting and screaming, but the rest of the soldiers were hiding. Observe the enemy in the dark. There was no sound in a warehouse where Russian prisoners of war were held. Only a few fires used to keep them warm made the sound of burning wood from time to time. But the soldiers knew that they were discussing together how to escape. They didn't know that the other prisoners had already begun to move inland. Only they were still detained here. Several people were guarding the fire and discussing: "They have too few guards. It must be that they have lost too many people in this battle and they can no longer take care of us." Another voice said: "This is a What a great opportunity. We have to find a way to run out and not be here anymore. If we don¡¯t have enough to eat every day, we won¡¯t all starve to death.¡± Text Chapter 357 Prisoners of War Escaped Text Chapter 357 Prisoners of War Escaped Chapter 357 Prisoners of War Escaped Chapter 357 Prisoners of War Escaped "Tonight they even forgot to lock the mn. Today is a good opportunity. Run away. There are not many such good opportunities. If they do it tomorrow, It takes a lot of effort just to lock and open this big mn. We are so hungry that we have no energy left." A voice said: "Okay, today is the day. I know this is our base. It¡¯s no problem once we leave Mn and it¡¯s wild outside. We just need to run all the way north to reach Harbin. Once there, we can find our own people.¡± ¡°But we don¡¯t have weapons. If we run into those Chinese soldiers after we go out, we will be in trouble.¡± "There is a small warehouse over there. I have seen it secretly. It contains our original weapons, but they are too few, but everyone can use them." The cries of the Chinese soldiers were heard in the distance, which made the Russian soldiers cry. The prisoners began to be afraid again. If these Chinese soldiers were unhappy, they might take it out on someone tomorrow. There was a pause in the warehouse and they began to take action. First, two people came out and quietly went to the small warehouse where weapons were stored. There was only a small lock there. They unscrewed the lock. The cries of the Chinese soldiers covered everything up. They guessed that the Chinese soldiers were homesick. They touched it back quietly again. He said to the mn at the entrance. As soon as they were waved from inside, the Russian prisoners of war all began to walk out gently. They quietly went to the small warehouse, picked up their weapons, and quickly hid themselves. After most of the people came out, they began to run away. The soldiers who were hiding behind and observing saw them running out of the camp and immediately shouted: "The prisoners have escaped, hurry up and chase them." Immediately, gunfire rang out again, and soon some Chinese soldiers chased them out. They kept moving towards the distance. Shooting everywhere. When the Russian prisoners saw the pursuers coming from behind, they immediately accelerated their pace of escape. Several of them had guns in their hands, and they fired at the Chinese soldiers. One of the pursuers in the distance yelled, and more people ran towards there. The pursuers, who looked like they had killed an official, finally stopped their pursuit. In the middle of the night, it started to snow again, covering up all their tracks. But they were afraid that Chinese cavalry would pursue them after dawn. They did not dare to delay at all and just fled towards the north desperately. The commander-in-chief of the Russian army who entered Harbin, General Alexeyev, the governor of Siberia, placed his headquarters in a villa built by the Russians. It is a typical European-style building with a large living room, his office and bedroom. There was also a comfortable fireplace. The governor sat on a large chair. He was reading a piece of intelligence, which was sent from China. It was about the situation of some parties in Russia. After reading it, he felt bored and threw the intelligence away. While he was thinking about the situation of his army, the long situation was still unclear. Now a squadron has arrived at his mn entrance. They are guarding there again, and a small force has entered the city. They have already fought with those The defenders merged which greatly annoyed him. An army of more than 100,000 people actually allowed a small force of several hundred people to enter smoothly, which made him lose face. As time went on, the morale of the troops began to decline. Although the cold was a natural ally of the Russians, for his own Insufficient logistics supplies have made it difficult to supply the troops. Daily meals for these hundreds of thousands of people are a big problem, which requires hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food every day. Due to insufficient supplies, some troops have begun to eat potatoes as their main meal. Did these despicable guys eat less potatoes when they were in the country? Now, what does it matter if you eat potatoes for a few days when you are abroad? But they are complaining every day. Some junior officers are also complaining. They really should be shot. He stroked his proud upturned mustache and decided. A battle should be fought as soon as possible to boost the morale of the soldiers. The squadron in front of him is a good target. They have more than 10,000 people. But there are hundreds of thousands of people here. It should be very easy to eat them. So he started to mobilize the army to eat those Chinese people. People. Soon the three cavalry divisions were all ready. It should be no problem to fight 30,000 to 10,000. They wanted to surround the group of Chinese and eat them up, but it was really big. Soon they launched an attack on those people. The Cossack cavalry attacked the squadron and began to attack. Zhang Zuolin looked at the situation in front of him. He knew that those Cossack cavalry were very capable of fighting, but with his own superior firepower, he had no problem against them. However, his mission was to use the arrogance strategy to get some sweetness from them. Then they would You must defeat yourself, but although you can defeat, you cannot lose your troops. This is the most difficult battle to fight. Zhang Zuolin, his subordinate Yang Yuntian and several staff officers are discussing how to fight the enemy. This time they only brought four cavalry regiments and part of the logistics troops.After the logistics troops transported the supplies, they had already withdrawn to the side and were watching them more than ten kilometers away. The enemy's attack would not hinder them. Without those logistics troops, Zhang Zuolin didn't care about fighting. On the surface, he didn't care. Zhang Zuolin is a rough man, but he has his own little calculation in his heart, that is, he cannot suffer losses. The enemy is three divisions. They will definitely attack from three sides. Then I will use three regiments to deal with them. I will first knock them out with firepower, then give them a countercharge to beat them, and then I will start to mess around. They walked away calmly. On the surface, they were beaten away by the Russian army, but they made the enemy suffer a dumb loss, so that they neither dared to pursue nor not to pursue. However, their report to the commander had to say that they had won. Then let the enemy chase you slowly. He shared his combat ideas with the people below and everyone agreed and also made some additions to his combat deployment. Then they began to wait for the enemy to attack as planned. Those who were in the city of Harbin also had to retreat together and could not die in vain for the enemy. In the evening, a staff officer sent by Zhang Zuolin told the people inside Zhang Zuolin's battle plan. Later, the Qing troops headed by Chang Rui disagreed and they had already made plans. They were prepared to die. Now when they were asked to retreat, they all disagreed. The staff officer said to them: "We are retreating from here today so that we can fight back tomorrow. Within a month, we can take back Harbin completely." Text Chapter 358: Arrogant Soldier¡¯s Strategy Text Chapter 358: The Arrogant Soldier's Strategy Chapter 358: The Arrogant Soldier's Strategy Chapter 358: The Arrogant Soldier's Strategy But those Qing soldiers disagreed and said: "You can leave, just leave us. We don't want to leave at all." The staff officer looked at it. Having no choice, he made a gesture to Ning Hao. Ning Hao was not polite and went up and knocked Chang Rui unconscious with a knife. Two soldiers came up and lifted him up. They began to retreat from the secret passage. The soldiers looked at those who agreed to leave. He helped them walk together, and for those soldiers who disagreed, he knocked them unconscious and carried them all on their backs and withdrew from the city. Battalion Commander Ning Hao said to the soldiers below: "There are some grenades that are hard to get, so leave them for the old grenades. You should make more companion mines, booby traps, etc., and don't take advantage of the old grenades." The soldiers withdrew. come out. Just leaving some experienced veterans behind, they began to arrange those grenades and mortar shells everywhere. These things were originally produced for the enemy. Now leave them to them. And the staff officers who went to inform their own logistics troops did not have to bother so much. They immediately started to retreat with just one order. What Zhang Zuolin is worried about now is that these people were very happy when they saw them coming out. He immediately asked people to arrange for them to start retreating to the south to meet up with his logistics team, and asked the soldiers to keep an eye on them, feed them well, take good care of them, but there is one thing. They should be guarded like prisoners and no one should be allowed to escape. Seeing this, these Qing troops lost their temper and had to obey their arrangements and retreat to the south. After daybreak, the three enemies began to advance towards the cavalry division's station. The enemies were not subordinate to each other. They launched charges one after another. They thought that the Chinese cavalry troops would be like them, and they would engage in a sword-to-knife and gun-to-gun fight. It was also those who were in the middle. But none of them directly faced the sabers. What greeted them was a fierce rain of bullets. When the enemy began to retreat under the fierce artillery fire, they immediately began to launch a ferocious counterattack against them, beating the hell out of those Russian troops. Seven to eight hundred casualties were thrown in front of the position. The situation in the three aspects was almost the same. Zhang Zuolin laughed when he saw it and immediately ordered: "Withdraw". The troops covered each other and withdrew from their positions. Then they all mounted their horses and ran towards the south quickly. Their escape was as real as they left behind a lot of supplies, guns and ammunition, but all those guns and ammunition were taken from the Russian army. The Russian cavalry troops outside were able to reintegrate the army with great difficulty. After a long period of preparation, they started the second charge at almost noon. When they arrived in front of the squadron's position with fear, they discovered that they had already escaped. So the three division commanders discussed it and began to report to the Governor. Of course, their report was about how they fought bravely with the Chinese before driving the enemy away. The Russian troops in the city also began to attack the surrounded squadron. They carefully entered the place where the squadron was stationed. They did not receive a single blow. However, from time to time, Russian troops in some places were killed and injured by trip mines set by the squadron. Although the opponent was There was no one but they lost hundreds of people. Their report to the governor was also high-sounding, saying that after a fierce battle, they finally wiped out the entire squadron, killing and wounding hundreds of them, and also suffered hundreds of losses on their side. The battles in both places were successful, which made Governor Alexeyev very happy. It seemed that those people were not invincible. He just defeated them as soon as they met. Now he is going to march to Changchun. After such a time Prepare your own supplies and have them replenished. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, they are preparing to celebrate the New Year. I want to take this opportunity to hit the squadron hard. When he was thinking about how to deal with the Chinese, an officer suddenly came in and reported: "The Governor has a few soldiers who came back from the long distance to see the Governor." "Let them come in." Two Russian soldiers and a lieutenant officer As soon as they came in and saw His Excellency the Governor, they immediately saluted the Governor. Governor Alexeyev stared at these people with his eyes. Although it was the season of nine cold days, the sweat on the heads of those people fell down. After a while, Alexey The husband asked coldly: "Which unit are you from?" "We are from the 17th Cavalry Division in the Far East." Alexeyev knew that it was the unit stationed in Chang'an under his orders. He was eager to know that he What happened to the long garrison? So he softened his tone and continued to ask: "What is your situation?" The captain said to him: "Sir, we were completely defeated by the Chinese. We were completely defeated by the Chinese's countless cannons. We were knocked unconscious and we were bombarded by cannons outside the city, and then we were in their hands. Outside the city, we were all captured by them. Those Chinese people were so miserable." A soldier added: "They captured many of us." The governor's heart was filled with anger. "Then how did you come back?" "My lord, they don't have many people left. They guarded more than 300 of us. "Only a dozen of us escaped from their prison camp." "How many of yours were there?" "There were more than three hundred of us who escaped, but many of us died of hunger and cold on the way. Now there are only more than 200 of us." "Don't they have any pursuers?" "They were rarely repulsed by us and never came out again." Alexeyev waved his hand. After letting those people retreat, he began to think about it. One is that these Chinese people are very cruel. They ate up 60,000 of their own troops, but now they are dead. They are fighting with the Russian army. Most of the troops have been lost. It is also known from the report of the reconnaissance troops sent by them that they still have more than 10,000 troops. What should we do now? The enemy only has a small number of troops, and their supplies are also very tight now, so they huddled up and did not dare to come out. There are hundreds of thousands of people in his hands now. If he lets them go like this, his reputation in the military will not be good in the future. But it is not easy to defeat the Chinese. First of all, their weapons and equipment are better than what they have now. But there is something that is far ahead of me. It is said that it has never been seen in the world, but I have seen their airship with my own eyes. Text Chapter 359 Kill less and arrest more Chapter 359: Kill less and arrest more. Chapter 359: Kill less and arrest more. Chapter 359: Kill less and arrest more. Now is a good opportunity to fight them. Their supplies are insufficient and their numbers are small. They cannot fight other Qing troops. If you make good use of this opportunity, you will definitely be able to win a big victory. Then you will have to make meritorious service in front of the Tsar. Thinking of this, Governor Alexeyev smiled, and his ambition began to swell. He was imagining the wonderful prospects after defeating the squadron. Of the three fertile black lands in the world, two will belong to the great Russia. . If I could defeat the Chinese New Army and the senior officials in Petersburg, no one would say that I was incompetent. Governor Alexeev stroked his mustache and began to give orders with a smile. Lieutenant General Kuzlev came to him and accepted the governor's order: lead 50,000 infantry and cavalry to Changjin to eliminate the few people there. China's New Army troops. The city of Harbin is busy. The Russian army is quickly gathering logistics. In terms of logistics, they are also recruiting a large number of vehicles and horses to prepare to transport military supplies to the front line. All the troops setting off have been told that if the Chinese New Army troops are eliminated, they can be given three days off after their arrival. God allows them to act as they please. There is nothing else. This is the most popular thing among the Russian soldiers. They can then find Chinese girls at will, obtain the Chinese personal property and take a day off. The income is much more than three years' salary. In addition, those Chinese women are much better than Russian women. At least they are not as romantic as Russian women. d At this time, Li Zhenhua's headquarters has arrived in Fuyu County, Jilin Province. This is a small county. It is located in the middle area between Harbin and Changchun. Li Zhenhua is looking at the intelligence sent from various places. First of all, their report from the navy says that the Russian army is in the Pacific. The fleet has already begun to take action. Their target must be against our Weihai and Lushun. In compliance with the commander-in-chief's order, our navy has also begun to assemble, but we don't know where their final target is, so they only defended them on the front line of Tsushima Island. With two cruisers and six submarines stationed there, they reassured the commander-in-chief that they would never let the Russian warships take advantage. The original Beiyang Fleet only guarded Lushun. Now their ability can only guard there. Deng Shichang deployed his navy on the Weihai front line as a base to support Tsushima. Li Zhenhua knew that he was an amateur in naval warfare, so he had to follow the arrangements of the navy's professionals. However, he did not forget to remind them not to let go of the enemies in Vladivostok and their transportation lines, and to send enough submarines there. You can carry out sneak attacks on their military ports and attack enemy fleets. The last thing he said was that I would leave it to you regarding naval battles. Xu Shichang, who is in charge of the entire logistics work, also wrote a letter. He said that the exploration work of Fushun Coal Mine and Anshan Iron and Steel Plant has been completed. There are a large number of steel and coal mines there and they have expanded them on the original basis (and he also sent some drawings to others. Sent) He said that the entire Liaodong region now has good development prospects. If possible, we will build a large-scale industrial base there. Connect everything here with railways. After Li Zhenhua read Xu Shichang's letter, he thought to himself that Xu Shichang was really not given for free. Let's keep him and let him work hard in the Liaodong area. Anyway, the job here will be his from now on. You must know that he is in the original place. In time and space, he has been the governor of the three northeastern provinces for several years, and his system there is also very sound. In addition, he also said that the prisoners of the Russian army were very useful and did not need to be paid. If there were any, he would give them more nng. Li Zhenhua laughed again and listened to those who came to deliver the letter. He said that Lao Xu¡¯s method was very simple. He treated those prisoners The prisoners said that if you want to eat, then go to work. This place does not support people who live for nothing. Some Russian officers did not agree at first, so they immediately said, "You can quit, but I don't have free food for you. You can work or not, but the food is gone." So Lao Xu left and the Russian prisoners persisted for two days. After that, they all asked to work, and they also had food. Anyway, those "good jobs" are reserved for them. There are plenty of hard jobs, but he is very good to those prisoners who are willing to take the initiative to help us. Intelligence from Harbin said that the Russian army has begun to prepare to march south. Their total number is about 50,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, and 30,000 cavalry. The commander is Lieutenant General Kuzlev. They estimate that it will only be in the past few days. The enemy has finally arrived. Li Zhenhua thought that his preparations had finally succeeded. Instead of engaging in street fighting in the city, he mobilized the enemy and dealt with them on the plain. This is his ultimate goal. Hearing the news, everyone in the command headquarters cheered happily. It's great that your commander-in-chief can mobilize the enemy's actions. A staff officer said: "This family?'s name is so awkward, my husband will definitely turn his wife into a nio when the time comes. "In the right battle, Li Zhenhua and his army brethren are not afraid of people armed with modern warfare concepts. Will they be afraid of the Russian army who used the old fighting methods before World War I? No matter who they are, they think that as long as they occupy the place It is his own, but Li Zhenhua is not afraid of losing any place. As long as the enemy is eliminated, the place is not his own. He asked Feng Guozhang to prepare a battle plan immediately. Feng Guozhang has fought many battles with Li Zhenhua in the past few years. Having fully grasped Li Zhenhua's war concept, he immediately formulated a combat plan based on the actual situation. Li Zhenhua immediately convened all the officers to discuss the combat plan proposed by Feng Guozhang. At the meeting, Feng Guozhang first informed him of his combat plan. We must first block the enemy on the Shuangchengzi line for two days and then give up voluntarily. Then we will lay a pocket for the enemy in the north of Fuyu County and use our superior artillery fire to destroy them. But this time our blocking mission and encirclement and annihilation will be carried out. The mission will be much more difficult than the last time. I hope everyone can be mentally prepared. Since all the supplies for each unit have been put in place, everyone is confident. Duan Qirui immediately said: "These people will all be handed over to us. We guarantee it." Cleaned them all up. " Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Old Xu's Liaodong side has a lot of people. If you are all wiped out, then Old Xu will ask someone to let you go. "Everyone laughed when they heard this. Li Zhenhua continued: "And Zhang Zuolin, don't just think about killing people with your saber, but keep people behind for us to use for construction in the future. " "Then how can we fight this battle? " "It's not difficult to fight" Everyone's eyes turned to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "There is nothing difficult to fight. We can fight however we want. Brothers, we can't be soft on the enemy just because we are afraid of not being able to capture prisoners." "This sentence made everyone feel relieved. Text Chapter 360 Reinforcements are coming Text Chapter 360 Reinforcements are coming Chapter 360 Reinforcements are coming Chapter 360 Reinforcements are coming Suddenly a guard came in and reported to Li Zhenhua: "Miss Jin Xifeng, Secretary of the Commander-in-Chief Headquarters, and several North Korean soldiers are here. They want to see you." "Okay. When the meeting is over, Lao Feng, please go out with me to greet us. I guess our reinforcements have arrived. When he came outside, Li Zhenhua saw Jin Xifeng standing there with several soldiers from North Korea. As soon as Jin Xifeng saw Li Zhenhua coming out in person. He stepped forward and saluted Li Zhenhua with a standard military salute: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Special Envoy Jin Xifeng has returned from completing his mission." Those people also saluted Li Zhenhua. They shouted together: "Hello, Chief." Li Zhenhua hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Jin Xifeng and then said The soldiers who came from North Korea shook hands and he said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard along the way. Come inside now. It's too cold outside." Several people came in. Li Zhenhua saw that two of these people looked familiar to him. Knowing that these were the officers Li Biao left behind in North Korea, the two unfamiliar ones should be soldiers from North Korea. Jin Xifeng began to introduce Li Zhenhua: "This is Li Yahao, the commander of the First Korean Division." A young officer stepped forward and saluted Li Zhenhua: "Chief, I am the deputy commander of the second regiment of the former fifth division and I am Korean." Li Zhenhua once again Reach out and shake his hand. Jin Xifeng pointed to a young officer and said: "This is Jin Yongshun, the commander of the North Korean Second Division." He took a step forward, saluted Li Zhenhua and then said: "I am from Andong and entered North Korea in my early years. I was a soldier under Mr. Yuan. Later, I became General Li Biao's subordinate." Li Zhenhua said to them: "It's great that you are here. We are employing people here. How many troops have you brought in total?" Jin Xifeng immediately replied: "Two full troops. The division has a total of 30,000 people, but their weapons are inferior and they don¡¯t have any heavy weapons.¡± Li Yahao immediately said: ¡°Our weapons are much better than the Russian army¡¯s, even if they are not good enough. Our division is equipped with the original Fifth Division¡¯s equipment.¡± Jin Yongshun also said: ¡°Commander, don¡¯t worry. We can ensure that we will not fail to complete the mission if we encounter the Russian army. Our division¡¯s Japanese equipment should be fine. They are much better than the weapons of the Russian army." Upon hearing this, Li Zhenhua immediately said to Wang Shizhen: "How many spare weapons do we have?" Wang Shizhen replied: "The weapons in our logistics department can equip one division, but there is a military station in Fengtian at the rear. It will take about five days to transport another division's equipment." "Well, let's equip the second division first and replace all the Japanese equipment in the second division. Then we won't need to replace the first division's equipment after the war. Then change your clothes." Wang Shizhen, who was in charge of logistics, asked a few of them: "You are tired from the long march, how about we eat while we talk?" Li Zhenhua also laughed and said immediately: "I'll give you a low price. "I'm so happy that I even forgot about your meal. Well, let's talk to the guards while we eat and ask them to take good care of the soldiers of the two Korean divisions so that they can eat something hot." The guards said together. Come in and help clean up. After a while, a few hot pots will be served. There is nothing better than eating this problem when the weather is freezing. Because everyone was happy, even liquor was served, including sorghum wine. The meal lasted for three hours and ended at two o'clock. At this time, the soldiers of a regiment had prepared all the equipment of the second division. Their clothes had not been changed, but everyone was issued a helmet, which was indispensable. While they were changing clothes, Jin Xifeng reported to Li Zhenhua the situation of her trip to North Korea. As soon as she arrived in North Korea, she first met with the commander of the garrison on the Korean Peninsula, Jin Yongsheng. He followed Li Zhenhua's orders 100% and sent someone to accompany Jin Xifeng to Seoul. Jin Xifeng in Seoul met the North Korean King Li Xi and he immediately implemented Li Zhenhua's request, which was very smooth. Li Xi asked people to prepare a large amount of food and other materials. He has followed Li Zhenhua wholeheartedly. Now that Li Zhenhua has something to do, he has to use himself. He must help. He meant to let Jin Yongsheng also go to Northeast China, but Jin Xifeng said that Li Zhenhua wanted them to leave a certain number of troops to pay attention to the Russian Far East Fleet. Although it is winter, the Russian Far East Fleet will not make much movement, but they cannot let it go, so Jin Yongsheng left two divisions of the second-line troops to personally lead them as a warning force to pay close attention to the movements of the Russian army. The elite troops of the two divisions plus the logistics troops kept fighting toward the northeast. But when they reached Jilin, they already heard that Li Zhenhua and his men had achieved a great victory and had wiped out 60,000 Russian troops, so they accelerated their efforts.With the speed of the army, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with the war when they reach the Northeast. Now seeing that they were preparing for the second battle with the Russian army, they were glad that they had finally caught up. Since the North Korean Second Division has just changed its equipment, it can only conduct training first so that they can become familiar with their weapons and equipment without rushing to the battlefield. Although the First Division did not change their equipment, they were worried that they would not be able to perform well on the battlefield and they were seizing the time to train. Seeing the two Korean divisions training so hard, Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang were very satisfied. They went to their training ground to take a look and felt that they The training was still very arduous and fully adapted to the needs of war, because all the officers in the army were under Li Biao. Even the training methods were the same. It wasn¡¯t until the battle to stop the Russian army started that they stopped training and then entered their standby area under Feng Guozhang¡¯s arrangement. Feng Guozhang readjusted the combat deployment due to the addition of the two North Korean divisions. He was not familiar with their combat capabilities and was a little worried, so he asked them to outflank the Russian army on both sides, reducing the pressure on the other two Chinese infantry divisions. The large group of Russian troops encountered the New Army's blockade at the Shuangchengzi line. Lieutenant General Kuzlev, in order to achieve success, did not care about the life or death of those below. He only urged the subordinates to attack as hard as possible. It was not until evening that they captured the first line of the Chinese New Army. Defense Line Lieutenant General Kuzlev thought this was a good thing. In the evening, he convened some senior officers at his headquarters to hold a cocktail party to celebrate. Lieutenant General Kuzlev also provided beautiful dance partners for those officers. While they were celebrating, small units of the Chinese New Army began to sneak attacks on them, which made Lieutenant General Kuzlev's dance party have to end hastily. The Russian artillery also arrived the next day. They immediately began to set up their positions and began to fire at the squadron. However, they were silenced by the squadron's artillery before they could prepare the shells. Despite this, Lieutenant General Kuzlev ordered him to The army launched an attack on the squadron. Text Chapter 361 Arrange a pocket for the Russian army Text Chapter 361 Arrange a pocket for the Russian army Chapter 361 Arrange a pocket for the Russian army Chapter 361 Arrange a pocket for the Russian army With the efforts of Lieutenant General Kuzlev, tens of thousands of Russian infantry and cavalry launched after a day of hard fighting After more than a dozen charges, they made no progress in front of the squadron. In the evening, after the squadron conducted a countercharge, they withdrew from their position. Under the cover of the night, they began to retreat southward. On the morning of the third day, before Lieutenant General Kuzlev got up, someone reported to him: "The Chinese people on the opposite side have all run away." Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Kuzlev immediately got up and went to the front to look at the Chinese people on the opposite side. There was nothing left on the position. Although he was a little doubtful, he was still very happy. After thinking about it, he immediately ordered the troops to start eating, and then the troops began to pursue the enemy in the direction of retreat. In his feeling, the squadron's resistance this day was a desperate struggle. They had no ability. Under the attack of the heroic Russian army, they finally couldn't withstand it and began to escape. Lieutenant General Kuzlev was very happy. He quickly reported his achievements to General Alexeyev. At this time, General Alexeyev also encouraged him without hesitation and asked him to continue moving forward. He will definitely report his exploits to the Tsar. After several days of field survey of the terrain, Li Zhenhua and the others prepared a pocket for the Russian army of more than 50,000 troops in a place north of Fuyu. Each unit has entered its own ambush area. The artillery division has already chosen its position. Duan Qi The observation post sent by Rui can clearly see the entire battlefield. The d Air Force is also nervously repairing its field airport. The victory in the first battle greatly increased the fighting spirit of the Air Force officers and soldiers, and they are determined to make meritorious deeds again in the new battle. Qin Guangming's 1st Infantry Division is responsible for blocking the enemy, Zhao Xiaofeng's 2nd Infantry Division is responsible for pocketing, while Yang Yuntian's 1st Cavalry Division and the Korean 2nd Division are responsible for the defense in the east. Zhang Yang's 2nd Cavalry Division and the Korean 1st Division are jointly responsible for the west. For the defense and the Qing army, Li Zhenhua dispatched a total of more than 110,000 troops. Now the Chinese New Army is besieging the enemy with superior weapons and strength. Before the war, the division commanders of each division received orders to capture more prisoners. It was to see who suffered the least losses and captured the most prisoners. The airship force and the air force aircraft will use a large number of incendiary bombs this time. This time, the main purpose is not to destroy the enemy but to capture more prisoners. They can choose their own attack targets. The task of the armored force is to penetrate the depth of the enemy. When attacking the enemy's structure, cooperate with the infantry to attack the enemy, divide the enemy into small groups and then eliminate them one by one. Li Zhenhua has not equipped the current armored vehicles with artillery, but only equipped them with heavy machine guns. There are only three people on the armored vehicle, a commander, a machine gunner and a driver. In Li Zhenhua's own words, these armored vehicles are all female because It turns out that the British tanks that first appeared in Europe during World War I, namely the "Mark I" and "Mark II", were divided into male and female tanks. The male tank was the "Mark II" equipped with a 37 cannon. And those "Mark I" without artillery are called female. Why did the English word "tank", which is a water tank, be used as the name of this secret weapon? At that time, they mainly wanted to keep it secret, and the weapons they made also looked like a water tank and were square, so they named it "tank". "At the beginning, they caused Germany a lot of trouble. One tank captured a trench, and two tanks captured hundreds of German prisoners. The deterrent power of the tanks was much greater. It exceeded the mental pressure caused by the group charge. There is nothing to say to the combat soldiers, but if they are asked to carry out soil work digging trenches, the soldiers will feel a little uncomfortable. However, the commander-in-chief has issued a fatal order to complete the fortifications. His typical words are "At this time The more you sweat, the less you will bleed in battle." Division and regiment commanders at all levels and some lower-level officers also ran to the positions to urge the soldiers to dig trenches. Moreover, the trenches have required a fixed pattern, that is, the depth of the trench plus the spoil must be such that the soldiers cannot see the soldiers standing on the ground level. The spoil cannot be simply put together and must be piled in front to ensure a width of one meter. The enemy's bullets cannot penetrate it. The direction of the trenches is also very particular. It cannot be dug in a straight line but curves leading to the rear. The trenches cannot be straight and must be zigzag. Once the enemy comes up, a machine gun in your hand will come up along the trench. Shuttle, how many people will die? If an enemy shell falls, a curved trench can reduce casualties, so the trench must be curved. Although it is not convenient, it would be bad if it happens. You know There are too many unforeseen things on the battlefield. Under the supervision of officers at all levels, the trenches were finally dug. Li Zhenhua looked at several places. He even went down and stood there to test them. He saw that they were completely completed.When the request came, he felt relieved and satisfied. He said to the soldiers: "We must protect ourselves to the maximum extent on the battlefield, otherwise we will be finished before attacking the enemy. This is not possible. We must protect ourselves to better destroy the enemy. The purpose of defending ourselves is to better destroy the enemy." Only then can the enemy achieve the goal of defending their own country. "This made some of the original Qing generals like Nie Shicheng, Chang Rui and others greatly admire them. This is called loving soldiers like sons. Only by protecting the lives of their own soldiers. That's what we call love soldiers. The soldiers covered the front of the newly dug trench with snow and camouflaged it so that they could not be seen from a distance. Only then was their mission completed. Then wait patiently for the enemy to come. At the bottom of Qin Guangming's pocket, the enemy was finally waiting for them. Their front troops were still the Cossack cavalry. The small scout cavalry in front were repulsed. After the enemy's large force stopped advancing, they soon gathered them 800 meters away. Lieutenant General Kuzlev, who was among the infantry and cavalry of the large force, saw that the Chinese were already prepared, and he immediately ordered the cavalry to prepare for a charge. The cavalry unit of more than a thousand people was ready. An officer took the lead and waved the saber in his hand. He ran slowly towards the squadron position in front and when he reached more than 300 meters, he waved the saber again. The Russian soldiers raised their eyebrows. Shouting "Ula", they quickly charged toward the squadron's position. More than a thousand fast horses started running with extraordinary momentum. The iron hooves of the war horses beat on the frozen ground. Just the earth-shattering sound made people tremble. Some new soldiers had never seen it before. Such a formation was very scary in their hearts, but when they looked at the veterans and new soldiers beside them, their hearts were relieved. It was nothing special. They were also the dead ghosts shot by the gun in my hand. Text Chapter 362 The Russian army entered the pocket Text Chapter 362 The Russian Army Entered the Pocket Chapter 362 The Russian Army Entered the Pocket Chapter 362 The Russian Army Entered the Pocket When the artillery observers on the hill on the side saw the enemy starting to charge, they immediately reported the enemy's position to the artillery position. Immediately began to block the enemy and fired a row of artillery shells. A large number of cavalrymen and horses flew up. When they fell down, they were trampled into mud by the galloping horses behind them. Mortars erected a death blockade in front of the enemy. However, the Russian cavalry continued to charge forward. Soon they arrived about a hundred meters in front of the trench. The guns in the hands of the infantry soldiers began to fire. The flames from the light and heavy machine guns swept towards the enemy. At the same time, the infantrymen The rifles also began to hit the front of the Russian charge, like the sickle of death, waving at the cavalry layer by layer. Pieces of Russian cavalry fell off their horses. The first charge of the Russian cavalry lasted less than thirty minutes and ended. They suffered heavy casualties, but no one rushed within a hundred meters. Only a few hundred horses and their masters were left, and they returned. Nearly six hundred cavalrymen behind them were lost under their horses. The surviving horses were neighing, and the surviving people were also screaming loudly. This first charge also aroused the cruel blood of Lieutenant General Kuzlev. Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered another cavalry regiment to start charging. The same scene happened again and ended in a disastrous defeat. The only thing worth saying is that they were better than the last time. The charge's close proximity to the Chinese allowed the squadron to use grenades. Through the telescope, Lieutenant General Kuzlev could clearly see the entire attack process. It was not that his soldiers were not trying their best, but that the weapons of the Chinese on the opposite side were too powerful. His cavalry could not get close to the squadron and they were unable to exert their strength. The power of the sword has fallen. Kuzlev saw that his cavalry had lost six to seven hundred men in just one charge. He knew that the Chinese in front of him were difficult to deal with, so he decided to let the infantry come up to charge and let the cavalry serve as their wings. Cover and use regular charges to deal with these hateful Chinese. Lieutenant General Kuzlev gave the order to the infantry following him to catch up quickly, so the Russian infantry behind accelerated their speed and started running forward. A wide black long dragon moved forward quickly like a dark cloud. Li Zhenhua, who was sitting in the headquarters, saw that the enemy began to move quickly. He was very happy that these Russian troops were still obedient and were speeding up to enter the encirclement he had prepared for them. He wanted to call Zhao Xiaofeng of the Second Division: "How is it? All the guests have come in, right?" "All the enemies have come in. Only a part of the baggage at the back has not come up. How about I have to pierce my pockets and I won't let the rest of the enemies go." They ran away. " "Then it's up to you. Just take control of it yourself. But you can't let any of the enemy's main forces escape. I'll ask you if I let one of them escape. " "I promise not to let any of them escape. The enemy." The pockets were quickly packed. A narrow strip of five or six kilometers long from north to south and one kilometer wide from east to west has already contained 50,000 Russian troops. Now this sumptuous meal is about to begin. It depends on how the new army troops are doing. Eat them. The artillery observation post on the hill immediately reported the situation to Duan Qirui's artillery headquarters. After Duan Qirui got the news, all their cannons that had been prepared for a long time began roaring again, and a large number of artillery shells were poured towards the enemy's heads. Lieutenant General Zlyov was anxious. He immediately ordered his artillery to fire back at the enemy, but he never waited for the sound of his artillery returning fire. It turned out that their artillery had suffered heavy losses from the previous day's artillery shells, and now they only had a few cannons. They had not arranged it yet. A large number of artillery shells from their own artillery position landed on their heads accurately as if they had eyes. This is the first target that artillery needs to clear. Only by clearing them first can your own infantry soldiers avoid too many casualties. Not only did their own artillery begin to shoot at the airships flying in the sky, but they also began to attack them together with the hurriedly arriving aircraft. The target of the aircraft's attack also made it clear that they were the enemy's artillery first, then the enemy's command organ, and finally They didn't care about the enemy's cavalry and the infantry who were most afraid of them. Today's aircraft are not very effective in combat, and they are just a deterrent force. The sound of their powerful motors fills the hearts of Russian soldiers with fear. The aircraft above are too scary, and they can't do anything about them, but they are not there. He kept attacking himself. Facing the enemy's artillery march, the pilots began dive bombing and machine gun strafing against them. However, because their own artillery was also firing, they could not fly too low. They only attacked a pilot below at an altitude of more than 100 meters. When the Russian army's mn artillery was ready to fire, he immediately lowered his height and dived towards the enemy. He fired a machine gun and hit the enemy. When the plane flew over there, he did not forget to fire again.Dropped a bomb on them. As a result, after he left, there was only one mn cannon that had been blown up and some dead bodies. After the bombs were thrown, all the machine gun bullets were given to the Russian troops. Air Force Commander Gao Xiang made a gesture to his wingman Wang Shun. He wanted to go back to reload his fighter plane with bombs. Wang Shun saw it and immediately followed him. After more than ten minutes of flight, they returned to their temporary field airport. This airport was also quite crude. The aircraft at that time did not need a flight runway of several kilometers like modern large aircraft. They only needed more than a hundred meters. With the help of thousands of Qing troops, they also pushed the battlefield forward. Without advancement, the aircraft's endurance was too low and its time in the air was too short, only more than thirty minutes. The runway was also made temporarily. They compacted the snow in the flat snow and clearly marked it on both sides. This became a simple runway. Gao Xiang aligned himself with the runway and narrowed the fuel. The mn put down the brake wings and landed safely. As soon as he climbed out of the cockpit, he hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, hurry up and load the ammunition." The ground staff at the airport immediately pushed the plows over, which were full of fuel and ammunition. The ground staff and the Qing troops who helped quickly gave them to him. The plane was filled with fuel and replenished bombs. Gao Xiang kept saying on the side: "Install as many as possible." Several maintenance personnel were carefully inspecting the plane. They found that there were some bullet marks on the bottom of the plane and on the back of the fuselage. Several dngs were also penetrated by rifle bullets. They knew that their commander had experienced a hard battle. Text Chapter 363 Air-Ground Coordinated Operations Text Chapter 363 Air-Ground Coordinated Operations Chapter 363 Air-Ground Coordinated Operations Chapter 363 Air-Ground Coordinated Operations Twenty minutes later, all preparations for takeoff were completed. Gao Xiang and Wang Shun's planes were pushed back to the takeoff line. Gao Xiang's plane was already obvious. The ground was overweight. He increased the gas and released the brakes. The plane began to taxi slowly, and the runway retreated quickly. It was not until it was almost at the end of the runway that Gao Xiang pulled up the nose of the plane and began to fly into the air. At this time, he saw several more planes coming back to add fuel and replenishment. He just made a gesture to them and quickly flew towards the battlefield. He could see the battlefield from a distance. It was still full of artillery fire, and the smoke and explosions of artillery shells were everywhere. His vision was not very good. He turned around in the air. The enemy no longer had complete artillery and artillery. He had to focus on looking for the enemy. The Russian army below the command organization was full of running crowds. Gao Xiang searched carefully in the air. Suddenly Gao Xiang found a place where there was a small patch of woods. The enemy there behaved differently. There were no Russian troops running around. Some Russian troops were panicked, but they still had some order. They were obviously different from other Russian troops. It was different. Gao Xiang was happy when he saw it. He waved to the wingman who was following him, then immediately turned the nose of the plane and rushed towards it. After getting closer, I took a closer look here. Sure enough, this is one of their headquarters. There are many flags in the woods. The Russian soldiers stood there neatly. Gao Xiang immediately started to attack them. First, he fired machine guns and then dropped bombs. Wingman Wang Shun was not polite and attacked them with the captain, violently hitting the ground while shouting continuously. The fierce attack by the two of them also attracted the interest of other arms. First, the officers of the artillery observation post discovered that the actions of the two aircraft were somewhat abnormal. In the large artillery mirror, they discovered that it was a command of the enemy. The department then asked the cannon to help them, and soon a shell was fired at the plane. When the plane saw that the cannon was helping, it hurriedly raised the level, and then a round of shells completely eliminated the place. They didn¡¯t know that their actions were epoch-making because they had achieved the world¡¯s first true air-ground coordinated operation. The Russian army had been completely knocked unconscious in front of the fierce artillery fire. Most of them were lying on the ground and did not dare to move. Only a few people were rushing towards them. This created conditions for the artillery once again, and the artillery roared again. More Russian soldiers fell. The fierce bombing of the Russian army has achieved very good results. The armored vehicles, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally waited for the order for them to attack. The tanks roared and began a fierce charge towards the enemy. Behind them, some infantry soldiers also started to move. They followed the armored vehicle and rushed forward. At this time, the Russian army had already lost all fighting spirit. When they saw the armored vehicles rushing over, the Russian soldiers threw away their rifles, raised their hands high and knelt on the ground to surrender to the squadron. Some Russian soldiers who were already frightened were holding the weapons in their hands. While still holding the gun, he was immediately eliminated by the infantry following the armored vehicle. The armored vehicles were in front and the infantry followed. As soon as they discovered a large number of Russian troops, they divided and surrounded them and asked them to surrender. If they did not surrender, they would be eliminated resolutely. There are only two roads, and there will definitely be no third road. The entire encirclement was compressed into the central area. By the evening of the next day, only a few small pieces of Russian troops were still remaining. The soldiers were not in a hurry to attack, but they used mortars to attack them just a few hundred meters away. As soon as the gunfire sounded, Those Russian troops no longer had the courage to hold on, and they all began to surrender. If there were any soldiers who dared to resist their own soldiers without opening their eyes, they would not forgive them, and they would die in the hands of their own soldiers. Now only the guard of Lieutenant General Kuzlev is still holding on. The general has already been scared to death by the cannon. The crazy attacks Gao Xiang and Wang Shun had on them caused a lot of losses to his guard. Later, with the help of the artillerymen, many of his officers were killed and injured. If an officer hadn't died on him and blocked a lot of shrapnel for him, he would have gone to see their God. Now the Chinese The artillery had stopped firing, but the "cars" that could fire heavy machine guns and countless infantry rushed up again. When it got dark, those weird cars turned on their front headlights. Dozens of beams of light shone on the remaining Russian troops. They were huddled together under the strong light, but those in the shadows were in their hands. But he couldn't see anything on the black muzzle. Lieutenant General Kuzlev sighed and said to his officers: "Surrender, we may still have a way to survive." This time, Lieutenant General Kuzlev looked like a soldier. He pushed away the soldiers surrounding him and walked towards the front of the middle man alone. He held his proud command knife with a gold handle in both hands and walked slowly towards the middle man. Not far behind him was a RussianThe military officer held a Russian military flag in his hand. An infantry battalion commander stepped forward and took the command knife from his hand. He raised the knife high and shouted into the distance: "We are victorious." The soldiers around him also shouted loudly. Stand up: "We have won." Another beautiful battle of annihilation. Li Zhenhua now sets his sights on Alexeyev, the Russian governor of Siberia in Harbin. In two battles, they wiped out nearly 120,000 troops in their hands. It won¡¯t be too many, just 40,000 to 50,000 people. The following is worried that they will run away if they know the news. Li Zhenhua summoned the officers of his rapid force Zhang Zuolin, Yang Yuntian, and Zhang Yang, the commander of the armored vehicle unit and the commander of the air force. , commander of the airship force. On the wall was a map of Harbin. Li Zhenhua said to the officers attending the meeting: "Brothers, we fought well in this battle. Our brothers from the Korean Division who participated in the battle for the first time also fought well, but we If the Russian troops in front of us know the news of the failure of their troops, they will definitely flee. Therefore, I decided: We must surround them with lightning speed and completely eliminate them in the Harbin area." Text Chapter 364 Carry forward the style of continuous combat Text Chapter 364 Carry forward the style of continuous fighting Chapter 364 Carry forward the style of continuous fighting Chapter 364 Carry forward the style of continuous fighting "This requires us to be able to carry forward the style of continuous fighting that is not afraid of hardship, tiredness and continuous fighting. We cannot rest and must hurry up before the enemy escapes. They were surrounded before. "" Let me ask Chief of Staff Feng to introduce the combat missions of each unit. "This time Li Zhenhua did not discuss with the officers below but started to arrange the combat missions directly. Feng Guozhang walked to the map: "Everyone, time is tight and the task is heavy. I won't talk nonsense. Yang Yitian, First Cavalry Division." Yang Yitian immediately stood up: "Arrival." "You will arrive in the area north of Harbin immediately and be responsible for blocking the Russian army's escape to the north. "Retreat." "It is to ensure the completion of the mission." "Second Cavalry Division Zhang Yang" Zhang Yang stood up: "Come here" "Your unit is responsible for blocking the Russian army's retreat to Mudanjiang." Zhang Yang: "It's me. "Promise not to let this old man escape." "Guard Battalion Sun Feihu" Guard Battalion Commander Sun Feihu immediately stood up: "Here." "You leave a platoon responsible for the safety of the leader and the rest of the troops will arrive here immediately." Feng Guozhang pointed to the northwest of Harbin City. He continued: "Block the passage to the northwest for the Russian army here." Sun Feihu hesitated for a moment and thought to himself: "What should the leader do?" Here Li Zhenhua said: "What's wrong, you don't dare to go?" "There's nothing you dare not do, but What about the chief's safety? " "It doesn't matter. If you fight there, I'll be safe here." Sun Feihu knew that as long as the chief made up his mind, there would be no problem, so he immediately said: "I promise to complete the mission." After a few people went out, they immediately started taking action. Several troops drove away to the north. When Li Biao found out, he immediately gathered the cavalry of his troops and asked them to follow the headquarters' guard battalion and move with them. There are still thirty-two vehicles of the armored force. Let them quickly advance to the southern standby airship unit of Harbin. The airship unit will immediately take action to conduct reconnaissance of the enemy and provide enemy information reports to all units. The air force's planes are moving slower, allowing them to start taking action as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness. Li Zhenhua said to Zhang Zuolin: "I'll leave the matter of Harbin to you. Make sure to completely wipe out the enemy. You pass in front and I will be there soon." The troops then began to take action. A large number of troops began to move to the north. The task of the two Korean divisions was to move in the southeast. The direction was to block the enemy's road to prevent them from escaping towards Vladivostok. Feng Guozhang ordered the troops to hand over the prisoners to Nie Shicheng and other Qing troops and put them in charge of management and transfer to Anshan and Fushun. All those who can work will go, and those who cannot work will be allowed to return to Harbin by themselves. Once these people return, they will not add any combat effectiveness to the enemy. They will only increase the burden on the enemy and undermine the morale of the army. In this battle, many people spontaneously participated in the battle. Some of them were hunters in the mountains and forests, farmers gathering ginseng, and farmers from all over the country. They all organized themselves spontaneously or simply joined the fight against the Russian army. They used their weapons. Wuhua has shotguns, muskets, broadswords, spears, sticks, etc. Feng Guozhang asked Li Zhenhua what to do with these people? Li Zhenhua said: "It's better to give them the weapons of the Russian army and let them arm themselves. If anyone dares to attack China again, first ask them if they can pass the test of us ordinary people." "Yes, these ordinary people. But it was so good that they didn't say anything on the battlefield. They were not afraid of life or death for those old thugs. Compared with the Qing army who left the people and ran away, it was so good. "A staff officer came over and gave Li Zhenhua a telegram. This was sent from Tsushima Island about the battle with the Russian Pacific Fleet. After Li Zhenhua read it, he handed the telegram to Feng Guozhang. Feng Guozhang looked at it carefully and said to Li Zhenhua: "It seems that the Russian Pacific Fleet did not get any benefits at sea." It turns out that the Russian Pacific Fleet sent troops to our Weihai and Lushun in order to cooperate with the operations on land. Coming from the direction, they knew that Tsushima Island was in the hands of the Chinese at this time, so they did not dare to be careless. They knew that the original Japanese fleet was much stronger than the current Russian fleet, but they just lost it in one battle. They were eaten by the Chinese. This time they mobilized the entire main force of the Pacific Fleet and came over. They said they support the Army's actions, but the Navy is interested in China's two bases in Lushun and Weihai. Their purpose is to take down these two bases. In order to give your navy a port that won¡¯t freeze in winter, let¡¯s talk about the best support for building an army.That is to say, fighting a few good battles distracted the enemy and achieved their goal. So they accelerated their sailing speed and headed towards Lushun and Weihai. But after arriving in the Tsushima waters, we found that the Chinese had blocked the channel with mines. That was the information they obtained in exchange for a fast gunboat. A gunboat hit a mine and was blown up by a mine in front. Fortunately, there was a large fleet behind it. Otherwise, these Everyone has to be thrown here. There were Chinese airships at high altitudes in the distance, monitoring the other side. A few nautical miles away, their cruisers were guarding the Pacific Fleet. Lieutenant General Cherkoski, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, was a little worried. He had to ask the people below to send out minesweepers to start clearing mines. The operation cannot move forward unless the channel is cleared. The entire fleet slowed down and followed the minesweepers. Lieutenant General Cherkoski, commander of the Pacific Fleet, was no longer afraid. He knew that the Chinese navy was now staring at the Germans. They were not afraid. I will use all my strength to deal with them. As long as I cross this minefield and enter the Yellow Sea, my powerful fleet firepower will make the Chinese suffer. The powerful firepower of the "Queen Ekaterina" battleship under their feet and the "Petrov" battleship behind them was beyond the ability of their two cruisers to withstand. Pacific Fleet Commander Cherkosky stood on the bridge. He raised the telescope in his hand and looked into the distance. There was nothing in front of him. He felt that China's Weihai and Lushun were already in his hands. He was happy but didn't know that his danger was approaching him. The two submarines that had been waiting for a long time had already targeted his battleship. Text Chapter 365 Little Wolf Pack Text Chapter 365 Little Wolf Pack Chapter 365 Little Wolf Pack Chapter 365 Little Wolf Pack It turns out that as soon as they saw the Russian Pacific Fleet approaching, the airship in the sky immediately reported their situation to the cruiser, and the cruiser ordered the submarine to enter as quickly as possible. In combat mode, the submarines slowly submerged into the water, leaving only the periscopes still on the surface. Several submarines were approaching them below. ,beat. Bar) The submarine at the front is "Qian No. 1", which is a submarine personally commanded by the commander of the submarine force Luo Shijun. The other submarines behind are "Qian No. 02", "Qian No. 11", "Qian No. 12", and "Qian No. 12". Although the team of "Dian No. 13" and "Dian No. 14" boats is not yet large, it has begun to take shape as a small "wolf pack". This time, this small group of wolves will be used to deal with Russia's huge Pacific Fleet. There is no way to deal with submarines in the world now. The only way is to use naval guns to attack the submarines after discovering them. However, those submarines will not be discovered so easily. They have already studied them themselves. The long tactics began to approach the enemy. Luo Shijun looked at the Russian fleet getting closer and closer in the periscope. He had already issued an order: after the submarine commanded the torpedo, each boat began to attack freely. After the attack, each boat would withdraw from the battle on its own. The specific tactics have been practiced many times. However, current submarines have great limitations. First, they only have a passive listening sonar system that can hear the enemy's movements, but it cannot measure distance or accurate direction. It only has a rough direction. The main observation method is The periscope detects the enemy in the periscope and then launches an attack on the enemy. The only means of attack is the six torpedoes. In addition, not only is the enemy's fleet on your submarine, but there are also mines laid by yourself. The mines will not distinguish whether you are your own or not. Therefore, they all control the depth to the maximum depth, which is fifteen meters. Touching d with his hand, Luo Shijun ordered his boat again: "Continue to dive to fifteen meters and load the torpedoes in the No. 1 and No. 2 tubes." "The loading of the No. 1 tubes is completed" "The loading of the No. 2 tubes is completed" Luo Shijun said to himself in his heart that no matter how close it is, A little closer, until he was estimated to be about 500 yards away from the enemy warship, he issued the order: "Turn left fifteen degrees on the 1st." After a slight pause, which was only a few dollars, Luo Shijun issued the second order: " No. 2. "With two slight vibrations, the two torpedoes rushed out of the tube and sank downwards. Then they started their engines and dragged the white lng flowers towards the enemy warship quickly. The sailors of the Russian battleship "Queen Catherine" were all paying attention to the waterway ahead, but some sailors were also paying attention to the sides. When they spotted the torpedoes rushing towards them, they immediately screamed, "Torpedoes." "Torpedo" When the captain of the battleship discovered the torpedo, he was too late to evade it. The two torpedoes sprayed out white spray and rushed straight towards the front and rear of the battleship. The sailors' report was already too late, but the key point was that the battleship was at this time. In a narrow waterway cleared by a minesweeper, they were unable to evade at all. The only thing they can do now is to let the sailors below use the secondary guns to hit the torpedoes and let them explode far away from the battleship. However, the secondary guns cannot be moved at will. They must ensure that the gunners are at their posts. It is necessary to take off the gun jacket first, lower the muzzle, and load the shells to aim at the fast-moving torpedo before firing. But it is difficult to say this when the gunners are not prepared. Two loud noises happened almost at the same time, followed by two huge vibrations that made Pacific Fleet Commander Cherkoski fall down on the bridge. The huge explosion raised a water column and wet everyone on the bridge. At the same time, on the warship Two large dngs were torn apart from the front and back, and the sea water surged in. After the fleet commander was helped up by his men, they found that the warship had begun to tilt. Two large dngs of water were pouring into the warship from there. The sailors on the warship immediately began to abandon the ship and escape. They didn't care about the cold water. Jumping down desperately. A gunboat rushed over and they wanted to rescue the people on the battleship, but there was a huge noise. It turned out that they had hit a mine. The warships behind found that more torpedo marks appeared on their side. At this time, the entire fleet is up. Acrobats cannot be busy walking on a tightrope. If you panic, you will lose your balance. The audience will all boo you. But the current Pacific Fleet is like walking on a tightrope that has just been cleared. A narrow channel does not allow you to walk. The result will not be boos from the audience but the cost of life. They are fighting underwater submarines here, but there is trouble on their heads. It turns out that the airships conducting reconnaissance in the air are now taking advantage of it to come to them again. They are throwing bombs and bombs at them from the air.?The sharpshooters equipped on the grenade airship had to target the officers on the warship and beat the drowned dogs. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the four warships of the Pacific Fleet, the heaviest hit was the flagship "Queen Ekaterina" of Pacific Fleet Commander Cherkosky. Now it has rolled over. However, those Russian warships no longer cared about the safety of the flagship. Their own safety was the most important. The sailors of the fleet fired their secondary guns and fired violently at the torpedoes. Some sailors were firing in the direction of the torpedoes. There were Chinese submarines. Only by eliminating them can you escape danger. When a shell hit the submarine "Qian No. 012", strings of bubbles appeared there. The Russian ship began to reverse quickly. They had to exit the minefield before they could take the next step. A cruiser rammed and sank a gunboat in panic. However, its own huge propeller was also seriously injured, but it still escaped the fate of sinking. The remaining warships of the Pacific Fleet did not care about rescuing their own sailors and fled back in a hurry to fight the invisible enemy. That is the most dangerous thing. No one is willing to do such a stupid thing. The flagship of the Pacific Fleet finally sank. The huge whirlpool it caused sucked the sailors who had jumped into the sea back into the water, allowing them to continue to accompany their huge steel bodies. Few of the nearly a thousand soldiers survived. The submarines continued to beat the drowned dogs, and completely sent the three warships that were still holding on to the bottom of the sea. They stopped working when they saw that all the enemy warships had lost their combat effectiveness. They floated up from the water, but only four submarines came up. The two submarines "Qian No. 012" and "Qian No. 014" have sunk. Text Chapter 366 The Governor¡¯s Inspiration Text Chapter 366 The Governor's Inspiration Chapter 366 The Governor's Inspiration Chapter 366 The Governor's Inspiration Luo Shijun brought the submarine close to the place where they sank. He ordered the flag on the submarine to be flown at half-mast. All officers and soldiers paid tribute to the souls of those heroes. After doing all this, they saw some Russian sailors struggling in the cold water. He suppressed the grief in his heart and let the soldiers rescue them on the submarine and return home. In this battle we lost two submarines and forty-six men, while the enemy lost one battleship, three cruisers, mines and a gunboat, and they themselves rammed and sank a gunboat, and they lost more than 2,300 people. Deng Shichang knew that Li Zhenhua wanted to know the situation here very much, so he hurriedly reported to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said to Feng Guozhang: "They are all heroes. Tell the whole army to commend and reward the officers and soldiers of the submarine force." "Yes, I suggest that we We need to publicize and praise the navy in a big way. Anyway, we are not afraid of them running away now." "Well, we should publicize and praise them in a big way to encourage the people across the country. This also reminds the Germans that we are not afraid of you. If you are not honest, we will do the same to you." "Yes, the main thing is to give the Germans a beating." "And let Lao Deng and others block the Russians in Vladivostok, prevent them from coming out, blockade the port, and look for opportunities to teach them a lesson. As soon as they do, we will be free to solve the problem in Qingdao." News of the Sino-Russian naval war was published in newspapers all over the next day. The airship took photos of the Russian navy's warships. There were not many words. Just a few dozen words: "There was a fierce battle between the Chinese and Russian navies in the Tsushima Strait. The Russian Pacific Fleet was sunk by our fleet. Four warships were sunk. One of the battleships and three cruisers. The battleship was the flagship of the Russian Pacific Fleet, Queen Catherine." A Russian gunboat was sunk by a mine and a gunboat was rammed and sunk by its own warship. The Russian side lost more than 2,300 people, and we lost 46 people. " "In addition, our navy began to blockade our Vladivostok port occupied by Russia. " By this time, the Russian Governor-General of Siberia, General Alexeyev, already knew that the reinforcements he sent had been wiped out. This was something he could not have imagined. In more than half a month, that squadron was wiped out twice in great victories. They lost their own 120,000 people, but they only have 70,000 people. This is really unbelievable. But if you don't believe it, what can you do? "Don't send all the injured soldiers back. There are nearly seven or eight thousand of them. Now I can't run away even if I want to. What should I do with these thousands of people?" If we leave them alone, people won't be able to curse themselves to death when we go back. But how can we leave with them? This makes Siberian Governor General Alexeyev really worried. A bottle of vodka has been consumed and he has not yet come up with a good solution. At this time, an indifferent guard came to cheer him up again: "Report" Governor Alexeyev ignored him, but his second report came again: "The Qing army has taken all our retreat routes. "Cut off." "What?" General Alexeyev asked again, not believing the information. "The Qing army has cut off all our retreat routes." At this time, General Alexeyev was a little groggy. Who knew that someone else would come to add to it at this time: "Report" Alexeyev's lungs were exhausted at this time. I'm about to explode. I'm going crazy now. You guys are here to make me more angry. He immediately yelled: "Pull him out and shoot him." The people outside immediately yelled, "Sir, you can't! It's the Qing people who asked me to come." The messenger was still waiting for a reply. "His voice saved General Alexeyev from yelling any more. After a while, he said: "Let him in." A guard came in. He said to Mr. Governor: "An officer came outside. He said he had brought a letter to you." He handed a letter in his hand to General Alexeyev and the Governor took the letter seriously. Reading it, the letter said this: "Your Majesty the Governor: I have wiped out 120,000 of your 150,000 troops under my two strikes. How many more troops do you have that can go into battle? Now ours The 150,000-strong squadron has completely surrounded you. Two roads are in front of you. One is to surrender to us immediately and we will treat you favorably. The other is to start fighting immediately and wait until the battle is defeated before surrendering. Which of these two roads do you think is better? ? I advise you not to let your soldiers bleed and die. I can make you more dignified. "Li Zhenhua, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Navy and Army" Governor Alexeyev shouted angrily and picked up the letter. He threw it to the ground and yelled at the soldier: "Get out of here." Everyone withdrew.Alexeyev sat down slowly in the governor's room. He knew that the two roads given by the Chinese were actually one road, which was to surrender to them. 150,000 people were defeated by 70,000 people. For the first time, he had a solid city wall, so it didn't cost them anything. This second time, more than 50,000 of my troops were eliminated in just over a day. This second time, I was definitely the main force. Where can I put my face? Things have reached this stage, and there is no face left to talk about. . Fighting is no longer possible. They suffered no losses at all in the two battles. The more they fight, the more their troops grow. They already have 150,000 people, but they have lost 120,000 people. Now, except for their own guards and the more than 10,000 Cossack cavalry, they can still do it. They didn't dare to think about anything else in the last battle. The original troops of 60,000 and 50,000 were no match for them, and the 30,000 to 40,000 people they had in hand were simply not enough for them to fight. Alexeyev sat there thinking for a long time, unable to make up his mind what to do. Suddenly Governor Alexeyev was inspired. He wanted to listen to the opinions of his officers. This was a rare thing. Governor Alexeyev had always been stubborn. He himself had no ability, but he never listened to others. But the people he knew didn't want to be beaten, so let's use their mouths to surrender. The remaining officers had already been waiting outside the mn. When they heard that the Governor was going to have a meeting, they all came in politely. Governor Alexeev circulated the letter from the squadron to them and then said to everyone: "Now that things are like this, I want to hear your opinions. Should we fight or not?" Text Chapter 367 Surrender Ceremony Text Chapter 367 Surrender Ceremony Chapter 367 Surrender Ceremony Chapter 367 Surrender Ceremony Those officers under my command, look at me, look at you, no one is talking, Alexeyev thought, it won¡¯t work if you don¡¯t speak, then I will Let me tell you one by one. He first looked at the Cossack Major General and the Cavalry Division Commander. When that guy saw the Governor, he ordered General. So the Major General had to say: "I think we can fight, but our morale is too low and our supplies are too low." Not enough" "What do you mean?" General Alexeyev interrupted: "To fight or not to fight?" "I don't think we can fight." Alexeyev said. His eyes turned to a major general of the infantry, and the major general said hurriedly: "Your Majesty the Governor, all my men now have gone to take care of those they put back. There are no soldiers left to fight." In Alexey Under the direction of General Hu, the officers all made speeches. Basically, they all had the same idea and could not fight. So General Alexeyev had to say hypocritically: "I want to have a bloody battle with them, but you If you don't want to fight, then I can't fight, so let's go and inform the Qing people that we won't fight." He didn't say the word "surrender" from beginning to end. It seems that this senior official is at his level. High. The Russian courier immediately rushed back to the southern suburbs of Harbin and handed the reply letter from the Russian Governor of Siberia, General Alexeyev, into the hands of Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua glanced at it and handed the letter to Feng Guozhang, "They have no fighting spirit and have decided to surrender. Okay." We can also save some shells." Feng Guozhang read the letter and smiled at Li Zhenhua: "Isn't this Alexeyev quite sensible? Let's make him live more comfortably in the prison camp. We can save a lot of shells and let them eat better." "Old Feng, please arrange for them to put down their weapons and leave the city to make way for us to enter the city." "I said we should hold a surrender ceremony. This is for us. It's a good move to boost the morale of the whole people." "Okay, just arrange it. Don't forget to ask the staff officers to report in detail the history of these wars. Do we want to show off our country's prestige and attack Germany first? Then we will consider how to deal with the Germans." Feng Guozhang agreed and started to prepare. The time was quickly set. A grand surrender ceremony will be held tomorrow morning. Soldiers and civilians from all over the country will be invited to participate. Reporters accompanying the army are indispensable. At the same time, they are still in Harbin. Some foreigners also asked them to participate to expand their influence. The relevant officers below were all busy. Li Zhenhua began to check the recent intelligence from various aspects. First of all, the intelligence sent by the Intelligence Department from Beijing said that North Korea and China were currently negotiating with Germany. It was led by Weng Tonghe. It turned out that North Korea and China were negotiating. Li Hongzhang was in charge, but Li Zhenhua's objection was that Li Hongzhang was relatively close to the Germans, and now the Germans suddenly attacked with such a move, which made Li Hongzhang's face miserable, so Li Hongzhang also refused to negotiate with Haijing. Therefore, Emperor Guangxu had no choice but to let Weng Tonghe negotiate. This was also a trap dug by Li Hongzhang and Xu Geng for Weng Tonghe. Li Zhenhua estimated that the Germans would play Weng Tonghe to death this time. If the contract was signed, Weng Tonghe would also let him Those Qingliu people were scolded half to death. Although Li Zhenhua had the intention to intervene, things here made him unable to separate himself. He had no choice but to take it out on the Russians and hit them hard during the negotiations with Russia. It also allows the people of the country to see the difference between themselves and those officials of the Qing Dynasty. The surrender ceremony was held outside the city of Harbin the next morning. Feng Guozhang arranged a regiment of infantry soldiers and a regiment of cavalry as a guard of honor for his side. The troops who entered the city had already heard the news and came over. The common people surrounded the square. Some local people spontaneously celebrated in various forms. They beat gongs and drums, danced the Yangko, and set off firecrackers. The people bought up all the firecrackers for dozens of miles around. The firecracker paper on the ground was thick. layer. Under Feng Guozhang's deliberate arrangement, many foreigners also participated in today's surrender ceremony. Some Germans, British, French, Koreans, Japanese, etc. also arrived outside the city early and specially arranged a better location for them. It was to let them see more clearly, but the reporters took good care of them and took many photos of them. The clothes of these "foreigners", especially those "foreign women", are eye-opening to those who have never seen foreigners. Even though it is a severe cold winter, they are wearing skirts and various precious fur clothes, but they have trousers underneath. Some people are worried about their legs. Aren't they cold? These people include everyone: soldiers and military attach¨¦s, businessmen, missionaries, spies, migrant workers, etc.Those who specialize in the leather business are either sent by the government or the military, or by business groups. Of course, many of them come on their own. All of them were witnesses to the squadron¡¯s liberation of Harbin. They recorded this great moment in various ways and spread it around the world as quickly as possible. Alexeyev, the Russian governor of Siberia, led his remaining defeated generals to the outside of the city. Li Zhenhua was already waiting there. Behind him were the generals of his new army. In addition, Nie Shicheng Rui and other generals of the original Qing army. They are all here, but their clothes seem a bit awkward on today's occasion. They are wearing armor and a red "S" helmet on their head. From time to time, they feel that there is nothing inappropriate about their combat attire, but in today's scene, it is It seems so inconsistent. Especially Chang Rui, the hero guarding Harbin, was feeling emotional at this moment. Wanduan thought that not long ago he was going to live and die with this city, but he didn't expect that the soldiers of the new army saved him and his brothers and actually let them. I said it was right to give myself a complete Harbin, and it really came true. At this time, he and several of his soldiers had tears in their eyes. The lineup of the Chinese New Army opened the eyes of all those who participated in the surrender ceremony. The weapons of the squadron were shocking. First of all, the murderous look of the soldiers in the squadron made people shudder. It was definitely not trained on the field, but in battle with the enemy. It comes naturally from fighting many battles. There are also those armored vehicles that were in the squadron formation. They made great contributions in the battle. There are also those cannons that can fire accurately, which made some Germans present very unhappy. The cannons are the same and there is no difference between them and ours. But why can't our cannons unleash their tremendous power? Text Chapter 368 Surrender Ceremony Text Chapter 368 Surrender Ceremony Chapter 368 Surrender Ceremony Chapter 368 Surrender Ceremony (2) There are also those small cannons that are only a few tens of centimeters high, which are the best weapons for infantry. They can hit any enemy shells at a distance of one thousand meters. The curved vertical strike leaves you with no place to hide. The soldiers' rifles also have some barrels, which are also sharp weapons for killing people. They are definitely the best killers at the enemy's firepower point at a distance of several hundred meters. Just the equipment on the Chinese infantry makes people nng not understand what they are used for. But ordinary people nng don't understand, but those soldiers understand that the Kedu-style weapons are not available in other countries in the world, so they can only be If anyone dares to confront the squadron head-on with the Chinese talents, he must think carefully about it. . Seeing that the senior officers of the Russian army had already stood at the designated position, some senior officers of the squadron, such as Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang, came out. An officer faced the venue and shouted in a long voice: "General Li Zhenhua, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, Navy and Air Force, is here!" Then he turned to Li Zhenhua and shouted loudly: "Salute!" All the soldiers present saluted the God of War in their hearts. The officers in front of the queue raised their hands and saluted, while all the officers and soldiers in the queue saluted with attention. The soldiers' movements were uniform. Just this one movement shocked everyone. The momentum of the military order was fully reflected here. d Li Zhenhua wore military uniform and walked onto the newly built surrender stage. In the middle of the stage, Li Zhenhua saluted his soldiers. The officer on duty ran to the surrender stage and loudly reported to Li Zhenhua: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief that the surrender ceremony has been prepared. Please give instructions from the Commander-in-Chief." Li Zhenhua also announced loudly in a longer voice: "The surrender ceremony will begin now." The happy crowd fell silent and the whole audience fell silent. There was silence, only the sound of the wind blowing the flag. The Russian governor of Siberia, General Alexeev, held his saber in both hands. This was the command sword given to him by the Russian Tsar himself. This represents General Alexeev's supreme honor. But now this knife is undergoing an extremely humiliating process for them. A Russian officer walking behind held a folded military flag in his hands, and the two walked toward Li Zhenhua with heavy steps. When he came to Li Zhenhua, he first gave Li Zhenhua a standard military salute and then said to Li Zhenhua in Russian: "I, the Governor of Siberia of the Russian Empire, Baron Yevgeny Alexeyev, formally express my gratitude to General Li Zhenhua, Commander-in-Chief of the Qing Empire's armed forces. Surrender." After the translator translated his words loudly into Chinese, he bent down and handed the saber to Li Zhenhua with both hands. Sun Feihu took a step forward, took the saber, then turned around and handed the saber to Li Zhenhua's hand and took the saber from him. An officer took over the military flag from the Russian army. Li Zhenhua said loudly to General Yevgeny Alexeyev: "I accept the surrender of your Russian army. Now I order your troops to lay down their weapons and withdraw from Harbin." Assemble at the designated location and stand by. "The three-S flag of the Russian Empire was lowered from the upper floor of a Russian-style church. A big red S-dragon flag was raised. The big bell on the bell tower rang and the crowd began to cheer again. The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers in people's hands rang again. Yang Yitian, commander of the First Cavalry Division, loudly ordered: "The entry into the city begins." The heroic cavalry soldiers, fully armed and riding tall horses, marched into the city from outside the city in neat lines. Behind the cavalry are those infantry soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. Their footsteps are uniform and the mighty division gives people a shock. The murderous aura formed in each soldier cannot be practiced by anyone. It has been practiced many times. Formed through the baptism of battle. General Yevgeny Alexeev, the governor of Siberia of the Russian Empire, who was cowering aside, saw the squadron entering the city. He sighed in his heart that it would be impossible for Russia to defeat them with such an army. After the squadron entered the urban area of ??Harbin, Li Zhenhua immediately put up notices everywhere to protect the interests of the people. For those foreign businessmen and expatriates, especially Russian businessmen, he also asked them to work hard. As long as they do not oppose us, we will protect your legal operations. The troops were warmly welcomed by the local people. However, the lives of those people were also extremely difficult. Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang discussed it and asked him to quickly distribute a lot of winter food, cotton-padded clothes, etc. to the people. Anyway, a large amount of Russian military supplies were seized, which amounted to only tens of thousands. When it comes to the life of the Russian army, we cannot ignore the fact that those who are young and strong can immediately support themselves, but those who are old, weak, sick, disabled, and those who are injured should be sent back home as soon as possible. We cannot support them all the time. We can't just wipe out everyone like them, but this is a war and it's normal for some people to go missing. The two North Korean divisions asked them to return to North Korea first. This time they had no losses and only gained some battlefields.The main task after returning from ??'s experience was to continue to keep an eye on the Russian garrison in Vladivostok. This time, they were also equipped with radio stations so that they could contact Liaoning if they had anything to do, so that they could reduce some of their own burdens when they returned. The problem of the invasion of the Russian army has been solved. Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang discussed it and asked Xu Shichang, the imperial minister, to serve as the governor of the three northeastern provinces to take charge of the future construction work in the Northeast. I believe he will have no problem. In the original time and space, he himself took charge of the work in the Northeast. He has been working for three years but his work is excellent, so I will leave him here. As the commander-in-chief of the Northeastern forces, Zhang Zuolin will be responsible for the defense of the entire Northeast in the future. The current transportation in the Northeast is inconvenient. His cavalry can play a big role, allowing him to mobilize the masses to form an army and local military construction. He divides the troops into two parts. One is The regular army must first have four divisions of cavalry, and then mobilize the common people in various places to form militia organizations. The troops will provide weapons and they will be responsible for their own logistics. This reduces their own burden and also provides a large source of reserve troops for the Northeast region. . Now there are many hunters and farmers of various ethnic groups who have joined the army, so take the opportunity to expand the army. Li Zhenhua specially asked Zhang Zuolin: "You must pay attention to ethnic issues. You must not discriminate against all ethnic minorities and treat them equally. No one can You can't be too high or too low. If you unite them together, you can ensure peace in our Northeast region. But you can't let down your guard against Russia. They won't make any big moves in a few years. But you must keep an eye on their Far East Railway. When their railway is built, our troubles will arise again." Text Chapter 369 Accident Text Chapter 369 Unexpected Events Chapter 369 Unexpected Events Chapter 369 Unexpected Events "The other one is that you must seize the time to reclaim the wasteland. There is a lot of black land in the northeast, which is the best land in the world. The land here is ten times better than the sandy land. Military As long as the mountain is relaxed, you have to provide me with a large amount of food while training and producing. You have to do both. " "The third thing is that there are many people here who have gone up the mountain to become bandits. You can't care for them. If they are harming the people, then we must resolutely eliminate them. "For those who cannot leave home temporarily, let them organize themselves into militia. You can organize an organization to manage them in counties, townships, and towns. Here are some things to do. Large villages or town shops organize grassroots militia organizations. Once something happens, they can go into battle. With weapons in their hands, they can fight wild beasts and attack invading enemies. Chang Rui, a hero of the Manchu people, made him the city defense commander of Harbin. Chang Rui also proposed to build a monument in Harbin. Li Zhenhua also agreed. He said that it must be done well and it should have great educational significance for the people. Anyway, Harbin is already in a mess now, so let him toss around here. It seems that he doesn't mean to be a person who harms the people, but I have given him a beating. If he dares to harm the people in the future, I can take his head anytime, anywhere. After hearing this, he immediately knelt on the ground and swore to Li Zhenhua: "If my slave dares to offend the master's power, I will die badly." Li Zhenhua immediately said to him: "Get up and remember that if you are a man, you can only give to your parents in the future. Kneel down and you can never kneel down for others. "Except for a few inappropriate ones, let the original local officials stay without any treatment and let Xu Shichang manage them in the future. Anyway, Xu Shichang has Shang Fang's sword in hand. If anyone dares not to listen, then deal with him first. He then wrote a letter to Xu Shichang, telling him about the situation of the battle with the Russian army and his arrangements here, and agreed with him that he would go to Fengtian in ten days and then go there to meet him. Li Zhenhua was writing a letter here. Feng Guozhang came again. He said to Li Zhenhua: "Look, the New Year is coming soon. We have to make arrangements for the New Year in advance." Li Zhenhua smiled and patted his head and said, "Look I'm so busy that I'm dizzy. " "Today is already the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and it will be the New Year in a few days. " "How about letting the troops relax? It's been a month. It¡¯s a good time to take a rest.¡± ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it. You can inform all the troops to pay attention to discipline issues and don¡¯t let them go.¡± Feng Guozhang went out and Li Zhenhua continued to write his letter and scheduled another meeting with Xu Shichang. After some adjustment, it was set on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. The next day, Li Zhenhua called Chang Rui and several others and asked him to find a place to build the "Monument to the Anti-Russian Heroes." They moved to the center of the city and spotted a place. Li Zhenhua meant to build it here. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "That's it." Here we are going to build a monument here so that future generations will remember the warriors who sacrificed their lives to defend our homeland." After that, he took off his coat and started to clean up the waste. He asked his guards. When Chang Rui saw that he was about to do it too, Li Zhenhua stopped him and said, "Forget it, your injury hasn't healed yet." Chang Rui was very moved and hurriedly I went to borrow tools from the nearby people and saw this group of people working. Slowly, some soldiers and people who knew the situation joined in. Everyone worked together to sort it out. It is estimated that the cleanup will be completed in two or three days. A staff officer came over and whispered a situation in Li Zhenhua's ear. As he said this, Li Zhenhua's face changed and he said, "No matter who it is, he must be shot." From a distance, he saw Chang Rui running over, but when he saw it When he saw Li Zhenhua's livid face, he was already frightened and did not dare to say anything to Li Zhenhua. It turns out that when they were notified to relax last night, the new troops knew that they were still the same as before, but they didn't need to be so nervous. However, several of Changrui's soldiers thought that they were the same as before. After capturing some place, the commanders would give The soldiers below have a few days off. During these days, those who are soldiers can do whatever they want. Military discipline will not care about them. They slipped out at night. It turned out that when they were stationed here, they knew that there was a family whose daughter was very good. So they went there. A group of soldiers made a big fuss there, but one soldier gave the family's daughter to that girl. Her grandmother, who was seeking death, was frightened to death at that time, which attracted many people to watch. At first, the family didn¡¯t dare to sayThen someone later said that the army that came this time was different from the original one. They were disciplined, so a man came to help them. This man was a scholar named Lin Zhengxuan. Since he failed the exam many times and had no money to lose his official position, he started Businessmen who have done business are very well-informed. He knows that Li Zhenhua's troops are cruel to the enemy but very caring and caring for the common people. So Lin Zhengxuan led the people to find the man who had harmed the daughter of a good family. When the law enforcement team heard about it, they hurriedly started searching. They heard that this man was wearing an old-style Qing army uniform, so the target was much smaller, so soon I found the person in Changrui and immediately recognized the person. The soldiers went up to arrest the person without any nonsense. The soldiers wanted to fight with the soldiers of the law enforcement team when they saw it. But when the people of the law enforcement team took it, Without the guy Chang Rui, all the soldiers were withered. The law enforcement team tied up a few soldiers and left. They wanted to report the situation to Li Zhenhua, but the soldiers of the Qing army also hurriedly reported to Chang Rui, saying that the law enforcement team and their men had been captured. They thought that with Chang Rui's Isn't it a small matter that the title of Harbin City Defense Commander saved several of Chang Rui's own soldiers? But the development of the matter was not what they thought. The man was tied up in front of Li Zhenhua by the soldiers of the law enforcement team. At this time, onlookers were also surrounding him. There were thousands of people on three floors inside and three outside. People could tell by looking at Li Zhenhua's face that he was really angry. Chang Rui had never seen him get angry since he met Li Zhenhua, but when he saw this look today, he was too frightened to say anything. Text Chapter 370 Iron Discipline Text Chapter 370 Iron Discipline Chapter 370 Iron Discipline Chapter 370 Iron Discipline Li Zhenhua first asked the plaintiff: "Don't be anxious. Let's talk about the matter first. I will definitely make the decision for you." The two old men at home hurriedly knelt on the ground, but were helped up by Li Zhenhua's soldiers and whispered to them: "Just say it, it's okay. Our leader will make the decision for you." The two cried. Lin Zhengxuan, who told them about their brutal behavior, also helped make some supplements. Li Zhenhua asked the soldier: "Are they right?" When the soldier saw that the matter had reached this stage and there was no cure, he said to Li Zhenhua: "Yes, sir, what they said is true." "Do you know our military discipline? ?" "I know." "Remember it." "I will kill you now. Are you convinced?" Li Zhenhua said to the soldiers of the Military Law Department: "Take it to the Military Law Department. A public trial and then military law enforcement." Chang Rui saw that this was not possible. He was his own soldier. He immediately said to Li Zhenhua: "General, please calm down and let him be spared for the sake of his bravery in fighting. Just this time. He killed seven or eight Russian soldiers and was wounded twice. He also saved the villain's life, so he asked the general to spare his life." Feng Guozhang said on the side: "General Chang Rui, please don't beg for mercy. It is discipline. An army must have iron discipline. An army that cannot enforce discipline cannot be invincible. Besides, the civilians cannot be angry if they don't kill." When they saw that they were really going to kill someone, some people began to sympathize with that person again. He was also a tough guy who fought against the Russian army. It would not be good if he died here. To say that the Chinese people are kind-hearted, Li Zhenhua asked everyone with a roaring voice: "Fellows, do you have anything else to say?" Some People asked him to be exempted from the death penalty and spare his life so that he could make atonement by killing Lao Mozi in the future. Those who were willing to let him die were unwilling to speak at this time. Li Zhenhua looked at it and said to everyone: "Folks, we will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter. Please leave." So people slowly dispersed. . The law enforcement team reported to Li Zhenhua that the Qing troops also committed robberies but there were no casualties, but the girl's grandmother was scared to death. Now all the things have been returned to the people and they are asking other people what to do with them. Li Zhenhua said: "Let the Military Law Office understand the situation and then talk." In the evening, Li Zhenhua called Chang Rui. He and Feng Guozhang talked with Chang Rui again. The soldier must enforce discipline, but he was fighting against the Russian army. If he has meritorious service, his funeral affairs must be taken care of and his family members must be compensated. His family members will be told that he died for the country. Feng Guozhang asked him to deliver food to the soldier in the evening and specially prepared wine for him. Since the New Year was approaching, he didn't waste time anymore. He dealt with him publicly the next day, which was also a lesson to others. As for the other soldiers, let Chang Rui deal with them personally. Chang Rui also figured out that without killing, military discipline cannot be maintained and civilians cannot be indignant. He decided to let other soldiers who committed crimes accompany them to the execution ground tomorrow to warn those soldiers. Finally, Chang Rui was dealt with for his lax military management, demoting him one rank and having his city defense commander add the word "generation" in front of him. Food has been prepared for the death row inmate in the kitchen. Chang Rui brought the meal to him. The two of them were in prison. Chang Rui told the death row prisoner Li Zhenhua's decision. The death row prisoner was also a tough guy. He said that he had been a stupid soldier all his life and now it was over. I understand that twenty years later I will be a good man and will serve as a soldier for Li Zhenhua. The trial meeting on the second day also went very smoothly, and the relationship between the New Army and the people became closer. They knew that this was a team that could fight and care for the people. He also handled the funeral affairs of the Qing soldier who was shot very well. He saw the fine coffin he used, which made the Qing soldiers admire him very much. A notice was posted on prominent walls throughout the city. It detailed the crimes committed by the Qing soldiers, followed by the treatment of those people. This was a lesson to the entire army. Li Zhenhua informed the entire army of the matter. . Let all soldiers know about this and let officers at all levels organize lower-level troops to study and discuss it to improve the discipline of the training troops and the awareness of caring for the common people. The media quickly disclosed the entire situation of the war against the Russian army. This made the taxis, farmers, industry, and businessmen across the country very happy. For a time, celebrations were going on all over the country. In addition, the Chinese New Year was about to come, and the mood of the people was very high. There was great joy and the sound of firecrackers was everywhere. The common people also marched in the street. This made the Russian Embassy in Beijing mn lively for several days. People gathered in front of the embassy mn and shouted slogans. Stones were thrown in. Many Russian sergeants were thrown in.The soldiers were facing a formidable enemy, but the people were not afraid. Later, the Prime Minister's Office sent troops to protect them, and then the common people were persuaded to leave. Li Zhenhua's strict handling of soldiers who violated military disciplines was also introduced in various media. At first, some officers were afraid of damaging the reputation of the New Army. However, they did not expect that people would support Li Zhenhua's New Army troops more, and more common people demanded. Join the New Army troops to defend your country. The New Year passed quickly. With the help of the New Army troops, the people of Harbin had a decent New Year. Every household was given rutabagas and white noodles, and the New Year dumplings were eaten very well. For Lin Zhengxuan, Li Zhenhua found that he was a very capable person, so he asked him to organize some more famous people to manage the city and also help Chang Rui's work. From then on, Lin Zhengxuan served as a civil servant in Harbin. Manage the city. The original official ran away after the Russian army arrived and did not defend the city with Chang Rui and the others. He has not come back yet. It seems that he does not plan to come back. In the future, there will be no capable people for the construction of the city. The original people have run away. Chang Rui is a soldier and can fight, but he is a layman for city construction. Therefore, Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang and Lin Zhengxuan had a good talk and told him. Lin Zhengxuan said that he had completely memorized many specific management methods and asked Li Zhenhua to rest assured. However, he finally asked Li Zhenhua to send him several experienced managers to help him with management. Li Zhenhua said: "It is difficult to be a leader, but it is not difficult at the same time. If you focus on doing things for the people, it will not be difficult. If you have a wrong mind, it will be difficult." Li Zhenhua has nothing else to do in the square these days. He held a groundbreaking ceremony for a monument to the anti-Russian heroes and asked them to start construction, and said that when it was completed, he would come and cut the ribbon for the monument. Text Chapter 371 Descendants of Tang Tingshu Text Chapter 371 Descendants of Tang Tingshu Chapter 371 Descendants of Tang Tingshu Chapter 371 Descendants of Tang Tingshu When Li Zhenhua arrived at Fengtian on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Xu Shichang had also arrived here in advance. Li Zhenhua planned to build this place into a military industrial base of his own. Natural resources such as steel, aluminum, zinc, coal mines, petrochemicals, electricity and other convenient transportation conditions. Northeast China has its own ports and railways. All these are favorable conditions here. It turns out that this place was also after the founding of New China in that time and space. heavy industrial base. Chapter) After the two met and talked for a while, Li Zhenhua immediately proposed to go downstairs and take a look around to understand the situation here. Xu Shichang had just arrived here and he was not familiar with it, so the two decided to go downstairs to have a look together. Of course, Lao Feng is indispensable. So a few people rested for a night and set out early the next morning. They decided to go to Fushun first, which is relatively close to Fengtian and just walk eastward. So they set off with horses and cars. Their first stop was Fushun in the east of Fengtian. Fushun has huge coal resources. It was mined in a day from the beginning. When they arrived here, it was really amazing. Not only did it turn out that the coal was really mined, but the workers and some Russian prisoners of war were there. Just clean the coal and load it into a truck and take it to the location. d Then I found the person in charge here. His surname was Tang and his given name was Tang Jieshu. He was from Tangjia Village, Tangjia Town, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province. He is a descendant of Tang Tingshu, a famous industrialist in the Qing Dynasty. In September of the second year of Guangxu (76), Mr. Tang Tingshu was sent by Li Hongzhang (at this time Tang Tingshu was the general office of the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau) to survey the Kaiping area of ????Tangshan and found that the area was rich in minerals and of high quality. In August of the following year, Li Sui sent Tang Tingshu to organize the project. Drafted the "Articles of Association of Zhili Kaiping Mining Bureau" to attract investment and collect shares. On July 25, the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the "Kaiping Mining Bureau" was formally established in Kaiping Town, Tangshan, Zhili. It was officially put into production in the seventh year of Guangxu. Employing 3,000 workers, the coal output increased to 3,600 tons in that year and increased to 38,000 tons in the next year and 75,000 tons in the third year. In fourteen years 9 it increased to 730,000 tons. The bureau continued to expand equipment and improve transportation conditions. In the 12th year of Guangxu's reign, the Kaiping Railway Company was established. In the 15th year of Guangxu's 9th year, it also purchased a coal ship to travel to Tianjin, Niuzhuang, Yantai and other places. By the 20th year of Guangxu 94), the number of ships increased to four. There are dedicated terminals and warehouses in ports such as Tanggu, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Niuzhuang. The coal produced by the bureau is mainly supplied to the Steamship Merchants Bureau and Tianjin Machinery Bureau. It also sells a large amount of coal in the market and makes huge profits. By the end of the 19th century, the total assets had reached nearly 6 million taels, making it the most successful company in the mining industry run by the Westernizationists. After the death of Tang Tingshu in the 18th year of Guangxu (92), Jiangsu alternate Dao Zhang Yi took over as the General Office. Due to the excessive cost of blind expansion and the borrowing of foreign debt, foreign monopoly forces gradually penetrated, mainly the British. At this time, the descendants of the Tang family gradually withdrew from the coal mines in Tangshan and returned to their hometown because they were dissatisfied with Zhang's behavior. However, when he heard that Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Group Company was going to launch large-scale mining in the Northeast, he decided to leave the mountain again and came to Tianjin. He was introduced to him by someone. I went to the Northeast again and met Xu Shichang in Jinzhou. Xu Shichang knew about his family situation and asked him to be the general manager of Fushun Coal Mine. He immediately ran to the Northeast. It turns out that this is a local coal mining entrepreneur. Li Zhenhua was very happy when he heard this and immediately expressed his full support to him in all his work and gave him whatever he wanted. Tang Jieshu said to Li Zhenhua: "The quality of the coal mines here is very good, but now the mining here is mainly manual. The production technology is backward, the output is low, and the transportation conditions are poor. To improve these, a lot of money is needed." Tang Jieshu thought for a moment and then said: " It will cost two million taels to carry out the minimum machine mining, and thousands of workers will be needed. The total number of workers needed for coal mine construction will be tens of thousands. "Li Zhenhua immediately said that money is not an issue and workers are not an issue, so you can rest assured. After the land is completed, we will make it larger than the scale of Kaiping. The coal here will mainly be sold and transported. At the same time, we will also need to solve the problem of building corresponding railways here. The railway should lead directly to Fengtian and Port Arthur. Several people talked together for half the night before they took a break. Li Zhenhua gave him one million taels the next day, which was squeezed out of military expenses. The technical staff asked him to recruit another 8,000 Russian prisoners and a regiment of guard troops. These people would just work for free. He immediately took him to Anshan and Benxi for inspection. In Benxi, Li Zhenhua said to Xu Shichang: "It seems that the official position you arranged for him is too small. Add these two places to him, and leave all the affairs in this area to him." " Tang Jieshu, who originally wanted to do something big here, did not expect that this young general would let him take on such an important task, which made him unable to adapt. Xu Shichang said to him: "There is no way who made our country poor now. There are also few talents of all kinds, so we have to beI've asked you to shoulder more of the burden. If you need anything, just tell me. If I can help you, I will never shirk. I will try my best to help you. If General Li and I can help you, just let go and do it. Our country needs you. " Li Zhenhua also smiled at him. At this time, Tang Jieshu had no choice but to agree. He said to Li Zhenhua and Xu Shichang: "Since you two think highly of me, I will die for us to get things done for you. " Li Zhenhua said immediately: "That's not possible. No matter what, you must ensure that your body does not tire yourself out. If so, I might as well not let you do it. After saying that, several people laughed together. Li Zhenhua asked Xu Shichang and Tang Jieshu to work on site, starting from the most basic things, including land acquisition, purchasing equipment, recruiting manpower for training, building employee dormitories, training bases, etc. A large number of The Russian prisoners of war played a big role here. They were not easy to talk to at the beginning, but those who guarded the prisoners had their own methods, which was the issue of food. Who is willing to work, who has food to eat, and who can't work? I'm sorry, that's all I can do. It¡¯s okay not to eat after a meal, but after a long time, no one can do it anymore. They have seen that this is the attitude of the Chinese towards them. No one will care if they starve to death. This is a method for ordinary people, but if you want. I'm sorry if you engage in any sabotage activities. Those who deserve to be killed will be arrested immediately. Those who deserve to be imprisoned will be imprisoned. We will definitely not let them do whatever they want. Text Chapter 372 Descendants of Tang Tingshu (2) Text Chapter 372 Descendants of Tang Tingshu (2) Chapter 372 Descendants of Tang Tingshu (2) Chapter 372 Descendants of Tang Tingshu (2) You must know that Russia still has serfdom. Many soldiers were originally slaves. Many people thought that they were slaves. The purpose of soldiers is to have enough to eat. Now the Chinese have given you this opportunity. Not only can you have enough to eat, but there is no danger here and you don¡¯t have to fight. There is also a reward system for good work. You can receive some pocket money in China. They promised that those who had done well and had no ill will towards the Chinese and were willing to sincerely help the Chinese in construction would be treated like Chinese citizens after one year. In this way, most of the Russian prisoners of war were very satisfied with the Chinese approach. Hand dot d Chinese managers often encourage some knowledgeable prisoners of war so that they can make some reasonable suggestions. Once the suggestions are adopted, they can offset their prisoner of war. Of course, they only work for a few months and become formal workers in China. That is to say, they are official citizens of China. Then they can get married and have children in China. They can choose to marry their female prisoners of war or go back to their hometown to bring their beloved girls over. They can also marry Chinese girls. Whenever someone gets married, those Chinese workers and officials will also give them a commemorative gift. There are many advantages to using this method to manage prisoners of war. You don't have to prevent them from escaping, and you don't have to worry about what damage they will cause. Because most prisoners of war want to leave a good impression in the minds of the Chinese managers, they will not allow those people to do anything. Destructive. During the inspection in the past few days, Li Zhenhua said a lot to Xu Shichang, mainly asking him to use this place as the basis to build up the entire Northeast. Now this is a vacuum zone. The officials of the Qing government cannot care about this place for the time being. They must first build up Anshan. The steel industry and Fushun's coal industry have built railways centered on Fengtian, turning this place into China's first heavy industry production base. This will be China's largest industrial base in the future. Xu Shichang knew very well that before he came here, he already knew that Li Zhenhua was going to put him here. It turned out that he was just a sesame official in Beijing and couldn't do anything. Now that Li Zhenhua has taken a liking to him, he must show off his skills here this time. Here he is The top leader of the military and political power has the final say on everything himself, and with Li Zhenhua's strong economic and technical support, he will definitely be able to achieve some results. Leaving the work to Xu Shichang and Tang Jieshu, Li Zhenhua returned to his barracks and put a lot of documents and letters on his desk. This secretary was very competent. She was already familiar with Li Zhenhua's work situation. She knew very clearly which documents came first and which came last. She put the military aspect at the top and the rest at the bottom. There were also some matters that she handled at her own discretion. A telegram from the Navy was to be read by Li Zhenhua first. This was sent by Deng Shichang. He talked about the battle with the Russian Pacific Fleet. After the submarine force won the victory over Ma, they gathered four cruisers: Sa Zhenbing's "Tianshan", Liu Hai's "Songshan", and Huang Tao. The "Huashan" and Ma Jifen's "Dongshan" were accompanied by the submarine force's "Dian No. 1", "Dian No. 2", "Dian No. 11" and "Dian No. 13" to Vladivostok to carry out the attack on the Russian Pacific Fleet. In the last blockade mission, the cruiser fleet did not participate in the battle, which made the captains of the cruisers look very ugly. They felt that their faces were shameful, and they were determined to teach the Russians a lesson this time. It would be very easy to just blockade them. It was winter at this time, and there was only one channel on the sea for the Russian army. The Russian navy had to break the ice every day to get through the channel. The Chinese navy blocked their channel and closed it. . On the day they arrived, they asked their "Dive No. 2" and "Dive No. 11" to enter their port once, but there was no gain because the Russian Pacific Fleet had suffered a heavy loss from the submarine not long ago. They were under water. Pay special attention to the situation that the channel they built is not wide. The periscope was discovered far away on the water. It would be impossible to retract the periscope. Once you get under the ice, you will not be able to observe the enemy warships. It will also be very difficult to come out again. As a result, the "Deep No. 11" was sunk by an enemy warship bombardment, and more than 20 officers and soldiers died. "Qian No. 2" hurriedly retreated, which made Deng Shichang very angry. So they retaliated against the enemy under the guidance of the airship. The concentrated firepower of the warships hit several enemy warships. The Russian warships lagged behind due to their cannons. . Our navy repaired them very well. But because they were frozen in the ice, they did not sink. They found the blind spot of the enemy's shore guns and used those huge naval guns to severely destroy most of the shore guns. It was destroyed so that they could no longer fire easily. Now we just stay in the enemy's outer sea and blockade them. They can't get out anyway. Deng Shichang¡¯s views on himselfFeeling very guilty for his blind actions, he made a deep self-examination to Li Zhenhua. Fortunately, it was not without gain this time. Although it was heartbreaking to sacrifice some soldiers, because he was inexperienced, Li Zhenhua didn't say much and just asked him to pay more attention in the future. The following telegram is from Beijing. They say that negotiations between China and Germany are ongoing. Master Weng is arguing with reason. However, the attitude of the Germans is relatively tough. They are eager to find a good port in the East. Now that they have obtained it, they will not spit it out to both sides. It's been a stalemate but we will sign a contract soon. Li Zhenhua feels that it is obviously inappropriate to fight the Germans now. The war between China and Russia has just ended and it is not possible to fight the Germans. Now Master Weng is fighting with the Germans, which is not bad. It turns out that he has never been dissatisfied with him this time. If he carries the label of traitor on his back, he will become more honest in the future and will no longer stand and talk all day without pain in his back. This negotiation has also made him more discerning. He can point fingers every day and doesn't study anything. He knows everything. But people say that he is studying seriously now. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing for adults. It will not only be embarrassing for him. Individual people will greatly lose the face of the Qing Dynasty. Text Chapter 373 Letters from the Ladies Text Chapter 373 Letters from the Madams Chapter 373 Letters from the Madams Chapter 373 Letters from the Madams I have read all the other telegrams and letters. The following are my own letters. The first is a letter from Yaqi. She said that Prince Gong Because he was seriously ill and passed away, I helped him take care of his funeral affairs, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor also arrived. The two of them were very sad about his death, because Prince Gong was not only capable, but also had good relations with the Manchu and Han officials in the court. They all handled it relatively well. He solved a lot of problems for the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the court. Now that he has passed away, it is normal for Mao Dun to ask what happened in the court. But the absence of such a capable member is detrimental to the country. Thinking of his good Queen Mother, she also praised him greatly, which made Prince Gong's affairs very grand, which also made Yaqi feel a lot more comfortable. She knew that the Queen Mother and the Emperor also gave her a great gift. face. Now Yaqi is observing filial piety for Prince Gong and telling Li Zhenhua to pay more attention to his health outside. The letter from Wang Xin said that she had arrived in Tianjin now. She and the children were doing well and asked him not to worry about her, but she was mainly worried that Li Zhenhua was on the front line. Now that the war was over, she had to be more careful to guard against villains' plots. Avna Abir, who is far away in Persia, also wrote a letter. She first told Li Zhenhua how she missed her, and then mainly talked about the reforms she had carried out in Persia: First, it was from Commander Xu Feng in the army. The work is going very smoothly. More than 20,000 Persian soldiers have arrived at the training base and are undergoing training with Xu Feng's troops. Over the past few months, the situation of the soldiers has improved greatly. It turned out that against the Russian or British troops, it would be a challenge. It was no longer possible, but now, no matter how dangerous it was, they would rush forward without hesitation. She really didn't know what method Xu Feng used to train those soldiers. Xu Feng has told her that in another year, this force will appear near the Russian and British armies. They will fight the Russian and British armies in a guerrilla warfare manner, and they will grow faster during the battle. and exercise. In terms of economy, they have relaxed some of the bans on businessmen and now they are beginning to encourage businessmen to go to China for business activities. The goods imported from China have already had good economic benefits. The businessmen have benefited, and the country has also seen the income. The land has met the needs of the market, but there are too few goods. After research with Xu Feng, they decided to build a new port in the southern region. Chinese engineering and technical personnel will soon arrive. With their help, we will build a new port of our own. To throw the British aside, the British will have to restrain themselves if they have their own troops. She said that the current physical and economic situation in Persia is not good and the finances are very tight. They have greatly reduced the palace's expenses, but this is not enough. She raised the issue of borrowing money from Li Zhenhua and asked him to find a way to help solve it. She knew that there would be no loan at any time. Money is not enough. In addition, she happily told Li Zhenhua that she was pregnant with the child and she would become a mother in a few months. She was very happy, but her father was a little unhappy. He felt that he did not choose a separate husband for his daughter and let his daughter become When he got Li Zhenhua's concubine, he felt that he didn't give his daughter a grand wedding. He felt sorry for his daughter. But when he saw that his daughter was happy and didn't complain about anything, he felt even more uncomfortable. But seeing his daughter, he could put a lot of things into his heart. He was very relieved that everything had been stirred up, so he let go of everything and let his daughter do it. After all, it was Li Zhenhua who was supporting her. No one in this world dared not to give Li Zhenhua face. Another problem is that after discussion, the father and brother decided to let her shoulder the burden of this country. The brother really felt that he was not strong enough to shoulder the burden of this country. The father felt that her physical condition was not good. She asked Li Zhenhua When asking for advice, she must listen to her husband's opinion and only his opinion is the only condition for her decision. The letters from the two ladies are easy to read, but Li Zhenhua had to think carefully about Avna Abir's letter. This is related to China's century-old plan in energy. You must know that in that area, there are concentrated in the world. Most of the oil. It¡¯s not a bad thing that Avna Abir can be in charge. She also has this ability. Li Zhenhua has never thought about men being in charge and women running the house. You know that in the future, there will be many women in power in the world, and even now there is the Queen of England. Isn't Sansabeth the queen? But she is just a decoration and Avna Abir's rule has no meaning. But if this is really the case, Li Zhenhua will become the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl with her. From now on, it will be impossible for him and her to stay together forever. This is a bit too cruel for a woman. She can stay together with several other ladies, but Afu Na Abir cannot do that. But this is how political marriages can really have a good ending, but not all of them have become political sacrifices.But she and I really love each other, so I feel sorry for her. The best way is to let her Persia become a part of China in the future. Only by sending strong personnel to manage it can she be liberated. Otherwise, it would be very sorry for her. Since this matter was related to the interests of the country, Li Zhenhua did not hesitate. He immediately invited Feng Guozhang and Xu Shichang to help advise him on how to write this reply to his third wife. Feng Guozhang and Xu Shichang are both capable people, but they are hard-pressed to talk about this issue. It seems that this is Li Zhenhua's family matter, but it is really a national matter. They did not hesitate to make suggestions to Li Zhenhua immediately and tried every means to bring Persia under control. This is the most important principle to take it into your own hands, and then solve the immediate problem first. There are already people there on the military side. Facts have proved that Hua Feng is indeed a competent officer. Then it is necessary to send out a political and political staff group to help the third lady govern the country and let the Chinese dragon flag rise in Persia at the right time. Of course, the governance there is mainly based on economics. The main principle is China's path of "rich country and strong military". Without this path, there is no other way to talk about it. But who should be allowed to pass? This is also a problem and cannot be allowed to pass. Li Zhenhua should go there himself. The situation in Beijing is very unstable right now. It's not certain what will happen in Beijing. Text Chapter 374 Who to let go to Persia Text Chapter 374: Who to go to Persia Chapter 374: Who to go to Persia Chapter 374: Who to go to Persia The person who can go to Persia to take charge of the overall situation now is Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, and Sheng Xuanhuai is another person It's hard to say that there are more people in the military, but there are really not many people who are really capable in politics, economy, and military. Didn't Wei Xiaohu just keep asking for people? In the end, he didn't get them. Send someone out. d Li Zhenhua thought carefully about the presidential-level figures under his command, but they are all here. However, there is still one person who is a master of economics. That is Wang Xin. Now he has placed all these people here. Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang and The three of them, Li Zhenhua, really couldn't decide who should be allowed to pass. The names of several people were written on the paper and then crossed out one by one. Feng Guozhang, as Li Zhenhua's right-hand man in military matters, could not be touched. Xu Shichang had the heavy responsibility of building the Northeast base and could not be touched. Sheng Xuanhuai could not be touched at this time. The country's economic work must be managed by him, and we must not lose the watermelon by picking up the sesame seeds. Wang Xin can't go either because she's not capable. Her ability is definitely at the top in terms of economic management. But Li Zhenhua's three wives ended up with two of them. What should I do? Besides, it's also disconcerting that a big country actually sent a woman here. Looks good, right? If these people are not good enough, then think again. People have proposed another person, that is Wang Shizhen. But now that the logistics work of the entire army is in his hands, no one else can take over for him. As a result, people go back and study one by one. In the end, there is no result. . Finally, Li Zhenhua said: "If there is really no suitable person, we have to let Wang Xin go so that she can escape. It doesn't matter if others don't think she is suitable. After all, isn't there still family factors involved?" Feng Guozhang said : "If that doesn't work, let Zhang Zuolin go, and then pair him with someone who specializes in economics, wouldn't it?" "No, Lao Zhang is a good man in the military, but it's not appropriate to let him go to Persia." Li Zhenhua said. Xu Shichang said: "How about choosing someone in Shanxi's ticket industry first." "The most suitable person should be Qiao Zhiyong." Li Zhenhua added. "No, he is mainly in the ticket industry and tea, but he is not good at other things." Feng Guozhang objected to this proposal. "Okay, let's not argue about this issue. Let's let Wang Xin go and let her go. We can rest assured." Feng Guozhang and Xu Shichang thought about it and felt that Wang Xin was also the best candidate from any angle, so they agreed with Li Zhenhua. Wang Xin's opinion asked Wang Xin to go to Persia as soon as possible, but one thing was to let Persia enter China's territory as soon as possible. From the way Li Zhenhua stared at the globe for a long time, Feng Guozhang and Xu Shichang knew that this young leader wanted to continue to expand his territory. A few days later, Wang Xin came over from Tianjin. Li Zhenhua did not let anyone else talk to Wang Xin about this issue. He told Wang Xin what he was thinking. After Wang Xin listened to Li Zhenhua's words, she knew that her man was a man with a great ambition. She could only be his helper to help him achieve his final ideas. Wang Xin did not hesitate and said to Li Zhenhua: "Since you asked me to go, when will I set off?" After hearing Wang Xin's words, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Wang Xin has been actively following her and becoming herself since she started. When his most capable assistant heard that she was leaving, he felt really uncomfortable. He didn't know how many years it would take for him to leave. Seeing that Li Zhenhua just lowered his head in deep thought and did not answer his questions, Wang Xin knew that he was reluctant to leave him, but for the sake of her husband's career, she must carry out this great strategic move of her husband without hesitation. She had married him since the beginning. She knew that she might have to endure a lot of hardships, but she never thought that she would be separated from Li Zhenhua. Although they didn't spend much time together, they were still in the same country. If they had time, they could still make a phone call to say hello, but now they are separated. Then I don't know how long it will take. Li Zhenhua finally spoke: "Axin, I'm sorry to have to make you a hard trip, but I promise that we will meet in two years at most. I will go to Persia to see you after I understand the domestic affairs. Two children, you You can take them or leave them, but no matter where they are, you can't relax on the education of your children." Wang Xin snuggled into Li Zhenhua's arms and said, "I'll take the little one with you and leave the big one with Yaqi. Let Yaqi worry more about it together. Grandpa is in good health now. Let him be in Shanghai with Sheng Xuanhuai. If you can do something, do whatever you can't. Just let him rest. The child will follow you. I'm not worried, but I'm most concerned about it. What I¡¯m worried about is that you won¡¯t care about anything as soon as you start working. I¡¯ll be relieved if you care about Zhan Tianyou and yourself.¡±bsp; "Don't worry. I will take care of myself in the future and promise not to worry you anymore. Do you have any other requirements? Do you need to bring anything else and let the people below prepare it in advance." "I don't need anything else. I want another hospital. First, when the time comes, Avna Abiel can use it and expand our influence there. " "Then the influence of a school will also be great. " "Okay, then I will. Let me tell you one more thing. You should also take that Secretary Jin into your room. It will be convenient for her to take care of you in the future. Besides, I have been with you for several years. It is not good for you to take it seriously. It is not good to just leave it like this. Look at that Zhili. How old is the inspector? He is already the tenth wife. Don¡¯t let yourself be wronged if you still have three wives who can¡¯t see each other. " "Axin, to be honest, I just accepted Avna? I feel very sorry for you two. I want someone else. No, just stop talking. I won¡¯t agree.¡± You're just talking nonsense about when I'm going to be the emperor. Don't take it for granted." "Okay, let's not talk about this. Have you thought about the goods?" "You don't think about those things more than I do. It¡¯s all up to you.¡± The couple kept talking for most of the night before resting, but they didn¡¯t get a good rest that night. They were thinking about going to Persia. The next morning, both of them had blue eyes. Although Feng Guozhang He and Xu Shichang didn't have a good rest, but they still thought that Li Zhenhua and his wife were newlyweds, so it was better to stay apart for a long time. Text Chapter 375 Sino-German Lease Treaty of Jiao'ao Text Chapter 375 Sino-German Lend Treaty of Jiao'ao Chapter 375 Sino-German Lend Treaty of Jiao'ao Chapter 375 Sino-German Lend Treaty of Jiao'ao On the third day, Wang Xin set out. She was going to take the sea route from Shanghai to Persia. The goods she needed to handle had been telegraphed in advance. After notifying Sheng Xuanhuai in Shanghai, Sheng Xuanhuai immediately responded with a telegram asking them to reconsider the choice of candidates to go to Persia. Why couldn't they send someone else to go? Why should Wang Xin be sent? Feng Guozhang had no choice but to explain to him on the phone for a long time. Ten days later, a cargo fleet set off from Shanghai. Wang Xin embarked on the long journey to Persia. Li Zhenhua did not go to Shanghai to see her off. He just called Wang Xin before departure and asked her to pay attention to all aspects and talk to her again. He made a promise to visit them within two years, but the development of things later prevented him from going. However, the two ladies returned to China to see him. At this time, the Beijing Intelligence Office gave Li Zhenhua a copy of the Sino-German negotiations and asked Li Zhenhua to look at it. If there was any special reminder, Master Weng could not be allowed to sign the contract casually. The copy looked like this: On behalf of the Qing government, Weng Tonghe and the German Minister to China Hai Hai Jing negotiated the "Jiao'ao Concession Treaty" between China and Germany. The treaty includes 10 articles including the Jiao'ao Concession, Railway Mining and Shandong Provincial Services. The main contents are: Jiaozhou Bay and the islands in the bay are leased to Germany for a period of 99 years. During the lease period, Jiaozhou Bay was under the jurisdiction of Germany. Germany could formulate regulations to restrict ships from other countries (including China). (2) The area within 100 miles of the coast of Jiaozhou Bay is designated as a neutral area. German officers and soldiers have the right to freely pass through the area. The Qing government must first consult with Germany to station barracks and prepare military tactics in this area. If Germany needs to rectify its waterways, China cannot stop it. (3) China allows Germany to build two railways in Shandong, one from Jiaoao to Jinan via Wei County, Qingzhou, Boshan, Zichuan and Zouping, and one from Jiaoao to Yizhou via Laiwu County to Jinan. Germany also has the right to mine minerals within 30 miles of the railway line. (4) If any project in Shandong Province requires the use of foreign personnel, capital, and equipment, it should first be negotiated with Germany. By signing the Sino-German "Jiao-ao Concession Treaty", Shandong province became Germany's sphere of influence. But Germany is not satisfied with this. It wants to continue to expand its power based on Shandong until it takes the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River as its sphere of influence. The Sino-German "Jiao-ao Concession Treaty" was the first unequal treaty during the Partition period in which a foreign country used force to seize Chinese ports and seize leased land. Germany used the name of lease to force the troops stationed at the seaport to implement red colonial rule, which set a bad precedent for other powers, which made other powers want to use the same method against China. After the first lunar month, the snow in the Northeast also began to melt. Li Zhenhua started his large-scale economic construction. In the past, when he was building Fangcheng, he wanted to keep the emperor high and far away so that others could not control him. But now his sphere of influence is gradually expanding, and the Qing government is There is nothing I can do about it. The mineral resources here in the Northeast are very rich now, which is conducive to my large-scale construction, so I will not leave here. He knew that the new China established its first heavy industry base on this land in the Northeast. The coal, steel, oil, grain and other resources here were quite abundant. Later, with the addition of railways and ports, the transportation was also Why don't you make good use of this convenience? The southeast coast is a very developed place, but you have to be on guard against the gazes of the powers from all over the world. If foreign powers bring their warships to Shanghai and fire a few cannons at Shanghai, the losses will be huge. Even if you have troops there, let alone no troops, you will be unable to defend yourself. But here it is much better. If you defend Port Arthur, you will be fine at sea. To the north We have already had countermeasures to deal with the Russian army and are not afraid of them at all. Therefore, the Northeast must be well constructed. The biggest problem here now is that there are too few people, so more people from Shandong, Hebei, and Henan must migrate here. They were asked to bring their families with them. At the same time, the little girls exported from Japan were also taken in and given to the Russian soldiers. When he thought about this, he laughed to himself. Isn't this a bit too inhumane? If you think about it carefully, there is nothing inhumane about survival and reproduction. This is If the basic laws of biology do not violate these two principles, then it cannot be said to be humane or inhumane. There are a lot of people used for construction now. First, there are more than 20,000 Qing troops who participated in the war. Second, there are tens of thousands of Russian prisoners of war. These people should be used to build the railway first. The railways that are urgently needed to be built are from Guannai to Fengtian, second from Fengtian to Lushun Port via Anshan, and then from Fushun Coal Mine to Fengtian. It turns out that several generals in the Northeast are not completely uninterested in railway construction, but their actions are not big. They have basically completed the survey of the direction of the railway and have already completed part of the earthworks. Now they need to continue these projects. Those Qing troops were also happy to participate in railway construction, and while working, they were paid some silver as subsidies. At the same time, they didn't have to go to war, so why not do it. In addition, they were given work clothes, which they felt were much better than wearing those long robes. Their enthusiasm was very high.We are determined to complete the roadbed project from Shanhaiguan to Fengtian in March and then move on to the construction of the railway from Fengtian to Lushun Port. On this day, another telegram came from the Intelligence Office in Beijing. They said that Master Weng had signed a contract with the Germans. They gave Li Zhenhua the text of the "Sino-German Jiao'ao Lease Treaty". The original text of the treaty is as follows: March 6, 18, February 14, Guangxu 24, Beijing. Shandong Caozhou Prefecture has reached an agreement on the friendship between China and Germany in the past. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty and the Great Germany are willing to deepen the friendship between the two countries and strengthen the commercial and civilian trade between the two countries. Therefore, they have agreed upon a special agreement in good faith. The articles are listed on the left: (originally China's vertical writing was written from right to left) The first end of the Jiao'ao Concession The first section of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Y will maintain diplomatic relations between China and Germany and increase their military power to allow the sea to level off from Jiao'ao Any time the quasi-German officers and soldiers within a hundred miles (within China's territory) make any adjustments, the right of autonomy shall still belong to China. If there are orders and regulations from China, they should be agreed with Germany in advance. If Germany needs to rectify waterways, etc., China cannot stop it. The preparations for the deployment of military camps there will still be handled by China through consultation with Germany first. Chapter 2: The Great German Emperor wishes that his country, like other countries, has land on the coast of China to build buildings, arrange ships, store materials, and order supplies. Therefore, it is very suitable. The Great Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has agreed to open the mouth of Jiao'ao from the north to the south. The two-sided lease with Germany was initially limited to ninety-nine years. Germany should build forts and other things on the leased land to protect the land and protect the entrance to Macao. Paragraph 3: The land leased by Germany shall not be administered by China until the lease term has expired, and shall be under the jurisdiction of Germany to avoid disputes between the two countries. The various sections of land rented are listed below: 1. All the islands with dry land to the north of the mouth of Jiao'ao, and the northeastern part is limited to a line from the northeast corner of Yin Island to Laoshan Bay 2. All the dry land to the south of the mouth of Jiao'ao The southwest of the island is limited to a line starting from the southwest of the bay south-southwest of Qibo Mountain Island to Diluoshan Island. 3. Qibo Mountain and Yin Island. 4. The entire sea surface within Jiaoao to the current flat land. 5. Jiaoao. The islands previously used to protect the sea surface include Diluoshan, Zhalian and other islands. In the future, the two countries will send personnel to inspect the land and determine the details of the boundary site of the German leased land and Jiao'ao. Germany intends to give preferential treatment to all Chinese military and merchant ships in Jiao'ao when they cross paths with Germany. Since the inner waters of Jiao'ao are all under German jurisdiction, the German country can formulate regulations at any time to restrict the ships of other countries. This regulation also applies to Chinese ships. Everything should be done as a whole without any hindrance. Paragraph 4: Floating piles should be set up on the islands and dangerous shoals outside Jiao'ao. Ships from all countries should pay fees. Chinese ships should also pay fees for the purpose of repairing port projects. Other fees are not payable by Chinese ships. Paragraph 5: If Germany subsequently voluntarily returns Jiao Ao to China before the lease term expires, China shall compensate Germany for all expenses incurred in Jiao Ao and transfer a more favorable location to Germany. The land Germany leased to China promised never to sublease it to other countries. If the Chinese people in the leased land can live peacefully and do not break the law, they can still live freely in Germany. Germany should protect them as a whole. If Germany needs the land, it should pay landowners a land price. In addition, China's original tax card was established outside the German leased land but within one hundred miles of the agreed area. Germany plans to separately negotiate the tax boundaries and tax regulations with China in a way that will not harm China. Second-term railway, mining and other matters Paragraph 1: China allows Germany to build two railways in Shandong: one runs from Jiaoao through Weixian, Qingzhou, Boshan, Zichuan and Zouping to Jinan and Shandong. 2. From Jiaoao to Yizhou and from here via Laiwu County to Jinan Prefecture. The road from Jinan Prefecture to the Shandong border can only be built after the railway is built to Jinan Prefecture so that it can be connected with China's self-managed trunk road. The places where the railway passes in this section should be specified in separate detailed regulations. Paragraph 2 stipulates that each of the above railways shall establish a German businessman or a Chinese businessman company, or establish one or several German businessmen or Chinese businessmen, respectively, to collect shares and send appropriate personnel to handle the matter. Paragraph 3: All Measures: The two countries will quickly sign another contract. China and Germany will decide this matter on their own. However, the German and Chinese companies established to build and operate the above railways should be treated more favorably by the Chinese state than Huayang Commercial Companies elsewhere in China. The benefits gained will not be in vain. Check that this subsidy is specifically for the management of business and has no other intention. The construction of the above railways will not occupy Shandong land. Paragraph 4: German merchants are allowed to excavate coal, etc., within three miles of the nearby railway lines, such as Jiaoyi North Road in Wei County and Boshan County, Jiaoyi Jinan Road in Yizhou Prefecture, Laiwu County, etc. The project and the required projects can also be jointly exploited by German businessmen and Chinese businessmen, and the mining charter should also be negotiated separately. German businessmen and engineers, as mentioned in the section on railway construction, should also be treated more favorably by the Chinese state than those obtained by the Huayang Commercial Company elsewhere in China. This section is only for business purposes and has no other purpose. The third chapter is the Law on Services in Shandong Province. If there is any business in Shandong Province that requires soliciting help from foreign countries, or using foreigners, foreign capital, or foreign materials, China must first ask the German businessman whether he is willing to undertake it. Project salesthings. If the German businessman is unwilling to undertake the project and sell the materials, China can do it at his own discretion and do it elsewhere to be fair. The above articles were approved by the emperors of the two countries and the Chinese ratification agreement was sent to Berlin, Germany. After the German ratification agreement was handed over to the Chinese minister in Germany, it was collected as evidence of exchange. This treaty should be made in four copies, two in Chinese and two in German, and the ministers of the two countries should stamp and seal it, each holding one in Chinese and one in German, to show their commitment. February 14, the twenty-fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. March 6, the year of Dade, 1898. The prime minister, minister of foreign affairs, minister of military aircraft, and co-organizer of the university, Shangshu Weng of the Household Department, and Dade imperial envoy stationed in China to do things for convenience. Looking at such a traitorous treaty, Li Zhenhua snorted. Is this the result of Master Weng¡¯s hard work? According to this treaty, the Jiao'ao area (Qingdao) was given to the Germans. Later, the Germans invested more than 50 million marks here and they have completely regarded it as their own land for construction. A subsequent telegram from the Intelligence Office in Beijing said that when the people of the country knew the contents of the treaty, everyone, whether they were Westernizers or conservatives, were scolding Weng Tong and the so-called "Qing faction" who were traitors to the country. The capital used to regard Weng Tonghe as the leader of the Northern Faction, but now they are all ashamed of him. They burned all the calligraphy, paintings, couplets, etc. that Weng Tonghe had written for them. Some people even ran to Weng Tonghe's house and attacked him in his yard. Throwing stones, blocking his mouth and yelling at Weng Tonghe. Li Zhenhua felt that people did not need to be brave enough to do this. Weng Tonghe did not dare to sign such a treaty. It must have the approval of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Without the consent of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, he would not be able to sign it at all. Although this incident was intended to teach Weng Tonghe a lesson, Li Zhenhua did not expect that the lesson would be so great. Feng Guozhang and Xu Shichang also had the same view. This time, Weng Tonghe took the blame for the Queen Mother and the Emperor. This time, Weng Tonghe took away the patent of Li Hongzhang's "blame" professional. However, the common people's concept of right and wrong is very clear. I hate Weng Tonghe, but I respect and love my ordinary people. In recent years, due to Li Zhenhua's actions on promoting industry and education, many people have a new understanding of political reality. This can be regarded as "opening up people's wisdom". People have criticized the country's policies in newspapers. Some young and promising people have criticized the country's policies in newspapers. Zi and officials also joined in. Xu Shichang said to Li Zhenhua: "The remarks of these people will touch the root of the Qing government's ills. Otherwise, something will happen." Li Zhenhua saw that there were more calls for "reform reforms" in the newspapers. He said: "This He will be killed soon in the court, but he needs to be able to do a great job." Suddenly, a great man's words came out that would be known to people in later generations. Text Chapter 376 Beijing-Fengcheng Line Opened to Traffic Text Chapter 376 The Beijing-Fengcheng Line is opened to traffic Chapter 376 The Beijing-Fengcheng Line is opened to traffic Chapter 376 The Beijing-Fengcheng Line is opened to traffic "But there is one thing," Feng Guozhang said: "No matter what they do, as long as our army is not enough, we will not care about them." " For us, we must first ensure that our army is not strong, and then we must seize the time to carry out our railway construction as quickly as possible. Lao Feng, you transferred the 1st Infantry Division in Harbin back to prevent accidents. In the name of letting them participate in the construction of the railway, we are just right. We need them to come over. " "In addition, let the North Korean First Division and Second Division also be prepared. Now we have to pay close attention to the movements in Beijing. In addition, we promised to give North Korean King Li Xi some sweetness. Please go and arrange it." In addition, Li Zhenhua ordered. The intelligence office in Beijing paid close attention to the actions of Kang Youwei, the leader of the reform movement, and reported all his remarks and actions. Xu Shichang and Feng Guozhang knew that Li Zhenhua was going to make a new move. They immediately took action and started active work. Li Zhenhua asked Xu Shichang to write a note to the court. First, he requested that Xu Shichang be appointed as the governor of the three northeastern provinces to be responsible for all military and civil affairs in the northeast. The second task is to step up and urge the court to use money. Everything here must be done with money. Since they have already promised to give it, they can't let them delay it any longer. The reply to Li Zhenhua's brochure was very quick and he immediately issued an order to Xu Shichang to make him the governor of the three northeastern provinces. At the same time, he also gave him the more than one million taels of silver he owed. d The laying work of railway tracks has begun. The railway builders started from Shanhaiguan and advanced all the way north. Due to the tight construction deadline here, even Zhan Tianyou from the Railway Construction Corporation came over. Li Zhenhua knew that this was a desperate effort, and Sanlang immediately informed him that he could only work on solving technical problems in an all-round way and was not allowed to go to the construction site in person. Zhan Tianyou knew that the disciples he had personally trained were fine now, so he went to the steel plants in Anshan and Benxi to see if they could produce qualified steel for rail tracks. After arriving at the steel plants, he personally checked them after a period of time. The test soon produced the rails. Zhan Tianyou immediately reported the good news to Li Zhenhua. This was a big deal. Otherwise, the original rails were all produced in the south. How much trouble would have been saved now. Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang and Xu Shichang went to Anshan in person and met Zhan Tianyou and Tang Jieshu. Li Zhenhua held their hands and said, "Thank you, you have solved a big problem for us. This can save us a lot of money." That¡¯s it. The money saved in freight alone is more than a million taels. The most important thing is that you saved a lot of time.¡± Zhan Tianyou immediately decided to lay the rails from Anshan to Fengtian and then to the south. Connect the railway built from Shanhaiguan. At the same time, it was discussed with Tang Jieshu that the locomotives and carriages produced in Shanghai should also be produced here. Have them provide technicians and drawings right away. The railway construction work in the Northeast has suddenly entered the high-speed rail track provided by the local steel plant. The Northeast itself has a large number of forest resources, and the sleeper problem has been solved. These are essential material conditions. But the main problem is that a large number of farmers from Guanli have come from Guanli. They bring their families and they form a family. Just look at a strong man pushing a wheelbarrow. There are old people and children or women and his daughter-in-law on it. I followed behind with my little feet. As soon as they entered the customs, someone immediately managed and helped them. When they saw them coming, they immediately registered them. The first thing is to find out how many people there are in the labor force. Are there women, children, and the elderly? Are there any infirm people? First distribute them to various places, let the companies give them some money to settle down, and then organize them to go to the places where they are most needed. Those simple working people have lost their lives. If you have a job opportunity in your own land, they will thank you from the bottom of their hearts. As soon as they arrived at the construction site, they had to work immediately. However, the managers did not let them go to the construction site first. Instead, they arranged accommodation for them and found a suitable place for their children to study. The elderly also had to make arrangements for the hard-working women. They arranged some jobs for the workers to make work clothes by hand or go to the kitchens to cook for the men. At the same time, those workers also received their own suitable work clothes. In this way, people¡¯s enthusiasm is extremely high, and workers who have no worries contribute all they have. They can immediately do some manual labor such as moving stones, soil, ramming, moving rails, etc. They can then do some more technical work by letting the original people do it. In this way, the speed has increased by more than several times. Looking at the construction site from a distance, it is A long line of people completed the construction of the railway from Shanhaiguan to Fengtian in just over two months. Then there is the construction of the railway stations and some supporting projects along the line. Xu Shichang and Feng Guozhang said to Li Zhenhua: "This speed has never been seen in the world. This is the speed of us Chinese and the funds.The problem is that we save more than half of it than they do. " Li Zhenhua said: "This is all the result of Zhan Tianyou. " Zhan Tianyou immediately objected and said: "Isn't it true that I, a scholar, was not a useless person before I met General Li? You gave me such an opportunity to show off my skills. Besides, it was not possible for everyone to go all out to succeed. ? And those workers on the front lines. " Feng Guozhang immediately went on to say: "We would also like to thank the Russian prisoners of war who have made great contributions to our construction. " Xu Shichang also said: "Yes, these high-minded people are really powerful when they work. "A few people laughed together. "We need to organize them well. After the construction is completed, a large number of people will be needed on the railway for operation. We must arrange these people into the operation of the trains as much as possible to complete the work of the whole province of Liaoning. From now on, we will immediately head north to Harbin. " Li Zhenhua knows that there are two very interesting cities in China. One is Shijiazhuang and the other is Harbin. They are both called "cities pulled by trains." Shijiazhuang is now expanding, and Harbin below will definitely develop. The entire Beijing-Fengcheng Line A small-scale opening ceremony was held in Fengtian. A train of steel departed from here and went directly to Tianjin. Li Zhenhua only informed some relevant personnel and did not hold any big events. However, everyone who came felt the great creativity of the Chinese people. This was only a short time. In a few months, a railway was successfully constructed (of course, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done). Text Chapter 377 Construction of Northeast Heavy Industry Base Text Chapter 377: Building the Northeast Heavy Industry Base Chapter 377: Building the Northeast Heavy Industry Base Chapter 377: Building the Northeast Heavy Industry Base Everyone who participated in the meeting felt that China needs to carry out economic construction well, although its military has made great progress. The armies of various countries are no longer a problem, but if we want to maintain a strong army and make the people rich, we must not let those great powers look down on us on the economic level. After the meeting, Li Zhenhua left some relevant personnel to discuss with them how to carry out economic construction in the three northeastern provinces. Now the train can go directly from Fengtian to Beijing. If something happens in Beijing, you can get to Beijing in one day. As for the reform movement in full swing in Beijing, we will ignore them for now. If something happens, we can rush to Beijing in one day. Now we must use the favorable opportunity after our victory over the Russian army to carry out construction with great fanfare. Russia is attacking us. They will not be able to continue attacking us for at least five years. We must make full use of these five years to make a big improvement in military equipment and move the economy to a new level. All the domestic economic people came here. A huge map of Liaoning Province was hung on the wall. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "From now on, this will be our new place. There are many rich resources here. Since it is a new area, it must be helped by our old area." Now let¡¯s ask Xu Shichang, the governor of the three northeastern provinces, to give us a detailed explanation of the construction.¡± , oil, land, ocean and other natural resources, we can carry out food production, marine fishing, steel production, coal production and petrochemical production, develop shipbuilding industry, etc. This requires our old areas to use all their capabilities to help Our new district will be the center of science and technology, culture, and industry in China and the world in the future. Of course, this also includes our military industrial enterprises. Now we have too few people here, which requires us to immigrate here in large numbers from Shandong, Henan, and Zhili. Speaking of immigration, this is a big project. Now we in the Northeast are ready. How many people in the customs will come, how many more do we need? We also have as many machines and equipment as we need from various places to support us. Now we have an idea of ??counterpart support construction. Let me tell you in detail. First, we need to build a large-scale thermal power plant in Fushun, which requires necessary support from the power systems of Fangcheng and Shanghai. Fangcheng and Shanghai support in Anshan, Benxi is building two large-scale steel companies. It is building a large-scale heavy machinery factory in Anshan. It is building a car factory, a tractor factory and a bicycle factory. It is building a large-scale shipyard in Lushun. A shipping company focusing on ocean and inland water transportation is also connecting the mainland. Railway and highway cargo transportation. A new science and technology university will be built in Fengtian to be responsible for all military and civilian science and technology research in the future. One university, three middle schools, a new medical school and two affiliated hospitals. Various related civilian factories and commercial outlets. Large commercial centers, flour mills, domestic officials, businessmen and others are encouraged. As well as foreign commercial institutions and individuals come here to invest in construction. Dongying and Karamay are responsible for the construction of a new oil field in Panxian and Dawa counties in central Liaocheng. Due to financial and technical issues, we have to push back this project. This is our next plan This economic work meeting is in progress. After three days of the meeting, newspapers from all over the country widely publicized the meeting. The recruitment advertisements were published in the newspapers for a week. Even foreign newspapers also carried relevant reports. Now the whole world knew that Li Zhenhua was there again. We need to engage in economic construction in a big way. Countries have openly and secretly sent scholars and spies to Northeast China, and some large enterprises and companies have also sent delegations to Northeast China. They want to really see whether investing here is really beneficial. Some foreign companies have also sent their own inspection teams here. They are also optimistic about the environment here and want to invest and build here. Li Zhenhua and others were engaged in large-scale production and construction in the Northeast region, but the fact that the squadron gave the Russian team a hard lesson on land caused great shock to all the military powers in the world. It was no less than a magnitude 7 earthquake. Countries are conducting their own research on the war between China and Russia. First of all, the Germans have the upper hand in this battle with China, but they themselves also know that if the Chinese do not deal with the Russians but fight with It¡¯s really hard to say what the result will be if you do it yourself. It¡¯s very likely that you¡¯re from ¡°??Therefore, the German government immediately issued instructions to the German Minister to China Haijing and Jiaoao Governor Dietrich to ask them to take the initiative to be friendly to China, especially China's local officials, so as to provide the Chinese with Advanced technology is a bait to cooperate with them at a high-tech level. They are engaged in economic construction and they need a lot of things. Germany needs to provide them with more advanced technology to gain the understanding of the Chinese without taking action against them to recapture the Jiao'ao area. In order to obtain South Africa's gold and diamonds, they are making preparations to start in South Africa soon. The long Boer War will take up a lot of their energy. They will not take the initiative to provoke the Chinese for the time being. Besides, they also want to use the Chinese. The purpose of containing the Russians has been achieved, but they are secretly happy. Only the French and Russia have always been good friends. They gave Russia a large amount of loans to support the Russians, but Russia still defeated its current allies. After being defeated and unable to fight the Chinese, they were very annoyed, but there was nothing they could do about it. The Americans across the Pacific were not in the mood to tell the Chinese how they were busy dealing with their own families. Their eyes are fixed on the Spanish colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico, and they are about to start. The American-Spanish War launched by the United States this year to seize the Spanish territories of Cuba and Puerto Rico was the first imperialist attempt by the great powers to redivide the colonies. war between. Cuba has important economic value and is a strategic base for the United States to focus on expanding to South America. The emerging United States has strong economic and military potential and has long been prepared for war. Text Chapter 378 Russian Negotiator Text Chapter 378 Russian Negotiator Chapter 378 Russian Negotiator Chapter 378 Russian Negotiator The United States has established a powerful fleet known as the third largest in the world and deployed it at various strategic points in the world. Among them, the Asian fleet stationed in Hong Kong has already Ready to go. Congress has now recruited 200,000 troops and has advanced equipment such as rapid field artillery, telegraphs, and telephones. On the contrary, Spain is unprepared. Of the more than 200,000 Spanish troops in Cuba, only more than 10,000 are capable of fighting. Most of the rest are old, weak, sick, and disabled. The Navy only has a few old wooden-hulled warships. Moreover, the Spanish political situation is in a state of chaos. People in the military and political circles generally believe that there is no hope of winning in a war with the United States. Spain has long since declined and fallen into an isolated position internationally. In particular, the armed struggle of the Cuban people against Spanish colonial rule restrained a large number of Spanish troops. The Spanish army's brutal suppression of the Cuban rebels angered the American people and endangered the economic interests of American capitalists there. On February 15, 1898, the USS Maine, a warship sent by the United States to Cuba to protect overseas Chinese, exploded in Havana Harbor. The Americans would not use it as an excuse. Then the United States used the incident as an excuse to take military action against Spain on April 22. action. It turns out that the Americans wanted to attack the Philippines first, but now that the Philippines is in their own hands, they have no choice but to attack at home. The Russians were not idle either. They were very puzzled by the actions of the Chinese. The original Qing army was not good at all. But once they had Li Zhenhua, they had no chance of victory at all. First on the Western Front and then on the Far East. As long as they touched When they got there, Li Zhenhua and the others were bound to suffer defeat. Moreover, he actually annihilated all of his hundreds of thousands of soldiers in just three battles with the Russian army with an army of 70,000, which gave them a huge headache. They have always coveted China's territory. They thought that this time they could use the Germans' actions there to defeat the Chinese and occupy more of their land. But they did not expect that they would not pay attention to the Germans at all. He attacked them directly, and as a result he suffered a huge loss. Facing the powerful Li Zhenhua at the Tsar¡¯s imperial meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Lobanov proposed to use secret hands to assassinate Li Zhenhua by using spies. As long as there is no Li Zhenhua, Russia will still have hope of turning around. But Russia¡¯s shrewdest politician at the time, Finance Minister Witte, strongly opposed this approach. He believed that this approach was nothing more than continuing to anger the Chinese. You must know that the Chinese still have a large number of prisoners of war in their hands. Now we have been defeated and are about to negotiate with the Chinese. If the assassination operation succeeds at this time, okay. If not, wouldn't it give the Chinese an excuse in vain? Then we will be completely passive at the negotiation table and they will open their mouths to us lions. Seeing Werther's arguments, the Tsar had no choice but to agree with Werther and put aside his revenge temporarily. However, he never gave up and would definitely attack him if there was a chance in the future. Werther believed that the reason why we failed in the war against China was It is because our logistics support work is not good. If our logistics work could keep up with us, we would not be like this. In order for our powerful Russian army to enter China smoothly in the future, we must build the Far East Railway once our Far East Railway is completed. Then our military strength will be expanded several times, and the Chinese will not be able to do it. Therefore, we should make material preparations first. We should first build the Far East Railway and then transport troops and military supplies to the Far East. Without this railway, we would not be able to wage war against the Chinese. Just transporting troops and combat supplies would take a lot of time. , energy and energy. People at the top level of Russia felt that Witte's idea was reasonable. Some military ministers also agreed with Witte's statement and decided to negotiate with the Chinese first and then do everything possible to quickly build the Siberian Railway. We must avenge this failure. So Russia¡¯s Foreign Minister Lobanov and Finance Minister Witte set out from St. Petersburg to China for negotiations. This is a long road, so let them walk slowly on the road first. Let's return to Fengtian first. The ice outside Vladivostok has melted, but it has also brought difficulties to the blockade of Vladivostok. It has also increased opportunities. The wide passage has made it easier for the Russian army to pass, but it has also been easier for our submarines to enter their interior. For several days, airships have been attacking them in the air. Conduct continuous monitoring. The Russian army has been operating here in Vladivostok for many years. They have made this their permanent base. It can be seen from the fact that the Russian government officially renamed Vladivostok "Vladivostok", which means "Control the East", so they built here. The largest military port in the Pacific is located near the sea. The Russians have built a large number of coastal fortifications and various long-range artillery positions all over the mountains. In the winter, the navy used the blind spots of the shore artillery to bombard them, causing damage to their shore defenses.The huge damage is caused by the fact that there is no way to rebuild it right under the nose of the Chinese Navy. As long as there is a man on the airship, it will immediately notify the warship by telegram or semaphore, and the cannon on the warship will fire on the shore. Now their coastal defense artillery is almost a decoration for deaf ears. The formal battle of the navy failed to take place, which made the cruise captains very unhappy. The Russian army has accumulated a large amount of military supplies here. According to them, it can be used for five years. This shows how much Russia attaches importance to this Vladivostok, but for China There was nothing they could do if people were standing in front of the mn. They also had to be prepared at all times for Chinese submarines to come in at any time. At first, they just put all the mine protection nets on all warships in the water to prevent Chinese submarines from attacking them. But then they felt uneasy. So they simply sank a few ships and blocked the entrance to the sea so that Chinese submarines could not enter. It¡¯s unwise to use your own cruisers to deal with those battleships. Since you don¡¯t dare to come out, let¡¯s just waste it like this. So the navies of China and Russia were in a stalemate here. Deng Shichang reported the situation to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua felt that since they had blocked the waterway, there was no need for them to blockade any more. So he asked the navy to withdraw the warships, but he had to Just send submarines to pay attention to them and visit them from time to time. So the fleet all retreated to Tsushima Island to stand by. Text Chapter 379 The Reformers Visit Text Chapter 379 The Visit of the Reformers Chapter 379 The Visit of the Reformers Chapter 379 The Visit of the Reformers On this day, several guests came to Li Zhenhua¡¯s residence in Fengtian. They were brought by Yaqi. After Li Zhenhua came back, Yaqi told him one by one. First of all, one was introduced, the famous Liang Qichao, and the other was Tan Sitong. Both of them were leaders of the "Reform Movement". After listening to Yaqi's introduction, Li Zhenhua knew what they were doing. He immediately said "Long-term admiration" to the two of them and then asked them to sit down and he also sat down to listen to their opinions. Liang Qichao was the main force of the "reform" faction. He immediately began to introduce their program to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua should have a good understanding of their situation. Listening to them again would only help him understand more. They are all advanced figures in the reform and reform. In particular, Tan Sitong was rich in literary talent and his poems were very bold. "I smiled at the sky with my sword, leaving behind my liver and gallbladder" and "Raising a thousand people and singing high into the clouds" are enough to show that he is a typical example. lngmanticist. Some landscape poems incorporate personal feelings about life and express his aggressive spirit of breaking through the trap and pursuing personal liberation. The poetic style is magnificent and heroic, with a strong romanticism. The two of them have been talking to Li Zhenhua for more than two hours here, but they are still not satisfied. However, in Li Zhenhua's opinion, their actions are good in terms of ideological starting point, but too aggressive in terms of actions. This is early in history. It had already been proven, so he didn't say anything to them, neither opposition nor support, just that he would think about it again. It seems that the purpose of Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao's trip to Fengtian was not achieved, but Li Zhenhua was very enthusiastic about them on the surface. Liang Qichao and Tan Sitong felt that Li Zhenhua was only a reformer in name (this was their own classification) ), but in fact they could only be conservatives, or at best, Westernizers. Therefore, they did not delay much in Fengtian and soon they went back disappointed. After seeing them off, Yaqi said to Li Zhenhua: "There are two more guests, can you see them now?" After saying that, she smiled mischievously at Li Zhenhua and asked, "Who are they? It's worth letting my wife bring them." " You may not have heard of their names, but they are very famous in the south. ""Who is it?" "His surname is Sun Dan and" Li Zhenhua caught Yaqi before she could finish. Li Zhenhua interrupted her words with his hand and said hurriedly: "Who is it? Say it again." This time it was Yaqi's turn to be surprised and said: "Sun Wen, what's wrong with you?" "Please, please, please" This is Li Zhenhua is known to later generations as the founding father. Wang Xin hurriedly invited the person in. Li Zhenhua saw that he was indeed younger than the person in the photo. Li Zhenhua hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with him tightly. This made Sun Wenke a little uncomfortable with the fact that he was in the whole big crowd. I was really flattered that such a famous person in Qing Dynasty was so enthusiastic towards a little person like me. Sun Wen came in without any trouble and said to Li Zhenhua: "I wholeheartedly want to make the Chinese nation strong, but there has never been a good way to go. Seeing that the general has done a lot of work for the country and the people, I admire him very much. Come and ask the general to keep me here so that I can do some work for the prosperity of the country and the strengthening of the army." Li Zhenhua was very happy when he saw the founding father's request. He glanced at the other man next to Sun Wen and asked, "What do you call this gentleman?" One of my like-minded friends is named Huang Xing. "That's great. These are the two leaders of Xinhai. They are definitely like-minded comrades." Li Zhenhuaqing and the others talked about their current views on the current situation, so Sun and Huang started talking to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua listened carefully to what they said, and added a few sentences from time to time. Their purpose and ideas were better than those of the reformers. too much. They talked from noon to night before they stopped. Li Zhenhua meant to let him stay with him, but Sun Wen said that he wanted to go to the front line of railway construction to contribute more to China's railway construction. Li Zhenhua thought about it for a moment. Agreeing to his request, he knew that Sun Wen was very enthusiastic about railway construction in the original history, so let him use his light and heat there. Huang Xing asked him to join the army. He was also very brave in fighting. Let him manage specific tasks later. The next day Li Zhenhua invited Zhan Tianyou and introduced Sun Wen to him. The two got along very well at first sight. Li Zhenhua said to Zhan Tianyou: "Now that it's better, you can stay at home more and let Mr. Sun Wen go down there more." When you run away, you can do more management and technical work at home." Zhan Tianyou was very happy when he heard this: "It's best if I go down there and sometimes I can't take care of the work at home. Now Brother Sun can help. I¡¯m very busy.¡±They went to the factory below to take a look. Sun Wen said to Li Zhenhua: "When I was in Western countries, I saw that they installed weapons on trains. I think this method is very good. We don't want to imitate it, but we can also imitate one for future use." "It will be used during war." Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Okay, let's ask Mr. Sun to draw a drawing for us to consult and then we can put it into production immediately." Sun Wen was also called Sun Dapao, which also means that he likes his work. Li Lifengxing did what he said. He immediately asked Zhan Tianyou for paper and pen and started drawing immediately. After a while, a picture of an armored train came out. Li Zhenhua looked at it and modified some places so that it would be more perfect. Sun Wen immediately said: "Li The general has never seen an armored train, but his ideas are much better than what I have seen. It seems that you are really a military genius." Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Geniuses can't be thought of as having many military experiences. "This is mainly due to your influence." Following Li Zhenhua's instructions, the Intelligence Ministry sent all the information about Kang Youwei. Li Zhenhua took a serious look at the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 because the Chinese did not lose to the Japanese and there was no such thing. He did not engage in any "public petition" for the humiliating "Shimonoseki Treaty", but he wrote to the emperor many times in the past few years demanding reform and reform. Regarding Germany's occupation of Jiao'ao, he launched a "public petition" to face Germany. In response to the invasion of foreigners and the traitorous "Jiao-ao Lend Treaty", under his instigation, the candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam this year gathered more than a thousand people and gave Emperor Guangxu a message asking him to open a school for political reform, reform, etc. Text Chapter 380 Let us send them away, there is no way Text Chapter 380: Let us send them away, even if they have no chance Chapter 380: Let us send them off, no matter how much money they have "The people became wary of them. The fight between the two factions in the court kept adding to their evidence. It turned out that the leader in the court was Weng Tonghe, but now they felt that Master Weng was already stinky and they no longer planned to use his banner. Text But because Master Weng was still useful in front of Emperor Guangxu, they could not completely get rid of Master Weng for a while. This time they sent Liang Qichao and Tan Sitong to the northeast to find out Li Zhenhua's background. However, Li Zhenhua did not make a clear statement so that they could not get rid of him. Li Zhenhua lost confidence. They felt that Li Zhenhua was on the conservative side. Although many of his practices were Westernization, he was nothing more than serving the old system. Kang Youwei had no illusions about him. However, Kang Youwei and others don¡¯t want to think about the reform proposals you put forward. Li Zhenhua has already carried out them. However, Li Zhenhua is doing practical things but making verbal suggestions to Emperor Guangxu. However, they, the proposers, are still They look down on these people who are really doing things, but they call them conservatives. In April, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao initiated the establishment of the "Bao Guoguo" in Beijing to directly prepare for the reform and reform. After the letter on the bus had little effect, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others founded the "Global Gazette" to continue to promote the reform and reform by introducing the economic situation of capitalist countries. Soon they joined forces with the ministers of North Korea and China to organize regular speeches at "Strengthening Society" gatherings in Beijing. Later, they changed the name of "Global Gazette" to "China and Foreign Affairs Journal" and published it as the official newspaper of the Qiang Society. The reformist political group gradually formed. Although Emperor Guangxu nominally assumed power when he was seventeen years old, the real power was still in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Guangxu faced the danger of carving up the world by the great powers. The internal power was not in his hands as the emperor. Facing the reform reforms of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others, he became very interested, so he asked Cixi for actual power in 1898 (the year of 1898). Let him carry out political reforms. At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi supported the reform. She had some conversations with Emperor Guangxu that can be confirmed: According to Fei Xingjian's "Biography of the Empress Dowager Cixi", as early as the beginning of the reform, the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Emperor Guangxu: "The reform is the original intention. At the beginning of the Tongzhi period, Zeng Guofan proposed to send his children abroad to study shipbuilding and weaponry in order to become rich and powerful. "If you can get rich and strong, you will do it yourself." Emperor Guangxu was always afraid that Empress Dowager Cixi would feel depressed when she stayed there. Surrounded by several scholars, Dun Shi took action boldly, hoping to complete the thousand-year mission within a week. On June 8, 1898, Xu Zhijing asked Emperor Guangxu to formally change the old law and implement the new policy. On June 11, the third day after the submission, Guangxu promulgated the "Edict to Decide the Country" to express his determination to change the system. This was also the beginning of the actual Hundred Days Reform. Later, Guangxu summoned Kang Youwei and appointed him to Zhang Jingxing as the think tank of the reform. Later, Tan Sitong, Yang Rui, Lin Xu, Liu Guangdi and others were used to assist in the reform and reform. Let's not talk about the commotion among the "scholars" in Beijing. The Russian negotiators Lobanov and Witte also arrived in Tianjin to join the Russian Minister to China, Casini. Once they got to know each other, they realized that Li Zhenhua was still there. In the Northeast, they wanted to negotiate in Beijing, but Cassini told them that the Qing Empire had already talked about it and it was useless to talk to anyone. They could only talk to Li Zhenhua. When they arrived at the Zhili Governor's Office in Tianjin, they met Ronglu. Ronglu welcomed them into the lobby very politely. However, when the location of the negotiation was mentioned, Ronglu immediately mentioned the matter. The court had already had a decree to let the Russian envoys I went to Fengtian to negotiate with General Li Zhenhua. Russian Foreign Minister Lobanov immediately said that the negotiations should be held in Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Why should I go to Fengtian to negotiate? Ronglu was also a knowledgeable official and immediately said to them: "If I say so, it should be negotiated in Fengtian. First, the war was fought there. Second, shouldn't you take the opportunity to see your prisoners of war? Yours?" The Governor of Siberia, General Alexeyev, misses you very much.¡± After saying that, Ronglu raised the tea cup in his hand and stood aside and shouted loudly: ¡°See you off¡± for a few Ge. Shiha immediately walked up to them and politely extended his hand to invite them out. After a few people came out, they had no choice but to go to Fengtian, even if they didn't negotiate there, because the Tsar had already told them that they must meet Governor Alexeyev. Now it was easier to just go to Fengtian to solve all the problems. Save yourself the trouble of going to Beijing and say that these Chinese people are very good at getting things done. Witte said: "In Chinese terms, this is called Thirty Years in Hedong, Thirty Years in Hexi, and Forty Years in Hexi. Our Far East Governor General Muravyov once said to the Chinese: The Chinese"The only way to solve the border issue is to let them come to me and find others. It's useless. Now we are also taking this path." "Although the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway has been opened, since the current trains are only in trial operation, there is no one to arrange trains for them. They have to send people to the market to look after the carriages and horses. However, when I heard that the Russians wanted to rent carriages and horses from Tianjin Wei The fellow villagers became angry: "Why do you want us to send them to Fengtian? None of mn. " "I said that if any of the old and young men of Tianjin Wei sent a Russian old man to Fengtian, it would be un-Chinese. If anyone went there, he would have lost eight lifetimes of virtue. ¡± I¡¯m sorry that none of the Chinese people in the Tianjin foot tours went. They immediately informed all the foot tours that no matter how much money they gave, they could not wait for the old Russian thieves who asked them to run wild in China. Now they have been defeated. We used our carriages and horses to negotiate with General Li. Later, the Russians rented carriages and horses for them through the help of the French, and they were on the road. Looking carefully at some of the changes in China, at Shanhaiguan there was a railway that passed directly through the city and went directly to the north. Witte sighed: "The changes in China are not small. You can see it from the spirit of these road construction workers." They don't seem to be working for those foreigners, especially those migrant workers from the Qing Dynasty. Look at how proactive they are in their work. "Kassini replied: "The workers and soldiers here are all under the jurisdiction of General Li. He doesn't know what he fed them and worked like crazy. This has never happened in this country. " Text Chapter 381 Preparing for Negotiation Text Chapter 381 Preparing for Negotiation Chapter 381 Preparing for Negotiation Chapter 381 Preparing for Negotiation Russian Finance Minister Witte said: "The Chinese can make the workers do something that is absolutely impossible for us to achieve in a short time." "We can also" Foreign Minister Lobanov said disdainfully: "That is to use a whip." "Whips do not have this effect. You see that their overseers do not have whips in their hands. They seem to have only paper and pens in their hands, and they and those The attitude of the workers is very good." A few days later, they came to Fengtian and asked the governor and generals who were working on the construction work below. After arriving at the construction site, they had to rest at the consulate in Fengtian and wait for the return of senior Chinese officials. In fact, Li Zhenhua and the others knew every move they made, but they just wanted to curb Russia's arrogance and not let them take it too easy. Besides, if they were delayed for a few more days, wouldn't the prisoners of war be able to work for a few more days? Li Zhenhua and Xu Shichang came back half a month later. They met with the Russian negotiators and said to them: "Our negotiators haven't arrived yet. Please wait a few more days." After that, Li Zhenhua and the others said No more meeting. Li Zhenhua didn't go downstairs this time. He wanted to arrange the details of the negotiations with his group. He couldn't prepare at all when others came. If there were any omissions, he wouldn't forgive himself. He couldn't handle the details of the negotiations. The slightest concession to the Russians must make them spend a lot of money to slow down the construction of their Far East Railway, buying themselves and this disaster-ridden country decades, at least ten years, for economic construction so that people can support themselves. Refresh your war wounds. Xu Shichang, Feng Guozhang, and Sun Wen all came. Li Zhenhua clearly told them his thoughts. The main negotiations were first, money, second, territorial issues, and third, prisoners of war. Xu Shichang, who had been thinking about the negotiation issue, immediately said to Li Zhenhua: "We must ask them for the money, but there are some things that are difficult to deal with regarding the territorial issue." Xu Shichang took out the 1858 "Ai Hui" Treaty", the "Beijing Treaty" of 2000 and the "Sino-Russian Treaty on the Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary" of 4 years. Li Zhenhua clearly knows that it is these three unequal treaties that Russia has occupied more than 1.5 million square kilometers of our territory. . Looking at the part of the territory delimited by these three unequal treaties, several people shed blood and tears in their hearts. The matter is in front of us, but we can't get all these territories back yet. We only have these tens of thousands of troops in our hands. If we use them for defense, our troops will become even less once we separate them. Isn't it a joke to hand them over to those Green Camp and Eight Banners soldiers? They will have them. Can you defend your own country? But if you have to defend yourself, how can you have so many troops? But if you don¡¯t talk about the territorial issue, the victory of this battle is a bit awkward. Several people all looked at Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua frowned and after a while he said: "This way Let's do our best and first raise the territorial issue and let them withdraw their troops from these places. How we defend it is our own business. The Russians have nothing to do with us." Feng Guozhang said: "There are no big problems in the northwest. We are there. There is no problem with the garrison of the troops and the Kazakh troops, but it is impossible for us to take back this vast area in the northeast without garrisoning troops." At this time, Sun Wen said: "General Li, I think we can use your original method of forming militia teams to let the locals. farmers and hunters to defend their homeland. We are responsible for providing weapons and equipment, which can last for a period of time. Then we will immediately start recruiting new soldiers and train them. After that, we will use veteran soldiers to take them out to defend their homeland. They are local warriors. I will definitely work hard to defend my homeland. "Sun Wen's statement cannot be said to be a good idea now, so we can only do this first. Besides, the withdrawal of the Russian army cannot be completed in a day and a half, so let's do it first. That¡¯s it. "But Sakhalin must be taken back. It is an island larger than Taiwan, and there are a lot of resources on it. They don't have many troops stationed there now. If they take it back, we can attack the Russian army. The current garrison has formed an outflanking situation, allowing them to retreat faster. "Feng Guozhang said, "This is a good move." Li Zhenhua continued: "If we take back Sakhalin Island, we will be more proactive in military matters. This is also beneficial to Japan. "As for how much silver they want from the Russians, they have set a standard first, that is, they will ask them for 10 million taels of silver and then we will see what tricks they have. Anyway, we can win. In this world, whoever has the biggest fist will listen. So they immediatelyThey took action and started recruiting new soldiers. At the same time, they also started recruiting in their own newspapers. The age was set at 18 to 25 years old. The only son is not allowed. This is because they will go to the battlefield in the future and only have one son. It is not possible. If they were sacrificed at this stage, their families would be greatly affected and their lives would definitely be very difficult. This time the recruitment did not say it was for security work, it was just for recruiting soldiers. Now I am not afraid of anything happening to the court. Besides, the court is busy carrying out their reform and reform. There is something in the court saying that in order to protect their country. This is also serious business. Li Zhenhua doesn't believe that there are still people who dare to talk nonsense. After a few days, Li Zhenhua informed the Russian delegation that negotiations would take place tomorrow. Although they had already made preparations, they were still busy preparing what to say to the Chinese. Although they had already had a charter, there were no fewer issues that should be considered. They hurriedly held a discussion. In the past few days, they also met Governor Alexeyev in the Chinese prisoner-of-war camp. The Chinese did not let him go to work. I am sorry. The Governor is also older. He is over sixty years old this year, so he is exempted. As for his labor, even some generals over fifty years old did not let them participate in labor, which really gave them a lot of face. When he met with the Siberian Governor Alexeev and others, the Governor immediately burst into tears and asked them to rescue him as soon as possible as soon as he saw his relatives. He didn't want to be here for a day anymore. Text Chapter 382 The Germans are coming again Text Chapter 382 The Germans are coming again Chapter 382 The Germans are coming again Chapter 382 The Germans are coming again Russian Finance Minister Witte took a look at their living conditions and food. The Chinese prepared good things for them in order to take care of them. Because of their eating habits, the chefs of senior officers in their army were sent to them just to make them eat well, and the food was well matched and basically conformed to the eating habits of the Russians. Witte said to Alexeyev, the Governor of Siberia: "Your Excellency, Governor, we are about to negotiate with them. We will rescue you as soon as possible and let you return to St. Petersburg as soon as possible. His Majesty the Tsar misses you very much. Don't worry. "But none of the soldiers saw any of them. They said that they were letting the prisoners of war work on the Chinese construction sites. Witte cursed in his heart, Alexeyev, you stupid pig, if the Chinese let you go to the construction site too. The construction site would be fine. You wouldn't have ignored the Tsar's words and sent troops without permission. This was all the result of your sending troops. But he didn't say anything, just comforted him a few words and went back. The next day, China and Russia began formal negotiations. On the Chinese side, Li Zhenhua, Sun Wen, Xu Shichang, Feng Guozhang and others were present. On the Russian side, Finance Minister Witte, Foreign Minister Lobanov and Minister to China Rosini were present. The two sides began to introduce their personnel to each other and then confirmed the identities of the Russian negotiators. The Chinese side did not have this procedure because the negotiation was Li Zhenhua¡¯s business. The court did not ask or ask questions, so he did not have any power of attorney. Anyway, I was sitting here. You can quit if you don't want to, but no one will stop you. Without too much nonsense, Feng Guozhang directly gave his side's negotiating points to the Russians. The Russian side looked at Witte's face and immediately changed. He said to Li Zhenhua: "The conditions of the Commander-in-Chief are too high and we have no way to meet them." "It doesn't matter. You can think about it slowly. We can sign the contract when it's done. Isn't that how the treaty was signed forty years ago?" The Russians went back to their residence to discuss the conditions proposed by the Chinese. They only have three principles: one is that the Russian army withdraws from the 1.5 million square kilometers of Chinese territory previously occupied through the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing" and the "Sino-Russian Treaty on the Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary"; the other is that the Russian army withdraws from the territory occupied by Russia. The compensation fee of 10 million taels of silver is related to the issue of prisoners of war. This means that if this treaty is signed, Russia will lose all the Chinese territory they have occupied in the past 40 years and return to the area north of the Xing'an Mountains. At the same time, more than 10 million taels of silver will be given to the Chinese. Hearing this came as a surprise to all the Russians participating in the negotiations. These Chinese people are too daring to think. But when you think about it again, weren¡¯t these lands taken from the Chinese back then? It's just that I have given it back to others now. But these ten million taels of silver are really painful. Although this is not his own money, as the finance minister, Witte knows very well that there is not much gold and silver in his treasury. Russia's financial expenditure mainly consists of two The bulk of it is military spending and the construction of the Far East Railway. Now it is too hard to accept that these places are given to the Chinese. Russia has invested nearly 2 billion rubles in building this Far East Railway (in the ten years from 1981 to 1891 alone, they invested 5 billion rubles). Billions of rubles) Now if the land is returned to the Chinese themselves, it will be equivalent to giving the eastern section of this railway to the Chinese for free. But it was impossible not to give. Who let himself be defeated? Werther immediately sent an emergency telegram to Tsar Nicholas II in St. Petersburg to report. This made the telegraph office in Fengtian another good profit. Two words, one tael of silver, and four letters are equal to two words, which is also one tael. There are many telegrams exchanged between the two parties. Even Xu Shichang and Feng Guozhang said that Li Zhenhua, you are too shady. Li Zhenhua said: "This is not just me making money. The British submarine cable will not let us use it in vain. I am also helping the British make money." Li Zhenhua originally wanted to take a good rest, but the Germans called for him. The people who came were the Minister to China Haijing and the German Governor of Jiaoao Region Dietrich. As soon as he heard that these two people were here, Li Zhenhua asked them to be brought in and sat down. Then he got straight to the point and asked: "What business do you two come to me for?" As a professional diplomat, Haijing is naturally an old man. He said to Li Zhenhua: "First of all, we are here to congratulate General Li. You used a mere 70,000 divisions to annihilate the Russian army of 180,000 people in one month. As a country with a large army, we admire your characteristics very much." I would like to express my congratulations. We are determined to cooperate with General Li in various aspects, including military industry and science and technology. We, the German Empire, will cooperate with you with the most sincerity.¡±"You are just giving me a slap in the face, do you think I am a child?" "No, no, no, we are here to cooperate with you sincerely. We know that if your army is not going to deal with the Russians, but to deal with it, We believe that we will not be smarter than the Russians in getting there. " "You are quite sensible. Come and take a look here." Li Zhenhua walked to the door leading to the inner room and a guard opened it for him. The terrain sand table of the Jiao'ao area appeared in front of them. The squadron had formed a situation of surrounding the Jiao'ao area. On the outer sea, there were more than a dozen small warships surrounding it, and a regiment's troops were deployed there. Li Zhenhua said to them: "Everyone, this is our Jiao'ao area that you just occupied. I tell you clearly that I am going to beat you like this. Do you have any way to solve this problem? In front of our submarines, your main warships They have all reached the bottom of the sea. "Hai Jing was fine, but as a soldier, Vice Admiral Dietrich had sweat coming off his head. Li Zhenhua left them there to conduct their own research. He came out of the house and sat down to drink tea. The next two Germans were muttering in the room. After half an hour, Dietrich came out of the room. Dietrich saluted Li Zhenhua with a military salute. Then he asked: "General, are those small warships you have in the open sea the same kind of submarines you use to deal with the Russian Pacific Fleet?" Text Chapter 383 The Kaiser gave a useless pistol Text Chapter 383 The Kaiser sent a useless pistol Chapter 383 The Kaiser gave a useless pistol Chapter 383 The Kaiser gave a useless pistol "What do you think?" Li Zhenhua stood up and continued: "Dieter General Rishi, you are an excellent naval general. Do you think I will use our cruisers to deal with your battleships? " "General, I can honestly say that you did this as soon as we entered the Jiao'ao area of ????your country. The battle plan is that now I think it will be difficult for us to defend your Jiao'ao area. "Haijing has seen that Li Zhenhua has no idea of ??using troops against the Germans yet, so he immediately said: "General Li, you are a military expert. Genius, it would be unfortunate for our soldiers to encounter you, but we have now peacefully resolved the dispute in the Jiao'ao area. Now we are friends, aren't we?" "Mr. Hai Jing, what you said is wrong. For me, such a treaty It can only be a piece of waste paper. I can fight at any time if I want. If I want to rent your country's Wilhelmshaven, can you agree?" Haijing, who was as thick-skinned as a millstone, just turned red. He immediately said: "General Li, we all need peace now, don't we? Besides, we are different from the British who leased Hong Kong. They only obtained their own interests there, but we invested a lot of marks there to build it. The future Jiao'ao area will be the most beautiful city in the East. Isn't it the same with your construction here? "This Haijing is truly a seasoned diplomat who did not forget to express his love to the British. This step is also a reminder to Li Zhenhua that you should not always hold us accountable and that you should consider the attitude of the British. Li Zhenhua saw that he was almost out of breath. He sat down and the two Germans also sat down. Haijing took out two wooden boxes from a suitcase he brought with him and put them on the table in front of Li Zhenhua. He said: "This is given to you by our respected Emperor." Then he slowly opened it with his hands and took out the contents. As soon as Li Zhenhua looked at the wooden box inside, he recognized that it was a Chinese pistol. They call it "box gun", "zilaide", "shell gun" and some call it "twenty-gun". However, the two pistols they brought were too luxurious. Some of the decorations on the handles were all made of gold. The ones made by me seem to be a little heavy in my hands. They are not weapons but a craft. Li Zhenhua took it in his hand and looked at it. He knew that this kind of pistol was considered a good pistol by others. However, the German manufacturer wanted it to be installed in the army. However, due to some shortcomings of the pistol itself, it has not been installed in the army. However, It is different for China. It is the most popular pistol in China. It has appeared from China's warlord war to the Anti-Japanese War, from the Liberation War to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It is also the one that Li Zhenhua fought the most. Pistol. So he said to Dietrich: "Please try this gun." Several people stood up and went to the backyard together. There is a small shooting range in Li Zhenhua's backyard. Li Zhenhua's guards usually practice here sometimes. Li Zhenhua will also come and shoot with the soldiers. Dietrich asked his guards to place a target for him twenty meters away. Dietrich raised his gun and fired three times. After all of them hit, he handed the gun to Li Zhenhua, meaning you should try it too. Li Zhenhua has a try. When the drama came, he asked the guard to place ten bricks fifty meters away. Li Zhenhua stepped forward and blocked Dietrich's sight with his body. He also said "pop, pop, pop." He raised his hand and fired the shot. Seeing that ten bricks in the distance had been smashed, this marksmanship was much better than Dietrich's. This surprised Dietrich. He had put in a lot of effort to practice this kind of gun. He didn't know how much he had spent on bullets alone. As soon as other people saw this kind of gun, they shot better than themselves. This is amazing. He really deserves to be called a military genius. Li Zhenhua took the gun and asked: "It will be very difficult for the general factory to install this kind of pistol in the army." Dietrich hurriedly asked: "Why?" Li Zhenhua said to him: "You come here First, the design of this pistol is perfect, it has strong firepower, is fast and comfortable to use, so its price will not be low. Second, its scale is 1000 meters, but the pistol cannot hit the target at 1000 meters with a pistol. The third is When it shoots, the muzzle will jump upward, making it difficult to control the accuracy of its shooting." "To kill William II with this kind of pistol is to give away a piece of trash, which made Lieutenant General Dietrich's face. It was hard to see, but Li Zhenhua handed the pistol to a German entourage and asked him to fire two rounds. The result was as you can imagine. At twenty meters, one of his rounds missed the target. Then one of Li Zhenhua's guards also fired a few shots, but he was much stronger than them. Li Zhenhua saw the Germans¡¯ unhappy faces and said to them: ¡°I like the gift your Emperor William gave me very much. You thanked him for me.¡±?I will definitely visit him if I get the chance. " Several people returned to their houses. Li Zhenhua gave them a hand again. He covered his eyes with a towel, disassembled the pistol into parts on the table, and then quickly assembled them again, which lasted only a few minutes. At the same time, he loaded the gun and said to them: "Please tell me what the purpose of your visit this time is. "The two of them looked at each other and Haijing said: "Our Emperor specifically told us to come to you mainly so that both parties can better cooperate. You are doing large-scale construction here and there must be a lot between us. things can be learned from each other. " "Yes, I agree with your emperor. We have a lot to learn from you. So is there anything you need? " "Yes," Dietrich said immediately: "We are very interested in your kind of submarine. They gave the Russians a hard lesson. Even the Russian battleships were no match for them. In addition, we are also very interested in the mortars used by your infantry. " "We can provide these to you. " "That's great. Is there anything we can do to help you? " "Yes, it seems that the armor used on warships is better than that of the United States and the United Kingdom. For example, our "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" were shot many times in the battle with the Japanese navy, but they fought until the end. This is enough to prove that your warship armor is the best. " Text Chapter 384 Who is plagiarizing? Text Chapter 384: Who is plagiarizing? Chapter 384: Who is plagiarizing? Chapter 384: Who is plagiarizing? After hearing Li Zhenhua¡¯s words, General Dietrich couldn¡¯t help but think that this person was Tai Li. He got to the core of the problem in a moment. But the value of other people's submarines is also very high. A small submarine can send a large battleship to the sea. Even if the price of a battleship is higher than the price of a battleship, you have to consider it. After saying for so long that it was time for dinner, Li Zhenhua invited them to dinner and then called Feng Guozhang to accompany him to dinner, and then asked Feng Guozhang to discuss cooperation issues with them. Li Zhenhua himself ran to the military factory. He redrawn the drawings of the May 4th pistol that he had made. He went to the factory to discuss with some old masters and asked them to produce a few prototype guns as soon as possible. When he came out, he took the gun apart and the workers immediately understood its principle. The workers immediately took action to find materials to make molds and prepare tools. They started working immediately. Isn't it the same as making a few pistols in a large military factory? What's more, Li Zhenhua was on hand to provide guidance. On the morning of the next day, several May 4th-type pistols were delivered to Li Zhenhua's hands. The ready-made 7.62 mm He was given hundreds of rounds of pistol bullets. Li Zhenhua fired a few rounds of May 4th to try, and the results were pretty good. Several guards also wanted to try it. He also asked the guards to try it, and they all expressed satisfaction. The May 4th Type was designed by Tokarev during the former Soviet Union. Some people called it a tray. It was installed in the entire Soviet Red Army and later the People's Liberation Army, so it also has certain advantages. They were attacking General Dietrich when they came over again. Li Zhenhua gave him a Type 54 and asked him to try it. Dietrich immediately tried the gun and the result was much better than using a harp. Dietrich It was immediately suggested that the two parties could exchange the drawings of the two pistols. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to Dietrich: "You don't need this one. If you like it, I'll even give you the drawings. We can let you produce it in your country, but its ammunition capacity is smaller, only eight." It¡¯s just that this is our handmade sample gun and it may not look very good. I will definitely give you a good gun in the future, but I won¡¯t decorate it with gold.¡± After that, Li Zhenhua gave him another one. The fixed pistol that I have already installed in the army is my imitation Mouse that has been tested in war. This one is loaded with ten rounds and has fewer bullets than theirs. The caliber is also different. The German one is 9 mm, while the own model 1897 is 7.62 mm. Dietrich also fired a few rounds and tried it, and found that the situation was similar. But it¡¯s just that May Fourth is better than anything else. Those are the pistols installed by the two major military countries, the Soviet Union and China, and now the German army is added to them. Haijing and Dietrich have gained a lot in the past few days in Fengtian. They initialed several basic cooperation agreements with Li Zhenhua and exchanged the armor of their own warships for a Chinese submarine and a pistol. The result will definitely be good after they return. They were praised by William II and left happily. The Type 54 pistol that I just designed can be equipped for use by officers above the battalion level. At the same time, I also gave them a new name. The Type 54 pistol is called Type 1898. In the future, we can also design a model with an ammunition capacity of twenty rounds and call it type 18972, and the ten-round type 1897. In this way, the Chinese have three types of pistols. The key is that the bullets of the two pistols can be shared. This is the main thing, and some parts are also common. A few days later, Li Zhenhua showed both of his pistols to the Germans. Only then did the Germans realize that the Chinese had already had their own pistols and that their pistols had been installed for a long time. Although the designs were almost the same, The Chinese did not say that the Germans plagiarized it because the calibers of the two guns were fundamentally different, but their almost identical appearance made Dietrich feel very shameless. This Mouser company was too shameless. You plagiarized China. The pistol technology that people have already installed has made me come here to make a fool of myself. It's not a joke. They didn¡¯t know that Li Zhenhua plagiarized their technology, which made the Germans suffer a hidden loss. However, because Li Zhenhua did not pursue their plagiarism, the Germans did not lose too much. The cooperation with the Germans was very good. We provided them with the technology of submarines, mortars and a pistol. This made Dietrich very happy. At the same time, they also decided to provide the Chinese with the technology of steel for warships and some special steel technology. However, they paid a royalties for China's 1898 style. Li Zhenhua didn't feel uncomfortable here. At the same time, Dietrich also wanted to send his active-duty officers in Jiao'ao to train newly recruited soldiers in Fengtian. But Feng Guozhang politely declined. Our army is already the most powerful army in the world. We?It is necessary to ask others to help us with military training. Although some Qing troops used to ask Germans to help with training, we don't use it now. Some officers below expressed their incomprehension about the cooperation with the Germans. Li Zhenhua said to them that the technical content of these weapons is not high. If we don't give them to them, they will soon imitate them. We might as well use them in exchange for some useful new technologies. It is of great benefit to us. In addition, more of our new weapons will be released soon, but we will not tell others about these. Negotiations with Russia went on intermittently for nearly a month. Finally, the two sides finally reached an agreement. The general content is as follows: The two sides abrogated the previously concluded 1858 "Aihun Treaty", the 0-year "Beijing Treaty" and the 4-year-old "Beijing Treaty". "Sino-Russian Agreement on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary" Russia will compensate China for military expenses of 8 million taels of silver, which will be paid in four years. The first payment will be 3.5 million taels in that year, and the subsequent repayment of 1.5 million taels with interest of two years and four will be paid every year. 1. After the signing of the treaty, the Russian army should begin to withdraw from the original occupied area from now on. The withdrawal should be completed within one year. The troops stationed in Vladivostok are allowed to withdraw within five years (Annex 1). When the Russian army withdraws, there are local residents who are willing to evacuate with it. You can evacuate with them, but if you don't agree to evacuate, you can't force them to evacuate. The retreating Russian troops are not allowed to persecute local personnel, and items and civilian and military facilities are not allowed to be damaged. China will send an observation team to supervise the situation. Anyone who violates the regulations will be punished for war liability. Text Chapter 385 Traitors and National Heroes Text Chapter 385 Traitors and National Heroes Chapter 385 Traitors and National Heroes Chapter 385 Traitors and National Heroes The squadron immediately began to repatriate prisoners of war in four installments, completed within four years. The first time was completed after the signing of the treaty. Russia completed the first reparation payment. That is to say, the repatriation begins. The first repatriation is for senior officers with the rank of general, lieutenant general, major general and brigadier general. The second repatriation is for school-level officers. The third is for repatriation of lieutenant-level officers. The fourth is for repatriation of soldiers. However, each repatriation needs to be completed in Russia. After the payment was made, they began to repatriate the senior officers who were eager to go back. They did not pay attention to the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, but what we used for labor was the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level. This matter will be much easier to handle. ¡°Furthermore, the repatriation of prisoners of war must be officers and soldiers they are willing to go back to. For officers and soldiers who are unwilling to return to Russia, China will not force them to go back. This means that those Russians who are willing to stay will never go back in the future. The Russian side will pay a prisoner-of-war management fee of 3 million taels to the Chinese side. The first time is 1.5 million taels, and it will be paid back in three installments of 500,000 taels each time. However, no one knows how many people can go back this last time. Signing address: Fengtian, China Li Zhenhua, Commander-in-Chief of the New Army of China Feng Guozhang Chief of General Staff of the New Army Xu Shichang Governor of Northeast China Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire Lobanov Minister of Finance Vitt Russian Minister to China Kassini Documents in quadruplicate, in Chinese and two in Russian, each party Bring one original copy in Chinese and Russian. d. Treaty of July 14, 1898 Regarding the annex: Attached to Annex 1 is a map with place names in Chinese and Russian, which clearly indicates the detailed planned location, time, and names of the troops that need to withdraw. Number, etc. But what was specifically mentioned above is that Sakhalin must be completely returned this year. Regarding the signing of the treaty, Li Zhenhua did not intend to write his name, but Xu Shichang, Feng Guozhang and others all opposed it. They all said the same thing, that is, if China wants to have a real leader, it must be in the country. This is the best opportunity to establish your prestige in front of the people. Li Zhenhua understood what they meant. Now the country is in a sensitive period. The group of "reform" figures are making a fuss. They and the conservative Mao Dun are getting bigger and bigger, and they are going to start a war immediately. If there is any problem in the country, there needs to be a situation where one person can stand up and call for the whole people to respond. The two battles in the northeast and northwest and the war reparations made Russia vomit a lot of blood. The results of the negotiations with the Russians were quickly published in the newspapers, and the whole country celebrated which negotiation and negotiation with foreigners in the past four years. Not all of them end with us suffering losses, but now this General Li has made the Chinese feel proud twice. The last time was against the Japanese, this time against the Russians, and this time people not only recovered more than 1.5 million square kilometers. We have lost land and won war reparations from the Russians. Now it is the Russians' turn to give us Chinese money. Are those officials and ordinary people unhappy? Since the person who signed to lease "Jiao'ao" ??is a "traitor", then the person who signed the contract to defeat the Russian army is a "national hero". Therefore, Li Zhenhua's name is the one that appears most frequently after dinner. Dozens of news media across the country are talking about Li Zhenhua. Even Kang Youwei and others who were dismissive of Li Zhenhua had to admire Li Zhenhua's heroic deeds. Those conservatives also felt that Li Zhenhua was theirs. They also boasted everywhere that Li Zhenhua was their distant and distant relative. It turned out that the Manchus and Han people They were scolded at the time for not intermarrying, but now they are bragging about it everywhere, making people sneer at them. The Westernizationists were also happy for Li Zhenhua. They united and donated a large amount of money to Li Zhenhua. Businessmen from all over the country responded positively. Because with Li Zhenhua, their economic activities became more convenient, and politically the businessmen's power also improved. People no longer look down upon businessmen so much. Due to the improvement in their status, they all believed that this was due to Li Zhenhua. When they heard that Li Zhenhua made the Chinese feel proud again, they donated a large amount of funds. From the end of the war to the present, they have received donations of more than 6 million taels. This has made the Northeast The construction has increased a large amount of construction funds. North Korea, Annan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan and other countries and regions also sent congratulatory messages to express their praise for Li Zhenhua's signing. Those subordinate units of Xinghua Company also sent telegrams to express their congratulations. Some countries and enterprises that have business dealings with Xinghua Company also expressed their congratulations. Many overseas Chinese also sent letters and telegrams to express their joy. There was also a letter from Persia, but the distance was too far, which made Wang Xin and the Persian beauty miss their husband's letters much slower. The telegraph lines and roads there are under construction. It is not possible to contact Avna by telegraph yet? Abil said it first. How I miss my husband?Li Zhenhua misses her very much. Li Zhenhua's first thought was to let her come to him so that he could take care of her. But after seeing what happened later, he couldn't say anything because Avna Abir told him that his father's health was deteriorating and he could no longer take care of his brother. In fact, she is not the material for managing the country. She has already taken on all the national affairs. If it weren't for Wang Xin's help, she really wouldn't know how to deal with these tasks. In the letter, Wang Xin and Avna Abir also told Li Zhenhua about some recent situations in Persia. All work was being carried out according to Li Zhenhua's plan before he left. Twenty thousand outstanding Persian young people were being trained in the central region. Due to many Feng worked very well. Thanks to his efforts, those troops already looked like an army. Their training there is very hard and can no longer be compared with the old army. Under their instruction, the 20,000 people were organized into four infantry brigades. Now all Chinese are in full-time positions, and the four Persian leaders are now I am currently studying, and I have temporarily taken up a deputy position in order to better train those Chinese. Now they are all instructors. Those Chinese soldiers are so good. They have regarded this place as their second home, and they are crawling with those Persian soldiers every day. Fight together. But one thing is that there used to be an unwritten rule in various countries that all foreign soldiers must be trained in English. But now this situation has been broken by Xu Feng's men. Since the instructors are all Chinese, they have to train their soldiers. Then all training, exercises, and daily life are all in Chinese, just like the original Beiyang Navy, all combat orders were all in English. If you don't know, you think you have arrived in China. Text Chapter 386 Reform and Reform Text Chapter 386 Reform and Reform Chapter 386 Reform and Reform Chapter 386 Reform and Reform Now they have sent some of their best soldiers to work in the British theater in the south and the Russian theater in the north. They have achieved good results, making the British and Russian Neither side has the energy to penetrate into the central region. The baby will be born in a few months and you have to prepare to name your son. When he is born, he will have two names. One is Persian and the other is the Chinese name given by his father. After reading the letters from Wang Xin and Avna Abir, Li Zhenhua and the others responded with a letter giving detailed instructions for their next work. Li Zhenhua also sent a team to Persia. The personnel of this small team were too complicated, including soldiers, staff, medical staff responsible for delivering babies, and some people involved in business management, etc. In addition, a technical team to build ports was sent there. In the central region, it is necessary to build its own ports that are completely separate from the British ports. In the future, China and Persia cannot rely solely on land transportation. They must also develop maritime transportation and have their own management. It will be more convenient to transport things to the port in the future. There were so many letters from all over the country that half of the soldiers in Li Zhenhua's guard camp were engaged in reading letters and telegrams. Letters from all over the place have filled three rooms. This was something Li Zhenhua had never expected. No matter how many letters and telegrams praise Li Zhenhua, Li Zhenhua is very sober at this time, but now Beijing is in a precarious situation and he must not have a relaxed attitude. d During this period, Emperor Guangxu issued a series of reform edicts and decrees based on the suggestions of Kang Youwei and others. The main contents include: Economically, establishing the Bureau of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce and the General Administration of Roads and Mines, advocating the establishment of industrial construction, railway construction, mining of mineral resources, organizing business associations, and reforming finance. Politically, the public was allowed to open up a wide range of opinions, allowing the people to write letters and speak out. The green camp was eliminated and the new army was organized and trained. Culturally, stereotyped writing was abolished and Western learning was promoted. The Capital University was founded, a translation bookstore was established, and overseas students were sent to reward scientific works and inventions. The purpose of these reform decrees is to learn from Western culture, science and technology, and business management systems, develop capitalism, and establish a constitutional monarchy to make the country prosperous and strong. There is nothing wrong with their ideas, but their positions are different, so their actions are also very problematic. These people really dare to think that in a few months, they encouraged Emperor Guangxu to write a series of manifestos. They thought that the problems left over for thousands of years could be solved in a few months, but what they did was In order to greatly stimulate the bottom line of those conservatives, they also began to constantly advise the Empress Dowager Cixi and ask the Empress Dowager Cixi to come forward to stop Kang Youwei and his ridiculous practices. In Li Zhenhua¡¯s view, these remarks of the reformers cannot be wrong, but they are definitely not something that can be implemented in a day or two. It is not enough that they can only make suggestions to Emperor Guangxu without the support of most officials. Although the New Deal measures did not touch the foundation of feudal rule, these measures represented the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie that were not tolerated by the stubborn feudal forces. Even some ordinary officials could not adapt to their ideas for a while. Therefore, some dignitaries, dignitaries, and conservative bureaucrats in the Qing government followed the new policy measures and disobeyed orders. This created a situation where Emperor Guangxu's will could not escape the Forbidden City. So Kang Youwei suggested to the emperor that killing one or two first- and second-rank officials could promote the reform process. Now there are even more people to offend. After the "reform movement" began, the conservatives in the Qing government could not tolerate the development of the reform movement. Many people wrote to the Empress Dowager Cixi demanding that Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others be killed. Yi Kuang and Li Lianying knelt down to ask the Empress Dowager to "listen to politics behind the curtain" again. Censor Yang Chongyi went to Tianjin many times to conspire with Ronglu. There were even rumors inside and outside the palace that Guangxu would be deposed and a new emperor would be established. The struggle between the reformers and the conservatives became more and more intense, and the reformers even began to accuse Li Zhenhua, saying that he supported the army and had a self-respecting nature, and had always been rebellious. They asked Emperor Guangxu to transfer Li Zhenhua back to the capital and exempt him from military power. Li Zhenhua's financial situation was disclosed because of Li Zhenhua's Is it too much to spend money too quickly? If you move, millions of taels of silver will be thrown away. After the intelligence office in Beijing heard the news, some people below immediately attacked the reformers because they had offended the people under Li Zhenhua. In their eyes, Li Zhenhua was their god and everything to them. They dared to say anything about Li Zhenhua. No, that's really embarrassing. It's none of my business how you mess with me. But if you dare to say anything wrong about our boss, then you've had enough. As soon as the news arrived in Fengtian, Li Zhenhua immediately issued an order to Feng Yingqing. It is absolutely not allowed to do anything to those reformers. You are only responsible for keeping an eye on them. Someone will take care of them in the future. Emperor Guangxu also heard some rumors about deposing the emperor. He secretly ordered the reformers to discuss countermeasures several times, but the reformers had no real power.Without military power, they were helpless and had no choice. A few scholars could only talk. At Weng Tonghe's suggestion, they had no choice but to suggest to Emperor Guangxu that Yuan Shikai should be re-employed to deal with the conservative Ronglu and others. So Emperor Guangxu summoned Yuan Shikai twice and awarded him the title of Shiro. Yuan Shikai himself is a big careerist. His lust for power is huge. Otherwise, how could he play the scandal of being an emperor in the original history? After seeing Emperor Guangxu's urgent mood, he decided to join the imperial party, so he suggested to the emperor that we must seize the military power in the capital area. If there is no military power, it will be hard to say anything. When Guangxu heard this, he was very happy and immediately appointed him as the commander of the Shenji Battalion and let him command a part of the imperial army in the capital. After Yuan Shikai took office, he immediately proposed to the emperor that he should ease his relationship with the conservative Mao Dun. He could no longer offend all those people blindly. His reason is very simple. I just went to Shenji Camp and I am not familiar with the situation there. It will take a while before we can truly grasp the military power and make those troops available to the emperor. Emperor Guangxu also thought about asking Li Zhenhua to come back to help him, but Weng Tonghe and the reformers unanimously opposed it, saying that Li Zhenhua would not be of the same mind as the emperor. They told the truth, but if Li Zhenhua was really allowed to come back, he would not Now that he has returned, Li Zhenhua is outside the whirlpool of this political struggle. What does the so-called bystander mean? It means that he cannot be in the middle of the event but observes it beside it. . At this time, Emperor Guangxu had no choice but to listen to him. Yuan Shikai went to Li Zhenhua's hotel in Beijing. Yuan Shikai had been relatively close to the new troops in Tianjin when he was serving as the Zhili inspector in Tianjin. He quickly found them. An acquaintance found Sun Nanfeng, the hotel manager, through him. This manager is a subordinate of Feng Yingqing and a senior leader of the Beijing Intelligence Department mn. All intelligence personnel in the Beijing area are now under his management. He received Yuan Shikai in his office. Yuan Shikai directly asked Sun Nanfeng to support him with a batch of more advanced weapons and, if possible, lend him part of his troops. But Yuan Shikai knew that the combat effectiveness of those new armies was first-rate in the world. If there were new armies and new weapons, then In addition, with the support of the New Army, no one in Beijing can do anything to him. He can be said to be the boss. Text Chapter 387 Lightning Plan Text Chapter 387 Lightning Plan Chapter 387 Lightning Plan Chapter 387 Lightning Plan After hearing Yuan Shikai¡¯s request, Sun Nanfeng just told him that he would help him find a way and did not directly answer his request. After Yuan Shikai left, he immediately found Sheng Xuanhuai and Feng Yingqing to discuss Research: They know that the dispute between the imperialists and the rear parties is now imminent. Yuan Shikai is here today and it is their group of imperialists who are about to take action. Baidu search (Hand-typing chapter) The rear party members are not idle. They have also begun to organize their own armed forces. Some SI troops have also been mobilized to the city, and they are also purchasing weapons from Beijing intelligence personnel. It seems that among them A battle between them is about to take place. Sheng Xuanhuai, Feng Yinqing and Sun Nanfeng judge based on the situation that a bloody storm is about to occur in Beijing. We must make good use of this opportunity to push our leaders to the leadership position in China. Go up. So they immediately made a careful plan to give them a snipe-clam fight when the final conflict broke out between the reformers and the conservatives, so that Li Zhenhua could gain the best interests of the entire Qing Dynasty. That is to say, to gain control of the country. These people are very aware of what Li Zhenhua is doing. Since they followed Li Zhenhua, their thoughts and actions have always followed his style. They know that Li Zhenhua is bent on doing this. This country and its people are working hard, and they have achieved great results. If Li Zhenhua had more power, he would create more opportunities for our great nation, but they also know something deeply. It is that Li Zhenhua is absolutely unwilling to have a nationwide civil war. He is not willing to let the people of his country make unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice. Now it is time for the two sides to become tense. As a subordinate, he must create opportunities for his boss and let him seize them. This favorable opportunity allows Li Zhenhua to have greater power and status. Only under his leadership can China have a way out and become a powerful country in the world, so that it can no longer be bullied by the powers of the intelligence service and the military. People are absolutely loyal to Li Zhenhua, even more loyal than the people in the army. Now if they are asked to sacrifice for Li Zhenhua, they will not hesitate at all. Several people studied this issue carefully and then formulated a plan. They named the complete action plan "Operation Lightning". They immediately decided that Feng Yingqing would report to Li Zhenhua in person. But Sheng Xuanhuai immediately said: "I have to go too. For our superiors, I'm afraid he will still hesitate. I will go." Tell him that Beijing is about to get big and it is too dangerous. We should prepare to move some important people and materials to Fengtian, which is the safest place now. " Sun Nanfeng will be responsible for clearing all the work here. The surveillance work is ready for action at any time. At the same time, additional manpower must be secretly assigned to protect the key figures who need to be protected. A hotel in front of the train station has been prepared and announced to the outside world that it will be renovated and closed. The troops we need will live there first. Once the people who need protection are moved out, let them go there first. Once the situation changes, they can be transported to other places by train immediately. The driver class of Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi will be immediately strengthened. When the vehicle is being maintained, the Queen Mother and others will be the objects of "protection" and may also be the objects that need to be "cleared". In addition, the training of new weapons continues to be intensified, that is, those 18972 type twenty-shot pistols and such a repeating weapon can be used as one against ten. Some of these geniuses can now break wires at five hundred meters. Whoever said it doesn't work is just that the method is wrong. They started moving overnight. A special train set off from Beijing. Their destination was Fengtian. They had already informed the railway about the line problem. On the railway in Guanli, they reached 45 kilometers, but outside the customs they could only travel more than 30 kilometers. There were only Sheng Xuanhuai, Feng Yinqing and others in the car, as well as their security personnel. Looking out of the car window from a distance, it is dark outside. Sheng Xuanhuai knows that the whole country will soon be bright. If they seize this opportunity, they will light up the whole of China like lightning without making too many sacrifices. It was daybreak after the train had been traveling for several hours. Looking out from the train window, the vast farmland is receding. Now the country has undergone great changes. It used to be that there were only large fields of crops everywhere. Now there are many factories. The train made a short stop in Tangshan to replenish coal. The people in Heshui also had a simple meal and the train started heading north again. They arrived at Fengtian in the afternoon. Since they had notified Li Zhenhua in advance, Captain Sun Feihu personally came to the station to pick them up. In the car, Feng Yingqing simply explained the situation to He made an introduction. After arriving at Li Zhenhua's residence, Xu Shichang, Feng Guozhang, Sun Wen, Duan Qirui and others were already waiting there. Feng Yingqing gave everyone a formal report on the current situation in Beijing and the "Lightning Action" formulated in Beijing. The plan was also reported to everyone. After listening to their report, Li Zhenhua calmly said to everyone: "Let everyone speak. Tell us what you think and think about their plan. Let's discuss it together." These people under Li Zhenhua don't just eat for free. In the future, there will be several people at the presidential level, such as Sun Wen, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, (only Duan Qirui has not been president, but he is the prime minister who can control several presidents). These are all presidents of the Republic of China. They all have their own ideas about the current situation in their hearts, but they are now Li Zhenhua's capable men. They can all see the situation clearly. Of course, Li Zhenhua knows the original history more clearly. After thinking about it, Sun Wen Said: "The situation is very favorable to us. Even if they don't, we have to create opportunities to overthrow this decadent government. Now that the opportunity comes, we must seize this opportunity to act." Xu Shichang said: "What we are doing now is for the benefit of this country. Being strong means that more people can truly become rich. But if we don¡¯t have a political power in hand, our actions will always encounter resistance of one kind or another. Just like what we are doing in the three northeastern provinces, Fangcheng, and Dongying There is not much resistance. Everyone is focused on construction, but if this matter is placed elsewhere, it will not work. "As the chief of the general staff, Feng Guozhang said: "Everyone, I agree with Beijing's lightning plan. At this step, we should take our own actions. This is an opportunity. If we do not seize it well, we will lose such a good opportunity. If we take action again in the future, we will pay more and the people will suffer greater bloodshed and sacrifices. " "Several people. Li Zhenhua expressed his stance after careful consideration. He knew that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the changes in Beijing to eliminate the reactionary forces of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. He had been disgusted with the Manchu and Qing government for many years and was determined to overthrow this government. Now is the time. When it comes, you must catch it. Text Chapter 388 Preparing to Seize Power Main text Chapter 388 Preparing to seize power Chapter 388 Preparing to seize power Chapter 388 Preparing to seize power Li Zhenhua knew that those reformers in Beijing were not bent on making this country truly strong. Their purpose was to create a country headed by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. They are a constitutional monarchy. They are not trying to establish a country where the people are truly the masters of the country. To put it bluntly, they are still maintaining the current Qing government. Now their actions are unlikely to succeed. Their actions can only make some people sacrifice in vain, which is unfortunate. It was the ordinary people who, to put it bluntly, continued to maintain the rule of the Manchu and Qing government by changing the situation without changing the situation. So Li Zhenhua stood up and said to everyone: "Okay, I agree with everyone's opinion. We are going to use their relationship to overthrow this corrupt and backward Qing government. Next, we will further improve this plan." Seeing Li Zhenhua agree. After hearing everyone's opinions, everyone is very happy. Everyone is willing to be a founding hero who has made great contributions. So the plan of "Operation Lightning" was further improved: First, Sun Nanfeng was notified that he could now promise to give Yuan Shikai some support, but he could not let him obtain high-power weapons. He could only provide some single-shot rifles so that the careerist could confidently and boldly act with a thousand-man army. Troops dispatched from Tianjin to Beijing must ensure that the dispatched troops cannot get out of control. The main force of the First Infantry Division secretly entered the pass and arrived at Pinggu and Miyun in the northeastern region of Beijing. They were on standby to deal with possible changes. The border troops in the northeastern region entered first-level combat readiness to prevent Russia. In the event of an invasion by the Russian army, the relevant troops responsible for taking over the territory should pay close attention to the movements of the Russian army to prevent them from taking the opportunity to attack. Immediately begin to set up a telephone line from Fengtian to Beijing to facilitate communication with Beijing. Now, first connect the dedicated telephone line on the railway. Go to the headquarters and send an additional passenger train to Beijing to be on standby at Beijing Station to pick up people who need to be evacuated. The armored trains must be grouped separately to protect the hotel at the station and provide fire support to some necessary places, but now they need to be covered with tarpaulins. It made people think that it was just a few trucks. He further considered the list of people who needed to be eliminated and those who needed to be protected. Li Zhenhua did not make any major changes to the conservative royal relatives who needed to be eliminated, but he did not make any major changes in the list of people who needed to be protected. Among them, Li Zhenhua added Li Hongzhang, Weng Tonghe and those foreign ministers to China. People were a little confused and Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "Everyone should know a little about Li Zhongtang. He spent his own money to support this country. He has spent countless energy and efforts to make our country stronger. As a representative of the Westernization faction, we should support him. da8 Rapid Update Some people say that he is a traitor, but I don¡¯t think so. He has signed many contracts with foreigners. "But everyone knows that if there is no such intention, can he sign it?" "There are also many people who don't like Weng Tonghe, including me, but don't we have the stomach to tolerate him?" It would not be a bad thing if we have someone who is in the opposition and often gives us a ring in our ears. This will save us from making a lot of mistakes. " "As for those foreign envoys, one is to protect them and the other is to use them to leave. Beijing keeps them confused about the development of the matter, and it also makes it inconvenient for them to communicate with the country to prevent foreign powers from taking the opportunity to interfere with us. "After listening to Li Zhenhua's explanation, those people became frank about Li Zhenhua's mind and ignored past suspicions. People were convinced that it would not be wrong to follow such a leader and they all agreed with him. So people from all walks of life began to take action, and the troops were mobilized frequently, but ordinary people could not see it because the overall principle was "loose on the outside and tight on the inside". On the border with Russia, the troops also slowed down the pace of regaining lost ground. The Chinese naval fleet is already stationed at the port of Vladivostok. According to the provisions of the treaty, they will hand over the port they have occupied for many years in five years. The current Russian Pacific Fleet also has one battleship, which is a 10,000-ton seven thousand Although the two 5,000-ton cruisers, one 4,000-ton cruiser, and two 4,000-ton cruisers are not new warships, they are much shorter than the Varyag in later generations, and we can use them ourselves. These navy officers are really thinking about it. They are already thinking about the Russian warships. Li Zhenhua received the telegram from the navy. According to the order of the headquarters, they have sent two warships to Sakhalin Island to receive it. Li Zhenhua knew that the area of ??Sakhalin Island was larger than that of Taiwan, and there were many mineral deposits on it. Now that it was taken back, it would become a piece of Chinese territory. The return of Sakhalin is not only economical, but it can also directly control Japan's Hokkaido. Later, if we find a way to gain access to Hokkaido, we will further weaken Japan's power.Based on this amount, it seems that its benefits are long-term. These days, Li Zhenhua is mainly paying attention to the situation in Beijing. Emperor Guangxu seems to be going crazy and is sending out metaphors, sometimes several times a day. However, the officials below cannot adapt to his morbid mentality at all. Before the new imperial edict was implemented, nng came again. They were at a loss. Here, they were relatively loyal to his officials. Some officials simply ignored him. However, if you ignored him, he found this day again. Li Zhenhua read from the imperial newspaper that they wanted to merge government offices and abolish Zhanshifu, General Administration Department, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Dali Temple and other government offices in other provinces and abolish Huguang, Guangdong, The governors of the three provinces of Yunnan (these three places seem to have both governors and governors, so they think they are redundant.) Although the court established these ministries to have their official jobs, they were just to raise a bunch of idlers. The Manchu dignitaries, relatives of the emperor, had no place to eat, so they became popular. They went to the Empress Dowager Cixi to cry and make trouble. As a result, the Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied. She thought it was nonsense. But she still tolerated this dissatisfaction. However, just when Li Zhenhua felt that there were few people everywhere in his own territory, Kang Youwei in Beijing made another big joke: Please listen to Kang Youwei's discussion: "The Chinese have been full of people for a long time, and the United States and Australia have banned our people from traveling and forced them to travel all over the world. The only people who can colonize our country are Brazil, whose longitude and latitude are close to ours. Thousands of people from the Amazon River pass through Rao Yanwo. If our people move there, they can become a new China. "Kang Youwei: "Kang Nanhai's Autonomous Chronicle" and "The Reform Movement of 1898". "(Four). Text Chapter 389: Warning in a prosperous age Text Chapter 389 Warning words in the prosperous age Chapter 389 Warning words in the prosperous age Chapter 389 Warning words in the prosperous age Kang Youwei thought of everything but one question: would the Brazilian government be willing to accept Chinese people like us with black hair and dark eyes? Was there something wrong with the spirit of the elites of the Qing Empire in those days? Kang Youwei really went to see Li Hongzhang, the minister of the Prime Minister's Office, specifically for this important matter. At least he knew that diplomatic matters involved the assistance of senior diplomats. After hearing this suggestion, Li Hongzhang actually calmly and peacefully agreed and said that this matter needed to be discussed with the Brazilian Minister. Currently, the Minister is still in Brazil waiting for him to come to China and we will discuss it with them. As for when the Brazilian minister came to China, we still don¡¯t know. Li Hongzhang politely sent Kang Youwei out. This made Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang and others really laugh out loud. This Kang Youwei is too capable, right? And that Li Hongzhang, you are too talented and sent Kang Youwei away without any nonsense. What will you do if he comes to you to continue studying immigration issues? Feng Guozhang said: "Kang Youwei doesn't know that we are worried about immigration issues now. He wants to send all Chinese people to America." However, there is one piece of information that interests Li Zhenhua, that is, in The towns that were famous for publishing newspapers in those short and bustling days included Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Changsha, Guilin, Macao, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Hangzhou. Beijing is the capital of the empire and has a strong official atmosphere. There are few reformist newspapers. Only "China and Foreign Journals" and "Guan Shu Bureau Report" are more famous, and these two newspapers are actually the names used by the same newspaper one after another. "China and Foreign Journals" was founded by Kang Youwei as a double-daily newspaper. In addition to selected articles from other newspapers, the articles in the newspaper are basically written by the great genius Liang Qichao: "Theory of All Nations on the Earth", "Examination of Trade Situation", "Regional Military System of All Nations", "Examination of Mining Affairs of All Nations", " "Railway Trade Theory", "Railway Engineering Theory", "Share Farming and Farming", "A Brief Theory of Agriculture", "A Brief Theory of Agricultural Instruments", "A Theory of Casting Silver", "A Study of the Military System of the Western Kingdom", "A Study of the Newspaper Library" "China and Foreign Affairs Chronicle" was closed down by the imperial government 35 days after it was first published. The reason why it was banned is simple: it is not an ordinary newspaper, it is the "organ" of a political group. But they immediately put a new label on it, "Guan Shu Bureau Report." Li Zhenhua is very interested in this. Liang Qichao is a talented man and must find ways to use him in the future. Xu Shichang said to Li Zhenhua: "Do you know why Liang Qichao only writes articles and cannot go to the front desk to make noise with them?" Li Zhenhua said: "What's going on? "What happened?" Xu Shichang said: "You have also seen this great talent Liang Qichao. He only speaks in Cantonese. Emperor Guangxu once summoned him. His words were difficult for Emperor Guangxu to understand, so he did not use him. So he had to use all his strength. Come and write an article." It would be too sad for Li Zhenhua to think that he would no longer be needed just because of this. Yuan Shikai, who was in Beijing at this time, had already received the support of the New Army. The Beijing Intelligence Office had prepared a batch of guns and ammunition, which were all new weapons for fighting the Russian army. At his request, Yuan Shikai was dispatched from Tianjin (actually Dongying). Thousands of soldiers joined his Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion is an important guard force of the Forbidden City and is responsible for guarding the palace. Every day, 1 leader of the Shenji Battalion and 1 battalion commander each led 10 soldiers to guard the rooms in the palace. Four team officers each led 20 troops and were stationed at the four corners of the palace on duty. There are a total of 10 shifts of the above-mentioned officers and soldiers. A total of 810 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion outside the walls of Yuyuan Sanhai, together with the spearmen, skilled warriors and warriors from each battalion of the Eight Banners, took turns to be on duty. They were divided into 10 shifts and were replaced every day. When on duty, there were also transfers and dispatches. So the safety of the palace now depends on Yuan Shikai. Seeing that the equipment of the Shenji Battalion has been changed, Yuan Shikai said that these are the weapons of Li Zhenhua's troops. In addition, there are also Li Zhenhua's soldiers among these people. This made Emperor Guangxu very happy and happy. He made a wish and became an official. Yuan Shikai was also determined to help the reformists carry out the reform movement. However, Weng Tonghe, who was the emperor's teacher for two generations, could not stand people like Yuan Shikai. He reminded the emperor to stay away from villains. This made Yuan Shikai know. He began to secretly hate Weng Tonghe. He decided that as long as there was a chance, he would definitely kill him. Except because this is a roadblock for him to climb up in the future. As the leader of the reformists, Kang Youwei had no doubts about Yuan Shikai. He believed that Yuan Shikai was a capable man. He had a good way of governing the country's national affairs in North Korea during those years. Besides, he only had this army that could listen to him. It would be impossible not to rely on him. . But Yuan Shikai was not interested in Kang Youwei because his ambition was too great. He wanted to squeeze out everyone else so that only he could be favored. When the reform and reform were successful, he would be the biggest contributor. His calculations are pretty good, but I don't know what the situation and development will be like. On this day, Li Zhenhua received a message sent by Sheng Xuanhuai.?He felt a little confused about this book. When he opened it, it turned out to be a book called "Warnings in the Prosperous Age". He had already known it when he was young, but he had forgotten who the author was. Anyway, he was waiting for time, so he opened it and started reading. The theme of "Save the Nation by Prosperity and Strength" runs through the book "Warning Statements in the Prosperous Age" from beginning to end. It puts forward practical plans for reforms in politics, economy, military, diplomacy, culture and other aspects, which is equivalent to giving the late Qing government a good way to save the country from danger. Yo. "Those who are good for officials use pressure to exploit the people, and those who are good for outsiders use official power to oppress the people." Zheng Guanying, who strongly advocated the rapid implementation of a constitutional monarchy, said angrily in response to the Qing government's stubborn and tough attitude on this issue and the results of the implementation of constitutional monarchy in Britain and Japan. : "You still say that the parliament is not feasible? And you still say that China is not urgent enough to do it?" He also advocated giving the parliament the power to "acquire the program of the common people's government." In order to implement the constitutional monarchy smoothly, Zheng Guanying also put forward a series of supporting internal affairs reform proposals, such as publishing newspapers widely so that the lower levels could reach the upper levels and play a role in public opinion supervision of officials, large and small, so as to encourage good and punish evil, promote good and eliminate bad. It advocates reforming the official selection system. Officials should be elected by the people, eliminating redundant personnel and replacing old ones with talents. "Recruit famous teachers to open art schools widely." He believes that in order for the country to be strong, it must attach great importance to the development of Western learning. Education should focus on the cultivation of new talents who master Western astronomy, geography, and humanities. He said that following the rules of national education in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, it has the effect of becoming rich and strong. In the school, "the art academy has more books and materials." Preparation will make the country stronger and stronger." It advocates vigorously translating Western books, reforming the imperial examination, adding new subject catalogs such as Gizhi, electronics, medicine, etc., and using talents who are proficient in Western learning. Text Chapter 390 Zheng Guanying Text Chapter 390 Zheng Guanying Chapter 390 Zheng Guanying Chapter 390 Zheng Guanying In terms of economics, Zheng Guanying put forward the famous "Business War" theory. He believed that the purpose of the Western powers' invasion of China was to turn China into their "place of drawing materials and a place to make profits" and therefore used "military warfare" and "commercial warfare" to deal with China, and commercial warfare was more subtle than military warfare. The so-called "the annexation of soldiers is a disaster for people, but the annexation of merchants can invisibly destroy the country." It is advocated that "Westerners use business as a means of war against others. Since we use business to come, we should also use business to go out." Since "if my business fails to thrive, so will his greed and conspiracy." Only by building a country based on business and using industry to support business, "there is no better way to control Westerners than to revitalize business for self-improvement." Li Zhenhua read the book carefully and felt that Zheng Guanying was really not simple. In this era of problems, he was able to raise issues that people in this era could not think of. This is really a miracle. He also recalled the evaluation of him in the textbooks when he was in school: "Zheng Guanying was an early bourgeois reformist thinker and patriotic national industrialist and businessman in modern China. He was from Xiangshan, Guangdong (today's Zhongshan City). He once served as the British businessman Baoshun Foreign Company, Taikoo After being compradorized by the steamship company, he held senior positions in Shanghai Machine Weaving Layout, Shanghai Telegraph Bureau, Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau, Hanyang Iron Works and Commercial Guangdong-Han Railway Company, and invested in and established many trade, finance, shipping, industrial and mining enterprises. The comprador was transformed into a representative figure of the national bourgeoisie. His main work "Warnings in the Shengshi" had a great influence on the Chinese ideological circles. "Li Zhenhua continued to read and quoted some other people from Zheng Guanying's book. Some opinions: Zhang Zhidong, the main figure of the Westernization Movement, commented after reading "Warnings in the Prosperous Age": "Although there are many books on current affairs, they are not as detailed as this book's overall overall situation." "It can be said that it is used to assist the world. When the book came out, it shocked the government and the public, and people from all walks of life rushed to read it. There was an endless stream of people asking for the book, so that it was not enough to print it again and again, and it was not enough for examinations. Use the current affairs discussed in the book as the title. Sun Jianai, the Minister of Rites, recommended the book to Emperor Guangxu for reading. Bi Jia sighed and ordered the Prime Minister Yamn to engrave two thousand copies of the book and distribute it to the ministers for reading. The thoughts of this book completely influenced the ideological circles at that time and refreshed people's thinking. (This book also greatly influenced the thinking of later generations, such as Kang Youwei and Sun Yat-sen, who were greatly influenced by this book and often warned in their youth). The following is part of Zheng Guanying's life experience compiled by mn of the Ministry of Intelligence: In the 60th year of Guangxu's reign, he compiled and published the book "Yi Yan" that reflected his reformist thoughts. The book put forward a series of internal affairs reform measures centered on national wealth. Western learning organizations translated books about Western countries' prosperity and military strength and spread them widely throughout the world so that everyone could learn from them. He also advocated the use of machine production to accelerate the development of industry and commerce, encourage businessmen and civilians to invest in industry, and encourage private mining, shipbuilding, and railways. He expressed strong dissatisfaction with the unequal tariff policy of Chinese and foreign merchants and advocated a protective xng tariff policy of "my country's owners light tax to widen the way out, and my country's owners have heavy tax to curb the source". In "Yi Yan", Zheng Guanying also vigorously promoted the Western parliamentary system and advocated that China should implement changes in the political system and implement a constitutional monarchy. Li Hongzhang promoted Zheng Guanying to the general office of the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau. Peng Yilin and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, planned to attack Saigon (today's Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), where the French army's grain and grass were stored. Zheng Guanying was sent to Saigon, Vietnam, Phnom Penh, Cambodia and other places to spy on the enemy and seek to contact people from all over Southeast Asia to attack the French army. Shortly after returning to Guangzhou, the French fleet attacked Taiwan. Zheng Guanying proposed a decisive battle with the French army and formulated seven operational recommendations. After being appointed to handle the matter of aiding Taiwan, Zheng Guanying immediately went to Hong Kong to charter a ship to transport troops, grain, grass and ammunition to Taiwan. Seeing this, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but said: "This man is so good that he can actually be a scout. He even risked his life for the sake of the country." In March 91, the 17th year of Guangxu's reign, Zheng Guanying asked Sheng Xuanhuai to recommend him after he had been dormant for a long time. Li Hongzhang was appointed as the General Office of Kaiping Coal Mine Guangdong Bureau to purchase land, build factories and fill in the wharf. The next year, Li Hongzhang again appointed him as the assistant manager of China Merchants Group to rectify the sluggish China Merchants Group. When China Merchants Group entered the market, Zheng Guanying immediately signed another flat-price contract with its largest competitors, Swire and Jardine Matheson. He also drafted the "Ten Measures for Rectifying the China Merchants Bureau" and then wrote the "Beiyang Minister Li Fuxiang Reported the Situation of the China Merchants Bureau and Rectified the China Merchants Bureau" with 14 items, which involved increasing revenue, reducing expenditures, and specific business strategies. 1993) Zheng Guanying inspected the mouths of the Yangtze River incognito to learn about the pros and cons of each branch. After investigating the operating conditions of Yihe and Taikoo in various places, he inspected branches in Shantou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Zhejiang, and Tianjin. On the eve of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, Zheng Guanying wrote to the court saying that the Japanese would launch a sneak attack on the Qing army. After the war, he wrote many times to be on guard against Japanese spies, and took measures such as not allowing the Japanese to use telegraph codes to report the situation of the Japanese army's ordnance transportation. It was decided to divert some of the ships of the China Merchants Bureau It is used by the military to transport personnel or weapons. Li Zhenhua added: "This Zheng Guanying is much better than me. He canI haven¡¯t finished watching the Yangtze River Water Channel yet. When I have time, I will also watch the Yangtze River Water Channel again. I really want to learn from him in this regard. " In May of the 22nd year of Guangxu (96), Zhang Zhidong appointed Zheng Guanying as the general manager of the Hanyang Iron Works. In January of the following year, he also served as the general director of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway. In May, the assistant office of the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau was changed to joint management. Li Zhenhua put these together After reading it, he thought, this is a talent, definitely a real talent. In modern people's words, it is called "the combination of theory and practice." Ask for advice in person. " After a while, Sheng Xuanhuai's call back arrived: "Mr. Zheng Guanying has gone to Fengtian and you haven't seen this person yet? " Li Zhenhua smiled. He knew that Zheng Guanying wanted to see the situation here with his own eyes. We are also Lao Wang who sells his own melons and boasts. In these years, he has never seen anyone say anything bad about him. If he talks too much, others will inevitably become suspicious. He sees It looks good. Let him find some troubles for himself. It's not a bad thing to make more improvements in the future. Li Zhenhua immediately arranged for them to find Zheng Guanying and invite him back. Don't let him wander around by himself. If something happens. Oh no. Text Chapter 391 The Discovery of the Intelligence Newcomer Text Chapter 391 The discovery of the new intelligence officer Chapter 391 The discovery of the new intelligence officer Chapter 391 The discovery of the new intelligence officer It shouldn¡¯t be easy to find Zheng Guanying in Fengtian now, where new people are everywhere, but for a maverick like Zheng Guanying People are easy to find. No matter where he goes, he will stay with people to learn about industry, agriculture, technology, etc. The more he asks people, the more people begin to suspect that he is not a spy of that country. When people When looking for him, someone had already targeted him. A girl from the Intelligence Department was resting in a small teahouse. She had been walking on the street for a while. After several months of training, her performance was among the best in all aspects. She has now been assigned to a unit of the Intelligence Department mn to work as an internal support officer. His job is mainly to conduct intelligence analysis. Her name is Liu Qing. Today Liu Qing took leave to go out and buy some things for girls to use. Since she has developed some professional habits, she likes to observe the performances of various characters. After watching for a while, there was a person whose behavior made her suspicious. It was an old man in his fifties, which caught her attention. From the appearance, she was not sure what he did. He didn't look like an official, a businessman, or a worker. This was the farmer's point that made her suspicious of this person. Normally, when a person walks on the street alone, she can tell what this person does at a glance. However, because of his abnormality, this "intelligence newcomer" who just left school mn. "Aroused interest. This person is Zheng Guanying, who came to Fengtian alone for inspection. Zheng Guanying has presided over various enterprises for many senior officials, such as Li Hongzhang's Shanghai Steamship Investment Company, Zhang Zhiding's Hankou Iron Works, etc. He naturally has his own views on enterprises. He came to Fengtian. He would go to the street to take a look in the future. He had heard a lot about the situation in Fengtian, but he thought he had to take a look for himself. When Zheng Guanying saw people who looked like workers on the street, he would talk to them and learn about the workers' lives and work. In short, the situation he saw was relatively good. He had been to many big cities, but like Fengtian, people's lives were affluent. And people's mental outlook is the best in the country, which can be seen from people's facial expressions. In the teahouse, he also heard that people were very satisfied with the policies currently being implemented. Especially for their top leader Li Zhenhua, there is nothing to say. People already regard him as a god-like person. He has also heard that some people have enshrined him as a god and let him protect the common people. It is not easy. life. After a long period of observation, Liu Qing was even more puzzled. She saw that he had not engaged in any sabotage activities, so she did not arrest him. Liu Qing also saw that he was alone and had no other helpers. He had no problem catching him with his own skills. At night, Liu Qing should have gone back, but the man still had no intention of going back. Liu Qing estimated the time and decided to take the man back to inquire about his situation. After all, he was too suspicious. So he walked up to the old man and said to him: "Old man, are you looking for someone?" When Zheng Guanying saw that it was a little girl, he thought the little girl was a little strange, so he teased her and said, "Yes, I am looking for someone." "My daughter is missing. Did you see her?" "Zheng Guanying's joke made Liu Qing immediately alert. He hadn't asked anyone about his daughter all day. Why did he make up such a story when I asked him? There must be something wrong with this man, so he said to Zheng Guanying: "Okay, then you come with me and I will help you find your daughter." Zheng Guanying immediately rejected Liu Qing's proposal: "No, girl, I want to go back. I went to the hotel. "What's the matter? First you said you were looking for your daughter. Now when I take you away, you say it's not okay to go back to the hotel. So the girl said to her: "Just delay and come with me. We will help you soon." Zheng Guanying has been in the world for a long time. He knew that he had met someone from the government. He knew that he could not use force with the girl at this time, so he said to the girl: "Girl, let it go. It's okay for me to go with you, but I have to know what you do." Liu Qing said to him, "I'm from the Fengtian Garrison Staff Office, not far ahead." "Okay, then I'll follow. You go." Zheng Guanying agreed readily and walked back with Liu Qing. But several soldiers in front of them blocked them. A young officer asked Zheng Guanying respectfully: "Excuse me, sir, your surname is Zheng?" Why do people always want to cause trouble for me if I am a genius for less than a day? But when people asked, it was hard not to answer, so he said, "What's wrong? My surname is Zheng." "That's great, Mr. Zheng, our chief would like to ask you to come." "Your chief? Who is that?" ¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when you¡¯re here, sir, please¡± The girl next to them while they were talking here was unhappy: "What are you doing? How did you take my people away?" Several soldiers then noticed that there was a pretty girl standing next to Zheng Guanying. Over there, it looks like she's having a hard time with this, but she's just a woman and no one is ready to do anything to her. "We are here to pick up people. Why are we now yours?" A soldier asked. ¡°If I see the person first, then I have to take him away first.¡± The girl didn¡¯t speak politely at all. Several soldiers looked confused and immediately said: "Who did you see first? Are you responsible for the delay?" When the girl saw it, she immediately opened her stance and prepared to fight: "If you want to take the person away first, Pass me." Several people were about to start a fight. An officer came over. He was Li Zhenhua's guard battalion commander Sun Feihu. When he saw that people were about to take action, he stopped his soldiers and the girl relaxed. "What's going on?" Sun Feihu asked. "Battal Commander, we happened to pick up Mr. Zheng. The leader is waiting to see him, but this girl won't let us take him back." Sun Feihu looked at Liu Qing, meaning to ask her what was going on. Liu Qing immediately said: "This He's very suspicious. I've been following him for a long time. It's not okay to take him away as soon as your soldiers come over." When Sun Feihu saw that there was a misunderstanding, he asked her, "Which unit are you from?" The girl immediately said: " "I'm from the Fifth Staff." This is the public name of the Intelligence Department. Sun Feihu said to her: "Well, we are from the General Headquarters. I am the guard battalion commander. My name is Sun Feihu. This place is closer to our place, so please come with us to the General Headquarters first. Okay. After meeting the Commander-in-Chief, You take people away again.¡± Text Chapter 392 Taxation and Customs Text Chapter 392 Taxation and Customs Chapter 392 Taxation and Customs Chapter 392 Taxation and Customs When Liu Qing saw that they had already told the Commander-in-Chief, he had no choice but to agree to go with them. , Fighting Zheng Guanying looked at all this and felt that these soldiers were still very civilized. If the soldiers of the Qing army encountered this situation, they would either have a fight or the powerful party would reprimand the other party. But they negotiated and settled the matter very well. But what would this gang of people do to the girl? He began to worry about the girl again. Arriving at the mn of the headquarters, Zheng Guanying saw that a young soldier was already standing in front of the mn. Sun Feihu ran forward and saluted him and said, "Report to the commander, Mr. Zheng, who has invited this person." He turned around and pointed at Zheng Guanying. Li Zhenhua immediately came down from the steps, walked to Zheng Guanying, clasped his hands and said to him: "I am Mr. Li Zhenhua Jiuyang, please come in." After saying this, he moved his body to the side to make way for Zheng Guanying, and made an invitation with his right hand. The left hand of the gesture was already supporting Zheng Guanying's arm. Why did Zheng Guanying and Liu Qing startle when he announced his name? It turns out that this is the world-famous Li Zhenhua. Zheng Guanying immediately said: "The general is famous all over the world. I am just a scholar. How dare I bother the general to come out to greet him." When Li Zhenhua saw that there was a girl next to him, he said to her: "Girl, please come in too." This made Liu Qing on the side turn red all of a sudden, thinking that he was the Commander-in-Chief's guest. What should I do if he is a bad person? The guards and soldiers next to them secretly laughed while Sun Feihu glared at them before the boys became serious. This made the girl feel very fond of Sun Feihu and she couldn't help but have a good impression of him. Several people entered the room. Li Zhenhua had already prepared the food. Li Zhenhua didn't like drinking, but he had to prepare it when guests came. The two of them sat down, but Liu Qing on one side didn't dare to sit down. Li Zhenhua asked what was going on. Liu Qing told what happened. Li Zhenhua laughed and said, "You helped me protect Mr. Zheng today, and you should too." If you are tired, let's have dinner together." Liu Qing said, "The chief has something to discuss with my husband, so I won't be here." Li Zhenhua immediately said to Sun Feihu on the side, "Then you can entertain her. Don't let the girl eat." "Sorry, don't feel wronged. Did she hear that?" "Yes." Sun Feihu agreed and led the girl out. Li Zhenhua¡¯s move later led to a beautiful marriage, and Sun Feihu and Liu Qing became a couple. In the evening at Li Zhenhua's residence, Li Zhenhua and Zheng Guanying said: "Sir, we did not receive any reception when he came to Fengtian for a visit. This is really disrespectful to our distinguished guest." Zheng Guanying immediately said: "It's not my fault, general. I came to Fengtian just to see what is going on here, but I didn't expect this place." It's much better than I imagined." "Where? Where?" Li Zhenhua said, "Please give me some advice." "I dare not give you advice. The companies here are much better than those run by Zheng. "The difference between the things I do and the enterprises run by the general cannot be ignored." The two of them had endless things to talk about when they were together, from domestic to foreign countries, from politics to economics. Zheng Guanying thought, "Politics." Without improvement, it will be difficult for industry to prosper." Li Zhenhua knows this very well. The main reason why domestic enterprises cannot survive is the problem of the political system. They also talked about the tax issue from the financial aspect. Zheng Guanying said: We should "abolish the doubling of tariffs." Our companies are taxed unequally in competition with foreign companies. Years of business activities made Zheng Guanying gradually realize that the inequality in taxation between local goods and foreign goods had a great impact on the success of business wars. Foreign goods can be "shipped all over the world" after paying only customs duties and half tax, while Chinese goods have to pay a cent fee after paying taxes. The cost of Chinese goods is much higher than that of foreign goods, making it difficult for Chinese goods to compete with foreign goods in the market. In order to strengthen the competitiveness of national industrial and commercial products, the proposal of "abolition of the doubling of tariffs" was put forward so that Chinese and foreign goods would have the same tax. Secondly, customs rights must be recovered. Most of the people who hold important positions in the customs are foreigners. They protect foreign merchants and make things difficult for Chinese merchants. All of these made modern enterprises everywhere subject to the bureaucracy of the Qing government. How can the newly born modern national industry and commerce survive in such a harsh business environment as tax inequality, competition and oppression from foreign businessmen, and customs discrimination and favoritism? The cost of Chinese goods is much higher than that of foreign goods, making it difficult to compete with foreign goods in the market. This is not the first time that someone has talked to Li Zhenhua about customs issues, but it is the first time that he has talked about it so thoroughly. This problem must be solved. He turned out?Most of the goods exported are goods that foreigners are short of. In other words, they are begging us. They have to offer discounts in many places and most of their own goods are sold in coastal areas. Others do not dare to ask more, but ordinary people The product will not work. In the competition, the cost will definitely be higher than others. The price advantage will definitely be lost. Li Zhenhua thought, yes, China's customs has been controlled by them for forty years. It's time for us to take them back. This day will not be too long. Li Zhenhua then began to ask Zheng Guanying about the most ferocious "reform reform" currently happening in Beijing. Zheng Guanying said to Li Zhenhua: "In essence, the approach they proposed should be correct, but the approach of these people is inappropriate. It is impossible for them to solve the problems that have been left over for thousands of years in China in a few days. And let¡¯s not talk about Mr. Kang Nanhai¡¯s methods.¡± Zheng Guanying stopped talking. It seemed that he was worried about Kang Youwei and the others. I also disagree with the practice. Kang Youwei and others regarded some Westernizers as conservatives, so they couldn't distinguish the general trend. Chinese Westernizers were all people who were brave in innovation in Chinese history. But in their eyes, they all became conservatives. So they Who else can I work with? It would be ridiculous to try to enact reforms with just the few people they have. Li Zhenhua feels that Zheng Guanying is a real talent, so how to use it is a problem. He has performed very well in many companies, but there are not many people who have such insights on customs issues. So it is better to ask him to deal with customs issues first. It should be the best way to do some research on it and then ask him to manage China's new customs when you set up a new customs. Text Chapter 393 The Sixth Hall Official Incident Text Chapter 393 The Sixth Hall Official Incident Chapter 393 The Sixth Hall Official Incident Chapter 393 The Sixth Hall Official Incident So Li Zhenhua told Zheng Guanying what he meant and asked for his opinion. Zheng Guanying thought about it and said to Li Zhenhua: "As for the customs, I I know something about it but not comprehensively. I am also familiar with Hurd from the General Taxation Department, so I will continue to work with him to learn more about the work of the customs." Li Zhenhua said when he saw Zheng Guanying agreeing to his request. He also talked about some of his own ideas. First, we need to master their management methods and work processes, and then we need to find ways to establish our own set of management methods. We must retain the good areas that are not good for us and resolutely change them. In the future, we must establish our own At the same time, the customs also needs to analyze the domestic tax situation and how to implement it in the future. The "lijin" system currently implemented by the Qing government is inappropriate. How to improve this tax policy in the future, please consider carefully. Zheng Guanying agreed to these requests of Li Zhenhua. Zheng Guanying had already taken over Sheng Xuanhuai when he was in Beijing. He knew Li Zhenhua's future plans and Zheng Guanying had no problem working for a strong country. He was determined to dedicate the rest of his life to this man. The young general's career was ruined. At this time, he also raised a question that Li Zhenhua had not thought of before. If something happens to Beijing, the customs in Beijing must be protected, especially the personnel, account books, etc., so that no loss can be caused. If there is less, it will be very serious for us. unfavorable. d This is something that Li Zhenhua had not thought of. Li Zhenhua promised to do it immediately and must protect these things. Correspondingly, some banks, bank accounts, etc. should also be notified to protect themselves. If they are unable to do so, the Ministry of Intelligence can also protect them. We should also protect some things in the palace that can be protected. Don't let some ambitious people ruin everything. If you do, you will become a sinner through the ages. After finishing the conversation with Zheng Guanying, Li Zhenhua immediately called the intelligence office in Beijing and asked them to prepare for contingency at the customs and banks in Beijing and asked them to notify some of the larger ticket companies in Shanxi so that they could prepare for contingency themselves. You can also help them if they are not strong enough. It is only your own people at the customs who must be prepared to do protective work, but you cannot disclose information to them. The Ministry of Internal Affairs in the palace must also closely monitor and protect it. Once there is a change, it must be protected in time. If some people want to smuggle money from the palace, then they can kill their country's money without mercy. Don't even think about getting it into the pockets of the SI, especially the conservatives and reformers. At the same time, he decided to go to Tianjin or Langfang to command the nearby division. A regiment of guard troops was left for him. In addition, more troops entering the pass would be added to prevent accidents. Yuan Shikai, who was in Beijing at this time, was in his prime. This was the most desired thing for an ambitious man. He could see Emperor Guangxu every day. Although the emperor was not particularly concerned about his existence, he knew that the conservatives would not continue like this. Kang Youwei is not willing to go on like this. He will definitely come up with something when the time comes, and then he can show his talents based on his experience in North Korea. Those friends in the New Army are not bad. The Sun Nanfeng they introduced is indeed a responsible person. He gave himself a large number of light weapons. Unfortunately, he did not have cannons (cannons cannot be given). Li Zhenhua will never give cannons to such an ambitious man. Once it was in his hands, he would not dare to bombard the Forbidden City). At the same time, he also sent two battalions of men to him. The two people who led them were called battalion commanders. One was named Wang Gang and the other was named Zhang Zhong. Each of them was bribed with 10,000 taels of silver. Now let him No matter what they do, they have nothing to say. These two people are both from Fangcheng. They have followed Li Zhenhua for many years. They have been in battle many times and they are all good at it. Let¡¯s talk about their pistols. I have also shot them before, but they can¡¯t hit even twenty meters. But they If it was between 100 and 200 meters, he would fight wherever he went, but he was a bit greedy for money and fond of drinking. Yuan Shikai knew that only such a person could be easily controlled by himself, so he did not stop giving benefits to the two of them. He asked Zhang Zhong to guard the inner palace and Wang Gang to stay outside. The people they brought were also separated. At first they were not willing, but when Yuan Shikai gave them some money, they all agreed happily. Yuan Shikai smiled in his heart. "Money can still make the world go round." It turns out that no matter how loyal you are to Li Zhenhua, you will be defeated in front of my money, right? Yuan Shikai now hopes that the "reformers" and "conservatives" will fight quickly so that he can get real benefits. Wang Xin from Persia has another letter from Avna? Abir gave birth to another son for Li Zhenhua. Now each of the three has a son. However, Li Zhenhua is worried that Avna and Abir are not officially married. If they have a son?This is something that is easy to talk about but not nice to hear, so he wrote a letter to Avna Abir, telling her his thoughts and asking for her opinion. If it was okay, he could stay in Tehran. If it was inconvenient, let someone take the child away. If you don't have a good rest in Tehran, you can come to Fengtian together. After writing the letter, Li Zhenhua began to focus on the reform issues again. It was now late September, and the farce in Beijing was once again staged. Prince Lang wrote a letter suggesting that the two "supreme leaders", Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi, go to foreign countries for "investigation abroad", which could show the imperial power to all countries in the world. , post-unity two can broaden your horizons. The Sixth Hall Officer (Director and Deputy Minister) of the Ministry of Rites did not agree to convey it to the higher authorities and said that Wang Zhao had ulterior motives, so the two sides had a fierce conflict. When Emperor Guangxu found out, he believed that the six officials of the Ministry of Rites were obstructing the New Deal. In order to "establish prestige", Emperor Guangxu decided to remove all six officials. This is the famous "Six Hall Officials of the Ministry of Rites" incident. However, at the beginning of the "Reformation Reform", Cixi once issued an edict that she should nod the appointment and dismissal of ministers. This time Emperor Guangxu touched the bottom line of Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi was unwilling. Li Lianying cried in front of the Empress Dowager and begged the Empress Dowager " "Listening to politics behind the curtain" Empress Dowager Cixi immediately convened a group of royal relatives and conservative figures in the Summer Palace for a meeting to conduct research Text Chapter 394 Empress Dowager Cixi¡¯s Second Coup Text Chapter 394 The Second Coup of the Empress Dowager Cixi Chapter 394 The Second Coup of the Empress Dowager Cixi Chapter 394 The Second Coup of the Empress Dowager Cixi Representatives of the conservative faction, Xu Tong, Gang Yi, etc. In addition, Prince Li Shiduo, Prince Qing Yiyu, Prince Duan Zaiyi, Prince Xiaochen Zaifeng and other royal relatives and nobles, as well as Natong, Fenche, Gui and other Manchu ministers, all came together. When these people came together, they all opposed with one voice. After the "reform reform", they jointly suggested to the Empress Dowager Cixi that the "reform reform" must be immediately stopped, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others were killed, and the Empress Dowager Cixi could "listen to politics behind the curtain" again. After listening to the words of these ministers and relatives, the Empress Dowager Cixi began to think that she knew all about Emperor Guangxu's actions. Seeing this series of actions, she believed that Emperor Guangxu's actions were fundamentally wrong. What she expected was getting further and further away, so she decided to take back the power of Emperor Guangxu and take charge of the government again. She decided to take action early tomorrow morning and ordered the relevant people to prepare to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to prepare for her second coup. I have gone through more bloody storms this time. Isn¡¯t it easy to catch him? As long as he appears in the Forbidden City, his coup will be successful. He is not afraid of what Guangxu will do again. He knows Guangxu too well. How courageous he is. Others don¡¯t. You know, but you know best. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi secretly convened a meeting with a group of conservatives and royal relatives, the Empress Dowager's driver team immediately started to act. They were all girls and not many people paid attention to them. After the Empress Dowager Cixi dismissed the meeting, they immediately passed the mouths of the eunuchs and some palace ladies. Knowing their action plan, Empress Dowager Cixi will launch a coup tomorrow to detain Emperor Guangxu and arrest those officials involved in the reform. At this time, the Summer Palace had been closed down. No one could get out. However, Narcissus, the most favored driver in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi, found herself on the head of the chief steward. She said to Li Lianying affectionately: "Uncle Li just had a little boy." The eunuch informed me that the Queen Mother and Lafayette are going to use the car tomorrow. The car is not working properly and I'm afraid it will delay things tomorrow. I want to go to the shop overnight to get some parts to repair the car" Li Lianying didn't wait for Narcissus to finish. Immediately said: "No, my little aunt, I would let you go out of the garden at other times, but not today. No one can go out today." As soon as Narcissus saw that it was not OK, she immediately said again: "Uncle Li, can you? I can't just ignore death. If I delay the Queen Mother's important event tomorrow, my life will be dead." After saying this, the little girl burst into tears. It's true that people trained by the Intelligence Department have such talent in acting that they don't become actors. That's a bit of an inconvenience. When she cried, Li Lianying found it a little difficult to handle. First, it was a little girl crying so hard that it made people feel distressed. Then, his "cousin" had let one of his own go when he was arresting Japanese spies last time. If it hadn't been for that time, he might have been in danger. When he thought of this, he felt that he couldn't let the little girl die in vain, so he said to Narcissus: "Come on, don't cry and look sad. Wait a minute. I'll take care of the guards in the garden and let them Let you out. But you have to go out and come back quietly so that no one knows about it, and don¡¯t miss tomorrow¡¯s big event.¡± ¡°Thank you, uncle. I will go back early. I will drive the car to the Mn gate now.¡± I'll leave as soon as they notify me. I'll make sure nothing is delayed." Narcissus took the weapons and drove the car to the gate with two female soldiers. After a while, a young eunuch came over and said to the imperial guards guarding the gate: "The Queen Mother has a speech. Let the driver go out to pick up the things and you guys open the mn." The guard in front of the mn immediately opened the mn and drove out. Their car didn't show any symptoms at all. When they got outside, they turned on the car lights and drove quickly towards the city. They were not afraid of being followed. Even a fast horse could not catch up with them. More than an hour later, they arrived at the mn of Xinghua Hotel. She turned the headlights on and off a few times. When the guard saw that they were coming, he immediately drove the mn. Their car rushed to the front of the building before stopping. Several people got out of the car and went directly. When we arrived at Sun Nanfeng's office on the second floor, mn Shui Xian shouted: "Report" mn was immediately opened from the inside and saw that it was them. Sun Nanfeng immediately said: "What happened to you when you came? Tell me quickly." It turns out that from various places Everyone knew about the meeting held by the Empress Dowager Cixi in the Summer Palace, but they didn't know that they were in a hurry. Narcissus and the others finally arrived. Narcissus reported what he knew to Feng Yingqing and Sun Nanfeng, saying that Empress Dowager Cixi and the others were going to carry out a "coup" tomorrow. One was to detain the emperor, and the other was to arrest the reformist officials. Feng Yingqing said to several of them: "Okay, thank you, your mission has been completed very well. Now you go back immediately and keep an eye on the Empress Dowager Cixi and act according to our original plan." "Yes" The three female warriors immediately saluted Sun Nanfeng and them They must go back immediately to do what they have not finished.They returned to the Summer Palace like flying. As soon as they got back, they immediately started repairing the car. When they heard that they were back, the chief manager Li Lianying was relieved and said: "These children are really good. As soon as they heard that the Queen Mother would use the car tomorrow, they worked all night I'll reward them well after I repair the car." After saying that, he fell asleep again. Feng Yingqing and Sun Nanfeng actually already knew about the meeting in the Summer Palace. After the meeting, the activities of some conservative officials were not hidden from their eyes. However, they did not know the time when Empress Dowager Cixi and the others took action. After Feng Yingqing compiled several aspects of intelligence, He said to Sun Nanfeng: "Notify Yuan Shikai immediately so that he can take action." The phone rang in a house in the palace. Wang Gang, who was standing in front of the phone, immediately picked up the phone: "Who?" "I am Nanfeng Phoenix. Tomorrow at dawn, the bird will be caught and imprisoned, and its claws will be plucked out. " "I understand." Wang Gang put down the phone and said to Zhang Zhong, "Phoenix will catch the bird tomorrow and pluck him out." Zhang Zhong immediately understood what this meant. The phoenix meant that Empress Dowager Cixi would catch the bird and lock him up tomorrow, which meant that she would lock up Emperor Guangxu and pull out his touch to catch his reformers. It seems that they are going to take action tomorrow. There are still a few hours left. They will immediately notify Yuan Shikai and let him prepare for action. His soldiers can be assembled in ten minutes, but he wants to protect Ku Yin, so he will not go. The Summer Palace. They immediately informed Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai was happy when he heard it. It turned out that he had already made preparations. During the day, Empress Dowager Cixi's actions could not be hidden from his eyes. He knew that they would take action soon. After Yuan Shikai heard the news, he first ordered himself The troops were assembled and he hurried off to find the emperor. At this time, the emperor was still discussing matters with Kang Youwei and others. He hurriedly said to Emperor Guangxu: "The emperor is not well. The Queen Mother will come over tomorrow to detain you and arrest those reformist officials." Text Chapter 395 Do you want to kill the king? Text Chapter 395 Do you want to kill the king? Chapter 395 Do you want to kill the king? Chapter 395 Do you want to kill the king? When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he immediately panicked and asked who Guangxu was most afraid of in the world. Well, everyone knew that what he was most afraid of was the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he hurriedly asked Yuan Shikai what to do? Yuan Shikai immediately said to Guangxu: "When the matter has reached this point, we have to act first. We will detain the Queen Mother first and then find a way to deal with those conservative officials." At this time, Weng Tonghe, who was on duty outside, heard the news. Kang Youwei came in a hurry and said to Emperor Guangxu: "This matter has to be done according to the wishes of General Yuan, otherwise we will be completely ruined early tomorrow morning." At this time, Emperor Guangxu was feeling numb, and he was afraid of Empress Dowager Cixi from the bottom of his heart. It can be imagined that if the Empress Dowager Cixi came, he would be finished, but from the bottom of his heart he could not do anything to the Empress Dowager. This made Yuan Shikai so anxious that he immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there are only more than three hours until dawn. If you If you don't make up your mind, it will be too late to regret it. " After saying that, he winked at Kang Youwei. Kang Youwei knew that he would be the first to be unlucky when the Queen Mother came tomorrow. He also knelt down and said to Guangxu, "If you don't make up your mind, please ask. The minister was unwilling to die in their hands. "Under the pressure of several people, Guangxu saw that he had no other choice but to say to Yuan Shikai: "Okay, you go and be kind to the emperor." Listen to Daxi, I listen to you here, but once I get outside, I don¡¯t have to listen to you anymore. If you want to kill or behead me, it¡¯s me who has the final say. If the old woman is alive, she has no one of her own. Well, the people on the emperor¡¯s side are No one who can get a good job may be able to survive. To say this, Yuan Shikai really understands. When he got outside, he immediately gathered his team and arranged the guards in the palace so that they must be vigilant today. Then he rode on horseback and led hundreds of soldiers along. Along the way, he kept urging his soldiers to hurry up. After more than 20 miles, they finally arrived out of breath. It was already late at night. He ordered a soldier to take his belt card and go to call mn to bring one of mn's troops, and they were all imperial guardsmen. They didn't pay attention. But as soon as they opened the door, the soldiers rushed in. But Yuan Shikai¡¯s troops were not familiar with this place and they didn¡¯t know where the Queen Mother lived. Just when they were anxious, suddenly gunfire came from behind them. It turned out that the soldiers guarding the Summer Palace did not let them in, but they rushed in. They did not dare to shoot at the time, but they were afraid that they would be responsible in the future, so when they left They fired to notify the inside that someone had broken in. At this time, another gunshot was heard from the front. Yuan Shikai waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to advance to the place where the gunfire was heard. Soon they discovered a group of girls from the driver's class of the Queen Mother. It turned out that those girls were repairing the car. They had not rested yet. . When they saw Yuan Shikai's soldiers arriving, they immediately picked up their weapons and fired a few shots at them. Then they retreated and shouted, "Go and protect the Queen Mother." In fact, there was no need for the Queen Mother's Imperial Guards, just a few of them. Yuan Shikai and others are not impossible with their skills and weapons. These female soldiers are all talents specially trained by the Ministry of Intelligence. They all have good skills. Besides, the weapons in their hands are all type 18971 twenty-ring pistols. If one person can't stand up to twenty people, that's about it. At least they could resist for a while, but they did not resist desperately but retreated towards the Queen Mother's residence while shooting. The guns in their hands did not hit any of Yuan Shikai's soldiers. At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi had woken up early. Older people usually sleep less, and with such a big thing on her mind, she couldn't sleep well at all. She got up early when she heard the gunfire. She didn't panic when she heard the gunfire. She pushed away to block her. The guards walked outside Leshou Hall. The terrain here is higher. She could see the situation outside. He knew that there were many soldiers guarding here. But when she saw that only the female drivers retreated towards her, she knew Something is wrong. Even so, she is not afraid in her heart. After so many years, she has weathered many storms. From the British and French forces entering Beijing during the Xianfeng period to the coup they staged with Yi Xin, which killed eight ministers, Gu Ming, and many more. She finally saw more of the external failure. The drivers were firing their guns desperately into the distance, but they only had short guns in their hands. They were obviously no match for the rebels, but they still resisted tenaciously. The numerous rebels were attracted to them. Empress Dowager Cixi began to worry about them. When Li Lianying saw the Empress Dowager's face, he couldn't help but shout: "Darcissus, be careful." As he shouted, a bullet hit him. Li Lianying fell to the ground. Empress Dowager Cixi took one look and fell to the ground. This person who had been loyal to her for decades fell to the ground. There was no change in the face of the old servant. Two girls ran over and said to Empress Dowager Cixi: "Quickly, Empress Dowager."It's too dangerous here. There are people behind to cover us. " The Empress Dowager Cixi struggled for a while, but the two people were very strong. One of them had already carried her on his back. The two girls carried her and ran towards the main hall of the yard. The rest of the people also ran over. One man shouted: ¡°It broke and I¡¯m out of bullets. " Several other people also shouted: "I don't have any bullets anymore. " Several people ran towards the back together, but when Yuan Jun heard that the other party's bullets were out and they were just a group of female drivers, they shouted and quickly chased here. They were just chasing, and they didn't even fire their guns. Yuan Shikai knew how to fight. It doesn't matter if the Queen Mother is dead, but it will be difficult to explain if the prince's concubine is really killed. Yuan Shikai also knew that it was the New Army people who were helping him. Without their guidance, they would not be able to find this place, so he shouted. A voice said: "Catch them and there will be a heavy reward. "The rebels quickly chased after her. Several female soldiers ran away with the Empress Dowager on their backs. This was all part of the plan. If Empress Dowager Cixi was sitting in her seat, Yuan Shikai might not have dared to kill her if she was afraid, but she As soon as she ran away, all her majesty was gone. Narcissus, who was carrying her, stumbled and fell to the ground, throwing the queen mother far away. When she saw the rebel soldiers who had been approaching, several women surrounded her. The child dodged towards the nearby bushes and disappeared into the darkness. The Queen Mother sat up from the ground, looked at Yuan Shikai and said, "What?" Do you want to kill the king? " Text Chapter 396: Regicide will not end well Text Chapter 396: There is no good end for those who kill the king Chapter 396: There is no good end for the regicide Chapter 396: There is no good end for the regicide The shoe with the bottom of the flower pot under the feet has already lost one l and one little foot has popped out. How can this be the Queen Mother who is the mother of the world? This is just a splash sitting on the ground and making a splash. No, it is not as good as a splash. What exactly does Yuan Shikai look like at that moment? I really can't think about it, but in my heart I only feel disgust for her. 8 Rapid Updates But what Yuan Shikai understood most at this time was one thing: As long as this old witch was alive, he would never survive. Only if she died could he become a hero. So he said to the soldiers with a stern face: "Shoot." The sound of gunshots rang out, and the Empress Dowager Cixi fell into a pool of blood. She pointed at Yuan Shikai and said the last words: "The regicide will not end well." Yuan Shikai looked at the Empress Dowager on the ground, and he knew that only a few of his own shots had hit her. Those soldiers They didn't dare to shoot her. He stepped forward and tried his hand on her nostrils. The old woman was finished, but her eyes were still staring at him. Yuan Shikai wiped her eyes with his hand and let her go. Closed his eyes. Don¡¯t worry about it for now. Yuan Shikai ordered his men to return to the palace quickly, where the most important place was. He hurriedly returned to the palace and told Guangxu that he wanted to detain the Queen Mother, but he didn¡¯t expect it. The Queen Mother was killed by a stray bullet. When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he fainted immediately. The eunuchs and palace maids rushed to rescue him. Yuan Shikai was worried that the emperor could not take charge of the overall situation. He might as well control the situation in the name of the emperor. Although the emperor was being rescued inside, Yuan Shikai and Kang Youwei were discussing whether they would be promoted to a higher official position. They were afraid that they would not be able to convince the public, so they called Weng Tonghe as well. Weng Tonghe turned out to be a first-grade official, so now he should be promoted as well. The higher level used to be the young master and now he has become the grand master, that is, the prime minister. Weng Tonghe was unwilling at first, but because of the current situation, he had no choice but to take on the "heavy burden." Kang Youwei was not polite and was promoted from his original fourth grade to first grade faster than a helicopter. Yuan Shikai was originally a third-rank inspector of Zhili. Later, Emperor Guangxu gave him a second-rank rank, shlang. Now he has been promoted to a first-rank admiral, commander of the fifth infantry patrol battalion (equivalent to the commander of the Beijing Garrison District and Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau) All the troops in the Beijing area must listen to him. They were discussing how to arrange official positions. Suddenly, gunshots were heard in the distance. A soldier ran in from outside and reported: "Your Excellency, Prince Li Shiduo and Prince Qing Yiyu have led their troops and surrounded the Forbidden City. They want your Excellency to quickly open the mn." They are coming in. The front has been attacked." Yuan Shikai hurriedly came to the front and saw that those people had surrounded the Forbidden City. It seemed that they were the troops of the Fengtai camp. One of the generals was the Manchu general Gui. The two princes were standing on horseback. When they got to the front of the team, they saw Yuan Shikai coming out, and they immediately said to Yuan Shikai: "The surname Yuan will immediately open the city mn and let us in. We want to meet the emperor." Yuan Shikai's troops now have more than 30,000 imperial guardsmen, and he is not afraid of these princes. The troops in the Fengtai camp were not as good as the Yulin army in terms of equipment and training. Without any nonsense, he immediately ordered his men to fire at them from a high position, so the two sides started fighting. Yuan Shikai took advantage of the geographical advantage and his soldiers stood on the high city wall. They were quickly beaten back. In the Summer Palace, since Yuan Shikai left in a hurry, there were some eunuchs and maids in the whole garden, and they planned to escape with their belongings. Now that the master is dead, there is no one to take care of them. The chief manager, Li Lianying, has also died. Those timid ones among the army have also died. They just took their own things and left, but some brave ones wanted to take more things, so they wanted to go to the Le Shou Hall where the Queen Mother lived to get more, but they found that the big mn was tightly closed, so they came here The ladder was about to climb over the wall, but their hats were shot off as soon as they started. It turned out that there were still people guarding here. They hurriedly came down to think of a way. At first, it was just the eunuchs and maids who were planning to come here, but soon some soldiers guarding the garden came over and they were also planning to come here. When they saw the eunuchs and maids, they knew that someone was already inside. Their theory It means "we meet each other and split half" and we will immediately launch a strong attack inside. Now guarding the Leshou Hall are some eunuchs and maids who used to follow the Queen Mother. They were all loyal to the Queen Mother. They brought the Queen Mother nng back to find a place to park there. Later, the female drivers who drove for the Queen Mother also came. They knew These people are extremely "loyal" to the Queen Mother. The steward said to Narcissus and the others: "Now that the Queen Mother has gone, we should report to the Emperor." But Narcissus said to them: "No, now the whole of Beijing is gone. We are now." If you can't get out, you can only wait here. We must protect the Queen Mother.?Remains. "Yes, there were gunshots everywhere outside at this time. They had no choice but to guard here. They asked the manager to prepare breakfast for people. People made do with it. After a while, some people who wanted to make plans here came and they all started. Those people outside thought that people like themselves were inside searching for the Queen Mother's things, so they rushed inside with confidence to seize the things left by the Queen Mother. The situation in Leshou Hall is also very tense. Now that all the driver's class is here, there are only about a dozen of them. They and some eunuchs with weapons are guarding each place. If anyone comes in, kill them with bullets. There is no need to be polite to them anyway. It wasn't until noon that another group of New Army soldiers arrived and they took a breath. From the sound of gunfire, they knew that the fighting in the Forbidden City was still going on. The weapons of the Fengtai garrison were not as good as Yuan Shikai's Yulin Army, but they continued. More troops were mobilized there and charged towards the Forbidden City. The soldiers lying on the ground outside the city wall were already lying on the ground. Fortunately, they did not use artillery to attack. If they had used artillery, Yuan Shikai would have already fallen to Tongzhou in the east of the city. Someone was sent there to ask for help, but the troops there hadn't arrived yet, which made him very anxious. Text Chapter 397 The Garrison in Tongzhou Text Chapter 397 The Garrison in Tongzhou Chapter 397 The Garrison in Tongzhou Chapter 397 The Garrison in Tongzhou Li Zhenhua¡¯s headquarters at this time has arrived in Langfang. He has been paying close attention to the situation in Beijing. Now their main battlefield is in the Forbidden City. The communication is still smooth, and news is constantly coming that the two sides are now in a stalemate. The situation of Emperor Guangxu is not good, and it is probably enough. Those who should be protected have already begun to gather them in the station hotel building. There are corresponding troops there to guard there. There is no problem. Li Zhenhua decided not to let them struggle in the city anymore. He had to find a way to transfer them out of the city. There would be no benefit as time went by and the losses would become greater and greater. But now it was to see if Tongzhou's troops were mobilized. As long as they mobilized those conservatives The troops will soon retreat to Fengtai. Li Zhenhua asked Feng Guozhang: "How is it? Is there still no movement from the troops in Tongzhou?" "Yes, they still haven't moved. It seems that these officers still have their own ideas. The few officers who came back from the Northeast will not listen so easily. They just heard that they had sent two people to ask for reinforcements. "The generals who came back from the northeast were Nie Shicheng, Ma Yikun, Turleng and Zuo Yingui. As soon as the war in the northeast was over, Li Zhenhua asked them to come back. Currently, the troops stationed in Tongzhou are mainly Han troops. Their main task is to guard the capital and guard against what happens in Tianjin. The troops stationed in Fengtai are mainly Manchu troops. Their main task is to guard the public order and safety of the capital. This is also the reason why the Qing army was divided into two parts. With the Queen Mother's hand, the imperial relatives could immediately mobilize their Fengtai troops. But now the Tongzhou soldiers are more complicated. They can't deal with the violence in the city. They all have their own spies to investigate and the situation is unclear. You cannot send troops casually. If something goes wrong, your own life may be involved. d. Beat. Right) But they are not welcome to those relatives of the emperor and will not support them. However, they are also very disgusted with the practices of the reformists, especially the rapid promotion of Kang Youwei and Yuan Shikai. They are also dissatisfied, and they are using the emperor. in the name of suppressing them. These people also asked Li Zhenhua's New Army about the troops staying in the Northeast, but they were told that the Commander-in-Chief had entered the customs and where exactly he was going. They don't know now and will definitely inform them after contacting the Commander-in-Chief. . Since we can¡¯t get in touch, we can only wait. They will never take risks at this time. If you stand in the wrong team, you will lose your head. In the evening, rumors spread that Emperor Guangxu was dying due to his poor health and the stimulation. At this time, the capital sent people for the third time. This time, it was the emperor's personal decree that the troops who came to the capital to suppress the rebellion would be rewarded and promoted to two ranks. After hearing the emperor's oral instructions, two of the four generals at this time had already Those who couldn't sit still were Ma Yikun and Turling, but the other two, Nie Shicheng and Zuo Ygui, still insisted on waiting. Seeing that the troops were unstable, the experienced Nie Shicheng said: "Let's just don't hurt the four of us." If you two are willing to go, then you two will go. If the two of us don't want to move, then we won't move. That's good. " It's hard for four people to tell who to order. Nie Shicheng's words make sense, so Ma Ykun and Tu. Erleng and others mobilized 20,000 troops from their headquarters and set off for Beijing. Nie Shicheng and Zuo Yinggui continued to stay where they were. Seeing that Tongzhou's troops were dispatched, Li Zhenhua said to Feng Guozhang: "The troops from Fengtai will withdraw as soon as they move." "They don't have the advantage to begin with, and with the addition of these troops, they will definitely be in trouble. Now they can mobilize The only troops left are Ronglu's troops. " "They still have one troop available," Li Zhenhua said, "Yu Xian, the governor of Shanxi, is a person who is relatively close to them, but I'm afraid he won't be able to come. "How?" Feng Guozhang asked. "How long can they hold on after these Tongzhou troops have passed? They will probably retreat towards Shanxi. If that happens" "We should move." The two said together. ¡°It¡¯s not yet time yet and it will probably have to be tomorrow afternoon.¡± Li Zhenhua said thoughtfully. "Yes, it's almost tomorrow afternoon. Then we must be prepared tomorrow morning so that everyone will pay close attention to their actions. As soon as they withdraw from the Fengtai Camp, Yuan Shikai will definitely pursue them. Then we will send troops to capture Beijing without bloodshed. "Li Zhenhua added: "Tonight we will evacuate our protected targets to Fengtian. It is estimated that they will go on a killing spree tonight. Let them go there to visit. Firstly, it will be safe there, and secondly, it will open their eyes in the future. Don¡¯t worry, they will continue to know nothing and still make noises when they have nothing to do¡± "Yes, let Lao Xu accompany them to Fengtian for a few days to visit various places and wait for us to resolve the matter before letting them come back." "Order the first division troops to quickly advance to the area near the city and stand by on the spot." Two After the people made the plan, they immediately informed Feng Yingqing to arrange for those protected persons to go to Fengtian to visit, and their family members also went together. When Ma Yinkun and Turleng arrived at the edge of the city of Beijing, they stopped leaving. They had to stop for observation and even fight would have to wait until tomorrow. However, the news that their army had arrived outside the city still shocked the relatives of the emperor. Astonished, they immediately stopped the siege of the Forbidden City and began to withdraw their troops to Fengtai, but they also issued an order to eliminate those hateful people. The retreating Qing troops conveniently carried out looting in Beijing. However, because the leaders were not willing to cause too much trouble, they finally restrained their soldiers and continued to withdraw to Fengtai. . That night, the whole city of Beijing was filled with conservative officials. They issued orders to kill some people without mercy and to arrest others first. The Qing troops rushed into the houses of various officials like wolves and tigers. However, due to the The personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence (MN) have done a lot of work in advance. Those people's homes have already been prepared. The Qing army has not caught a few people at all, let alone want to kill them. They and their families have already gone to the train station. . It¡¯s just that some people they had personal grievances with were killed and arrested by them, and their families also suffered some losses, which has nothing to do with the overall situation. The royal relatives finally arrived at the camp in Fengtai, and the conservative officials began to discuss how to deal with the situation. Now it is obvious that they cannot be defeated, and only Ronglu and Tianjin are left. With the help of Shanxi Governor Yuxian's two troops, the defeat should be able to be reversed. Text Chapter 398 Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters Text Chapter 398: Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters Chapter 398: Those who achieve great things do not adhere to trivial details Chapter 398: Those who achieve great things do not adhere to trivial details Several princes immediately sent telegrams asking for help to Ronglu, the governor of Tianjin and Yuxian, the governor of Shanxi to explain to them If the rebels were allowed to gain power, they would be in trouble. They also had literary talents among them, so they hurriedly prepared the draft of the telegram. Several people read it and hurriedly sent it out. The emperor did not use it today because he was afraid that the cannon would startle him, so he will use it tomorrow. Immediately ordered the artillery to concentrate and prepare to deal with the rebels tomorrow. Several princes asked again about the people who needed to be arrested. No one had been arrested. They reported that they had gone to all places, some had no one, some had encountered resistance, and few had been caught. At this time, there was no way to pursue them. If the responsibility is taken care of, then we will have to deal with it later. Late at night in the hotel at the station, those ministers, ministers, ministers from various countries, and other relevant personnel who were protected by the New Army were notified that the rebel troops were going to attack here tonight. For everyone's safety, they decided to move everyone out. Please go to the platform behind the building to board the train. In front of this hotel is the station square, and behind it is the platform of the train station. But some foreign ministers in China were unwilling to leave. They thought it was very safe here. The service staff said to them: "That's not possible. We don't have a single soldier here to guarantee everyone's safety. If something happens to you here, We can't afford it." After hearing these words, the foreigners hurried out of the back of the hotel. These people hurriedly came down from upstairs to the platform. There was already a passenger train parked on the platform in front of them. Everyone had been assigned a ticket. Everyone got on the bus in order. The train left Beijing with a long blast and headed for Fengtian. The young waitresses on the train gave everyone a hot water train broadcast, and also greeted everyone cordially and introduced some precautions when the train is running. It was the first time for most of the officials to take a train. Everything felt fresh. By dawn the next day, the train had arrived in Tangshan. During the day, you could sit on the train and look at the scenery of the journey. In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, we arrived in the evening. Fengtian. The Governor of the Northeast, Xu Shichang, had already greeted everyone on the platform. Fengtian was a smaller place and there was no hotel that could accommodate so many people, so he separated them into the best-decorated one for senior officials to stay in. The most protected place was occupied by foreigners. Officials will be worse off. After finally getting them all to rest, Xu Shichang began to rest. The activity on the second day was a visit, but since everyone was still concerned about the situation in Beijing, someone introduced the current situation in Beijing to everyone, and then everyone started the visit. But some of the elders in the court were worried about the situation in the court, such as Li Hongzhang, Sun Yuwen, Xu Gengshen and others. They had no intention of doing anything else. They pulled Xu Shichang and asked him where Li Zhenhua had gone. Xu Shichang said to them "I'm afraid the general's temperament is clearer than mine. Will he stay in Fengtian in this situation? He went to Beijing to solve the problem. But without the Queen Mother and the Emperor, I'm afraid he will be dead. I'm afraid he has gone." It can't solve the problem. It would be much more difficult for someone like him to say that he is unwilling to hurt the people and shed more blood. "Li Hongzhang sat there in shock for a while and said to Xu Shichang." Can Mr. Xu contact him? "Xu Shichang said: "You can contact Mr. Zhongtang." Li Hongzhang said to Sun Yuwen: "Master Sun, the matter has reached this stage. We can't let this young man stick to the rules anymore. We should solve the problem as quickly as possible. If this situation lasts for a long time, we must guard against the great powers taking advantage of this situation." Sun Yuwen immediately said: "I agree with Zhongtang's opinion, so I will use the opinions of a few of us to tell him that it will become a big deal. Don't stick to the details and ask him to solve the problem quickly. "Xu Shichang immediately picked up the phone and said to the phone: "I am Xu Shichang. I immediately tried to get through to the commander-in-chief and said that Mr. Zhongtang wanted to see him." After that, he put down the phone. Shichang was also very good at telling stories that Li Zhongtang was looking for someone, not that he was looking for someone himself. After a while, the phone rang. Xu Shichang walked over, picked up the phone and said, "Who is that?" Li Zhenhua's voice came from the phone: "Is it Li Zhongtang looking for me?" Xu Shichang hurriedly handed the phone to Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang coughed in his hand (I have never used this thing before and I am not familiar with it, so I have to clear my throat first): "General Li? I am Shaoquan, where are you now?" "I am in Langfang. If you have anything to say in the middle hall, please speak." " Just now I, Sun Laishan and Xu Juren (about Xu Shichang, some people say it is Juren, others say it is Bu Wu. I use the word Juren here, please forgive me, readers). We discussed together and suggested that the general shouldThose who do not stick to trivial matters can achieve big things. Now that Beijing's changes have begun, it must be resolved quickly. If it takes a long time, it may attract interference from the great powers. " "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhongtang, for reminding me. I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible. " "Then we can rest assured. " "Everyone, when you arrive at Fengtian, I won't be waiting for you when I go back. You must punish yourself with a few drinks. If you have anything to do, just talk to Mr. Xu. He is the master of Northeast China. " "Okay, okay, you must pay attention to your own safety. "Thank you, Mr. Zhongtang. Please take care and see you, Mr. Zhongtang." Li Zhenhua put down the phone. It seems that these veterans are still supporting him, so he can do it boldly. In the morning, as expected, Yuan Shikai sent more than 20,000 troops to Fengtai. An attack was launched in that direction, but this time it was obviously difficult. The defenders in the Fengtai camp used artillery to bombard the attacking rebels. This caused Yuan Shikai's troops to suffer heavy losses, but the newly arrived troops of Ma Yikun and Turleng Instead of charging up so stupidly, they also pulled their own cannons and fired fiercely at the troops in the camp. The battle between the two sides continued until the evening. These rebels had obviously taken over the conservative troops. After gaining the upper hand, Ma Yikun, Turleng and Yuan Shikai discussed Ma Ykun's proposal to launch a surprise attack on them at night to eliminate them in one fell swoop. Turleng and Yuan Shikai agreed to his suggestion and decided to rest all night. The attack started at the third watch of the night. Someone in the palace also reported that Emperor Guangxu was on his last legs. He probably wouldn't be able to survive until tomorrow morning. He asked Yuan Shikai for an idea, but he was so caught up in the situation that he couldn't go back. But he couldn't worry about the affairs in the palace, so he sent someone to send letters to Kang Youwei and Weng Tonghe to ask them about the current situation in the palace. Text Chapter 399 Melee Text Chapter 399 Soul Battle Chapter 399 hn Battle Chapter 399 hn Battle In the middle of the night, the people sent by Yuan Shikai came back and said that there were only some small movements in Beijing now and no big troops. The doctors in the city's imperial hospital had already said It is estimated that Emperor Guangxu will not survive tomorrow morning, so he must prepare an early letter. The palace is currently preparing for the funeral. In addition, Weng Tonghe and Kang Youwei also wrote a reply to Yuan. The letter was very simple and only had a few words: "The emperor is as good as dead." If the emperor is dead, it will be easy to do anything in the name of the emperor. Yuan Shikai said in his heart: Old foxes like them are thoughtful. If the emperor is dead, it will be a disaster for people like him. It would be extremely disadvantageous. If others knew that they had killed the Queen Mother and the Emperor and died in their own palace, then no one in the world would support them anymore, so they would not be able to unite to attack. Now he has no choice but to deal with these conservative troops wholeheartedly. Only by dealing with them can he escape. The conservative leaders and relatives of the emperor were also tired. After a day of hard work, they failed to capture the Forbidden City and were beaten back by Yuan Jun. The army of the Fengtai camp lost nearly one-third. They were defeated again at noon. Lu sent an urgent telegram asking him to send troops to support immediately. As a result, the garrison from Tianjin did not arrive, but the army from Tongzhou came instead. This made it difficult for them to resist, so they urged Ronglu again to ask him to send troops to support quickly. If there was any With Ronglu's support, they can defeat those rebels. Chapter d) Ronglu¡¯s telegram came back. He said that his army will arrive tomorrow morning but he can only send four thousand people, but he will lead the army personally. These people were very happy after hearing this. They thought Ronglu's troops should be able to fight some. Didn't they train with the new army? That way Yuan Shikai can be dealt with. At the same time, Shanxi also sent a telegram back. They also said that they can arrive in Fengtai tomorrow. These people are now saying that Li Zhenhua is fine. If Li Zhenhua hadn't been so anxious to build the railway, these two groups of people wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly. So they discussed Decided to send a telegram to Li Zhenhua in Fengtian to count Yuan Shikai's crimes of regicide and ask him to send troops to support the elimination of the rebels to avenge the Queen Mother and rescue Emperor Guangxu from their hands. But Fengtian's telegram was quickly replied: "Dear princes and lords: The commander-in-chief has now gone to the pass. I don't know where he has gone. If we contact the commander-in-chief, we will report the situation to him immediately and ask him to send troops to support you." When the princes saw that it was not cured, they could not force it since they were not in Fengtian, so they had to give up their thoughts. At this time, Prince Zhuang Zaixun said again: "The Empress Dowager Cixi has passed away. Shouldn't we go and deal with the funeral affairs?" The proposal was immediately opposed by other princes. Prince Li Shiduo and Prince Qing Yiyu said first: "What time is it now? We don't know if we can defeat them now. We can't care about the affairs in the palace now. Not now." Has the prince's troops passed by? As long as he is guarding it, we don't need to worry about it. Let's take care of Yuan Shikai and the other rebels first." After hearing the words of the two close men, the others did not say anything. If people who are close to you don't talk to us, it will be even better for those who are further away. In the early morningthe sound of cannons rang out. Ma Kun and Turleng's troops concentrated all their cannons and began to violently bombard the troops in the camp. This knocked out the troops in the camp. The sound of cannons and people's The screams were loud for a long time before the cannons in the camp began to fire back at them. Since the troops of Ma and Tu had few cannons and shells, the cannons stopped after a while. Similarly, there were not many troops in the Fengtai camp. The cannonballs and their cannons stopped firing not long after. The troops outside launched an attack into the camp. At first, there was constant gunfire. But later, because the two sides were engaged in a close-quarters night battle, the rifles of both sides slowly stopped. Then there was a fight with primitive weapons. The side guarding the camp took over again. The upper wind drove the rebels back from the camp. The day soon dawned. Both sides suffered losses, but relatively speaking, the defensive side suffered greater losses. Yuan Shikai was very anxious when he saw that the attack was blocked. He was preparing to organize an attack again. At this time, Ronglu's troops arrived from Tianjin and they launched an attack from behind Yuan Shikai. Ronglu¡¯s army in Tianjin was trained by the Germans, but its weapons were helped by the New Army. The equipment was better than that of the Yulin Army, but their combat effectiveness was definitely not as strong as that of the New Army because after all, they were not students led by a teacher. Ma Yikun and Turleng had nowhere to vent their anger. When they saw that someone was coming from behind and wanted to surround them, they immediately sent out a reserve team to attack and fight with Ronglu's reinforcements. It seems that these original Qing troops and Li Zhenhua who went out for free have learned to leave reserve teams. In the Fengtai camp, they saw that Yuan Jun was already fighting behind him.They immediately started attacking Yuan Jun from the front, and it suddenly turned into a two-sided battle. Fortunately, they had more people and less time. The Tianjin troops could not withstand them and had to escape to Nanyuan in Beijing. Ronglu is so angry. They are all troops trained from Tianjin. How come Li Zhenhua's troops can fight but his own troops can't? These are German instructors. Their weapons are also good. Why can't they be as good as Li Zhenhua's troops? ? In fact, this does not mean that his troops cannot fight the key. It is because their combat awareness is different. Compared with Li Zhenhua, their combat awareness has long lagged behind. The German army is a powerful army, but their combat philosophy still remains at the level of primitive combat, while Li Zhenhua's concept of modern combat is a prerequisite. Weapons are a prerequisite, but the key still depends on the role of people. The armies of Ma Kun and Turleng quickly suppressed Tianjin's army. As soon as Ronglu saw that it was not possible, he immediately sent his soldiers to bypass Yuan Shikai's army and go west through Nanyuan to join Fengtai's army. Without Ronglu to contain the rebels from behind, the battlefield immediately stopped. Now Yuan Shikai knew in his heart that you couldn't do it. If I attack you one more time, it would be almost the same. He asked the troops to take a break. The soldiers were too tired. They didn't get a good rest that night and continued to fight for a long time. Anyway, he was tired. After the soldiers had eaten, Yuan Shikai was almost rested. He ordered another attack on the Fengtai camp. This time he shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers, take the camp in front and go back. I will reward you heavily." " Text Chapter 400 Clear Text Chapter 400 Cleared Chapter 400 Cleared Chapter 400 Cleared Haha, it¡¯s so fast. In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s already chapter 400. Thank you all for your support and continue writing. Yuan Jun's large group of troops rushed towards the enemy again. Once again, the HN battle started again. Here they were fighting. A unit came from the side and opened fire on Yuan Shikai's army. Yuan Shikai took a look and it turned out to be the more than 3,000 troops of Yu Xian, the governor of Shanxi. Yuan Shikai immediately asked Ma Yikun to detach a group of troops to deal with them. The rest continued to attack the front. This time, the troops of Fengtai Camp finally gave up and they began to retreat to the rear. Although those Shanxi soldiers came by train, they got off the train at Changxindian and marched for dozens of miles without rest. They could not last long and retreated together. However, Yuan Shikai's call made those desperate soldiers They rushed forward like crazy and entered the camp. They were still killing the princes desperately. When they saw that the situation was over, they and Yuxian retreated towards Fangshan. Hearing that the imperial relatives began to retreat towards Fangshan, Li Zhenhua immediately issued an order. The First Infantry Division had entered the suburbs of Beijing from Pinggu and Miyun. Let them quickly occupy the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City and then begin to stabilize the order of Beijing. The militia division of the Fangshan power plant and mining area The troops responsible for resolving the fighting between the two sides must stop the fighting as soon as possible and cannot let it continue. The person who came here in advance to convey Li Zhenhua's battle plan was the Manchu general Commander Rui Changrui. After his injury was cured in Fengtian, he had not yet returned to Harbin, but because the situation was already very tense, Changrui asked Li Zhenhua for a mission. He said to Li Zhenhua : "My life is saved by the Commander-in-Chief. People cannot be ungrateful. I will be the Commander-in-Chief's from now on. Even if I die, there will be no regrets. But I will definitely complete the tasks assigned to me by the Commander-in-Chief." As a result, Chang Rui led his more than 100 people to Fangshan in advance to convey Li Zhenhua's instructions to the local garrison, and then waited for Li Zhenhua's order in Fangshan. Upon hearing the order from above for them to take action, Chang Rui led a regiment of security forces that had been prepared to attack the conservative troops' escape route, which was the mountain road from Fangshan to Laiyuan. Most of the more than a hundred people under him were Manchu warriors. Chang Rui rode at the front of the team. His soldiers were now his guards. They were all wearing M-color uniforms. Each of them had two twenty-shot pistols. One was packed in a gun case and slung on one side. The other was stuck to the front. The armed belt was made of cowhide. The bullet bag carries 200 rounds for each person. When we got to the roadside, we saw a large number of troops coming from a distance. The first was the fleeing troops. When they got here, they were blocked by Chang Rui and others. Now after two days of deadly battles between the two sides, they and a total of more than 10,000 others. Chang Rui rode on his horse and fired three shots in the air with his pistol "Pa", "Pa", "Pa" and then conveyed Li Zhenhua's order to them: "Everyone, please pay attention. I am now announcing that the entire country will be invaded." "Anyone who dares to disobey the orders of General Li Zhenhua, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, will be killed without mercy." Chang Rui, who has experienced many battles, has a murderous look in his hands. He holds two twenty-shot pistols in his hands and immediately makes some timid people. The soldiers were so frightened that they dropped their guns. Hearing that someone was blocking the way of the troops, the fleeing princes and ministers came to the front of the retreating soldiers. Seeing that all the people who needed to be cleared appeared here, Chang Rui spoke again: "I will say it again, I am now Announced the order of General Li Zhenhua, commander-in-chief of the country's army and navy. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy." Someone among the fleeing crowd on the opposite side knew Chang Rui. Someone immediately greeted him: "Isn't this the deputy commander-in-chief of Heilongjiang, Chang Rui? "A guard nearby said immediately: "No nonsense. This is our Harbin City Defense Commander. Please listen to the commander-in-chief's order." "Now I am announcing the order of General Li Zhenhua, the commander-in-chief of the national army and navy: everyone should put down their weapons immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed without mercy." Those people looked down on such a small officer like Chang Rui. Someone immediately said: "Why should we listen to him? Chang Rui, isn't he just a small deputy commander? Our prince gave the order." Ronglu, the governor of Zhili, squeezed to the front and said to Chang Rui: "General Li and I are brothers, doesn't Chang Rui know?" At this time, some people also hurriedly became relatives with Li Zhenhua. Some called me uncle, some called me uncle, and some people also shouted together. " Chang Rui already had Li Zhenhua's instructions. He didn't care about them. He just shouted and asked his brothers: "What should I do if someone dares to disobey the commander-in-chief's order and dare not to put down their weapons? what should we do? ""Kill without mercy!" His guards pretended to shout together with the security guards behind him. Chang Rui waved his hand downwards and fired more than two hundred pistols out of the flames.?The royal family members, generals, governors, governors and ministers all fell to the ground with weapons in their hands. Chang Rui shouted again: "Is there anyone who dares to disobey orders?" The fleeing soldiers saw that these men were really brave. Princes, governors, governors, ministers, they would dare to kill anyone, let alone They were immediately dumbfounded when they said that they were small soldiers. At this time, the militia soldiers holding weapons behind them also shouted: "Put down your weapons and shoot without killing." The weapons in their hands were also pointed at the soldiers. When the defeated soldiers saw this posture, it seemed that they could not survive without handing over their guns. They were all stunned. The soldiers rushed over and escorted them forward. They put their weapons aside and soon formed a hill of soldiers. They were also pushed aside by the militia soldiers. The pursuers from behind came up quickly. When they saw someone blocking the road, the dead bodies of the princes were lying on the ground. They didn't know what was going on and had to stop the pursuit. When the rebel leaders behind saw that the troops had stopped advancing, they immediately caught up with them. They first saw the princes and senior officials lying on the ground, but when they saw the murderous soldiers, they were a little confused. An officer asked: "General, what do you mean?" A guard immediately said: "Don't speak and listen to our commander's announcement of orders." Chang Rui glanced at them and said loudly: "Now I declare that all the army and navy The commander-in-chief, General Li Zhenhua, ordered anyone who dared to disobey the order to be killed without mercy." Someone immediately asked: "What order?" Chang Rui glared at the man, who was so frightened that he almost knelt down. Chang Rui said loudly: "General Li Zhenhua, the commander-in-chief of the country's army and navy, ordered everyone to put down their weapons immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy." When Yuan Shikai heard this, he immediately said: "I am the ninth admiral, he has no control over me. "As soon as Chang Rui raised his hand, he heard two gunshots. Yuan Shikai's head was hit by two bullets. Then there was another burst of gunfire. Yuan Shikai and several of his generals were beaten. Became a sieve. He really agreed to what Empress Dowager Cixi said. Someone next to him immediately shouted: "We obey the order." It turned out to be Ma Ykun and Turleng who were standing behind Yuan Shikai. Chang Rui said: "Then please ask the two generals to stand over here." Text VIP Volume Cen Chunxuan Text VIP Volume Cen Chunxuan VIP Volume Cen Xuan Chapter 401 Cen Xuan (The two chapters that were supposed to be uploaded on the 23rd were finally connected yesterday because I couldn¡¯t connect to the Internet. It was still four minutes late. I had to say sorry to everyone. I will continue to promise today. No debt, thank you for your support. Ma Ykun and Turleng walked forward and immediately someone pulled their guns and asked them to stand aside. Come to think of it, I shouldn't have drowned in this muddy water so quickly. If Chang Rui is not so energetic, he will kill himself directly. Nie Shicheng and Zuo Yinggui are much wiser than me. It's already too late to regret now. Seeing that their commander had handed over their weapons, their two troops also surrendered their weapons. The only ones left were Yuan Shikai's soldiers. When they saw that everyone had handed over their guns, what else could they say? Ah, they also handed over their guns. They simply stopped the battle that they had been fighting for several days. Chang Rui's report to Li Zhenhua only contained a few words: "The fighting has stopped for the officers and soldiers on both sides." "All became prisoners of war and were all targeted." Chang Rui asked his men to make a list of those relatives of the emperor and those who participated in the violence, and reported to Li Zhenhua that most of them were dead. None of the twelve iron hat kings was alive anymore. In addition, the Governor of Zhili, Ronglu, and the Governor of Shanxi were all dead. After receiving the report from Chang Rui, Li Zhenhua looked at the already dark sky: "Please ask the Chief of Staff to deal with the aftermath." He said to his subordinates. Then he added: "Tell the news to Fengtian and let the people there feel relieved." It was completely dark. Now the whole city of Beijing is under martial law. Only some troops on foot, on horseback and in cars are carrying out the operations. Patrolling groups of New Army soldiers marched on the street. It was easy to say something about the aftermath, but it was not so easy to actually do it. Emperor Guangxu was still able to endure it. He finally heard the news that the rebellion had stopped, but he had no choice. He was so happy that he tilted his head on his dragon couch and passed away forever. His death represented the complete demise of the Qing Dynasty that had ruled China for more than 250 years. Wang Gang commanded the soldiers of the new army to fight in the Forbidden City. Yuan Shikai's troops who participated in the rebellion cleared out the palace. You are tired after fighting for two days. Let's go find a place to rest. The officials divided them into categories, leaving the rest of the people from the second rank and above to go home to rest. It's easy to talk, but there is one person who is willing to listen to Wang Gang's arrangements no matter what. This is Kang Youwei, who has just promoted himself to a high-ranking official. Originally, he was also under protection, but when he heard that the rebellion in Beijing had stopped, those royal relatives After hearing the news that all the relatives were dead, and even Yuan Shikai was dead, he returned to his small room and put a bottle of poison that he had prepared on the table. Then he took out paper and pen. Li Zhenhua wrote a few words: "You win. Although I don't like your way of doing things, I have to obey you. I'm watching you in the sky. You have done a lot of good things for the people in the past. I hope you can make this country stronger." "Death without regrets" and then drank yo. He was unwilling to leave by himself with his colleague Li Zhenhua, but Weng Tonghe stayed behind with the senior officials to wait for Li Zhenhua's final treatment of them. It turned out that the eunuchs and maids everywhere returned to their residences to rest under the leadership of their subordinate stewards. Xiao Shanzi, who was not allowed to move around casually without orders, was temporarily appointed as the steward to cooperate with Zhang Zhong and Wang Gang. Responsible for maintaining law and order in the Forbidden City. The troops are mobilizing. A division of the New Army has entered the city. Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baoy's 10,000 troops have received orders from Li Zhenhua. They will assist the New Army and at the same time conduct vigilance work in various cities and guard some important places. The clean-up work in the city once again went deep into the city. The loudspeakers installed on the cars announced the notice of peace and security to the citizens of Beijing. All officials, soldiers, residents, etc. cooperated. No one was allowed to go out at will. The staff of the embassies of various countries in Beijing were also notified. They were not allowed to go out and the soldiers posted guards outside their legation could not go out without permission. Groups of New Army soldiers, under the guidance of mn personnel from the Intelligence Department, ransacked the homes of some well-known corrupt officials and officials who participated in the violence. At this time, the biggest corrupt official was Prince Qing, who had deceived the leaders of the New Army. Knowing that there are many corrupt officials in the Manchu government, we took this opportunity to punish them. If we let them go, it would be hard to say if they were punished. It is inevitable that some will be caught. If the country's property, people and blood and sweat fall into their pockets, That won't work. But there are also some people who are relatively honest, like Prince Chun Yixuan, who is the biological father of Emperor Guangxu. He once handled tens of millions of taels of navy funds. Although he was obedient to the Empress Dowager Cixi, he was not.He had embezzled a large amount of money. He wrote a limerick during his lifetime, which he said to himself and his descendants: "The wealth is great, and the inheritance is great, and the descendants will be great misfortune. If you ask this question, how can the descendants have a lot of money, be bold, and be afraid of all the big things?" If you ask this question, your descendants will have less money, less courage, and less wealth. They will know how to save themselves and use frugally. "The home of Prince Xiaochen Zaifeng. It is true that there is not much property. This is what Li Zhenhua has known for a long time. Besides, he always wanted to give his family some face. Now that the person is dead, no one went to their home to search, but they did have someone come to his home to inform them. Tell them not to move around during the martial law period so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to themselves. Two days later, the inspection work was completed, and a large amount of gold, silver and treasures were obtained. Li Zhenhua had heard people say in his original world that the Empress Dowager Cixi alone had 400 million taels of silver. There are not as many as people say. It is probably because people overestimated some treasures and the like. Another reason is the gap between the prices at that time and those in later generations. In the past two days, Li Zhenhua checked the roster of officials. He found a person in a book, that is, Cen Xuan. According to people from the Intelligence Department, he gave Emperor Guangxu a lot of tricks during the reform period. The most famous one is : On the seventh day of July in the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu (August 23), Cen submitted a memorial to Emperor Guangxu, advocating a relatively thorough elimination of redundant internal and external officials, "to ensure that every official has his or her duties and is not in vain." "You are a disciple with great wealth and wealth." Text Chapter 402 Establishment of a police station Text Chapter 402 Establishment of the Police Department Chapter 402 Establishment of the Police Department Chapter 402 Establishment of the Police Department Li Zhenhua couldn't help but said: "This is quite a character. We can let him take charge of the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the future, but for now it is best to let him manage Beijing. Let¡¯s work on public security.¡± Cen Xuan was deeply appreciated by Emperor Guangxu. After weighing it several times, he finally issued a sensational imperial edict to the General Affairs Department of the Capital, Guanglu Temple, and Taichang on July 13th (August 31st). Temple, Honglu Temple, Taipu Temple, and the governors of Hubei, Guangdong, and Yunnan provinces were all abolished. All redundant staff in offices and bureaus established by each province must be eliminated. Cen used this book to promote Guangdong to the Chief Envoy. Li Zhenhua immediately asked the Intelligence Department to investigate the whereabouts of this person. He asked that he had not taken office yet (it seems that this Cen Xuan has a problem, that is, he is not very active in taking office. He has served as the governor of Sichuan twice, but it turns out that he has not taken office at all. I have been to Sichuan. I ordered Cen Xuan to be summoned. Cen Xuan was on standby in the palace at this time. When he heard that Li Zhenhua was looking for him, he was frightened. He didn¡¯t know what the general was looking for. He came to see Li Zhenhua with uneasiness. Without any nonsense, he directly told him that the current order in Beijing should be sorted out for us. Seeing this, Cen Xuan said that he could implement it immediately. He immediately suggested that Li Zhenhua should follow the methods of Western countries and set up a police agency in Beijing. Yes, immediately appoint him as the chief of police in Beijing to take charge of Beijing's security work. At the same time, he will analyze all the officials in Beijing. If they can be used, they will be put into office immediately. If they are not, then he will not be used first. Cen Xuan asked Li Zhenhua to ask Li Zhenhua to tell him. : "You are responsible for asking Nie Shicheng and Zuo Yinggui for some honest soldiers to form a police force, and then find some people from some officials to cooperate with you." There are many things that are urgent to deal with now. Li Zhenhua made a call to Li Hongzhang in Fengtian. Ask him to come back to discuss the country's future problems. Li Hongzhang couldn't sit still in Fengtian at this time. He found a few people and came back first. The people who came back were Xu Shichang, Sun Yuwen, Xu Gengshen and others. Li Zhenhua immediately started to deal with those officials. There is no need for them to stay in the palace any longer. Let them go home first. Don't worry about their food here, but inform them that they will all be at home to wait for processing and are not allowed to go out alone. Of course, there are some people who need to be taken care of most of the time. Just let them go home. Anyway, there are too many officials. In the future, we will only select people with ability to come to work. The rest will have to be laid off. The rest are the soldiers who participated in the riot. It turns out that the soldiers from Fengtai Camp left on their own. I don¡¯t care about the captured people. I¡¯ll first distinguish them. Those who are honest and have a family and a job are easy to talk to. First, ask for their opinions and ask them what they plan to do in the future. Those who are willing to work can join the work on the spot. Those who are willing to go home and farm will be allowed to return. The family has gone to farm. Some veterans are gangsters, so we should discipline them very well for a period of time and not let them go to the local areas to harm the people. After a period of education, let them enter some factories and let them go to work and not promote them to society. If they flow into society and go up the mountain to become bandits, it will be troublesome to deal with it. The other imperial guards will also deal with it in the same way. But for those Qing soldiers who have followed them to the Northeast to fight against the old men, they have to have a much better attitude. If you are willing to continue serving as a soldier, you can stay, but you must first enter the non-commissioned officer school for further training before you can return to the army. If you are willing to go home, you can go home and give them some silver dollars for travel expenses. You can also find jobs for them in Beijing for middle- and high-level people. Officers no longer use them. But for those who actively ask to continue serving as soldiers, it depends on whether they are really good. If not, forget it. If they can be educated, then stay and correct themselves. There are many jobs here and they are willing to work. It¡¯s hard to say. It turns out that the senior officers in the Jingdong Tongzhou camp talked with the four leaders and found that only Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baoyang were willing to stay, so they would go to the military academy to study first and then stay at the school as instructors. The two Turleng and Ma Yikun let them go back by themselves first. They had a lot of money in their hands and could become rich men in the future. When Li Hongzhang and the others came back, Li Zhenhua immediately discussed with him that the current situation was not very stable. The governors and governors from various places outside were also watching what Beijing would do. Don't let it lead to a war between warlords and HN again. It¡¯s not good, so these old people still have to use it. The experienced Li Hongzhang looked at the situation in front of him. He felt that there was a lot of work to be done, but he didn't understand what Li Zhenhua was thinking. He wanted to know something in his heart, so he carefully said to Li Zhenhua: "General, we have known each other for several years. I know. You have always been dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty and have never been sincere about it. Now that the situation is like this, please tell me clearly how you plan to let this country go in the future." Li Zhenhua asked: "What do you mean?" Li Hongzhang said: "Everyone sitting here is the general's confidant, so let me tell you directly. Do you want to"Do you want to be the emperor yourself? " Li Zhenhua smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't mean to be the emperor. I still say what I said before. I just want to make this country strong so that it will no longer be bullied by those big powers. Let our Chinese nation truly stand tall in this world. " After hearing Li Zhenhua's words, Li Hongzhang nodded, "Then you mean to follow France's approach. " Li Zhenhua said: "It seems that it is not suitable to have a French model now. It is also not suitable to just have two houses of Congress. When something happens, everyone will quarrel together endlessly. This is also not suitable. " "Then how about establishing a constitutional monarchy? " At this time, Xu Shichang couldn't hold back his anger. He immediately said: "I don't agree with the general's statement. Our country has been an imperial country for thousands of years. Now let's turn it into a democratic country immediately, let alone the people. Even I can't adapt. "Those people all nodded in agreement. Li Hongzhang sat there and thought about it for a while and said: "The current situation requires us to come up with a plan immediately and we cannot keep delaying it like this. ". Sun Yuwen said: "No matter what, we need to make a decision, or should we establish an interim government first to settle this matter and then make a final decision? " Li Zhenhua said: "Then let's set up a temporary government first and then make the final decision later. " But Feng Guozhang said: "It can also be temporary. How should the country's top leader be called the president, prime minister, or the emperor? " Text Chapter 403 Governors from various places entered Beijing Text Chapter 403: Governors from various places, support to Beijing Chapter 403: Governors from various places, support to Beijing Chapter 403: Governors from various places, support to Beijing This issue of the state system is really hard to say. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn¡¯t come up with any result. In the end, it was Li Hongzhang. It is proposed that some governors and governors from other provinces be invited to discuss national issues together. Chapter d) Li Zhenhua immediately agreed and everyone else agreed. Several people discussed together and raised some specific questions that they felt should be done immediately. First, they invited governors and governors from various places to come to Beijing to discuss state affairs. Secondly, the bodies of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu were still there. They were already smelly. Those eunuchs and maids have to use a lot of ice cubes every day to cool down. The third is to have an explanation with the ministers of various countries. Blocking information from them for such a long time is not an option. It also has to do with those who participated in the rebellion and those who were behind the party. To deal with it, the state machinery cannot stop operating and all kinds of work must continue. There have been some awareness of the recent situation in the country, but there has been no official news in the capital since the beginning. There are only rumors that a fight has begun. But who is fighting with whom? Some people know it, and some people don't know at all. . Now there is finally news in Beijing. First, Li Zhenhua, Li Hongzhang, Sun Yuwen, Xu Gengshen, Xu Shichang and others sent a message to the governors and governors of various places in Beijing. In the message, they gave them a complete introduction to the current situation in Beijing. And invite all governors and governors to come to Beijing to discuss matters. The first thing that was reflected was the governor of Huguang, Zhang Zhidong, who said he would go to Beijing immediately in response to Beijing's call. Later, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Li Hanzhang, the governor of Liangjiang, Liu Kunyi, and the governor of Xinjiang, Tao Mo, and the governor of Taiwan, Liu Mingchuan, followed closely by the governors and governors from various places who expressed their willingness to go to Beijing. Come to discuss state affairs together. Even the other side expressed support for Beijing's actions. Li Zhenhua, who was in Beijing, was very happy to feel that these people could still put state affairs first, but he immediately felt that the princes and nobles in the northern Mng ancient region did not respond to Beijing's call, and his brows immediately furrowed. The problem in the Mng ancient region It cannot be ignored and must be paid attention to. It is the land of the boss. Seeing Li Zhenhua thinking hard there, Yaqi brought a cup of tea to Li Zhenhua. She gently said to Li Zhenhua: "Have a drink, please be more open-minded about something." "No, this is not a trivial matter." " "What's going on?" "You see, the governors and governors from other places have agreed to come to Beijing, but those ancient princes and nobles have not responded." "You let me go, I have." How to solve this problem." "What can you do? Let me know." "Have you forgotten that I am half of Mng ancient blood?" "Then they will treat me as one of their own. Okay, I'll write another letter to them and tell them about Yuan Shikai's murder of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Emperor. Tell them some of our ideas. It's best to get their support. You go, but you must be careful. If they don't agree, come back. Let's find a way to avoid putting yourself in danger." "Okay, I'll leave right away. I won't let them have other ideas and ruin our event." Yaqi took action immediately and asked her to bring a cavalry guard. She also brought with her the white dragon horse given by the ancient princes and nobles along with a battalion of the first division. The governors and governors from other places soon arrived in Beijing. At the station in Beijing, there were people who were responsible for picking up people every day. Xu Shichang and Feng Guozhang were responsible for it. Zhang Zhidong came to pick up people, and there were more people like Li Zhenhua. , Li Hongzhang, Sun Yuwen, Xu Shichang, Sheng Xuanhuai and others all went there. Several governors such as Liu Kunyi and Li Hanzhang picked up more people. Even Zhang Zhiding, who arrived early, also went to pick up many people. First, they have governors under them and they also have more followers. After Zhang Zhidng and Liu Kun arrived, Li Zhenhua and Li Hongzhang discussed with them and decided to invite Weng Tonghe to join them in discussing some national affairs. When people were sent to find him, the second-generation emperor Weng Tonghe committed suicide. He didn't want to see these people because he felt ashamed, and he also didn't want to work with these people. A few days later, all those people came. The first one to come was Tang Jiong. His post as governor was revoked, so he arrived in Tianjin early as soon as the invitation telegram was sent. He reported some recent situations in the south and Li Zhenhua made a report and told him that the troops and companies in the south firmly supported Li Zhenhua as the supreme leader of China in the future. Although Tao Mo, the governor of Xinjiang, was far away, he came very quickly. When he arrived, he made a report to Li Zhenhua on some situations in Xinjiang.Now his situation is much stronger than before. The entry of large forces into the Sino-Russian War has greatly boosted his transportation and commerce. It also promoted the development of local industry and agriculture. At the same time, due to the opening of trade routes with the west, the development of Karamay has Xinjiang's development has accelerated again, and his fiscal income has increased significantly. As soon as Liu Mingchuan, the governor of Taiwan and Hong Kong, arrived in Beijing, he first went to Li Zhenhua and told him about some of the gratifying changes in Taiwan and Hong Kong in recent years. At the same time, he asked Li Zhenhua to strengthen the naval power of Taiwan and Hong Kong. He was the country's Eastern University. He was determined to do a good job here, but His military strength seemed weak. Li Zhenhua promised that he would give him priority in the future, and Liu Mingchuan happily went to rest. Those governors and governors who were familiar with Li Zhenhua all cordially informed Li Zhenhua about the development of their areas. This made Li Zhenhua very happy that his efforts over the years had not been in vain, and he finally saw some gains. Officials who did not know Li Zhenhua also deliberately tried to win over him, thinking that Li Zhenhua would be the most important figure in the country in the future. It would not work without wooing him. The governor and the governor, except Ronglu and Yuxian, would not come if they were already dead. Those people negotiated with Li Hongzhang to let their chief envoy take charge first. Now that everyone is here, let¡¯s have a meeting first. Li Zhenhua will tell you about Yuan Shikai¡¯s rebellion, killing the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the death of Emperor Guangxu. This made people very angry and at the same time expressed relief that Li Zhenhua had rescued some people. If not If Li Zhenhua took measures in advance, the country's losses would be great. Later, Xu Shichang explained the process of stopping the rebellion. People admired this young general even more. With this sentence of orders, both sides fought desperately for several days to stop the rebellion. This is what Li Zhenhua did. It would be impossible to do that for others. Text Chapter 404 State Funeral Text Chapter 404 State Funeral Chapter 404 State Funeral Chapter 404 State Funeral That Manchu general, Commander Rui Shou, was ruthless enough to kill him whenever he asked, but there was nothing that could be done about it. "Severe punishments are common in the world." Otherwise, it would not last long. It's not good for the country. Besides, isn't it Li Zhongtang who asked people to do this? If it hadn't been for that reason, Li Zhenhua would probably have been more soft-hearted. Forget it, let him die. I won't mention the past things, but I still care. Let¡¯s talk about the funeral. Search on Baidu (type chapters by hand) Let¡¯s first talk about how to deal with the funeral affairs of the two palaces. You can¡¯t just leave them there all the time. Everyone already stinks. Fortunately, there is an electric fan produced by Li Zhenhua that keeps blowing air outside every day. Otherwise, people can still go in. It¡¯s easy to say that it¡¯s a state funeral. Since it¡¯s a state funeral, it shouldn¡¯t be too shabby, so it shouldn¡¯t be too grand so that foreigners won¡¯t laugh at it. But after all, it can¡¯t be like what they prepared themselves. Just throw tens of millions of taels of silver into it and keep everything simple on the original basis. We invited some officials from the original Ministry of Rites to come over and let them simply handle the matter. When those people saw the opportunity to work, they naturally worked hard. Since everything has to be simplified, it will be easy to say that it will be carried out in three days. During the past few days, they continued to discuss other matters. First, they announced the situation of the rebellion to the ministers of various countries so that they could give the accurate information. When the news is sent back to the country, stop spreading some hearsay and gossip. At the same time, some media are also being rectified. They are the mouthpieces of a country. They must speak based on evidence. The embassies of various countries in China have also received reports from China. A note from the interim government gave a brief explanation of what happened in Beijing recently and informed them that the funerals of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu would be held in three days. This was a national funeral, which meant that ministers from various countries would hold a state funeral. They all sent telegrams to the country to inform them of this incident and the current attitude of the Chinese. At the same time, the security guards in front of the embassies of various countries in China have also been withdrawn. This means that China is now basically stable. They are just thinking of other tricks. It's too late now. Everything can only be done by the Chinese people. Nowadays, there are very few troops seen on the streets. Only those who are still wearing old-fashioned military uniforms have put on an armed belt. The police force has a new 1898-style pistol. The new police uniform has been processed day and night by the clothing factory in Dongying. The police force will have a distinctive feature at the state funeral three days later, that is, their heads are already in place. There is no longer that big braid, and all the policemen are bald. This is also a new sight in Beijing, which is an eye-opener for ordinary people, because most of the officials are preparing for the state funeral. Only a few high-ranking senior officials are together. They need to make early arrangements for some of the country's affairs in the future. What will happen after the Qing Dynasty is over is a big problem. Now people's opinions have been divided into two consciousnesses. One is to continue to implement the imperial system, one is to implement the republic, and some people are waiting and watching, but their hearts are also divided into two parts. The ones who are willing to implement the imperial system are those who are closer to Li Zhenhua, and they also include the soldiers under him. They think that since the original Qing Dynasty has been wiped out, we have to be our own emperor and have a strong leader to lead this country to a wealthy country. We cannot learn from Westerners and have a parliament where they quarrel over trivial matters. There is no end to it. Today's country requires a high degree of centralization, with one order and execution across the country. If the whole country were unified, everything would be easier to handle. At the very least, we need to build a constitutional monarchy, which can only be like Germany. The German Emperor has the final say, and he issues instructions to Congress. Some superficial matters are left to Congress. In fact, there are not many people who want to take the road of republic, that is, some people whose original ideas were closer to the reformists, but because the reformists are now too stinky, their ideas are not supported by the majority of people. But Li Zhenhua has never agreed to their proposal and is still discussing with Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others to establish a new national system. What he means is that since the rule has been abolished, why should we create another one? Can't there be some democratic methods in it? Three days soon came. On this day, a "memorial meeting" for Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu was held outside the afternoon. This was also a word that Li Zhenhua came up with, and then a state funeral was held. There was a stage set up in front, with two pictures of the deceased on it, and a white banner hanging on it. Officials from the Ministry of Rites just wrote a few large characters: "Funeral Ceremony of the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu." There are three parts of the surrounding security forces: the original 1,000-man Royal Forest Army, 1,000 people from Wang Gang and Zhang Zhong, and 1,000-man police officers from Cen Xuan. In front of the stage are some envoys from various places and countries below.wreaths, elegiac couplets, etc. Many of the people attending the funeral were the original officials of third rank or above. The ceremony was very simple. The former Minister of Rites presided over the ceremony. First, the original Minister of Rites introduced the lives of the two of them and the Grand Master Li Hongzhang delivered a speech. Then came the final visit to the remains of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu. First, we bowed four times to the remains of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. From now on, people will no longer kneel and kowtow. This is the most fundamental change. Because it had been kept for too long, the remains were not worth seeing. The former officials from the court and central government paid their respects to Li Zhenhua and some ministers in order of rank. At the front were the officials at all levels, and behind them were the family members. (If the reader friend is unwilling, just assume that the protagonist has not appeared. I let the protagonist appear here for political reasons. One is the international impact on the solution of the 2G ancient issue) After the ceremony, troops were sent to send the two of them. They have already prepared the imperial mausoleum. Don't waste money on this thing, just let them use it. After burying it, let people seal it with cement to save it from being destroyed in the future. During her lifetime, Cixi loved pearls, agates, precious stones, utensils, gold and silver utensils. After her death, the treasures buried in her coffin were worth as much as 100 million taels of silver. In June 1928, the Henan warlord Sun Dianying, nicknamed Sun Tzu, surrounded the place and said they were going to conduct military exercises. They dug up the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi in broad daylight. They used engineers to blast open the diamond wall in the underground palace under the Empress Dowager Cixi's palace, opened the passage into the underground palace, broke through the stone wall, and entered the tomb chamber. Text Chapter 405 Public Opinion Poll Text Chapter 405 Public Opinion Poll Chapter 405 Public Opinion Poll Chapter 405 Public Opinion Poll It is said that Sun Dianying¡¯s soldiers who entered the mausoleum were not allowed to wear clothes. They all entered naked. In this way, some people hid food everywhere on their bodies. Some of them were put underneath and brought out. The soldiers who went down took off all the clothes of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Some soldiers were very disrespectful to her. Now they are sealed with cement, which is very respectful. The bottom of the coffin of the Empress Dowager Cixi is covered with a seven-inch-thick brocade mattress woven with gold silk orbs. The lower part is decorated with more than 10,000 large and small pearls, and eighty-five pieces of white gold. There are more than two hundred brocade mattresses. There is a silk mattress embroidered with lotus on top. Two thousand four hundred pearls weighing five cents. Cixi's body was covered with a gold-woven Dharani sutra, made of bright yellow satin and woven with gold, woven with the Chinese characters "Dharani" of 25,000 characters, and decorated with more than 800 pearls. The phoenix crown on his head is inlaid with countless pearls and gems. Just one pearl is worth about one thousand to twenty million taels of silver. The large treasures surrounding the corpse include: Nine Linglong Pagoda, Emerald Buddha, Emerald Watermelon, Grasshopper Cabbage, Red Sapphire, Emerald, Yin Stone, Red Coral Tree, Black Water Mustard and countless others, all of which are missing. The luminous pearl contained in the opening of the Empress Dowager Cixi's tooth was pried open. When separated, it was two transparent and light-free pearls. When they were brought together, it became a round bead that emitted a green cold light that could clearly illuminate a human head within a hundred steps at night. Now that these things have been saved, what Li Zhenhua means is that if the Empress Dowager Cixi has occupied the navy's military expenditures, then all of them should be used for the construction of the navy. Anyway, I am still short of battleships and aircraft carriers, so this is the money. Now that the matter between the two girls was settled and reported in newspapers all over the country, Li Zhenhua sent a letter to Yaqi who was far away in Mnggu to ask her what the ancient princes and nobles thought of this matter. Soon Yaqi's letter came back. Yaqi said that the princes and nobles had no objections to Li Zhenhua and they just wanted to discuss the future situation now. Now after the princes of the Mng Ancient Sixth Division heard about Beijing's movements, they have all gathered in Baotou and actively agreed to be friendly with Beijing. There are now four of them and two are on the sidelines. However, they are not completely opposed. They are just in between. Because we If Russia is defeated, they will not be able to unite with Russia even if they oppose it. There is simply no other way out for them. "Furthermore, Xiao Guoqiang's division has now established a foothold in the north. The infantry has now all become cavalry troops. The troops have also nearly doubled in size. They have controlled the northernmost area. The Russian side is just evading. They have very few troops stationed in those areas, but for the sake of peace in the border areas, I let them continue to defend there. I will talk about the specific situation after I go back. I guess it won't be too long. Good news will be reported soon. of. Furthermore, Xiao Guoqiang's division has now established a firm foothold in the northern part of MNG. Their infantry has now all become cavalry troops. The troops have also nearly doubled to 30,000. Weapons have been deployed from the northeast. He has mobilized the troops. It became ten separate small troops distributed on the long border of MNG. They have completely controlled the northernmost place. The Russian side is just evading. They have very few troops stationed in those areas, but for the sake of peace in the border areas, I let them continue to defend there. I will talk about the specific situation after I go back. I guess it won't be too long. Good news will be reported soon. of. Knowing that there was no problem with the Mng ancient people in the north, Li Zhenhua explained the situation to the officials, which made them feel relieved. Now Li Zhenhua himself has to think carefully about the current problems. Obviously the time for democracy is not mature yet, but restoring the monarchy is obviously not his original wish. He made a comparison between the two systems. Feng Guozhang had already listed this issue for him in the form of a chart. One side is the advantages of this system, the other side is its shortcomings, and the other side is the advantages and disadvantages of another system. shortcoming. The concentration of imperial power is beneficial to the current country. Taking advantage of the current situation, reforms can be started immediately. The shortcoming is that it is impossible to maintain a long-term monarchy after ignoring public opinion. Sooner or later, it will be ousted. ? The democratic system adapts to public opinion and can use public opinion to govern the country. However, it is hard to say what public opinion is now. The people's wisdom has just begun. If any public opinion is revealed, it will delay things. Seeing that Li Zhenhua had been hesitating, Feng Guozhang simply gave him another idea, which was to conduct a public opinion survey to see the opinions of the people across the country. He said that Li Zhenhua could no longer shirk it. At the meeting with the governors and governors, Feng Guozhang expressed this opinion and asked everyone to discuss the results. This opinion was surprisingly unanimous, so Li Zhenhua agreed to this opinion and carried out it nationwide. Opinion polls. The governors and governors from various places immediately made arrangements for the people below, and the results were soon achieved.It came out: 4,377 people were surveyed in Shanghai, 3,763 people agreed with the monarchy, 438 people agreed with the democratic system, and 176 people abstained. Each accounted for 10%, 10% and 4%. "In Zhili and Shanxi provinces, one hundred percent of the people agreed with the imperial system. Ninety percent of the people in Guangdong and Guangxi agree with the imperial system. The three northeastern provinces also have the same meaning. ¡°At this moment, Li Zhenhua was a little dumbfounded. This was a trap. They wanted to make him the emperor. Li Zhenhua knew at a glance that these people had tampered with it, otherwise such a result would not have happened. Now, the imperial system has to be the main one. It seems that these people can't do it without the emperor. Seeing this, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh to himself. A person like me, who has opposed feudalism for two lifetimes, seems to be going to be the emperor. Li Zhenhua returned home with a wry smile. Secretary Jin Xifeng laughed when he saw it. What's wrong with you? Why do you look like this? Li Zhenhua said to her: "It seems that I won't be able to be the emperor this time." He told her about the public opinion polls in various places. Jin Xifeng said: "You are a person under your command who does not need to conduct any public opinion polls at all. They all want you to be the emperor. You will get the same result if you investigate a hundred more times." Text Chapter 406 Government Affairs Council Text Chapter 406 Government Affairs Council Chapter 406 Government Affairs Council Chapter 406 Government Affairs Council "Then what do you mean?" "Of course I don't want you to become some kind of emperor. If you become the emperor, we will have to kowtow when we see you." "You are like this What are you talking about?" Li Zhenhua laughed: "When did I have someone kowtow to me? Don't you know that others may not know it?" Jin Xifeng smiled and went outside to get some water for Li Zhenhua. Arranged to wash his face and rest, then he sat on his lips. Jin Xifeng brought him foot-washing water to wash his feet. Li Zhenhua refused to let him wash his feet and insisted on washing them himself. However, Jin Xifeng had already rolled up his sleeves on a small bench and used it. He tested the temperature with his hands and then gently took Li Zhenhua's feet over and started washing them. Li Zhenhua looked at Jin Xifeng's slender figure and was a little fanciful. He found that because of the three wives Yaqi, Wang Xin and Avna Abil, he felt that his needs for women were much greater. Many times he felt that he had to have them. It's better to stay by your side. When I leave, I feel a little distracted. Now that several people have left, I really miss them. Of course, this is not only a physical need, but I also feel that I don't even have anyone to speak the truth to. Jin Xifeng's enthusiastic service made Li Zhenhua a little distracted, and even his body reflected it. He had the idea of ????taking her in immediately, but he immediately waved his hands twice as if to drive away the thoughts in his mind, and he began to think again. What kind of method should be used to rule this country? If it was put into the hands of others, he was really worried, so he would have to come forward to manage it himself. Thinking about it, he slowly fell asleep Li Hongzhang, Sun Yuwen, Zhang Zhidng, Liu Kunyi and Xu Shichang found these people and knelt down to Li Zhenhua together as soon as they entered the mn. This made Li Zhenhua not sure what to do. He wanted to kneel down to them too, but he really Not used to it, he used his hands to pull them one by one and finally managed to pull them up. d After they sat down, Li Zhenhua became really angry. He said to them: "Don't others know that you guys don't know it? When have I ever knelt down for others? I have already said that we will never kneel down in the future." You are still like this." Seeing that Li Zhenhua was really angry, the old people all said to him with a smile: "It's not that we are willing to kneel down, but you should make up your mind and you can't drag it out like this anymore. You must know that a country cannot be without an owner for a day. It¡¯s been two months now. We can¡¯t go on like this. Just agree to it quickly. Now that the national opinion polls are available, why are you still hesitating?¡± Li Zhenhua said: ¡°I don¡¯t want to take this from the bottom of my heart.¡± Your Majesty, I think this is the case. Then Li Zhongtang will be the emperor. Everyone thinks this is good." Li Hongzhang sat there and shook his head hurriedly: "This is unacceptable, not to mention that General Li is so popular that he is already too old to do the job. If you hadn't allowed me to do so twenty years ago, I would have fought with you." They had already agreed upon it and would not allow Li Zhenhua to say anything more. They joked, "We are also setting up a Chenqiao mutiny for you. The yellow robe has been added, but now there is no emperor above. " Li Zhenhua couldn't push it anymore, so he said to everyone: "You are putting me on the stove to roast, then I will be his emperor for ten years and then we will. Let¡¯s push this country toward democracy. ¡°Everyone agrees that as long as you agree to the things in front of you, we¡¯ll talk about the rest later. Once the country¡¯s system is established and a top leader is established, other things will be easy to talk about. Li Zhenhua proposed that there should first be a supervision mechanism for the emperor. People immediately objected to the idea of ??supervising the emperor? No, this one didn¡¯t pass. So Li Zhenhua proposed to invite several "highly respected" governors to the capital and let them serve as the main members of the State Administration Council. Li Hongzhang was invited to serve as the head of these people, and he would be the prime minister. The Government Affairs Council is composed of seven people: Li Hongzhang, Xu Shichang, Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi, Li Hanzhang, Tang Jiong, and Sheng Xuanhuai. But Li Hanzhang rejected him for a very simple reason: he couldn't let his two brothers be in the Government Affairs Council, which would make people laugh. So Li Zhenhua proposed to add Feng Guozhang. In this way, the seven-member Government Affairs Council is established. They consist of one Prime Minister, Li Hongzhang, and two Deputy Prime Ministers, one is Zhang Zhiding and the other is Xu Shichang. The remaining four people, Liu Kunyi, Tang Jiong, Sheng Xuanhuai, and Feng Guozhang, are considered State Councilors. Now we are setting up some more important ministries: The military is called the Ministry of Military Affairs. They are in charge of the country's army, navy and national security. Let Duan Qirui serve concurrently as the Ministry of Finance: Responsible for the revenue and budget, expenditure and statistics of fiscal and taxation, headed by Xu Shi.?? (Part-time) Ministry of Justice: The formulation of general laws such as criminal law and civil law, as well as subsequent court trials and the final review of execution of various local court sentences, etc., will be held by Wu Tingfang who is our doctor of law? Ministry of Public Security Supervision: Management Public security, household registration, and supervision of officials at all levels are in charge of Cen Xuan. Ministry of Industry, Zhang Zhidong (part-time). Petroleum industry is in charge of Lin Zhiming. Automobile industry is in charge of Zhao Hongyan. Ministry of Agriculture, Sun Wen, Ministry of Commerce, Qiao Zhiyong, Ministry of Education, Liang Qichao, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. : Xue Fucheng serves as the Ministry of Railways and Transport: The construction, management and operation of national railways and highways are headed by Zhan Tianyou. The Ministry of Water Resources: Zhang Jian. The Postal and Telephone Department: Sheng Xuanhuai (part-time). The first eight of the twelve ministerial-level units have now been arranged. Each department must have its own directly affiliated unit. There are no four subordinates behind it. However, if relevant matters are involved, the central government will send personnel or organizations to help with the work. This arrangement left everyone speechless. Li Zhenhua was considered to be out of public interest. These people are relatively outstanding figures in their own fields. Of course, in some people's minds, there must be people who are better than these people. The right person. For example, Feng Guozhang¡¯s Minister of Military Affairs, he and Li Zhenhua have gone through countless battles, not to mention that he is now the leading figure among the original Beiyang warlords. No one among the Three Heroes of Beiyang is as good as him. Needless to say, Zhan Tianyou can be said to be the "Father of Railways" in China. Who can compare with him? Even the Americans and British were convinced by him. Yale University in the United States decided to grant him a doctorate in engineering. In 1894, he was elected to the British Society of Civil Engineers, becoming the first Chinese engineer to join the society. Text Chapter 407 A great talent who works hard all his life Text Chapter 407: A great talent who works hard all his life Chapter 407: A great talent who works hard all his life Chapter 407: A great talent who works hard all his life What a good job. A man in London, England, faced the most powerful British people in the world. He negotiated with them with reasonable grounds and won victory in the southwest, but he almost died of exhaustion. This is basically what the central government agencies are doing. Next, they still have to deal with matters such as the appointment and removal of personnel at all levels across the country. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: They really shouldn't allow themselves to be the top leaders of this country. If they let others do it, they can be lazy. But now I don't have to do that thing myself, but those old foxes can do it. The governors of the following provinces first changed their names to provincial governors and envoys in charge of financial revenue and expenditure, industry, agriculture and commerce, inspectors and envoys in charge of public security, prisons, political education, and education. At the same time, they established some necessary departments or bureaus to correspond to the leaders of the central government. Department mn. The abolition of some of the original prefectural and state government agencies left some intermediate management structures at the regional level with names that are easy to say where modern young cadres are abundant. They can just use them. Some of the abolished prefectural and prefectural chief officials were promoted to the provincial level to handle specific affairs, some went to the regional level to serve as chief officials, and the rest were assigned to various levels. The abolition of the imperial examination system will require each province to first recruit the heads and staff of relevant units. Of course, the current examination can not only test liberal arts, but also test arithmetic, politics, science and technology, etc. Some highly respected personnel can also be directly appointed. Most people happily accepted the top-level arrangement. Only Liang Qichao did not accept it. Many people thought that he was too disrespectful to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua also found it strange, so he decided to go to Liang Qichao's home to talk to him. For a moment Li Zhenhua wanted to know why he didn't accept the appointment. The next day, Li Zhenhua changed into plain clothes and led a few guards out. During this period of time, he was busy with national systems and personnel issues. He rarely came to the streets. In the car, he saw that people had basically settled down. The war-related problems had basically settled down. People are no longer doing their own work. It can be seen from people's facial expressions that most people are already living and working in peace and contentment. All kinds of commercial mn stores are open normally. There are fewer idle people on the street. People are walking much faster. It is not like before where hungry people are everywhere. Some Manchu dudes are all over the street idle and idle. Now there are much fewer people. But these people need to have a good way to deal with it, otherwise it will become a problem in the future. Liang Qichao¡¯s home was in Beigouyan Hutong, which is now the Beixinqiao area of ??Dongcheng District, west of Dongzhimn Nan Xiaojie. The hutong connects Daju Hutong and Dongsisijitiao from north to south, and is more than 300 meters long. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Xuefang Hutong". In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Guanxue Hutong". In the Xuantong period, it was called "Beigouyan". It was named because the alley was close to a ditch. Soon Li Zhenhua arrived at Liang Qichao's house. When the guard called mn, there was a woman immediately. The voice said: "Who is it? You'll be here soon." As soon as the mn rang, a woman wearing a flag uniform opened the big mn. I saw that she was pretty and pretty. I saw that she was a soldier. It was Xinjun. There was a look of panic on her face. Li Zhenhua immediately said to her: "Hello, we are here to see Mr. Liang. Is he at home?" Hearing Li Zhenhua's polite words, she calmed down a lot: "Hurry up at home." Please come in." After saying that, Li Zhenhua opened the big mn and walked into the yard. It was obvious that the yard was not big but it was very neat. Then he saw that Liang Qichao had come out of the back room. He was shocked when he saw Li Zhenhua. He did not expect that Li Zhenhua would come to him. Come home. "How are you doing, Mr. Zhuo Ru, who has not been seen for several months since we parted ways in Fengtian?" Li Zhenhua asked enthusiastically as soon as he saw Liang Qichao come out. "Ashamed, ashamed, I have no face to see the general again. I didn't expect the general to come to his humble abode in person. I don't know what to do." Liang Qichao spoke Cantonese and was a little excited when he saw Li Zhenhua. He spoke a little faster, which made Li Zhenhua a little bit agitated. I can't understand. Mrs. Liang next to her immediately told Li Zhenhua what he said again. Li Zhenhua immediately laughed: "Sir, I should come to visit you as a great talent." Li Zhenhua knew that Liang Qichao was in the eyes of Emperor Guangxu because of his Cantonese. His future was greatly reduced, so he was unwilling to use words to express that he had written many works. Liang Qichao was involved in a wide range of academic research. He made achievements in the fields of philosophy, literature, history, classics, law, religion, etc. His achievements in historical research were the most significant. Liang Qichao worked diligently throughout his life to write Hongfu. He wrote an average of 390,000 words per year for nearly 36 years and political activities took up a lot of time. He wrote more than 14 million words of various writings every year. He has a variety of collections of works, the most complete of which was "The Ice Drinking Room Collection" published on September 11, 1936. "The Ice Drinking Room Collection" totals 148 volumes and more than 10 million words. His wife Li Huixian is also a very talented woman. She usually appears as his translator, and her task is to help him "translate from Chinese to Chinese." Li Zhenhua thought that such a great talent, Emperor Guangxu, actually refused to use him. It must also be a kind of sadness for the Qing Dynasty. If we don't use him anymore, wouldn't we be on the same level as Guangxu? Several people came to the room. Li Huixian served them tea. She sat aside to prepare and do her translation work. In fact, Li Zhenhua didn't need her. He had stayed in the south for many years. Moreover, in his previous life, he often thought he could understand. Although he is proud of the languages ????of various places, ordinary language still cannot stump him. So they started talking, and they talked about a lot of things. But his thoughts on taxation were very inspiring to Li Zhenhua. He advocated that tax collection must be based on the principle of serving the people and implement a light tax and flat tax policy, and opposed the traditional view of "taxing to meet the needs of the people" that competes with the people for profits. It is pointed out that "Westerners will exempt from taxation the things necessary for people's daily life to facilitate the people. China takes advantage of the people's urgency and imposes heavy taxes, such as the salt policy. There are also good laws and good intentions by the West for the convenience of the people, but China regards them as aid. If the plan works, it will cause serious trouble to the current postal service." He proposed that we should imitate the British and implement a flat tax policy to facilitate and benefit the people and then strive to become rich and powerful. This was a view that put economic development first and fiscal taxation as its basis, which had positive significance for the development of China's capitalist industry and commerce at that time. Text Chapter 408 Speaking in the same voice and simplifying Chinese characters Chapter 408 of the text Chapter 408 of the same voice and simplified characters Chapter 408 of the same voice and simplified characters Liang Qichao believes that public debt is also a kind of taxation. The difference is that "taxation is directly levied on the present, while public debt is a tax." "Indirectly and endowed to the future" "It's just a partial analysis of the obligations we have today to leave to our descendants." But he admitted that public debt has a positive significance for economic construction. "If taxes do their best for one time, public debt will reduce their power many times." Therefore, he believes that although public debt increases the burden on future generations, it is also beneficial to future generations. So the two discussed this aspect again. The time soon came for lunch. Li Zhenhua's guards saw that Li Zhenhua was not going to leave. They went outside and ordered food for them. They continued to get up until it was evening. Li Zhenhua stopped when he saw that it was already dark. After coming down, Li Zhenhua finally said to Liang Qichao: "It seems that you and I still have a lot to talk about. How about we work together and continue to discuss these issues at work." Liang Qichao immediately replied happily this time: "Okay, let's Let's work together to build this country better." Li Zhenhua added: "But you have to find a way to unify the national language and come up with a standard language. Then everyone can communicate in the language. It¡¯s much more convenient. This is of great benefit to the country.¡± ¡°Yes, there has been a saying since the Qin Dynasty that cars are on the same track and characters are in the same shape. It would be more perfect if we say the same thing.¡± If our country is good, it is also good for the world. " "That's your business. But I can give you an idea. Let people learn the pinyin alphabet of our Chinese language and then use them to spell the correct pronunciation. Then we can use language to communicate, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Yes, why didn¡¯t I think of it before posting it?¡± ¡°We can use the pronunciation of English letters so that people can easily understand it, and then simplify some traditional Chinese characters. Simplifying Chinese characters and promoting them across the country will be of great benefit to the development of Chinese characters in the future. ""Okay, I'll do it right away, then you can leave quickly." Liang Qichao became anxious as soon as he mentioned the work and ordered Li Zhenhua to be kicked out. . When Li Zhenhua saw that he was eager to start working, he asked the guards to leave. Li Zhenhua and the guards left. Li Huixian smiled at Liang Qichao and said: "My lord, you are really capable. You actually gave the emperor an order to expel guests. You are really unprecedented. I'm afraid you will never do it again." "General Li doesn't care about this, does he?" "That kind of person." "But you can't be like this anymore. It's someone else's business, so you can't be rude." "My lady is teaching me a lesson. Don't tell me. I'm going to start working. Don't tell me." Even the emperor dares to teach you, don¡¯t make me angry.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see Mr. Li talk to you about your appointment today, and I didn¡¯t see you rejecting it, so that¡¯s how you agreed?¡± "Master Li's personality is so impressive that I can't help but think of rejecting him. He didn't mention it at all. But I have to go to work tomorrow. I must complete his standard words and traditional Chinese characters." Simplifying work is also one of my wishes." Li Huixian also said: "I originally thought that he was just a warrior who won some battles by virtue of his status as a consort, but I didn't expect that he had such a wealth of knowledge that people had no choice but to do it. "I admire him." "Yes, it turns out that none of the officials in the court know the general trend of the world. But he not only knows the national conditions of China, but is also very familiar with the situation in foreign countries. Those Westernizers and reformers cannot be reconciled. Under the leadership of this man, it would be difficult for China, which he compares with, to become rich and powerful. This is the blessing of the common people and the blessing of China. If you look at his caliber, I am just a scholar. It is hard to believe that he came to visit with such a distinguished status. Ah." "As the saying goes, if you die for your best friend, it seems that you will give the rest of your life to him." "That's not what Mr. Li said. He said that he dedicated his life to making this country strong and strong. Get rich, let the people get rich, and never be bullied by the big powers. I just learned from him and joined his ranks." Liang Qichao was a man of action. He started his work immediately. He put down his pen and started working. While taking a pen and starting to work, he wanted to think about everything about education. The original Capital University was preserved by the New Government. In Beijing alone, there is now a Capital University and the Xinghua Group Company was established. of medical school. There is already a university in Fengtian in Northeast China, which I have seen before. In addition, Xinghua Group Company has also established many universities in various places, and they are now under the Ministry of Education. This is not enough but moreIn each province and region where conditions permit, some prefectures, prefectures, and counties with universities should be established, and some new primary schools should also be established in villages with middle schools. In the future, if the imperial examination system at all levels is no longer available, useful talents must be selected from new schools to build this huge country. The main problem now is that there are too few teachers. Some capable people with both ability and political integrity must be sent to education. Don't hire some foreigners to enrich the teaching team. Some people don't like the job of being the king of children, so give them some nominal honors to promote the entire education work. You don¡¯t have to worry about the funding issue for now. Mr. Li said that more than five percent of the annual income should be used for education every year. It is not a small matter to improve the knowledge level of the whole people. It shows how much Mr. Li cares about himself. Attention. Then what should we issue to each province first? If it¡¯s not called Shangyu, it¡¯s not called Tingji, so let¡¯s call it notice. And the original name of the Capital University was too tacky. Let¡¯s just call it ¡°Peking University¡±. Alas, I didn¡¯t expect that I still have a lot of work. It seems that I have to stay up late again today. However, staying up late today is the most meaningful in my life. Liang Qichao was busy all night. After dawn, he went to work with his own plan. Of course His personal translator will also go with him. Each department is making its own plans, preparing to report to the new leaders and then start its own work. They are all busy here. Several leaders of the Government Affairs Council also need to study the next work issues. In other words, they must How to announce the situation in China to the world. Text Chapter 409 The Chinese Empire Text Chapter 409 The Chinese Empire Chapter 409 The Chinese Empire Chapter 409 The Chinese Empire The first thing is that the original Qing government has collapsed. Now what kind of country name do we want to appear in the world? These people have almost the same meaning, that is The name "Chinese Empire" was used and there was no more suitable name, so Li Zhenhua agreed to use the name of the Chinese Empire. The following is when the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China will be held. Li Zhenhua thought for a while and said: "This time is best in autumn or when the weather is the best, otherwise it will be too cold or too hot. If there is some kind of rally or something like that, then The common people will suffer a lot." Li Hongzhang immediately said: "It happens to be autumn and it is October in the Gregorian calendar. The weather is good, but the time is too tight. We have to notify all countries in the world and they have to send envoys. It¡¯s too late to congratulate them. I think we might as well hold the founding ceremony and the new emperor¡¯s enthronement ceremony in April next year.¡± Everyone thought about it and agreed, so it was scheduled for the 19th year of the Gregorian calendar. On April 1, the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor were held. Then there is the collection work on the national flag, national anthem, national emblem and other things. So there was an open call for various patterns in newspapers. Three days later, the ministers from various ministries gathered together again. They all had plans for their next work. Looking at their looks, it was clear that they had not rested in the past few days. They all seemed to have lost weight, and their eyes were bloodshot. Zhan Tianyou is doing better. It seems that his work is on the right track. Li Hongzhang and Li Zhenhua saw that they were a group of desperate people. If this continued, how could they withstand it? If we can't continue like this, then it's okay. Li Zhenhua immediately started to speak: "Everyone, if you continue like this, you will soon be exhausted. Then how can we carry out our work? You all know that this body is the capital of work. If our bodies are exhausted, our work will be greatly compromised. You all know that the reform reforms at that time failed due to eagerness for quick success. We cannot do this now. We must have a complete plan. I believe that yours is the same as ours. The subordinates have studied your future work well together, so please take a three-day rest and make up for the lost sleep." Li Zhenhua raised his butt and was about to leave. Everyone became anxious when they saw that he was leaving. They all got together. Said: "This is not possible. You know that we have all been holding back our energy to do our jobs well. We are all eager to report to you. If you let us rest for three days, it will be really difficult. We are so anxious." When Li Hongzhang saw that people were really anxious, he said, "Then tell me about your work arrangements." When people saw the Prime Minister speaking, they all wanted to make a report first. Li Hongzhang said again: "That won't work. We can only study some departments first. Let's not get together today. Let's let a few departments do it first." Duan Qirui was about to go first. Li Hongzhang immediately expressed his disagreement and said : "A country's military problems cannot be solved in a short while. Let's start with the education work. Please ask Minister Liang Qichao to leave the others and wait for the call." Li Hongzhang finally persuaded the ministers to leave. Please give Liang Qichao a report first. Liang Qichao's plan was written in more than 20,000 words. He put a lot of effort into his preparation, from the regional settings of universities, middle schools and primary schools to the departmental settings of some schools. He gave detailed explanations on ideological education. He gave detailed explanations on science and technology education. In addition, he also made some explanations about vernacular, simplified Chinese, and standard Chinese. Some people raised different opinions. Liang Qichao immediately said: "You won't want to talk with someone with an accent like mine. We just need to unify them." Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, proposed the practice of using cars on the same track and characters with the same shape. Shouldn¡¯t we have made some progress more than a thousand years later? " Li Hongzhang took the lead in applauding. Are we going to let people in remote areas talk about it separately? language? Can't we make some reforms? People were very satisfied with his report. They only put forward some constructive suggestions for his work without making much changes. Liang Qichao went back to do specific work. Sun Yuwen said to Li Zhenhua: "It seems that we used this Liang Qichao correctly. Look at how detailed he prepared it. I believe he will do a good job in this educational work." "Li Zhenhua saw that the older people were a little tired and said: "The older people are already tired today. How about we continue tomorrow?" Li Hongzhang immediately said: "No, we have to. Hurry up. If we don't hurry up with so much work, why don't we call Duan Qirui right away and ask him to report on the military aspects? If there is no military guarantee for us,The country cannot do that. " Li Zhenhua agreed. The guards immediately called Duan Qirui. After all, he was a soldier and he rushed over immediately. As soon as he came in, he saluted the leaders of the Government Affairs Council and then sat down and started his report. He mainly said In the future, there will be issues with the organization of the national army and new equipment. The country should now establish sixteen standing divisions. Our troops now total: a capital guard division under Zhao Xiaofeng in Beijing. In the northeast, there are now two cavalry divisions under Zhang Zuolin and Qin under Li Biao. Guangming's infantry division, Duan Qirui's original artillery division, mng's two ancient divisions from Xiao Guoqiang, Dongying's Zhang Youming's division, Hankou's original New Army of 7,000 people under Zhang Zhidong, and two mng ancient cavalry divisions from the northwest are now stationed in Kazakhstan In the southwest, there are currently three divisions of Zhang Xinghua stationed in Annan and other places, one division of Liu Yongfu stationed in the Philippines, two divisions of Indonesian Wei Xiaohu, two divisions of North Korea, and one regiment of Persia. In addition, the navy has Beiyang Fleet, Nanyang Fleet, Fujian Fleet, and Guangdong Fleet. The total number of Deng Shichang's fleet plus the Marine Corps is 10,000. The other arms: armored force, airship force, air force, and submarine force total 5,000 people. In addition, there are some 80 Qing troops that have not yet been reorganized. With a total strength of 1.1 million people, only more than 300,000 people can actually fight. This is all the wealth in the country. But most people here know that there is nothing surprising. But now it is mainly. The problem is not here. The question is what to do with the original armies? Text Chapter 410 Military Reform of the Navy Main Text Chapter 410 The Military Reform of the Navy Chapter 410 The Military Reform of the Navy Chapter 410 The Military Reform of the Navy Duan Qirui went on to express his own opinions (except for the navy) on the handling of the original military. We give them most of the Jobs were arranged for people to work in factories and enterprises all over the country so that they could support their families. Only a small number of people were left to study in military academies and become officers of the new army when they came back. Hands on point d There are also some soldiers who will join the police force to work. Their salaries have been increased to a certain extent. It is estimated that most people will not have any objections, but it is not ruled out that there are some people here who will be unconvinced and may want to cause trouble. Then we We have to do some work for them. If it still doesn't work, we have to deal with them seriously. After listening to Duan Qirui¡¯s introduction, people also thought it was very satisfying. If they were not satisfied, there would be nothing to say. Regarding the formation of new troops, Duan Qirui said: "Since we have to recover a large amount of land from the Northeast, we have to form three more divisions. The soldiers of these troops must be recruited from the Northeast because they will face severe cold in the future. The weather conditions in the south were not adaptable to the soldiers in the south. "So Duan Qirui's military work was passed. It was already late and everyone had gone back. Li Zhenhua left Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui behind. He wanted to continue discussing some issues with them. The army issue was easy to talk about. The key was to talk about the construction of the navy. In today's world, giant ships and artillery are the main direction of development, but Li Zhenhua is unwilling to follow their old path. He wants to go his own way. His current plan is to build an aircraft carrier in the air. He wants to use aircraft to deal with incoming attacks. If the enemy is underwater, he will use submarines to deal with their invasion. Now the three of them are strong in land warfare, but they are not good at naval tactics, so Feng Guozhang said: "If we want to study this problem, we still have to invite the navy generals to study together, but now we can decide first The next plan is to have our forward thinking. " Duan Qirui also agreed with Feng Guozhang's idea, so Li Zhenhua agreed with them and asked them to invite Deng Shichang and Ding Ruchang, and they would conduct research together. The question of how we will expand our navy in the future. So Duan Qirui was asked to inform several powerful figures from the Navy to come to Beijing. At the same time, he asked them to gather together shipbuilding experts from across the country and the principals of relevant naval schools to specialize in the manufacture of new naval equipment. and research. For several days, Li Zhenhua and the Prime Minister, Vice Prime Minister and State Councilors of the Government Affairs Council listened to the work of each ministry and asked them to start doing it boldly. These people were very motivated and immediately devoted themselves to their work. went. Li Zhenhua also dedicated time to seriously carry out the construction of the navy. The navy was a high-tech service in the original era. People often say that an uneducated army is a stupid army. Several of his generals know this truth. However, it is difficult to say this clearly because people's cultural level is relatively low, so the current senior navy generals are all "returnees". Most of them graduated from naval academies in the United Kingdom, Germany, or the United States. Their combat ideas have traces of the countries they studied to a large extent. But I estimate that my new ideas will not be approved by them now because their thoughts are closely following the trend of world shipbuilding. They firmly believe that the future development direction of warships is to use large cannons and giant ships to conduct confrontation at sea. People from all walks of life in naval operations, manufacturing, logistics, and schools gathered in Beijing. They admired the saviors of their navy very much. The founders of the navy were Zuo Zongtang, Shen Baozhen, Li Hongzhang and other former ministers of the Qing Dynasty, but they were really It was Li Zhenhua who saved the navy. If it weren't for him, China's navy would have been gone. So when Duan Qirui proposed to them to build an "aircraft carrier", the naval generals, shipbuilding experts, and principals of various schools all showed disapproval. When the three bosses in the army saw this, Duan Qi really agreed. After Rui's words, Li Zhenhua immediately informed them to prepare for a military exercise in Lushun and attack Lushun Port with the navy's main fleet without arguing with them. At the same time, all participants in the meeting are required to attend and observe. This was not mentioned, just carry out the exercise. The naval generals did not think deeply, but what Duan Qirui said later made them startled. There were no submarines defending the port, but there were air forces and airship units. They wanted to bomb the warships. This could make them Their spirits immediately lifted. Ten days later, Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and others came to Lushun. Li Zhenhua first visited those old friends and told them that he would be on a warship tomorrow.?With them, they attacked the port side and the defensive side was commanded by Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and Sa Zhenbing. Duan Qirui was in charge of the defense of the coastal artillery section, but Feng Guozhang and Sa Zhenbing went to the Air Force and Airship Force to meet with their commanders and said to them: "Tomorrow you will kill those enemies who dare to invade. I'll sink them and teach them a lesson." The air force and airship forces have already received instructions and prepared corresponding bombs and torpedoes for them. The bombs are made of ceramic shells filled with white ash, and the torpedoes are new torpedoes. The head is just a small device, as long as it can explode a big splash to indicate that the warship has been hit by a torpedo. The soldiers of those new military services are very happy that they are the little brothers of the entire army. They made great contributions in the battle against the Russian army. However, no one can look up to them because the army is still the big brother now. Now they are finally there again. Now that they can show off their skills, it would be very boring to train every day and not be able to fight once. Gao Xiang and the others said they must blow up and sink the "enemy" warships. The next morning, Deng Shichang commanded his battleship and three warships to rush towards the port of Lushun. He also made some preparations. He modified and installed some anti-aircraft cannons and heavy machine guns on the warships to protect himself and increase the ability of air attacks. At the same time, the personnel also asked the useless personnel to go down to the cabin. The warships at sea sounded a shrill siren. The warships were already ready. They were about to fire on the shore. Since they had already agreed in advance that there would be no submarines on the other side, only the air force was added, which naturally made them feel a lot more relaxed. They began to use blank ammunition. Shred targets on shore. Text Chapter 411 The First Shipbuilder in China Text Chapter 411 The First Person in China's Shipbuilding Chapter 411 The First Person in China's Shipbuilding Chapter 411 The First Person in China's Shipbuilding But they only conducted a salvo and then the lookout at the highest point discovered that " The enemy's planes and airships were seen rushing down towards them desperately. After getting closer, they began to drop bombs on their warships. The heavy machine guns on the planes were also firing at the targets on the warships. d The anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns on the warship immediately began to fire into the air, but the "enemy" plane lowered its altitude and rushed towards them, throwing those small bombs on the deck and immediately aboard the warship. The sailors were all covered in white. The sailors were also beaten and turned around. The airships behind them were carrying big guys. When they saw the big guys hanging underneath them, the officers and soldiers on the warship knew that they were some torpedoes. They were coming. The torpedoes were dropped from the side of the warship. The current aerial tactics are such that aircraft attack in the vertical direction of warships, while those airships attack from their sides. As they got closer to the warship, the torpedoes under them were dropped. The torpedo drew a line of white lng flowers and rushed directly towards the warship. The warship was in the middle of an offensive operation at this time. Their speed was not fast. Facing the torpedoes that were rushing towards them, they It was too late to evade. Soon a torpedo exploded on the side of the warship and a column of water rushed onto the deck. Twenty minutes later, the exercise was over. Deng Shichang looked at the white marks on the warship with a livid face. He ordered the officers to conduct a damage inspection. The cruiser "Dongshan" was hit by more than a dozen small bombs. There were white dust everywhere, and there were two more. If the torpedo hits a real combat warship, it may not be saved. The "Tianshan" was also hit by two torpedoes and small bombs, which was a little different. The other warship "Songshan" was lucky to be hit by only one torpedo and a dozen small bombs. If it were an actual battle, all of our warships would have been accounted for. When they arrived at the original Beiyang Navy Headquarters, both sides reported their losses. Captain Gao Xiang said: "The brothers in the Navy have been so exhausted that we don't dare to rush down. If we really fight, we will probably be able to survive." There are less than half of the aircraft left." Deng Shichang also summarized the exercise and said: "Fortunately, the defensive side does not have the support of the submarine force. If we have them again, it will be even worse for us. Everything bad will be left to you. It's all taken care of." The warship designers were also shocked that the warships they had designed so hard were so vulnerable to the "enemy" attack. It was really unimaginable. The instructors in the school are now beginning to think deeply about what the future war will look like. Is our navy really not good enough? What should the future teaching direction be? Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "What we saw today is the future of war. Our enemies may attack us from the air, sea and bottom. Although some maritime powers are still continuing to use their giant ships and cannons, But we cannot follow their path. We must take our own path and build the latest aircraft carriers and a large number of submarines. Now we must form our own naval aviation force to use our aircraft carriers to carry our aircraft to fight enemy warships. If we really see the enemy's warships being destroyed in our hands during the battle, I think you will be very happy. " "Brothers, we are ahead of the enemy on the battlefield. If we fall behind, we will be beaten. "Isn't this what our army and navy were like in the past?" His words cheered up the dejected naval officers. The commander-in-chief always had to perform superhumanly on the battlefield. He never followed common sense. Playing cards has always been about winning by surprise and using your own new equipment to attack the enemy. If we have an aircraft carrier that can reach the ocean, we will no longer be afraid of the giant ships and cannons of the great powers. They have been wiped out by us before they even see us. They can only feel inferior in front of their own naval aviation. Then they will Beaten for falling behind. Li Zhenhua immediately ordered the deployment of naval designers from all over the country to Beijing. Naval ship experts from Lushun, Shanghai, Fujian, and Fangcheng reported to Beijing recently to design first and then submit them to the Ministry of Military Affairs for approval. The Air Force's aircraft also need to be further improved so that they can carry more Use more and bigger bombs to attack the enemy. Improvements also need to be made in terms of bombs. Those small bombs are of no use against warships, and airships are not ideal for attacking warships, so more, better, and larger aircraft are needed to complete the attack on warships. On the way back, Li Zhenhua told the staff around him that a person asked him to send special personnel to the United States to find a Chinese named Feng Ru. This man was about fifteen years old. After he was found, he must be asked to go back to the country. He was so protective that he wanted to see this person in person, Feng Qing, or it was still an old habit. He had neverAsk Li Zhenhua why he can just execute it. A few days later, Chinese shipbuilding experts came to Fangcheng to study Shi Shi, Qiao Delu, David Smith, and Esmir. In addition, there was an old man from Fujian who also came to study Shi Shi and introduce it to Li Zhenhua. He was a man in China. Wei Han and Li Zhenhua, who are famous in the history of shipbuilding, immediately went up to him and shook hands with him as soon as they saw him. Lian said: "It is really embarrassing for an elderly working person to come to Beijing Zhenhua." Li Zhenhua¡¯s words are definitely not flattery. Wei Han (5929), named Ji Zhu, is a famous shipbuilding expert in modern China from the eastern suburbs of Fuzhou, Fujian. In 2010, Wei Han was admitted to the first phase of Fuzhou Shipbuilding Academy to study shipbuilding. Wei Han's hard work and hard work ranked among the best in the academy. After graduation in 1871, he was assigned to work in the shipbuilding shipyard. In 1875, the shipping director Yige returned to France to purchase machinery and equipment. Wei Han and three other people accompanied him to study abroad. Due to their outstanding achievements in study, they were evaluated by Li Fengbao as "courageous and diligent". After completing his studies and returning to China in 1879, he served as the Chief Shipbuilding (Chief Engineer) of the Department of Shipping Engineering. In December 2000, he was ordered to go to Germany to supervise the construction of the "Dingyuan" ship. After returning to China for two years, he participated in the construction of the "Kaiji" and then presided over the construction of China's first steel armored ship "Longwei" (ie "Pingyuan ship"). It has made an indelible contribution to the development of China's shipbuilding industry. Since the 1890s, Fujian Shipbuilding has been declining due to depletion of funds. Wei Han left Fujian Shipbuilding this summer. During his shipbuilding period, Wei Han presided over and participated in the construction of "Kaiji", "Henghai", "Jingqing", Twelve warships including "Huantai", "Guangjia", "Guangyi", "Guangbing", "Guanggeng", "Longwei", "Fujing", "Tongji" and "Fu'an" are really It can be said that he is the number one shipbuilder in China. Text Chapter 412: Aircraft Carrier Discussion Text Chapter 412 Discussion of Aircraft Carrier Chapter 412 Discussion of Aircraft Carrier Chapter 412 Discussion of Aircraft Carrier Wei Han can be said to be the most experienced shipbuilding expert in China. How could Li Zhenhua be unhappy? 8 Rapid Updates After everyone sat down, Li Zhenhua told everyone about the recent exercise in Lushun. Everyone here already knows the situation. In the face of attacks from the air, they believe that the only way to install more anti-aircraft weapons on warships is to install them. For defense, such as sh cannons and high-sh heavy machine guns, they are designing shields. Li Zhenhua said to these experts: "I am not asking you to design a shield now, but I am asking you to design a better aircraft carrier, that is, an aircraft carrier for long-range attacks." Upon hearing this, the experts were even more stunned. The good Mao himself had never seen it before, so Li Zhenhua drew everyone the drawings of aircraft carriers he knew in later generations. The deck was lengthened to facilitate the take-off and landing of aircraft, and the aircraft could be placed and stored below. Gao Xiang of the Air Force said: "Now our aircraft can take off and land with only a few tens of meters, but we need to consider that larger aircraft may need longer runways in the future, so we will have to make the deck longer. It is estimated that in the Two hundred meters is enough." After seeing Li Zhenhua's drawings and listening to the Air Force's introduction, people began to think. Some designers began to write and draw on the paper, and some were whispering. After a while, Wei Han added a piece of paper in his hand to Li Zhenhua looked at it and said, "You can say this is what it means, and then you can further improve it." However, Fangcheng's Study Tour Shi, Qiao Delu, David Smith, and Esmir came up with another idea. It is suggested that we first use a cargo ship to refit and conduct a test. This can also be used to train our naval aviation, and it can also save some costs. If there is no training ship, it will be impossible, which will delay the time to form combat effectiveness. Now that we have the training ship, we can conduct training first and wait for the formation of the aircraft carrier. Li Zhenhua thought their proposal was very good, so he let them implement it like this. He immediately selected a captured Japanese cargo ship for modification. At the same time, he asked the Navy to form its own aviation force. First, he seconded some pilots and aircraft from the Air Force to serve as instructors. Now they are the best pilots. I also have no experience taking off from a warship. But Wei Han made a suggestion. He said: "Now we start building aircraft carriers and cancel the plan to build battleships. I have no objection, but I think we still need to have some large cruisers of our own. Our aircraft carriers are only used to attack the enemy from a long distance." If the enemy's warships are at close range, it will not work against the enemy's giant ships. Therefore, I think it would be most perfect if it had its own fleet to escort it. "Yes, not all maritime powers in later generations are like this. Did it appear in the form of an "aircraft carrier" battle group? The aircraft carrier battle group is the most basic organization of the U.S. Navy¡¯s main fleet. With a large aircraft carrier as the core, it integrates naval aviation, surface ships and submarines. It is a sea-air integrated mobile combat force that highly combines air, surface and underwater combat forces. It has the characteristics of flexible mobility, strong comprehensive combat capabilities, and good deterrence effect. They It can carry out all-weather, large-scale, high-intensity continuous operations on the vast ocean far away from military bases. Although the aircraft carrier can project a large amount of air force, the defense capability of the carrier itself is weak. Therefore, other ships, including surface and underwater ships, are needed to provide protection. The division of labor in an aircraft carrier battle group can be seen as the aircraft carrier performing specific combat missions while other ships protect the aircraft carrier. Each aircraft carrier battle group is different, but now a US military aircraft carrier battle group basically consists of the following ships: One or more aircraft carriers: Aircraft carriers provide the US government with many mission options, from simple displays of force to targeting various air, ground or underwater targets There are attacks. Aircraft carriers also eliminate the need for aircraft to worry about using airports, waterways, and airspace in other countries. Aircraft carriers can also provide long-term support to other forces. The aircraft carrier is the flagship of the fleet and is commanded by a rear admiral with advanced combat systems and communications equipment. Cruisers: Two guided missile cruisers. Currently it is a Ticonderoga-class (cg47) cruiser equipped with the Aegis combat system. The two cruisers serve as the escort center of the aircraft carrier battle group and provide multiple combat capabilities such as air defense, anti-ship and anti-submarine. There are also Tomahawk cruise missiles on the ship that have the ability to strike ground targets at long range. Destroyers: Two to three guided missile destroyers. The Arleigh Burke-class (ddg51) guided missile destroyers currently in service also use the Aegis combat system. These destroyers assist the cruisers in the fleet to expand the scope of the defense circle and are used for air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship operations. Anti-submarine ship: An anti-submarine frigate. Currently in service is the Perry-class (ffg7) guided missile frigate. Submarines: Two attack nuclear-powered submarines. Currently in service are Los Angeles-class submarines. Used to support fleets on the surface orIt is the warning and combat of underwater targets. Supply ship: A supply ship. The attack and defense capabilities of a U.S. aircraft carrier battle group are now very complex. Roughly speaking, fighter attack aircraft, early warning aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft or helicopters carried by the aircraft carrier are used to attack, defend or search for enemies hundreds of kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. Other combat ships have the first task of protecting the aircraft carrier's safety, followed by supporting the aircraft carrier's attack missions and responsible for the search and rescue of personnel. Wei Han is an expert in shipbuilding after all. He looks at problems comprehensively. So Li Zhenhua said to him: "Your suggestion is very correct. An aircraft carrier must be surrounded by a group of cruisers, destroyers, and submarines to protect it. After all, its combat effectiveness is much worse than that of a battleship." Seeing that Li Zhenhua was able to Jian Ruliu Wei Han also let him go and poured out all his ideas. He drew on the paper and placed the aircraft carrier in the middle. Then he drew four cruisers, four destroyers and four ships next to him. Two submarines. Li Zhenhua agreed very much with his design and added two more supply ships to it. If there are so many warships to protect it, we will have fewer warships for combat. This requires us to invest a certain number of warships. The original warships must also be modified so that their speed can reach the speed of an "aircraft carrier." The speed of some of the original cruisers must be at least twenty-five knots, and the speed of some of the original cruisers cannot reach the speed of the destroyers. The performance is also unsatisfactory and needs to be rebuilt. Text Chapter 413 Re-deployment to the Navy Text Chapter 413 Re-deployment of the Navy Chapter 413 Re-deployment of the Navy Chapter 413 Re-deployment of the Navy In addition, there are also problems with the Navy's subordinates. That is, the locations of the two naval forces in Nanyang and Fujian also need to be adjusted. The Beiyang Navy and Deng Shichang's fleet also need to be adjusted. After the merger, there will be more warships and some warships can be transferred to other fleets. The Nanyang Navy in Guangzhou has a heavy responsibility and their warships rarely need to be strengthened. Now we can consider changing the names of each navy. The original Beiyang Navy merged with Deng Shichang's fleet, and it was called the North Sea Fleet. It was stationed in Weihai and Xiaguan, and the navy commander Deng Shichang concurrently served as the commander of the North Sea Fleet. The navy in Guangzhou can be called the South Sea Fleet in the future. Lin Yongsheng was stationed as the commander of the fleet in Guangzhou and Manila in the Philippines. Nanyang and Fujian were combined to form the Taiwan Fleet. The stations were stationed in Taiwan and Zhoushan, and Liu Buchan was appointed as the commander of the Taiwan Fleet. ¡°The scope of protection we are now responsible for has expanded, and the scope of the navy should also be expanded. If Vladivostok returns in the future, the area will be even larger, and the navy's protective area will have to be further expanded. So what should Ding Ruchang do? The problem is that Ding Ruchang's health has not been very good recently, but having to work on a warship for a long time is not good for his health. So let him go to work. Let him go to Taiwan to be the governor. Send Liu Mingchuan, the former Huai Army veteran, to Kuye. Let's go and be the governor. There should be no problem for Liu Aluminum in the future construction. With his experience in Taiwan, he will definitely be able to do a good job. Based on the needs, we should build another batch of warships. We should first build our own "aircraft carrier" battle group and then make final adjustments. After comprehensive consideration, Li Zhenhua decided to place the design work of the navy in Beijing, production and construction in Lushun, Tianjin, Shanghai, Fujian and Fangcheng. The construction of the first aircraft carrier was in Lushun and the remaining three 7,000-ton cruisers were built. Just put one in Fangcheng, Fujian, and Shanghai. The blueprints for building new destroyers in Tianjin were given by Beijing. There is also the issue of deck steel. Currently, Krupp armor is the best. The nickel-chromium-manganese alloy surface carburized hardened steel manufactured by the German Krupp Company in 1893 immediately overwhelmed all other countries in the world. The armor was equivalent to the 125-thickness of the then-latest American Harvey armor, which was equivalent to the 208-thickness of the armor. Before 1895, the steel composite armor invented by the British based on Schneider steel, which was commonly used around the world, became the leader in the field of armor in this era. The highest achievement enabled the German warships to have good protection capabilities. Since he had taken the initiative in the negotiations with Haijing and Dietrich, the Germans were willing to sell their warship steel plate technology, so Li Zhenhua said to Wei Han: "This The Germans helped us solve the problem and we can now produce the best warship armor steel plates in the world." This made Wei Han very excited. He hurriedly said: "If we master German armor technology, we can lead the world again. If we get ahead, we will not fall behind or be beaten." Li Zhenhua said to Wei Han: "From now on, you can work in Beijing and I will leave everything related to design to you. If you have any problems in life, just tell me. He said that he must provide you with a comfortable working environment and design the warship as soon as possible. The navy can provide you with any information you need. The navy is your home. " Wei Han added: "I want to tell you about the Lushun factory. It¡¯s better to have someone who is capable and influential as the factory director.¡± ¡°Who do you want to be the factory director?¡± ¡°I said you can disagree.¡± ¡°You can tell who it is. I will definitely respect your opinion." "Prime Minister Li Hongzhang's beloved son-in-law Zhang Peilun." Li Zhenhua knows Zhang Peilun and has met him several times. He knows that he is a capable person who only took the blame for the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu. After being dealt with for more than ten years, he is no longer the Qing Dynasty general he was before. He appears to be very experienced in handling matters. So Li Zhenhua agreed to Wei Han's request and let Zhang Peilun go to Lushun to become the director of the shipyard. Seeing that Li Zhenhua agreed to his request, Wei Han left happily. "The Navy also has another issue, which is to integrate the schools in various places and build a comprehensive naval academy in Tianjin, including warship command, driving, gunnery, There is also the issue of marine machinery, communications, etc. Although they are similar to the army, it will be a little inconvenient for them to go to warships for training in the future. Then add a subject to the Naval Academy in Tianjin. The principal of the Naval Academy can only be Brother Yan Fu. He was the leading figure in China at that time. He has been in Tianjin Naval Academy for many years. So let him expand the school, liberate his mind and let him work hard. Come on. This is not a big deal yet. A lot of money has been spent on the navy and education alone. Li Zhenhua called the Minister of Finance. He wanted to find out how much money he has now Xu Shichang has also been very busy during this period. He wanted to find out the basics of the original Qing government. After some research, he found that the annual disclosed income was 70 million taels. The main income of the Qing government was agricultural tax, followed by lijin and customs. In addition, there is income from those who donated money to officials. However, due to the redundant officials and soldiers in the original court and the waste of raising a large number of Manchus, there were also many natural disasters that required the court to take money from outside. Their lives were not rich. . However, because Weng Tonghe was originally a man who had money and was reluctant to spend it. In addition, the war against Japan in the Sino-Japanese War of 1998 not only did not take money from outside, but caused Japan to lose money to China. The money given by the Russians is now in the court's inventory. There are still 70 million taels of silver. The recent raids on some of the emperor's relatives yielded nearly 100 million taels of silver. The Empress Dowager Cixi also received about 100 million. Now the country has money. Now I still have a lot of money in my hands. Li Zhenhua now spends money in many places. Dismantling the Qing army will cost a lot of money. To run education, you can't just talk and spend real money. The biggest expenditure is military expenditure. It's autumn now. This year's agricultural tax will be collected soon, but the tax won't be seen until next year. Li Zhenhua decided to hand over all his businesses, but Xu Shichang disagreed. He thought it was Li Zhenhua's own money. It cannot all be left to the state. Text Chapter 414 Royal Enterprise Text Chapter 414 Royal Enterprise Chapter 414 Royal Enterprise Chapter 414 Royal Enterprise Li Zhenhua immediately refuted his opinion and believed that this is also the reason why the country's money cannot fall into the hands of one person. If that's the case, what's the difference between it and the original Qing government? When Xu Shichang heard what he said, he said to him: "You are completely different from before. You fought so many troops and wars with your own strength. Even if all the money is in your hands, it will be okay. People can understand because of your Money is different from before. You spent all the money on construction and armaments. If you hadn¡¯t taken so much money, how could we have fought a war with the enemy? Or we should learn the methods of the West and be like the British and their royal family? Enterprises invest a large amount of money into national enterprises, and they withdraw a certain percentage of it and hand it over to the royal family for investment or consumption. After all, they also need to spend money." Li Zhenhua thought about it and agreed to Xu Shichang's opinion, but the two of them argued about the proportion. It was finally determined that 30% of the total profits would be left to Li Zhenhua, and the rest would be handed over to the national finance. Li Zhenhua called Sheng Xuanhuai and asked him how much my annual income is now? Sheng Xuanhuai asked with a smile: "You never care about this matter. What happened today?" "I have nothing to do." Sheng Xuanhuai said: "In the past, we had to have a lot of military expenditures. Now that it is better, you will no longer be responsible for the military expenses." The family's annual income will be 60 million taels." "What? 60 million taels?" This number shocked Li Zhenhua. "How could this be so much?" There are still a lot of investments that are not yet profitable but will gradually become profitable in the future. Another item is that the land of the Manchu Emperor's Imperial Village has now been put under your name." Sheng Xuanhuai then said: "No. Is that okay? The military¡¯s weapon research, manufacturing, personnel salaries, etc. alone cost tens of millions of taels a year. We also need to invest in building schools, railways, disaster relief, and other things that don¡¯t require money.¡± Li Zhenhua thought about it carefully: Also, if we don¡¯t have such abundant funds, our army will have to drink from the northwest wind. But if we have 30% every year, we will have 18 million taels. Isn¡¯t it too much? If all the officials have If you are the same as yourself, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain? However, Xu Shichang¡¯s explanation is also reasonable. Now that the country has just been established, many places are using money in their own hands. There should be some flexible financial resources that can be used for some emergency issues. Having said that, there should be a set of supervision mechanisms for officials. It cannot be like the original Qing government that exclusively gave them the soil for corruption. Now the management methods of the army and enterprises are very good. Everyone has their own fixed salary and some necessary needs. There is no part of their welfare benefits that they can control by themselves. For example, in the past, ministers had to have their own carriage driver, and now he is a car driver, but the expenses are different. The original Qing Dynasty government allowed officials to pay for themselves, and they could keep it themselves. Now it is all paid by the public. It has nothing to do with myself in this regard. Another example is that a county magistrate at the grassroots level used to have an income of 180 taels of silver per year, but their expenses were very large, such as having their own sedan chair team of four people to take care of the book office, the head catcher used by the master for criminal investigation, and the government servants. In addition, they also have some entertainment, family expenses, house repairs, etc. (Generally, it is about officials not repairing, and yamen not repairing shops. Unlike those officials nowadays, it is okay to build even if it is useless. If you get benefits from it, you can at least get a few percent of the introduction fee, which is not a small amount.) So their expenses are not enough at all. So they made up for these deficiencies by raising agricultural taxes and raising the overcharge, and then it went into their own pockets as a matter of course. For slightly larger matters, they have to apply to their superiors (the court) for funding. For example, if they want to build a small bridge in a certain place, they apply for 50,000 taels of silver from their superiors. They get the money and start building it. They actually spend 30,000 taels of silver and the rest is their own. However, they also have to pay some "handling fees" to the relevant people. . This is the practice of a county magistrate who mainly focuses on agriculture. If it were a large industrial enterprise, it would be huge. This was also the most fatal weakness of the original so-called "government-supervised, commercial-run" policy. After thinking about all this, he finally understood why Cen Xuan wanted to do this. Four hundred officials were impeached at one time, and none of them was found to be corrupt. He arranged to rest. Jin Xifeng said to him: "I don't know what happened to sister Yaqi. She has been gone for more than a month. She only sent a few letters, but I really miss her." "It's almost time to come back." After saying that, Li Zhenhua fell down and fell asleep, not caring about Jin Xifeng's somewhat resentful eyes. The next day Li Zhenhua and Xu Shichang continued?To study financial issues, Cen Xuan also needs to have a clear framework for supervision, and it would be bad if we can no longer handle things as before. At this opportunity, Li Zhenhua put forward a proposal to make the income of officials public. Issues of income from unknown sources must be investigated. Wu Tingfang and Cen Xuan just received the notice. Li Zhenhua shared his suggestions with them and asked them to consider how to conduct supervision. In other words, how much income an official has, he must have corresponding expenses. If it is obvious that expenses are greater than income, there is a problem. They talked about their recent work. Li Zhenhua asked about the formulation of relevant laws. Wu Tingfang introduced Li Zhenhua. He cited some regulations and codes of other countries, such as those of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, etc., to formulate his own A set of regulations comes out. But Wu Tingfang was worried about whether it was suitable for China's national conditions. He said: "Such regulations do not have a certain scope of trial implementation now. I'm afraid it is just talk on paper. Should we have another trial period?" Li Hongzhang said: "Then first state that it is a trial draft. From now on, In further improving it." Li Zhenhua also agreed that many laws in later generations of China came from this way. Some simply did not call them regulations but called them regulations. Anyway, Chinese word games include a wide range of things. Cen Xuan also said: "It is right to try this regulation for a period of time before improving it. Anyway, I can't do it without it now, otherwise I won't be able to work." Li Zhenhua said to Cen Xuan: "Any punishment should be based on education. The Lord cannot be as particular as some people about raising pigs and then killing them. From now on, all our laws and regulations will be based on education to improve the legal awareness of the whole people. We must not be soft on those who must kill them. " Text Chapter 415 Customs Tax Issues Text Chapter 415 Taxation Issues at the Customs Chapter 415 Taxation Issues at the Customs Chapter 415 Taxation Issues at the Customs "Okay, from now on we must carry out large-scale publicity on our laws and regulations from all aspects and carry out publicity in various forms. The work can be done in the form of newspapers, announcements, meetings, etc. We can also organize some cultural and artistic activities to allow some enterprises and the military to organize the publicity of these laws and regulations. In a word, all the people must know this." Li Zhenhua said this in one breath. Wan Wu Tingfang, Cen Xuan and others also agreed with him. Li Zhenhua continued his discussion on financial issues. The most critical issue is the customs issue. Now his General Taxation Department is still controlled by the Englishman Hurd. When thinking about this issue, everyone has one wish in their hearts, that is, to hurry up. He took it down from this position. But the current situation does not allow people to do this. Frankly speaking, Hurd has made us go from not knowing what the customs is to establishing it and making it a major income for the entire Qing government over the years. Hurd also established He takes the credit, but he himself is a British person. When encountering conflicts with the interests of the British, he has always stood on the side of the British. For a period of time now, since there is no conflict with the British, he is still working conscientiously for this country. He has never hindered the transfer of funds at work. Since Zheng Guanying went to the customs, Hart has entrusted him with important tasks and given him a position equivalent to a deputy position. Zheng Guanying has been involved in a lot of work. Zheng Guanying, coupled with his serious study, can quickly handle some normal work of the customs. Mastered. d. Beat. ) But the most important thing now is that our external tax rate is lower than that of other countries. Specific customs taxes mainly include import and export taxes, sub-export half taxes, re-import half taxes, ship notes and foreign currency, etc. Import and export taxes are taxes levied by the customs on imported and exported goods using an agreed tax rate worth 5% (i.e. 5) (which is determined through negotiation with foreign businessmen). This is how China's modern customs tax rates have been generally determined. The sub-port half tax is a one-time tax levied on merchants' goods when they pass through a card in the mainland. The re-import half tax is levied at half the import and export tax rate (i.e. 5). It is a foreign merchant transporting native goods from one Chinese trading port to another. The port levies an additional tax of 5% in addition to the regular tax. Ship tax is a tax levied by the customs on ships passing by. It is levied based on tonnage, also known as tonnage tax. However, due to frequent changes in the hand collection standards of the great powers, it has lost its fixedness and stability. Yangyang lijin is the import tax levied when importing foreign opium. And the lijin levied when transporting and selling to the mainland was also called opium lijin. In this way, the Qing government was forced to admit that the legalization of the opium trade facilitated the dumping of opium from imperialist countries in China. Customs duties are collected by the Qing government at inland checkpoints. The inland passage tax consists of three parts: First, it collects crop tax, food tax, supplies tax and groceries tax. Second, it levies ship tax on sailing ships and goods where ships pass. Third, it collects it on behalf of local places. House tax, livestock tax, tooth tax, shop tax, carriage tax and boat deed tax, etc. The first customs duty rate was 5, but later each customs customs adopted specific tax rates. Until now, there is no unified tax rate. During the late Qing Dynasty, the General Taxation Department under the control of the empire had a dual identity. On the one hand, it was a Chinese official; on the other hand, it was an agent of the imperialist invaders. In fact, it was the financial supervision of the imperialist establishment in China. The General Taxation Department was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office of the Qing government, but the General Taxation Department had the power of customs administration and employment. Even the Prime Minister's Office of the Qing government could not interfere with the power of the port taxation departments. The treatment was very generous. They only Personally responsible to the General Taxation Division. The position of the General Taxation Department has been controlled by the British Hurd for decades. More than half of the senior customs staff are also held by British people. The British economic and political aggression against China is largely carried out through Hurd using customs tools. They do not control it. China's finance and taxation even interfere in China's internal affairs and diplomacy. In order to prevent other imperialist countries from being jealous of Britain's monopoly on China's customs, Hart also invited other imperialist countries to participate in the joint management of China's customs. At this time, China's customs strongly reflected the glory of a semi-colonial state. The current Chinese customs plays a special and important role in the process of imperialist aggression against China. It not only facilitates foreign capitalists and businessmen to dump goods into China, plunder raw materials and evade taxes, but also makes the tariffs of the late Qing government lose the ability to protect China. The role of national industry and commerce. The tariff system at that time not only hindered the development of China's national industry and commerce but also facilitated imperialism's economic aggression and financial plunder against China, thus accelerating the semi-colonialization process of society in the late Qing Dynasty. From this analysis, it is even more important to take back the customs as soon as possible. The agreed tariffs are a yoke placed on the Chinese people, which directly affects our customs functions. It cannot guarantee its own income and cannot protect its own national industrial products. What has added another lock to yourself is the Lijin system currently implemented. Domestic merchants transport goods to another place and have to pay at various checkpoints on the road.The large amount of gold makes the profits of national industrial products, which are already low, even lower. It is beneficial to cancel the Lijin system now, but if you want to cancel it, it will affect many places. First, the customs half tax will be gone. Second, the fiscal revenue of some places will be affected. Third, those who used to make a living by this will be affected. People's lives will be lost, and they will have to pay part of the funds for accommodation. This is also a problem that the Qing government has no way to solve. But in our hands, since it is not conducive to the national situation, we must ban it. However, we cannot do it across the board and must have a proper approach. Based on his own experience in the Northeast, Xu Shichang proposed to ban it first in some areas, such as the emerging Northeastern region, the developed Liangjiang region, and the relatively backward Gansu. Developed regions can do without it, and the backward regions do not have much income. Lijin can also be used in this way to take two ends and then the middle to gain a certain amount of experience and then spread it out across the board. At the same time, the opening of railways has also affected the checkpoints in some places. Trains passing through those checkpoints cannot charge Lijin at all. The opening of trains has also prompted the cancellation of Lijin. But without Lijin, taxes need to be collected when the product leaves the factory to avoid tax evasion. This is more satisfactory, but this work must be kept up with. Text Chapter 416 Hurd Resigns Chapter 416 Hurd Resigns Third, the income and expenditure of the current month must be deposited into the local bank (local central treasury) on the same day and cannot be kept by the customs itself. At the same time, the bank department must provide necessary conditions for the customs to deposit the taxes on the same day, such as guarding night reception, etc. Work. Fourth, for the agreed tariffs, a mutually equal system must now be implemented, that is, if I charge you 5%, you must also charge me 5%, otherwise the preferential policies for that country will be cancelled. This highlights the functions of the customs, which not only protects its own national industry and commerce, but also collects taxes from external parties. To cancel the preferential policies of some countries and implement reciprocal policies is to break the shackles of imperialist countries on us. This is the current WTO. Anyway, we are the same and no one can take advantage of others. We are different. If you have any opinions, express them in advance and we will raise tariffs together. "If Hurd knows these rules," Li Hongzhang said, "then his mission will be completed and he won't go home." "That's his business. If he goes back, we will let him go back and we will not keep him." "His." Xu Shichang continued: "Then the customs is our own." "We can't become strong in the world without taking the customs into our own hands." Li Zhenhua finally made the decision. As expected, as soon as Hurd saw the new Chinese government's notice on customs, he immediately approached Li Zhenhua to protest and then submitted his resignation to the Ministry of Finance. As a result, Xu Shichang immediately followed the trend and resigned him. There is also a song here. It turns out that whenever Hart has something to do, he goes directly to the Empress Dowager Cixi or Emperor Guangxu. Now he wants to face Li Zhenhua directly, but the soldiers guarding him asked: "Have you made an appointment with our chief in advance?" "No." "Then I'm sorry. Please stand back to the white line five meters away. Otherwise, I may enforce discipline on you for obstructing official duties." He said. The gun in Wan's hand was already pointed at Hurd's head. Hurd had never been so angry. No official in the Qing Dynasty government was polite to him. Now he was shaking with anger, but facing the guns in the hands of those soldiers, he had no choice but to go to the finance department. I went to find Xu Shichang. Xu Shichang is very nice. He saw Xu Shichang right away. Hurd threw his resignation letter on Xu Shichang's table. Xu Shichang didn't pay attention to him. With your attitude, you thought I didn't pay attention to you in the past 0 years. You were just doing your own thing. Twenty minutes after the incident, Hurd finally couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the resignation on the table and said to Xu Shichang: "Mr. Minister, because your country has formulated new customs regulations, I have decided to submit my resignation to your country's government. "Have you thought about it?" "Yes, I have thought about it." Xu Shichang took the resignation letter from Hurd and signed his name on it with a pen. Then he put it in the drawer below and took the teacup at hand. A beautiful female secretary next to him immediately came over and said to Hurd: "Sir, please." Hurd stood there in surprise. He knew what was going on. This new China is different from the old one. I didn¡¯t expect that they would be like this, so they just drove people away without even trying to save them. I just came here to scare them, but I didn¡¯t expect that I would be defeated instead. People were kicked out. Xu Shichang picked up the phone, dialed a number and said to it: "Start executing it." He glanced at Hurd and said, "Why, sir, do you have anything else?" "No, Mr. Minister, I, I, I am not this. "What do you mean?" "I, I, I" Hurd was speechless and couldn't say anything. The female secretary standing next to him said to him: "Sir, please go out and don't affect us. The minister's job." The dejected Hurd returned to his General Taxation Department. He saw that the red-headed men in front of the mn had disappeared. The security guards in front of the mn had been replaced by police soldiers in new clothes. They were standing guard with pistols in their waistbands. The 1898 style. He came to his office and there were already two soldiers standing in front of him. A soldier stopped him with his hand and said to him: "I'm sorry, sir. This is China's customs. Please go away." What am I irrelevant for? I built up the customs staff bit by bit. Why have I become an irrelevant person? Hurd was about to go crazy with this soldier. He shouted loudly: "Do you know who I am? If you dare to talk to me like this, I will make you die very ugly." At this time, the mn in the office opened a secretary gonecame out: "What are you doing? Don't you know that the Commissioner is at work?" The soldier immediately saluted him and said: "Chief, we are performing official duties but this person is making trouble unreasonably." The secretary looked at Hurd and he immediately smiled: "Isn't this Mr. Hurd? May I ask what you are doing?" Looking at this man who was originally one of his subordinates, Hurd knew that everything was over. His generous salary, unparalleled glory and high status followed his resignation. It was all gone and he leaned against the wall weakly. Zheng Guanying walked out of the room. He glanced at Hurd and said to him: "Please come in." Seeing Hurd sit down, he said to Hurd: "Tea? Coffee?" Hurd shook his head and said: "Zheng Sir, can you please let me pack my own things?" "There is nothing wrong with you to pack your own things." Hurd packed his things and came out with a suitcase. He said to Zheng Guanying. Said: "Goodbye Mr. Zheng." "Goodbye, I won't send it off." Hurd walked out of the mn. The two soldiers stopped him again at the mn entrance. He checked his suitcase again and took out a few documents. Said: "You can't take these things away. You can go now." Hurd walked downstairs and saw that people were already handing over in various offices. Those red-headed men were gone. They were all Chinese. The police officers who were originally responsible for important departments such as accounting, customs declaration, inspection, seizure, warehouse, and security have all been replaced by Chinese. Those who were replaced were either sighing in a low voice or shouting loudly. They were all asked to leave their offices and shouting no longer allowed because guards had already warned them. Disturbance of order will be punished. Text Chapter 417: Surrendering and Stealing Main Text Chapter 417: Surveillance and Self-Theft Chapter 417: Confinement and Self-Theft Chapter 417: Confinement and Self-Theft At night, all the homes of those who were leaving were searched. Prohibited items were found in their homes, and they were immediately arrested and thrown into prison. Someone immediately informed the embassies of various countries in China, and the embassies of the relevant countries immediately issued a note to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "Protest against the Chinese government's unreasonable detention of our citizens." China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately responded to their protest. To refute, we are arresting Chinese customs officials. They are now officials of the Chinese government and must abide by Chinese laws. Now that they have violated Chinese laws, we must deal with them. The current affairs are our own domestic affairs and those of outsiders. It does not matter. Those foreign ministers who had no choice but to ask immediately: "How are you going to punish them?" "It can be a fine or a prison sentence. If the crime is serious, then beheading will be carried out. Will it also require cutting? We will not Knowing that it is up to our Ministry of Justice to make a decision. "This surprised the foreign ministers. It's not bad. They immediately went back to report to their respective governments. After the people in the Government Affairs Council heard about it, Li Hongzhang said: "This Zheng Guanying is too impatient, so those ministers found an excuse to attack us." Sun Yuwen disagreed and said: "These people are too shameless. They are stealing because they are in charge of the customs and are carrying out smuggling activities, so they should be caught." They were talking about Zheng Guanying coming and he made a list of the things he found, totaling 12.46 million taels of silver. The one with the largest number is a British man named Henry Charles. He hid stolen goods (mainly opium) worth more than 3.2 million taels of silver by himself. He also collected some items worth several million taels that were lost in the palace. It is not yet known whether he collected the cultural relics or committed a crime. Li Hongzhang didn't believe him and said, "How could they hide so much opium in their house?" Zheng Guanying said to him, "That's right. As soon as I went there, some Chinese customs officers told me that they were I asked some people to investigate the matter of smuggled opium. It turned out that they rented a house outside the city as their warehouse and collected a large amount of smuggled opium items. " Zhang Zhideng said: "Have you tortured them? "No, but those instruments of torture were all on display. They all confessed when they were frightened. Some people also bought some of our antiques, calligraphy and paintings on their own. They were obviously things in the palace that were lost during the rebellion not long ago. This has nothing to do with what we investigated. The situation is almost the same. The next step is how to deal with their problem. ""Just deal with it how you deal with it. If foreigners break the law in our country, they should be dealt with more severely. If they don't show their power, they will treat you as a human being." The cat is sick." Feng Guozhang stood up and said unceremoniously. "That may cause diplomatic disputes." Li Hongzhang was a little worried. "It's better not to rush the matter now, but to use which law against them." Li Zhenhua said. "Then we have to ask our Dr. Wu." Xu Shichang said: "The guard will immediately notify Minister Wu to come." Li Zhenhua was thinking that China's Eight-Nation Allied Forces, which he thought had become stronger, would not come. If this happens nng If the Eight-Nation Allied Forces enter China again, we will have to fight a good battle and teach them a lesson. We are not afraid of them now, but they definitely cannot gather eight countries together. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but ask Zheng Guanying: "How many countries are involved in total?" "There are seven countries in total: Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Italy." Li Zhenhua couldn't help but said: "If they are Just make it eight." "There can also be a person in this country who has dual citizenship. He is Portugal and the United States." "Why did the commander-in-chief say eight is right?" Li Zhenhua was already thinking about what he just said. Why did he say such a thing when he regretted it? But he quickly reflected: "Let them form two tables of cards." People laughed loudly. The commander-in-chief was so talented that he actually thought of such a serious matter. After playing cards, it was obvious that he didn't pay attention to these people at all. Li Zhenhua himself thought it was funny and he just happened to catch it, so prepare to fight. "We, China, are just a piece of firu in their eyes. They just want to take a bite of it. Now that they have an excuse, they can't take a good bite. But they have to be careful not to knock out their teeth." Customs at all levels have also started corresponding inspections. Similarly, a group of foreigners have been detained mainly for committing the crime of embezzlement. Soon the situation from various places was reported to Beijing.The total amount of goods listed above is nearly 10 million taels, which makes it more than 20 million taels. If not for this hand, all the more than 20 million taels would have been lost. Newspapers published the news about China taking over customs and confiscating SI Group. This caused a huge response in the country. People cheered and thought that the country's action was correct. The common people spontaneously started celebrating and everyone was happy. At the same time, people in the crowd were also angrily scolding those foreigners who dared to wander, so they should be killed and left useless. Many people went to the foreign embassies to demonstrate, holding banners and shouting slogans demanding stricter treatment of those foreigners. But the police were urging people to go home and not attack the embassy staff. The ministers from various countries began to communicate with each other. During the day, they did not dare to come out for fear that the common people would see them and beat them up. They had to come out secretly at night, but their actions were all seen by the police and people from the intelligence department, and they all made a fuss. In order to record, the ministers of several countries were running around like a revolving lantern. Among them, the most active participant was the French minister. He almost visited the entire embassy area. It seemed that he did not get any good incense. The second one was the Russian and Italian ministers. Britain, which is also the boss, is also running around, but there is no response. The United States was the first to stop. It seems that they have lost interest in the dual nationality. However, it is not a glorious thing for people from their own country to commit crimes in other countries, especially the behavior of stealing cultural relics of other countries, which is even more embarrassing. Disdained. When they came to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs again, they were much more honest. They asked to see their personnel who were blocked the first time, but the second time they went to see the guards, they were approved. Text Chapter 418 The last beheading Text Chapter 418 The Last Beheading Chapter 418 The Last Beheading Chapter 418 The Last Beheading Those foreigners came in various capacities, including journalists, businessmen, and factory owners. The representatives of the French were their Catholicism. Archbishop Fan Guoliang was not a good person. When the original Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, he actively participated in the killing of Chinese people. I went in to visit those people, and they were not punished. No one was hurt, and there was no problem. But it was impossible to come out. Those who went there looked at them with contempt because their behavior had brought shame to their country. You guys It's not a glorious thing to use the power in your hands to carry out si activities. They just took a brief look and left, and they never came back again. The Ministry of Justice summoned reporters from some newspapers and asked them to go to the prison to interview the prisoners. Now they are criminals. Nowadays, people don¡¯t talk about criminal suspects. The next day's newspapers published photos of the prisoners looking embarrassed inside the iron bars of the prison. This was a huge embarrassment to their country. A few days later, their trial began. Because people were very concerned about the matter, this was also the first major case after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. On that day, many people came to watch. Everyone who came was male, female, and old. There are a small number of Chinese and foreigners, including journalists, workers, farmers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, and soldiers. The police have already been on site to guard the place. It is still in the original lobby of the Ministry of Justice. The place is too small and there are too many people. . d. The embassies of various countries in China have sent personnel to observe. They want to seize any mistakes made by China. They are just here to find fault. At the same time, each of their countries either themselves or lawyers appointed by China appeared. in court. Because of the importance of the case, Wu Tingfang personally served as the presiding judge of the case. He also made himself a judge's clothes based on the clothes of some foreign judges. It turned out that there was a young man retained by the Ministry of Justice who was also Wu Tingfang's student. He first prosecuted these criminals. People confessed to their actions and were eventually defended by their own lawyers, but the fact was that they themselves admitted their criminal behavior, so those defenses seemed a bit weak. Wu Tingfang tried a group of criminals in accordance with the laws of New China. Two people, Henry Chalchi, were sentenced to death and two life sentences. The remaining ten and eight years were different. At the same time, all their stolen goods and stolen money were confiscated. The whole process was completely different from the original grand master going to court to question the case. This opened the eyes of the people in the capital. This was the first time they had seen a public trial of foreigners. It turns out that foreigners have not committed crimes in China, right? This time, the Chinese have grown a lot of faces. The execution team walked towards Caishikou in the west, which is a place specially used for executing prisoners. Even those who were sentenced were brought along so that they could see off their companions. When we got there, the execution ground had already been prepared. Two executioners wearing bright red clothes were standing on the high platform. The two prisoners were already frightened. The soldiers pushed the prisoners onto the platform. At this time, the two executioners discovered that something was wrong. It turned out that when killing someone, someone had to hold the braided prisoner's head with one hand and stick it out so that the work would be easier. But without the braids, the two executioners could not pull the head outward. What's more, these two people were already scared. Fortunately, these two executioners were experienced. They had beheaded monks before. Let's just treat them as monks and behead them. So the two of them cooperated. One of them stepped on the prisoner's head with his foot. The other stepped forward and slashed his head with a knife. The other one did the same thing and slashed his head and head with one knife. The incident was originally very bloody, but the people present were extremely happy. However, Wu Tingfang, the supervisor, felt that it was too bloody. From today on, he decided not to use beheading anymore and decided to use a gun to carry out the death penalty. The Chinese people were happy, but some people were so angry that their teeth ached. Those ministers from the countries they belonged to gritted their teeth and said that the blood debt the Chinese had committed against them must be recovered. This is really gangster logic. You have killed countless people in China, but the Chinese just chopped off two of your heads and you can't stand it. Ministers from various countries immediately sent telegrams to their countries to report this situation to their countries. For China to be so tough, countries have also begun their discussions about China's current government and how China will deal with them in the future. But the facts are there. Today's China is no longer what it was a few decades ago. Just a few warships, thousands of soldiers, and a few cannons on the sea can scare China into surrender. That kind of thing will never happen again. It has become history. If you can't deal with the Chinese now, then you should wait for the opportunity to collect your debts from the Chinese. The Intelligence Ministry mn sent Li Zhenhua the original report of the British in South Africa.??Historically, the Boers were originally Dutch farmers. The Dutch were the first to colonize the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa. But in 4 years the "Cape Colony" became British and all the British immigrants flocked to them. They brought their own laws and way of life which weakened the Boer privileges. In 1835, the Boers migrated northward and established two republics, the Oran Free State and the Transvaal. Later gold and diamonds were found in this land. As a result, adventurers and arrogant financiers came one after another, exacerbating the conflicts between the British colonies in South Africa and the Boer Republic. Transvaal President Paul Gruger finally issued an ultimatum to Britain in October 1899 when he couldn't bear it anymore. On October 11, 1899, the Boer War broke out (991902). After the initial defeat of the British army, they immediately began to increase their troops into South Africa. In this regard, Li Zhenhua just said something about the war that he should continue to pay attention to in the future. It's better now. The British can't spare their troops to fight with us. Let's take advantage of him this time. He simply admires those Boers to death. If not Their trouble is not good. We will have a fight with the Eight-Nation Allied Forces next year. During this period, Li Zhenhua arranged for two more mayors. The mayor of Beijing, Lin Zhiming, the original mayor of Dongying, was appointed mayor of Shanghai, and Zhu Baosan was appointed mayor of Tianjin. He originally wanted Shen Baoxiang, but Baoxiang said that he was from a lowly background and could not hold such a position. If Li Zhenhua didn't agree, he would have to give up and let the governor of Zhili take charge first. Text Chapter 419 Cutting Braids Text Chapter 419 Cutting Braids Chapter 419 Cutting Braids Chapter 419 Cutting Braids Lin Zhiming quickly fell into his role after arriving in Beijing. First of all, he felt that most people still had braids. He was disgusted by this, so he asked people to go to Beijing. It was promoted in the newspaper, so people began to spontaneously cut off their braids, but some people were unwilling, so there was often a farce on the street. When people found someone with braids on the street, someone would rush up to them. The man who cut off his braids burst into tears, so the man who cut the braids invited the man to have a cup of tea, and that was the end of the matter. Some people were very happy when they found the braids. The man who chased and scared him on the street ran around, but no one helped him. A group of people chased him behind him, and there were even people chasing him on bicycles. In the end, he was cut off and knocked down. The second thing is that due to the obvious shortage of labor force due to the establishment of various enterprises, Lin Zhiming organized women to participate in the work. This is incredible. He immediately encountered opposition from many people, especially those who claimed to want women's liberation, but in fact Lin Zhiming didn't care about those who objected to the women in his family coming out. After all, they were the girls who took the money home so that their family could eat better and the clothes on their bodies should be nicer. Gradually, people stopped talking about it. At the same time, Lin Yuming also mobilized some family members of senior officials to go out to work or participate in some activities. Li Zhenhua's wife Yaqi immediately responded to the mayor's call. She took action immediately, often driving or riding her bike to the streets. Fortunately, the female soldiers around me often go to the streets. Many female workers also wear their work clothes and walk on the streets, which arouses people's discussion. But most stallholders know that this is not a bad thing. Those F girls put their Life at home is much better once the income is received. The labor force is insufficient. Lin Zhiming has taken the idea of ??those Manchus again. It turns out that those people can have money to spend without working, but now I am sorry that there is no such expense. You have to work by yourself to earn money to support yourself, so he specially made mn. At one event, he asked his men to notify some former Manchu dignitaries and former royal relatives to come to his municipal office for a meeting. Lin Zhiming got straight to the point and asked: "How do you think your own life is compared to before?" Those people said in unison: "It's not as good as before." "Then how do you think the lives of ordinary people are compared to before? ?" Now no one said anything. They knew that people had more money than before, and they earned it by themselves when they went out to work. "You also have two hands. People can live a good life because they have to work and if you don't work, you will have no income. So let me ask you, how long will your family have enough money? What if you run out of money?" No one can answer this question. Lin Zhiming said again: "I can tell you that I have many jobs now for workers, farmers, soldiers, teachers, doctors, etc. If you come early, I can give you a good job." If it's late, it can only be bad work, and if it's late, there will be no work. Okay, I'll stop here. You can think about it carefully. If you are happy, you can come here to find me. But it's late. Then don't look for me because I don't have any jobs anymore." After Lin Zhiming said this, he turned and left the venue. The Manchu nobles were still there to study and discuss. First of all, they were some people who had seen through the situation. They couldn't continue like this. Besides, it was not enough to just work like this. After all, they had to have a decent life, so they immediately went to find Lin Zhiming. The second group of people were some people who really couldn't let the pot go. If they didn't work, they would be hungry soon. So they walked towards the staff. They had to work and couldn't let their families go hungry. So they also started. Work. Some people who have some assets in their families have also moved. Those who always need to have some income cannot just sit back and have nothing. But there are also people who are unwilling to work. They have assets at home but they are not in a hurry now, so they go home by themselves. There are also some people who want to save face and suffer. They would rather starve for a few days than work. So they will continue to be hungry. Your belly is not something that others won¡¯t let you work on. Beijing has recently announced several laws to protect women, that is, people of all ethnic groups are free to marry and love, and your marriages are protected by the state. Therefore, some young Manchu men and women got married to their non-Manchu lovers. Of course, these are just some ordinary people at the grassroots level who have found their favorite people in their jobs. This wouldn't be the case just in your own home. Another item announced at the same time is that from now on, any girl is not allowed to have her feet bound, and girls are not allowed to be forced. The announcement of these two laws directly protects girls. This makes those girls??My heart is very happy, but no one can really realize this now. For this reason, Yaqi also went to the street with some female guards. This time she drove out in a convertible car. The brave and heroic appearance of those female soldiers was really eye-catching, which made the onlookers open their eyes. A glimpse of the future. A group of beauties wearing military uniforms shopping on the streets and shopping malls is also a sight to behold. There is another problem and that is the "Huangzhuang" problem. This was left to Li Zhenhua himself by the Qing emperor. But Li Zhenhua made it clear from the beginning that the land belonged to the country and no one was allowed to take it back by himself. This also included his land. This also made the relatives of the emperor very sad. How will they live their lives without the income from the land? It used to be that some of the land granted to the ministers, the royal relatives and relatives, would not farm it themselves, and the people who farmed it were farmers who had lost their land. Now, because a large number of people have begun to work in factories, and there is no one There are fewer people to manage those "imperial estates" and the land has become idle. This is indeed a problem. Fortunately, the land has been confiscated. Now all the land belongs to the country. Most of the farmers have been allocated the land. If the peasant class has land, it will be a source of stability for society and there will still be some land. It is used for urban construction but most of it is given to those who have no land. Text Chapter 420 Yaqi is back Text Chapter 420 Yaqi is back Chapter 420 Yaqi is back Chapter 420 Yaqi is back The birth of a large number of enterprises has brought more farmers into the city Li Zhenhua has a feeling that it is like the original 1950s, but the New China at that time was not as good as My current situation is that people today are more able to endure hardships and stand hard work. No matter how bad life is, no one is unhappy, and there are not as many complaints as in later generations. Lin Zhiming's actions have allowed him to stimulate a large amount of demand in the entire society, making the entire society develop in a good way. Many enterprises are developing, and a large number of armies and useless bureaucrats have been eliminated. In addition, there is no compensation that will never be paid. Li Zhenhua's big family is still living well despite the compensation paid to him by foreigners and the dirty money seized. Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Xu Shichang settled the account for Li Zhenhua: He now has more than 200 million taels of silver in his hands. This surprised Li Zhenhua how the country could have so much money. It seems that from now on, talking about enriching the country and strengthening the army will no longer be empty talk, but a real thing. From now on, the lives of ordinary people will definitely become better and better. The amount of money invested in the military is still very large, but the money used for the people is not much. Li Zhenhua really wants to cancel the agricultural tax now, but everyone disagrees. They think that the "imperial grain national tax" is a matter of course and cannot be done casually. If we cancel it, if something happens to the country and if we impose agricultural taxes, people will definitely be disgusted, and then we will be doomed. Li Zhenhua thought for a while and agreed with their opinions. We won't cancel it now. But when the new emperor ascends the throne next year, he will give people some big discounts. Let's talk about it next year. It is estimated that next year's income will be more than this year because there are already more companies. If you invest in production, your tax revenue will also increase significantly, and you can do more things for the people. ¡°Everything done by future generations, such as medical insurance, pension insurance, and compulsory education, can be developed now, so that foreigners can come to China to learn from it. Li Zhenhua was imagining those beautiful visions. A guard hurried in and disturbed Li Zhenhua's meditation. He was startled. Seeing that Li Zhenhua had no intention of getting angry, he smiled sheepishly and said to Li Zhenhua: "Mrs. Commander-in-Chief. I'm back." Li Zhenhua stood up as soon as he heard this and hurriedly walked out. Yaqi had been gone for a long time. This time he was able to convince the princes and nobles of the Mng ancient tribes that he had made great contributions in this regard. Everyone should be welcomed. As soon as they arrived at the mn entrance, Yaqi had already come in. Regardless of the other people around her, she rushed to Li Zhenhua and hugged him tightly. Li Zhenhua said to her softly: "Qiqi, you have worked hard on this trip. Come inside and take a rest." Seeing Yaqi's return, the waitress immediately got busy preparing bath water for her. The kitchen also started preparing food for her. Jin Xifeng also ran over. The two were fooling around for a while. When they saw that the bath water was ready, Jin Xifeng joined her. Went to take a shower together. When everything was over, she sat next to Li Zhenhua. When the people next to her saw that it was a family and wanted to talk, they all left. Li Zhenhua said to her: "You have lost a lot of weight on this trip, but it's hard on you." Yaqi wiped the water droplets on her head and said, "If it's not hard, I just miss you and sister Xifeng every day." Jin Xifeng immediately made fun of you. She said, "Isn't it possible for me?" Yaqi hit Jin Xifeng with the towel in her hand: "Go and stay aside so that my husband and I can get intimate and intimate." Jin Xifeng reached out to catch the towel and made a gesture to her Ghostface ran out: "Take it easy and don't get too tired." Yaqi smiled and cursed: "It's getting more and more shameless." Seeing Jin Xifeng leaving, Yaqi immediately started to briefly tell Li Zhenhua that she was going to Mnggu. Situation: "The matter has been resolved. The leaders of the six tribes alliance will arrive the day after tomorrow. I was so anxious that I ran back first. That white dragon horse is such a good horse. It ran more than 400 miles in one day without any problems." " Can anyone handle the horse? Silly girl, why don't you take a car? " "A car is faster, but I still want to ride a horse, because the feeling of a horse is different from that of a car. " It turns out that those Mng ancient things happened after she arrived. The princes and nobles greeted her with the same greetings, but their attitude was obviously colder than when she returned. Yaqi knew their psychology, so she began to visit them individually and got a preliminary understanding of the situation in G ancient times. At the same time, as Mrs. Li Zhenhua, she had extensive contact with them and persuaded them. Many people did not want to leave this country, but they were afraid of Li Zhenhua in their hearts. They had already heard about Li Zhenhua's treatment of those satisfied high-ranking officials. Even if she was cruel, she was afraid that he would be cruel to her as well. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????When they saw Yaqi coming, they already knew in their hearts that Li Zhenhua would not kill them because the person who came was not an army but Princess Yaqi who had ancient Mng blood. At the same time, they could handle Li Zhenhua very well. Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu were buried, which also calmed their resistance to the new government. Look at Li Zhenhua now. He has defeated the tens of thousands of Russians. Xiao Guoqiang's army has stopped at the national border and has been blocked. If he wants to surrender to the Russians, he can only surrender to Li Zhenhua's side. Let's talk about General Li. Everyone has seen that he is not as arrogant as those Manchu generals. He is a talented person who can fight, manage finances, and govern the country. Such a person can definitely believe it, and then I heard that the city of Beijing was beaten for several days, and one of his Manchu generals, Chang Rui, stopped the rebellion with just an order. Can everyone be unconvinced? So they agreed to go to Beijing with Yaqi after negotiation, because if Mnggu wanted to prosper, it could not leave the big family of China. Although the Russians have promised everyone a lot of preferential conditions, once they go there, they will not feel good about being dependent on others. Yaqi took out a thick pile of documents from a pile of boxes she brought with her. Yaqi said to Li Zhenhua: "This is the information obtained by the intelligence personnel I contacted. You can take a closer look." Li Zhenhua immediately accepted it. After reading it. Text Chapter 421 The Qing Government¡¯s Rule over Mongolia Text Chapter 421 The Qing government¡¯s rule over Mongolia Chapter 421 The Qing government¡¯s rule over Mongolia Chapter 421 The Qing government¡¯s rule over Mongolia The above first summarizes the Qing government¡¯s rule over Mongolia and the main basic policies of the Qing government over Mongolia This is reflected in the following two points: First, "give both kindness and power." The rulers of the Qing Dynasty formed an alliance with the ancient Mng aristocrats and established a stable political alliance that was "shared with each other" and based on the fundamental interests of the ruling class headed by the Manchu aristocrats. fundamental. For this reason, the Qing Dynasty implemented the policy of "applying both kindness and power" and "using both suppression and appeasement". In the era of Taizu Nurhaci, the combination of grace and power was used: "The obedient will obey with virtue, and the disobedient will use troops." Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, "feared the enemy with military force and cherished them with virtue." Emperor Qianlong, the emperor of the reign of Emperor Gaozong, still emphasized that "if you control foreign vassals and only appease the Yi and others, you will become arrogant and wantonly use both kindness and power." With the changes of the times, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty sometimes favored "treating them with virtue" and sometimes "using them with deterrence" with different emphasis, but their ruling policy of "benefit and power" did not fundamentally change. The second is "governing according to customs". "It is not easy to cultivate its religion and its customs, and it is not easy to adjust its politics to its suitability" is the unswerving governance policy pursued by the Qing Dynasty in ancient times, and it is also the basic principle of the rule of ethnic minorities in the border areas. The ancient Mng people were nomadic people who lived for water and grass. The vast expanse of grasslands, the changeable climate, and the wandering life tempered their heroic, perseverance, and tenacious fighting spirit. At the same time, they also formed an unruly and unruly nation. xng grid. Chapter d) For example, the ancient nobles of Oirat and Mng despised the rule of the Qing Dynasty. They dominated the northwest corner and had a confrontation with the Qing Dynasty for more than a hundred years. In order to establish stable and effective rule in Monan and Mobei Mnggu and complete the unification of Mnggu in Moxi Oirat, it is necessary to establish an administrative system, social organization and system that are compatible with the social organizational structure, religious beliefs, and living customs of the Mnggu people. Ways of religious belief. Emperor Kangxi "cannot follow the rule of law in the mainland only if it is gradually introduced, it will be beneficial" Emperor Yongzheng "according to the customs and appropriateness" "Everyone is in accordance with his own customs" "Qing Shi Zong Shi Lu" Volume 80 and Emperor Qianlong "according to the customs and appropriateness" " "Do not change their habits" all proceed from the above-mentioned purpose of governance and are a high-level summary of the governance policy of "governing according to customs". The contents and measures of the Qing Dynasty's policy towards the ancient Mongolian people mainly include the following aspects: First, the Central Government established the Lifan Yuan to take charge of the ancient affairs of the Mongolian people. As early as the Guanwai period, the Qing rulers established the "Mng Ancient Yam" in 1636, the first year of Chongde. In 1638, it was renamed "Li Fan Yuan" to manage ancient affairs. In the 18th century, the management scope of Li Fan Yuan expanded to Xinjiang, and other border ethnic areas. The Lifan Yuan has officials such as Shangshu, Shilang, and Yuanwailang, with the Manchus as the main and Mng people as auxiliaries. It also has six divisions: Banner, Wanghui, Dianshu, Rouyuan, Laiyuan, and Lixing. The Qing government also formulated the "Regulations of the Lifanyuan" as the legal basis for governing various ancient ministries. The "Lifanyuan Rules", as the Qing Dynasty's administrative regulations governing Mongolia and other ethnic minorities, is particularly complete in its provisions. The content includes various provisions of the Qing government on the privileged status of ancient Mng princes, such as rank, appointment, promotion, salary, salary, pilgrimage, banquets, etiquette, etc., and regulations on maintaining the local social order of ancient Mng, such as the establishment of officials and duties. , rewards and punishments, military and political affairs, alliances, border restrictions, human lives, theft, tombs, crimes, punishments, arrests and death and other regulations on lama affairs. The Qing government also implemented the alliance flag system to strengthen its control over the ancient Mng region. The alliance flag-making system is a product of the combination of the Mng ancient people's original social organizations "Etuoke" and "Aimaike". The Qing government set up 6 alliances and 49 banners in Monan Mnggu, 4 alliances and 86 banners in Mobei Khalkha, and 8 alliances and 62 banners in Moxi Mnggu. Qinghai Mnggu and Alxa did not establish alliances. The alliance under the alliance flag system mainly refers to the alliance system. Each alliance has a leader to handle alliance affairs. The alliance leader is selected by Zasak of each banner in the alliance and reports to the Lifan Yuan for a decree. The Lifan Yuan will issue a seal. The League is not a specialized first-level administrative agency that only supervises each banner, so it does not have an office to handle League affairs. In fact, the leader of the alliance is an official who is the intermediate link between the Lifanyuan and Zhasak of Mnggu banners. The flag under the alliance flag system was the first-level administrative organization in the Mng ancient area in the Qing Dynasty. Each flag has one person named Zasak as the flag leader (that is, the flag chief) and the prime minister in charge of the flag affairs. The position of Zasak is either hereditary or simply appointed and is awarded a seal by the Lifan Yuan. The responsibilities of the banner Zasak include administration, justice, taxation, dispatching, appointment of subordinate officials and replacement of pastures within the banner. There are 150 households in each of the 150 dings in the banner. Zuo established Zuo Ling to manage the internal affairs of Zuo. For every 10 houses below the assistant leader, one chief is responsible for maintaining the security of 10 houses in peacetime, which is the head of 10 soldiers in wartime. Under the alliance flag system, the vast number of herdsmen were called "Jianding" and in ancient areas were called Albatu. They had to bear taxes, tribute, military service and various peacetime duties. The Qing Dynasty had far-reaching significance for the unification of the Mng ancient ethnic areas. Historically, all dynasties in the Central Plains suffered from the management of the northern frontier. From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the Han Dynasty suffered from the Xiongnu, the Tang Dynasty worried about the Turks, and the Song Dynasty worried about the Khitan. By the Ming Dynasty, Mnggu had become a "border trouble" of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty unified Mnggu and was the only dynasty other than the Yuan Dynasty that successfully brought the northern nomads under central jurisdiction. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once said with emotion: "I have read the classics and history, and many ancient countries outside the Great Wall have contended with China dating back to the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. They have been harmed by them in all dynasties, and have conquered Xuanwei's ancient countries and ordered them to submit to our dynasty." "In the past, the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall with earth and stone work. The imperial court showed favor to Khalkha so that it could defend Shuofang and strengthen the long wall." Emperor Kangxi's boastful words here are not exaggerated. Qin feared the "Di in the North" and built the Great Wall as a boundary. Later generations followed Qin's approach to strengthening the Great Wall but failed to fundamentally solve the problem. Relatively speaking, the Qing Dynasty's completion of the unification of MNG was indeed superior to any previous dynasty. When I saw the above issues regarding the political rule of MNG by the Qing government, Li Zhenhua glanced at Yaqi and saw that she was already sitting there and fell asleep. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but feel heartache. He put down the documents in his hands and gently picked up Yaqi. He wanted to hold her to his lips, but this time he woke Yaqi up. Yaqi reached out and hugged Li Zhenhua, kissed him on the face and said to him: "Am I being disrespectful to the emperor?" Li Zhenhua smiled: "No, you are going for me. You are too tired. You need a good rest." He gently put Yaqi on his lips and kissed him. He was about to leave, but Yaqi's hand But he pulled him. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to turn around and lie down with Yaqi. Yaqi's hand immediately became dishonest. Li Zhenhua said to her, you are tired and you should have a good rest. Yaqi's little face was red. She was just being coquettish to him. He said in a loud voice: "Isn't that right?" Text Chapter 422 Russia¡¯s Penetration of Our Resources Text Chapter 422 Russia¡¯s Penetration of My Resources Chapter 422 Russia¡¯s Penetration of My Resources Chapter 422 Russia¡¯s Penetration of My Resources After settling down, Yaqi saw that she had fallen asleep and Li Zhenhua continued to read those documents: The most important thing now is The commander-in-chief should be more vigilant about Russia's infiltration into ancient China: At the end of the 19th century, after the Russian governor-general Balayov of Siberia, the Russian Badmayev proposed a plan to "annex ancient China's east" by inciting national divisions. The Tsar highly appreciated Badmayev's plan and allocated a huge "loan" of 2 million rubles to fund his activities. In 1894, the 20th year of Guangxu, Badmayev used the funds to establish the "Badmayev Commercial Company" and successively sent various personnel to sneak into China, foreign countries, Qinghai, and other places to carry out subversive xngyin activities. For more than ten years after that, Badmayev and his subordinates traveled around the Mng banners all year round to engage in aggressive activities such as bribing the ancient Mng princes. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, a series of "revolution", "autonomy" incidents and even national separatist activities in and outside the country were almost all participated by Badmayev and his subordinates. A series of conspiracy activities to seek refuge in Russia were secretly orchestrated by Russian spies. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why the princes and nobles were indifferent to her when Yaqi went to Mnggu. In addition, Russia¡¯s economic plunder and resource destruction in the Mng ancient region is extremely serious. After the signing of the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Tianjin" in 1858, the eighth year of Xianfeng, Russia received preferential policies for trade with Mongolia. According to incomplete statistics, the trade volume between Russia and MNG was more than 218,000 rubles in the 11th year of Xianfeng. . At the same time, the center of gravity of Russia's MNG trade gradually shifted from the east to the west. Russia took Kobdo and Ulyasutai as the focus of its expansion, and got rid of the constraints imposed on Russia by trade between China and Russia. Russia's MNG trade volume increased sharply. In the past 8 years, it has increased 10 times. With the substantial increase in trade volume, the number of Russians doing business in ancient times increased significantly. In the 10th year of Xianfeng, the first Russian business firm appeared in Kulun. By the end of the 19th century, the number of Russian merchants in Mng had reached three to four hundred and was growing continuously. Russian merchants traveled deep into the ancient grasslands among the various alliances and banners, "so that not one of the four Khalkha banners had Russian merchants trading with them." Russian merchants transported and sold ancient products, including cotton fabrics, woolen fabrics, leather, food, Ironware, daily necessities, etc. Due to the dumping of Russian goods, the market in the ancient western region was gradually controlled by Russian businessmen. By the beginning of the 20th century, ¡°Russian goods in Xinjiang from Uucheng to the present were full of cunning, tax-free conversions, and miscalculations, which led to a leakage of financial resources that was difficult to stop.¡± The situation is extremely serious as Russian merchants plunder 500 tons of various kinds of skins and 100,000 livestock from foreign countries every year. Most of Russian businessmen¡¯s trade with Mongolia is barter and credit trade with livestock products as collateral and guaranteed by the Mongolian People¡¯s Union. Russian businessmen often take advantage of the urgent need for goods by the Mng people and increase the original price of the goods by 100% to 250% to sell them. The number of high-interest loans directly issued by Russian businessmen to the Mng people with land and property as collateral is also increasing day by day, causing the Mng people to be heavily in debt and miserable. Jiemin, the leader of the Tushetu Khan Department, "the vast majority of people used their own property as collateral to purchase the goods of Russian merchants without considering the consequences, thereby incurring a debt of one thousand taels." The formation of this situation is inevitable. For a long time, the Qing government implemented a ban policy, and the ancient region was basically still a closed society without changing its traditional nomadic economy. Although this area has strengthened exchanges with other regions in the country, it is only a fixed tribute market, and the trade exchanges are mainly based on barter. A commodity economy in the strict sense has not yet emerged. The development of Russia-MNG trade and the dumping of industrial products are based on the primitive plunder of local residents. Because they are at different stages of social development, ancient regions cannot compete fairly with them. In addition to trade plunder, Tsarist Russia also plundered mineral resources in foreign countries in the name of development. In 1896, Russia's Sino-Russian Bank, the Russian Gold Mining Company and other capital groups established the China Mineral Exploration Company in Petersburg with the purpose of developing China's mineral deposits. In 1897, the 23rd year of Guangxu's reign, Russia obtained the right to mine gold mines for 25 years within the territory of Tushetu Khan and Chechen Khan, north of Kulun and south of Kyakhta. "This article is invalid and the original signature has been invalidated." Li Zhenhua said harshly. The above-mentioned surveying company also decided to establish the "Mng Ancient Tushetu Khan League and Chechen Khan League Mining Joint Stock Company", also referred to as the "Wai Mng Tu Shetu Khan League and Chechen Khan League Mining Co., Ltd." to plunder the gold resources of the ancient Wai Mng areas. The Russians also relied on their military power to cross the border and seize the two gold mines of Qigan River and Jilalin on the east bank of the Ergun River. "Get out of here right away. I'll make you angry. I dare to arrest your Tsar Nicholas II." MNG has already mined gold in 5 gold mines, such as: there is a silver mine in Halekucha Mountain in Alxa. Qie Mining Fengwang has drafted a silver mining charter to recruit people to mine the Honghuagou gold mine in Wengniute Banner, the Changhanggou silver mine in Kalaqin You Banner, and the Tucao silver mine and tin mine in Kalaqin Right Banner. Wax flakes, silver mines, etc. were all separated by the Qing government.The stipulated regulations for mining and promotion stipulate that "one or two gold for each tax collected will be calculated as 10%: 50% of the labor cost will be divided into 36% for the main course, 3rd for the gold consumption, 10% for the decomposition fee, and the remaining 10% will be converted into Alaba Figure (Local errand capital). In addition, the Qing government also sent people to various places to survey mineral deposits and found that there were lead, coal and other mines in the ancient territory of Mng. They were also mined by investment, but the scale was small. Most of them stopped due to backward technology and poor management. Eastern Mng The ancient gold mines are second to none in the ancient Mng region. "Haha, it turns out we have such gold mines," Li Zhenhua laughed. Successive Heilongjiang generals and Rehe governors paid great attention to the mining of gold mines and actively supervised the planning, exploration and mining. The ones included are the Jinchanggouliang, Zhuanshanzi, Honghuagou and Shuiquanzigou gold mines in Zhaomeng, the Qiganhe gold mine in the north of Hulunbuir League, and the Jilalin gold mine in the southwest of Qiganhe. After reading these documents, Li Zhenhua decided to take a good look. Give a special reward to those intelligence officers in Mng Gu. They gave up family reunions and went deep into the remote Mng Gu area to work and provided themselves with a lot of valuable information. They are so cute. We must entrust them with heavy responsibilities for future work in Mng Gu. . At the same time, he also deeply felt that his wife had become more mature. He had always treated her and Wang Xin as children, but now they were both mothers of children. If they were released, they would be dead. Li Zhenhua, who could stand alone, shook his head: "I can't bear to let her go this time because I have no choice but to let her go. I'm afraid she won't have the chance to go out like this in the future." Text Chapter 423 The Mongolian Issue Text Chapter 423: Mongolian Issue Chapter 423: Mng Ancient Issue Chapter 423: Mng Ancient Issue Bar? So he asked them to invite people in. After a while, two people were invited in by the guards. One was older, one was in his thirties, and the other was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Li Zhenhua knew that he should be China's "Father of Aircraft" Feng Ru. He is only a teenager now, but the first impression given to people is that this person is extremely smart. So Li Zhenhua immediately invited them to sit down and talked with them without any nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "Do you like airplanes, young man?" Li Zhenhua asked. . Baidu search (hand-typing chapters) "Sir, this child just likes to mess around. He dares to touch anything and dare to dismantle anything. However, he can assemble anything. Everything in the house has been repaired by him." The man replied on the side. He should be Feng Ru's father. "I like it. How did you know that I like airplanes?" Li Zhenhua was stopped in one sentence, but it can be said that he had foresight: "I think any young person likes airplanes. So I think you should also like airplanes. "You're just a g-person. "So you also like airplanes." "Yes, I like airplanes too, but I don't have time. I arranged a school for you where we have a specialist. "But one thing is that everything there is related to airplanes. How do you like it?" "Thank you very much. I'll go there right away." "It's very close to the east of Beijing." Can we go now?" "Yes, the guard will immediately arrange a car to take Feng Ru and his father to the aviation school in Yanjiao." A guard came in and took Feng Ru and his son away. Li Zhenhua immediately said to Secretary Jin Xifeng: "Remember that I will go to the aviation school in Yanjiao to visit Feng Ru in ten days." Jin Xifeng immediately wrote down with a pen that she would be responsible for reminding Li Zhenhua that he would go to Yanjiao, Beijing to visit Feng Ru. As soon as the princes arrived, Li Zhenhua and some senior officials went out of the city to greet them. This made the princes very impressed by Li Zhenhua's residence. After being polite for a while, Li Zhenhua talked to them about the current Mongol issues. Li Zhenhua expressed high appreciation for the courage of the people of all parts of the country to resist the Russians. At the same time, he apologized for not paying enough attention to the people of the country. Li Zhenhua asked them to put forward their opinions and demands to the central government if possible. He will use his best efforts to complete this, which makes those people's favor towards Li Zhenhua even stronger. They were embarrassed to say that Li Zhenhua guided them to the current concerns about postal and telecommunications, transportation, and the development of mineral resources in the ancient region. Li Zhenhua first talked about the issues of commercial trade and the ban on the G ancient people, and then the princes began to talk. First, Li Zhenhua expressed his opposition to the previous "reduction policy" against the G ancient people. The future Mng ancient people are us. A member of the big family of the motherland will never be reduced in the future. You must know that from the Ming Dynasty, the number of Mnggu people was 12 million. By the late Qing Dynasty, their population had been reduced to more than 400,000. The previous dynasties never trusted the nomads in the north. Because they grew up on the vast prairie, they developed their unique living habits, but the ruling classes of the past dynasties did not understand them and only regarded them. Some restrictive policies were adopted, but the Qing government focused on their rule in two ways: one was "using both grace and power" and the other was "governing according to customs". These two guarantees the Qing government's successful rule of Mnggu. Li Zhenhua believes that the Qing Dynasty can rule Mnggu for a long time. In the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, Mnggu was much stronger than other dynasties. But in order for Mnggu to be truly powerful, first, there must be a strong central governing body, and secondly, Strengthening the integration between various ethnic groups allows them to truly integrate with the Chinese nation and "share weal and woe" with the entire Chinese nation. This will prevent other countries and ethnic groups from dividing the ancient Mng ethnic group in the future. As the central government, it is: first, it must become stronger; second, it must pay more attention to and protect its own ethnic minorities and integrate them as soon as possible. First, it must cancel the "reduction policy" that has been implemented for many years and support them to the maximum extent so that they can become rich as soon as possible. . Let¡¯s start walking step by step. The development of postal and telecommunications and transportation is an important step and prerequisite for border development. Since the late Qing Dynasty, officials and princes with relatively new ideas who had planned border development began to realize the importance of developing postal and telecommunications and transportation industries in strengthening the border and developing the border economy. People also began to make preparations. At the end of the 19th century, only two telegraph lines were opened in the Mng ancient area, leading out of Zhangjiakou.The other one is the Northeast Main Line relay line from Pangjiang, Wude, Taolin to Kulun and Qiaketu, passing through the Eastern Mng Ancient League Banner. During the New Deal period, new telegraph offices were successively established in Changtu, Liaoyuan, Taonan, Chifeng, Guihuacheng, Ulyasutai, Khovd, Altai and other towns, and telegraph contact services were opened. Due to the needs of northern border defense and economic development, the Qing government attached great importance to the postal lines in ancient Mongolian areas. The originally established post station transmission could no longer adapt to the development of modern society. Border officials and Mng ancient princes have repeatedly called for changing the backwardness of postal services in the northern frontier and speeding up the establishment of postal services. In 1894, the 20th year of Guangxu's reign, Changtu and Chaoyang bureaus belonging to the Niuzhuang General Post Office were established in eastern China. The current new government has established the Department of Postal and Telecommunications, and Sheng Xuanhuai, who serves as the concurrent minister, told them that the postal and telecommunications industry must be gradually promoted as soon as possible in Mongolian areas. Most of the postal lines in ancient Mng areas were rebuilt from the original post stations, and post offices were established in some important towns and thoroughfares, such as Guihua, Suiyuan, Saraqi, Baotou, Helinger, and Tuoketuo. , Wuyuan, Wuchuan, Kulun, Kyaktu, Taonan, Liaoyuan, Chifeng, Changtu, Chaoyang and other post offices. In this way, postal lines throughout ancient regions can form a new pattern of postal services in modern ancient society. In addition to the telegraph and postal industries that the government wants to organize, you can also start up your own businesses. The central government will give you strong support. Sheng Xuanhuai happily agreed when the Karaqin Prince Gongsan Norbu of the Eastern Mng Banner asked him to start a telegraph and postal business jointly operated by the banner and Weichang County. Text Chapter 424 The Mongolian Issue (2) Text Chapter 424: Mongolian Issues (2) Chapter 424: Mng Ancient Issues (2) Chapter 424: Mng Ancient Issues (2) In addition, the transportation industry corresponding to the vast land and resources in ancient Mng areas must also be developed, and some ancient and modern Mng areas have also begun to appear. The modern transportation industry that organizes long-distance bus transportation and plans to build railways. "Mng Ancient Industrial Company" plans car transportation from Zhangjiakou to Kulun. Minister of Kulun Service Sanduo has made a detailed plan to purchase Xinghua Group Company's cars and explore and build stations along the way. Seeing that the trains in the mainland are extending in all directions, they also began to prepare to build railways between Mnggu and other regions. These had become a hot mn topic at the time. They proposed to build 5 trunk lines: 1. The Jinyuan line will run through Jinzhou via Chaoyang, Xiaokulun, Liaoyuan and Taonan. Arrival at Yuanhui, etc. 22 Zhangjiakou line runs from Beijing to Zhangjiakou Railway Extension to Waimnggu Kulun and then to Kyaktu 3 Zhangjiakou to Urumqi and Yili lines start from Zhangjiakou via Suiyuan, Guihua, Baotou, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, and Urumqi To Yili 4. The Zhangjin Line runs from Zhangjiakou to Jinzhou via Duolun, Chifeng, and Chaoyang. 5. The Kuyi Railway runs from Kulun across Waimnggu to Yili. d. Beat. Right) Their idea was bold enough. Just surveying these routes would take a long time. However, as the Minister of Railways, Zhan Tianyou agreed to put their ideas into his own work plan. Another thing is about the establishment of schools. The new schools planned to be established can be divided into three types: one is the school established under the auspices of the local and national governments; the other is the school established for the ancient regions or neighboring provinces, prefectures and counties; and the other is This is a new school run by Mng Banner. Minister of Education Liang Qichao, who can already speak in some standard language, readily promised them to give them active support. He could give them some funds first and also consider giving them a group of graduates from mainland normal schools to enrich their teaching staff. On the spot, they decided to set up a "new Mng school", a male and female primary school and a junior normal school in Tangnu Ulianghai, Kulun and Uliasutai to recruit Tuva, Tushe Tuhan and The children of the Mng princes of the Chechen Khan tribe and the Shabi children of the temple are enrolled in the school "specializing in Manchu, Mng, and Chinese languages ????to quickly adapt to the current needs of the rapid development of the situation." At the same time, as the Minister of Commerce, Qiao Zhiyong also said that all the original bans on the ancient region of Mng should be broken, and a large number of industrial and agricultural products should be brought into the ancient region as soon as possible. The dumping policy of the Russians on the ancient region of Mng should be broken, and we should support the ancient region with our strong production capacity. Economic development and economic construction in ancient areas. Zheng Guanying also expressed his intention to set up customs in border areas such as Kyakhta and begin to levy customs duties on Russian products imported there to restrict the import of their goods and protect local national industry and commerce. Duan Qirui also promised to provide a part of the cavalry and automobile troops to support his own. Protect the common people and some new facilities, and at the same time provide a batch of new weapons and equipment to the princes and princes to form their own militia organizations, so that they can defend themselves against foreign interference and aggression. Those ancient princes did not expect that they would get so many benefits when they came to Beijing. Only then did they truly feel that they were part of the Chinese nation. In Beijing, they felt like they were at home. They were so happy that they also swore to Li Zhenhua: They must always maintain absolute agreement with the new central government and guarantee that they will not have any other ideas. If there is that "Badmayev Commercial Company" and then there is When they come to the Mng ancient area, we will resolutely wipe them out. After several days of conversation, the relationship between the people has obviously become closer. Li Zhenhua invited them to his new factory to visit textile factories, tanneries, flour mills, and some military industries. He even gave them a special train ride there. After arriving in Tianjin, we visited our own warships. They were surprised by the huge warships. Those accompanying them told them that these were just small warships. Large warships could not enter in such a river. Our own large warships were far away. This makes them more confident in their country. Finally, he took them to his aviation school in the eastern suburbs. It is an aircraft manufacturing factory and is also his new aircraft experimental ground. He asked them to go to the aircraft manufacturing workshop to take a look. They were very interested in those huge aircraft and then Let them actually watch the flight show of the aircraft. The ancient princes were so incredible that such a big guy could fly. How could they fly? They shouted in unison: "Eagle, Eagle." A designer next to him immediately said: "Okay, let's call this model of aircraft the Eagle." People applauded together, which made those Mng ancient princes also greatly surprised. I was very happy that such a plane was named by us. Li Zhenhua, who was standing aside, smiled and nodded in agreement. His agreement made them feel even more proud. It's getting late. Aircraft factory.The leaders prepared food and listened to the Mnggu compatriots drinking. They prepared a lot, but the Mnggu compatriots were unwilling to drink today. Gongsan Norbu said to Li Zhenhua and some of the people accompanying him: "Please let me drink." Let¡¯s go back. Seeing the rapid development of our country, we can¡¯t sit still anymore. Let¡¯s go back quickly. But we can¡¯t wait at all.¡± ¡°So you don¡¯t have to wait until next year to go back?¡± Li Zhenhua said in confusion. He asked: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" "You don't know? It turns out that we came here to ask for something from the emperor, but those people below kept delaying it and refused to give it to us, so they had to wait for us. Nothing happened when I went back, so I spent the winter here, but things are different now. The whole country is developing. We can¡¯t just sit here and be guests. We have to go back and be our own masters, and we can¡¯t always lag behind the rest of the country. ¡± Seeing their sincerity. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to agree to let them start eating and then immediately return to Beijing to ask the relevant ministries to prepare things for them and send them back. A secretary next to Li Zhenhua asked Li Zhenhua in a low voice: "What about that little classmate named Feng Ru? Are you going to meet him again today?" "Of course we are going to meet him. I arranged the time like this just to see him. Please invite him." Come." The guards and secretaries all knew that Corporal Li Zhenhua Lixian was very interested in a child. They went right away. Text Chapter 425 The Mongolian Issue (3) Text Chapter 425: Mongolian Issues (3) Chapter 425: Mng Ancient Issues (3) Chapter 425: Mng Ancient Issues (3) After a while, several officers came over, and at the same time, there was the child Feng Ru. They all saluted immediately when they saw Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua also returned the gift to them, and then Li Zhenhua called Feng Ru over. Feng Ru came in front of him and saluted Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua also returned the gift to him, which made people feel a little incredible. I have never seen such an old commander-in-chief return a gift to a child. "How's it going? How do you feel about Feng Ru being here?" "Thank you so much. I'm studying very well here and it also fulfills many of my wishes. Especially I understand the principles of airplane flight. In the United States, they But I¡¯m not allowed to watch or learn because I¡¯m Chinese.¡± An officer next to him came up and said to Li Zhenhua: ¡°What kind of student did you give us, Commander-in-Chief? He is simply a genius in flying. He can understand aircraft theory at a glance and he can actually put forward a lot of opinions on our aircraft manufacturing. Even the American experts admire him. I now plan to let him do an internship in aircraft manufacturing so that he can systematically study it in the future. "You can study, or you can study with problems." "But there is one thing you must remember to convey to his direct leader wherever he goes to work, that is, no matter what reasons he has, he cannot let him go. He flew the plane himself. "Why?" "You don't have to ask why this is an order I must stick to." Li Zhenhua said to Feng Ru again: "My hope for you is this. I very much hope that you can make your own contribution to our aviation cause." Feng Ru immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief. I will not embarrass you." The next day, the ancient princes began to accept. The work gave them too many things, weapons and equipment, food, and a large number of daily necessities. These are some real items. There are also some things on paper, which are future cultural education, postal and telephone planning, and preparations for automobile transportation. A letter of intent for cooperation in developing mineral resources, technical information for enterprises in various places, and finally a large number of military, industrial, agricultural, scientific and technological, educational and other personnel sent to them. Each alliance is equipped with three vehicles of various materials and personnel, and behind the three vehicles there is another vehicle pulling the fuel used by these vehicles. Minister of Commerce Qiao Zhiyong kept apologizing to them, saying that time was too tight and I could only give you these things first. Once our trade routes are opened, a large number of goods will be delivered to the Mng ancient area. The next day, those Mnggu princes were about to set off. Their trip was really worth it. The relevant government officials came to see them off. Mrs. Yaqi also came. The leaders of the six alliances knelt down in front of Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua hurriedly said to They said: "We are not allowed to kneel. Everyone, please come up. We are a family. Don't be polite." The country will never betray our country. We must improve our own place and we will not just ask the central government for anything. We feel guilty in our hearts. " "We know you don't like to kneel, but. This is the oath that our six tribes made here to Changshengtian. If it changes, the world will not tolerate it." Several leaders of the Mnggu tribes stood up with tears in their eyes. They all climbed into their cars and waved to Li Zhenhua and Yaqi. Farewells were said and they set off with tears in their eyes. Not long after, Li Zhenhua received a report from the Ministry of Intelligence. Gongsan Norbu personally supervised the erection of electric poles and selected strong men from the banner to travel to and from Beijing and Haraqin in three shifts to deliver mail and set up postal agencies and telegram reception offices. Each department and alliance has also begun its own work. The Hulunbuir League also opened telegraph communication services in their Hailar, Manzhouli and other places to facilitate commercial trade between China and Russia. Other tribes and alliances have also taken action to start the construction of Gu Gu. Russia's "Badmayev Commercial Company" is also quickly withdrawing from the MNG region. If it doesn't stop, it will be impossible because many of their people have disappeared for a long time for no reason. This is not possible. Aren't all of them gone? These people Not all of the disappearances were caused by intelligence agents, but some of them were punished by some local MNG ancients because their business practices were too shady. It's okay to see several mng ancient princes taking away a large amount of things. But for the silver, Li Zhenhua felt that it was too inconvenient. He and Xu Shichang discussed together to expand the issuance of silver coins and banknotes in the country. Xu Shichang also felt the same way about carrying it. Such a large amount of money is inconvenient for merchants to travel far away, and it is even more inconvenient. Although there are banknotes with ticket numbers, it is still inconvenient in practice. Li Zhenhua invites the Minister of FinanceXu Shichang, Minister of Commerce Qiao Zhiyong and some of their fellow invoice accountants. At the same time, Zheng Guanying is invited to attend the meeting. He represents one of the largest incomes of the entire government. At the same time, Mr. Wang Chi is also invited to attend the meeting. He has the title of King of Money. Another major figure attending the meeting was Jincheng, president of Xinghua Bank, a subsidiary of Xinghua Group Company. Li Zhenhua is still in his habit of getting straight to the point and stating the matter. That is, according to the current gradual expansion of commercial operations, the currency used in people's hands can no longer keep up with the situation. It is inconvenient to carry, collect payments, and make change. These inconveniences are added to the problem. Together, it will directly affect people's business activities. No need to hammer the drum, no need to elaborate. These financial heavyweights knew immediately that Li Zhenhua was going to carry out monetary reforms. This was the general trend. People also knew that the time had come when reforms were necessary. Everyone wanted to do this. Know what kind of reform it is. Li Zhenhua asked Jincheng to explain to everyone the situation of the issuance of silver coins in the south. After several years of hard work, Jincheng has become China's leader in finance. He immediately gave everyone a detailed explanation of his issuance of silver coins in Guangzhou and Fangcheng and in Annan. Some precautions should be paid attention to during the issuance. wait. After listening to Jincheng's explanation, Li Zhenhua asked people to discuss what kind of currency we should issue now, such as silver, gold, or banknotes. He asked everyone to discuss it first. Although there were many people, everyone thought that silver should be used as currency. The main body of currency is to expand the issuance of silver dollars originally issued in Guangzhou. There is no need to consider other issues. Text Chapter 426 Currency Reform Text Chapter 426 Currency Reform Chapter 426 Currency Reform Chapter 426 Currency Reform The silver dollar issued in Guangzhou is 0.76 taels, which means that after removing the weight of pure silver after fire consumption, there is no need to consider income and silver anymore. The problem of fire consumption is to calculate the number of blocks. This can reduce many unnecessary troubles in circulation. Then there are some auxiliary coins, which are dimes used for change. Everyone agrees that it is more ideal to use brass to make auxiliary coins. It is the same as the original copper coins, except that there is a square hole in it. People usually call it Brother Kong Fang. The five-cent coins are made of silver, the one-cent coins are made of brass, and the remaining five-cent coins, two-cent coins, and one-cent coins are all made of brass, so that everyone can distinguish them more clearly. The issuing bank will ask Xinghua Bank to continue issuing the money. Then everyone can support this matter together. In addition, Xu Shichang proposed that what should be used to make the pattern on the silver dollar? Many countries print the portraits of their own country's leaders on it. Now that we are going to issue new coins, we must print the portrait of Li Zhenhua on it. Li Zhenhua believes that we in China have Many scenery such as the Great Wall, Huangguoshu Waterfall, etc. can be printed on currency. Everyone disagreed with Li Zhenhua's point of view. As a result, Li Zhenhua quoted a classic saying to express his surrender: "Okay, okay, the minority will obey the majority and just follow everyone's opinions. Dotted with hands." Although it is just a joke here, it will be used in many situations in the future. The servants also began to abide by this rule. After discussing and approving these currency issues, Li Zhenhua felt that there was still a problem, that is, in places without banks, such as Mnggu and some remote areas in Gansu, people who did not have bank branches still had to carry a large amount of heavy money for business. Therefore, he suggested using paper to print a batch of large-denomination currency, such as fifty taels or some one hundred taels. If people go out again, they can just bring a bundle of one hundred taels and there is no need to worry about servants. If some carriages and horses are pulled there, the problem will be truly solved. After people's cultural level gradually improves and some anti-counterfeiting signs are added, more low-priced currencies can be printed, and it will be truly convenient. After the approval, Li Zhenhua immediately asked Xu Shichang to prepare to build three mints in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. The Guangzhou factory was asked to expand its scale. The Shanghai one was built on the Suzhou River and the Beijing one was next to Liulichang. For mint workers, it is necessary to select reliable people to work there. Although people generally expressed support for this silver dollar issue, it saved many problems of directly using silver, but still did not solve the problem of mn coordination. Li Zhenhua's purpose was to directly issue banknotes. Jincheng understood what Li Zhenhua meant and saw that after studying for a long time, people also Feeling a little tired, he suggested that people take a rest before continuing the discussion tomorrow. The rest of the people left. Sheng Xuanhuai, Wang Chi, Xu Shichang and Jincheng stayed to discuss currency issues directly with Li Zhenhua. Jincheng was a professional and Li Zhenhua knew these things very well. They all knew that whether it was pounds or US dollars, they were all using some banknotes. They directly exchanged some Chinese commodities. This is also a way for them to use economic means to invade us, and our large amounts of silver and gold just watch them flow into the hands of foreigners. The gold standard now adopted by the United Kingdom and the United States uses their own domestic gold as collateral to print banknotes. Others don¡¯t know how much gold they have as collateral, but we have a lot of it. Now it¡¯s just the gold stored in the national treasury. It has reached 300 tons, which means that the conditions for issuing banknotes are fully met. First, Jincheng is responsible for explaining to everyone why paper money is issued. In view of the gold standard currently implemented by Western countries, they have used a large amount of commodities to exchange a large amount of gold and silver from our country. From 1840 to now, the quantity is the least. Hundreds of tons of gold and silver must have flowed into foreign countries. Therefore, we must also issue banknotes. Of course, everyone knows the benefits of issuing banknotes. A large amount of gold, silver, and brass will be used in large quantities for military and industrial purposes. We cannot allow these rare metals to flow abroad again. We must ourselves Take control. In addition, we now issue banknotes and we have a certain influence in the entire Asian region. We are the main ones. In addition, Japan, North Korea, the Philippines, Annan, Indonesia and other South Asian countries are now inseparable from us. In the entire China Our banknotes must be welcomed by various countries in this economic circle as the center. After Jincheng's explanation, people immediately agreed on the issue of issuing banknotes. Now that everyone agreed, it was time to discuss the issue of currency value, that is, the question of how many Chinese dollar banknotes one silver dollar is equal to. This issue was ultimately decided by Jincheng. One silver dollar is equal to one dollar. The original silver dollar value of the ten-yuan note was too high, which meant two?Five Chinese yuan is equal to one dollar. Four and a half Chinese yuan is equal to one pound. The following is the question of how much to issue first. After everyone's joint discussion, it was finally decided to issue 100 million Chinese yuan banknotes to be used in common circulation with the silver dollars on the market. The name of the paper currency is called the Chinese Yuan. Banknotes are divided into ten yuan, five yuan, one yuan and five cents, one dime, five cents, two cents, and one cent. After some investigation, these high-level people finally knew the real purchasing power of these currencies. That is, two cents can buy a chicken egg for two cents. You can buy a set of matches, a pound of millet for 1.5 cents, a pound of white flour for 1.8 cents, and pork rut for 6.5 cents. ¡° Only then did people realize how inconvenient it was for ordinary people to buy things. This has made some people who have different opinions on currency reform completely agree that pursuing currency reform is not only beneficial to the people, but also from other aspects, the labor and fire consumption used to mint coins is a huge amount every year. It is estimated that it will be no less than one million taels of silver per year. And one million taels would not be used to build a factory for printing banknotes. The banknote printing factory was built in the western suburbs of Tianjin. Li Zhenhua didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe it was because the Yangliuqing paintings there were particularly famous. Let some people there design it and then get it approved and then you can start printing. Let Xu Shichang arrange this matter. I estimate that he will be very attentive and the design will be excellent. First, let the military factory in Shanghai get a mold master and give it to the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance gave it to Xinghua Bank, and they immediately deposited it in the basement of the vault. This thing is something that cannot be seen casually. Text Chapter 427 Establishing Multiple Banks Text Chapter 427 Establishing Multiple Banks Chapter 427 Establishing Multiple Banks Chapter 427 Establishing Multiple Banks Jincheng talked with several financial experts and suggested that they also form new banks and adopt internationally advanced management models like those that were more commonly used in the past. It is obviously unscientific to use Chinese characters to record numbers. It is not as convenient as using Arabic numerals. Furthermore, the method of recording numbers from top to bottom is not as convenient as left to right. But in terms of confidentiality, it is better than using Arabic numerals. For example, if a banknote is issued by someone at one bank, you will know which bank it is issued by by someone at another bank. If you use Arabic numerals, it will not be easy to see. But it can be said that in addition to using Arabic numerals to record it as lowercase, and then using Chinese characters to record it as uppercase, this problem will be solved. But the current world situation has become the general trend. The original ticket number has obviously lagged behind. They are all economic experts. They have already seen these problems. However, due to the unstable situation in China, they are unable to carry out reforms and add new ones. Regarding the situations in foreign countries, they only know the superficial aspects and the actual things, but they don't know at all. They all agreed and unanimously requested Jincheng to help them with the restructuring. So Jincheng readily agreed and said to them: "It's all thanks to the Commander-in-Chief that I can enter the banking industry again. It turns out that when I withdrew from the British bank, they told me that they would not let me enter the banking industry again in the future. But their bank has already withdrawn from China. They are so unreasonable. " "Now it is our own business. I will teach everyone the world-style methods and never hide anything." Listen. Everyone laughed after hearing his words. These people were also very grateful to Li Zhenhua. During the rebellion, Li Zhenhua's Beijing Intelligence Office warned them many times to keep their cash safe and not fall into the hands of the rebels. If it gets into their hands, it will be over, and it will be like a rut bun and a dog with no return. At the last critical moment, they asked the relevant ticket companies to shrink their business and reduce their personnel in Beijing. On the last day, the people from the intelligence office asked them to move all the remaining personnel to their hotel. In the evening, they sent all their important personnel to Fengtian. This prevented all the remaining personnel, property and account books from being affected at all. As for losses, you must know that when the British and French forces entered Beijing forty years ago, they all suffered great losses. Not only the financial staff, but also the houses were burned down. They all know that China¡¯s new leader has the same heart as them, will not deceive them or harm them, and is only sincere to them. To be honest, Qiao Zhiyong has the most experience. When Zuo Zongtang went to the west, Empress Dowager Cixi borrowed more than two million taels of silver from the Qiao family. However, the old woman did not have the money to repay her, and she never planned to repay the money. He kept dragging his feet and finally sold it to Qiao Zhiyong, a second-grade top wearer, for two million taels of silver. This made Qiao Zhiyong really dumbfounded. This is how the Qiao family also gave money to help Li Zhenhua during Li Zhenhua's Western Expedition. Li Zhenhua knew these situations. Qiao Zhiyong was a patriot. He didn't just like money. So when Li Zhenhua ended the war, he devoted himself to mn. I found Qiao Zhiyong's family and expressed that they would pay back the two million taels of silver to the deceased Empress Dowager Cixi. This was a matter of the state and Qiao Zhiyong's family could not be allowed to pay so much money. When Qiao Zhiyong heard this, he immediately said: "General, the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu sold me a hat for two million taels. Now that the general has saved my life, how much money do I have to pay to buy it back from you? General, yours is Instead of thanking you for saving my life, I came to pay you back my money. That¡¯s where I put my old face.¡± Li Zhenhua said: ¡°You can¡¯t take it alone, it should be returned to you by the country.¡± " Qiao Zhiyong also said: "General Li, do you need the country's money to lead the army to fight in the north and south? Aren't you also using your own troops to fight for the country? Compared with the general, I am far behind. I only get money. But the general risked his life to fight. I only admired him and asked the general not to mention the repayment. "A sensible person is easy to talk to. Soon the two became close friends. At the same time, they both had financial resources. In terms of business, our relationship soon became even better. Even the original friendship between Mao Dun and the Shanxi people was diluted by the friendly relationship between Li and Qiao. Because of the huge business volume of Xinghua Bank, those people also benefited a lot. However, there are some people who are petty, so Qiao Zhiyong told them that their business volume is large because they are well-run, and we have already benefited from them a lot. If they don't give us anything, we have to watch them make money. But they are not like this. Instead, they give us the opportunity to make money. What else can we say? If it were the original Chaoting, they wouldWhat can you do to take your money? "Just like me, I was in prison at the time. If my family wanted to see me, they would have to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. What could we do?" But now they are wholeheartedly helping us. The owners of those bank accounts immediately proposed their own bank names. The Cao family wants to establish a "Bank of China", the Li family wants to establish a "Construction Bank", and the Zhao family also wants to find several companies to establish "development banks" and "commercial banks" and so on. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time. Seeing that everyone is actively preparing for the establishment of a bank, Xu Shichang, who is in charge of finance, is very satisfied, so he said to Li Zhenhua: "We also need to set up a competent authority. I want to set up China." As the management agency of the Imperial Bank, please give me this golden city and let him take charge of this bank as the deputy minister of finance." Li Zhenhua glanced at Xu Shichang, you are poaching people from me, but there is nothing you can do about it. The only person who is proficient in the banking industry is Jincheng. For the sake of the overall interests of the country, he had to let go. The following is the publicity work of the issuance. Various media are very supportive of this. They spared no effort in publicity and soon the common people across the country knew about the currency reform. The common people now admire the above very much. Only the above When it comes to it, no one in the common people disagrees. Text Chapter 428 Gunman Text Chapter 428 The Gunman Chapter 428 The Gunman Chapter 428 The Gunman Avna? Abil wrote another letter. In the letter, she also sent a photo of herself and her child. The little guy has black hair and a pair of black eyes. His eye sockets are big and deep. Some Avna Abil said that the child resembled his father, but Li Zhenhua felt that he was more like his mother. Yaqi picked up the photo and looked at it. Then she picked up the letter and read it: "Dear husband: Your Avna, Abil and your son miss you all the time" "It's so numb. Do you believe this?" "I think it's not as good as you?" Jin Xifeng laughed and imitated Yaqi's tone and said: "Husband, I miss you so much that I think of you every time I close my eyes" Yaqi His face turned red and he rushed towards Jin Xifeng. The two of them started to fight. After a while, Li Zhenhua's room was filled with documents. The documents on the table flew everywhere. He was breathing heavily. When Li Zhenhua saw them, he hurriedly stopped the two of them: "Stop, are you looking at what the house looks like?" The original relationship between the two of them and Li Zhenhua was not revealed to the three of them. People talk to each other very casually, but because Li Zhenhua has been too busy with work recently and has a lot of work pressure, he sometimes can't accompany them. In addition, he is going to be the emperor recently, which makes the two of them have trouble with Li Zhenhua's way of speaking and doing things. Much restrained. d. Beat. ) But because the careless Li Zhenhua didn't pay attention to these little things, he thought they were still the same. But his voice startled the two beauties. They immediately stopped and stood there honestly. Li Zhenhua was shocked when he saw it. It turned out that they were not afraid of him. Why did they become like this now? You see them standing there with their heads down, not daring to move. As soon as Li Zhenhua saw it, he immediately walked over and pulled them together to sit on the sofa. The two sat down obediently, but they did not dare to look into Li Zhenhua's eyes. Seeing their appearance, Li Zhenhua smiled and said to them: "Don't be so sullen. It's my fault that my voice was too loud just now, which made you scared. I apologize to you." The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they were not completely relieved yet. The ground returned to its original appearance. Li Zhenhua took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from their faces and said to them both: "You remember that you and your children are all mine at any time." We are a family and I won¡¯t have any other thoughts about you, and you shouldn¡¯t have any other thoughts about me. Everything I did was for you.¡± These words moved the two beauties to tears. They are all happy that they can marry Li Zhenhua, not to mention other men. In this world, that is a woman's heaven and everything to a woman. No matter what the man is, it is his own destiny. However, neither of them understood that Li Zhenhua had never taken Jin Xifeng into his house. But his own man has never spoken loudly to him. He always respects their wishes in everything. Whether on the battlefield or when he is tired from training, he is always caring for his women. He will give her face wash. You wash first and even wash the feet of the woman you love, but the two never let him wash them. They think women's feet are unclean. This is an inherent thought in their hearts and they must never let their beloved touch them. it. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Zhenhua asked the two of them to rest together. Sometimes the effect of lipstick is much better than on the sofa. But today, Li Zhenhua was not in the mood to do lipstick early. He still had many things to deal with. Li Zhenhua often likes to exercise when he gets up in the morning. This day he got up early again. When he arrived in the backyard, there were already some guards and soldiers training. Li Zhenhua knew that those under his command were all a bunch of great people. Some of them were Some martial arts masters are sharpshooters, some are ingenious, and some are clever and flexible. But one thing is that he is absolutely loyal to Li Zhenhua. There is no doubt that Li Zhenhua often practices with them. They can all master Li Zhenhua's grappling and fighting techniques very well, so they all consider themselves to be Li Zhenhua's students. This is what Li Biao, the boss of the guard, said. It turns out that Li Biao has been by Li Zhenhua's side from those fights to military command, from a series of battles against the French to the anti-aggression war against Japan. He himself is also studying hard, so He quickly grew into an excellent military commander, but he always said that he was Li Zhenhua's real student in front of others and behind his back, so the guards in the future also said that they were Li Zhenhua's students. Now when the guards saw Li Zhenhua coming out, they stopped their activities and surrounded Li Zhenhua. They all liked to watch Li Zhenhua shoot. It was really amazing. Shoot wherever you point. Today they let Li Zhenhua in again.?A few performing soldiers have already placed a target for him. Today's target is ten cigarettes at a distance of thirty meters. They are only slightly thicker than bullets and can't even be seen by those with poor eyesight. But Li Zhenhua took them casually. Passed by an 1897a twenty-shot repeating pistol handed over by the guard. Li Zhenhua laughed when he saw it: "You are deliberately trying to tease me! When have I hit such a target?" The soldiers laughed, but after all, he checked the pistol and raised his palm to Next, he started firing the cigarettes one by one from right to left. Twenty seconds later, the cigarettes were all hit. People all applauded. This is not easy. Li Zhenhua said to people: "Bomb. Who else will try it?" "A young soldier stood up and said, "Let me give it a try." As he said that, he had already walked to Li Zhenhua. He pulled Li Zhenhua's pistol and took out a magazine. He pulled out four bullets from the magazine. Everyone understood what he meant when he fired bullets. He was going to hit ten cigarette butts with the same bullet. Li Zhenhua was very familiar with this little guy. His name was Xiao Huzi. He was a child he picked up on the road during the Western Expedition last year. When he saw him, he was about to starve to death. Li Zhenhua saw that he was very pitiful and took him in. Li Zhenhua looked at him. At a young age, he was allowed to be with the guards, and the soldiers also liked him very much. This kid was born to play with guns. The soldiers didn't let him use guns at first, so he just watched the soldiers practice for a long time. Later, Sun Feihu saw that he had a soft spot for guns, so he let him Try telling him carefully how to use the gun and then let him try shooting twice. Text Chapter 429 Yaqi¡¯s Investment Text Chapter 429 Yaqi¡¯s Investment Chapter 429 Yaqi¡¯s Investment Chapter 429 Yaqi¡¯s Investment Xiaohuzi opened Sun Feihu¡¯s eyes at this moment. The two shots were actually ten rings. Sun Feihu thought he might be right, so he let him shoot three more times. I didn't expect him to be so calm and unhurried. I didn't see how he aimed three shots and went out to see three more ten rings. Sun Feihu knew that this was a shocking genius and reported it to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua immediately equipped him with a gun. It was a gun that Yaqi asked the people in the military factory to make for Special Mn. The others were more than 90 centimeters long. Only this gun was more than 10 centimeters shorter, only 80 centimeters. The length is also the lance used by the cavalry. It's just that the sh range was a little closer. Later, the soldiers all changed to 1897-style 20-gun guns, and he also changed the rifles to pistols. Li Zhenhua hasn't seen him play yet, so I can take a look today. He still raised the gun calmly like that, then the first shot missed, and then he finished the cigarettes in one breath. Eleven rounds knocked out ten targets. Li Zhenhua looked at the cigarettes that had fallen on the ground, and an idea came to his mind, which was to organize a sniper training class for him to train those people specifically. So Li Zhenhua stopped exercising today and immediately asked Xiao Huzi to follow him to the office. Li Zhenhua said to him, "I'm going to send you to run a training class specifically for shooting training. How about it?" Unexpectedly, this guy didn't even think about it. If you don't want to, just say: "I won't go." "What's wrong?" "I have had no father or mother since I was a child. Now I don't have any relatives. You took me in at that time and you are my relatives. Now I am following you and I am not going anywhere. " His words really made Li Zhenhua speechless. Li Zhenhua decided not to talk about it today and would talk to him another day, so he changed the topic: "How much time do you have to study culture every day?" "I don't like those words or anything like that. I just like playing with guns. d. Hit." It turned out that he regarded shooting as a job. "Well, I will give you a task, which is to learn five Chinese characters every day." This time it was the turn of this talented sniper to have a headache: "Can I not learn it?" "No, this is the task." "Okay. Then I'll start learning to read." Li Zhenhua gave him a pen he used, found some blank paper, and ordered a notebook for him. Then he called Jin Xifeng over and said to her: "From today on, Xiao Huzi will be your student. He must learn five Chinese characters every day. If you are not around, let him learn from others." Wang Xin was happy when he heard this. If you are willing to be a teacher, come immediately and lead the little tiger away. Li Zhenhua called his military research institute again and asked who was responsible for firearms research and asked him to come to my place. In the morning, a technician from the Military Industry Research Institute came. He went directly to Li Zhenhua's office. Li Zhenhua asked him if he had made a sniper rifle. The technician immediately said that he had not. Li Zhenhua thought about it and drew him a picture of the original Chinese People's Liberation Army column. The drawing of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. Caliber 62mm Muzzle velocity 735 meters per second Effective sh range 400 meters Sh speed 3540 rounds Ammunition capacity 10 rounds Full gun length (bayonet open) 1260mm (bayonet folded) 1020mm Full gun weight 85kg There is also another world-famous gun ak47 The original muskets were gradually transferred to the hands of the militia or local troops. It is not possible now, and the gradual transfer will not be completed until the First World War. Those two new rifles were designed to prepare for the First World War. The initial method was to make money from them. Then they send troops to help them fight because the Americans have set a good example for themselves. If you don't learn from them, you would be very sorry for yourself as a time traveler. Let them develop a four-power scope that can be used on rifles. After that, they can also develop a larger power scope. That will be a matter of the future. However, my rifle will be disadvantageous to the Russian army's future Moxing Nagan rifles if they are used in hand-to-hand combat. The total length of my weapon will only be 1260mm in the future, but the Russian army's Moxing Nagan has a total length of 1600mm. If the extra thirty centimeters are used on a bayonet, it will be a big advantage. It will also increase the shooting distance and increase the scope. It can also be used as a sniper gun in the future. The best way is not to fight them with bayonets and just use firepower to deal with them. If you are far away, use a long weapon. If you are close, you can use a pistol. You just need to ensure your own logistical support during the battle. After explaining clearly to the rifle development personnel, they went to work on their own. At this time, Yaqi and Jin Xifeng??Come this time, they are not here to start a fight. They are here to see Li Zhenhua for something. Li Zhenhua didn't see the two of them in the morning. He knew that they were discussing their own affairs. When he saw them coming, he put down what he was doing. . Yaqi walked up to him and said to Li Zhenhua: "Husband, I have something to tell you. My adoptive father confessed something to me before he died. I have never told you about it. Now I will discuss it with sister Xifeng. I¡¯ll tell you later.¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you to decide what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°Prince Gong left me a sum of money.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± "You asked me to finish saying that this sum of money is not small." "How much is it?" "Seven million taels." "Seven million taels is not a small amount." Li Zhenhua said: "Go on. " "He always thought that his sons were useless, so he always loved his daughter. But his biological daughters were all dead, so he was very good to me. Before he died, he told me that he still had some money and couldn't give it to his sons. I was given a total of seven million taels for my own use." "I don't think I'm missing his sons. How did you deal with them? You can't treat his sons badly." "I have already given them. They arranged jobs. One went to teach at Peking University and the other went to work in a factory. Now their lives are pretty good. They have nothing to think about, so their jobs are pretty good and their lives are comparable. It's much better. They are very grateful to me and you as my brother-in-law." "That's fine. The money is for you, so you can handle it yourself. I don't care about these things." "I'm going to Mongolia this time. It¡¯s really too late to go to them. I discussed it with Sister Xifeng and I want to invest this money in the ancient area to help them build a new ancient city.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good for you too. Just take care of it yourself and I won't interfere with your personal affairs." Text Chapter 430 Producing Liquor Text Chapter 430: Producing Liquor Chapter 430: Producing Liquor Chapter 430: Producing Liquor Since the head of the family doesn¡¯t care about it, it¡¯s up to him to do what he wants. So the two of them divided the money into several parts for investment and at the same time donated to several institutions in Mng Gu. mng ancient school. For more than a month, Li Zhenhua discussed and studied with the ministers of various ministries every day to formulate measures one by one. When winter arrived, snowflakes began to fly, and the Navy also did a good job in recovering Sakhalin Island. They prepared a large amount of supplies for the garrison on the island. Since the land there is vast, rich in resources, and sparsely populated, there was no problem with food. But in order to be prepared, they still asked the local people to A large amount of food was purchased to prepare for the winter. It turns out that there are still many Chinese people on the island. Because the Russian army has made things difficult for them, their production and life are very difficult. Now that we have recovered the island, they have seen the long-lost Dragon Flag, which makes them feel that they are back in the embrace of the motherland. Seeing the huge warship of the Chinese Navy makes them all happy. It turns out that there are also some Russians on the island. After China regained the island, they did not leave and stayed. Seeing that the Chinese were treating them well and Russia no longer wanted them, they followed the Chinese wholeheartedly. The wealthier farmers (mostly Russians) saw that the Chinese army took great care of them. They didn't rob them, they were given cash for buying and selling grain, and they didn't have any objections. The relationship with the squadron is also very good. It turns out that when the Russian army was here, they often robbed people's things. They didn't care whether you were Chinese or Russian. They treated you the same. If you have anything, you'll rob it, especially liquor. If you see liquor, it's like meeting your biological father. You want to kiss him or not. You have to take it with you after you finish the drink, which makes the locals very disgusted, but there is nothing you can do about them. After the squadron came, I saw that the locals like to drink some high-strength liquor because the weather is too cold. They also store some liquor at home, but the Chinese are disciplined and cannot drink casually anywhere, but they can also drink some after finishing work. But drinking too much is not allowed. But Russians are different. Nowadays, people all know that many people freeze to death in Russia every year. In fact, the main reason is not because it is too cold there, but because of the wine. Those people do not distinguish between men and women. When they drink, they pay attention to drinking until they are done. From now on, they will lie down on the ground and fall asleep. If the temperature drops or it snows heavily, it will be hard to say. (When I go there, I often see people lying on the ground to sleep after drinking too much. Some even find a place to find a place. Some even fall asleep without even looking for a place. It turns out that the coats of the Soviet Red Army are quite thick. The woolen fabric is two or three millimeters thick, but it is of no use as it can still freeze people to death.) When the Marines get up or go on patrol in the morning, they often see people who have frozen to death, and they have to clean them up. They were very disgusted with this, but they could not ignore it. The officers were also very disgusted with this. Some soldiers joked: "The wine here is too cheap. You can drink enough with two yuan." Soldier Li Jun said: "Just This wine is so cheap and terrible that I won¡¯t even drink it if you give it to me. If I give us some wine, we¡¯ll all drink it to death.¡± The soldiers were all joking and no one took Li Jun¡¯s words seriously. But after a while, the amount of alcohol brought from the country became less and less, and the officers began to control the alcohol. People felt that there was less alcohol and the weather was cold. The officers were willing to let all soldiers drink a little, especially those who went out on duty. Drinking a little can keep you warmer, but because there is less wine, there will be less for the soldiers. Some people put forward the suggestion to make their own wine. Most people said that no one knew how to make wine, but an officer said: "That day there was a soldier Li Jun who said he knew how to make wine. Please ask him to come and ask." After Li Jun came, He immediately said that he could make wine but needed something. As soon as Ouyang Dongfang, the commander of the garrison on the island (the former commander of the Marine Corps) heard this, he immediately asked the logistics department mn to help Li Jun prepare the equipment for making wine and sent him a dozen people. Soldiers help. After several days of preparation, they prepared some large pots, steamers, cooling equipment, etc. They also made some equipment themselves. There was a lot of food here, so the winery opened. They first steamed the grains (mainly sorghum here) and then started to ferment them. They used a large homemade tin pot to cool down alcohol and other substances. The wine that came out was wine, and the wine was allowed to settle for a day. After a day, the impurities settled in. What's underneath is the wine. After more than ten days, they produced fine liquor. The taste was much better than what the locals had made before. So they immediately expanded production and produced more liquor. The common people didn't have any money, so let them use it. Food is exchanged for those who have money, and they are allowed to buy it with money. Since the quality of wine has gone up, although the price is higher, people still recognize it. In this way, it is just the sales of liquor.It¡¯s a considerable amount of income. Modern people all know that alcohol is a highly taxed product. Ouyang Dongfang was amused. He immediately reported to the provincial governor Liu Aluminum and then contacted the Ministry of Military Affairs. It was too far and there was no submarine cable. He could only use warships to send letters back and forth to the headquarters for equipment and ask the mainland to help produce a batch of equipment that could be installed. When the wine equipment headquarters found out, they immediately asked the logistics department to contact them and make them a batch of wine jars. During their conversation with Li Zhenhua, Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui told him about the fact that the soldiers on Sakhalin Island made their own wine and said that they wanted some utensils to hold the wine. Li Zhenhua was very happy when he heard it and suggested sending it there. The glass manufacturing technology of some glass bottles in the past and now is already available, and the cost is relatively low. Bottles can be used, and they also look better than jars. Then let people print a batch of exquisite labels, so that the wine will have the packaging and advertising awareness of modern wine. At the same time, Li Zhenhua also talked to the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce about wine making, so that localities with conditions can produce some high, medium and low-grade wine to meet the needs of people from all walks of life. In particular, famous wines in some places need to be protected, and Wu Tingfang is told to establish a trademark law and patent law to register and protect some good private products so that they can enjoy their own patent rights. For products with registered trademarks and patents, the country To protect. You must know that Chinese liquor is one of the best liquors in the world. These products can also be exchanged for a large amount of gold and silver. Text Chapter 431 The Origin of Harbin Beer Text Chapter 431 The Origin of Harbin Beer Chapter 431 The Origin of Harbin Beer Chapter 431 The Origin of Harbin Beer Furthermore, the production of cigarettes in Yunnan and other places is also being expanded. Now they are carrying out a campaign to ban opium, so that their addicts can switch to smoking. Stop smoking opium in cigarettes. That stuff is poisonous. From Lin Zexu to now, we have been unable to stop it for decades. We must resolutely stop this drug problem. We already know the harm it does to human beings, so let¡¯s mobilize the entire population to launch an anti-drug campaign. Cigarettes are also a high-tax product in a country. They are also a consumable product. The tax rate on cigarettes can reach up to 66. If you export them, the country will benefit greatly. Proper production is relatively good. beneficial. The people transporting the packaging bottles of wine to Sakhalin are divided into two routes. The packaging products produced in the south are transported by sea. The delicacies produced in the northeast are transported by sea. There is nothing to say, but warships must be escorted to prevent those two countries. If we want to trouble us, they should not dare to trouble us. Transportation cannot be taken lightly and must be protected by troops. The route is to start from the original Khabarovsk and go east to the seaside, then choose a suitable place to cross the sea and go directly to the island. The three northeastern provinces also mobilized some craftsmen who know how to make wine to help build the winery there. This is a technical job, not just a human being. The urban areas must firmly seize this profit growth point. At the same time, the three northeastern provinces have also begun large-scale production of liquor where conditions permit. At the call of Harbin Garrison Commander Chang Rui, due to the rapid development of Heilongjiang, a large number of foreign immigrants entered Harbin, mainly Russians. In order to meet the living needs of foreigners, Russian businessman Ulublevsky opened the first brewery in Harbin. Czechs and Germans also built several small breweries in various parts of Harbin. Soon the annual production capacity of Ulublevsky Brewery reached 300 tons. Later, they merged with the German Hagelmeyer Ruijermann Brewery. The factory was transferred to the Russian businessman Uvalov, who has been using the name of Harbin Brewery. It was then transferred to the Czech Republic Gavlek and the Chinese Li Zhuchen to share the camp. Soon it was transferred to the shared camp of Jie Pululuva (Gavlek's wife, Russian nationality) and Li Zhuchen. So far, the annual production capacity has reached 1,200 tons. The beer brand is "Harbin Brand" in Chinese. A large number of products are draft beer in wooden barrels and bottled cooked beer. The quantity is small and the wine quality is poor and the shelf life is short. The main sales targets are foreigners and some Chinese in Harbin and towns along the railway. From the beginning to after World War I, there were 8 breweries in Harbin, which were later merged into Harbin Brewery. This is the origin of Harbin Beer. Chang Rui didn¡¯t like drinking beer at first, but later he got used to it. He also specially sent Li Zhenhua a few barrels to Beijing. Li Zhenhua expressed that he was very satisfied with the beer in Harbin. It is said that the quality is better than that of Qingdao. Qingdao also produces beer, and Germans also like it very much. Li Zhenhua knows that although the Chinese people don¡¯t like it now, it will still be very popular in the near future, so he just needs to take his time. After a period of preparation, various places submitted designs for the national flag and national emblem, and collected a lot of patterns for the national anthem. There were also some music scores for the national anthem that participated in the selection. Li Zhenhua invites everyone to come together to select the national flag. The first thing is to choose the national flag. Over the years, Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Group Company has been using the dragon pattern. This pattern has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Besides, the Chinese have always used the descendant of the dragon as a metaphor for themselves, so the red face The pattern of a soaring dragon in the bottom of s was selected. Secondly, it is more difficult to decide on the national emblem. Many of the patterns sent are dragons, unicorns, lions and many others have not been decided yet. One day, Li Hongzhang passed by Tian'an Mn. He saw that the two Chinese watches in front were very meaningful, so he said to Li Zhenhua: "I'll give it a try, let's just use one Chinese watch." Li Zhenhua immediately agreed: "This is a good suggestion, Huabiao." The simple and unpretentious shape is much more powerful than the sculptures from other countries. The dragon on top also has obvious Chinese characteristics. " Others also agreed. The next thing is about the national anthem. There is a poem that has been recognized by everyone, but Li Zhenhua said that the masses may not understand it, so it should be processed. So Liang Qichao re-edited it and made it into vernacular, and Li Zhenhua modified it so that people all over the country could understand it. However, compared to those high-level intellectuals (that is, those who have read the Four Books and Five Classics), they may feel uncomfortable and disapproval, but as long as many grassroots people agree, that will be fine. The Chinese people are rising, the ancient China is changing its appearance, and we are asking who can defeat it in the world. Who can defeat the power of the three armed forces? Poverty and backwardness are far behind, and the strong military with science and technology is competing for the lead. Gathering people's hearts Qi people Qi people Qi Fen Jinshi, agricultural industry and commerce?Strive to enrich the country and strengthen the army and move forward. Liang Qichao asked the original music director of the Ministry of Rites to compose the music. Li Zhenhua reminded him that it would be better to let people from the private sector do it. This is a relationship between "Yang Baixue" and "Lower Riba people". If you want people to understand, it must come from the people. So the lyrics of the national anthem were distributed by newspapers to the people, allowing grassroots soldiers, workers, farmers and some folk musicians to adapt them. The chief designer of the Chinese ship, Wei Han, came. He and several of his colleagues brought the design drawings of the first aircraft carrier and the drawings of the seaplane carrier. Li Zhenhua first studied the drawings of the seaplane carrier with them. They planned to use a cargo ship. Now France has such a seaplane carrier. Underneath their seaplane are two ski-like things, but they are hollow to increase the buoyancy on the water. First, use a boom to hoist them from the warship. Go down and glide on the water. After reaching a certain speed, they can fly. After Li Zhenhua took a look at it, he felt that it was still possible, so he would modify one first to see the effect, that is, test it in practice and then know whether it works or not. Regarding the modification of the aircraft, that is not a big problem. Since you can make an airplane, why are you afraid of making a pair of airplane "feet"? The key is how long it takes to hoist the aircraft from the warship, that is, whether they have enough time to hoist them when they encounter an emergency. The aircraft on the warship are fixed to it with steel cables. The following is a question about "aircraft carriers". The earliest aircraft carriers appeared in the United States, Britain and Japan. At that time, aircraft carriers were separated by tall bridges. The front was used for takeoff of aircraft and the back was used for landing of aircraft. But according to Li Zhenhua's In the design plan, we now need to make them full-length. Text Chapter 432 Aircraft Carrier Text Chapter 432 Aircraft Carrier Chapter 432 Aircraft Carrier Chapter 432 Aircraft Carrier The working (combat) area of ??an aircraft carrier is mainly divided into three aspects: one is the take-off area of ??the aircraft, the other is the landing area of ??the aircraft, and the third is the parking area of ??the aircraft. The current aircraft carrier is on board It is still relatively small and can park hundreds of aircraft in the cabin below, but there must be several elevators that can lift the aircraft from the hangar to the deck to enter the cabin and take out the aircraft for combat or duty. The new design takes these issues into consideration. The total length is 210 meters. The speed is 27 knots. It uses coal and heavy oil as fuel. This is also different from other countries. The continuous voyage can reach 4,200 nautical miles. This is the same as a ship. Large battleships are similar because they do not have as much heavy artillery protection and the armor is much thinner than battleships, so they are much lighter. Aircraft are placed on the middle and lower floors and are lifted and landed by four elevators. More than eighty aircraft can be stored below. The takeoff of the aircraft is not a problem. The key is the landing. According to the data provided by the flying force, it only takes a few tens of meters to take off, but the runway for landing is longer. However, Li Zhenhua suggested that the aircraft carrier should drive against the wind when taking off and receiving aircraft. When taking off When the plane takes off and lands forward, the plane aligns with the runway behind it, which can reduce the landing runway. In addition, you can add a parachute behind the plane. When the plane lands, the parachute opens to reduce the speed of the plane. To force the aircraft to gradually reduce its speed until it finally stops, you can also add a tailhook to the back of the aircraft and hang it on the arresting cable on the aircraft carrier to stop the aircraft. The main problem is that the navigation control part in the middle has been placed on one side, which is something that the current naval powers have not considered. This is also something that some major naval powers look down upon. When they see photos of China's aircraft carriers in the future, they think that the Chinese have made a big toy that has no practical value at all. The brain of China's top leader has entered. Why can't it work if it's waterlogged? Why do we have to build such a thing that is off center of gravity? If there is a wind lng, won't it turn over immediately? Their reaction to this was so strong that the Chinese Navy was very happy. If we don¡¯t solve the problem of center of gravity, can we still be an aircraft carrier? Then just call it "causing the boat". As a result, the design of the aircraft carrier was finalized and construction began at Lushun Shipyard. The three cruisers were built by Fangcheng, Shanghai and Fujian according to the original plan. Below is the new frigate. Their design has added a new listening room dedicated to monitoring enemy warships. Now it can only be passive "sonar". After gaining experience and conditions, we can develop active "sonar". "system. At the same time, depth bombs must be installed on the frigate warships to attack enemy submarines. After gaining experience, we will also build a "sonar" system on the submarine. This is an active weapon that facilitates attacks on the enemy. It is possible to hear the sound of enemy warships underwater. The sounds of warships and cargo ships are different, but for It has no effect on a stopped warship, but the submarine still has its original periscope that can be used. Wei Han and the others spent two days finalizing all the requirements for warships with Li Zhenhua and sending special personnel to various shipyards. In order to send the drawings of the aircraft carrier to Lushun, Wei Han decided to go to Lushun in person because of the aircraft carrier. Only he knows best about the situation. The other drawings will be sent by others. After they are sent there, the warships will be built locally with those shipyards. They will not come back until the warships are completed. But for Wei Han, Li Zhenhua asked him to be sent back immediately. After all, Mr. Wei is old and it is not a good thing to be outside for many years. But Wei Han said: "When I arrive in Lushun, I will build a home there. That's all." Don't worry, everyone will come with me and stay there for a while. "After the long journey on the train, Wei Han came to Lushun to greet many people from the navy, shipyards and other places. Among the officials standing at the front was Zhang Peilun, who was recommended by himself. After all, he had served as the Minister of Shipping in Fujian. He had already made some preparations and was waiting for Wei Han's arrival. As soon as Wei Han arrived among the relevant people, a working meeting was held. At the meeting, Wei Han explained the tasks of the Lushun plant. They mentioned some precautions, especially confidentiality work. He especially emphasized that the aircraft carrier cannot be used until it has formed combat effectiveness. Let foreigners get some news. As the boss of the shipyard, Zhang Peilun is well aware of the importance of this issue, so he has always emphasized this issue. This time he is determined to do his job well. This time it is different from before. It turns out that his work must be constrained by the above at all times. Now Li Zhenhua doesn't care about your process at all. He only wants your results. Therefore, Zhang Peilun knows that this is I finally contributed to this country in my life. I can only do my best and not cause any problems, otherwise I willEven though Li Zhenhua had given me the kindness to meet him, he also felt sorry for his old Taishan Li Hongzhang. He brought his wife Li Juou as soon as he came. He wanted to make this place his home and build this huge warship that represents the highest wisdom of the Chinese people. This is Including the hard work of Li Zhenhua, Li Hongzhang and all shipbuilding workers. There must not be any mistakes. The money has already been received. The designers have re-checked the relevant data. The supply staff are checking all the material issues. The entire shipyard has been put into operation. With the efforts of all personnel, the first keel was soon laid. People were rejoicing and elated. It's just that the director of the shipyard has lost a lot of weight. When Wei Han saw that this was not going to work, he immediately said to Zhang Peilun: "Brother Zhang, if you do this again, I will report you to the superiors." I can recommend you to come, of course, and I can also recommend you to go back. " Zhang Peilun said: "My dear friend, you must not know what happened to me in Fujian. I was already ruined and I was mentally prepared to never come out again. But your brother recommended me to come here and finally gave me such an opportunity to serve the country. Can I not work hard? I am trying to shame myself. Please let me save this ship. The aircraft carrier is so exhausting that I¡¯m still smiling.¡± Text Chapter 433 Going to Lushun with the children Text Chapter 433 Going to Lushun with the children Chapter 433 Going to Lushun with the children Chapter 433 Going to Lushun with the children Wei Han was moved by him, but he still decided to limit his work or else he would report Zhang Peilun to Li Zhenhua He had no choice but to follow Wei Han's suggestion and promised him that he would have a good rest.

Zhang Peilun knew that this was the biggest concession Wei Han had ever made, so he had no choice but to agree and asked Wei Han to keep it secret from the two adults in Beijing. Zhang Peilun saw that the shipbuilding was on the right track, and he decided to rearrange the manpower and divide the work so that all parts of the ship could work in an orderly manner. The hull was partly done by real shipyard workers, so that the things on top could be done on the bottom in advance. When the time comes, just install it directly above it. Since this is an aircraft carrier and it is used to attack the enemy, it must also be prepared to prevent the enemy's aircraft carrier from attacking itself. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare more anti-aircraft weapons. He told Wei Han his thoughts and Wei Han said to him: "The commander-in-chief has already made preparations for this matter. He has asked the military industrial enterprises to prepare anti-aircraft artillery. Now we have to see where it is appropriate to install it." That¡¯s it.¡± Wei Han was also very happy to see that Zhang Peilun was much more mature than he was in Mawei. The young commander-in-chief dared to use talents to give him a second chance to serve the country. That's it. This aircraft carrier was originally planned to take two and a half to three years to complete. Looking at the current situation, it won't take that long. It can definitely be completed in advance. Then let it appear in front of the world as quickly as possible. To be honest, I didn't dare to think about this thing. But the young national leader in the DPRK just dared to think about it. He dared to come up with such a thing. It will definitely give a huge shock to the shipbuilding industry of various countries in the world. Here Wei Han was also moved and excited that he could go crazy with the Commander-in-Chief. The other three 7,000-ton warships are also under construction in full swing. They are divided into three places: one is the Fangcheng Shipyard, the other is the Shanghai Shipyard, and the third is the Mawei Shipyard in Fujian. The three factories can communicate with each other. Communication technology will shake up the entire world as soon as these three warships are born. China is no longer as weak as before. It will appear in the world as a powerful maritime power with a new look. So the two of them stared closely at the shipbuilding construction site. Li Juou was happy and worried when he saw these two people working like crazy without orders. In the letter to his father, Li Juou After revealing the situation to her father, she knew that her father would definitely tell Li Zhenhua about the situation. Only that young man could cure these two people. As expected, Li Hongzhang revealed the news to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua became anxious as soon as he heard it. If both of them were exhausted, would the aircraft carrier still be built? He also knew that the two of them would be the emperor and no one could control them there, so he I discussed it with Li Hongzhang and decided to go to Lushun in person. First, to see the progress of the work, and secondly, to take care of these two desperate Sanlangs. If they didn't go, no one would really be able to control them. Fortunately, it's cold now at home. Just leave the work to a few old gentlemen from the Government Affairs Council. So Li Zhenhua took his wife and children with him to Lushun. He hadn't gone outside with his wife and children for such a long time. This time it was an opportunity to let them play outside at public expense. The two little guys Although they ran from the south to the north several times, after all, they were too lonely and had no chance to play with children of the same age. Li Zhenhua felt that it was not good for children in such an environment and always wanted them to have an environment where they could play by themselves. That's good. On the train, he saw that the children were alienated from him. Li Zhenhua felt very sorry for them, so he called the two little ones to his side and pointed to the things that flashed by outside the window and told them about them. Wang Xin The older one is a boy, Li Zhenhua named him Weiguo Yaqi, the younger one is a girl Li Zhenhua and she named Jianguo Sabir, the younger one Li Zhenhua called him Heping. When Wei Guo and Jianguo saw their father calling them, they ran over together and snuggled up to their father. This was also a kind of enjoyment. Children from other families might pester their parents every day, but this was not the case in their daily lives. of opportunity. The special train kept running forward. Li Zhenhua talked to the children about some places he passed. The two children were very happy that their father had given time to themselves so generously. They also kept asking their father this question and that question. It was getting late and the children were getting sleepy. Li Zhenhua first hugged them to see them fall asleep, and then gently put them on his berth. This carriage is very spacious and well designed. It occupies the innermost part of the two bedrooms.Outside the bathroom are two offices, one large and one small, where you can hold meetings in the car and find people to talk to. At the other end are several residences for the guards. There are two dining cars. One is for Li Zhenhua¡¯s family and a few personal guards, and the other is for other personnel. Each meal is not complicated and mostly simple. In the words of Yaqi and Wang Xin, the future emperor will eat much worse than the two of them. Li Zhenhua thought this was good. He would never spend nearly ten thousand taels of silver on a meal like in the Qing palace. Especially your own children, you cannot let them develop such bad habits since childhood. They must learn to eat simply and almost die. If you can have a full meal with one dollar, you must not use two dollars. In this way, everyone The food was very good. After passing Shanhaiguan, the ground was completely white, which made the children who rarely saw snow scenes even more happy. Li Zhenhua promised to build a big snowman for them when they arrived. However, Li Zhenhua could only break his promise. When he arrived at Fengtian, Tang Jieshu was already waiting on the platform. For several months, Tang Jieshu only had the feeling that a soldier would die for his bosom friend. Li Zhenhua adopted the method of letting himself go freely in several mines that he was in charge of. He wanted people, money, and workers, but he actually captured Russian prisoners of war. The prisoners were also very capable, which made him admire Li Zhenhua very much in his heart. He has often worked for people such as Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong. However, in terms of business management, the original officials of the Qing Dynasty were much inferior. But this Li Zhenhua is very familiar with these things. When you report some situations to him, he always has to make the decision himself. When you have some questions that you don't understand, he will explain them clearly to you. Text Chapter 434 Heavy Industry Base in Northeast China Text Chapter 434 Heavy Industrial Base in the Northeast Chapter 434 Heavy Industrial Base in the Northeast Chapter 434 Heavy Industrial Base in the Northeast This made Tang Jieshu not understand how he could have so many things in his mind. Fighting is all about adapting to circumstances. And in this world No one can beat him in business. In business, he understands the theory of commodity circulation better than anyone else. In industry, he has never done it before, but why does he know so much? He knows more than others about financial expenditures, cost accounting and profit accounting methods. Tang Jieshu saw that Li Zhenhua had nothing to report or ask for instructions this time. He just wanted to invite Li Zhenhua to visit several of his mines and ask him to give guidance. But Li Zhenhua's answer was very interesting: "Guidance is not about you. Experts, it¡¯s okay if you think it¡¯s good, but you can take a look.¡± The next day, Tang Jieshu and several cars were waiting at the hotel with anti-skid chains on the front wheels. They were going to take Li Zhenhua down to take a look. As soon as Li Zhenhua saw the picker coming, he said to the two children: "It's too cold outside, so don't go." When Jianguo saw that her father wouldn't let her go, she immediately agreed not to go, but Weiguo came out. He showed a reluctant expression and was willing to be with his father. So Li Zhenhua pulled the guard Xiao Huzi over and said to him: "Don't go there today. Just play with your brothers and sisters at home. You and they can pile up two "A big snowman." The children didn't go. Li Zhenhua got into the car and it was very warm. It turned out that they used the heat from the water tank in the car and blew it into the car so that it would not be cold even if there was no activity. . This is another patent, and now all cars sold at home and abroad have been equipped with air heaters. They arrived in Fushun first. There are some coal mines here, but it is very scientific to really make good use of various equipment to transport the coal. But under the unified management of Tang Jieshu, even though the weather here is very cold, the work is tense and orderly. The coal was transported out and sent to places in Fengtian where coal was needed. Those who drive some large machinery and some are Russians. Li Zhenhua asked those people how they are living here. Tang Jieshu said: "They are all working well now. Even in their own country, they do not have such a good life. They Life in China is much worse. The salary of these people here ranges from 40 yuan to 80 yuan per month." "Is it paid in the same month?" "Yes, there is no deduction." Give it to us at work. We must take good care of them in life and don¡¯t discriminate against them.¡± ¡°Some of them are now squad leaders and there are some Chinese people who no longer want to work under them. Some people are already married. As we said before, you can choose your suitable partner. It can be Chinese or Russian. " "Can they communicate at home? " " In some places, it is possible. Some places have poor postal conditions, and some places are now ours. In other words, they are already Chinese. " "Are there many of their family members willing to come?" Many people have already brought their family members here. They are not willing to take a break because we have incentives for working more, although they are not much, but they can also get an extra twenty yuan a month. " "That's very good of you. The practice here is very good and should be extended to the entire Northeast and even the whole country. "This method has not worked in our country before, even my former boss Li Hongzhang, Li Zhongtang and Marshal Zhang." "You should work harder." If you do too much, you can't do anything well, if you do too much, if you do too little, we must find ways to mobilize the workers' enthusiasm for production. After all, more production is beneficial to our country. " "This is what we are doing now. We will reward every production suggestion that is proved to be a good one in production. "How is the effect?" "Of course it's great. Now we can receive reasonable suggestions from workers every month." "That's great." We need to summarize it well and promote it to more places." Li Zhenhua said to a staff member beside him: "I will ask someone to help me summarize it and publicize it in the newspaper." "Yes," the staff member immediately replied. He immediately wrote down Li Zhenhua's instructions on paper. Then they went to Anshan and Benxi together. It was already the night of the second day when they came back. As soon as Li Zhenhua entered the hotel, he saw two big snowmen in the yard. Li Zhenhua couldn't help laughing. As soon as he entered, the two children jumped at him. Come up and let dad hug you. Li Zhenhua picked up the two children one by one.As soon as Yaqi saw them, she said immediately: "Come down, Dad, I'm tired. Let Dad take a rest." "I'm not tired. I'm not tired anymore when I see them." Seeing that Dad was about to talk to Tang Jieshu, the children went with Yaqi. After taking a break, Li Zhenhua and Tang Jieshu drank tea and studied things at work together. The entire heavy industry foundation in Liaoning has been moved. In terms of steel, they have produced the majority of the rails. The steel-baring equipment imported from Germany has been installed and has been tested. The production of special steel plates for warships has begun to be shipped to Tianjin and Lushun, and will continue to be shipped to Shanghai, Fujian and Fangcheng. Likewise, the money has also begun to withdraw. Railway construction is also moving north. By 1901, it will be built as far as Harbin. Then it will be able to connect the three big cities in the northeast. Then it will start to stretch from Harbin to the east and west, all the way to Sakhalin Island, and all the way to the west. You can go to the Sino-Russian border area, but if there are police on the border, even the southern troops can reach the border quickly. The next day, Tang Jieshu held a banquet, which was both a welcome and a farewell to Li Zhenhua. Tang Jieshu summoned some of his corporate managers and asked Li Zhenhua to say a few words to everyone. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to tell everyone to work hard. Strive to make more contributions to the country. Although he didn't say much, everyone was greatly encouraged. The next day, the special train went south and went directly to Lushun. Through the car window, Li Zhenhua looked at the sunny places on the roadside. He rarely saw people basking in the sun under the walls. Li Zhenhua thought to himself that China was the original farmers in the north in the 1960s. It's also like this. When winter comes, people have nothing to do, so they go to the wall to bask in the sun, because they have nothing to do in winter. But later on, this phenomenon no longer exists. People all have jobs. Text Chapter 435 Air Show Text Chapter 435 Air Show Chapter 435 Air Show Chapter 435 Air Show The special train arrived in Lushun. Since Li Zhenhua had already informed people not to go to the station to greet them, there was no one there at the station. It was only driven by local garrison troops and Mn personnel from the Intelligence Department. Several cars came to pick them up. Since it was early, they went to the dock of the shipyard. A behemoth was already there. Now it can only have an outline, which is far less majestic than the aircraft carrier in later generations, but it is already very big. The security work was very good and strangers could not come near. Because this was Li Zhenhua¡¯s decision, confidentiality must be kept. They saw the factory director and chief engineer working on site despite the strong sea breeze. Seeing Li Zhenhua coming, the two men in thick clothes immediately came up to them. Li Zhenhua saw their already somewhat thin faces and said to them distressedly: "It's my crime to let you two work in such a world of ice and snow." Please go inside and warm yourself up. If you have something to say, why don¡¯t we go inside?¡± ¡°We would like to talk inside the house, but the general must also want to look around.¡± ¡°Since you are like this. Having said that, I will look around first. But let a younger person lead us. You can go to the house to rest first." When the two of them saw what Li Zhenhua said, they had to agree with the young man. The engineering and technical personnel came over and led them forward. As they walked, they introduced to Li Zhenhua that this is the largest warship in our country that we have not produced before. However, we have produced cargo ships larger than it and smaller ones before. At the same time, the warships are produced by experts from shipbuilding companies across the country, so there is no problem. Now even if foreigners are allowed to build this aircraft carrier, they have never produced it. They also have to start everything from scratch, so why not produce it ourselves? We can also add some practical experience to ourselves. The experience gained will be quite rich for future production. Rather than giving this experience to others, it is better to keep it for ourselves. . After going around in a circle, they returned to their offices. They exchanged opinions together. Wei Han told Li Zhenhua some small changes. Li Zhenhua didn't mean anything else. They were experts in design and production, so it was up to them to make the final decision. Well, I am a layman after all, so there is no need to say more. Wei Han said: "The final displacement of our aircraft carrier may reach more than 15,400 tons. The speed can guarantee more than 27 knots and the endurance can reach 7,000 nautical miles. Li Zhenhua is still satisfied with this figure. After building my first ship, I can accumulate experience and further improve its combat capabilities through practice. "People still don't have an intuitive understanding of its combat effectiveness. They only look at it from the surface, but they still have a personal admiration for Li Zhenhua. The leading factor is that Li Zhenhua also understands that people don't have a deep understanding of aircraft carriers now, so let people realize its defensive power in wars in the future. The construction work here is like this. Li Zhenhua also wanted to take a look at the situation of the naval aviation. The next day, he went to the aviation station again. He wanted to take a look at their preparations. In the future, there should be no situation where ships are waiting for ships or aircraft. You can see the airport from a distance. There is a tall tower there. At the top, there is a yellow dragon flag with a red background fluttering high in the wind. If you get closer, you can see the planes parked at the airport. The current planes. It is already semi-enclosed and most of it is protected. Only the pilot's entrance and exit area does not have a canopy cover. Several aircraft factories are conducting research in this area. But what are the materials of current aircraft? That is, the structure is supported by steel bars on the inside, and the outside is made of cloth and mng leather, which is then surface treated with paint. Aluminum production is now also increasing and will soon appear on aircraft. When we arrived at the airport, the brothers from the Air Force were already waiting in front of the mn. This was a flying regiment with only more than 30 aircraft. Dozens of pilots stood at the front. Gao Xiang ran forward, saluted Li Zhenhua and reported: "The Air Force No. 1 After the first flight group assembled, please ask the leader to instruct the leader Gao Xiang. "Li Zhenhua returned the greeting and walked up to shake hands with him. Li Zhenhua said to Gao Xiang: "Let everyone disperse. Let's talk about your training methods for a while and then I will watch your performance." Li Zhenhua came to their barracks. Since the investment in the Air Force is relatively large, the conditions of the Air Force are better than those of the Army. The troops are much stronger and the room is very warm. Their flight plans and training objectives are hung on the walls. There are also things about weather, ground support, fuel, etc. There are three squadrons under the current flying group. Each squadron has eight aircraft. One squadron has eight bi-wing aircraft, the other two squadrons have single-wing aircraft, and six are spares, but two of them are new model aircraft. Just arrived. The speed ratio of the two planes isThe recent old model is much faster and has a much higher load capacity. It is mainly used for flying on aircraft carriers. The current flight training plan is like this. They draw a box with a white line on the current airport. It is actually a straight line. The main purpose of the aircraft taking off and landing within this box is to control the aircraft within a certain distance. It's not a big problem when taking off, but when landing, the requirement is to be as close as possible. After listening to him explain the basic situation, Li Zhenhua asked to go to the scene to take a look. Gao Xiang immediately agreed. He came outside and said to a soldier: "Order all pilots to assemble." After a while, all the pilots had gathered, and the boys were all gathered. They stood there in high spirits. They were all wet, wearing leather jackets, leather hats, and a pair of goggles on their heads. It would be very cold if we flew up in the sky now. The deputy commander accompanied Li Zhenhua to the control tower. Li Zhenhua had clearly seen the two parallel boxes they had drawn. The deputy commander used a loudspeaker to give instructions for the plane to take off in two planes. The first ones were Gao Xiang and his wingman pilot. Their plane stopped on the takeoff line against the wind. The plane's engine roared and the propellers flew. Gao Xiang made a gesture to the wingman pilot and released the brakes. The plane slid forward faster and faster. At about 80 meters, Gao Xiang pulled the plane up and the wingman behind him also left. Once they reached the ground, they climbed directly to higher ground. The planes behind also took off in a formation of two. Soon the planes of the three squadrons were already in the air. They were hovering in the sky. Then Gao Xiang and his wingman flew down together, and then they aimed their noses against the wind. The high-flying No. 1 aircraft crossed the box and began to land. As it entered the box, the wheels of the aircraft also touched the ground. His aircraft stopped at a distance of a hundred meters, and his wingman also stopped like him. Text Chapter 436 New Frigate Text Chapter 436 New Frigate Chapter 436 New Frigate Chapter 436 New Frigate The aircraft behind them also landed safely in groups of two. Their distances have reached the required standards. Li Zhenhua knew that if the speed of the aircraft carrier was added, their distance could be even smaller. Gao Xiang came to the tower and watched the plane behind Li Zhenhua land. He said to Li Zhenhua: "All the pilots in our brigade have passed this kind of training. What I am worried about now is whether the waves on the sea will affect the lng once we board the aircraft carrier." The take-off and landing of the plane. "That situation will definitely happen. There should be no problem with rigorous training like yours. Thank you soldiers for me." "Commander-in-Chief, this is what any branch of our military should do. Soldier training is very hard for us too, and our air force¡¯s pay is much higher than that of other services, so we can¡¯t help but train well. ¡°How are your other student pilots?¡± ¡° There are sixty students in the following group, and they are all qualified and ready to fly solo, but under circumstances like today, they are still a little behind." "It's good to continue to strengthen training. We must form two pilot divisions as soon as possible to join the navy. On the other hand, there are also two flight regiments to enable them to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Your burden is very heavy. The construction of the air force depends on you. The heavy responsibility of defending the country lies on your shoulders." "We guarantee that we will not do it. It's embarrassing for the Commander-in-Chief." "Have you conducted a test flight of that new type of aircraft?" "I have already conducted a test flight, and the results are obvious. The speed and load capacity have also been increased." "It can be done now. "Fly?" "Okay. Deputy commander, please inform them that I want to fly our new aircraft again." The deputy commander immediately gave the order on the loudspeaker and the two new aircraft were pushed to the runway. In the box, Gao Xiang and his wingman pilots have already arrived. The planes are roaring. These two planes are the kind of planes named by the ancient princes. They are larger than the original planes. They are now two-seater, with one person in front and one person in the back. This kind of aircraft will eventually be converted into a bomber, so they are larger. Relatively speaking, their take-off distance and landing distance are also longer. But their load capacity has reached one thousand kilograms, and a torpedo can be mounted below. The plane flew smoothly, but its take-off distance was already more than 100 meters. They circled in the air for a few times and then began to descend. Their landing distance was 150 meters. Li Zhenhua now knows that it depends on their performance on the aircraft carrier. After returning from the airport, Li Zhenhua returned to the hotel at the shipyard. This time he wanted to talk to the two of them about health care. The two of them knew what was going on and didn't say anything more. Li Zhenhua saw that both of them were understanding people, so he didn't say much. Tell them that they must pay attention to their health. Even ships and people can collapse. That won't work. Our country has just begun to build our country. We still have a long way to go in the future. There will be a lot of work for you to do in the future. But don't let me collapse your body. If that happens, I might as well not let you come. The two just nodded their heads to express their agreement with Li Zhenhua's opinion. In the evening, Li Zhenhua had a dinner with the two of them at Zhang Peilun's home. Li Julian specially made Li Zhenhua his favorite mutton hot pot. Let's have a hot pot in this cold winter. That's great. It doesn't matter if you have wine or not, as long as you can eat well. Several women and children were eating together. Their place was much more lively than the men. As a result, the two children were all covered in mutton soup. Yaqi was a little embarrassed, but Li Julian was very excited. Just keep saying it doesn't matter and everyone will be happy. Li Zhenhua and his party stopped in Tianjin again. He wanted to see the frigates produced in Tianjin. Compared to aircraft carriers and frigates, that's child's play. Frigates are medium-sized or light warships that use small and medium-caliber naval guns as their main weapons and various underwater weapons (torpedoes, mines, and depth bombs) as their main weapons. They can perform escort, anti-submarine, air defense, reconnaissance, and surveillance. It conducts combat missions such as patrolling, laying mines, supporting landings, and supporting the Army's maritime operations. The weapon system mainly consists of 150mm naval guns, 3mm at the front, two at the rear, and 137mm high and flat dual-purpose guns. They are arranged on both sides of the warship. There are also some light weapons that can be used for both flat sh and anti-aircraft and high sh. Why is it done like this? That's Li Zhenhua's idea of ??Mao and Shield. Now that you have Mao, you have to consider the issue of shields. If you have submarines, you have to consider anti-submarine warfare. If you plan to use aircraft to attack others, others will soon have them, so there must be corresponding responses. Only by using various means to deal with it. At first glance, this frigate is too small. In this era of giant ships and cannons, no one would look at it.However, the frigate produced in Tianjin is not good at defending itself, but its most outstanding thing is its armor-piercing shells. It turns out that the artillery shells in the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1896 were not effective. The original artillery shells only need to be dipped once It will explode on the side of the warship. But now the Navy is trial-producing TNT to explode. TNT is more stable than any previous explosives. The armor-piercing bombs made with it can enter the enemy's warship according to its own requirements. explosive. Now that others don't have it, we already have it. It is a unique trick and a weapon to defeat the enemy. According to Li Zhenhua's request, the "sonar" cabin has been set aside below the waterline on the ship. Li Zhenhua doesn't know much about sonar, but in the specific work, the sailors can further use, process and further develop it themselves. Improved, improved. The speed of the frigate is relatively fast, reaching 35 knots, and it can escort civilian cargo ships and escort aircraft carriers. This is the embodiment of two ideas. When Li Zhenhua arrived, the frigate already had a huge berth. The frigate was 90 meters long, 10 meters wide, and had a displacement of 2,980 tons. Its design speed was 33 knots and its endurance was 4,000 kilometers. Section eight. The total combat force was one hundred and twenty, including thirty-seven officers. The work here is progressing very quickly. The workers are divided into two shifts and take turns to work. The best welder skills here are the three brothers. A father brought his two sons, Li Zhenhua, when the handover was taking place. The father, Liu Changqing, was explaining something to his son. When they saw Li Zhenhua, they were stunned for a moment and then they all knelt down to kowtow to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua immediately stepped forward to help them up and asked them: Text Chapter 437 Eating Tianjin Steamed Buns Again Text Chapter 437: Eat Tianjin Steamed Buns Again Chapter 437: Eat Tianjin Steamed Buns Again Chapter 437: Eat Tianjin Steamed Buns Again The work here is progressing very quickly. The workers are divided into two shifts and take turns to work. The best welder skills here are the three brothers. A father brought his two sons, Li Zhenhua, when the handover was taking place. The father, Liu Changqing, was explaining something to his sons. When they saw Li Zhenhua, they were stunned for a moment and then knelt down to kowtow to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua immediately stepped forward to help them. He stood up and asked them: "No one is kneeling now. Why do you still kneel down when you see me?" "We don't have to kneel down when we meet the factory director, but we all have to when we meet General Li." ¡± Liu Changqing, who is in his fifties, said. "That's no good. You can't kneel down when you see anyone." "No, my son was on the rear ship of the Beiyang Navy back then. If it weren't for General Li's great help, the Beiyang Navy would definitely not be able to win the battle. My son would have been with people long ago. He said that it was General Li who gave the cannons and replaced the shells, and your warships appeared behind the enemy at the critical moment, so that the Beiyang Navy did not fail. " The two sons also said together: "Now our brother can do it too. He is in our North Sea Fleet and he is now a captain. " Several shipyard directors came over and were shocked when they saw Li Zhenhua. Why did the commander-in-chief come? Is there something wrong? They immediately asked Li Zhenhua to go to the office, but Li Zhenhua said to Liu Changqing: "Uncle, please take me to see it?" Right." After the two sons left, Li Zhenhua called a technician to follow him around and looked around. The technician said to Li Zhenhua: "Commander-in-Chief, our Master Liu is not an ordinary person. His technology is the best in our factory. Even those foreign technicians couldn't compare with his work. At that time, a British technician wanted to compete with him, but he was defeated just by looking at the welding pool. " "He just wanted to be fast. "If I want to win in terms of speed, I didn't expect that his work is full of blisters. He can only weld some ordinary work on the decks of warships. If my apprentices are better than him," Liu Changqing said. "Good Uncle Liu, you need to train more apprentices like this. We will have such jobs after they come out." "That's great. We have enough strength. As long as there is work to do, we will be fine." "How long do you work a day? Li Zhenhua asked. "Ten hours." Liu Changqing replied: "I'm not tired at all." The technician next to him immediately said: "Master Liu can't do it. He works the morning shift every day and should get off work at two o'clock in the afternoon. But he has to work until the evening every day." When we returned home, we tried to persuade him many times, but once his son persuaded him to let him beat him away. "Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Uncle Liu, this is not okay, you have to rest on time. If they are exhausted and another foreigner comes to compete, won't there be no one to compete with them?" People all laughed when they heard that the commander-in-chief had different methods of persuading people. At this time, they saw a woman carrying a knife. As soon as the basket came, Li Zhenhua shouted from a distance: "Dad, what are you doing there?" His pure Tianjin dialect made Li Zhenhua feel a sense of intimacy. Everyone stopped and the girl came to Liu Changqing's side and said to him: "I knew you weren't going home, so why don't I bring you steamed buns?" As he said this, he moved the basket forward. Liu Changqing put the basket on a table aside and took out the contents of the basket. He first took out a few steamed buns and said to Li Zhenhua: "General Li, please try the old woman's craftsmanship. The authentic Tianjin steamed buns are better than Goubuli's." Not bad." Several guards wanted to step forward to stop him, but they stopped when they saw Li Zhenhua's face. At this time, it would be bad if anyone didn't open his eyes and make the commander-in-chief unhappy. Li Zhenhua ate it with relish, and it really tasted like the Tianjin steamed buns he ate when he was a child. When Liu Changqing saw that Li Zhenhua had eaten, he hurriedly poured a glass of water for Li Zhenhua from the kettle and handed it to him. Li Zhenhua kept eating and drinking, which made Aunt Liu blush. Li Zhenhua then asked: "How often can uncle eat such delicious steamed buns?" He was going to conduct a survey on people's lives. "To tell you the truth, our family's life is better than that of our previous employer. I earn 160 yuan a month and 60 yuan for overtime, which makes a total of 220 yuan. I am the highest paid in the factory. The factory directors don¡¯t have more than me. Two sons are worth 120 yuan. Including overtime pay of 50 yuan, the total is 170 yuan. That¡¯s 560 yuan a month for my family. I can¡¯t finish my daily work. I'm tired and have to eat meat every day and sometimes eat fish. Now I have saved more than 4,000.I'm going to use it to get my son a wife. To say that I eat buns like this very often, but the old woman always finds ways to improve the food for us grandpas. " The two of them sat there and finished eating and drinking. Aunt Liu took the empty basket and was about to leave. Li Zhenhua said to Liu Changqing: "You should go back too. Don't be too tired. If you have a chance to go to Beijing in the future, come find me. "He asked a staff officer for an envelope, wrote his name on it and said to him: "Take this envelope and go to Beijing to find me. Liu Changqing took the envelope and hid it in his underwear pocket with great treasure. He left with his wife. Seeing his happy expression, his wife asked: "Who is he that can make you so happy?" " "You don't know, maybe I'll scare you if I tell you, that's the Commander-in-Chief I often tell you. " The old woman was shocked when she heard the truth. It turned out that the governor came out. They had seen countless people who cleared the way. There were no other guards. The big sedan required ten people to carry it. The people wanted to see mn but they didn't even return it. Let's eat and dream with you. She hurriedly asked the old man for the envelope. When Liu Changqing saw it, he asked her what you wanted to do. The old woman said, "I want to donate it. This is a blessing for our family." " "Yes, yes, confess, let him protect our little three from hurting here and there. " "Don't talk about unlucky people who are too old to talk and don't know how to mn. "The old couple were sitting at home chatting. Someone outside asked me to open the door. I saw that it was a young soldier. He was holding two bottles of Maotai liquor in his hands. I heard him say: "Uncle and aunt, the commander-in-chief said that you would treat him to a meal today. Baozi will also give you two bottles of wine. Please accept it. "The young man turned around and walked away. The sound of cars outside was getting farther and farther away. Some neighbors also came out to watch the fun. When they heard what happened, everyone was happy together for a few days. Text Chapter 438 Tianjin¡¯s Famous Snacks Chapter 438 Famous Snacks in Tianjin Chapter 438 Famous Snacks in Tianjin Tianjin¡¯s snacks are still very famous even now. This has a lot to do with the development of Tianjin. The Tianjin Guard was set up in the Ming Dynasty (there are still people who go to Tianjin now) Tianjin County was only established in the Qing Dynasty (called Xiawei) and gradually prospered in modern times. The Zhili Governor's Office was located in Tianjin Wukou Commercial Yamen, Tianjin Customs, Changlu Salt Road, Naval Academy, Machinery Manufacturing Bureau and many other yamen. Foreigners who established here also took a fancy to this place and developed it. Regarding food, there are a lot of palace snacks that are also very famous. The other reason is not only me, but that is that the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Puyi, was driven to Tianjin by Feng Yuxiang. After that, his imperial chefs also arrived in Tianjin, but later he The Japanese took him to Changchun alone, but he was the only one who went there. None of his palace maids and eunuchs went. Without their masters, they lost their original source of livelihood, and they began to fend for themselves. . Some eunuchs used their rich knowledge of jewelry to make a living by reselling jewelry. Of course, the palace maids got married and found suitable eunuchs to live with. The royal chefs who had good cooking skills focused on They resumed their old business and their superb cooking skills quickly gained popularity among the people of Tianjin. Soon the eunuchs in the imperial dining room became a hot commodity, and various restaurants began to invite them to enter, and some of them became bosses. Of course, some of them returned to other places, but after all, there were more and more palace snacks in Tianjin. The common people who arrived at the civil envoy can also eat palace snacks. (This is what a neighbor of mine told me before I went to the countryside. One of his masters was a eunuch. His craftsmanship was very good, but he only heard about it but never saw his hands on it.) At that time, as an old man in Tianjin The places where urban development is not rapid are the British and French concessions (in the original time and space, there were nine foreign concessions in Tianjin. They entered Tianjin in sequence from the British and American concessions in 1998), France in 1995), Germany in 1995), Japan in 1998, and Russia. In 1900 Italy, Austria-Hungary and Belgium were in 1902. ) But because of Li Zhenhua¡¯s appearance, Germany, Japan, and those concessions in the future had no chance to appear. Tianjin's local development relies on some facilities in Beiyang, such as the Machinery Bureau, Artillery Bureau, Shipping Bureau and other enterprises and yamen, as well as some garrisons, such as Tianjin's Nanshi, Guayi Street, and Beidaguan. Very prosperous place. The family led by Li Zhenhua appeared in the downtown area of ??Tianjin. He did not let the male and female guards follow him, Yaqi, and Jin Xifeng. They could not suffer from their skills. He asked the guards to go around and look around casually. But as guards, they did not dare to be careless. On the surface, they They agreed, but there were still some people following them, but they all changed into plain clothes and came out. With the benefits of these enterprises, the east city of Tianjin, which was a deserted area more than 20 years ago, is now lined with streets, alleys, alleys and houses, with gurgling water in the rivers and willows on the banks. The side of the street along the river close to the residences is lined with shops selling snacks, clothing, department stores, hair salons, etc. Occasionally, there are a few shabby mat tents mixed in. Under the willow trees on the side close to the Haihe River, those who perform fortune-telling, fortune-telling, ditty singing, cross talk, bamboo board, and drum singing are all showing their magic skills all around There were crowds of Tianjin citizens who were wearing different clothes and wearing hairstyles of different lengths on the back of their heads, looking at it with great interest. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In the middle of the loud and low voice, the snack seller with a Tianjin accent yells about the cooked old tofu, hot old tofu, clear marinated sauce, who wants to listen? " "The flowers on Mahua Street are crispy and delicious, and you have never been to Tianjin if you don't eat them." "Shitushimenkan's plain thin stuffing is delicious and not expensive." "Shanggangzi Noodle Tea does not stick to the bowl and does not burn your mouth take a sip and it will be fragrant to the heart." " If the water makes the belly burst, the water bursts the belly and the belly bursts. Just give me some wine and give it to a god." "The Yuanxiao Yuanxiao glutinous rice noodles are made with brown sugar, white sugar, green rose, walnut kernels and sesame seeds. They are not delicious and don't cost any money." " The ear-eye fried cake is freshly baked. " It feels like a different life? Isn't it just that there is a gap in time and space between now and the past? " Today is the day? So many people on the street? "Jin Xifeng asked Yaqi in a low voice. Yaqi was also a little confused. She pointed her finger at Li Zhenhua and said to her, you don't know how to ask someone who understands." When a day like this comes, people will come to take a look. "The family was on the street buying snacks for the children from time to time. At noon, the family entered a bun shop and the waiter saw no one there. It seemed that ordinary people hurriedly ran to receive them and hurriedly made seats for their family. Li Zhenhua seems to be doing it out of professionalismBeing used to it, he asked for a place near the window and sat down. The children also liked this place. After ordering several baskets of steamed buns, the family ate them slowly. After Li Zhenhua was almost finished eating, he went to take care of the children. It seems that the children also eat very quickly, but because the buns are oily, they are very lively. The two children are also playing and making trouble. People are looking at them, but most people are not happy with the children's laughter. A kind smile. Suddenly a discordant voice appeared. Hey, watch your little bastards and don¡¯t disturb our uncle¡¯s interest. " Li Zhenhua looked up and saw that it was a few gangsters from Tianjin. A big man was sitting in the middle. Several people were sitting around him. A big man with a pair of big gold teeth was staring at Li Zhenhua's family with a provocative look. "Guys, please be more civilized." There will be someone next to you. They have two children, and they should be louder and disturb you. "Li Zhenhua could tell from the dialect that the person was probably from Kunming, Yunnan. people. At this time, the eyes of those big men turned to that man. The man was not tall but his eyes were very energetic. "Do you want to block him?" Don't skip the words. Chapter 438 Tianjin¡¯s famous snacks Chapter 438 Tianjin¡¯s famous snacks Text Chapter 440 Tianjin University Chapter 440 Tianjin University Chapter 440 Tianjin University "I was originally a Jinshi scholar from the Imperial Academy the year before last, and was transferred to Beiyang Xiangxiang to run the academic affairs of the province. By chance, I met your family and was rescued. I am really grateful." Li Zhenhua I told those gangsters who could still move to get out of here quickly. "Those gangsters are already convinced by this time. They encountered a hard problem today, and they are doing a favor by not pursuing it. The scholar is also a member of the government, and he is a provincial-level official, but he Being so respectful to that person means that this person's official rank is higher. Wouldn't it scare them so much that they didn't dare to think about it anymore and ran out in a hurry, but Li Zhenhua's guards couldn't let them run away like this. I followed them outside and told them, "Go to the provincial government and let the people there discipline you." The man in the water stopped and said yes, yes, yes. We must go to Ergouzi and go quickly to check the accounts with the gentlemen. "A gangster ran away again and threw two silver dollars to the shopkeeper and then limped away. Li Zhenhua said to the boss, I'm sorry shopkeeper. I'll let him compensate you for causing trouble to you and affecting your business. You do it." The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "I should thank you all for teaching those gangsters who no one dares to mess with a lesson. They will never dare to mess around again." " Li Zhenhua asked Jin Xifeng to take out five silver coins and give them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that he didn't want them. Jin Xifeng threw the silver coins on the table and went out with everyone. Li Zhenhua lived nearby and asked Ding Weilu to go with him. Go to his place and learn about the education situation in Tianjin. Since you are here, you need to learn more about the situation. Li Zhenhua is different from the officials of later generations. Those people always have to notify them in advance when they go down there. If people are prepared, they will not be able to see the real situation. Ding Weilu introduced to Li Zhenhua the situation of China¡¯s first modern university, Beiyang University, which was founded in Tianjin after the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War. Customs Dao Sheng Xuanhuai reported to Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty through Wang Wenshao, the governor of Zhili, to establish a new school. Emperor Guangxu approved the establishment of Tianjin Beiyang Western School on August 14, 1995, and Sheng Xuan Huairen was the first president. The school is located at the former site of Dayingmen Bowen Academy on the banks of the North Canal in Tianjin. From then on, the first university in modern China was born. In the 22nd year of Guangxu's reign (1996), the Peiyang Western Academy was officially renamed the Peiyang University Hall. It was renamed directly under the Ministry of Education of Tianjin University. Tianjin Beiyang Western School was a veritable university from the beginning and emerged as a high-level new university. From the beginning, it followed the American model in terms of curriculum setting, teaching, textbooks, and teaching methods. Introducing the Western education model. The school has established a first-class school (undergraduate) and a second-class school (preparatory school) with four years and eight years to cultivate professional talents. At the same time, sending first-class school graduates to study abroad is an important part of the school's founding plan. When it was founded, the first-class school had four majors (i.e. departments): Engineering, Mining, and Legal Studies. This year, a railway major was added to bring together Zhan Tianyou¡¯s railway schools in various places. The urgent needs of Chinese society at that time reflected the founding purpose of Peiyang University to promote education and save the country. It was divided into three departments: law, civil engineering, and mining and metallurgy. Later, in order to meet the needs of diplomacy, it added English classes, French classes, Russian classes, and normal courses, which are now Tianjin University. It has become a new comprehensive university covering liberal arts, law, engineering, and teacher education. Nowadays, Tianjin¡¯s enthusiasm for running schools is relatively high. Many people are willing to invest in running schools. However, this time, Minister Liang Qichao has publicly stated that Tianjin University will be run by the public. In order for the country to allocate funds for the construction of the school and recruit teachers from all over the country and the world, we must make Tianjin University a world-class university. Li Zhenhua decided to go to Tianjin University to see how much he had done in this regard. I feel sorry for my future generations if I don¡¯t take a look at it. I just left and drove straight to the Liangjiayuan Academy of Sciences outside Dayingmen on the North Canal. The first supervisor of Tianjin University was Sheng Xuanhuai and now the second is Li Minchen. Since its establishment, Wang Xiuzhi has been appointed as the General Office (Prime Minister of School Affairs). In current terms, the American Ding Jiali, who is in charge of all affairs of the school, has been appointed as the Chief Instructor. Li Zhenhua felt that it was too small at first glance at the address of Bowen College. There was simply no room for the imaginary university here. At best, it could accommodate a few hundred people, so he didn't stay any longer. He discussed it with Ding Weilu, and he proposed to Ding Weilu that there were two basic places to choose from. One was the Qing army's in Xigu Village. The second weapon depot is modern industrial Tianjin University. If the address of Tianjin University is fast, you should choose the weapons depot in Xigu Village. In modern time and space, its name is Tianjin Institute of Technology. Li Zhenhua¡¯s familiarity with Tianjin¡¯s geography made Ding Weilu wonder that he had never been to Tianjin.?Are you so familiar with the geography of Tianjin? He didn't even know that Li Zhenhua had grown up here. The North Canal over there was where he went for a summer. Li Zhenhua told his family that he was going to Xigu to have a look. After passing Xigu Village and walking north for a while, there was a big road in front of him that led to the weapons depot. Li Zhenhua drove the car there and headed towards an east-facing road. Li Zhenhua opened the car directly when the gate appeared. Several soldiers were standing guard in front of the door, and a guard told them that the commander-in-chief was here and he wanted to take a look. "Those soldiers had never seen a high official before, but they were familiar with Li Zhenhua, the commander-in-chief. They hurriedly opened the door and let them in. The car circled around inside. It is indeed very big, with more than 100 acres of land. There are also a lot of warehouses and there is no need for them now, so let¡¯s put the university here first. If some of the houses are not suitable, we can build new ones. He asked the driver to take care of the superintendent Li Minchen, the general manager Wang Xiuzhi and the American chief professor Xi Ding Jiali. Please come together and discuss with them the problem of moving the university here. The car left and Li Zhenhua turned around on the edge of the canal. There is now a layer of ice on the river in the distance. It turned out that he often skated here and swam in this river in the summer. Some scenes from childhood appear in my mind Chapter 440 Tianjin University Chapter 440 Tianjin University Text Chapter 441 Site Selection for Tianjin University Chapter 441: Selecting a site for Tianjin University Chapter 441: Selecting a site for Tianjin University Li Zhenhua walked toward the distance by the river. There were constant cheers from there. It seemed that someone was practicing martial arts there. Li Zhenhua walked there and saw only a few people. The young people were there. Among them was a young girl who was practicing swordsmanship. She was flexible and could also use swordsmanship. Li Zhenhua stood aside and watched some young men cheering. Li Zhenhua watched without making a sound. When the girl saw an outsider coming, she stopped and stopped. sword. Seeing the girl looking at Li Zhenhua and smiling at her, a young man next to her was unwilling. He immediately said: "What are you doing? Staring at our senior sister endlessly." Li Zhenhua could only say that he was watching her practice martial arts, so I had to watch. Follow her. " "I think you have bad intentions. "The young man was very angry. "Er Hu, don't make trouble." The girl stopped the young man named Er Hu and said to Li Zhenhua, I don't think you are human. What did you do?" "I have nothing to do. I just came here to take a look." "Just take a look. You don¡¯t look like an official or a businessman, so what are you doing?¡± Li Zhenhua said in his heart that this young man is not easy to mess with. He has to find out the truth, so he said no, I will go to this weapons depot. take a look. " "You are not an official nor a soldier. What do you do with the weapons depot? Catch him and send him to prison. "At this time, an old man behind him came up. He gave Li Zhenhua a fist and said, "Don't blame the children. What did they do to you? This arsenal is not something you can just look at." Li Zhenhua also gave a fist to the old man and said, "Old man, I just want to take a look at this weapon." Ku wants to open a school here. "The old man nodded and saw that you were very kind and didn't care about you. But there is no use of such a big place to set up a school here." The old man was a little doubtful. "There will be a lot of students and teachers in the future, and you can also start some small businesses nearby." "Okay, kids, let's continue practicing. Hei Gu, your sword is not finished yet." Li Zhenhua's mind suddenly turned to this person. Could it be the senior sister from the Boxer Rebellion and the Red Light? This person should be a national hero. She fought a bloody battle with the foreign devils and her whereabouts were unknown at the end. It was not easy for a civilian girl to dare to fight the Eight-Power Allied Forces to the end. Li Zhenhua glanced at her again. She was whispering to the old man. He didn't pay attention but his car was already there, so Li Zhenhua walked back. Supervisor Li Minchen, general manager Wang Xiuzhi, and the American chief instructor Xi Ding Jiali and Ding Weilu were already waiting for him in front of the weapons depot. There's no suitable place inside, so we can just settle the matter here. So Li Zhenhua told them that the place where you are at Bowen Academy was too small to accommodate many students. I decided that we would move the school here and build teaching buildings, laboratories, stadiums, and teachers. We will build the office building and student dormitory into the best school in the country so that schools from all over the country can come here to visit and study. " General Office Wang Xiuzhi immediately said, "If that's the case, it will be a lot of money." "Can you roughly calculate how much silver it will cost?" "If it is done in one step, it will cost at least 160,000 silver dollars." The Ding family stood aside and was also calculating. He also said that 160,000 silver dollars is not much. " "Then how about two hundred thousand silver dollars? I asked Liang Qichao to give you 200,000 silver dollars first. If it is not enough, let¡¯s talk about it. We must build a university that is the best in the country and ranked in the world. You must recruit students from all over the country and recruit teachers from all over the country and the world. If there are not a few famous It's not possible to become a professor, so the Lauding family has established you. You also help recruit some famous professors in the United States. " "Well, with your support, we will definitely run the school well. We are also running an affiliated middle school as a preparatory school for the university. " "The specifics are your business. Let's finish it. " Several people were about to leave. A group of people cheered nearby. It turned out to be the people who were practicing martial arts just now. The old man was about to kneel to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua hurriedly grabbed him. What are you doing? Don't get down when you have something to say. "Kneel down." "I was just complaining that I didn't recognize General Li. Fortunately, my little girl reminded me that I understand that these disciples of mine have to join your army to serve the country." His group of disciples are all on one leg. Kneeling down and surrounding Li Zhenhua, Li Zhenhua took a look at the young men. The girl also knelt on the ground, so he said okay, but there is one thing you all need to get up first, or else my only son will not go if I am not good, and my only son will not go if my parents cannot work. I accepted the rest. ¡±Those young men can be considered asCan anyone be upset that General Li, the hero in his eyes, has lost his troops? Those who couldn't live without others at home looked unhappy. Li Zhenhua said to them that you should each go home and prepare and I will send someone to pick you up in five days. "Li Zhenhua said to the old man again, please leave your name. There will be a lot of construction work here in a few days. Tell the people in the nearby villages that if they have labor, they can participate in the project here." "I will definitely tell the people in the surrounding villages here to the north. It is Dingzigu, and to the east are Baimiao and Xichang. I organized people to follow their orders and said that this was what General Li meant. "Li Zhenhua returned to Bowen College and wanted to visit the teachers and students here. As expected, they really only have more than 300 people. However, these teachers and students are quite good. In their classroom, Li Zhenhua and their textbooks are all English textbooks. The newly recruited students cannot study at all, so he I discussed with them whether to use Chinese textbooks. Li Minchen and Wang Xiuzhi had no objections, but Ding Jiali did not agree. His reason is that if you want to achieve success in the world, you can only use English textbooks. Li Zhenhua didn't say much at first glance. He will discuss with some people in the future before making a decision. China is still relatively backward and wants to catch up as soon as possible. It will take a while to catch up with European and American countries, but learning Chinese is indispensable. If you don¡¯t learn Chinese, you will have forgotten your ancestors. Chapter 441 Site Selection for Tianjin University Chapter 441 Site Selection for Tianjin University Text Chapter 442 What language should be used for teaching? Chapter 442 Teaching with Language Chapter 442 Teaching with Language The next day Li Zhenhua returned to Beijing. When he arrived in Beijing, he immediately convened a meeting of some senior intellectuals such as Sheng Xuanhuai, Xu Shichang, Zhan Tianyou, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wu Tingfang, Liang Qichao, Zheng Guanying, Deng Shichang, Yan Fu and others all came. Li Zhenhua told everyone that the textbooks used by Tianjin University students are in English, which is definitely not suitable for newly recruited students. If we want to improve the cultural quality of all people across the country as soon as possible, we do not have ourselves. Language is not enough. We must catch up with Europe and the United States in all aspects as soon as possible so that the Chinese nation can stand up in front of the people of the world as soon as possible. These people are all high-level intellectuals. They all have a very comprehensive command of English. For example, Zhan Tianyou came to the United States to study when he was a few years old and stayed in the United States for more than ten years until he graduated. Now these people are all over 4 years old. Ten is the best age to work. These people discussed the issue raised by Li Zhenhua. Some people agreed to continue learning in English, but others were opposed. What I agree with is that only by learning a foreign language well can we truly learn from foreigners. Li Zhenhua nodded. Isn¡¯t it true that you can¡¯t learn foreign languages ??and learn other people¡¯s languages? The objection was that Sheng Xuanhuai had never studied abroad. He learned English at work. He did not express his opinion first, but he raised a question to Zhan Tianyou. Minister Zhan Tianyou, what language did you use when training Chinese students to build railways? Minister Duan Qirui, what language do you use when training your recruits? "The two replied that we are all teaching in Chinese." "Then why don't you use foreign languages?" Li Zhenhua laughed at this. Sheng Xuanhuai was really confused. Once these two questions were raised, people were not willing to use foreign languages ??to teach students. Textbook. But when Sheng Xuanhuai changed the subject, he asked Yan Fu again, "Principal Yan, do you use language in teaching at the Naval Academy now?" " Yan Fu immediately said that in the past, our instructors were all foreigners. They were not familiar with Chinese, so they used English. In the past, any instructions on our naval warships were given in English, and the soldiers' replies were also in English. " " So Commander Deng, are you still giving orders in English on your warships? "No skipping words." "No, now we are issuing various orders in Chinese." Sheng Xuanhuai paused and then continued. The example of the navy proves that we must now change this textbook to form the image of our Chinese nation. We can't always follow them and learn from them. We have to learn their language. But if we want to surpass them, we must have something. Now they are also learning from us, such as our military mortars and aircraft for civilian use. Aren¡¯t they also learning from us about cars, silk, and tea? "Don't skip the word. At this time, most people have begun to lean towards Sheng Xuanhuai. Li Zhenhua stood up and clapped repeatedly, saying that Vice Premier Sheng's words today were very wonderful. Now everyone has the same opinion. I would like to add that on the surface, foreigners are We have been given a lot of preferential treatment in education, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to recruit our outstanding students to them. We have many students studying abroad, but they are gone. And we also have many international students now. They don't want to leave, don't they? The purpose of every country is the same, which is to keep the best students. Let's talk about our Minister Zhan Tianyou. Didn't the United States also want to keep him when he first graduated? Well, it turns out that our Minister Zhan Tianyou has a heart to serve the country. He came from the United States and now we have tens of thousands of kilometers of railways. If Zhan Tianyou had stayed, it would have been a huge loss to our country. Everyone has thought about this. Is there a problem? We must compile teaching materials as soon as possible to meet the current needs. Minister Liang, I think you should immediately hire Zhan Tianyou as a visiting professor at Tianjin University." People clapped together and stood up. He repeatedly clasped his fists to thank everyone and said excitedly, "Thank you for your support. I don't dare to be a professor, but I will definitely take the class at Tianjin University." If I hadn't I would have sent my best students to lecture. " Liang Qichao said that if the Department of Civil Engineering was opened, then Zhan Tianyou would be better than any foreign counterpart. I think those foreigners might not dare to give lectures. " "Yes, there are many foreign teachers in our Naval Academy who think so. No, they all have to go back to China. In recent decades, there have been no real naval battles. Only we have experienced two battles, one with Japan and one with Russia. What we are talking about are battle examples. They are simply following the script and are definitely not as vivid and practical as what we talk about. "Yan Fu. also said. "We will immediately organize relevant people to compile the teaching materials. Minister Zhan, you have to be a part of it," Liang Qichao said. "I will definitely serve you. This is not written for anyone. This is for our Chinese people."Work for the rise of ?. "Xu Shichang stood up at this time and said to everyone. Everyone has said a lot just now. Let me say one more thing that is contrary to everyone's opinions. Although we say that we want to cancel English textbooks, we still have to open English classes. We still have to learn from them in many places. And communicate with them." Everyone readily agreed to this point. Li Zhenhua also talked about giving 200,000 silver dollars to Tianjin University. Everyone was also very happy. Li Zhenhua wanted to pay close attention to the current situation of education in the country. If you understand that this is the right thing to do, you should pay close attention to the education work with great fanfare. Don't do it like before. When something happens between the government and the government, everyone quarrels and pulls each other down. They are all considering each other's interests, and no one dares to come forward if they doubt this or that. . After the meeting, Li Zhenhua left Xu Shichang and Sheng Xuanhuai behind. He wanted to talk to them about the mayor of Tianjin. Wang Wenshao used to be the governor of Zhili and is now the governor of Zhili, but he has a lot of work to do and doesn't care. Tianjin is a big city and it is impossible to live there without a powerful mayor. He suggested that Tang Shaoyi should be appointed mayor there. Chapter 442 What language should be used for teaching Chapter 442 What language should be used for teaching Text Chapter 443 Hurd died in his home Chapter 443: Hurd died in his home Chapter 443: Hurd died in his home Xu Shichang and Sheng Xuanhuai thought about it and felt that Tang Shaoyi was a relatively comprehensive talent, especially in Tianjin where many Westernization issues were involved. He was in diplomacy It should be a good thing that he has a different performance. Li Zhenhua asked Xu Shichang to talk to him and then give him 200,000 silver dollars. Ask him to transfer it to Tianjin University, but he must agree with them that such projects will be reviewed in the future and the quality must be guaranteed. This is an absolute no-no. After the discussion was over, everyone who came had left. The secretary brought out to him the backlog of documents that Li Zhenhua wanted to see. The secretary had roughly divided them into types for him. Li Zhenhua first picked up a document from the British side. documents. It turns out that what they were reporting was Hurd¡¯s problem. After Hurd resigned, he immediately returned to China. For decades in China, his identity, status, and salary were beyond the reach of others. Now that he leaves, it will be different. It turns out that others paid for the trip back to China, but now it's him who pays for it. It turned out that the first-class cabin was reserved for him, but now it was only after others said a lot of good things that he was given a third-class berth. Despite this, he is still ambitious to seek a position in the diplomatic service because he knows too much about China. Just talking about it will give him a more ideal position, but he has not been a Chinese intelligence officer for a long time. If we keep an eye on him, we must not allow him to reveal any information to the government. These highly trained intelligence officers could not kill him in China. They could only kill him after he arrived in the UK. In this way, China would not have any responsibility. They had already planned to kill him when he returned to London. An accidental (or normal) death occurred during the night at home. Hurd has basically not been out of the cabin since he boarded the ship in Shanghai, China. It was written in the cabin that he was in that the person in the same cabin as him was from the intelligence service. He disguised himself as a native who did not speak English at all. The businessman took advantage of the opportunity when he went out to go to the toilet to take a look. It turned out that he was sorting out some information about China. Just write it. No one can see what you write. After nearly a month of sailing, Hurd finally returned to London, England. Only some relatives and friends came to pick him up. There was no official person. Only one person informed him to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the minister wanted to see him and said that he would be picked up. In the evening, Hurd drank two more drinks with us. He said he was a little tired and wanted to go to bed early and went upstairs. The watchman who was patrolling at night suddenly caught fire in Hurd's room. After people put out the fire, Hurd was already dead. His family immediately reported it to Scotland Yard in London. The next morning, someone from Scotland Yard came to their conclusion. It was Hurd who was writing at the table last night, but he fell to the floor, probably having a heart attack due to a long journey. He knocked over a candle and it burned. First it ignited the tablecloth and then started a fire. In addition, people fighting the fire have completely destroyed the scene and there is no trace left. But after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs got the news, they immediately judged that the matter was related to the Chinese. The Chinese must have silenced Hurd. But since there was no evidence, they could only think about it and let it go. It¡¯s so fast. The Chinese New Year is coming in a blink of an eye. There are already many banknotes on the market. Newspapers have also done a lot of publicity for the issuance of banknotes. It turned out that the silver coins newly minted at the mint factory in Guangzhou were shipped to Beijing and began to be issued here. Silver dollars and banknotes were first given to workers in enterprises, soldiers in the army, policemen and those who depended on the country. Silver dollars and banknotes were welcomed by people as soon as they came out. No matter whether you buy them or not, you don't have to think about weighing them with a skewer. Just put two silver dollars into one. It's just one tael of silver, and it's convenient to make change. The bank has already prepared various auxiliary coins, including shiny brass nickels, twenties, dimes, and aluminum five-cent and one-cent coins. Because it was convenient for the common people, people unanimously supported it, and the merchants immediately cooperated. The price of ordinary goods also changed from the original amount of silver to the amount of silver dollars or banknotes. The price comparison is open to everyone and everyone can calculate it, so the discomfort with the new currency was quickly overcome. The number is still small. Now the coin factories in Beijing and Shanghai have begun to produce coins, so there are more currencies on the market. Several major banks have also opened their doors one after another. The exchange business is completely free for anyone, as long as you use silver. For silver dollars and circulating banknotes, they have opened many new windows to facilitate people's exchange. In order to understand the use of silver dollars and banknotes, Li Zhenhua asked Yaqi, Jin Xifeng and some guards to go shopping on the street. First, to see the reactions of people who issued new coins, and secondly, to see the price issues of the New Year and whether the products of people celebrating the New Year were good. On supply. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so nothing can happen. If something happens, it won't be good. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Jin Xifeng went out happily. When they arrived at the business district, they left the car outside. They carried baskets and started shopping. They all wanted it, not to mention their whole family, plus the heads of the Government Affairs Bureau who often came to eat. We spent a lot of money that day, especially because they loved the food cooked by Li Zhenhua. Originally, Li Zhenhua was reluctant to cook, but he would occasionally serve a dish, but this dish would make everyone agree. Therefore, people will order this dish when they eat. Although Li Zhenhua did not make it himself, his chef made it according to his request, and the taste may be better than what he made. Also, Li Zhenhua and those people like to eat hot pot. In winter, if you add more chili peppers to the pot, you will be sweating profusely. It is very comfortable, so you need to prepare more beef and mutton. Of course, pork is not allowed. Less. In addition, some discerning businessmen began to transport vegetables here from the south. The price difference between the north and the south is not small. After arriving in the north, the vegetables will be much more expensive, but there are many people waiting in line to buy. Wang Xin also stepped forward to queue up. She wanted Prepare more of the flavors that southerners always want. After buying groceries, we had to look at the fabrics to see the children. So the two of them went to the fabric store again and did not forget to prepare some gifts for the little guy who was far away in Tehran. Chapter 443 Hurd died in his home Chapter 443 Hurd died in his home Text Chapter 444 Have a Happy Spring Festival Chapter 444: Have a Happy Spring Festival Chapter 444: Have a Happy Spring Festival When everyone in the family had already eaten, Li Zhenhua was sitting there drinking tea and saw them. Seeing their festive looks, there was no problem and he was relieved. But those The personnel of the Intelligence Division still cannot relax, they must continue to observe to prevent problems. Their investigation results made Li Zhenhua very satisfied that there was no problem with the currency issuance, the goods for the New Year were sufficient and prices were stable. Their report made Li Zhenhua very happy. After all, they already had some experience in issuing new coins. People from the Ministry of Commerce to all relevant units have made a lot of preparations for the New Year so that the market can develop in a prosperous and orderly manner. Li Zhenhua returned to his study. Now this country is in a state of exhaustion. There are so many things waiting to be done. You must be cautious and not relax at all. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to remedy it. Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I want to think about how to let the people have a peaceful and happy Spring Festival. Li Zhenhua remembered that in that time and space, people had many activities. Now there are no other activities. In some remote rural areas, it is still the same as when the Chinese New Year is celebrated. The men gathered together to gamble. Although the amount was not large, it was still very easy to throw a year's income into it. It would be difficult to bring some local entertainment activities to Beijing for performances. Some operas, yangko, land boats, lion dances, overlord whips, and various folk entertainment activities can also be brought to Beijing, such as the drums in Hejian and the cross talk in Tianjin. , allegro books, etc. I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore, let¡¯s discuss it with everyone. How can we have a happy and peaceful Spring Festival without waiting for him to ask those people to come one by one and see the words Li Zhenhua wrote on the table? "They settled on today's topic. Feng Guozhang first said that the drums in our hometown of Hejian are very famous and have invited two groups to perform in Beijing for a few days." Zhang Zhidong also said about the acrobatics in our hometown of Wuqiao. But they are all unique skills, and they are famous far and wide. " Duan Qirui is from Anhui. He suggested that the Huangmei opera from his hometown come to Beijing to perform their Huangmei opera, which he will never forget. Li Hongzhang also proposed that Tianjin's cross talk and allegiance scripts come to Beijing to celebrate. Everyone mentioned a lot Liang Qichao recorded there. Fortunately, he used a pen, which would have been much slower, and he was already advocating that people use simplified Chinese characters. If the original traditional Chinese characters were used, it would have been much slower. His actions made Li Hongzhang and Zhang. Zhidong also realized that using simplified Chinese characters is much faster than the original traditional Chinese characters. Li Zhenhua watched them talking excitedly and his mind went to another place. It turned out that when something happened to the Qing government, he went to those ministers. Naturally, we stand on both sides. If you support us, we will oppose what you oppose. Then we will definitely support it. If nothing happens, then attack each other. Anyway, it is nothing to cause trouble. Now you are looking at these people, although sometimes their views are not the same at the beginning. They were inconsistent, but in the end, whoever was right just listened to whoever was right. It was like studying the textbooks of Tianjin University a few days ago. People's opinions were not consistent at first, but under the inspiration of Sheng Xuanhuai, people naturally accepted it, plus Xu Shichang's later additions. The solution to the problem will be more perfect. Looking at what happened today, everyone has the same wish to get things done during the New Year. People did not argue at all and the problem was solved after discussion. Although there were sometimes arguments, when the problem was solved, From now on, they will not be dissatisfied with anyone, and this will form a good atmosphere, and there will be no conflicts between people. This is the righteousness in which everyone puts the interests of the country first. . And why did the Qing government have such a phenomenon of quarreling when they met? The result of Li Zhenhua's thinking is that the root cause is that the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu are taking advantage of people's psychology. That is, they all have a small group and each group has interests, and their mother and son are also using these to balance. This is what people often call the emperor's technique of using one party to attack the other. Now there is no selfish thought and all is used for the interests of the country and the people. Those who work with me can only put the interests of the country and the people first. If someone has evil habits, let alone Li Zhenhua, these people will oust him. The national leadership group cannot tolerate those who put personal interests first, and if everyone does this, a normal working atmosphere will disappear quickly. Two more words "culture" are added to the front of his job title. He is now the Minister of Culture and Education. He can be said to be very busy with education work across the country. Various newly established universities are promoting Mandarin and simplifying Chinese characters. A few days ago, he was asked to be responsible for writing. The textbook now adds cultural aspects. This great talent Liang Qichao isLi Huixian, who asked him to be busy, is now a secretary and deputy minister. At this time, he asked again when will our entertainment event enter Beijing? "This is a question. Can people celebrate the Spring Festival too early? If it is late, it will be meaningless. So people started talking about it again, some talking about the fifth and sixth day, some talking about the seventh and eighth day. The final proposal to set the three days on the 14th, 15th and 16th day was approved. Firstly, it allows people to celebrate the New Year. Secondly, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be another festival in Beijing. So it was set on these three days. We will gather together on the 13th, and then the Ministry of Finance will give people money to compensate them. The Ministry of Culture and Education will issue a travel subsidy of 40 Singapore dollars per head of hair per person per day, depending on the distance of the journey. They were all provided by the Ministry of Culture and Education. Liang Qichao quickly sorted out what people had said and then gave a general explanation. The person from the Ministry of Culture and Education who would get it immediately would handle the problem very quickly. The Ministry of Culture and Education issued a document regarding the bringing of cultural activities from various places to Beijing during the Spring Festival. The provinces will arrange the arrangements on a voluntary basis, and the costs will be borne by the state. The corresponding localities will also organize cultural performances for the people during the Spring Festival so that the people can have a peaceful time. Happy Spring Festival (Dear readers, I have to go to Fuyang, Anhui today for 600-700 kilometers. I have some things to do. It is expected to take two days. If I can't come back on Monday, I may have to upload it later. Please bear with me. I will definitely make it up by Tuesday at the latest. Please forgive me) Chapter 444 Have a Happy Spring Festival Chapter 444 Have a Happy Spring Festival. Text Chapter 445 Year-end Summary Meeting Chapter 445 Year-end Summary Meeting Chapter 445 Year-end Summary Meeting Li Zhenhua also proposed a change in the way things are done. He decided to hold a summary meeting for last year before the Spring Festival. This year's Spring Festival is on January 31, 1900 in the Gregorian calendar. It is now January and he is convening a meeting with the governors of various provinces. In the original Qing government, they just kept assigning tasks to the lower levels, but they rarely checked the superior metaphors issued. Now Li Zhenhua wants to check the work of the lower levels. . Since the Government Administration Council took charge of government affairs, it has issued a series of instructions and documents to the following, but it is not clear how well they are implemented now. If it continues, no one will be able to influence these feudal officials. There are still some people who were originally retained. But if Just like how we dealt with the Qing government before, you just send out your instructions and I am the only one and then there is no movement, that's not okay. When it comes to holding a conference, people agree, but how big the scope of this conference is is a problem. Zhang Zhidong immediately said to convene a meeting of the entire provincial government at the level of departments and bureaus. First, let's take a look at how those people arranged it. First of all, Whether a person is qualified or not, the provincial governor will first report this period of work to the Government Affairs Council, and then the leading officials at the lower level department and bureau level will report to their direct superiors. ¡± Li Zhenhua said that for reporting work, we can ask some provinces with better work to report, and the same is true for some advanced units to report. This must form a culture that all tasks assigned by the Beijing government must be carried out seriously. It's not okay to delay, it's not okay, and it's not okay to not move. At the same time, we have to ask them to prepare written materials and report through this meeting. We have to remove some people from their positions. If you are in this position, you must work for the country and the people. It¡¯s not okay to just keep things in a mess. Then let the statistics department conduct statistical statistics every year. Don¡¯t let those who only get paid and do nothing have any luck. From next year, everyone working in the bottom three positions will be included. If you want that official hat on your head, do you still want to wear it? If not, just give up your position and let people who are willing to do things for the people do it. Some people are willing to sit in meetings with these people. The secretary who specializes in recording has recorded everything that people just said. He just organizes the documents and then sends them out. It was set for January 15th. They also wrote a sentence at the end of the document: Anyone who cannot come to attend the meeting must have a real reason, otherwise they will be placed on probation for half a year. Li Zhenhua said to the following: Liu Mingchuan can not be allowed to attend the meeting this time, but a copy of the meeting documents must be given to him. Although we have trusted Governor Liu, we must give him more firepower to get his work done. better. Everyone recognizes that Liu Mingchuan is a man of affairs. He has done very well in Taiwan. As soon as he took over, he asked to find a way to solve the communication problem on Sakhalin Island to maintain contact with the central government. At the same time, he took care of the railway as soon as he arrived. The surveyors brought it and handed over a batch of silver to the central government a few days ago, saying that their wine industry has begun to realize profits and their minerals will start to be mined next year. As far as officials at all levels are concerned, there is no problem in the central government now. They all select outstanding figures. Ministers in various ministries are all elites. However, in the province, there is a mixed bag of good and bad. Some are promoted through connections and some are bought with money. Although in the Under the influence of the new situation in the country, people have begun to seek strength, but it cannot be ruled out that some people are still dawdling, which is absolutely intolerable in Li Zhenhua's eyes. It depends on their performance. If you are willing to be this official, then show some real skills. Otherwise, I will have to sideline you. My money will not be given to you in vain. If you dare to embezzle, I will kill you. I'm not afraid of anyone, and I don't have that many connections to let you go. If anyone dares to say good things to them, that's not the case. People in the Executive Council don't dare to intercede with them. The ministers below are all top people in China. They don't get along with those people. Liang Qichao rushed back to the ministry as quickly as possible. He had too much work and it was hard for him to do it. Anyway, Li Zhenhua had already delegated power to him. It turned out that he could allocate and use the officials from the academic department and the Imperial College at will. Some of them were really No, we are determined to do a good job in education, but some people can't do it. That's what Li Zhenhua said, occupying the hole and doing nothing. Although the words are crude, they are to the point. Things cannot be done alone. Liang Qichao mobilized a large number of people to help him. Among them, he also found a lot of capable people. He immediately assigned work to them. Anyway, if they work for a day, there will be no wages. So all the work was carried out in an orderly manner. This kept Liang Qichao busy until the evening of the next day. After receiving the notice from the central government, the work of each province started quickly. Some of them were seriously summarizing to see how much they had done this year. They called in their subordinates to organize them by category and then prepared.The large number of figures reported to the superiors reflects their initiative in carrying out various tasks to cooperate with the central government in handling local problems after the New Deal began. In some provinces that were unfavorable, they quickly urged the lower levels to carry out the work. Don't let the upper levels take off their hats. They also started to get busy. It was really because they were grinding their guns before the battle and they were exhausted anyway. They were still willing to work, but they felt that the central government now had some intentions for the lower levels. However, when they saw the news from Beijing, they were notified that this was not a joke, it was serious. Unless they didn¡¯t want to do it anymore and couldn¡¯t think about it anymore, they had to do a good job. There are also some people who really didn't do anything, but as soon as they saw the notice from above, they just pretended to be fake and it was no longer possible. The people below gave them advice and asked them to pretend to be sick, but they were scolded by him. Is it obvious that those who cannot attend will be kept on probation for half a year? Isn't this pointing a finger at the gunpoint? There were no provincial governors, but a newly appointed prefectural-level finance director committed suicide. This director wanted to take this opportunity not to come to Beijing. When they asked for leave from Beijing, the reply they received was that the notice had already stipulated that anyone who did not come to Beijing to attend the meeting would be kept on probation for six months. ¡± Chapter 445 Year-end Summary Meeting Chapter 445 Year-end Summary Meeting Text Chapter 446 Year-end Summary Meeting (2) Chapter 446 Year-end Summary Meeting (2) Chapter 446 Year-end Summary Meeting (2) The situations of provincial governors in various places have fallen into the eyes of the intelligence agencies, and they are also actively preparing to report their situations to their superiors. The situation in different places is different. The central government is also making preparations. The Government Affairs Council also needs to explain this period of work to the lower levels, so these old people are also making preparations together. It will soon be January 12th. Officials from some provinces have arrived in Beijing. They have to report this year¡¯s work summary and next year¡¯s work plan to the Government Affairs Council in Beijing in advance. They were arranged to stay in some large hotels, the largest of which were two hotels owned by Xinghua Group Company. They had modern style standard rooms and bathrooms. The governor lived in a set of two rooms, and the deputy governor and below Everyone is sharing a room with two people. In general, there are more than a dozen people in the province, and no sedan attendants, attendants, honor guards, or guards are prepared for them. Everyone in the place is equal. If you must have a guard, just let the guard live with you. There are also no other services. There are absolutely no opium smokers or women with fireworks, but there are many guards in front of the door. They are carefully checking everyone's ID. The so-called ID is a piece of paper stamped with the seal of the Government Affairs Council. There was a note with name and work unit written on it. The places that came early were mainly the big cities of Tianjin, Beijing, Shanghai, Fangcheng, Karamay and Fengtian. These were all places formerly under the control of the New Army and some of the places where the work has been most prominent recently. They had already made arrangements for their work. I will have a long-term plan for my work every year in the future. Like Gao Tianming of Karamay, his task next year is to continue to increase crude oil production, increase the amount of refined oil, and turn over gold to reach a new number. Petroleum schools will recruit new students this year to increase by 20%. There must be new breakthroughs in the reprocessing of petroleum products. At the same time, it was decided to carry out technical cooperation with Dongying City, the big brother, to extract more oil from oil. When these senior officials at the provincial level come together, they are learning from each other and communicating to strive for better work next year. The same officials from the two cities are studying together how to do specific work well. This kind of communication has become more lively as more and more people come from all over the world. This was something that was impossible before. Gangs and gangs have divided them into small interest groups. They must be loyal to that gang, otherwise, if If something happens, no one will help you. Besides, previous summons by Empress Dowager Cixi or Emperor Guangxu were only on a small scale. There has never been a situation like this. The meeting was held at the Oriental Hotel on Chang'an Street. Officials staying in various places were received at the Oriental Hotel early in the morning on the 15th. It was scheduled to start at 8:30. At 8:20, Li Zhenhua and the leaders of the Government Affairs Council arrived at the venue, followed by those Ministers of various ministries. As soon as they arrived, Li Zhenhua stood up and applauded the ministers to welcome him. Isn't this a bit reversed? When Li Zhenhua came in, no one stood up and applauded. When the provincial governor and subordinates came, people started to applaud. Anyway, Li Zhenhua is the one who made those ministers and provincial governors very uneasy. They are Li Zhenhua cheering them on. But Li Zhenhua, the elite among the Chinese people, can not get applause, but it is impossible not to applaud them. The whole country must let them know. People in China respect them and want to make their working environment better in the future. The meeting went on one by one. First, Li Hongzhang gave a work report on behalf of the Government Affairs Council. From the victory against the Russian army to the beginning of the rebellion, the suppression of the rebellion, the establishment of the Government Affairs Council, and a series of work of the Government Affairs Council, he made a report to the participating officials. Then some typical ministers will report on the financial revenue and expenditure and take back the customs. In terms of military affairs, warships are built. The Ministry of Political and Legal Supervision has successfully tried the foreigners in the customs. In terms of railways, another 5,000 kilometers of railways have been added this year to connect Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan, and Nanjing. Wait until they are connected together. It connects Beijing, Tianjin, Fengtian, Changchun and Harbin and will move towards Khabarovsk next year. In terms of education, the first thing to do is to establish universities. Tianjin is ahead of the curve. Mayor Lin Tianming of Beijing has changed the original "Beijing University" approved by Emperor Guangxu into "Peking University". Tianjin University is based on science. I think Peking University should focus on liberal arts. So Peking University first established disciplines such as liberal arts, science, law, engineering, and agriculture. Beijing Mayor Lin Zhiming appointed Cai Yuanpei as president (he was the fourteenth president in the original time and space). At this time, Cai Yuanpei was only thirty-three. age. ?The president of Fudan University was established in Shanghai and appointed Ma Xiangbo to serve as the business subject they established in Fudan. ?¡ ?Then there were reports from the provincial governors. They all did some of their own things. Below are the reports from some cities. On the second day, we conducted group discussions at their respective places of residence.During the three days, discussions were conducted by type, with finance, military, education, etc. divided into about ten groups. On the fourth day, each province arranged plans for next year. On the last day, they reported to the conference. The five-day meeting was tense and lively. People were inspired to a great extent. People expressed to the central government that they would work better in the new year and truly serve the country. Make some work. Finally, Li Zhenhua said a few words. As a senior official of the government, you should focus on how to do a good job. During the day you are in office, you should do things that are beneficial to the country and the people. If you just think about how to do it, sooner or later you will If you are opposed by the people, you may also come into contact with the law. At that time, no one can save you. I have read some provincial reports in the past two days. Those people still regard the current society as the situation in the Qing Dynasty. If you are like this, I think you should resign as soon as possible. Don't let someone put a knife on your neck in the future. It's too late. Don't think I'm trying to scare you. I won't be polite to people who harm the people. That¡¯s all I have to say today, thank you all. " People applauded his speech warmly, but there were also people who were beating small drums in their hearts. This man sometimes kills people without blinking an eye. This time he can be safe, but he must think about it carefully. It is definitely not possible - it is too late. The second is to wait for him to be beheaded. Chapter 446 Year-end Summary Meeting (2) Chapter 446 Year-end Summary Meeting (2) Text Chapter 447 Celebrating the New Year with Workers Chapter 447 Celebrating the New Year with the Workers Chapter 447 Celebrating the New Year with the Workers Li Zhenhua admires the original approach very much. It is not a bad thing to have some opponents, so that they can give you some opinions at any time. This can help you make fewer mistakes. There's nothing wrong with that. In the future, he plans to establish an "advisory committee" specifically for those people to provide advice to the new government. The purpose of today¡¯s gathering is to let them prepare first and then meet with them more often. As long as it¡¯s not malicious, that¡¯s fine. If you want something else, that¡¯s fine. In the evening, most of the old people came to the Oriental Hotel. First, they were allowed to enjoy some local operas, and then there was a tea party. Here, Li Zhenhua and senior officials from the Government Affairs Council toasted the old people and accompanied them through the night. Had a fun evening. The next day it was those Chinese and foreign experts. Even the foreign embassies sent invitations. Among them were experts from France and the United States who had followed him since Fangcheng, as well as some experts from the United Kingdom and Germany who had come recently, and some. Russians from prisoners of war to experts. Most of these people came with their wives in all their glory. Most of them had never seen senior Chinese officials attending banquets, but today their eyes were opened. A young and beautiful woman in a skirt appeared at the venue. Those who are familiar with him will not find it strange. They immediately introduced this man who was both civil and military to them. However, most of the people are still large, and most of them are elites in industrial enterprises, such as Zhan Tianyou, known as the father of China's railways, Wei Han, a Chinese shipbuilding expert, Yan Fu, the president of the Naval Academy, Captain Ma Jifen of the Navy, and his Zhang Xiaomei and Liang Qichao also brought their Among the younger ones, I would say President Cai Yuanpei of Peking University. Because there were some foreigners at today's party, yesterday's arrangement was changed. First there was a buffet-style reception and then some music was played. Some young waitresses in the hotel also dressed up and danced with the people. Yaqi and Jin Xifeng also joined in. Gone among them. Although the dancing was not very good, it became a lasting memory for those who could dance with them. This gives those foreigners a new feeling that China is indeed different from before. China now has the same taste as European and American countries. What's more, this ancient country will burst out with its powerful vitality in the future, and they will definitely become one of the greatest countries in the world. On the morning of the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Zhenhua called Li Hongzhang. He told Li Hongzhang that he was going downstairs and asked him to do it for him at home. Then the family went out. They went to the power plant in Fangshan first. People here can't take holidays. They have to stick to their jobs. As soon as Li Zhenhua arrived, he went to the production line. He first gave New Year greetings to those front-line workers and wished them good luck in the new year. I wish you all the best in the year and say goodbye to everyone. Li Zhenhua went to the flight school in the eastern suburbs to pay New Year's greetings to the people there. He specially gave Feng Ru a set of cultural school supplies and had New Year's Eve dinner with the officers and soldiers there. Then they went to the Beijing train station to pay New Year's greetings to the workers there. He Hearing that a train to the Northeast was about to leave soon, he gave up the idea of ??taking the special train. He wanted to take this train to Tianjin. Although people were trying to dissuade him, Li Zhenhua said, "No, no one will care about me during the Chinese New Year." Wouldn't it be fine if all of you who are unfavorable come up? " There was basically no one on the train on New Year's Eve. Li Zhenhua and his family went to the dining car to eat dumplings for the first grade of junior high school with the train staff. This made those people moved to tears. After that, Li Zhenhua drove with people again. Soon after the party, Li Zhenhua and his family got off the train and waved goodbye to the staff on the train. In the past few days, Li Zhenhua and his family went to Tianjin Station and the shipyard, and then to several large mining companies in Fengtian. Celebrating the New Year with heavy industry workers, Tang Jieshu accompanied him all the time. Then they went to Lushun to visit the workers of the Naval Shipyard there. It was not until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that he heard that Li Zhenhua came from the Northeast and all the people from the Government Affairs Council came. After saying some New Year's greetings together, everyone began to look into the work for this year. The day's plan starts in the morning and the year's plan starts in the spring. The thing in front of us is that folk literature and art workers will go to Beijing after the New Year. It has been given to Liang Qichao to handle it with full authority. He will definitely be able to handle this matter well. Then he will consider the founding of the country. In the first half of the year, it will be these two basic tasks, and then let people go down and see what the people have to say about the New Deal currently being implemented. Take a look at what those officials are doing down there. This has to go on. Just staying in Beijing and not understanding the situation below is not enough. We must seize the favorable opportunity of the past ten years to do a good job in domestic construction and military construction. If something happens in the world, we can make full use of it. If we don¡¯t pay close attention in the past few years, it won¡¯t work. Then we can take advantage of it step by step.?Come on, let¡¯s get through this new year smoothly first, so that the people can truly have a happy and peaceful Spring Festival. Soon it¡¯s the tenth day of the first lunar month. Literary and artistic groups from all over the country have already arrived. They found a place to rehearse first, and there is joy everywhere. The sound of gongs and drums, the children's firecrackers are always setting off, and the spirit of the New Year is still enough. Yes, this year the Qing government was overthrown, and people got rid of the ignorant and ignorant systems that were weighing on their heads. The new policies brought people affluence. This year has been more comfortable than any other year. Not to mention, there was too much meat in the pot. Even the beggars on the street were no longer visible. It used to be that the street was full of children playing. Now they all go to school to study. The adults at home said to the children, you must be good. Study and strive to contribute to the country when you grow up. Our family has not produced a scholar for several generations. That is because our family is poor. Now that our family has some extra money, we must support your education. This is a good country now. " The children can also play for a few days during the Chinese New Year, which they usually don't do. Now they can go to relatives' houses everywhere during the winter vacation.

It turned out that they were unwilling to go to visit relatives. I can¡¯t take it out. Not only do I have it now, if I see someone with children, I can also take out a few new bills to use as lucky money for the children. Do you think this life is easier? After the New Year, children also have a few brand-new silver dollars or banknotes in their hands. One aspect of the improvement of Chinese people's lives nowadays is that people have a sense of indomitableness. Take those foreigners as an example. Those foreigners dare to bully Chinese people on the street, and they don't care about your identity as long as they meet you. Foreigners have to be one level lower than them, but now they are no longer good, everything must be equal. Didn't you see the government officials chopped off the heads of foreigners not long ago? That is to say, no matter you are a human being, as long as you arrive in China Then you have to listen to the Chinese. If you don't want to listen to the Chinese, it's best not to come to China. As long as you enter this land of China, you have to listen to this place. Everyone has seen that foreigners and Chinese are very friendly nowadays. They come to China to help China's construction and to work in China. But no matter who comes to China, they are very friendly to the Chinese. No one will bully the Chinese casually anymore. From now on, we Chinese must also stand up and behave as human beings. Nowadays, many foreigners have married Chinese and become Chinese or Chinese. Especially some countries close to China are proud to have Chinese relatives, especially the Japanese. If someone's family has a Chinese People's relatives seem to be superior to others. Even a family who is a concubine to a Chinese is very honorable. Nowadays, China's laws have also made great progress and have a protective effect on foreigners. As long as they violate the law on Chinese soil, they will be punished regardless of their national boundaries and race. But many local officials We all have a tendency that relatively speaking, Chinese people want to take some credit, which makes many people working and doing business in China willing to have Chinese nationality. Foreigners also like some of the activities that Chinese people like very much. They also like Chinese opera, martial arts, history, etc. just like the Chinese. Especially those international students who come to China. As soon as they graduate, they rush to find a job in China and no longer think about it. Chinese food alone attracts many foreigners. Another thing that makes the people happy from the bottom of their hearts is that all the soldiers and policemen are government workers. They are amiable and amiable when they meet the people. There is no soldier or policeman who is not friendly to the people. They all regard the people as their own. Treat like elders. When Lin Zhiming heard that literary and artistic groups from all over the country were coming to Beijing, he immediately thought of two things. First, he must be a good host and entertain those people invited by the central government. Second, he must not fall behind and must provide some. Let people from all over the country take a look at decent cultural and artistic activities to see that we in Beijing also have unique skills. The first is the Peking Opera, which is the quintessence of China. This time, they were asked to perform outside instead of in the theater. At first, these people were a little reluctant. Lin Zhiming told them how many people would watch your performance in the theater. How many people watch the performances outside? This is your advertisement (this is not a word). After people are familiar with it, they will go to the theater to watch it. Organize more venues and the Jingyun Dagu, and prepare a few more performances. He also asked people to go to the overpass and organize the performers there to compete with groups from other places to see who performs. Well, those people actively cooperated with him upon hearing this, and some fans also organized themselves and joined the performance troupe. On the fourteenth day, performance teams from all over the country took to the streets. It can be said that the whole of Beijing was empty. Everyone went to watch the performance. Cen Chunxuan ordered all the police to be on duty on the streets to maintain order and prevent riots. There are performing teams in some public places, such as Chang'an Street from east to west. There are performing teams in the square in front of the station and in front of some restaurants and shopping malls. Peking Opera, Ping Opera, and Hebei Bangzi that the old people like all appear here on the street. Today, there is no need to go to the theater. Children like those who play the King's Whip, and they follow the team. Women like to watch those girls dancing the Yangko. What was popular among the people was the young men and women from the martial arts teams from Tianjin who wore various costumes and showed off their various skills. Those big drums in Hejian are really not played by Feng Guozhang. The big men who beat the drums all took off their shirts and stripped their backs, desperately swinging their hammers at the big drum with a diameter of more than two meters. The sound could be heard for more than ten people. Miles and miles away. Even though they were not wearing any shirts, their heads were still covered in sweat. Li Zhenhua and the governmentThe old people in the hospital discussed and invited some relevant leaders and outstanding people from various places to stand on the tower on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to watch people's performances. Yaqi and Jin Xifeng also brought two pairs of telescopes. This tower was definitely not accessible to anyone before. It had strict regulations. Li Zhenhua had been here before in his previous life. It happened that one of his students was a major battalion commander of the Armed Police Force and he was able to go up here and see it. Later, in order to increase revenue, the Palace Museum also opened this place, which brought in a lot of money. Even the people who come in now have a special mentality. They think that only people from the royal family can come up in the past and in the future. But now Li Zhenhua has the idea of ??letting ordinary people come up and have a look. . The performances of teams ranged from the martial arts teams in front of the city tower to the team flags they all had in front of them. There was a big flag in front of each team that said "Tianjin Beiyang Martial Arts Team" and "Tianjin Xiaonanhe Martial Arts Team" and "Jinghai". Martial Arts Team", "Zhili Hejian Martial Arts Team", "Cangzhou Martial Arts Team", etc. They are performing performances. Li Zhenhua has already seen Lin Heiniang by the Tianjin Beiyun River. Li Zhenhua immediately sent someone to invite her to come up for a while. Kung Fu Lin Hei Niang has arrived at the gate. This time, Lin Hei Niang did not give Li Zhenhua the womanly salute but gave Li Zhenhua a military salute. Chapter 448 The Chinese who straightened their backs Chapter 448 The Chinese who straightened their backs. Text Chapter 449 The Emperor¡¯s New Clothes Chapter 449 The Emperor¡¯s New Clothes Chapter 449 The Emperor¡¯s New Clothes Li Zhenhua asked her whether Heroine Daolin is now a soldier? " "General, all our people are going to be soldiers, but Mayor Tang only selected some of them, but I have also become a soldier and are being trained in Tianjin before being assigned to other places. " "Very good. You are all talents of the country. How about you call the organizers of the martial arts teams below? I want to invite you to have a potluck dinner together tonight. " "Okay, I would like to thank the general for everyone. " "You're welcome. Don't forget to call your grandfather Lin, the old hero." " "I will never forget it. I will thank you on behalf of grandpa. I'm going down now. "A secretary followed up and told Lin Heiniang to ask her to organize those people to wait in the lobby of the Oriental Hotel at seven o'clock in the evening. Li Zhenhua would be there then. Several large companies in Beijing ingeniously set up a few promotional vehicles to bring some The play was moved to the car. Actors performed on the car. The workers of the power plant organized the militia. They wore camouflage uniforms and held rifles in their hands to perform assassination performances on the streets. A team of thousands of people was directed by a coach to perform a stabbing action. The sound of "kill" from thousands of people was shocking. They arranged some assassination actions into continuous movements of forward and backward movements, attracting a large number of spectators. At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Zhenhua arrived at the Oriental Hotel on time. As soon as he entered the lobby, all the martial arts masters stood up and greeted Li Zhenhua with fists. Li Zhenhua saluted everyone and then asked everyone to sit down. Li Zhenhua's purpose today is to let them serve as leaders to make a start for the country's future national sports and fitness training. As long as the report of his meeting with martial arts figures today is published, it will have a sensational effect. . Everyone made introductions together: Not to mention Lin Heiniang, Huo Yuanjia from Xiaonanhe Jingwu Association, Zhang Decheng from Jinghai (this is the senior brother of the Boxer Regiment), Wang Ziping from Cangzhou, Ma Zhankui from Hejian, etc. Li Zhenhua asked them all to sit down and said to them cordially that all of you here are martial arts masters. I have heard about your affairs a long time ago. Now I have something to ask you to help me with. " Li Zhenhua all stood up when he heard this. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop everyone. He smiled and said that he was not asking everyone to go to war, but asking everyone to carry forward our ancient martial arts, so that you can bring more apprentices and let more people practice martial arts. You foreigners call us Chinese the sick men of East Asia. This is a great insult to us. Now our country is rising in all aspects. Of course, we also need to make progress in terms of physical fitness. Please help me. Are you done? Are you seniors interested? " "Since the general thinks highly of us, we will definitely serve him. "All the heroes said together. "Then I would like to thank you all seniors. "After finishing speaking, Li Zhenhua stood up and saluted everyone. Huo Yuanjia said that we should all unite. Let our Chinese martial arts shine in the world by breaking down the sectarian differences." Wang Ziping also said that most of the people who came today are from Zhili. We are going to issue an initiative to invite martial arts comrades across the country to form the National Wushu Sports Federation. I suggest that we ask Master Huo Yuanjia to be our president. " "Okay" everyone agreed. Huo Yuanjia said, I mean to ask Mr. Lin to be our president. He is highly respected." Mr. Lin said, there is no need to shirk it. General Li also said that this is a good thing for the country. We all have to contribute to the good things that benefit the people. " Li Zhenhua took the lead in applauding, and all the people also applauded together. This is how a private sports organization was established. The next day's newspaper published the story of Li Zhenhua's meeting with representatives of the martial arts team. This was published in the newspaper, which triggered a nationwide martial arts movement. It was as popular as table tennis back then. The intelligence from the intelligence agency came again. The British were increasing their troops in South Africa. This time, Lord Roberts was sent to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force. Commander-in-Chief of the British Army Roberts. The Lord led the army to capture Johannesburg, the capital of the Boer Republic. Eight months later, they captured the northern town of Mafeking. The British commander-in-chief, Lord Roberts, entered Johannesburg and began to further attack the Boers. Li Zhenhua is not worried about the large amount of land owned by the Boers. It is not that there is a lot of gold and diamonds there. They will continue to fight there for a few years. As long as the British are afraid, it will be fine. Now they have a few tricks against them. One is to take care of Hurd, and the other is to cut down the British, but they haven't fought back yet. Let's wait and see what they can do. Come. Years later, people began to prepare Li Zhenhua for the emperor's new clothes.When he hears it, he laughs in his heart, doesn¡¯t he become that stupid king? The Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs collected photos of emperors from various countries and used their costumes as a reference. This inevitably reminded Li Zhenhua of the fable "The Emperor's New Clothes". There was no need to make it so gorgeous and useless. He thought it was better to be simpler but too big. Some officials disagreed with his statement because the emperor's clothes represent the dignity of a country, which must not be taken lightly. So some famous silk shops and fashion designers from Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin were invited to Beijing to design new clothes for the emperor. Then Li Zhenhua notified Sun Wen and asked him to design clothes. Sun Wen couldn't help but said, I know how to design clothes. "Li Zhenhua said it doesn't matter. The main thing is to make it civilian and simple and not to use useless decorative items." Sun Wen had no choice but to agree and give it a try, but there was no guarantee that it would meet the emperor's requirements. After several days of design and production, a batch of clothes were produced for Li Zhenhua and a dedicated team to choose. Li Zhenhua naturally fell in love with the set of clothes designed by Sun Wen. He did not look at the other clothes at all. He asked Sun Wen to explain to them. It was designed to look like this. Sun Wen told the review group that this set of clothes truly embodies the emperor's civilian style and simplicity. At the same time, for the convenience of work, I designed four pockets to hold some items on the left side of the pocket flap of the jacket. There is a hole for holding pens. In addition, this set of clothes is comfortable to wear, so there is no need to deliberately consider its own problems. "That is to say, you don't have to think about how you have to wear it in the future. Chapter 449 The Emperor's New Clothes Chapter 449 The Emperor's New Clothes Text Chapter 450 The Regent of Persia is coming Chapter 450: The Regent of Persia is coming Chapter 450: The Regent of Persia is coming Chapter 450: The Regent of Persia is coming In a word, it is simple. It only takes three minutes for one person to get up in the morning and get dressed without anyone having to worry about it. Unlike the old emperors, it was impossible to wear clothes without someone to wait on them. Even if it was possible, it would take a long time. Especially the Empress Dowager Cixi took an hour to put on clothes and make-up. After hearing the explanations of Sun Wen and Li Zhenhua, people finally understood that the emperor was not the original emperor, he just wanted to use it to do some useful things instead of looking good and majestic. In the end, the clothes were submitted to the Government Affairs Council for discussion. After some controversy, it was finally approved. Moreover, Li Zhenhua decided that this set of clothes could be worn by ordinary people, but because it was designed for the emperor, ordinary people could not wear it. He suggested that everyone wear such clothes to facilitate work, but the small opening cannot be used to hang brushes. However, these are ordinary clothes. We don¡¯t need the emperor¡¯s military uniform. Li Zhenhua doesn¡¯t need anyone else to design this military uniform. He has to design it. In other words, the clothing of the army, navy and air force in the future will be military uniforms. Except for the navy, the clothing is convenient for wartime use. Camouflage uniforms for other services and arms other than the Air Force are very good. ??????????????????? And if you want to design a military uniform, you don¡¯t actually need to design it, just draw a modern military uniform. They just made it by hand and made it very suitable when worn. There is no ribbon, the tassels on the shoulders are just small lapels, the four pockets are tucked in at the waist, and the pants with armed belts are made into barrel pants. However, the crotch should be larger for ease of movement. The three armies are basically the same except for the different colors. As soon as we entered the founding ceremony in April, all the preparations had been basically completed. People from all over the country came to participate in the celebration and arrived in Beijing one after another. The foreign delegations had also arrived. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs headed by Xue Fu became busy with Countries with which China has political, military, and economic contacts all sent delegations to attend the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor. Delegations from various countries that have arrived in Beijing will first report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, and then the Chinese side will arrange the place and place for them to submit their credentials. Xue Fucheng originally knew the situation of a weak country without diplomacy. This time, he stood up. No, it cannot be said that it is only Xue Fucheng who has straightened up his back, but it is the Chinese nation that has straightened up his back. He just asked a deputy minister to be responsible for receiving those who came to make relevant preparations for him. This was just a check-in and there was no need to go out. If some countries were at the same level, they would have to come forward. If they were above, they would have to ask for instructions from above. But the appearance of a messenger made him put down his "air" and hurriedly welcomed him out. It turned out that the person who came was just a small messenger from the Persian Empire. He was not qualified to be compared with Xue Fucheng. He told Minister Xue Fucheng that the regent would arrive on time. Please make preparations for your welcome. In fact, Li Zhenhua had already heard the news that Avna Abiel was coming. When Avna Abiel said she would come in person, Li Zhenhua had already given her all-round consideration. It should be safer to go, but the journey is too far. It's okay for her alone, but it's not good if there are others. That is to go by sea, board a ship in the Persian Gulf, take our warships through the Sea of ??Oman and then enter the Arabian Sea. Then it will be fine. A large number of Chinese warships can appear there. Provide escort. All the way to China's Bohai Sea and into Tianjin. Avna Abir listened to Li Zhenhua¡¯s suggestion and decided to reach China by sea as quickly and safely as she had not yet met his father. Besides, I miss Li Zhenhua very much, but it is impossible to stay here for a long time because her father has left the state affairs in her hands. My brother's body and IQ are not political materials. Now he can only stir up trouble. This is a heavy burden, isn't it? She has been given the title of regent. The guards of the Persian royal family in Abbas Port occupy most of this place. This is the territory of the British. They have long been informed by the above that the dignitaries of the Persian royal family will board the ship here. They are going to China to participate in the founding of the Chinese people. All local personnel at the ceremony must do a good job in protecting the event and must not let anything go wrong. If something goes wrong, it will cause trouble. So the Royal Navy was also on the dock. Liu Hai's light cruiser "Songshan" has already docked here. Another royal cruise ship "Goddess" has spread a red carpet from the gangway of the cruise ship. A Chinese-made car is parked on the other side of the carpet. A Persian regent, Avna Abir, appeared at the door of the car. At the same time, Wang Xin and the others glanced at the warship and the dragon flag flying high on the cruise ship. They took a deep breath and stepped forward gracefully. Walking quickly towards the cruise ship "Goddess". All the officers and soldiers on the warship saluted her together, and the military band played cheerful music to welcome Wang Xin and Avna Abil aboard. Behind them are Avna Abir's large entourage and her luggage. Fortunately, there is a cruise ship. If it weren't for the warship, it would not be able to hold so much. ?Hai Hai came to the cruise ship and asked Wang Xin and Avna Abiel for instructions: "Your Majesty the Regent, is it possible to sail the boat now?" Avna Abiel was in a much happier mood than when she saw the dragon flag just now. When she felt a little more relaxed, she glanced at Wang Xin and said to Liu Hai in Chinese that the captain could sail the ship. "Liu Hai said "yes" and then ordered to set sail." The ship and the ship whistled at the same time. The cruise ship was in front, the warship followed behind, and behind them were two white tracks. The people on the shore breathed a sigh of relief. They finally left. The speed of the warships is up to thirty-two knots, and the speed of the cruise ships is not slow, but they maintain a speed of two knots. After more than ten days, they entered the Bohai Sea and were greeted by a group of warships. The sound of salutes rumbled on the high watchtower. A signal was sent, "The motherland welcomes you home." When they heard what people told her, Wang Xin and Avna Abil shed tears. This is our home. The Persian Empire can only be our natal home. Avna? The child whom Abir had hugged whispered to him, "We are going home." " At this time, there are many foreign ships parked on the sea outside Dagukou. They are the ships of envoys from various countries. During the entire celebration, a ship review will be held here to show off their force. Most of the warships from various countries are main battleships. The cruise ship entered Dagukou. All the large warships stopped. They hung out signal flags to the "Goddess" cruise ship and wished you a safe journey." Two small gunboats, one after the other, surrounded the "Goddess" and entered the Haihe River again. After more than an hour of sailing, they arrived at the pier in front of Tianjin Railway Station. They were greeted by an acquaintance. Before the cruise ship came up, they saw Yaqi jumping in the air and people were already on the cruise ship. Wang Xin rushed forward and hugged Yaqi closely. Avna hugged each other. Abil looked at the two of them from the side. Chapter 450 The regent of Persia has arrived Chapter 450 The regent of Persia has arrived Text Chapter 451 Founding Ceremony Chapter 451 The Founding Ceremony Chapter 451 The Founding Ceremony Wang Xin, with tears on his face, hurriedly pulled Yaqi: I can¡¯t forget to say this at this time, you little jealous person, please let me introduce it to you. " "No need to introduce me, this is Yaqi. "After Avna Abiel finished speaking, she bowed her knees to Wang Xin in an aristocratic manner. Yaqi immediately said carelessly, no one has to do this. Show me this quickly." One person immediately hugged the child, and Yaqi hurriedly hugged the child to his little face and kissed him endlessly. When Yaqi saw it, she hurriedly called the two children she had brought, Wei Guo and Jianguo. They also arrived in front. Wang Xin held the two children tightly in his arms. Li Zhenhua left excitedly. It turns out that the people in the Government Affairs Council didn't allow Li Zhenhua to come to Tianjin to pick up Avna? Abir, but Li Zhenhua insisted on coming. This is different from welcoming others. This is a family matter to welcome two beloved wives who have been separated for a long time. No matter how far away they are, the same is true for others. What cannot be said. We met across the pier and the station. The car took them to the special train at the station. At this time, Avna and Abiel, who was nestled in Li Zhenhua's arms, were still full of tears. Li Zhenhua said to her that they were still full of tears when they got home. If you don't want to Come and let's go. " Avna? Abil pinched his arm hard and then rubbed him gently and said, "Don't you think I miss you? You just tease me. Don't miss anyone this time." "Let me go." Yaqi smiled and said, "Look at how affectionate they are. Ah Xin is holding our little baby. We don't want to use it as a light bulb for them. Let's go." "The two of them went out smiling with their children in their arms. "These two are so good to me. " "In our family, men and women are equal, and we help and care for each other. " "Fortunately, I also prepared some gifts for them, otherwise it would be ugly. " "They won't blame you if you come from afar. "Three people in one drama, this is definitely not nonsense. Plus three children, it will be even more lively. Seeing these three people together, they have endless fights. Avna? Abir is a caring person. She has prepared several boxes of gifts for this person. She also I didn't forget to give Jin Xifeng a gift. Most of it was filled with clothes. Even Persian-style women's clothes that they couldn't wear. Each of them had a set of skirts for all seasons, formal dresses and evening dresses. Of course, they had these two at home. I personally also prepared clothes designed by them and Li Zhenhua for Avna Abir. One is a work skirt worn by modern people, the other is the original Qing dynasty cheongsam, and more clothes from all seasons. The three of them can be used as a living room. Three of them took turns to show off to Li Zhenhua and the three children. The two brothers kept applauding, and the little guy who was less than one year old was also applauding. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but think that our clothing industry would start here. If the three of them go out for a walk, the clothes will definitely not be unsaleable. "The registration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reached dozens of countries, and most countries in the world have come. Preparations for this aspect have also been completed, and Chang'an Street has been renovated. A large square has appeared in front of it, which can accommodate a gathering of hundreds of thousands of people. The troops participating in the parade have also entered the temporary garrison. All procedures have been determined. Speaking of this procedure, it turns out that there is a small episode: whether to hold the founding ceremony of the country or the emperor's enthronement ceremony first. Zhang Zhidong proposed that the emperor's enthronement ceremony should be held first. His reason is that the country cannot survive in one day. There are many people who have no masters and have already sat on the throne before gaining national power, so many people support his views. But Xu Shichang and some other people said that the founding ceremony of the country should be held first because even the previous emperor said that the country, the country and the country were more important than the king. What's more, now the founding ceremony itself is more important than the enthronement ceremony. "In the end, it was Li Hongzhang who came out to resolve the matter. He held the founding ceremony first and then the enthronement ceremony. However, all Li Zhenhua did was make one request, that is, everything should be kept simple and not too complicated, which would be useless. On the 10th, Almost all the countries are in Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russia, Romania, the Czech Republic, etc., and in Asia, Japan, North Korea, Sulfur Ball, Annan, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Sikkim and other West Asian countries. Many African countries including Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and Turkey also came, and many American countries, such as the United States, Brazil, and Chile, sent heavyweights to congratulate them on the 15th. The team participating in the founding ceremony arrived at the square early. They arranged the team at the address agreed in advance. The soldiers of the national flag guard came out of the tower and walked across the Jinshui Bridge. They went directly to the flagpole in the square and stood at attention. At nine o'clock, Li Hongzhang came. In front of the microphone in the center of the tower, he will preside over today's founding ceremony.Hongzhang said loudly into the microphone: "The founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire begins now." Countless loudspeakers below sounded at the same time, spreading Li Hongzhang's excited voice to all directions. "Raise the flag and play the national anthem" As the national anthem sounds, a big red dragon flag slowly rises on the flagpole. "Invite the Emperor of the Chinese Empire to speak." Li Zhenhua's words were very simple. "The Chinese Empire was officially established today. It has been oppressed by the powers of various countries. Today, he will hold his head high and solemnly declare to the world that those days are gone forever. We More than 50 ethnic groups in China are united to build our country into the most powerful country in the world In the current complex international situation, I ask you, the military and civilians across the country, that we must unite and work together to defend the country. and work together to build our strong motherland." Li Hongzhang announced the last item, "The military parade begins now." The military band was playing marching music and was already waiting at the east of the square. The honor guard of the entire army was at the front, with a military flag waving in the wind. Behind them came various armies armed with various weapons and equipment. At the forefront was an infantry formation of the New Army. They were wearing camouflage uniforms, holding rifles, and marching with their chests raised and heads raised on Chang'an Street. Following closely behind them was a team composed of militiamen from several companies. They were introduced to everyone on the radio. In the struggle against foreign invaders, they fought bravely on the front line of defending the motherland and achieved great victory. Chapter 451 Founding Ceremony Chapter 451 Founding Ceremony Text Chapter 452 Founding Ceremony (2) Chapter 452 The Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China (2) Chapter 452 The Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China (2) Behind them are groups of artillery units with various types of artillery. They advance on Chang'an Street with mortars, rocket launchers, cannons and some long-range artillery. They are attacked by various types of artillery. Various cars and carriages were towed along the road, and the artillery soldiers also sat on the artillery carriages with their heads held high. At this time, the announcer excitedly said to everyone that what is coming to us now is our heroic cavalry unit. "People looked to the east and saw that the cavalry had already left. There was a group of white horses in the front, a group of black horses in the middle, and a group of red horses behind. They were marching forward in neat steps under the command of the riders. "Then there is the navy, which is amazing. Not to mention that the uniforms of the navy are the most beautiful in the world. The white upper and lower blue military uniforms make those soldiers even more powerful. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 and the Battle of Tsushima, they are a heroic team and a team that has gone through a real naval battle. The testing team. The armored vehicles are also roaring to participate in the review. The armored vehicles only have heavy machine guns and no artillery. However, the new armored vehicles now have the 75mm cannon. If there is no artillery, it will still be useful. "Female" but now we want to give foreign countries a wrong judgment that our armored vehicles do not have artillery. The commander standing on the vehicle saluted to the rostrum and the young man did not move, fully demonstrating the man's style in the air. There also appeared those airships and airplanes that had made great achievements in the battle. They flew quickly through the sky, attracting people to keep looking up into the sky. Although airplanes have appeared in the world, they are only used in wars by our Chinese Empire. People are deeply moved by this kind of military appearance. Is this still the army of an ancient and backward country? In just a few years, they have transformed from a backward country to an army equipped with advanced weapons and equipment. The foreign guests on the viewing stand. That expression is even more exciting. Is this the country where the great powers could break through the country forty years ago with a few warships and a few cannons and thousands of troops? Look at their neat phalanxes. Those countries that are more friendly to the Chinese Empire are better off. They are happy to have such a powerful partner and can sleep more securely. Those who are not particularly supportive of the Chinese Empire. Good countries need to consider their future policies towards China. Those countries that are anti-Chinese Empire need to weigh their weight. What can we do to them? What can we do against such an army? There was a parade of people, and the whole square was a sea of ??joy. The coronation ceremony of the new emperor was held in the hall of the Oriental Hotel. After a while, those people were invited to have a meal. The official who was hosting the ceremony invited Li Zhenhua to sit on a chair in the middle. It is the new set of military uniforms designed by You, with an armed belt tied around the waist. A belt is draped diagonally from the left shoulder to the right belt. A saber is placed on his right hand. Although it is said that it has gone through many masters It was specially made for him, but Li Zhenhua felt that it was just a burden and had no use at all. The only advantage was that it could be solved by sending the knife outward when surrendering to the enemy. There are not many of these in the warehouse now. Command knives? If you from France, Japan, Britain, and Russia dare to set foot on Chinese soil, you must leave your command knives to us. After Li Zhenhua sat down, the officials in charge of the ceremony invited envoys from each country to come. First, I visited those little brother countries in Asia, Annan, North Korea, Thailand, and Japan, and then they went in sequence. The ceremonial officer shouted in a long voice that Zhang Xinghua, the envoy of Annan Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire of Great China. Zhang Xinghua was wearing military uniform and raised his hand to salute Li Zhenhua. When Li Zhenhua saw his friend coming, he immediately stood up. He first raised his hand in return and then saluted Zhang Xinghua. The ceremonial officer stretched out his hand and said hurriedly, Your Majesty, just sit down without getting up. "That's not possible. This is our hero. He has been guarding southern Xinjiang for us for many years. This time he has never considered the problem." I won't let him suffer any injustice." The two talked for a while, and the chief of ceremonies reminded Li Zhenhua that there are many countries behind him. Please talk to Zhang again later. "Li Zhenhua just stopped their conversation. One by one, countries came to pay homage to the emperor. They handed the country's credentials to the bodyguard, who then handed them to Li Zhenhua's hands. Then Li Zhenhua said a few symbolic words to the emperor by a specially arranged person. They were led to the restaurant to wait for dinner. The German envoy was Prince Heydrich, the younger brother of the German Emperor Wilhelm II. One of the entourage would be the famous Paul von Hindenburg who accompanied them. Minister Massar and German Minister Haijing expressed their sincere wishes and best wishes to Li Zhenhua on behalf of the German Emperor Wilhelm II.The two countries have been able to carry out friendly cooperation for a long time. Li Zhenhua and Li Hongzhang have fully studied before, that is, they must use the Germans to contain the British and French and prevent them from uniting to attack us. This is the method Li Hongzhang has always used to "use barbarians to control barbarians." He also warmly expressed his gratitude to the Germans. The next one is the British. Now they are still the boss in the world, but they sent a delegation headed by Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Salisbury to attend the celebration of the Chinese Empire. It is not disrespecting Li Zhenhua. Out of etiquette, Li Zhenhua also pretended to be affectionate with them. The French are foreign minister Theofildel Casser. This level seems low to you. He looks down on me. I will not give you good medicine in the future. The French. The situation in Annan is completely in the hands of Li Zhenhua. But If neither side admits it, then you have no choice. But now one party cannot fall out with the Chinese. If they fall out, it will be impossible to get along with each other. First, you must first weigh whether the weight is enough. Chapter 452 The Founding Ceremony of the People¡¯s Republic of China (2) Chapter 452 The Founding Ceremony of the People¡¯s Republic of China (2) Text Chapter 453 Founding Ceremony (3) Chapter 453 The Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China (3) Chapter 453 The Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China (3) Li Zhenhua still had to say a few polite words to people like these, even some of them were spared, like those from Japan. Li Zhenhua just waved his hand and dismissed them. . After finally meeting these people, Li Zhenhua stretched himself and said to the people on the side, "I am exhausted. This emperor is not easy to be." Otherwise" He didn't say what he said next. What he said was, "Why doesn't that old fox Li Hongzhang want to be a leader? The regent Avna Abir, the envoy of the Persian Empire, did not come forward. Li Zhenhua meant that things cannot be discussed in private. Do you have to join in the fun? During the entire interview, the flashlights in the hands of the reporters standing aside were working continuously. Li Zhenhua was tired of the old-fashioned flashlights in some countries. The smell was very pungent to the nose. Although those people were farther away, they were far away. There is still some smell. When he came to the banquet hall below, everyone was waiting for him. Li Zhenhua raised his wine glass and walked into the middle and said to everyone, "Dear ladies, ladies, gentlemen, distinguished guests, we are together today. For the sake of our friendship, please" After Li Zhenhua had put the wine in his stomach, people began to take care of themselves. Li Zhenhua, the people from the Government Affairs Council, and three others toasted to the guests. Here Li Zhenhua borrowed the European method. He did not let people set the tables. It was in the form of a buffet. After the meeting, they had to dance to another song. It was all guests. Anyway, I have to make you happy today. After that, the band started playing happy music and people began to walk into the middle. Li Zhenhua started running. First he danced a song with Avna Abir, and then there were female guests from several countries who danced a few songs. Then he found an excuse and ran to a room to hide. He would not keep up with them. Staying there. The next day, newspapers from all over the world published the news of the grand military parade held after the founding of the Chinese Empire and the news of Li Zhenhua¡¯s meeting with envoys from various countries. This time, although all countries were mentally prepared, the appearance of the military parade still surprised the whole world. The various weapons and equipment on display still made people's eyes wide open. The next day, a ship review was held on the Tianjin seaside. We all took a special train to Tianjin. The "Goddess" was still docked there, but there was another one. There were several cruise ships. Everyone boarded the cruise ship. The decoration with strong Chinese characteristics amazed the dignitaries from various countries. Although the appearance was no different from other cruise ships, the details and humanized design made the Chinese people careful and meticulous. The work was revealed. The cruise ship sailed eastward in the Haihe River. The destination was Bohai Bay. People on the cruise ship experienced the customs of northern China. Although it was still early spring, there were already a lot of green on the ground. The willows on both sides were already exposed. Small pieces of green leaves appeared. The ships that had already docked in the Bohai Sea were already lined up in a welcoming queue. As a feature of the entire scene, the two airships were actually part of the Chinese fleet. From the Sino-Japanese War to the Battle of Tsushima, they all appeared in the ranks of the navy. When they saw the cruise ship appearing in front, two airships suddenly lowered two huge banners with huge words on them: Long Live the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. "The other picture is "Warmly welcome distinguished guests from all over the world." Several cruise ships serve as review ships and pass among the tall warships on both sides. Whenever they arrive at a warship, warships from various countries must salute the cruise ship with naval etiquette. Moreover, the band on the ship must play the national anthem of the Chinese Empire and their country's national anthem. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the warship must shout "Long Live" loudly to Li Zhenhua. Every foreign ship must be accompanied by a Chinese warship for review. But China's warships are all of small tonnage. Consciously let a submarine accompany the German ship. The commander of the German Pacific Fleet, Dietrich, was really interested in the submarine next to him. He asked people to take many photos of the submarine. When he turned around, he made sure to tell His Royal Highness the importance of his country. Build more submarines like this as soon as possible. Those Russian warships were sunk in their hands. Regardless of their small tonnage, they are absolute weapons in naval battles. The formation of the Chinese people for the review was very strange. They placed the warships of some small countries close by and placed the warships of the big naval countries far away. This made the big warships very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do if they were arranged like this. Of course, the last one in the queue was the British warship. This time they came with the large battleship "Indomitable". Li Zhenhua saw very clearly that the quality of those naval soldiers was that the German Navy and the British Navy had the best mental state. Other countries simply could not compare with them. But if they encounter my aircraft carrier in the future, the outcome will definitely be very exciting. The cruise ship moves forward and then turns around and stops atSome warships were inspected there. First, the destroyer accompanying the British ship began to move forward. The British ship behind it followed closely and moved toward the cruise ship in a formation undergoing review. In terms of arrangement, the British ship was ranked third. It's just that their driving distance was too close. Many of their movements were already close to the inspecting cruise ship before they had time to make any moves. After approaching the review ship, they once again paid tribute to the Emperor of the Greater China Empire and their national leaders. The sailors on the ship shouted "Long Live" to His Majesty the Emperor. Behind them were French warships and then German warships, passing in front of the inspecting cruise ship in sequence. The German ship arrived and they followed closely behind the submarine. Dietrich carefully observed the Chinese submarine. He wanted to record every tiny movement of the submarine to understand the capabilities of the Chinese submarine. If it were produced by the Germans, it would definitely be much better than the Chinese submarines. After the ship review, guests from various countries began their activities. They wanted to take this opportunity to carry out foreign affairs activities. People in the Chinese Government Affairs Council also launched a series of exchanges with various countries on issues of interest. The German Prince Heydrich first approached two Chinese decision-makers, Li Zhenhua and Li Hongzhang. This time Li Zhenhua gave the German emperor two Chinese 1899-style pistols. The two pistols were handmade and had gold decorations on the grips. It lies quietly in the box giving it a sacred feel. This can be regarded as a return gift for those two twenty-ring guns. Chapter 453 The Founding Ceremony of the People¡¯s Republic of China (3) Chapter 453 The Founding Ceremony of the People¡¯s Republic of China (3) Text Chapter 454 A large number of arms orders Chapter 454 A large arms order Chapter 454 A large arms order Prince Heydrich happily accepted the pair of pistols. He expressed his gratitude on behalf of the German Emperor Wilhelm II. After saying polite words, they soon turned the topic to both parties. After cooperation, the Germans hoped to continue to obtain new Chinese submarines because the new Chinese submarines they saw and heard were the hope for future naval battles. Li Zhenhua readily agreed to them, but Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to say something again. The thing about Qingdao is the most unhappy thing in the hearts of Chinese people. Prince Heydrich also felt that it was such a fluke to get Qingdao, so they hurriedly said to the Chinese that we are only leasing the Jiao'ao area in your country. In order to enable better cooperation between the two parties, we are willing to provide us with an island in the Pacific Ocean. Closest to China as compensation to China for allowing them to use as military bases. ¡± Seeing that the Germans are really unwilling to spit out Qingdao and currently need to establish an advanced base in the Pacific. Besides, when the war breaks out, Qingdao will still be back in the hands of those small islands in the Pacific. It all belongs to China. Now we are just giving them a loan period of more than ten years. It is worthwhile to get the islands in the Pacific for nothing, so the two sides agreed: the Germans will exchange them for a heavy cruiser. At the same time, the two sides also sent the construction drawings to each other. We were also happy to provide them with the necessary technical personnel. The Germans were happy and we also got a heavy cruiser. The specific work behind it. It¡¯s easy to let some professionals negotiate and agree on the specific things that will follow. ¡°Your Majesty, you are really smart in your calculations. You exchanged one of our outdated submarines for one. A heavy cruiser. "After sending the Germans away, Li Hongzhang said to Li Zhenhua. "Zhou Yu will beat those who are willing to be beaten. I have a way. "Li Zhenhua said and the two laughed together. "Some other countries are also interested in China's military equipment, and they have asked China to purchase weapons. Aircraft, armored vehicles, mortars, etc. This time the Chinese Empire has earned a After the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was successfully concluded, the Government Affairs Council decided to leave Sun Yuwen at home. All the leaders of the central agencies went to the grassroots to inspect the work. They were divided into six groups and went to Henan. Li Hongzhang was familiar with the former Zhili area. Zhang Zhidong went to the three provinces of Hunan and Hubei, Shandong, and Zhili. Xu Shichang went to the Northeast and the four provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and Dongfang. Sheng Xuanhuai went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. Feng Guozhang went to Guangdong and Guangxi. Liu Kunyi went Tang Jiong went to Anhui, Jiangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou. At Li Hongzhang's request, Li Hanzhang and Li Hongzao went to the northwest together. They originally had some differences due to different political opinions, but under the new situation, they became old. They have to go together. Now that Li Zhenhua is the only one left in the capital, he hastily sorted out the housework. As the regent of Persia, Avna Abir is unwilling to leave, but she has so many people at home. She had no choice but to ask for Xu Feng's presence. She was afraid that some people would be dissatisfied with him and that the British would cause some trouble. Although Li Zhenhua was a little reluctant to let her go, he had no choice but to agree to let her go. I heard that Avna Abeer was leaving. Yaqi and Wang Xin accompanied Avna Abeer as she prepared her luggage. After a while, they shed tears together and then packed it up again. At night, Avna Abeer left. She and Li Zhenhua often talked late at night because of work. The date of departure finally arrived. The regent of Persia, Avna Abir, was about to leave. This time she wanted to leave the child by land, but Li Zhenhua said to her, "You still have to leave." Let him follow you. When you have troubles, you will be happy when you see him. Besides, you can't live without him now. If you leave, you won't be used to following you. I won't worry about it. " "Besides, I will give you. You arrange for an economic expert named Zhang Jingjiang, who is a rare business wizard. If she cooperates with your work, you will definitely be able to work like a duck in water." Avna Abil happily agreed. The newly built special train at Beijing Railway Station has stopped there. The train will take the couple all the way to Ili, and then a dedicated person will escort them all the way to Tehran. Yaqi was responsible for sending her to the border of Persia. After seeing off Avna? Abir, Li Zhenhua is also preparing to go out. Wang Xin still has to deal with the economic problems. Li Zhenhua decided to go around and look around, mainly military industrial enterprises. At the same time, this is also a major issue for exporting money and must be done in person. Hold on tight. Li Zhenhua first arrived at the flight school. It is a nominal school, but its actual function is to integrate research, experiment, manufacturing, and flight.??Integrated. When Li Zhenhua got here, he first went to the scientific research center where the third-generation aircraft that has been designed has improved in speed and height. According to actual applications, a variety of uses have emerged, that is, fighter bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. The bombers here can also be used as transport aircraft. The heart of the aircraft is the engine. Currently, due to the large number of foreign orders, the engine factory is undergoing expansion. By the time of World War I, the orders will reach hundreds of aircraft. Therefore, the engine factory must be completed as soon as possible. The new aircraft was in the hangar and had already gone through the test flight stage. When they saw Li Zhenhua coming, those people immediately went to the hangar with Li Zhenhua. The new aircraft was parked there and naturally had a proud look. After taking a look, they went outside again. Several test pilots have arrived. They are going to perform a flight demonstration for His Majesty the Emperor today. The engine roars and the plane rushes forward quickly. They pull up the plane and quickly climb to an altitude of one thousand meters. They perform a series of maneuvers in the air, circling, swooping action. Feng Ru briefly introduced some data about the aircraft to Li Zhenhua. Their speed has reached the current 260 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range has reached more than 500 kilometers. The aircraft is now equipped with a heavy machine gun. The pilot only needs to press it with his finger. Press the launch button to launch. Today's aircraft are already using cam firing synchronization coordinators. They can launch attacks from behind the enemy, which will play a great role in future air battles. Chapter 454 A large number of arms orders Chapter 454 A large number of arms orders Text Chapter 455 "Miss 75" Chapter 455 "75" Chapter 455 "75" At the same time, they are also studying and manufacturing a twenty-millimeter cannon that can be used on aircraft based on Li Zhenhua's tips. However, this problem has not yet been solved. They have been conducting research and experiments in this area. . There are still many unresolved problems, and the load issue has not yet been resolved, which is also a big problem. Li Zhenhua said to them that you have done very little, but you must continue to work hard to solve all these problems, and then we will be invincible in the world. " They finally agreed to increase the area of ??the wings of the aircraft by making the wings longer. In this way, the buoyancy of the aircraft itself can be increased, but then the problem of the aircraft's engine must be considered to increase the horsepower of the engine. Now the Germans are producing a new product Li Zhenhua came out of the aviation school the next day and made many bold ideas with the technicians to see if they could produce a new aircraft. It works. The three young people, Wright and Xiao Feng Ru, admired Li Zhenhua very much. They thought he was a genius in flight design. In fact, he had only seen photos or some information of these aircraft in his previous life. For example, when viewed from the back, the tail of an airplane is just a horizontal wing and a vertical wing above it. The front is immobile to maintain stability, but the rear of them is movable. When the rear of the horizontal wing moves downward, the airflow blows the aircraft. If it wants to fly downward, if the tail wing rotates upward under the action of the airflow, the aircraft can climb upward. In the same way, when the middle tail wing swings to the right, the aircraft will turn to the right, but if it does not at that time. It would have been troublesome. When Li Zhenhua told them the situation, they all said they were pig-brained and didn't even understand such a simple truth. In fact, this was based on experience gained after many experiments. After that, Feng Yuqing came to him. He brought two pieces of information. One was about the British Boer War. In May, Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief of the British army, entered Johannesburg and occupied Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal. The announcement of the annexation of the Transvasher War was temporarily over. However, the Boer War did not end. The fierce guerrilla war did not end until the spring of 1902. Another issue was the rapid-fire artillery produced by the French. Their 75-mm caliber rapid-fire gun was further improved to make it faster-firing and the shells heavier. This is what they call the "75", which is the French 1897-caliber 75-mm rapid-fire gun. The "scam" that the French are most proud of, Li Zhenhua, France's rapid-fire cannon can be regarded as a milestone in the history of artillery development. When the Germans boasted that the new 77mm rapid-fire cannon can fire 5 kilograms of heavy shells per minute. This new type of artillery can fire 30 rounds of 2 kilogram shells per minute. With the help of the perfect long-stroke recoil system, the French 1897 rapid-fire gun can still perform perfectly even with heavier shells and a higher rate of fire. The important thing is that although the rate of fire is so fast and the recoil is so violent, the entire gun will hardly move under continuous fire, so the gunner can easily adjust the firing elements between each shot to trim the impact point. They planned various activities to deceive the enemy and even deliberately falsely reported in the media that the new field artillery used a short-stroke retraction system to convince the Germans that they were using the most advanced technology in the world. But they were "here." The trick of "three hundred taels without silver" failed to deceive the Chinese intelligence personnel. They were very clear about the habits of the French. Their repeated deceptive propaganda made the Chinese intelligence personnel begin to have doubts, so they began to use this kind of artillery. The results obtained after analyzing the data surprised them. It turned out that the French had such a formation, but the Germans did it for real. So China¡¯s intelligence agencies stepped up their efforts to obtain this secret. They used an intelligence officer code-named "Fig" who was deeply hidden in the French Army Headquarters. Their operation began. One Saturday night, a group of officers went to a bar to drink. A beautiful blond girl appeared next to them. She was drinking with the officers. As a result, the officers all started drinking crazy for no reason. They started to drink together. The blonde made the officer in charge of the key to the secret room confused. In the confusion, she took out the bunch of keys and handed them to a waiter on the side. The keys soon came into the hands of Fig. He and an assistant quickly copied it. Take the key and return the original key to the officer's belt. Figuo and his assistant drove quickly to the French army's headquarters. The assistant was waiting outside. He quietly sneaked into the headquarters alone and stole the top-secret blueprint of the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" in the secret room. However, just as he came out, he was caught by the guards and was shot in the exchange of fire with the guards.If he was seriously injured, he struggled and ran outside and collapsed. The assistant came forward and saw that he was already dead. He just handed the drawing to the assistant and said the last word "quickly" and he collapsed. The assistant hurriedly drove the car. ran away. Chaos immediately broke out on the streets of Paris. The whole city began to impose martial law. The French's main targets were the Germans, but they did not let go of any suspicious objects in the city. Our intelligence station was also the target of their suspicion. They sent an excellent agent named Zhang Xiaoqiang from He slipped out of the sewer. His people came out, but the money in his hand was gone. He couldn't go to the French embassy and it was not safe to go north, so he went to the southeast after all the troubles and sneaked into Italy. Zhang Xiaoqiang suffered a lot along the way. He had to make a living, and it wasn't easy. He had to find a job, robbed, and worked as a thief. Anyway, in order to complete the task, he tried every means he could to find our embassy in Italy. But the Italian guards in front of the door refused to let him in, so he started to act crazy and ran madly inside. The guards wanted to stop him, but Zhang Xiaoqiang leaned his smelly body against the soldiers and avoided them. Chapter 455 "Miss 75" Chapter 455 "Miss 75" Text Chapter 456 "Miss 75" (2) Chapter 456 "75" (2) Chapter 456 "75" (2) Hearing the noise in front of the door, the Chinese staff in the embassy came out. He was still yelling there, but it was to the one closest to him. The Chinese winked. Those people were not vegetarians. He immediately understood that this man had something important to come in, so he said to the Italian soldiers, please, please leave this guy to me. He may be hungry. "After that, he took him to the kitchen. On the way, Zhang Xiaoqiang whispered to the Chinese staff member, please make arrangements immediately. I have to see the minister immediately. If there is an emergency, I need to report to him." The staff member understood these things and he immediately reported them to him. Zhang Xiaoqiang took him to the kitchen and arranged some food for him. He immediately went to report to the minister. When the minister heard this, he followed him into the kitchen from the back door. As soon as Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the minister, he immediately said to him: I slipped out of France in an emergency and need to return home immediately. Please help me arrange my identity. You can use your information. Contact the department or the country for verification but it must be done quickly. " Minister, he must have an important mission. Let him rest immediately. At the same time, verify his identity and tell the Italian soldiers at the door that this person is Chinese and he is here to seek protection. There is no need to trouble you. . Soon they got a reply from the French side. The people sent by this side must arrange for his return to the country immediately. He has an important task and must rush back to the country as soon as possible to ask the embassy in France to escort him back to the country. He was home, but Zhang Xiaoqiang understood that he still needed to be protected. The Italian Embassy sent capable people to protect him when he returned to China. Li Zhenhua heard Feng Yuqing tell the story and said, "These are our good brothers. They are for the benefit of the motherland." We will definitely remember them without fear of sacrificing our lives. Is there anyone else in that fig¡¯s family?¡± ¡°Your Majesty, he is one of our rebel judges. He is just an orphan.¡± Li Zhenhua left the drawing. He held it in his hand, and there seemed to be some faint blood stains on it. He stroked it with his hand for a while and said to Feng Yuqing. He immediately handed it over to the military industry and asked them to conduct trial production to see how the 75 made by the French was like. " "Yes, I will arrange trial production immediately. " Li Zhenhua picked up the switchboard and said to call Zhang Xinghua. "Zhang Xinghua, who is guarding the south, is now the Minister of General Armaments under the Ministry of Military Affairs. From now on, he will be responsible for the research, development, manufacturing, and equipping of troops of all the empire's equipment. "You need to tell him the story of this blueprint again." "That Zhang Xiaoqiang also wants to commend him. It is not easy for a person to travel thousands of kilometers in a foreign country." "Yes." Your Majesty, I will do it." "Has he been exposed? If he has been exposed, then don't let him. Arrange a suitable job for him. I will take a look at him if I have a chance." Li Zhenhua is now starting to consider using this job. Five" information came to exchange with the Germans about their aviation engines. Beijing is the political and cultural center of the Chinese Empire. As an environmental issue that needs to be considered in the future, there is no need to build too many military-industrial enterprises here. The nearest place is Tianjin, so Li Zhenhua went to Tianjin again. This time, he did not look at those related After going to school, he went straight to Tianjin. The original artillery bureau has now become an arsenal. It used to be able to only produce some artillery shells for the Beiyang Navy, but now it is producing some small-caliber artillery. For example, mortars are produced here. The current mortar caliber has been increased from the original 60 to 80 and 105. Several new models, the French "75", were also decrypted by technicians here. Several copies of the drawings have been copied, one is kept in Beijing, one is in Tianjin, and the other is already in Fengtian. The two factories are conducting trial production mainly to consider how to digest their technology as quickly as possible and then carry out rapid production. Some military equipment cannot be produced. There are too many and can only be produced when needed. ¡°Besides, this military industrial enterprise in Tianjin is not suitable here. It will definitely have to be moved to some more secluded places in the future. Like these coastal metropolises, it will be necessary to produce more light industrial products as soon as possible to make money from foreigners. The arsenal is no longer what it was in the late Qing Dynasty. Now the workers here are paramilitary and all are produced according to the establishment of the army. For example, mortars have one workshop to produce barrels, two workshops to produce shells, and three workshops to produce bases. The division of labor for sighting equipment is detailed and not chaotic. There are no idlers. Except for a few management cadres, they are engineering and technical personnel. When His Majesty the Emperor arrived, only some major leaders came out to greet most of the people who were still busy with production. Li Zhenhua just learned about the production situation and then began to ask the cadres in the factory about the research status of the "Seventh Five-Year Plan".His Majesty introduced them to the imitation situation. They said that the cannon can be manufactured in a few days. Li Zhenhua told them that they should have good data and complete records should be kept for each test. For unsuccessful tests, they should be good at summarizing experience. Lessons can only be improved by constantly summarizing them. " After finishing the work, Li Zhenhua went to the tractor manufacturing plant in Tianjin. Although tractors can be produced in some small places now, at that time it was also the most advanced machine. Now the production cost is very high. One tractor can reach a level of The price of a 10,000-yuan note, but for the rapid development of agriculture in the future, it is necessary to invest a lot quickly and develop some small tractors as soon as possible. Its emergence can free up a large number of agricultural laborers and let them go to the city to do other work. Industrial production. Our country still has a lot of land that needs agricultural people to do manual work. It would be great if they could be widely used. The current tractors are the 75-horsepower and 100-horsepower types. It is a crawler type or a wheel type, and the corresponding agricultural machinery must also be used not only for farming, but also for sowing, harvesting and transportation. Chapter 456 "Miss 75" (2) Chapter 456 "Miss 75" (2) Text Chapter 457 The King of Land Warfare Chapter 457 The King of Land War Chapter 457 The King of Land War There is a saying among farmers in the north: "If you have money, you won't be idle for half a year." That means that if you can only use a small amount of what you buy, it will not work. Li Zhenhua needs to have multiple uses. When the leaders of the factory were told the truth, they felt that His Majesty the Emperor could really think about the problems of the people. But Li Zhenhua told them that I was not just thinking about the problems for the farmers, but for you. If you invest in building the factory. But if you can't recover the cost, isn't it just putting the money aside? After hearing this, these people were very convinced. Li Zhenhua also saw the problem of crawler tractors differently from others. He also saw military uses. That is, future tanks will be tracked. As long as they pass the test on tractors and then be strengthened, they can be used as tanks. Then the original wheeled armored vehicles can be used exclusively to transport soldiers. I went to see that frigate. The workers here in Tianjin are relatively mature in technology. They are also from the Westernization faction of the Qing Dynasty. Some of the workers at that time used to work for the old bureaucrats and now they are working for the new China. The new emperor is working with great enthusiasm, and they are working even faster. The warship has been launched. They are doing some work on the superstructure. Three 150 mm caliber cannons have been installed. Those thirty-seven cannons are being installed. A millimeter-caliber high-level dual-purpose machine gun, four torpedo tubes, two depth bombs on the front and rear, and two on the left and right. The throwing equipment for depth charges has also been installed. One is launched by rockets and the other is launched by mortars. It depends on their actual application effect. They are also equipped with radio stations. Although the power of the radio stations is not a big breakthrough, the frigate is together with the aircraft carrier. Generally, the distance between them is not too far, and the power is smaller. No problem. But relatively speaking, their size is much smaller now, so it won¡¯t be a problem to install them on warships. It is estimated that they will be completed in a month and they will be able to sail in formation with other warships. Submarines Nowadays, new and improved models of submarines have been released. The main reason is that they have been equipped with sonar. Sonar soldiers have begun to explore. They have begun to distinguish all sounds. After they go to sea, they stop on the channel. Conduct listening training on passing warships and civilian ships and then compare it with the periscope to see the error. Although this training method is a bit clumsy, the sonar soldiers have also summed up some experience after a period of training. They can already distinguish warships. After they came out, because of the high power and speed of the warship, the determination of the direction began to be accurate. Tang Jieshu received His Majesty the Emperor at the heavy industry base in Fengtian. They were all old acquaintances. Tang Jieshu and Li Zhenhua were not polite and introduced them to Li Zhenhua as soon as they came. The heavy industry system has been basically completed. This is something that Li Zhenhua and Xu Shichang had agreed to long ago. Gao Xiang also agreed that the Northeast region should be built into a heavy industry base in our country. Large-scale various machinery should be produced here. The resources in the Northeast are very rich. It is a prerequisite that all raw materials can be processed locally. Some of the urgent needs in the country are now included in the plan here. Steel plates for ships, steel plates for automobiles, and steel for various machines and equipment are already available here. Large-scale machinery and equipment can also be produced here in the future. In the future, automobile factories, aircraft manufacturing plants, and petroleum equipment factories will be built here (there are two major oil bases in the Northeast, Daqing and Liaohe, but investment has not yet started in these two places. Li Zhenhua means to invest in Persian oil first. After mining, it turns out that there is oil "underfoot") The newly built railway factory has begun to take shape. Tang Jieshu led Li Zhenhua there to see that the huge factory has already reached a certain scale and has begun preliminary production of future locomotives. There is no need to use imported ones. In recent years, those foreigners have made a lot of money from locomotives alone. Warships can already be manufactured, and these civilian ones can also be manufactured. Li Zhenhua told them that the high-horsepower diesel engines that would be produced in the future would be used for traction of trains, so that they could run at high speeds and at the same time greatly reduce the emission of thick smoke. This gave the technicians in the factory a new idea in their minds. . The main problem with internal combustion engines is that high-horsepower diesel engines will definitely come out of China's factories in the future. Another thing Li Zhenhua is concerned about is the issue of armored vehicles. After arriving here, he must visit the armored vehicle factory near Anshan Iron and Steel. The armored vehicles designed at the beginning were all wheeled, and later they could only be used as personnel carriers. Now it's okay to deal with countries that don't have armored vehicles. But once tanks appeared in Britain, France and Germany after World War I, we needed weapons to deal with them, so we have to have tanks now. The tank has the title of "King of Land Warfare". It has powerful direct firepower and high-intensity off-road capabilities.With strong armor protection capabilities, it mainly performs the task of confronting enemy armored vehicles. It can also suppress the opponent's firepower, destroy anti-tank weapons, destroy enemy fortifications, fixed firepower points, and annihilate the enemy's effective forces. The tank that just came out during World War I was produced by the British. Its name was also used to keep it secret. They thought it looked like a water tank, so they called it a water tank. The English water tank is "tank". Their initial Mark I tanks were divided into male and female tanks. The male tank was equipped with artillery, while the female tank had no artillery. At this time, the weight of the tank had reached more than 27 tons. An idea of ??the British Swinton led to the birth of tanks. As soon as they were put into battle, they caused the Germans to suffer a big loss, mainly because the German infantry weapons had no way to deal with them. The British Mark I tank has a huge body with a rhombus-shaped appearance. It has an overhead tracked tail mounted on the rear and a pair of steering tail wheels. The thickness of the armor is six to twelve centimeters. The maximum speed is six kilometers per hour. The total combat weight of the "male" is two It weighs more than 18 tons and is equipped with two 57mm cannons and four machine guns. The "female" is equipped with five machine guns and has a total combat weight of 27 tons. It is specially used to deal with enemy infantry. Chapter 457 The King of Land War Chapter 457 The King of Land War Text Chapter 458 Male Tank Chapter 458 Male Tank Chapter 458 Male Tank Originally, the armored vehicles used to deal with the Russians could only be considered female. Now they have to create male tanks specifically to deal with British tanks. At the beginning, their tanks were only It may be that the bullets used to defend heavy machine guns have no ability to defend against artillery fire. Now what they are asked to design in the factory is a real tank that can resist artillery fire. The protective armor must be able to withstand artillery shells under 50 mm. Now, this is a heavy tank, equivalent to the T34 of the former Soviet Union during World War II. type. The T34 has a total weight of 32 tons, a crew of five, a 76.2 gun, two 7.62 mm machine guns, a width of 2.92 meters, a height of 2.39 meters, a water-cooled diesel engine of 300 73 kilowatts, maximum speed of 55 kilometers, maximum range of 400 kilometers, obstacle crossing height of 0.75 meters, trench width of 2.49 meters, armor thickness of 60 millimeters. There is no need for a tank of this strength now. Then you can simplify it and reduce its weight. Then make its armor thinner and use ten to thirty millimeters. For the artillery, use the thirty-seven millimeters currently in use. Cannon. The diesel engine can also be smaller and use 200 horsepower. In this way, the tank will be much smaller. The crew is still five people, one 37-gun and one machine gun. The weight is 12 tons. Its top speed can reach more than 40 kilometers. Having traveled more than 380 kilometers, it would have been invincible if it had appeared in the Battle of the Somme. By the time of World War I, the Chinese Empire would have made a lot of money by selling a large number of tanks to both sides. However, the tanks left behind had to be able to easily destroy the trash they sold. If the tanks they sold were the same as theirs, then that would be fine. Wouldn't it just be a beating if he was broken? What Americans did during World War I and World War II is the best teacher. Now that we have done this, can Americans still make money so easily? Don't even think about it. There is no way. The one used is stronger than theirs. In addition, with the telegraph communication system, it is still the most advanced armor. The appearance also needs to be different. The ones sold are angular and straight, while the ones sold are made into bevels. It can better defend against cannonballs. As long as it is not directly hit at an angle, the cannonballs will slide away from the surface. In addition, the artillery factory in Fengtian has started trial production for the "Seventh Five-Year Plan". They have been conducting it for several days. The re-entry system has not yet been finalized and will be out soon. They asked His Majesty the Emperor to wait for two more days and they will produce it. Li Zhenhua smiled and agreed to them, and the special train headed for Lushun again. It was time to take a look at the aircraft carrier there. As soon as he entered the factory area, Li Zhenhua saw the big ship docked on the shore. It was more than 190 meters long and nearly 30 meters wide. Because it was renovated much faster than newly built. The trial voyage can be carried out in two days. Zhang Peilun and Wei Han said to Li Zhenhua, Your Majesty, you will definitely be interested in its maiden voyage this time. " "How? How does it feel? " "Everything is going according to the original design. We have also notified their people over at the aviation force. Their people are now on top. Does Your Majesty want to go up there to take a look? "Don't skip the word. "Okay, I was just thinking of going up there to take a look. "A group of people arrived on the deck of the aircraft carrier. Gao Xiang and some pilots saw the Emperor coming. They ran away and saluted Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua returned the salute. Li Zhenhua asked kindly, "How do you do? Do you have any ideas after seeing it?" "Your Majesty, we all It looks like there is no problem taking off and landing on it," said a pilot. "No, we can't just look at the fixed ones. Later, it will take off and land in action. Our training must be done step by step. We must not be greedy and pay attention to safety and avoid accidents. It is not easy for us to train a pilot." Li Zhenhua kindly told them said. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will proceed step by step. The world's first real naval aviation force will appear in the world." "Okay, then make arrangements and I will watch you take off and land on a fixed mothership. "Li Zhenhua asked Wei Han again, is it okay for these two days? "Don't skip the word. "Okay. If there's no problem, let me take a look." He calculated it and then said to Li Zhenhua, Your Majesty, let's do it the day after tomorrow. The work here has been basically completed." "Are the people from the navy also here?" Don't skip the words. "People from the navy have also arrived and they are currently doing internal cleaning work." "That means everything is ready. Then we will have my first performance the day after tomorrow. You must pay attention to safety." "Yes" Everyone dispersed. Li Zhenhua, Zhang Peilun and Wei Han went to see the cruiser that was being built. Another process is being carried out nervously on another slipway.?The construction project of a cruiser. This is also the largest warship ever built. It is also making technical preparations for the construction of an aircraft carrier. They have now changed the traditional riveting technology to a welding process. This can reduce the weight of the warship and increase the durability of the warship. speed. It is not yet possible to carry out non-destructive testing of welds. We can only rely on the skills of welders and a small hammer in their hands to ensure that they have carried out such operations many times on some cargo ships. The technology can completely pass the test, making China's Cargo ships have become highly competitive internationally and a large number of cargo ships have been exported. Since the workers say it is possible, they must boldly test it, but if it is not possible, it can be done in future sea trials. Anyway, in the future, warships and cargo ships in the world will not use riveting, but will all use welding processes. So for the same warship, we can be faster than others and save fuel. It has a longer cruising distance than others and there are so many advantages here, so we must dare to take the lead in eating this crab. Li Zhenhua said to Zhang Peilun that he should praise these workers who dare to practice. If they succeed, they should be given heavy rewards. They have made significant contributions to China's military industry and shipbuilding industry. "Wei Han said he would do as he was told. Chapter 458 Male Tank Chapter 458 Male Tank Text Chapter 459 The first aircraft carrier captain Sa Zhenbing Chapter 459: The First Aircraft Carrier Captain Sa Zhenbing Chapter 459: The First Aircraft Carrier Captain Sa Zhenbing For His Majesty the Emperor to visit the workers in person, it greatly stimulated the workers' motivation. If it were not the case that the Emperor came in person, he would be of a higher rank. Some officials did not even come up on the slipway, but Li Zhenhua saw in a TV series that the Japanese naval commander, Admiral Ito Yuhiro, was actually working on the warship in person with tools in hand during the construction of the warship. We did it. Senior military officers can't do that. At the same time, he also inspected the Beiyang Navy on behalf of Emperor Guangxu. It was actually the great eunuch Li Lianying. They also have a photo preserved. The main gun of the warship is 280mm. If such shells are hit on battleships, the effect will be less, but if they are hit on ordinary cruisers, the effect will be much better. However, we do not use cruisers to fight the opponent's battleships, but let them perform the task of protecting the aircraft carriers. We use those naval aviation to attack the enemy's battleships. This is also our combat method. If we encounter the enemy's battleships, our speed will be You can throw them away completely. Considering the way they will fight in the future, their secondary guns have been reduced, but their air defense capabilities have been greatly enhanced. Those 150mm anti-aircraft guns and 37mm high-level dual-purpose cannons are usually placed flat. This makes Some foreign navies who have seen them think that there is something wrong with the Chinese people's brains. Isn't it a waste of time to deal with such small secondary guns against warships? Isn¡¯t that tickling the warship? You see, what should I do if it is your matter? That is what you said, and I will do it as yours. In the evening, people from the Navy such as Deng Shichang and Sa Zhenbing also came. Li Zhenhua was very happy to see them and told them that he would watch the first takeoff and landing of an aircraft on an aircraft carrier the day after tomorrow. Deng Shi said that he had already done this and he would definitely do it when the time came. Participated. The last time he used a plane to attack a warship, it made him angry. Now that the aircraft carrier has come out, is he unhappy? He also wants to go to the aircraft carrier to see how those aircraft land on the aircraft carrier and then conduct training on it. From the beginning, the officers of the two forces will conduct joint training together. The first step is to select an outstanding officer as the captain of this aircraft carrier. When Li Zhenhua mentioned this, Deng Shichang immediately said that he meant to let Sa Zhenbing be the first captain first, and Sa Zhenbing had already started some necessary work. Li Zhenhua's method for later generations is to use officers who have been pilots to serve as captains of this aircraft carrier. But now the time is not ripe, so let's use Sa Zhenbing first. You can also wait for those outstanding pilots to grow up and then use them. But now this training ship only uses a deputy commander as the captain, which is a bit overqualified, but fortunately it is temporary, so let¡¯s do it like this first, and then pair him with two deputy captains. One is the most senior one. A good pilot, Gao Xiang, is the best mate in the fleet, Liu Haiqing. The division of labor between the two deputies is very clear, that is, Gao Xiang is in charge of aviation and Liu Haiqing is in charge of navigation and navy. Li Zhenhua explained to them the combat methods of the aircraft carrier battle group in detail. Li Zhenhua first said to Sa Zhenbing, if this aircraft carrier needs to carry out a combat mission, which warships will form a combat group now? " Sa Zhenbing is also a top student who has returned from overseas. He has been a teacher at the Naval Academy in Tianjin and has actually fought in naval battles in the combat force. He can be said to be an all-rounder in the navy. Sa Zhenbing immediately said that because of the overall combat of aircraft carriers, If it is weak, we need to equip it with a stronger fleet combination, equip it with two cruisers, two destroyers, two frigates, three to four submarines, and if it is far away, there will also be a supply ship and a hospital ship. "Li Zhenhua and Wei. The deputy commander of the navy who laughed immediately, it was really not for nothing. He basically formed a formation of the navy. If such a fleet goes out, the safety of the aircraft carrier can be guaranteed. If it encounters a large warship Those planes can then take off to deal with them. The formation that encounters some small fish and shrimps can completely take care of them. Seeing that Sa Zhenbing was able to arrange Li Zhenhua in this way, let's not say anything. If they are not their opponents in terms of maritime combat, let them watch. They will definitely handle it better. The next day the weather was very windy and sunny. People in the navy, air force, and shipyards all started to make preparations. Deng Shichang dispatched a large number of officers to the aircraft carrier to train the grassroots sailors. Because this is the number one in the world, we can't let it go any further. The air force sent was a flying brigade, which is the best flying brigade in the entire army. In the world now, they are the only ones with real combat experience, and only they have actually attacked warships. Now they have entered the navy and become a member of the navy, and their purpose is to destroy more warships. Now two completely different forces have come together. As soon as Gao Xiang arrived, he was immediately attracted by Deng.Chang was appointed deputy captain. Gao Xiang was embarrassed and said to Commander Deng Shichang that he wanted me to be the deputy captain of this aircraft carrier. I don¡¯t know anything about the navy. "Deng Shichang immediately said, you kid, please remember this. This is the order of His Majesty the Emperor himself. Don't mess things up for me." When Gao Xiang heard this, he immediately said that this was the emperor's greatest trust, so he immediately Deng Shichang said, "I will never betray His Majesty the Emperor's trust." " Deng Shichang smiled with satisfaction. "Everything is ready. The deck of the entire aircraft carrier is clean. Its deck and flight runway are not just two lines painted with paint on the flight runway to mark the runway. Gao Xiang and theirs. The pilots have already looked carefully. They once carefully looked at every meter of the runway. They thought it was much better than their original runway. Now they are waiting for orders at the airport. Today's weather is very good. In the words of pilots, it is very suitable for flying. There is a cloth bag indicating the wind direction hanging on the high tower of the aircraft carrier. There are several bright colors of red, green, blue and white on it. Now there is basically no wind. The bag hangs Chapter 459 The First Aircraft Carrier Captain Sa Zhenbing Chapter 459 The First Aircraft Carrier Captain Sa Zhenbing Text Chapter 460 Taking off and landing on the deck for the first time Chapter 460 The first take-off and landing on the deck Chapter 460 The first take-off and landing on the deck There is no one else on the flight runway on the deck. There is only one air force soldier holding a small red and green flag. His mission is to land the plane. Guiding the aircraft parking position. The only people standing on the tower now are Li Zhenhua, Zhang Peilun, director of Lushun Shipyard, Wei Han, chief designer of the navy, Deng Shichang, commander of the navy, Sa Zhenbing, deputy commander and aircraft carrier captain, and the officers of the navy and aviation force. I was in a nervous and excited mood. After looking at it, everything was ready. Deng Shichang said to Sa Zhenbing, let¡¯s start. Sa Zhenbing immediately said loudly in front of the wireless microphone, start taking off. Sa Zhenbing¡¯s order was transmitted to the shutdown of Jinzhou Airport. Two green flares were immediately fired from the control tower on Pingshang. The two flares rose in the air and then slowly landed. The group of planes that had been waiting for a long time immediately roared. The high-flying plane was at the front. His plane was fast. The ground increased the speed and he released the brakes. The plane rushed forward quickly. Gao Xiang saw that the speed had reached the take-off speed. He pulled the joystick and the plane left the ground and began to climb. The planes behind also took off and formed a formation. After that, they started Fly towards the military port. ¡°Report Captain, the aircraft group is flying towards our ship.¡± The lookout standing at the highest point reported loudly to Captain Sa Zhenbing. The telescope in his hand has a high power. Besides, can't you stand high and see far? Soon, the telescopes in the hands of those officers were gone. The planes were flying towards here at high speed. They are getting closer and closer, and you can already see them with your eyes. People on the aircraft carrier are starting to get nervous. Although they have told many meetings how to deal with it, people are still nervous in their hearts. Gao Xiang used hand signals to tell his pilots to pay attention to his movements, and then descended one after another. The wingmen he led rushed directly towards the tail of the aircraft carrier below. Gao Xiang first reduced the throttle, then pointed the nose of the plane towards the runway below and began to land. Gao Xiang landed smoothly. The plane rushed forward seven or eighty meters and stopped. The soldier holding the red and green flags guided the aircraft into his parking position. A series of beautiful movements brought the plane to a clean stop without any sloppiness. After Gao Xiang came down, he ran towards the tower where he wanted to watch the pilots continue to land. After all, this was the first time. The wingman behind him also came down and his movements were completely qualified. The planes behind him landed one after another. Only one plane deviated from the runway, but he also entered the parking position smoothly. The mechanics immediately rushed to the plane to inspect the plane to ensure that the plane could fly on time next time. At this time, Li Zhenhua and everyone were completely relaxed. Gao Xiang was also like everyone else. It was not easy to train for such a long time. They all landed successfully in one go. Li Zhenhua left and shook hands with Gao Xiang cordially to congratulate him. The senior military officers also congratulated Gao Xiang. Gao Xiang saluted the leaders and said, "We are going to take off from the aircraft carrier. Please approve it." Sa Zhenbing said, "It's okay to start." Gao Xiang came down from the tower and arrived at the plane again. He said to everyone, "Brothers, everyone is ready to take off. Everyone must concentrate." Spirit: Our Emperor and the leaders of the navy are watching us. We must not let people say that we are fools. We must not embarrass ourselves in front of His Majesty the Emperor. "Gao Xiang looked again at the pilot who had just left the runway and said to him? Is there any problem with the plane?" The pilot immediately replied and reported to the captain that there is no problem. I was a little nervous just now, but now I am not nervous anymore. " "That's good, we'll get ready to take off immediately. Everyone pay attention to my movements and take off and land in order. "The front part of the aircraft carrier is tilted up at an angle of about fifteen degrees, which makes it easier for aircraft to take off and land. Now the high-flying aircraft is parked about seventy meters away from the edge of the aircraft carrier's front deck. All the aircraft behind it have pressed their buttons. The order was parked. Gao Xiang was still the first in line to take off. After making all preparations, he raised his hand to the tower to indicate that he could take off. Two green flares were raised on the tower. The soldier in front of him who was responsible for guiding raised the green in his hand. The small flag Gao Xiang started the machine and the plane roared forward. When it reached the edge of the aircraft carrier, Gao Xiang pulled the joystick and the plane took off. He immediately climbed up quickly. He wanted to seize the commanding heights in the air to cover the formation takeoff. This cannot be done according to actual combat requirements. It was a bit sloppy. The planes flew up one after another. They quickly formed a formation in the air and circled over the aircraft carrier for a week. They quickly completed the flight formation and then Gao Xiang began to descend. This time, he was familiar with the landing. All the officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier applauded and congratulated them without any deviation.After taking a breath, the next step is to conduct sea trials. The warship must be able to withstand the baptism of the sea and let the strong winds and waves test it. At the same time, the pilots must further become familiar with the sea. Now they are taking off and swarming without wind. But in It can't be all calm during the battle. What if they may encounter quite bad weather? Isn't there going to be a war? The answer is yes that is absolutely impossible. Sa Zhenbing made a decision immediately. He asked everyone to go now. He will conduct sea trials and also carry out the aircraft storage operation. In the future, there will be training for the entire fleet formation, and he has too many things to do. He must hurry up and make the aircraft carrier battle group possess combat effectiveness as soon as possible so that it can mobilize and win when needed. Li Zhenhua smiled and said, "Commander Sa has given the eviction order. Let's go. Don't make the master unhappy." "Everyone got down together and the huge aircraft carrier began to sail into the distance. Zhang Peilun and Wei Han invited Li Zhenhua and Deng Shichang to his design office to take a look at the drawings of the new aircraft carrier. Li Zhenhua originally wanted this modified aircraft carrier to be used as a training But seeing its perfect condition today, I feel a little bit unbearable. Now that it can completely appear as a combat ship, we have to wait until then. Chapter 460: Taking off and landing on the deck for the first time. Chapter 460 Taking off and landing on the deck for the first time Text Chapter 461 Sakhalin Island Chapter 461 Sakhalin Island Chapter 461 Sakhalin Island Several people came to Wei Han¡¯s design office. Wei Han took out the drawings of the aircraft carrier. He gave some data and made a detailed report to Li Zhenhua and the senior military officers. Li Zhenhua looked at the design drawings carefully and was very satisfied with Wei Han's work. He said to Wei Han that even if we pass this drawing, the future construction work will fall on Director Zhang. This is our first ship. Aircraft carrier We have already conducted preliminary experiments on that training ship. Now you can continue to complete this real aircraft carrier. ¡°Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will complete the task and will never embarrass Your Majesty.¡± ¡°I am secondary. The main thing is that we have to explain to this country. And you are all older. You must pay attention to your health. People are the most important to us. If warships cause fatigue and make people collapse, then we will have no way to build other warships. " Zhang Peilun and Wei Han were very grateful for His Majesty's concern. They said that they must build a good warship and at the same time protect their bodies so that His Majesty the Emperor will not always worry about his body. " Li Zhenhua said to Zhang Peilun, don't have any ideological pressure. You have already done a lot. Okay, but since what you built is our secret weapon, it is not convenient for us to praise you in a big way, but this is well known in my heart. Everyone who has made outstanding contributions to the country and people, our country will not Forget them." Li Zhenhua decided to go to Sakhalin Island to see the land he had retaken with his own hands, so he talked to Deng Shichang and asked him to send a warship. There is no problem in sending warships, but as an emperor, is it inappropriate to go to such a far place? Deng Shichang felt a little uneasy, so he said to Li Zhenhua, Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for you to go to Sakhalin Island? Firstly, it is too far away and you will not be able to catch up if something happens in the country. Secondly, the safety and security work is also a problem. " "Don't worry if there is no problem. Firstly, I want to go to Sakhalin Island. Secondly, I want to go to the original Hokkaido, Japan. This is work and can't delay what you are worried about. It's not a problem. If something happens in the country, I can do it quickly. Secondly, it's safe. No problem at all. " Seeing that they had no choice but to arrange warships to protect His Majesty the Emperor, they sent two cruisers and two submarines to accompany him so that they would not be afraid of anything happening. Moreover, this waterway now has other people's warships just like at home. Isn't that right? It is possible that only manual labor warships will appear near Vladivostok, but the Russian warships do not dare to do anything with them. Besides, they are busy evacuating our Vladivostok and they will not take the initiative against us. The generals there have long been defeated. Besides, they don¡¯t have big warships at all. Even if they do, we are not afraid of them at all. Li Zhenhua is a landlubber. He has never been on a warship at sea. He only took a warship before the Sino-Japanese War. This time, he was accompanied. The captains of the two ships "Dongshan" and "Huashan" were Ma Jifen and Qiao Yong. Li Zhenhua boarded Ma Jifen's "Dongshan" and Qiao Yong also took the two submarines behind them, "Qian 21" and "Qian 20". "No. 6" is being towed away in order to save fuel because of their slower speed. Ma Jifen, who has long been a Chinese citizen, respects his savior very much. He and Zhang Xiaomei would have died if His Majesty the Emperor hadn't just had a headache. Now it seems that the person who killed him was escorting His Majesty the Emperor to Sakhalin Island. He was very happy. He first saluted His Majesty the Emperor in a polite manner and then asked for some instructions. But Li Zhenhua said to him that everyone is old, so you don¡¯t need so many etiquettes. On this sea, you should just pretend that I am not on the warship." "That's not okay. His Majesty the Emperor is on my warship. That is the honor of all our crew members. All our officers and soldiers will definitely cherish this voyage. " After a few days of travel, Li Zhenhua arrived at Sakhalin Island. Liu Mingchuan had already received the news. He was already waiting at the port. Liu Mingchuan looked a little older because he had been away for many years. This made Li Zhenhua a little heartbroken. But the work here has just begun and cannot be separated from such a thing. A leader who is a man of action, so he cannot be allowed to do so now and has to work hard for a few years. Liu Aluminum Chuan has done a great job in building Taiwan during his several years in Taiwan. If he had been allowed to stay here for a few years, a new look would have appeared here. On the way to Liu Mingchuan's provincial government, Liu Mingchuan began to report to Li Zhenhua. First, the construction of railways will be started to stimulate the economy of the entire province. Secondly, the production of liquor is also very important. The development of mines will be able to stimulate the economy of the entire Sakhalin Island. The north-south direction of Sakhalin is very long, but its direction is very narrow. According to the terrain conditions here, we should first build a north-south railway and start investigating and mining the mineral resources here, which are mainly coal mines and iron ores. There are also some gold deposits. It turns out that here?The relatively small number are mainly the original Ainu people. Some Russians, and a small amount of Chinese. Building the railway requires a lot of human resources. Now they have recruited some workers from Hokkaido and added more people. Now the construction has finally started and it is estimated that it will not be completed until three years. It turns out that the people here mainly rely on agriculture, and some people who rely on fishery production turn out to be quite backward, and their living standards are very low. Now some of the dried fish and sun-dried seafood they produce have begun to be shipped to the mainland of our country. Nowadays, the lives of workers participating in the construction of railways have been greatly improved. After the completion of the railway construction and the mining of iron ore and coal mines, the income from sea transportation can increase the income as long as the products are transported to the country, and the people's lives can also be improved. Now that these situations have been told to people, people have it. There is a certain amount of enthusiasm, but it is not enough. It would be great if we need to further expand the publicity so that everyone can participate. Li Zhenhua and Liu Mingchuan were a man of action and did not say much about his bright future, but Li Zhenhua told him that he should also consider the possibility of transporting those minerals to the west. Our place is also quite backward now, and people's lives are also quite difficult, but here we are. Once you become wealthy, you can help many people become wealthy together. Chapter 461 Sakhalin Island Chapter 461 Sakhalin Island Text Chapter 462 Heading to Hokkaido Chapter 462 Heading to Hokkaido Chapter 462 Heading to Hokkaido The west coast of the strait is also our place now, but we can¡¯t think about adding some areas to the west to the scope of Sakhalin. Anyway, by winter, it will be connected. It's impossible to tell the difference between a continent and an island. With a man of action like you here, we should have great prospects for development. It turns out that Liu Mingchuan proposed in his early years that Taiwan be placed under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang to facilitate unified military operations and to manage and support Taiwan's military and economy. However, he never received support from the original Qing government. Now Li Zhenhua's idea to raise this issue is also based on Economic and military considerations. Liu Mingchuan thought about it and immediately expressed his opinion. This method will definitely drive the development of the middle area as long as the east side begins to develop and the original Liaoning area is included. So the two of them had a preliminary discussion here and made a preliminary draft. They could then discuss it with the people in the Government Affairs Council before finalizing it. After staying on Sakhalin Island for two days, Li Zhenhua asked Liu Mingchuan to go to Hokkaido with him. Originally, this place was called Ezo. Later, because Japan occupied the place, it was renamed Hokkaido. However, the people here are not satisfied with Japanese rule. This often happens. Since Japan's defeat, people's resistance has become more frequent, and there have been some calls for demands. The purpose of their coming here today is to stop drinking. They want to make this place a place for the future, or to make it a dragon. under the flag. The warships entered Jhahuang and Liu Alchuan visited some leaders here. Liu Alchuan proposed to export coal to them. People here thought it was very good. The winter here is very cold. Besides, Japan itself is an island country with scarce resources. As long as there is energy coming in, they are very welcome. Liu Aluminum agreed immediately and immediately signed a contract with them to provide them with coal, alcohol, steel and other items every year. Hokkaido will provide Sakhalin with a large amount of human resources. While Liu Mingchuan was negotiating with them, Li Zhenhua went to some of their local places to conduct research and understand the situation. The life of the people here is very difficult. They have to repay China's war reparations. At the same time, due to the destruction of the war, they are now unable to develop. The Japanese side can't even care about their homeland. Who is still in the mood to take care of this new place? They have already Hokkaido is regarded as a burden and the government work is basically paralyzed. Therefore, Liu Aluminum's people and their agreement were signed with the local leaders, which has nothing to do with the government. Seeing this situation, Li Zhenhua strengthened his determination to control Hokkaido. Japan has only achieved national unification due to the Meiji Restoration in recent years. If they do not pose a threat to China, the best way is to let them regress to the previous era of shogunate rule. Through the inquiries of local people, the power of the shogunate is rising again. Then we must make full use of this opportunity to completely beat them back to the original shogunate era. Li Zhenhua said to the intelligence adviser around him that he would contact the Japanese side later to see how much they knew about the situation of the Japanese shogunate and tell me immediately. " "Your Majesty, I will contact you immediately. "Intelligence staff officer Bian Xiaolong replied. "Li Zhenhua didn't want to read any more. Such a big seaport city might as well be a small town. After just a few steps, there was no formal road, not even a place to eat or rest. There was no place for Li Zhenhua, so he returned to the warship. When Ma Jifen saw Li Zhenhua, he immediately greeted him and left for a while. Isn¡¯t there a good place? "You didn't go, but you would have regretted it if you went, haven't you, Governor Liu?" Don't skip the word. "It should be smoother without him. If not, he would have been there long ago." "Then I will wait for him." After saying that, Li Zhenhua returned to the room. In the evening, Liu Mingchuan saw his expression and realized that he had gained a lot. Sure enough, before Li Zhenhua asked him, he had already said, Your Majesty, your trip is really worthwhile. They are in urgent need of a large amount of coal, liquor, steel and daily necessities. The economy of our Eastern Province Now that we are alive, we no longer have to rely entirely on state support. They can provide us with a large amount of labor. I have signed a contract with them. " "That's great, but their country is too poor. We can't make much money. We can only increase our construction labor force. But there is also a political problem that we did not expect. " "? " "That is the huge influence of our Chinese Empire in Japan. Liu Mingchuan is not a mediocre person. He was originally a Confucian general in the Huai Army and a capable official under Li Hongzhang. In Taiwan, he changed the face of the backward areas of Taiwan in a few years. He is a knowledgeable and thoughtful person. At this time, he immediately realized What Li Zhenhua said?"Huge influence" yes. After those people who come to China to work get used to the life in China, who would want to go back to the original poor and backward Hokkaido? So we can't feel sad that the little money of wages gave some money to their leaders and at the same time to the workers. They are silver. Those people don¡¯t talk about the Chinese Empire every day. This is the best political propaganda artifact. They were organized at first, and they will become spontaneous in the future. At the same time, we gave them coal. Those who use coal will not say anything bad about us. Li Zhenhua teleported Liu Ming. At the same time, Li Zhenhua said to Liu Ming that the seaport here needs to be strengthened. The original Russians did not invest too much money here. We are different. In the future, we must build our country well. This port must be Built. " "What Your Majesty said is that I will also pay attention to the construction here in the future to further expand and build the port to facilitate our transportation. It turns out that I have somewhat neglected this place. " "This is not entirely your problem. The main thing is that our investment here is still too little. When our country becomes rich and powerful, we will make large-scale investments here. We need to build a bridge or an undersea tunnel here to connect Sakhalin Island to the entire mainland so that it will no longer be an isolated island. Then it will be more convenient for our economic construction. ¡± Chapter 462 Heading to Hokkaido Chapter 462 Heading to Hokkaido Text Chapter 463 Air Defense Training Chapter 463 Air Defense Training Chapter 463 Air Defense Training "That's great. I'm looking forward to that day." Liu Mingchuan said excitedly. "Then it's up to you. We can only help from the side, but you are the main one." "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will use all my strength to get things done in the East. Next time your Majesty comes, We will strive to let you see a bridge or a tunnel, and our province will definitely keep up with the pace of the country's progress." "Okay, then I will leave everything here to you. At the same time, I also ask you to pay more attention to your health. Only when you are in good health can you work well. " Li Zhenhua thought that if the aircraft carrier came here for training, it would be a natural hiding place and there would be many places around it. Then he would need to build a huge one here. The port is fine, but it will freeze here in the winter, so I have to go back to the south. Let's leave it here first. When Li Zhenhua and his party passed by Tsushima, they also went there to take a look. There were still not many residents on the island, mainly some military facilities. The soldiers were very happy to see the emperor coming. On a small island like Li Zhenhua, the soldiers were very lonely on it. The arrival can be regarded as a encouragement to people. After entering the Bohai Sea, they met a new warship head-on. Its slender hull made people feel comfortable at first sight. This was a warship that they had never seen before. As soon as Ma Jifen saw it, he immediately asked the signal soldiers to send them a signal to inquire about the other side. As soon as they saw the cruiser "Dongshan", they immediately slowed down and approached slowly, and immediately reported to them with a signal: It turned out that this was a frigate produced in Tianjin. It does not have a name yet. Judging from its speed, it is very fast. The weapons on the warship are also so diverse that it is difficult to tell them apart. The emperor is on the warship opposite. They immediately fired a salute to the "Dongshan" to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor. Li Zhenhua asked Ma Jifen to send a signal to the captain on the opposite side to ask about their situation. Soon, they dropped a small boat on the opposite warship. The captain was a young officer less than thirty years old. When he got to the cruiser, he ran away. Go to the front deck to salute Li Zhenhua and Ma Jifen and then loudly report to them that the new frigate is undergoing sea trials and the temporary captain Luo Tiangang is in charge. . "Li Zhenhua immediately asked what your training subject is today?" "Report to Your Majesty: Our training subject today is anti-aircraft shooting." Ma Jifen was shocked when he heard it? Anti-aircraft shooting is a training subject that has never been done before. Ma Jifen immediately asked how do you shoot? " "The chief will have planes soon and we will shoot at their towed targets. "When Li Zhenhua heard that they were conducting shooting training and this opportunity came up, he couldn't help but look at it. So he said to Luo Tiangang, can you not be on the warship?" No skipping words. "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if I'm not around. Our vice-captain can also take command. Those shooters have been training for a while." "Okay. Then let them proceed as planned. You can observe on the cruiser and help your soldiers. If you have any questions, please be our commentator." "His Majesty asked Captain Ma to send them a signal to continue training." The signalman on the cruiser immediately issued an order to the frigate. It increased its power and left the cruiser, and then it began to circle around the cruiser. This made it easier for the cruiser to observe its shooting situation, and the frigate also played a role in protecting the cruiser. The place was ready and soon two planes appeared in the distance. The pilots in the air saw the warship and flew here. The frigate moved forward to meet it and the cruiser followed closely. The anti-aircraft weapons on the warship had already aimed all the anti-aircraft guns and machine guns at the aircraft. After they aimed at the aircraft and entered the range, the various weapons on the warship fired at the same time, forming a line in front of the towed target. The target of Fire Net and the others was a cloth bag dragged behind the plane. Li Zhenhua looked there with a telescope and saw that bullet holes had already appeared on the towed target. Another plane was flying at a low altitude. The pilot's angle was chosen incorrectly. He started to dive towards the warship at an oblique angle. Luo Tiangang, who was standing on the side, said: This pilot It's so cunning. His impact surface is much smaller, making it difficult for our shooters to hit. "In this way, the bomb impact surface of the aircraft was much smaller, which made it more difficult for the anti-aircraft firepower below. The aircraft almost flew close to the highest point of the warship, but Li Zhenhua saw that there were still bullet holes on the towed target. This proves that there are still bullet holes on the warship. The anti-aircraft firepower is still good and can hit the aircraft accurately, but it cannot shoot them down. It requires contact with the aircraft carrier. At this time, Luo Tiangang, who was standing aside, said that His Majesty's first high-altitude aircraft had been shot down.The second one was shot down and he was already injured. Next, they have another wave of flights to take. " Not long after, four more planes appeared behind. This time they adopted the two-plane tactic used in later air combats. Two planes on the left and right attacked the two warships. The two planes in front were obviously dealing with the cruisers. The firepower on the frigates was automatically divided. Their main task was to cover the warships and frigates behind them. Although the firepower on each aircraft was still very fierce, the firepower on each aircraft immediately became sparse. After the artillery fire was distributed, there were approximately six aircraft per aircraft. The firepower of the door guns was attacking it, and the six anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns also formed a fire net against them, but the firepower was obviously not as good as before. However, the soldiers on the frigate were still shooting at the aircraft with them. The towed target dived again, but this time their dive was poor. Some anti-aircraft guns could be freed to help other gun positions. Then each aircraft had more than eight anti-aircraft guns to shoot at it. After two dives, the planes stopped their attack and shook their wings towards the frigate. Only then did the soldiers who were conducting anti-aircraft shooting stop to take a breath. Li Zhenhua took a look at their training and felt that it was still okay. It has only been a few days and they can be said to have a completely new understanding of the concept of air defense. Chapter 463 Air Defense Training Chapter 463 Air Defense Training. Text Chapter 464 Rapid-fire gun replacement engine Chapter 464 Rapid-Fire Cannon Replacement Engine Chapter 464 Rapid-Fire Cannon Replacement Engine The cruiser followed closely behind the frigate and headed towards the aircraft carrier. They wanted to conduct a summary together. Li Zhenhua also followed them. He wanted to listen to the summary between them. If the situation is not summarized, there will be no improvement. This is what Li Zhenhua often said to the soldiers. I saw the huge aircraft carrier from a distance. Now they were still carrying out take-off and landing training. The planes were rolling up and down, coming up and down, and saw the frigate. At the same time, I also saw two cruisers Sasha behind. Zhenbing is one of His Majesty the Emperor's few people, but Sa Zhenbing is. They stopped training, retracted all the planes, opened the elevator and put all the planes into the cabin. At this time, the frigate and Li Zhenhua's escort fleet also arrived. The cruiser put down the speedboat. Li Zhenhua, Ma Jifen, Qiao Yong and Luo Tiangang boarded the speedboat together and arrived at the aircraft carrier Shangsa. Zhenbing had already arrived at the string staircase to greet His Majesty the Emperor. When he saw Li Zhenhua coming up, he immediately raised his hands and saluted. Li Zhenhua also saluted Sa Zhenbing in return. Everyone greeted each other and Li Zhenhua said, "Okay, I want to hear your training summary. Let the artillerymen and pilots just now." Let's talk about my participation as an observer. "The gunners and machine gunners on the frigate all came up. The six pilots took their tow targets. In order to increase the practical effect, they used a blower to blow up the tow targets. The first pilot's tow target was no longer what it looked like. The Nervous is full of bullet holes (it can't blow at all). This is the result of all the concentrated firepower of the entire ship. It seems that aircraft are easily injured at high altitudes. If it is a real aircraft, it has been shot down several times. The second pilot's condition was better, but there were also several big holes in the tow target. He was definitely shot down and the plane might have been blown up. The four pilots behind him all blew up the tow target. I saw clearly that there were shell holes in the tow target, but there were no bullet holes in the tow target of one of their squadron leaders, which meant that he was not hit. One of the pilots said: The first time I hid, but the second time I was "I'm hit." This situation shows that the probability of hitting is much higher when shooting from the air with intensive firepower. It is very difficult for a single aircraft to break through the intensive firepower. But when there are more aircraft, the anti-aircraft firepower on the warship is obviously insufficient. This is the problem between Mao and Dun. Through this confrontation training, both sides have raised questions, and then they must sum up the lessons and formulate a new combat plan. The summary of both sides is very meaningful. For the air defense fighters, it is not impossible for the pilots to fly a single aircraft into their fire net. Then they must have considerable courage and wisdom. The pilots also understand that the towed target is smaller than the size of the aircraft. They can also hit the plane. If it were a real plane, their hit rate would be higher. They all set high standards and strict requirements during training, which moved Li Zhenhua very much. They all followed strict requirements. These are all good soldiers. With these heroic warriors, is our country still afraid of those great powers? The answer is yes. After attending their summary meeting, Li Zhenhua asked Sa Zhenbing and Luo Tiangang about the situation of the frigate. According to them, this frigate is so perfect that it can deal with the enemy in all aspects, including air defense and submarine defense, especially When the submarine is working in the water, the sonar soldiers on the frigate can hear it very clearly. Now the accurate positioning of the submarine is still a bit lacking, but the direction is no problem. Through the efforts of those sonar soldiers, it will definitely make it as long as Like a pair of underwater eyes. When they have a general direction, the frigate can wait and wait. As long as they know their exact position, isn't it like "clicking on the rabbit and calling the dog to run away?" They still want to run there. Li Zhenhua said to the frigate I was very satisfied but also put forward a different opinion, that is, the technical and tactical level of the entire ship, especially the professional and technical level of the sonar troops, must be improved as soon as possible to meet the needs of actual combat. When Li Zhenhua returned to Tianjin, he received the telegram from Fengtian on July 5. "The trial production was successful. The military factory in Tianjin has also completed the trial production. The situation is very optimistic. Basically, it has reached the French design specifications. According to the workers in Tianjin, other cannons can also be improved. It is great to exchange engines with the Germans." It is now established. Then act immediately. A telegram was sent to Berlin's minister in Germany asking to see the German emperor and talk to them. The French have now made rapid-fire guns that can fire thirty rounds per minute, and their shells are heavier than the Germans. William II immediately invited their chief of staff, Count Alfred von Schlieffen. William II handed over the information given to him by the Chinese Empire into the hands of Count Alfred von Schlieffen. Count Schlieffen Looking at the sweat on my face, I thought that the French infantry artillery was lagging behind, but I didn't expect that the French had already surpassed it. The imaginary enemy was France. Isn't this a joke on the lives of soldiers? Count Alfred von Schlieffen kept thinking: This is impossible, is this possible? But the information given by the Chinese Empire was clearly placed there. He looked at the minister of the Chinese Empire and smiled: "It may not be possible. It doesn't matter, but we have now produced thirty rounds per minute. "The rapid-fire cannon and our shells are heavier than your six kilograms, reaching 7.2 kilograms." Count Alfred von Schlieffen felt a little better that the Chinese had this kind of weapon, and they wanted to sweep through France. The chief designer knows that although the effect of this advanced infantry weapon on warfare cannot exceed that of the enemy, it would be great if it can be the same as the enemy. So he looked at the Chinese minister and said to him, dear, we will definitely get your help, right? "Don't skip the word. Of course his words also meant the German Emperor. "Isn't this a trivial matter? As long as your German Empire needs us, we will definitely help you. "The Chinese Minister smiled and said frankly. Chapter 464 Rapid-fire Cannon Replacement Engine Chapter 464 Rapid-Fire Cannon Replacement Engine Text Chapter 465 Hung Yen and Oriental Provinces Chapter 465 Hung Yen and Oriental Provinces Chapter 465 Hung Yen and Oriental Provinces The faces of William II and Count Alfred von Schlieffen immediately shone with light. Incredible China. It turns out that the Chinese Empire already has this kind of weapon. As long as it is available, it will be available. It just needs to be exchanged for some technology. Rainbow Wen ihong In their minds, after some bargaining, the Germans first proposed to use marks to purchase directly, but the kind Chinese said that since we are ours, we can provide you with the drawings, but we also have to ask you to do us a favor. " Count Alfred von Schlieffen asked hurriedly, "Can you please tell me what you need now?" "We are now more interested in one of your civilian technologies, which is a gasoline engine recently produced by Daimler." It turns out that it is. The Germans were so happy. They thought the Chinese would ask other questions. But in the end, they asked for a civilian technology and they would make a lot of money. What they don't want from the Chinese is also a military technology. As a result, both parties got what they wanted and everyone was happy, and an agreement was quickly reached. The Germans got the Chinese Empire's "Seventh Five-Year Plan" sample guns and drawings, and the Chinese Empire got the gasoline engine it wanted. Both parties are happy with this result, and both parties believe that the exchange is advantageous. A month later, both sides handed over the prototype (sample gun) and drawings to the other side. Wilhelm II said to Count Alfred von Schlieffen that we must firmly control the Chinese Empire and not have any detrimental intentions to them. Meet their requirements as much as possible in all aspects. "The ministers under him all seriously agreed. "Li Zhenhua said to several people from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Now that we have the latest gasoline engines, our aircraft will have a strong heart, and the combat effectiveness of our air force will be even stronger. This requires Thank you, Wilhelm II." After Count Alfred von Schlieffen got the "Seventh Five-Year Plan", he was engaged in his "Schlieffen Plan" that shocked the world and had a huge impact on the world. This is A great plan. If his successor as chief of staff, Xiao Maoqi, had not revised his plan, it is not certain what the international situation would be like in the future. Some people were eager to report to the emperor who had been away for several months, but Li Zhenhua told them that I didn't care about the specific work and the superiors. "The people who were the bosses had no choice but to go find their superiors. Li Zhenhua just exchanged opinions with Li Hongzhang, and he decided to let Liu Mingchuan take on more of the land he had just received from Russia and give up the newly recovered earth. Liu Mingchuan should at least take more control of half of it. Liu Mingchuan turned out to be Li Hongzhang's general. He had always had great hopes for Liu Mingchuan. When Li Zhenhua proposed that some parts of the mainland be included in Sakhalin Island. Li Hongzhang, the leader of the Eastern Province, thought it would be better to transfer Sakhalin Island to the mainland and let Liu Mingchuan run on both sides. Li Zhenhua said the same thing, just let him take care of more things. He is a man of action. "Then divide the newly recovered place. Because the southern part of the northern and southern parts is under the jurisdiction of Liu Mingchuan, the name of the province should also be changed. It can't be called Sakhalin Province anyway, right? Since it is located in the easternmost part of the Chinese Empire, let¡¯s call it Eastern Province. The northern part was called Hung Yen Province, and Zhang Zuolin was put in charge of it as a general (this somewhat adapted the late Qing Dynasty's idea of ??managing all local military, political and economic affairs as a general). Take Khabarovsk as the boundary but give Khabarovsk to the north because there are fewer big cities in the north. The general system implemented in the late Qing Dynasty was mainly because the Northeast was too big and had to be protected by strong military force, so we had to do it this way. After all, Zhang Zuolin had strong military force in his hands. Li Zhenhua originally thought that Zhang Zuolin would happily agree, but he did not expect that the later Northeastern King would write a letter to the emperor saying that he was not capable enough and could not be a local official. Li Zhenhua and Li Hongzhang immediately wrote back to him saying that the matter was settled. Just learn by doing. Liu Mingchuan next to you is the teacher. If you don¡¯t understand anything, just ask Liu Mingchuan. In addition, he was told that he should study seriously and that the central government would also send him some young officials to help him with military and economic construction. This is something. Liu Mingchuan took office immediately after receiving the appointment. As long as it is good for the country, he will not refuse. As long as he is in this position, he will use all his strength to do it well. He will never stop doing it. But now that the burden is heavy, I am even more tired. When Feng Yuqing came, he first reported the situation in Russia to the emperor and the prime minister. They are now making large loans to the French and are determined to complete the Far East Railway. They have always been grudges about the Chinese Empire taking over those places. They are not reconciled to China. The empire took back the land and they were determined to build the Far Eastern Railway as soon as possible and then move to the Far East.??Transport troops and supplies anytime and anywhere to prepare to retake those lands from the Chinese Empire. Li Hongzhang smiled, then let them come. We have been waiting for them for a long time. We are afraid that they will not come. If the defeated generals under his command want to do it again, then they can only seek death. " Li Zhenhua also smiled and said, "How about the Ministry of Military Affairs? Are they aware of these situations?" "They are all aware of these situations. They have also made some preparations accordingly and are ready to counterattack their attacks." "Okay, I will contact them next. I'll have to see how they are preparing." Several senior officials from the military immediately came to Li Zhenhua to discuss with him. Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui said to Li Zhenhua: Our defense situation in the north is like this: The first is Zhang Zuolin. The original regional troops headed by Nie Qing and the Mongolian regional garrison headed by Nie Qing. With their two armies and some local armed forces, we are fully prepared for the invasion of manual labor. With the construction of the Northeast Railway, once the north With police, we can quickly send additional troops to border areas. Li Zhenhua looked at the map and asked them, how is the progress of our Northeast Railway? ¡± Chapter 465 Hung Yen and Oriental Provinces Chapter 465 Hung Yen and Oriental Provinces Text Chapter 466 Methods to Eliminate Threats Chapter 466 Methods to Eliminate Threats Chapter 466 Chapter 466 Methods to Eliminate Threats Li Zhenhua looked at the map and asked them, how is the progress of our Northeast Railway? ¡± Feng Guozhang replied that our railway construction is much faster than theirs. Due to climate reasons, our construction period is nearly two months longer than theirs. In addition, our railway construction is now all carried out by professional construction teams. They are still The work efficiency of recruiting some people who are similar to serfs is also different. " "Then we must build this Northeast Railway as soon as possible. This is a north-south economic artery. It is mainly used to transport troops. We still use it. For economic construction, a large amount of resources can be shipped out, and some industrial products from the mainland can also be quickly transported to the Northeast, and the entire Northeast economy will be revitalized." Chapter 466: Methods to Eliminate Threats After dealing with the problems in the Northeast, Feng Yuqing continued to move forward. Li Zhenhua reported on issues related to Japan. It turns out that because Japan has been completely defeated by us, we only pay attention to them economically, but recently they have been organizing an army again. Their army is organized to go to Africa as mercenaries of the British to join the British. Boer War. It turns out that because Japan has been completely defeated by us, we only pay attention to them economically, but recently they have been organizing an army again. Their army is organized to go to Africa as mercenaries of the British to join the British. Boer War. Li Hongzhang didn't think there was anything wrong, but Li Zhenhua immediately felt that they were playing tricks here again. Originally, their army had no strength, but they came here. First, through the British, they could add some weapons. Second, they could also increase some economic income. Third, Through their Boer War in South Africa, they were able to conduct actual combat training for their army. This was a shortcut to reorganizing the army. Li Hongzhang immediately understood when he heard this. It seemed that the Japanese were still unwilling to give up. They were thinking about restoring the army again. Li Zhenhua asked if there is any political movement in Japan? "Don't skip the word. " "There hasn't been a big movement, but some of the original shoguns seem to be more active recently." " "Who is the representative? " "It turns out that the descendant of the largest shogun, the Tokugawa Ieyasu family, is named Tokugawa Keiki. He has been more active recently. He already has some people under his command, and it is estimated that there should be four to five thousand samurai. But they are not doing anything bad for us now. "Li Zhenhua said to Li Hongzhang, I think this is the only way to prevent Japan from posing a threat to the Chinese Empire." "What do you want to do?" Li Hongzhang asked hurriedly. "Replace the current Meiji government with the shogunate system." "What do you mean?" "The thing is like this. During the original shogunate period, their various shogunates were fighting for years and were unable to pose a threat to the outside world. As long as they were separated again, they would immediately It's chaos." "The feudal warlords are fighting each other without a unified government, so their power will be dispersed and they will not be able to pose a threat to us," Li Hongzhang couldn't help but understand. "Yes, that's what it means. If we let their Hokkaido come out, their strength will be even weaker." "High. It's really high." Li Hongzhang and Feng Yuqing said together. Li Zhenhua sounded so familiar when he heard this line. The three people discussed together that they could support these capable descendants of the shogunate by providing them with economic, military, weapons and other assistance to break away from the control of the emperor and the Meiji government. There is definitely going to be a war, so let them carry out their Warring States period in Japan. We will have a place to sell our old arms. Soon the Government Affairs Council informed Liu Mingchuan that because Liu Mingchuan signed a contract with the local leader in Hokkaido, he obtained coal and daily necessities from Sakhalin Island. This made the Japanese locals very grateful to the Chinese Empire. At the same time, they also proposed the need for some weapons for self-defense and Although the reasons given to some hunters for hunting were not high-sounding, they were reasonable. Regarding this issue, Liu Mingchuan did not immediately reply to them but told them that he would ask the superiors for instructions. After Li Zhenhua heard the news, he immediately instructed Liu Mingchuan to give them anything they didn't want from the Japanese government, including cannons, but it must be done secretly and allowed to be smuggled by certain people. We still have a lot of old-style weapons as long as we give them money. We can just handle it for them. After the start in Hokkaido, the restless people also started to take action. Through the arms dealers in Hokkaido, they began to import the old weapons that they had eliminated from the Chinese Empire. These restless people took over.?They are the descendants of some of the generals from the original shogunate era. They all had some warriors under them. Suddenly, some particularly capable people were added to their side, some who could fight and some who could make suggestions. They added a lot of talents. Some of them were very interested in the guerrilla warfare invented by the Chinese Empire. The generals they encouraged with their research asked them to expand their strength as quickly as possible and occupy some territory in the country. From then on, Japan would be in control. Needless to say, these were the talents provided to them by the intelligence agents in Japan. Not long after, Japan's largest shogun, General Tokugawa Ieyasu, established a bodyguard for his family. The current head of the family is named Tokugawa Yoshiki. This is only his nominal bodyguard. This is an army, but the weapons are obviously not enough, so a new man named Kono Ichiro immediately suggested to him that there are already people in Hokkaido secretly smuggling weapons from the Chinese Empire. Are we too? We can find a way to import some weapons from the Chinese Empire. Tokugawa Keiki thought it was very good when he heard that Kono Ichiro was a rare talent. His suggestions were generally to the point. It was indeed necessary to import some weapons from the Chinese Empire, especially those new weapons and heavy weapons, so Tokugawa Keiki As a representative, he is asked to do everything possible to obtain weapons from outside, no matter which country they are from. Chapter 466: Methods to Eliminate Threats Chapter 466: Methods to Eliminate Threats Text Chapter 467 Smuggling weapons from the Chinese Empire Chapter 467: Smuggling Weapons from the Chinese Empire Chapter 467: Smuggling Weapons from the Chinese Empire As he got older, his family¡¯s life improved a bit. Later, his father died in the Korean War and the family¡¯s sky fell. His mother often talked to him. Speaking of his father joining the army, he was forced to join the army and later died in the war. Therefore, his mother was very disgusted with the war. Therefore, Kono Ichiro was disgusted with the war since he was a child. After Japan was defeated, their lives became even more sad. There is a Chinese store next to them. The owner has provided relief to their family many times and often told him that if he persists, life will get better. He and his mother are very grateful to this Chinese businessman. In the end, his mother died because of this Chinese businessman. The businessman helped him bury his mother. Afterwards, he found the Chinese businessman and asked him to take him in in return for the care they had taken of their family over the years. The Chinese arranged another job for him and later he joined the Chinese Empire. Underground intelligence organization. After a period of training and study, he was sent to work under Tokugawa Keki. With his intelligence and wit, he slowly got closer to Tokugawa Keki and became a powerful assistant that he relied on. Now that Tokugawa Kexi wanted him to purchase arms, he immediately reported the situation to the organization. The Intelligence General Office in Beijing immediately asked Kono Ichiro to take the opportunity to visit the Chinese Empire. So Kono Ichiro came to Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire. As soon as he arrived in Tianjin, someone contacted him and told him some precautions in Beijing this time. The explanation is clear. That person gave him a note (it seems there were no business cards at that time) and asked him to go to this person for help if he had anything to do. Ichiro Kono was on the streets of Beijing for another two days, so he went to the place the man in Tianjin said. A boss named Sha received him. Wherever Kono Ichiro went (this was actually a store of the intelligence department), he took out the note. Those people were very enthusiastic about him because with this note, things would be easier to do. At first, Kono Ichiro was reluctant to say that he had something to do, but the man said to him that if you have something to do, even if there is nothing that I can't handle, even if you want planes and cannons, I can do it for you. "Ichiro Kono was relieved. So Ichiro Kono told him about the smuggling of a batch of arms in the Chinese Empire. The man immediately said that everything is fine, but did you bring money?" Ichiro Kono immediately said money. It's not a problem as long as we have the goods and money. "Boss Sha asked Kono Ichiro, do you need weapons?" "This time I just need a thousand rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition." "Okay, these are easy to say, but now our Chinese Empire has very strict management of the military's standard weapons. I can I'll give you a thousand German Mausers and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Although the guns are used, they are guaranteed to be useful, but their prices are much lower. " "That's great. You have helped me. "I'm very busy." "No problem, you can come back to me if you need it. We have an account in a bank in Japan. You can just deposit the money directly. But I don't need anything else. I just need the transportation of the gold." You can rest assured that it can be shipped directly to any of your ports. "" Then send it to Osaka, Japan. " "When is the time for loading? " " The sooner the better." " Then tonight. Let's take the cargo to Tongzhou and then board it to Tianjin. After that, someone will help you load the cargo on the sea ship. No other problems. It can arrive in Osaka, Japan in ten days. Are you leaving with the cargo? "No skipping words? . "Yes, I want to go with the goods." "Then you will have a rest here first and then prepare to check and accept the goods. They will be shipped in the evening. Who is here?" Boss Sha called a person to take this person there. Take a break and let him eat something. " How can it be so easy to smuggle goods? It's just that the old guns and ammunition that have been arranged have been sold without paying for them. Although Kono Ichiro is already a human being, some things are better to be less. " Kono Ichiro After resting for a while, someone came to call him. Boss Sha asked him to take a car and went out together. After arriving in Dongcheng, they entered a warehouse. The guards in front of the door were very strict, but Boss Sha just talked to them and let them go. There were hundreds of wooden boxes in a warehouse. Boss Sha went up and opened a wooden box. Sure enough, there were ten rifles in each box. Although they were used, it could be seen that they were very heavy. There was still a layer of oil on the new one. Ichiro Kono pulled out a rifle and pulled the bolt with his hand. He saw that they were not all good guns. Next to him, he opened a row of twenty boxes and saw that they were all full of yellow bullets. Ichiro was relieved. It seemed that they were?Give me the gun first and pay later. So Kono Ichiro hurriedly said to Boss Sha, don¡¯t worry, I will pay you immediately. " "Since I dare to give it to you, I'm not afraid of you, so you can go with peace of mind. " At this time, a car stopped outside the door and several workers came in. They asked Boss Sha, "Do you want to load the goods now?" "No skipping words." "Put it on right away, and then your car will follow my car." The workers got busy. Kono Ichiro counted exactly one hundred long wooden boxes and twenty smaller boxes on the side. Everything went according to plan. After a while, they left the warehouse and went directly to the canal. There was a wooden boat waiting there. The workers were loading sand. The boss took out an 1898-style twenty-shot pistol with two magazines from his briefcase and handed it to Kono Ichiro. He said to him that we will be together from now on. I will give this pistol to him. You can also use it for self-defense. "Since he is a human being, give him a pistol. It can be used for self-defense. Ten days later, Ichiro Kono arrived in Osaka. He hurriedly informed Tokugawa Keiki, who was in a hurry. After receiving the notice from Ichiro Kono, they hurriedly came to Osaka. The men transported the goods to a safe place. They eagerly opened the bag. The imitation German Mauser rifle was better than the current Japanese army weapons. Ichiro Kono picked up a rifle from the box. Taking out the bullet, he pressed the bullet into the barrel. He squatted down and aimed at a small tree more than a hundred meters away. He heard a "bang" sound and the bullet had already hit the small tree. The men under him were all together. Applause. Chapter 467: Smuggling weapons from the Chinese Empire. Chapter 467: Smuggling weapons from the Chinese Empire. Text Chapter 468 Tokugawa Qingxi¡¯s Thoughts Chapter 468 Tokugawa Yingxi¡¯s Thoughts Chapter 468 Tokugawa Yingxi¡¯s Thoughts Ichiro Kono picked up a rifle and took out bullets from the box. He pressed the bullet into the bullet and crouched down to face the distance of more than a hundred meters away. When I aimed at a small tree, I heard a "bang" sound as the bullet hit the small tree. The men under my command cheered together. Tokugawa Qingxi smiled. From now on, he can dominate one side again. If possible, he will be stronger than his father's generation. He waved his hand and his men packed up their rifles. He took Kono Ichiro and left. He wanted to ask him in detail how he obtained these weapons. Kono Ichiro gave him a detailed report. He was afraid of the pistol. After taking it out, Tokugawa Keiki felt that this Kono Ichiro was really talented. He immediately put Kono Ichiro in charge of the training of the army. Kono Ichiro immediately said, "General, I can't take this position earlier than me." There are more suitable people than me who should be allowed to train soldiers. I will just be a soldier beside the general. " Such a person is someone who is not greedy for merit or officialdom. He is just willing to follow such a person, but there are too few of them. He must be reused in the future, so he agreed to his request and sent someone else for training, but kept him by his side. . The next day, Kono Ichiro deposited the requested gold into the bank account. At Kono Ichiro's suggestion, they once again wrote a letter to the Chinese Empire, proposing more supplies, weapons, economy, and supplies. Half a month later, Boss Sha replied. He agreed to Kono Ichiro's request and he would prepare and deliver the supplies to them. However, he said that it would take a while for him to reply to the military consultant's question. Wait a minute. Tokugawa Keiki is known as the reincarnation of Tokugawa Ieyasu, which means that he has certain abilities and foresight. He quickly formed a power in Japan, but at this time, the Japanese government was powerless and could do nothing about him. However, some of his other former vassals also began to take action. They also began to import weapons from the Chinese Empire through various channels. Tokugawa Kexi Japan will soon be in chaos, but it will definitely get the maximum benefit because there is a powerful one behind it. Rather than saying that the Chinese Empire is supporting his actions, it would be better to directly find the Emperor of the Chinese Empire and contact him directly, which may get more benefits. But there is another problem here, that is, it is not the Chinese Empire. What did His Majesty think, did he support this action? So he decided to gather some of his people who he thought were far-sighted to discuss and see what they had in mind. Views. All the capable men under him came and knelt on the Tatami rice. Kono Ichiro was also lucky enough to participate in this meeting, but because of his lower status, he could only stand at the back. Not many, mainly those who pay attention to fighting and killing, but more of them believe that they should go against the current government and then restore the Satsuma domain's sphere of influence and overthrow the current Meiji government of Japan. They have proposed some radical methods, such as carrying out assassinations. By assassinating some leaders of the Meiji government, Japan can be obtained. The arguments of these people were supported by the majority of people. They unanimously agreed to do this. When Tokugawa Yoshiki saw Kono Ichiro frowning, he must have an idea. But because his status was relatively low, he couldn't be casual, so he had to name Kono Ichiro to express his opinion. When he saw the feudal lord, Kono Ichiro, who was standing behind, bowed to everyone and said, "What you just said makes sense to us." It is to take advantage of the current Meiji government's power to regain its power and establish a powerful vassal force that belongs to us. But there are some issues that we should pay attention to. The first is that our country now owes the war to the Chinese Empire. The people of the Chinese Empire who are paying reparations are watching us next to us. If we do it without their permission, if they annoy them, we will have no way to resist them. I will go to the Chinese Empire this time. It's an eye-opener. We all think that these smuggled weapons are good, but they are old weapons that have been replaced. Think about how powerful they are now. Secondly, I don't think we should consider assassination operations first. As our strength grows, we can only occupy Honshu first, then Shikoku, and then Kyushu. In this way, we will need tens of thousands of troops. Now we should further strengthen our military strength instead of doing other things. Now if we want to expand the army, we still have a lot of work to do. The first thing is to have weapons and then to expand the army. But we still lack some grassroots officers. The most important thing is the problem of funding. Without funds, we talk in vain. " After Kono Ichiro finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and then stood back to his original position.Kawakawa Qingxi called Kono Ichiro to sit next to him. This was also an honor. It was very honorable to be able to sit next to the feudal lord. We saw that the feudal lord valued this young man so much that we had to pay attention to what he said. What he said originally made sense, so you can't just think of it based on your enthusiasm. People calmed down. Yes, this funding issue is a big problem. If you want to control the army, you must have strong economic backing. Tokugawa Qingxi saw that people had nothing to say, so he said to them, let¡¯s stop talking about it today, let¡¯s think about it carefully, and then we can continue the discussion. Everyone go first. " People stood up and walked outside. Tokugawa Yingxi left Kono Ichiro behind. Today, the young man said it very well. He wanted to talk to him further and let him express all his thoughts. Kono Ichiro said to Tokugawa Kei Xi said that the main thing about the general now is the financial problem. I think there should be no problem with the general?" Chapter 468 Tokugawa Yingxi's thoughts Chapter 468 Tokugawa Yingxi's thoughts Text Chapter 469 Keep an eye on their gold hiding place Chapter 469 Keep an eye on their gold hiding place Chapter 469 Keep an eye on their gold hiding place Ichiro Kono Now people have a legend that the original shogun hid a large amount of gold when he was about to fail, and this legend is the Chinese Empire The intelligence organizations on the side are also good, but people have always wondered whether this "hiding gold" thing is true. If it is true, Tokugawa Kei is certain. Seeing as he has no intention of giving up yet, I won¡¯t say anything yet, but I must find a way to ask about this matter. Tokugawa Yingxi said to Kono Ichiro that you don¡¯t need to think about the funding issue for now. The main thing is to think about how we can strengthen the army. " Hearing what he said, the "hidden gold" thing was true, so he began to chat with Tokugawa Keikikyo about how to build the army. The main issue was weapons, which had to be purchased from the Chinese Empire. Even those that have been eliminated are still better than the ones that have been eliminated. However, we should talk to the officials of the Chinese Empire not to engage in "smuggling" in the future. If that is the case, there will be no supply at all. Tokugawa Yoshiki agreed with Kono Ichiro's statement. It would be great to be able to talk to the official officials of the Chinese Empire, and it would be great to be able to talk to His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. It is not possible to contact the little people below. They are not clear about the meaning of the above, so Tokugawa Keiki discussed with Kono Ichiro about you. Is it possible to go to the Chinese Empire to specifically contact the Chinese Empire to see if I can talk to their senior leaders to get their support and help? Kono Ichiro told Tokugawa Yingxi that he would definitely go. We must try hard to find a way to meet their senior leaders, but I heard that His Majesty the Emperor dislikes the Japanese very much because he hates the Japanese so much. ¡°Then there is no way anyone can let us go there many times. Have you offended them? Now we must get their support. Without their support, we cannot succeed. Kono-kun, please worry about it. "General, I will work hard to meet their senior leaders." " Tokugawa Keiki said to Kono Ichiro that you are very capable and you can work by my side as my senior advisor." In other words, Kono Ichiro has already entered Tokugawa Keiki's senior staff. Kono Ichiro came to the Chinese Empire again. This time he had a handwritten letter from Tokugawa Yingxi, which was written directly to His Majesty the Emperor: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Chinese Empire: Japan is a small country and weak. The land is narrow and the people are poor. Those who fought against the Qing Dynasty were those who hijacked His Majesty the Emperor, whom all the people admired, and disrupted the national government and ordered hundreds of millions of people to invade neighboring countries, causing disaster and causing misery to the neighboring countries. The eternal sinners of our country and the Chinese Empire will fall into the Abi Hell and never be reborn. I have never had any enemies with neighboring countries in the more than 300 years since the Tokugawa clan came to power. Having committed injustice, I have exterminated myself from the world. I was able to return to peace. Fortunately, Your Majesty¡¯s open-mindedness saved me from destroying our country and our clan. How lucky I am to have met Your Majesty.¡± As soon as Kono Ichiro arrived in Tianjin, someone immediately received him. Kono Ichiro handed Tokugawa Yingxi's autographed letter to him. He was an old acquaintance and there was nothing to fear. The man immediately went to Beijing with him. After resting one night in the hotel, Kono Ichiro met the Emperor of the Great China Empire the next day. Li Zhenhua was very concerned about the people who worked for him. He asked Kono Ichiro carefully about his life and work and looked at them carefully. I read Tokugawa Yoshiki's letter and then asked Ichiro Kono to introduce the situation in Japan in detail. Although the current situation in Japan is somewhat limited, it is still necessary to learn from local people. As the saying goes, if you want to ask about things in the mountains, you need to ask. "Firewood man"? At noon, I invited Kono Ichiro to have dinner together. There is no need to talk about work during the meal. Other things will naturally be discussed by the people below. After the meal, Li Zhenhua talked to him about some principled issues and replied. No need. After all, this is not an open cooperation and needs to be carried out secretly. After staying in Beijing for another two days, Kono Ichiro conducted another two days of short-term training in the intelligence department. In fact, it can be said that it is forcefully indoctrinating him. Some political, military, economic and other aspects will allow him to have more capital in assisting Tokugawa Yoshiki in the future. Kono Ichiro originally lived at the lowest level in Japan, and he did not know much about Japan and the world. Then we have to study. In this aspect, the intelligence department is willing to make great efforts. Through some training, Kono Ichiro will make great progress. In the past few days, Ichiro Kono will also be encouraged to do his next work. After receiving specific instructions, he will enter the upper echelons of the Tokugawa family. At the same time, he will also need to strengthen his protection. Some minor issues will not require him to come forward. In the future, he will have a higher level of intelligence, and at the same time, he will also need to be taken into consideration. Kono Ichiro also told Li Zhenhua and Feng Yuqing that it might be true.Li Zhenhua said to Kono Ichiro about the "gold hiding" matter of ?? You said that we will pay attention to this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. We will definitely solve this matter. " At the same time, Ichiro Kono is also studying hard, mainly to be able to truly digest what the instructors taught him and at least have a rough idea. " After a short-term training, Ichiro Kono returned to Japan to reply to his questions. The feudal lord went. Li Zhenhua said to Feng Yuqing, "What do you think about this hidden gold issue?" Feng Yuqing said that if this seems to be true, we must find a way to get it. " "Do you have any idea? "Don't skip the word. "I have an idea, but it's not mature yet. " ". " "What I mean is that they won't have a lot of gold in their hands now. Now we provide them with a larger batch of weapons. The existing gold in their hands is definitely not enough, so they must use their reserves. We can follow the clues and find their gold hiding place. " "That's right," Li Zhenhua added. As long as we tell them that the supply of gold in their hands is not enough, they will definitely take their gold. Then we will know where their gold is hidden. " Chapter 469 Staring Keep an eye on their gold hiding place Chapter 469 Keep an eye on their gold hiding place Text Chapter 470 Kindergarten Chapter 470 Kindergarten Chapter 470 Kindergarten "We will deal with them then, and the gold will be ours. We can't leave any of it to them." "You are quite dark." Li Zhenhua said, but you must be careful when doing it. Can't let anyone else. " "Don't worry. I will definitely send out our most elite troops when the time comes. They will be much more efficient and won't stay here." " "But what if you take away all their gold and they can't afford weapons? " "That's okay, we can lend them a loan. " "Okay, then it's up to you. You have full authority to handle this matter and don't let others interfere. " Li Zhenhua and Feng Yuqing have always paid more attention to the issue of Kono Ichiro. It is related to the implementation of the Chinese Empire's policy towards Japan. If we want to completely solve Japan's problem, there is already an established policy, which is to let them split and restore to their original state. After the shogunate era ended, there was no longer a threat to us. Intelligence agents all over Japan also began their actions to actively contact the original shogunate era generals to make them more active and deal with them in some aspects. They are supporting them to make them stronger, not to overthrow the Meiji government of Japan, but also to isolate them, so that they will not have real strength. Only in this way can they have no worries when they use troops against Russia in the future. It's not good if Japan is making trouble again. Isn't it obvious that they want to be wary of Russia? They are now desperately building the Far East Railway. The purpose is obvious. Since you have this I think we have to prepare early. According to the current stage, all the military work is to prepare for another invasion of physical labor. They are all dreaming of this dream in the original time and space as well as now. If we don't shatter his dream, they will come to us from time to time. On this point, the leaders of the Chinese Empire have a common understanding, and those in the Government Affairs Council are all aware of this issue. I understand very well that everything they do now is to serve this center. Li Zhenhua stayed in Beijing for two days, and he wanted to move two more and go out with him. When he saw the two, Li Zhenhua put them down and immediately played with him. Li Zhenhua was also very happy when he saw the children playing happily. However, the two children were always afraid that no one would play with them when their father left. This made Li Zhenhua very depressed. The children were kept at home without anyone to play with. It¡¯s not a problem. Li Zhenhua thought it would be nice if there was a kindergarten. But where to find a kindergarten now? Li Zhenhua discussed with Yaqi and Wang Xin whether they could find some children like them and let them study together. Isn't it good to have fun? When the two heard this, they thought this method was good, so they took action immediately. First, they arranged a room and bought some children's toys. But they soon got tired of playing. When Li Zhenhua saw that this was not going to work, he treated them both. A mother said that if this doesn¡¯t work just for the two brothers, it will soon stop working together, so just find some kids the same age as them to play with, and they also need to find someone to provide early education to them. " When he heard this, he was stunned to find someone else to accompany them to play. They were too naive. Li Zhenhua saw that they understood and said to them, "That's not what you meant. You all have jobs and are busy every day. It's not them to play with or a nanny to play with them." If you have some little ones to play with, they won't feel bored. " "Then who should we find to play with them? "The two asked. "Find some children as old as them. Can't we just find some orphans or children from other families? "Don't skip the word. As soon as the two heard this method, they started to think about finding some people. As a result, they found four or five children of the same age. Li Zhenhua told them that this was not enough and they needed to find special teachers. It¡¯s not fun to educate them in their early years. We need to make some progress.¡± ¡°Where can we find such people?¡± ¡°Then we need to do some training. The schools specializing in training preschool teachers and normal colleges can only find a few students from normal colleges to provide early education to them. "Wang Xin immediately ran to find the Minister of Culture and Education. He was not Wang Xin. On a sudden whim, this was a problem related to the early education of a generation of children. Liang Qichao quickly made the decision to set up a preschool teacher major in normal colleges to educate children. At the same time, he applied to the Ministry of Finance for funds to establish the necessary preschool normal schools to specifically recruit students. Some girls focus on educating them so that they can truly develop a passion for work. Li Zhenhua didn¡¯t know that he had already established the first position in the Chinese Empire.Liang Qichao, the Minister of Culture and Education, also came to visit the kindergarten. Then he re-selected and sent several students from normal colleges that he thought were suitable to the kindergarten of his first family. What Li Zhenhua is most concerned about now is Russia's vast and vast territory and numerous underground resources. This is what Li Zhenhua has always been concerned about. In the original time and space, Russia and the Soviet Union in the future have always coveted our land. Now they are thinking about them. This made Li Zhenhua laugh a little. It seems that the head of state must have such expansion in his heart. The best defense is to attack. If you want to ensure that you are not violated, you must find a way to invade them. At this point, Li Zhenhua doesn't need to say more that his brothers will not stand still. Just look at Nie Qing. At that time, he set off from distant Kazakhstan to help the Northeast, but he had not yet reached the Northeast. The Anti-Russian War under the command of Li Zhenhua was over. It was over, which made him very angry, but there was nothing he could do. The distance was too far. The entire march was nearly 10,000 miles, and it was an infantry unit. In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Nie Qing's troops stopped advancing in the Mongolian area. The task was to consolidate national defense and establish a northern front-line defense system. Nie Qing was so angry that he would not restrain his hands and feet. After stopping for a while, he held a meeting in the Mongolian area. The first military meeting of the regiment and battalion-level officers who were equally focused on fire was full of complaints as soon as they entered the door. Chapter 470 Kindergarten Chapter 470 Kindergarten Text Chapter 471 Marching into Chak Chapter 471 Marching into Kyakhta Chapter 471 Marching into Kyakhta The commander of the first regiment complained that the troops were moving slowly. The commander of the fifth battalion complained that the Russian troops were too beaten. Some complained that the commander-in-chief did not leave any Russian troops to let the troops pass. To be honest, no one said that the journey was too far. After all, there was no precise place for the soldiers' station. No matter how far away they were, they had to rush to the place to fight. But the infantry who complained that the speed was too slow now had no good solution but to quickly form a cavalry unit. Hearing the officers under his command grumble, Nie Qing¡¯s face turned dark and he stood up. Okay, let¡¯s not talk about what happened in the past to you guys. Let¡¯s talk about something serious and we¡¯ll take care of it later? Just complaining about the problem cannot solve the problem. Now the headquarters' requirement for us is that we should establish a complete defense system in the local area. Please think about it and then please speak up and express your thoughts. ¡± A large map was quickly hung on the wall by the staff. It marked a long line from the Altay Mountains in the west to the Greater Khingan Mountains in the east. It was a place east of Kyaktu, the original key town of Sino-Russian trade. Facing a long line of more than 100 kilometers, the officers at all levels couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. How could they defend this long line with just one division? The regiment and battalion commanders began to think seriously. The troops under Nie Qing and Li Zhenhua all have a good habit in common, that is, before each battle, everyone will discuss tactical issues together and how the battle will proceed. Officers at all levels will discuss and finally find the best solution. After the battle plan is released, officers at all levels must work hard to think and make pre-judgments for the entire battle. This improves the officers' tactical awareness and allows everyone to improve their abilities in every battle. The regiment and battalion commanders were thinking hard and smiled slightly. They waved to Chief of Staff Ma Yunlu and Deputy Division Commander Battelle and the three of them went out. He came to the room and the two men of Chief of Staff Nie Qing also started their work. First, we told them that according to the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief, we must quickly expand our strength and form a powerful cavalry force. In addition, the Commander-in-Chief also said that we should first build up the commercial town of Kyaktu. Will the tax revenue there be placed in our hands? It is very difficult for us to expand with a large amount of funding. "Ma Yunlu is a clear-headed officer. He said to Nie Qing, "Let's do this. I will be in charge of this part." Battelle is specifically responsible for the training of the army. You are responsible for it. Work comprehensively so that our division of labor is clear. "Battle immediately agreed that this division of labor is very good. My strength is managing troops. If you really ask me to manage those problems, I really can't do it. Let's just leave it like this. From now on, all our money will be directed at you." Nie Qing said that even now. We have no choice but to do this first. We first disperse the troops and garrison the division headquarters at Kyaktu Bar. Centering here, expand to the east and west sides. To the east, get in touch with Commander Zhang as soon as possible. To the west, we need to get in touch with Mayor Lin of Karamay. The contact surface should not be too wide, just hold the center area first and then spread it to both sides. " "This is what we have to do now," Chief of Staff Ma Yunlu nodded and said. Our troops are insufficient. When our troops reach our strength, we will strictly defend the northern part of the country. In addition, we must also protect some minerals in Mongolia as soon as possible. We have to go deep into some important places to prevent them from falling into the hands of people who are not of the same mind as us." Battelle went on to say that the main ones are some of the gold mines in Mongolia. Now we have to control them as soon as possible. If there are Russians. Inside, we will go on a killing spree. Don't even think about taking away a tael of gold from us. " Nie Qing laughed loudly and said that's what it means. What's ours must not be taken away by others. Before we were not here, there was no way. Now that we are here, it is ours. No one can take it away from us." Ma Yunlu said, let¡¯s go and see how our brothers have come up with good ideas. Our Commander-in-Chief is using his brainstorming method, which has allowed many of our officers and soldiers to perform, and it has also given us a lot of benefits. seedling. " "Our training team also needs to be expanded. We need to intensify training for the Han warriors who can't ride horses before. It's impossible without horses on this prairie. They can't run no matter how hard they are. After all, they can't outrun the four legs of a horse here. On the one hand, Deputy Division Commander Ba, you have to worry more. " "Okay, I will definitely improve the equestrian skills of the Han people so that they can truly become eagles and soldiers on the grassland. If anyone can no longer ride a horse, I will let them run behind them for two days and they will be able to ride a horse. " The two of them all laughed when they heard this. They returned to the big tent. The regiments and battalion commanders had also begun extensive discussions. People had put forward many suggestions. The main ones were similar to the requirements above: disperse the garrison, strengthen communications, and concentrate financial resources. , Expand the troops as soon as possible, improve the adaptability of the troops, and transform the infantry intoThe soldiers guard the northern gate of the country. Chief of Staff Ma Yunlu quickly arranged the location of the troops. The division headquarters was stationed in the area south of Kyaktu. Other troops were stationed in battalions in a line. He ordered all units to be more vigilant to guard against sudden attacks by the enemy. The division headquarters soon arrived at Kyaktu, where several groups of scouts were sent out, and then the large army began to build the campsite. Nie Qing, Bater, and Ma Yunlu went to Kyaktu, five kilometers away, to have a look and learn about the local people. A company of guards followed them. At this time, Kyakhta had already been occupied by the Russians. The original Qing troops and tax authorities had to retreat southward and built a trading area again on the south side of the river that originally passed through the city. Now it is called in Chinese "City of Buying and Selling" is actually called Alatabulag. After 2000, due to the full opening of trade between China and Russia, there will be few merchants here to trade here, and there will be very few people coming. Even Chinese merchants are not willing to trade here, and most of them will come here. The Russian side across the way went to conduct transactions. Chapter 471 Marching into Kyakhta Chapter 471 Marching into Kyakhta Text Chapter 472 The tax collector who can¡¯t even eat Chapter 472: The Tax Official Who Can¡¯t Even Eat Chapter 472: The Tax Official who Can¡¯t Even Eat Most of them were Mongolian leather robes and the weapons were very special. But they didn't show too much surprise when they saw that they were all Chinese. However, they still showed surprised expressions when they saw the different equipment of the officers and soldiers. The equipment of these troops wearing Mongolian clothing is so good. Some of their equipment has never been seen before. Nie Qing and others dismounted and came to the middle of them. A man who looked like an official came forward and beat him a thousand pairs. Nie Qing said, Sir, I don¡¯t know that you are an army. We are far away from you. Please forgive me. "Nie Qing said to him kindly, you don't need to be polite, get up, let's go to your office and introduce your current situation to me." The man hurriedly got up and bent down and said to Nie Qing and others, "Sir, please take the younger ones." The conditions here are so bad. Please forgive me. " Several people entered his house and saw that the conditions were really bad. There was only a table, a chair, and half an earthen bed, and nothing else. Ma Yunlu said when he saw it, are your office conditions like this? " "My lord, there is nothing we can do. We are an agency sent by the imperial court to collect taxes. However, since the Russian army began to march into the northeast of our country, we have not been able to collect money at all. We have no choice. The imperial court did not tell us to withdraw. We have no choice but to Staying here now, let alone collecting taxes, even our lives have become a problem. " "My highest official position is the seventh rank, but my position is not high, I am just an inspection department of the ninth rank in the mainland. My name is Bian Qingshan, and I am Guangxu tenth. I was a Jinshi in the year because I had no money to take care of the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so they sent me here. I have been here for more than ten years. In the good times, I only earned tens of thousands of taels of silver per year. Now, let¡¯s not talk about it.¡± See. This tax official even has trouble eating. Nie Qing and the others feel very depressed. It seems that they don't even know that we have defeated the Russian army. In this place where birds can't shit, he has been there for more than ten years. of. So Nie Qing asked where are the rest of you? " "My lord, the rest of the people are under my care. When they saw that we had no income, they dispersed. Some went with other caravans, and some went to look for work everywhere to support themselves. There are two people who are not here. If you are willing, just follow me here. They have gone hunting, and we have to live. Anyway, there is plenty of land here, and there is enough for the three of us to grow whatever we want. " " Others left, but you didn't leave? " "Sir, I am the official of the court. The court asked me to be here, so I have no choice but to stay here. I have to stay here. This is the customs of our Qing Dynasty. " Hearing this, Nie Qing and the others couldn't help but respect Bian Qingshan. Even when he had no food to eat, he was still thinking about the country's customs? Nie Qing waved to the guard company commander. Nie Qing said something in his ear. Company Commander Ju went out. "Sir Bian," Bian Qingshan was shocked when he heard this title and said hurriedly. "I don't dare to be an adult. Please tell me. Since you said you are an official, don't be embarrassed." How about we stop calling you "sir" and just call him "sir" "You see, from now on, if you are older than the three of us, then you are the eldest brother." Now, please tell us about the situation of the Russian army facing us. " "Well, it turns out that the Russian army used to have heavy troops stationed here. At most, they had more than 10,000 people. Now they only have about two people. Thousands of people are stationed in the southwest of the new city. They are not elite troops. Those fierce Cossack cavalry are gone. There is only a colonel here. But you have a small number, so you can't provoke them. They have more than two thousand people." "You. Can you give us a picture of their situation? "No skipping words. "It turns out that there used to be a military camp where our troops were stationed. It turns out that I have been there and they didn't make any changes." After saying that, Bian Qingshan took out the paper and brush. Ma Yunlu looked at the pen and hurriedly handed it to Bian Qingshan, took the pen and took a look. He immediately said, "This is from us." "Yes, this is our Jinxing brand pen made in Shanghai." " "It's great that we can also produce pens. Over the years, all we have exported are the same old items. There are no daily necessities, but only tea, silk and the like. It seems that our country has made progress. " "Brother Bian, if you like it, I can give it to you. I still have it there. I'll just have someone send you a few more bottles of ink later. " "Forget it, I don't need this anymore. I'm just waiting to die here. "After speaking, he sighed and shook his head. His eyes seemed to be wet. The guard company commander came in and broke the dull atmosphere in the room. "Report to the division commander on the reconnaissance."Brothers, we have four teams. They conducted reconnaissance on the Russian garrison in the southwest. They have more than two thousand people living there. The guards are lax. No, we are already here, but it looks like they are about to leave. The soldiers are packing up. luggage. " "Want to leave? It's not so easy to regard this place as their home. They can come and leave whenever they want. " "Division Commander, we only have one battalion. There are more than 500 people versus 2,000 people. Do we need to notify other troops? "No need, even your company will eat them for me." Nie Qing glared and said. "Just tell the troops to rest where they are and not to move around. Don't let those Russian troops go." " "Yes," the guard company commander agreed and went out immediately. "Brother Bian, please continue. "Nie Qing stretched out his hand and asked Qingshan to continue drawing his map. Bian Qingshan saw that this general was not a good one, so he hurriedly started drawing on the paper. After a while, he drew out the topographic map of the military camp in Qaktu. What is it? Jinshi's drawings were quite clear and the terrain was clear. Several reconnaissance teams reported to Nie Qing on the enemy's situation. On the map drawn by Bian Qingshan, they pointed out the enemy's garrison situation, troop deployment, etc. The main thing was that the enemy had no information at all. Be prepared. After hearing their report, Nie Qing asked them to inform the battalion commander and several company commanders they brought to let the troops rest quickly and prepare for the battle. Chapter 472 The tax collector who can't even eat. The tax collector who can't even eat Text Chapter 473 Beheading Operation Chapter 473 Beheading Operation Chapter 473 Beheading Operation After a while, the guard company commander came in. He and several soldiers from the cooking class began to prepare meals. First they served wine and then brought various dishes, which were nothing more than some meat. Two of Aoyama's men beside him They all started to swallow their saliva as soon as they saw each other. They hurriedly helped out. Then Nie Qing and the others started eating and drinking with Bian Qingshan and others. Several battalions and company commanders also came and everyone sat down together. While eating and drinking, the three of Qingshan looked at this group of soldiers who did not look like soldiers or bandits. He did not dare to say anything. Anyway, we will eat if you let us eat. Let us drink if we drink. After several people had eaten and drank enough, Nie Qing pointed to the map and began to issue orders: The three companies assigned by the First Battalion were to surround the Kyaktu Barracks from the north, west, and east at four o'clock in the night. If a fire is lit outside, as long as the Russian troops come out, there is no need to be polite at all to open fire against the Russian troops. Each company took out a machine gun squad and asked them to block the south gate of the barracks. As long as the Russian troops came out, they would be beaten severely. Guard company, you arrive at the designated location before four o'clock at night to prepare for a "decapitation operation" on the enemy. Chief of Staff, you lead all the logistics personnel to the hill three miles behind and listen to the order to light a few fires as suspects. The entire battle was commanded by Deputy Division Commander Ba. When the Chief of Staff heard about this beheading operation, the division commander wanted to personally take action. That would be unacceptable. If something happens to the top leader of a division, it would be unacceptable. No matter how bad the enemy is, there are more than 2,000 people, and they are also our four. That's more than twice as much, so Ma Yunlu immediately said, "Master, this is not okay. You can't go up to the front. If you want to go, I'll go too." "Nie Qing immediately said no. I have the final say here. All orders are executed by me. If anyone disobeys the order, I will immediately put him in solitary confinement." Bian Qingshan finally understood that these people turned out to be our new army of the Qing Dynasty. How about that? They will have so many new types of equipment and such powerful combat effectiveness. When he saw it, he immediately said, "Commander, please assign us tasks as well. Several of us will also go up." " "No, I'll have your mission. You'll be so busy that you won't even be able to eat. " As soon as Bian Qingshan heard this, he immediately started to take off his clothes. He pulled the clothes, pushed the top back, and a back full of bones appeared in front of people. It was full of marks from whips. People were stunned when they saw it. Nie Qing walked up to him and gently put on his clothes and said, brother, don't worry, we will definitely avenge you today." "Just let brother go up and all your support staff. I'm fine if I go up, just let me take part in this battle. Even if I die, I will be happy that I can finally teach them a lesson." Hearing Bian Qingshan's request, Nie Qing walked to his side and pulled out the gun. Armed with an 1899 and a few magazines, he told him, big brother, it will be yours from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, you will beat him. " "You have to protect me, Lao Ma. Don't hurt him and let him be with you. "After that, he said to everyone, let's start the conversation. It is now 17:37 for everyone to rest and prepare for the morning action." The last quarter moon hangs in the sky and shines on the ground, making it look colder. Everything is silent and there is no sound around. There was no movement at all in the old Qing army camp south of the Kyaktu River. The Russian sentries had already gone to find a place to rest because it was too cold. Only the occasional sound of the Russian war horses came from the two thousand Russian soldiers. Many people all fell asleep. They thought that they had returned to the country and no longer had to be afraid in a foreign land. Suddenly, a few figures entered the barracks quickly in the night. They were walking quietly towards the colonel's residence. Because no Qing army had ever appeared here or the Russian army, they thought it was safe. Not even a sentry came in outside the colonel's door. Several of them were armed with short guns. If you look closely, they all had 98a type 20-shot repeating pistols. They came to the colonel's door. A man pulled out the dagger from his waist and gently reached in through the crack of the door. He pushed the door bolt and opened the door gently. Several people entered the room and saw two of the colonel's guards sleeping there under the moonlight. Two people went up. Nie Qing knocked the two men unconscious without making any sound. Nie Qing pointed his pistol at one of the soldiers inside and kicked the door open. Several rushed in. A flashlight shined into the colonel's eyes and he woke up from his dream. Colonel Krysovsky covered his eyes with his hand and did not shout loudly because he was not a soldier. The soldiers did not have such flashlights that are only available in Western European countries. Several soldiers went up and took out his Browning pistol from under his pillow. They pointed at his clothes and asked him to put on his clothes. One soldier said to him in halting Russian: We are the Chinese army and you have already You are surrounded by us and you are now our prisoner. You have to cooperate with us to make your soldiers put down their weapons. We will treat you preferentially. If you don't cooperate, all your soldiers will die here.Of course that includes you. " What I didn't expect was that Colonel Krysovsky was actually a Chinese speaker. He spoke Chinese very well. He saw that Nie Qing was the highest officer of these people, so he said to Nie Qing and others in Chinese, "Okay, we are in the Far East. The region has been defeated by you, and even our governor has become your prisoner. I will definitely cooperate with you and hope that you can guarantee our safety. " "As long as you obey my orders, I will guarantee your safety. We will not mistreat prisoners." So Krysovsky saluted Nie Qing and said to Nie Qing, what now? " "Order your troops to come out and assemble without weapons. "The two unlucky guards outside were pushed in. Krysovsky told them to order everyone to assemble quickly with bare hands." The two guards ran outside and shouted loudly. Nie Qing made a gesture to one of the guards. The guard immediately arrived outside and fired two green flares into the air. Fires were soon lit in the distance. Countless gun muzzles appeared on the walls of the barracks, pointing at the Russian soldiers who were coming out one after another. Chapter 473: Decapitation Operation Chapter 473 Chapter beheading operation Text Chapter 474 Occupying Chak Chapter 474 Occupying Kyakhta Chapter 474 Occupying Kyakhta After a while, the lights in each barracks of the Russian army came on. The soldiers began to slowly gather on the playground. They didn¡¯t know what was going on, and they were all mumbling. Some were cursing, but they soon found that the surroundings were full of guns pointed at them, so they all became honest. They couldn't talk or move around at this time. If they were not careful, bullets would fly out, and they would have to throw them away. of life. More than two thousand Russian officers and soldiers stood in line. A large number of Chinese came in from outside the wall. They quickly entered the Russian barracks, took out their weapons from the room and piled them together. However, the machine guns on the walls and roofs were Always facing them. Several Russian soldiers saw that there were not many people in the squadron. A few of them suddenly ran towards the south gate. But as soon as they opened the gate, a string of machine gun bullets came in. The Russian soldiers immediately The remaining Russian officers and soldiers who were beaten into pieces by the dense bullets did not dare to move. Seeing that his soldiers were all honest, Colonel Krysovsky walked to the front of the queue and gave his last speech to his soldiers: "Soldiers, we are now surrounded by the squadron. They ask us to hand over ourselves." Weapons will ensure the safety of our lives and ensure that prisoners will not be abused. I hope you can cooperate with the management of the squadron." There was a commotion in the Russian army's queue. At this time, Nie Qing walked to the front of the queue and shot away the gun in his hand. After one shot, the Russian army's queue immediately fell silent. Then he said to the prisoners: "You are our prisoners now and must obey our orders. If you don't obey the orders, those people." He raised his hand to those who fell at the gate. He pointed at the corpse in front of him, "That's the consequences of disobeying orders." The soldier under Nie Qing was complaining that the commander's orders were difficult to translate. At this time, Bian Qingshan had already come over. He spoke to the prisoners in proficient Russian. The prisoners who heard this were having a cold war one by one. This Chinese general was not easy to mess with. It seemed that they had no choice but to obey his orders. At this time, they also discovered that the Chinese only had a few hundred people in total, and these few hundred people had controlled more than 2,000 of their own. Now that the weapons had been handed over, they couldn't do anything else, but look at their equipment. If I really fight with them, I will never get a lot of good weapons. I have never seen them at all, let alone used them. At this point, I can only listen to the mercy of the Chinese. Nie Qing immediately arranged the work of his men and sent a company to take care of the prisoners of war. This became a temporary prisoner of war camp. He escorted the prisoners back to his residence and asked their cooking soldiers to come out to arrange meals for them. Let their logistics troops come out to feed those war horses. There are quite a few war horses, about 1,700 or 800, and some are pack horses. Deputy Division Commander Battelle was happy when he saw those horses. There were some good horses among them, those tall Don horses. He is famous all over the world. Now he can deal with a regiment of cavalry and horses. Is Battelle unhappy? It was already daybreak. Bian Qingshan said to Nie Qing: "Commander, I remembered that we need to immediately search the Russian checkpoints. We can't let them take away the taxes they collected. We have to go and get them right away." Nie Qing Upon hearing this, he immediately shouted: "Second Company Commander, you immediately follow Brother Bian to the Russian checkpoint. Leave all their money to me. Come to the stable and each lead a horse. Now you are all cavalry. Take them." All the people who disobeyed were put under guard and shot on the spot." The second company commander shouted loudly to his soldiers: "Follow me." Nie Qing took a look at the barracks and the house. That's fine. We should make good use of it. Nie Qing said to the Chief of Staff Ma Yunlu who had just returned: "Our division headquarters will be here from now on. The terrain is good and there are more houses here. After they finish eating, let the prisoners of war start cleaning up here." We went to the streets of Kyaktu to call all the businessmen for a meeting and told them that from now on, the place here belongs to China. From now on, the taxation will be managed by the Chinese and implemented according to our requirements. Let Bian Qingshan pay close attention to the work as soon as possible. Let us have some income." "That's it." Chief of Staff Ma Yunlu said immediately: "Let's take a look at their wealth and see how much money they have." "Then hurry up," Battelle said. Go and count it for them. If we have more money, we can recruit troops right away." Ma Yunlu said with a smile: "After that, we will open our own business and don't have to let the family control us anymore. The life of the Commander-in-Chief is not as good as we can. It would be better if we earn more. If the soldiers are tired after a night, let them rest and eat, and then start working in turns. The soldiers in each cooking team are starting to get busy.Everyone who was standing guard began to rest, but Nie Qing, Battelle and Ma Yunlu could not rest. They began to count the Russian army's warehouses with the soldiers. This surprised them. They did not expect that the Russian army would have something in their hands. There is so much silver. It turns out that this is one of their main trade windows with China. They drove away the Chinese customs officials. They levied taxes from both sides. What should have been taxes from both sides, but they all went into their own hands. They took this place. The original large trading market was completely occupied and rebuilt into a closed market. Anyone who dared not trade here would have to pay the price with his life. After they built this place, they drove all the Chinese officials to the Kyaktu River. Go build a market on your own in the south. As the Russian army invades, they become even more unscrupulous, making it difficult for the Chinese tax officials to even eat. In the end, they counted more than one million taels of silver, as well as some rubles and some jewelry. It turned out that their customs entrusted them to send it away and asked them to take the tax back. They had never thought of letting this place go. They went to Bianqingshan in Kyaktu Town and came back. They also gained a lot. They also counted the customs in Russia and found that there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver there. Chapter 474 Occupying Kyakhta Text Chapter 475 How can you drink when your head is gone? Chapter 475: How can you drink when your head is gone? Chapter 475: How can you drink when your head is gone? When Nie Qing saw this situation, he was also a little dizzy. The money was too much. He should try his best to get it back, so he asked. Qingshan, how do you guys remit taxes to Beijing? Bian Qingshan immediately said that this is not a difficult problem, just leave it to the various tax offices and let them solve it. Only after he said this did Nie Qing understand that there is still such a thing. Then we have to entrust them. What Nie Qing needs to consider now is to stabilize the local business order. We cannot stop China and Russia from stopping commercial exchanges just because we occupy this place. That will not work. This is not the intention of the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief has always taken measures against business. If we have a supportive attitude, we cannot go against the commander-in-chief¡¯s wishes, and we must vigorously support the commercial exchanges between the two sides. A few people talked and ate and quickly settled on a principle, which was to support businessmen from both sides to continue business exchanges. The tax burden must be set at an appropriate position. They could not kill all the businessmen like the Russians and let them have A suitable tax burden. At the same time, Russia will also collect taxes in the future. It cannot be levied by one party like them. That party will definitely not be willing. But in this world, who has the final say has the final say. It turned out that they levied the tax, so now it should be us who collect it. So Nie Qing asked Bian Qingshan to tell us how much our tax should be levied no matter what happened. Then Bian Qingshan said to Nie Qing and others: "According to the current situation, this tax should be levied 100%." The total of the twelve parties is about 20%. It turns out that the Russian side levies about 30% or more. They have no certain standards at all. If we levy 10%, it will be very difficult for us here. It will develop soon. "When the three military people heard that they were laymen, they should listen to the experts, so they decided to levy a 10% tax on their own side. We gave it to us. If their people come in the future, we will share half of the tax with them, but that will have to be decided by the senior management. After discussing this issue, we need to announce the decision with the Chinese and foreign businessmen in the town mayor. This decision is made on behalf of the country. Nie Qing and the others arrived in the town with Bian Qingshan. The soldiers had gathered all the relevant merchants. Bian Qingshan announced to people that from today on, Kyakhta has been taken over by the Chinese government. The taxes will be paid by the Chinese government. After the government levies a comprehensive tax rate on all commodities, all imported and exported commodities will be levied a 10% tax. It will only be levied once and there will be no double taxation. Hearing Bian Qingshan's announcement, the faces of the businessmen showed expressions of joy, especially the Chinese businessmen. The businessmen were mainly businessmen from Shanxi. These hard-working Shanxi businessmen left their homes and businesses to do business everywhere. This place in China was also bullied by the Russians. Now they heard that the Chinese would be responsible for collecting taxes in the future. They were extremely happy. They negotiated together. Several shopkeepers came up and said to Bian Qingshan: "Master Bian, we are not familiar with these military masters. Please introduce them to us." Bian Qingshan immediately said to him: "This one is ours." Commander Nie of the Chinese New Army, this is Deputy Commander Battelle, and this is Chief of Staff Ma Yunlu. "The shopkeepers all knew about the domestic situation, and their sources of information were also very accurate. They heard that this was the army of the New Army. The most famous commander-in-chief in the country, Commander-in-Chief Li Zhenhua, had a very good relationship with his boss and his new army. They donated a lot of money when they started the Western Expedition. Several shopkeepers immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Nie Qing. Nie Qing, Battelle and Ma Yunlu immediately stopped them and said to them: "Since you know our new army, you also know our rules. The rule is that no one is allowed to kowtow when we meet later. No one can kowtow anymore, not only after seeing us, but also when meeting anyone. Of course, you still have to follow the etiquette of your descendants for your elders. " A shopkeeper said: "I am the shopkeeper of the Shanxi Qiao family in Kyaktu. We have had enough of the Russians' anger over the years. Now that you are here, don't leave. We need your protection. We have specially prepared a banquet to invite you all today." Let's talk together." In order to have a good relationship with these people in the future, Nie Qing happily agreed and said to the foreign businessmen: "We protect all formal business activities, and we also protect you. Don't be afraid. As long as you obey our laws, we will protect you. In the future, we will have a large amount of goods shipped here. You can boldly carry out your business activities. You must inform your companions of our regulations and reassure them. If you boldly come to China to do business, you will definitely make a lot of money." ThoseThe businessmen have been doing business with the Chinese for a long time. Of course they understood what Nie Qing said and went back with excitement. They talked to each other enthusiastically as they walked. Several military officers and businessmen entered a local restaurant. After they sat down, shopkeeper Qiao first took out a handful of silver notes and said to Nie Qing: "This is a hundred thousand taels of silver notes. It is a small gift from each of our businesses. Please give me a few." After the general accepts us, he will do business under your protection." Nie Qing immediately stood up and said to Shopkeeper Qiao, "Uncle Qiao, this is wrong. Our New Army never collected this kind of protection fee last year. When we set off from Beijing to the northwest to fight the Russian army, your Qiao family donated a huge sum of money to us, which made our entire army very admired. Our commander-in-chief has long ordered that no one can take the needle and thread of the common people casually. Uncle, you can't let me violate military discipline. If I take your money, we can't drink together." A shopkeeper said at the side: "Why?" Nie Qing made a head-cutting gesture with his hand. "How can you drink when you have no head?" Several shopkeepers were shocked when they heard that such a thing happened, so they did not dare to persuade them to accept the banknotes. After that, the banquet was served and everyone started eating and drinking together. Although they were all drinking together, the businessmen were trying to find out about the army, while Nie Qing and the others were also trying to understand the local situation. After drinking this drink, everyone was very happy. The merchants knew that the new army would be stationed here for a long time. They must truly take the responsibility of protecting this place. Nie Qing and others also learned about the Kyaktu area through conversations with them. importance to China. Chapter 475: How can you drink when your head is gone? Text Chapter 476 Redevelopment of Chuck Chapter 476 Redevelopment of Kyakhta Chapter 476 Redevelopment of Kyakhta The loud bugle sounded the next morning, followed by the slogans of the army getting up early for training, the sound of running, etc. This new way of life gradually integrated into people in this border town are living. ("") Nie Qing's people have all entered into intense work. In modern parlance, their current work is called the armed work force. First of all, their task is to defend the country. Because Li Zhenhua achieved a huge victory in the Northeast, they After packing up a regiment of the Russian army, they were especially vigilant to guard against enemy retaliation. However, after being nervous for a month and not seeing any reaction from the Russian army, they gradually became relieved. But Nie Qing and the others would not give up their vigilance against the enemy. They changed their passive defense of the enemy into active defense. They sent a large number of reconnaissance personnel to go deep into the enemy, especially the important Russian city of Ulan-Ude due north. The railway here has already been built and goes eastward from here. If Russia has any military operations, they will definitely transport a large number of troops and supplies here. At the same time, Naushki, 35 kilometers to the northwest, is a station on their railway line surrounding Lake Baikal. Here they also A secret intelligence liaison station was dispatched under commercial cover. Through their understanding with the businessmen, they knew that the Kyakhta under their feet was originally Chinese territory. In 1727 (the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign), Tsarist Russia and the Qing government signed the "Lenschi Treaty" (called by Russia) here. "Treaty of Kyakhta") The two countries are bounded by the Kyakhta River. Kyakhta in Hebei belongs to Russia. In Henan, Alatambula was built as a trading market for China and Russia. The Chinese later called it the "City of Buying and Selling." To the south is Kulum, which is the future capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. Ulaanbaatar was founded in the 39th year of the fourth year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty. It was originally the largest living Buddha in the Khalkha region of Mongolia, Jebtsundamba Hutu. Ketu is stationed in Xi. In the forty-third year of Qianlong's reign (1778), Jebzundamba established a city defense at his residence and named it Kulun, which means fenced pasture. Kulun falls under the jurisdiction of General Ulia Sutai and is the headquarters of the Central Banner of Tushetu Khan. (Later, in 1911, the eighth Jebtsundamba declared Ulyasutai (Outer Mongolia) to be the self-proclaimed emperor with the support of Russia. In 5 years, Jebtsundamba accepted the canonization of the Republic of China President Yuan Shikai and changed it to autonomy. In 1921, Xu Shuzheng led the Beiyang government troops to occupy Kulun and abolished the autonomy of Outer Mongolia. In 1921, Mongolia successfully established a constitutional monarchy as its capital. In 1924, under the control of the Soviet Union, Mongolia declared that Mongolia would no longer belong to China.) Several merchants were invited to help send guides and one of their own staff officers was protected by a platoon of soldiers back to Beijing to report to Li Zhenhua. Report the situation of his division to Li Zhenhua, obtain Li Zhenhua's orders for his next action, ask for instructions on how to carry out his next work, and request Li Zhenhua's help to strengthen communications with Mongolia, improve transportation conditions, and vigorously promote commercial activities here. Report He also listed in detail the various products that should be shipped here in the future, mainly traditional products such as tea, silk, and porcelain. In addition, the various daily necessities newly produced by himself are also popular products. The soldiers and their guides went south to Kulun, Zhangjiakou and then to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing, they learned that Li Zhenhua was not in Beijing but had been in Fengtian after the victory over the Russian army. They informed Sheng Xuanhuai of Kyaktu's situation in Beijing. After a report, they rushed to Fengtian to see Li Zhenhua. At that time, Sheng Xuanhuai invited Qiao Zhiyong and several bosses who had semicolons in Kyaktu to discuss it together. They analyzed how to revitalize Kyaktu, a former commercial town. The main reasons for Kyakhta's plummeting situation over the years are several. First, after the opening of many trade channels between China and Russia, coupled with Russia's poor management of Kyakhta, and secondly, the lack of goods and lack of competitiveness. We still have our traditional products, and the continuous emergence of many of our new daily necessities will definitely attract Russian merchants. The product problem is easy to say, but the long journey is a big problem. Sheng Xuanhuai looked at this long trade road and admired Qiao Zhiyong and other Shanxi merchants very much. This long trade road thousands of miles away only took more than a month to walk. If the horse team and camel team transporting goods are added to the time, it will be much slower. Even cars cannot be used just to transport gasoline. But no matter what, it has to be transported there. If there is no commercial activity, just the supplies of the troops will also have to go. The best way is to establish some stations along the way to combine commercial, civilian and military uses, and then develop some mineral deposits. Once the transportation and communication lines are opened, there will be no problem. Later, a new transportation and communication line will be built.??Railways and highways are much more convenient. After careful thinking, Sheng Xuanhuai finally made up his mind. He reported his ideas to Li Zhenhua, and with Li Zhenhua's consent, he began to send the first batch of supplies to Kyaktu. At the same time, he also constructed the stations along the way and sent troops along the way. The route for stationing him in various places is to start from Beijing, pass through Zhangjiakou, Zhangbei County, Huade County, Xianghuang Banner, Sunit Right Banner, and then Zamyn Uud. Now there is no name for Erlian there, and then enter the Outer Mongolia region (now it is also Regardless of Inner and Outer Mongolia) the following is Saiyinsanda, then Kulun, Sohara, Darkhan and finally Kyaktu. On this long road, a post station must be built every one hundred and twenty miles. There is no way to station troops on this long national border. With these stations, the road will be relatively safer, and people will not have to work as hard as before. In order to reduce the domestic transportation pressure in the future, the officers and soldiers of the Nie Qing Division in Kyaktu are also working on planting some food crops and vegetables and raising some cattle, horses, pigs, etc. to reduce domestic transportation pressure as much as possible. The pressure of transportation here is to expand the army while recruiting more local soldiers. They have long been accustomed to the life here. The climate of more than 40 degrees below zero is unbearable for some soldiers who have never been there. . Chapter 476 Redevelopment of Kyakhta Text Chapter 477 Chuck is prosperous again Chapter 477 The Kyakhta is Prosperous Again Chapter 477 The Kyakhta is Prosperous Again The local warriors who have been living and growing up here for generations do not take this seriously at all. They themselves have been in such a climate to begin with. They won't be picky about what they should do in such a climate. There won't be any discomfort. "" () The first batch of items Sheng Xuanhuai delivered to the troops were mainly cold-resistant clothing, including fur coats, fur jackets, leather shoes, power generation equipment, and even weapons. He considered using single-shot weapons as much as possible and not being afraid of the cold. For repeating weapons, you need to know that even the bolt may freeze when the weather is cold. This was often the case with German repeating weapons during World War II. This was also the case with the U.S. military during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. U.S. military officers ordered the soldiers A shot must be fired every forty minutes to prevent the bolt from freezing, so that the troops have no concealment at all. At the same time, the owners of several merchants purchased a large amount of daily necessities from China in Beijing and sent a large number of escorts to Kyakhta. Their products were various, mainly daily necessities, which are very precious in Russia. As long as they are made in China, there are Whatever it is, transport it to Chak together. For the relatively backward Russia, these things are urgently needed. There are also many things that can be used for both military and civilian use, such as cans, compressed biscuits, etc., which are eaten by both military and civilians. . Nie Qing received a letter from Li Zhenhua. In the letter, Li Zhenhua gave many specific instructions for their next work, but in principle it was consistent with their ideas. That is to say, first of all, national defense cannot allow Russia to easily enter our territory. Then we need to improve the lives of local people, develop business, and sell a large amount of our products to Russia. In today's words, this is dumping. All industrial products are sold there in exchange for hard currency. Seeing that Li Zhenhua's instructions were consistent with their own ideas, the few of them let go and got to work. First, they renovated their military camps to ensure that their soldiers could not be frozen. The thousands of Russian prisoners of war were the last ones. Good laborers built their barracks as if they were new. The war horses left by the Russian army first satisfied the Kyaktu garrison and then gave some to other troops. As soon as possible, they changed their troops from infantry to cavalry and gave the soldiers four more legs. This way, they can move much faster. Zhangguo training allows soldiers to become familiar with their silent comrades as soon as possible. At the same time, a group of new soldiers were recruited near the station to join the army for training and expand their own army. The number of new soldiers was very complex. There were a large number of Han and Mongolians, and there were also many Russian soldiers. Nie Qing boldly used some of the original Some of the Russian prisoners of war were willing to join the Chinese army because they were in good physical condition, so they were accepted together. Those prisoners of war said that they had no one at home and no relatives after they returned, so they might as well join the Chinese army and continue to serve as soldiers and eat food. Then the goods from various merchants arrived. First, some manual labor merchants purchased large quantities. Seeing that the goods were very popular with them, but they were not able to eat a large amount of goods, Nie Qing mobilized some people to go to Ulan-Ude opposite. Naushki and other places went to retail, which attracted more Russians. At first, they still didn't understand the Chinese and were a little afraid. But after seeing the strict discipline of the squadron and the friendly attitude of the locals towards them, they carried out propaganda after they returned. As a result, more Russians came to buy things and those old fools came over. It's like going to the market. They like all Chinese goods. Although they don't have much money in their hands, they bring a lot of items, various beasts, skins, cattle, etc. They want to exchange items with the Chinese. The Chinese businessmen are also happy. exchange with them. The railway here in Russia has already been built. From here, it goes west around Lake Baikal and then all the way west into the center of Russia. Although it is still far away from the most developed places in Europe, the road is slow. Slowly told the Russians all the sources of Chinese goods, so more and more people came here. Finally, Kyakhta returned to its former prosperity. The checkpoints in Bian Qingshan were also busy. His people also returned to him to continue their work. On this day, Bian Qingshan ran to Nie Qing's division headquarters to find Nie Qing. When Nie Qing saw Bian Qingshan, who was very busy every day, he came to him and thought something had happened and asked hurriedly: "Brother Bian, what's wrong with you? Did something happen when you came here in such a hurry?". "It's nothing, but I'm here to find someone to help. I'm really overwhelmed here. Please send me some brothers quickly." "Okay, then I'll find some educated soldiers and officers for you. I have to take care of you first no matter what.Our food has become a problem. " As soon as Nie Qing agreed readily, Bian Qingshan didn't care about anything else and hurriedly gave Nie Qing a fist and said, "Brother, I won't stand today. I'll buy you a drink another day. " After saying that, Bian Qingshan left in a hurry. Nie Qing also hurriedly sent more than thirty officers and soldiers to Bian Qingshan's checkpoint to help. However, now he has changed the name here and it is no longer a checkpoint, but has officially become a checkpoint. The first customs in the north is the commander-in-chief's wish, and the tax rate here is set by oneself. It is not the same as the original customs that has to negotiate tax rates with foreigners. Due to the gradual prosperity of Kyaktu, it is also added. The cavalry division strengthened patrols on the border and lured most of the merchants to Kyaktu. Some Russian smugglers who wanted to cross the border secretly had a difficult time. It would be difficult for them to easily enter Chinese territory. So they had no choice but to pay taxes through China's checkpoints and then enter China's territory. Since they could complete their commercial purchases in Kyaktu, they did not have to enter the dangerous and dangerous hinterland of China. The long trade routes can be used to get goods here, so there is no need to go to the mainland of China. As the weather gradually gets warmer, the caravans of various merchants have become more frequent. Those merchants are not only targeting Russia. The sales also greatly facilitated the people in the vast Mongolian region. Chapter 477 Kyaktu prospered again. Text Chapter 478 Another beacon tower was built Chapter 478: Build another beacon. Chapter 478: Build another beacon. At the same time, Nie Qing's troops also gradually expanded. The strength of the entire division has reached more than twice the original number of nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers. Nie Qing redistributed the troops by He, Bater, and Ma Yunlu each led a force of 10,000 people and stationed them separately. The troops were focused on one place and then spread out to the two wings. The troops were still concentrated in battalion units of 500 people. This arrangement was based on the face of Russia and other countries. With Lake Baiga as the center, Russian troops spread out to both sides. They controlled more than 1,500 kilometers of defense areas in the border area. The defense areas were dispersed, but once a situation occurred, support would be provided from both sides. (¡¶¡·) They used many ancient ways to communicate, such as using carrier pigeons and hawks, which is one of them. In addition, they also used cavalry to communicate regularly. They also used an ancient method from the Warring States Period, which was to light beacon fires as soon as there was an alarm. Once the beacon fires were lit, the troops on both wings would move in to support them. At this time, although the Russian tsarist government did not send troops to China to invade us, there were also some bandits and horse bandits from Russia. They originally came to China to rob and harass and destroy some scattered residential areas in Mongolia on our side. . As the power of our army gradually becomes stronger, the bandits and horse bandits cannot take any advantage here at all. The smaller bandits have been wiped out a lot, but their large numbers of bandits are still there, some numbering in the thousands. The whole person is a cavalry unit. Many of them were former officers and soldiers of the Russian army. When a small force encountered them, the battle was difficult to fight, and Nie Qing's troops suffered some losses. However, as Nie Qing's troops gradually grew stronger, At the same time, there was also a relatively fast communication method. The troops on both sides arrived quickly. Coupled with the strong firepower of their own troops, the horse bandits and bandits never took advantage again. Li Zhenhua finally had his hands free again. He wanted to pay attention to agricultural issues. Food is a big deal in any society. As the saying goes: "Without agriculture, there will be no stability, no industry, no wealth, no business, and no life." Once food appears, This problem will affect the stability of the country. Now that the summer grain has been harvested, it is time to take care of the autumn harvest. Although the work has already been handed over to Sun Wen, he should also take a look. He called Sun Wen and asked about it. They said that the minister had just returned from a trip. Li Zhenhua hurriedly asked them where your minister had been. They said he had gone to Henan. Li Zhenhua knows that Henan has been a major agricultural province in history, so let's listen to his situation first and understand the situation of his going there. Minister Sun arrived soon. Li Zhenhua seemed to think that he was a little thin, so he said to him with concern: "You must pay attention to your health. Don't tire your body out. You must pay attention to rest and don't just focus on work." Minister Sun agreed happily. That's right. I'll go there and have a good harvest. I see that this year's harvest is a foregone conclusion. Generally speaking, this year's harvest is pretty good. The crop harvests in various places are generally growing well. It is estimated that this year should be a bumper year. There are no particularly big natural disasters. It's all relying on It will be much better if we have a good year for food. Many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled. Especially this year, the agricultural tax has been reduced by half. The people are very happy. ¡°Furthermore, when a country is newly established, the people are in a good mood. Plus, the new emperor is always thinking about the people and doesn¡¯t have so much indemnity. Isn¡¯t that bad? People also have a lot more money in their hands, which naturally makes everyone feel better. Officials at all levels from the province to the local government often go to the countryside to greet the people and greet their parents. The main reason is that they often go to the fields to interact with the people and their parents. This didn't happen before. The enthusiasm of the people is naturally much higher. Their own land can bring in a lot more food. Why don't they farm it well? After listening to Minister Sun's explanation, Li Zhenhua was very happy. Agriculture is the foundation of all walks of life. As long as there is food, everything will be easy. If there is no food, people will be in chaos. If there is no need for outsiders to come in, something may happen to them. . He used to farm and knew the difficulties faced by farmers, so Li Zhenhua was very concerned about farmers. He said to Minister Sun: "We should pay more attention to the sufferings of farmers and see what their needs are. Then we should try our best to meet their needs. Agriculture is the foundation of a country. Without agriculture, the country will not be stable. Farmers caused by famines in history Uprisings are the most common and we need to have a clear understanding." Li Zhenhua asked Sun Wen to rest at home for a few days and then asked him to go to Beidahuang in the Northeast to see a pilot program of intensive management there and then promote it nationwide. Sun Wen happily agreed that there should be a country's own production base, which is very necessary to stabilize the country, so he hurriedly put all his family's products into stock.After finishing some work, he and Li Zhenhua set off to Beidahuang in the northeast. The Great Northern Wilderness in the Northeast is a piece of black land, which plays a very important role in the world's food cultivation. There are three large pieces of black land in the world: one in Alaska in the United States, one in Ukraine, and one in China. This is still an undeveloped virgin land. There is a saying that goes: "beat the roe deer with a stick, scoop up the fish and pheasant and fly it into the rice pot." There are not many people here now, but a small team has already arrived. Their leader is a The officer who was injured in the battle against the Russian army was named He Yongjun. It turned out that he was a battalion commander in the army. His original intention was to be a soldier forever. However, he lost his left arm due to injury in the battle. However, he was unwilling to support himself from now on. He continued to ask for a job. Later, the report reached Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua saw it. After thinking about it, I decided to give him a task, which was to let him stay in the Northeast and after he recovered from his injuries, he went to the Great Northern Wilderness to develop a large area of ??land there. When he got there, Li Zhenhua saw the one-armed hero. When He Yongjun saw the emperor coming in person, he immediately ran forward and saluted Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua returned the salute, hugged him cordially, then took his hand and asked, "How are you doing?" Are the wounds healed? Are you getting used to it? "Your Majesty, it's good for us here. You can see that our land has begun to bear fruit." He Yongjun replied excitedly. Chapter 478 Another beacon tower was built Text Chapter 479: The Independence of the Farm Chapter 479: Independence on the Farm Chapter 479: Independence on the Farm Li Zhenhua followed his hand and looked into the distance, only to see that the corn in the distance had thrown out big cobs. Li Zhenhua walked towards the field with a few of them and arrived at the field. On the side, he broke open an ear of corn with his hands and saw that even the tips were growing well. Li Zhenhua said to them, "Well done. You have won a battle this year. Next year, we will increase investment for you and mobilize a batch of tractors to help those in agriculture." Machinery plays a greater role. " He Yongjun said that we don't have too few people. We only have more than a hundred people, and most of them are disabled soldiers like me." After hearing this, Li Zhenhua didn't say anything and came to their residence with him. Now their residence has been built. He got up, but the conditions were still a little worse. At this time, he heard the sound of banging steel outside. Li Zhenhua looked outside and saw a man banging a shell shell. He Yongjun said to him, Your Majesty, that is our meal bell. " "Okay, let's go have dinner together. " "That's not possible. We are not prepared." "Whether I am prepared or not, I am just like you. If you can eat, I can also eat and take away. "After that, Li Zhenhua led the way out of their dormitory and walked towards the cafeteria. As soon as he entered the cafeteria, He Yongjun shouted and everyone stood up." There was a sound of chairs and everyone stood up. Li Zhenhua walked in and saw the wounded veterans. Standing there, his heart felt hot and he said to everyone, "Please sit down, everyone," but Li Zhenhua did not sit down. The others could not sit down, but they still stood there. Li Zhenhua went and gently pressed the soldiers to sit down. He looked at people's rice bowls and the staple food on the table were all filled with coarse grains. When he saw that the food bowls were filled with pickles, Li Zhenhua felt very uncomfortable. He sat down and started eating without saying anything. People all started eating there. After a while, he finished two black steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup. Then he stood up and walked to the kitchen. He wanted to see if there was anything in the kitchen, but he didn't. It made him even more sad to see that there was some food on the table and there was not much left in the kitchen. Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not want to eat, He Yongjun also stood up and followed Li Zhenhua. He had already noticed it. His Majesty the Emperor was very unhappy. Returning to He Yongjun's dormitory, Li Zhenhua asked rudely how long you have been living like this. "Your Majesty, we are not a front-line army. We can't just eat and not create wealth for the country." "No, you are the heroes of the country. You should eat better than them." Li Zhenhua didn't waste any time and immediately asked his secretary to contact Zhang Zuolin and the governor of Heilongjiang, asking them to immediately provide the farm with the best combat troops. The standard delivery method is almost impossible to tell them that I will wait here. When He Yongjun saw that the emperor was angry, he did not dare to say anything anymore and had to listen to the emperor. He asked a guard to go to the car outside and unload all the food he brought with him. The guard drove their supply truck and unloaded all the food they brought this time into the kitchen. Then they helped the soldiers. Get busy. Seeing that the soldiers all went to help them, Li Zhenhua said to He Yongjun, old man, you can't resent others. They are all mine. I am you, and you are enduring hardship, but I didn't expect you to be so hard. You were injured for the survival of the country, and you Still living in such a difficult environment. "Sun Wen asked them how many people there are in total?" "One hundred and twenty-eight people." "How much wasteland have you reclaimed in total?" "More than two hundred and fifty acres of land." "Yeah, two acres per person." "Where are the lands you reclaimed?" "We just used two hands." Li Zhenhua stepped forward and grabbed He Yongjun's remaining hand. Li Zhenhua asked, "You also reclaimed two." acres of land? " "I want to report to His Majesty the Emperor that our battalion commander also reclaimed two acres of land and we worked on it separately. "After Li Zhenhua heard this, he hugged He Yongjun tightly in his arms. Li Zhenhua's tears wet He Yongjun's shoulders. Sun Wen, the Minister of Agriculture next to him, also shed tears. These are such good people. They are serving the country. Instead of enjoying happiness, the people are willing to suffer here and work hard for the country to produce more food. "Your Majesty, don't do this. I am a farmer. It is under your leadership that I have enough to eat now." This way I feel very good and don't feel like I am suffering. " "Old man, please stop saying that I don't care enough about you. I will definitely care about you in the future. " If Li Zhenhua really doesn't leave, he and Sun Wen will stay with the farmland soldiers during the day.After working in the evening, I and He Yongjun studied the plan for next year. Now the soldiers also have pork and white flour as staple food on their dining tables. The soldiers were very happy to eat and work together with His Majesty the Emperor. This is not a blessing that everyone has. In the evening, they worked out the plan for the farm together. Next year, they will purchase 15 tractors and open up another 5,000 acres of land. The number of personnel will increase to about 1,000. This will eliminate the need for people to feed horses and leave enough seeds every year. Hand over two million catties of grain to the country. In the future, we still need to find ways to grow rice and other cash crops. Li Zhenhua said to Sun Wen that we need to find ways to cultivate some rice that can grow in the Northeast. In addition, we also need to produce chemical fertilizers and engage in field irrigation construction to ensure that the water supply is only Only in this way can we ensure an increase in food production. " "At the same time, you need to raise more pigs, cows, and sheep, and grow more vegetables so that people can live a better life. In another year, I will transfer these cadres of yours and let them build more farms to produce more food. At the same time, you should also engage in deep processing of grain, such as wine making, which can increase the income of your farms. The country will also give you money when purchasing your grain, so that your production will be better. " Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's narration, people were full of thoughts about life and asked He Yongjun. If so, wouldn't our farm be better than those workers?" Chapter 479 The Independence of the Farm Chapter 479 The Independence of the Farm Text Chapter 480 Establishing a University of Science and Technology/Chapter 481 Punishing the old Han bureaucracy Chapter 480 Establishing a University of Science and Technology "That's what it's like. Otherwise, if you have worked hard and lived a hard life, you will not be as good as the workers. Wouldn't that make producers lose confidence? Our country is to make all our people rich. All you need to do is work." Of course, you must get paid. If you don¡¯t work, there will be nothing you can do. If you starve, no one will pity you.¡± Li Zhenhua used this period to visit some local farmers¡¯ homes and learn about the local area. The customs and folk sentiments of those people are quite acceptable. In short, this used to be a place where the Emperor Tiangao was far away and no one cared about it. Now it has changed dynasties and people's lives have not changed much. But relatively speaking, people's cultural knowledge level is very low. Most of the people here are illiterate. This is not possible. They must improve their lives as soon as possible. Their cultural level must be improved. People don't know much about him as the emperor, but they are the emperor. Those brave soldiers drove away the Russian army. Some of them also participated in the battle. Who led them to defeat the Russian army. Although they don't know much about the New Deal, they At least there aren't those ruthless officials coming here to demand taxes. Seeing the life of the locals, Li Zhenhua felt that the management here was quite backward and he had to send some young and responsible officials to manage it. These officials were meticulous and had to take the people's sufferings into their hearts. Now the locals are digging up medicinal materials. , The skins harvested during hunting must be purchased by someone. We cannot let those black-hearted businessmen continue to deceive them and organize an official purchasing team to come down and purchase the skins in their hands. If possible, we need to mobilize them to move and live together. If they are sick, they will not be sacrificed needlessly due to delays for various reasons. There are also children's education, etc. These are all things that need to be considered. In the future, the farm will expand. Even a little bit of land needs to be concentrated. Even though people are not aware of the state-owned assets now, we have to gradually let people understand it. There are still insufficient cadres, so let¡¯s first select them from the army. Those bloody soldiers will be very good to our compatriots. As long as the leadership from above is good, there will be no big problems from below. If a leading cadre at the county level puts his heart and soul into If you put it on the common people, the people on this side will benefit. To carry out this aspect of work, identify some representative officials across the country and praise and encourage them in a big way to make greater achievements. A few days later, Zhang Zuolin sent a convoy to deliver a large amount of supplies to them, all of which were distributed according to the standards of combat troops. Zhang Zuolin also knew that it would be impossible without food. People worked hard to grow food there, and the labor intensity was very high, especially Some of the people there are heroes who work hard and have great achievements. No one has to ensure their food, otherwise the emperor will have a hard time. Zhang Zuolin was very smart. He also sent some officers and soldiers to help the workers on these farms to help them with their work. After increasing the manpower, there should be no large increase in population and labor force. Only when the population increases and the labor force becomes larger can there be a large amount of output. Seeing that the farm's supply problem was solved, Li Zhenhua and Sun Wen smiled happily and left. However, they continued to plan for this problem on the train. First, they needed enough labor to equip the machines and their experience. What is already there is to further expand agricultural construction here with great fanfare using their model as a sample. They must be supported in all aspects and a scientific research institution must be established to cultivate food crops, cotton, oilseeds and other crops. The research is to increase the yield, improve their adaptability, and further process the grains. Later generations of rice have been planted as far north as Mohe. Now there are only ideas that are not working, and a group of agricultural scientists are needed. Just relying on traditional methods is not enough. We must dare to innovate and take the road that others have not taken. We must also find ways to introduce some good foreign crop varieties. Agricultural science and technology is mainly at the grassroots level, but there must also be some senior agricultural science and technology personnel. Beijing used to focus more on military-industrial enterprises, but now the situation requires more management, so a comprehensive science and technology site must be established in Beijing. Li Zhenhua discussed his idea with Sun Wen. Sun Wen was very interested and he also agreed to set up an agricultural science and technology university in Beijing to conduct research on cutting-edge science in various fields and provide paid services. If there is no financial income, then the state will support it first. Let¡¯s talk about it after the income is reached. It was just an idea on the train, but after arriving in Beijing, the idea became completely clear. Li Zhenhua immediately invited all the leaders in Beijing to discuss the establishment of a scientific research institution. His proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and he decided to establish it in Beijing immediately. A university of science and technology will include key issues in various fields such as steel smelting, purification and fuel conservation, comprehensive utilization of coal, research and development of petroleum products, electronics industry, automobile industry, water power, electricity, shipbuilding industry, aviation industry, etc. About the military industry?Let them work on it together and then decide whether to merge or not depends on the situation. ??To establish a national arms research base, let them set up a research base at Tianjin University at Tianjin University. The Tianjin University Science and Technology School will use them as the main research base to specialize in weapons research. After the meeting, all relevant departments immediately took action and began to make necessary preparations. In addition, Li Zhenhua reminded everyone that our labor force is still insufficient, so we must find ways to enable women to participate in labor, create wealth for society, and increase income for families. In this regard, those Manchus The reason why people are doing better is that their families have lost their original fixed income and have to go out to work so that the whole family can have enough to eat. Another reason is that the original Manchus were not as feudal as the original Han people. There are some women working in some places now. Aren¡¯t all the textile workers in the south female workers? Some teachers, journalists, business and other industries have women. Now if that¡¯s not enough, then we should carry out publicity and encouragement in a big way to get more women to work. After the liberation of the family, government officials, military family members, intellectuals, businessmen, etc. from all over the country must take the lead in mobilizing family members to come out to work. At the same time, they must also support the education of girls. Teachers at the grassroots level should do more work in this area. Well, for those families with children at home, it would be enough to make more visits and have girls go to school slowly. Chapter 481: Punishing the Old Han Bureaucrats Dear leaders of the Government Affairs Council, this change is still very effective. They can handle the problems found very well. For the following work, they have made great fanfare for officials who can conscientiously implement the above policies. At the same time, we praise some officials who are far behind the situation and have the courage to deal with them. Feng Guozhang, who went to Guangdong, is a typical example. Guangzhou in Guangdong has long been the most active area for Westernization work. In addition, Li Zhenhua's Xinghua Company first started here in Guangdong and Guangxi. After the establishment of the new Chinese Empire, people felt happy in their hearts, but there were always some people whose thoughts were still stuck in satisfaction. The attitude of the Qing government. Liu Baolin, the supreme leader of the Huizhou region, is now known as Mayor Liu of Huizhou. He is such a person. Although the dynasty has changed, he is still using the same practices as those of the Qing Dynasty. act. After receiving the relevant orders from above, he still used the original method to let the people below him do it. Liu Baolin just drank a little wine every day and never seriously carried out the work assigned by above. Although the provincial capital was not far away, the provincial governor was his old boss. He has never paid much attention to it. He will only send a generous gift to the governor when the time comes, but he will just muddle through his work every day and still eat and take what he needs to take. After Feng Guozhang arrived in Guangdong Province, he did not stay long before going to Guangxi because there were many things in Guangxi that he wanted to see on behalf of Li Zhenhua. Especially the work of Fangcheng has been at the forefront in the country. He must pay attention to it, so he went to Fangcheng City in Guangxi without much delay. When Liu Baolin found out, he was very happy. He thought that Feng Guozhang, the imperial envoy, would not come back. Just like every day, he continued to drink his small wine and often went to the brothel to have a good time and drink. A group of his subordinates also followed their own preferences and continued to find him beautiful women to win his favor. But one thing started to give him a headache. Because here is an open policy, many foreigners came here to invest and do business, which also created greater income for the local area. However, an Englishman came to Huizhou from Hong Kong and he fell in love with it. I obtained the location of a Chinese shop through secret operations such as giving gifts. Originally, the Chinese owner of this shop was not very well run, but he was unwilling to give up a shop to foreigners. However, after some people from the government threatened and lured him, he gave up his preparations for arguing with the other party. The Haoxia shop was transferred, but the owner's child was named Lin Jixian. He was studying at Guangzhou University and was studying economics and management. It happened that he returned to his home in Huizhou during the school holidays. Seeing that his family was preparing to close the shop, he hurriedly asked what was going on. His father told him about the situation. Lin Jixian was a filial child. He had not been too involved in his father's shop because he was in school, but he had already prepared to wait. After he graduated and his father got older, he planned to run the shop by himself in the future. Now that his father wanted to close the shop, he expressed his different opinions. However, his father told him about the threats and inducements from the government. His father thought it was because his arms could not twist his thighs, so he had to admit it. However, it was related to the food problem of his family in the future. Lin Jixian told his father this. The importance of a store and your plan to use this problem store to realize your dream. After hearing his son's plan, the old man regretted it a little, but since he had already agreed to hand over the shop, he was a little undecided. However, due to the persistence of his son and his wife, the old man was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed to wait until the next day to explain to the British. My store is no longer??Gived. The next day, Lao Lintou saw the British people who came to take over the store and said to them: "I will no longer transfer this store and leave it to my children to run it." The angry British people immediately rushed him to the Huizhou City Hall to ask him for advice. The mayor who had bribed him went to blackmail him. Seeing such a cunning person going back on his promise, Mr. Liu immediately became angry. If the transfer failed, it would be difficult for him to take other people's money. He immediately ordered his soldiers to arrest Lao Lintou. It is impossible for such people who go back on their word not to be strictly disciplined. This matter of arresting people has become a big deal. Although the Lin family promised at first and later regretted what they did, something was wrong. As a local official, you can do your job well, but you can't arrest people immediately. But because of this, Liu Baolin still used The Qing Dynasty's behavior is that he thinks he is the boss here and there is no need to do work for him. If you go back on your word, you will be unreasonable and unruly. When the court came to court, Mr. Lin thought that it was the Chinese Empire and the dynasty had changed. It was wrong for you to be like this. He also stiffened and refused to agree to the transfer. The British were stubborn about the problem. Mr. Liu looked at himself very passively. His face had been lost, so he punished this "difficult man". But he didn't expect that Mr. Lin died suddenly. So Mr. Liu immediately ordered his men to arrest Lin Jixian, who came to the city hall again to complain, and asked his men to block the news and prevent it from spreading. The matter will be resolved after a long timetable. However, there is no airtight wall. The incident spread quickly. Soon the newspaper in Guangzhou also published the incident. The matter suddenly became a big deal. Feng Guozhang, who was inspecting Guangxi, knew about it, and his work in Guangxi ended. After that, he returned to Guangzhou again to learn about the situation from local officials. The officials in Guangzhou, who were serving as officials at the same time as Liu Baolin, were somewhat protective of each other. Feng Guozhang did not understand the real situation. Feng Guozhang immediately understood that there was a problem, so he immediately sent his personnel to Huizhou to understand the situation. Quickly understand the whole story clearly. Because Feng Guozhang often worked with Li Zhenhua and knew about Li Zhenhua's temper, he immediately rushed to Huizhou in person. Liu Baolin was having fun with several women from a brothel. When he heard the news that Feng Guozhang had arrived in Huizhou, he was immediately frightened and hurriedly summoned his officials to discuss countermeasures and how to escape the disaster. Text Chapter 482 Punishing old bureaucrats (2) Chapter 482 Punishing the old bureaucrats (2) Chapter 482 Punishing the old bureaucrats (2) Chapter 482 Punishing the old bureaucrats (2) People under Mayor Liu Baolin also all know that Feng Guozhang is His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s most trustworthy subordinate. The general has never seen such a thing. Libukasa also felt that the problem was serious. They discussed together for a long time and got a result, which was "officials don't give gifts." They immediately prepared a generous gift to give to Feng Guozhang. A group of officials under his command left the mayor's private residence one after another, but a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stayed behind. This man was Liu Baolin's fellow villager named Liu Ermao. He whispered to Liu Baolin. Liu Baolin was shocked and hurriedly asked Ermao, is this good? This is a serious crime of decapitation. " Liu Ermao said, "Sir, do you think Feng Guozhang can let you go?" "Bu Tiao". Liu Baolin nodded with a very ugly face, thought deeply for a while, and said to Liu Ermao, it seems that he has no choice but to keep this as a back-up, so let's do it without stopping. You will be ready tonight. If today's gift-giving fails, we will kill him. . "Liu Ermao came to give gifts to Feng Guozhang on behalf of his fellow countryman Liu Baolin, but what he didn't expect was that Feng Guozhang's tiger eyes stared at Liu Ermao who came to give gifts. He stared at Liu Ermao for three full minutes, frightening Liu Ermao who was sent by Liu Baolin. Even though it was winter, Liu Ermao looked like he had been fished out of water. Liu Ermao thought he was going to be finished. General Feng was not an ordinary ruthless person during the war against the Japanese. He was laughing and talking. The fire burned tens of thousands of Japanese troops to death. Unexpectedly, Feng Guozhang smiled slightly and said to him, "You are here to deliver a gift for Mayor Liu." Liu Ermao hurriedly said that our Lord Mayor has been unwell recently, but I heard that you can't come. When I came out, I hurriedly sent a young man to give you a small gift, hoping that you would accept it. " Feng Guozhang laughed loudly and said, since it has been sent, then accept it. Then please rest in peace and come to see me tomorrow." "Thank you, sir, and I will take my leave." Originally, he wanted to kowtow, but when he thought of the new The government had already said many times that no more kowtows were allowed in the future, so he did not kneel down, kowtow, clasped his fists in salute to Feng Guozhang and then withdrew. Two of the entourage around Feng Guozhang came forward and told Feng Guozhang that this boy was not a good person, and that Liu Baolin's failure to do business every day was all caused by his group of people. We came two days in advance and already figured out everything about this kid. If we were to behead him, he would be indispensable. ¡± Most of Feng Guozhang¡¯s guards are his fellow Hejian residents. Hejian has long been the hometown of martial arts. People like to practice martial arts in their spare time. This is also a custom similar to the situation in Cangzhou. Several of his guards are also They are martial arts masters. Even the masters under Li Zhenhua often practice and compete with each other. Feng Guozhang and several counselors are also quite outstanding figures. For senior officials like them, there are some hometown people who are Li Zhenhua, but he is. He didn't say that after all, these people were talented people. At this time, several people gathered together to express their opinions on Liu Ermao's performance. One of the staff members, Feng Jie, said, "I think they are going to make some noise tonight." If you don't let them figure out our details, they might do something wrong. We should make some preparations." A person next to me also said that I also agree that we need to be prepared tonight, otherwise we will let them do it. The chief's reputation will be damaged. "Feng Guozhang himself is very bold. He smiled and said it's not amazing. I don't believe they are so bold." Staff Feng Jie said it was still good. " Feng Guozhang smiled and agreed. Then he waved his hand and said to a few people, "Let's go out for a walk to understand the public sentiment." So a few people walked out of the hotel door and walked outside, followed by several security guards. Go out and smell it. Seeing them go out, a man came out of the hotel and followed them quietly. Feng Guozhang and his entourage walked around the street for a while. A guard said to Feng Jie, "Commander Feng, there is someone following us." "Feng Jie had already caught the people behind him. He calmly said to the guard. He has never been to the south. Take a good look at you and your brothers and you will be blown away." Then he whispered to him, be careful not to let the people behind you know. figure it out. " Feng Guozhang pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said to people, let's just eat there and have a taste of the food culture of the south. " Several people stopped in front of the restaurant and were greeted by an enthusiastic boss. He saw These people were very generous and politely said to a few people, "Please come in." Feng Jie stepped forward and said to Yuan Mian, "Find a quiet place for us. We have many people. Please bring us your Guangzhou specialties." After hearing these people If they are all bosses from the north,?I changed to the unfamiliar northern Mandarin and told them that our private room upstairs is clean and quiet, so they are satisfied. " Seeing that people could understand what the boss said, Feng Guozhang had a new understanding of the "speech homophony" required by His Majesty the Emperor. Following the boss, several people went upstairs. Feng Guozhang and others entered the private room. Feng Jie said to the boss, "Brother The special dishes here are served to us and we want to have a few drinks here." The guards who were left behind also found a place to sit down outside. As soon as a few people sat down, they formed a protective posture inside. Feng Jie came out to confront them. The guard who just looked at me winked, and the man nodded to show his understanding. He sat in front of the window and observed the movement on the street. I saw the man following him also entered the restaurant and sat down below, ordering wine and a plate of peanuts. Alone already drank. But his eyes were always looking up. Feng Jie couldn't help but said in his heart, you are too unprofessional to follow him. How can an old man like you see even a layman? You are staring at people. " It was very late when they stopped drinking. Several people on the road seemed to have drunk too much. They were swaying and talking loudly as they walked towards the hotel. Feng Guozhang smiled and cursed at several people and said, you guys only drank so much. It doesn't work anymore. Don't follow me out to drink next time. It's not embarrassing enough to be with you." Several people said and laughed and returned to the hotel. Soon the lights in their room were extinguished, leaving only Feng Guozhang's window still lit. With. A man hurriedly headed in the direction of Liu Baolin's house. Chapter 482 Punishing the old bureaucrats (2) Chapter 482 Punishing the old bureaucrats (2) Text Chapter 483 Punishing old bureaucrats (3) Chapter 483 Punishing the old bureaucrats (3) Chapter 483 Punishing the old bureaucrats (3) Seeing the man slip away to report to Liu Baolin, a guard returned to Feng Guozhang's house and reported to him, "The target has left, probably to Liu Baolin." "The report is gone." Feng Guozhang smiled slightly and said to him, "Let everyone rest. We must be vigilant at some secret sentries everywhere. We must strengthen our attention during the operation. We must find a way to capture a few living witnesses. This is a living witness. We cannot just be happy." Kill them all. " "It's the chief and we have made arrangements. We will definitely leave a few more people alive. "The lights everywhere were extinguished one after another, but the sentries in the dark kept their eyes wide open and stared at the surrounding environment. They would not let any suspicious targets miss. They were quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait. In Liu Baolin's inner room, he was waiting for the people below to come to report the situation. His confidant Liu Ermao was sitting quietly. He didn't dare to succeed or fail at this moment. If he succeeds today, he can avoid this disaster. If he fails, It's over, but things have reached this point and there is no room for retreat. The road has become dark. Finally, a servant came in and said to Liu Baolin, "Let him come in quickly." "The servant went out immediately. After a while, he led a person in. When the person saw Liu Baolin, he called him and said, "Master, all the people staying in the hotel have fallen asleep. They did not behave abnormally." " "Has the leader also rested? "Don't jump." "The lights in the room without him are still on, but they drank a lot today and I guess he must have fallen asleep." " "Their sentries are arranged? "Liu Ermao asked immediately. "There is only one person at the door of the yard. The rest of them don't have other sentries. " Liu Baolin said happily, "Okay, boy, if you can't do it anymore, let Ermao get you ten dollars in cash." "This is what I should do. Thank you for the reward." Liu Baolin said to Liu Ermao, Ermao, you can find it. Is the person reliable? Are they ready? " "My lords are all ready to ensure success. They have invited masters from Hong Kong who are all murderous masters and promise not to leave a single person alive. " "Someone who can't stay will do bad things if he stays. "Liu Baolin felt relieved. He was still a little nervous just now. Now they are not on guard at all. His mood has improved. As long as he kills them all in the middle of the night, the public security situation above is not good and they have no evidence. It's not like that. But this kid is so ambitious that he dares to attack such a big shot. He doesn't even think that Feng Guozhang is not an ordinary person. How about the word "Zhihuan" in the middle of the night It's dark around the clock? Only the little bits of light from the crescent moon in the sky were everywhere. Quietly, a group of masked men in black appeared outside the hotel. The leader was Liu Baolin's man Liu Ermao. When he got there, he lowered his voice and faced the men in black. The masked man said: "My lord is usually very kind to you. Today, my lord has used you. Everyone must work together. When things are done, my lord will reward you greatly. I will be here waiting for good news from you." " One person said angrily, sir, this is not the first time we have done this kind of thing. Don't worry. We are very capable of dealing with these people today. Sir, you are too good. Just wait for our good news. We will be there soon." said After he finished, he waved his hands to his brothers and they quickly built a ladder. First, he lifted one person up to the wall that was more than 1 meter high. The person turned around and lowered the rope around his waist, and then pulled two people up. They He quietly reached the door, opened it gently, and all the men in black went in. A man in black whispered to their leader. The small building in the northwest corner behind is where they live. During the day, I have stepped on it. No one else lives there. They only have a dozen people living together. Let's surround it and then Kill them from all sides and make sure they don't have any defenses. " "Okay, let's go separate ways. It's better not to chop them all off with a gun. Cut off their ears and hand them over to Lao San and me. The rest of the people will return to Hong Kong immediately and they will vigorously search for them at dawn. "Those men in black quietly walked towards the small building at the back together. Soon they were around the small building and were ready. Their leader stood in front of the door and saw that his brothers were all ready. He turned to a The men said, "pull the door open and rush in without leaving anyone alive." A man in black took out a knife and inserted it into the crack of the door. He was about to start to open the door. Suddenly, a bright light shone on them and a majestic voice came from behind. Raise your hands and don't move around. If anyone touches me??Let him fall under my gun immediately. " Before the voice fell, several more bolts of lightning were fired at more than twenty masked men in black. They were all exposed under the beam of the flashlight. Those people were stunned and immediately reflexively tried to get out of the way and ran back. One boy had fast legs, but he continued The bullets were not flying as fast as the gunshot, and the man fell to the ground. Then he hugged his thighs and screamed. The man's screams did not frighten the other people. Some of them started to rush toward the door regardless, but with the sound of several gunshots, they all fell to the ground and cried loudly. A kid in the back was about to take out a gun and a bullet broke his hand. Seeing their situation, the majestic voice came again: "I told you not to move, but you didn't listen. If anyone else wants to run, then run, let me see how many legs you have?" I guess which one of you can run faster than my gun? "The men in black no longer dared to move. Only the injured ones were moaning softly. Liu Ermao, who was waiting for news outside the gate, heard the gunshots and cries from within the wall. His matter was over. When he failed, he turned around and ran back. As he ran, he looked back and saw that no one was catching up. He was relieved and realized that Master Liu's house was in front of him. He was completely relieved, but just when he was about to step in front of the door. When he was walking down the steps, he heard a sound coming from behind. Before he could react, he saw a dark shadow flash and he lost consciousness. Chapter 483: Punishing the old bureaucrats (3) Chapter 483: Punishing the old bureaucrats (3). Text Chapter 484 Punishing old bureaucrats (4) Chapter 484 Punishing the Old Bureaucrats (4) Chapter 484 Punishing the Old Bureaucrats (4) Liu Ermao, who was waiting for news outside the gate, heard the gunshots and screams coming from the wall. His matter had completely failed. He turned around He ran back and looked back when no one was catching up with him. He was relieved and realized that Master Liu's house was in front of him. He was also completely relieved. But just when he was about to step on the steps in front of the door, he heard something behind him. There was a sound of wind, and before he could react, he saw a black shadow flash and he lost consciousness. Rainbow Wen ihong Feng Jie came to Feng Guozhang¡¯s house and said to him that the chief, a total of seventeen people, none of them slipped through the net. They were all captured alive. I have already interrogated them. They were entrusted by Liu Baolin to kill the chief. Liu Ermao was also arrested in front of Liu Baolin¡¯s door. The man we were waiting for was caught and now we have Liu Ermao in custody. He has also confessed that Liu Baolin asked him to come. " "Okay, then let's go to Mr. Liu's house. Don't let him set off as soon as he gets scared and commits suicide. This kind of person must not let him escape our trial. " " Let's set off immediately. "The group of people headed towards Liu Baolin's home. In front of his front door, Feng Guozhang said to Feng Jie, let him call the door." Feng Jie pushed Liu Ermao forward and said to him, be honest. If you are not honest, I will be behind. Stab you with a knife. "Liu Ermao had long been frightened by these people and hurriedly said, I am honest, I am honest, I must be honest." Liu Ermao stepped forward and opened the door easily, but the person who opened the door immediately realized that something was wrong. Those who came in The men were all fierce northern men, and they all didn't just let Liu Ermao lead them straight to Liu Baolin's back house. At this time, Liu Baolin was uneasy about the consequences of his actions at this time, but as soon as he heard the messy footsteps coming from outside the door, he was already finished. He pushed the nave painting to the side and took out a small medicine bottle from there. He opened the lighter and was about to pour medicine out of the bottle when he heard a gust of wind. A man had already put the medicine bottle in his hand. The medicine bottle was taken away. "I've been working for a long time, and now I remember that it's too late to die." At this time, Feng Guozhang and a group of guards had already arrived in the room. Feng Guozhang looked at the furnishings in the room, then sat down on the Taishi chair and nodded to Feng Jie, "Let's start." "Okay." Feng Jie immediately ordered the security company commander to immediately search Liu Baolin's home and be careful not to let his family move around or scare them. "The soldiers led by the guard company commander immediately began to work. A guard took out a paper and pen from his satchel and sat down. His task was to record, and Feng Jie began to interrogate. Feng Guozhang just watched and dealt with this. A small regional-level official really has no need for him as the deputy prime minister of the Government Affairs Council. After Liu Baolin saw Feng Guozhang, he was completely finished. He did not continue to quibble and explained everything to the guard. Lian's search work has also ended. Lian's cash deposit is over 1.3 million yuan, and he also has some gold and silver jewelry and other properties that have long exceeded his salary. In addition, it has been a crime of unknown origin. When the light came on, his office was in front of him. A security guard reported that the officials had arrived. Feng Guozhang stood up and walked towards the front lobby. Several security guards followed him. When they arrived at the front lobby, Feng Guozhang just glanced at them. After looking at the officials, there was one official who was obviously different from those people. Just seeing the uprightness on his face, Feng Guozhang walked towards the man and asked him, "What's your name?" fast. " "What exactly is your job? " "I am responsible for the financial work. "Feng Guozhang thought about it and said to him. From now on, I want to hand over the job in Huizhou to you for your opinion?" Ou Huozhai's face turned red and he lowered his head and said, Your Excellency, I appreciate it. Although I want to be promoted to a lower official, I still want to be promoted. However, the official's family had difficulties and could not take on this important task. "When Feng Guozhang, who was unwilling to become an official, became interested, he immediately asked, "Do you have any difficulties? Can you tell me about it?" No skipping words. Ou Jingzhai¡¯s face turned even redder. He whispered that his wife died early and his mother was sick in bed. There was nothing extra for him. " "Then why didn't you ask the doctor to take a look? " " Many doctors have been invited but they don't like it. " "Then why don't you go to the hospital in Guangzhou to see it? " "Xiaguan doesn't have that much money. " Ou Jingzhai's words made Feng Guozhang a little confused. As an official in charge of finance, it was unreasonable to say that he had no money to see a doctor for his mother. So Feng Guozhang said to him, then you can take me to your home to see her. " Feng Guozhang must figure out what he doesn't understand. Ou Jingzhai said hurriedly:Your Excellency's home is far away from here. Besides, there is no one at home to clean up the mess. It's better not to go there. " "It doesn't matter, we have a car. "Feng Jie, who had already arrived behind everyone, interrupted. "Ou Jingzhai had no choice but to walk out first. As expected, it took him half an hour to get to Ou Jingzhai's simple home without getting close to the car. District Jingzhai pushed open the fence door of the small courtyard, then stepped back and made an invitation gesture to Feng Guozhang. Feng Guozhang entered the door and came to the yard, and smelled a medicinal smell. Feng Guozhang kept walking inside, and District Jingzhai hurriedly walked in. He took a step forward and stopped Mr. Feng Guozhang. It's better not to go in. The room is very messy. " Feng Guozhang gently pushed him away and entered the room. The room was small and dim. When he came in, he saw an old man lying on the bed. She was too thin to look like she was about to get up when she saw Feng Guozhang coming in. Feng Guozhang hurriedly stepped forward and said to the old man, please don't touch me. You and I are together and I came to see you today. " The old man obviously didn't understand Feng Guozhang's words and said in Cantonese: "I dragged the child down and he died early. I am sick and no one wants to live this miserable life with him. If not, as soon as he goes out, only me and this little granddaughter will be left." "Where's Yaya?" "She went to get me some medicine. Even a six-year-old child can do it," the old man said, wiping his eyes with a dark quilt. Feng Guozhang felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene. He gently pulled Ou Jingzhai with his hand and the two of them came to the yard. Chapter 484 Punishing the old bureaucrats (4) Chapter 484 Punishing the old bureaucrats (4) Text Chapter 485 Punishing old bureaucrats (5) Chapter 485 Punishing the Old Bureaucrats (5) Feng Guozhang felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene. He gently pulled Ou Jingzhai with his hand. When they got to the yard, they said to Ou Jingzhai seriously: "Send the old man to Guangzhou immediately. The old man is already seriously ill. If you don't go, you will be delayed. Leave the old man to me. But I will leave this Huizhou matter to you." Feng Guozhang turned around and said to Feng Jie: "Send the old man away immediately. Go to Xinghua Medical College in Guangzhou and tell them that this is my mother." Feng Jie replied loudly: "Yes." Jingzhai on this side didn't know what to say anymore. He stretched out his hands and hurriedly stopped Feng Guozhang and said: "My lord, I understand what you mean. I will definitely handle the affairs in Huizhou. Don't worry, lord. You don't need to worry about the old man's affairs. I will handle it myself." "If you don't want to call me lord, just call me. Call me brother and tell me your old job. Immediately start taking over the overall work in this area. You must remember that you are not working on your own. You are working here for the people on behalf of the emperor. You must remember not to give me the role of brother. It's okay to be embarrassed." At this time, several guards came in and said to Ou Jingzhai: "The chief, please tell the aunt that we should leave. We will ensure that the aunt is sent to the hospital in the provincial capital safely." At this time, the gate was closed. A little girl of five or six years old appeared. She saw that the yard of her house was full of soldiers. She was obviously a little scared. She quietly hid behind her father and looked at the people behind her. Feng Guozhang squatted down. She smiled at the child and said, "How about you and grandma go to the provincial capital to see grandma for medical treatment?" The little girl's dark eyes were fixed on Feng Guozhang. She knew that this was a good man, so she couldn't help but nodded and said nothing. Ou Jingzhai then remembered that his mother and child didn't even have clean clothes. Feng Guozhang had already seen what Ou Jingzhai was worried about, so he said to him: "You don't have to worry about anything. You will have everything when you get to Guangzhou." There's no need to worry." Ou Jingzhai's tears had already fallen. He said to Feng Guozhang, "What do you want me to say?" "Just don't say anything and get it done and go to the medical school in Guangzhou. Just come and visit your mother." As the car drove away, only dozens of Feng Guozhang's guards were left in the yard. This was the guard platoon leader left by Feng Guozhang to protect him. He came over and said to him: "Chief, we will accept you directly from now on. Let¡¯s go quickly. Let¡¯s get this done quickly so we can go to Guangzhou to visit the elderly.¡± Five days later, Ou Jingzhai, the new mayor of Huizhou, was led by the guards to the hospital where his mother was hospitalized. As soon as we entered the building, we smelled a faint smell of Lysol. A guard said: "The mayor of the district lives in ward 305 on the third floor. Now his condition is much more stable. He can stay there for another ten days." I'll be fine soon after I get out of the hospital and pay more attention." Ou Jingzhai was filled with emotion. The deputy prime minister's eyes were really bright. He could see at a glance that I was willing to work for the people sincerely. But it was because of this. I can't do anything because of the burden of my family. Even the financial work within my own position can't be done because Liu Baolin is in my own hands. Now I finally have a clear understanding of Liu Baolin's case. I didn't sleep last night and completed all the reports early this morning. A guard came over quickly and reported to Feng Guozhang, asking him to come here to visit my mother first and then report on the work. In this way, I must do this job well. No matter how big the difficulties are, I must overcome the huge difficulties and make achievements in Huizhou's work. Otherwise, I will be sorry for the Emperor and the Vice Premier's concern and love for national affairs. . Ou Jingzhai gently pushed open the door of the ward. At a glance, he saw his mother in a hospital gown sitting on the hospital bed. A young nurse was giving her medicine. Next to her, her daughter, who was wearing new clothes and playing with herself, heard the door. When she saw her father coming, she hurriedly called "Dad" and rushed towards him. Ou Jingzhai picked up his daughter and put his daughter's head on his father's shoulder. He said happily: "Dad, grandma and I miss you. Auntie said you were coming today and you really came." The daughter kept talking. Talking. Ou Jingzhai first called "Mother." Then he started to look around at the snow-white walls. Between the two beds was a bedside table and the other bed was the mother's. The other bed must be the daughter's. The attentive nurse also The dignified and beautiful female nurse who put a few flowers on the bedside table blushed slightly when she saw Ou Jingzhai's arrival and said, "Here comes the chief, please sit down. My mother's condition has improved greatly in the past few days. Don't worry about it." "The old lady sitting on the hospital bed also said happily: "Son, you are here these days. Thanks to this girl, Yanzi, who waits on me every day to carry my shit and urine and makes me happy every day. This disease has been mostly cured.These good people would have died if it weren't for their mothers. " "Auntie, this is what we should do. We are dedicated to serving patients. " "Miss, I would like to thank you. "Ou Jingzhai bowed slightly to nurse Yanzi. The nurse's face turned red: "You're welcome, Chief. You're busy with work and can't stay by the patient's side, so we should help you. You take a good rest and I'll go talk to the doctor and let him introduce you to aunt's condition. " Seeing the female nurse stand up and go out to lie on Ou Jingzhai's body, her daughter immediately said: "Auntie, I want to go too. After saying that, she slipped off Ou Jingzhai's body. The nurse said to Ou Jingzhai: "Chief, please talk to the aunt and I will take the child out." "Seeing that his daughter and the nurse were so disrespectful, Ou Jingzhai had no choice but to let his daughter go. He came to his mother's side, sat down and asked with concern: "Mom, you look much better, how do you feel about yourself? ah? " "It's really much better, kid, don't worry. I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried about how much it will cost to treat my illness, take medicine and live here." How can we repay this money to others in the future? "The guard standing aside spoke: "Ma'am, you don't have to worry about this. Firstly, it doesn't cost much. Secondly, the salary of the district mayor will be quite high in the future. Besides, the money you spend in hospital all the time. It's the money our chief spends, so you don't have to worry about it. " Text Chapter 486 Punishing old bureaucrats (6) Chapter 486 Punishing the Old Bureaucrats (6) When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly said: "This can't be done. Your chief has saved my life. How can you let him spend money? Son, you can't let that chief spend money. You must give the money to the chief. ""Don't worry, sir, I will definitely return the money to the chief." The old lady pulled Ou Jingzhai's hand and asked him to put his ear to the guard next to him. The couple had something to say and said hurriedly: "You guys talk first while I go out." After saying that, they walked to the door and closed the door gently. When the old lady saw that there was no one around, she said to Ou Jingzhai, "Son, what do you think of this girl, Yanzi?" Ou Jingzhai said to his mother without thinking about anything else, "I think it's good. She's been very attentive and considerate to you." Yaya's relationship is also very good. What's wrong? " "You are just a blockhead. It would be much better if you had such a person as your wife. She knows how to care for others. We, the three generations, have been cultivated in the past life. What a blessing." After saying this, the old lady began to wipe her red eyes again. When Ou Jingzhai heard this, he hurriedly said: "Mom, this is not okay. I have just been an official of the new government for only two days. I don't dare to think about it. Besides, the girl doesn't know what she means. I have a daughter here." It would be wrong for someone to treat her like a house-filler. " "Mom, let's talk about this later. It won't be good if others find out. " The old lady had to sigh and talk about it later. But in the old lady's heart, she didn't know. I didn't let this matter go. Ou Jingzhai came to the hotel where Feng Guozhang was staying. Feng Guozhang was busy there. He saw Ou Jingzhai coming and asked him to sit down. He first asked about the old man's condition with concern, and then started to talk to him about Liu Baolin's case and various information. Everything has been completed. First, if it is to cause death, let him die. In addition, attacking the leader of the country is also a capital crime, just like the original rebellion. Feng Guozhang has already reported to Li Zhenhua in Beijing. Li Zhenhua's attitude is very clear, which is to deal with it seriously and quickly, with the purpose of cracking down and educating a large number of people, letting the broad masses know about this problem and making Liu Baolin's crimes public. Ou Jingzhai also directly said that not killing was not enough to make the people angry, so if he killed, he would hold two public sentencing meetings in two places, one in Huizhou and one in Guangzhou, so that the impact of this incident would be greater. Seeing Ou Jingzhai's ability to think and work efficiently in handling this matter, Li Zhenhua also agreed to directly let him serve as the mayor of Huizhou. He knew that with Feng Guozhang's ability, the person he liked was not capable. Incorrect. But through this incident, the governor of Guangdong Province must also be given a beating so that he can learn a lesson about what happened to his old subordinates. Those who deserve to be killed must be killed as the new regime will not tolerate the existence of such people. Two verdicts were soon issued in Guangzhou and Huizhou, which sounded the alarm to officials across the country and stopped them from thinking of ways to seek benefits for themselves and put national laws aside. At the same time, Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang also felt that in order to further educate officials at all levels, they should also build a corresponding school to let new and old officials go to school to study and provide them with a second education. If they continue to do the same thing as before, people will soon have to do it a second time. It turns out that the Xinhai that was done was due to incompleteness. The country has been in chaos for many years. Li Zhenhua immediately discussed with several senior officials from the Government Affairs Council to conduct short-term or long-term training for some officials. If you don't want to come, it doesn't matter. That means your official position is over. This time, a new method has been added to public opinion propaganda, that is, broadcasting. Several large radio stations have been established in several big cities, such as Beijing, Wudang, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Some large amplifiers have been erected in many places. At the same time, some radios also entered people's homes. Those new-style radios were the earliest tube radios. They were very large and beautiful, and could be considered a good decoration at home. This was also one of the ¡°sound-sound¡± projects requested by the Minister of Culture and Education, so that people could "One voice" cannot work without a standard. The broadcaster's voice is also a standard. Now many people in China have developed a good habit of listening to the radio every day. Nowadays, people can listen to news, folk arts, operas, etc. on the radio every day. The most popular ones are some radio dramas. The most famous ones are some programs based on some actual wars and some advanced model figures who appeared in the construction, such as "War" "Sino-Japanese War", "The Bloody Battle in Harbin" and "Ordinary Job" etc. Some popular Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, Hebei Bangzi, Pingju and so on?Love's performing arts are also deeply loved by people. Thinking that his soldiers were carrying all kinds of weapons and equipment, Li Zhenhua wanted people to produce suitable equipment for them. So he made many modifications when he had nothing to do and finally designed a comprehensive equipment. Li Zhenhua¡¯s design drawings of several sets of one-piece kits made of canvas with different uses benefited from the good design of the German individual soldier equipment, which is very suitable for today¡¯s industrial mass production. Li Zhenhua included infantry armed belts, magazines, dry food bags, and water bottle bags. , grenade bags, and storage bags are combined in an orderly and scientific manner, taking into full consideration factors such as practicality and convenience and quick wearing. The style is beautiful, close-fitting, and compact, which is convenient for marching and combat and greatly reduces production costs. If it can be successfully put into production to equip the army, it will Thousands of front-line officers and soldiers will no longer have to say goodbye to the large-banded draped equipment that carries a food bag on one shoulder and an ammunition belt on the other. After seeing Li Zhenhua's designs, Wang Xin helped him make them with thick cloth and then let the guards and soldiers try them out. Of course, the results were easy to use. Later, after some minor improvements, they were officially completed. Li Zhenhua immediately notified the military. Zhang Xinghua, who was in charge of several managers in the Ministry, was responsible for the work of logistics equipment. After trying it himself, he felt that it was very good, so he began to promote it throughout the army. Soon, the entire army was equipped with new equipment. Text Chapter 487 Cai E Chapter 487 Cai E Chapter 487 Cai E With the equipment for individual soldiers, Li Zhenhua also designed a more convenient field cooking vehicle for the cooking soldiers. A four-ton truck was designed with four sides at the back. When the movable stand is not in use, it looks like a box truck from a distance. But when the cooking class starts cooking, it can support the two or three sides that are needed and quickly unload the tools needed to cook a few dishes. Some members worked nervously in the car and some next to the car. This greatly reduced the workload of the cooking class and also facilitated the work of the cooking class. Li Zhenhua was very happy to see this. The only drawback is that the current natural gas cannot be used well. If it can be used in the future, you can put one or two natural gas tanks in the car and cook without even using firewood. Let those in the Ministry of Petroleum put the gas into containers as soon as possible so that it can be used by the people and the army. At the same time, Li Zhenhua redesigned compressed dry food, canned beef, canned vegetables and other foods. After people tasted them, most of the officers and soldiers were very satisfied. This can be quickly replenished for the large amount of calories consumed by the officers and soldiers, and it also greatly facilitates army logistics. Safeguarding work. Li Zhenhua and the senior leaders of the army discussed together to retire a group of veterans who had participated in many wars and to provide them with good protection and then arrange jobs suitable for them. These people have worked hard and made great achievements. We cannot let them work hard in the future war. Raise them in a good environment. In view of Chiang Kai-shek's Huangpu experience, while adjusting the number of domestic troops to ensure the needs of national defense, we can also integrate some teaching teams and non-commissioned officer schools in various places to establish new non-commissioned officers and officer schools in a short time. The war is too big. The biggest aspect of future wars is that World War I will last for more than ten years. Now there is no need to preserve too many troops. However, the troops in the north cannot be reduced but must be further strengthened. At the same time, some troops must be collectively transferred to become the main force in national construction. The easiest way is to directly transfer some field troops into engineering troops and become railway, transportation, and construction troops. At the same time, some troops such as the army, agricultural reclamation, and oil field construction have reserved reserve requirements. If there is a war in the future, they can immediately put on the military uniform again and become excellent soldiers. Baoding used to have a martial arts lecture hall under Zhili. Later, the New Army used it as a military base school. Now, after some changes, it has become a military academy in the Chinese Empire. The source of students is mainly students who applied for the military academy, and some have outstanding performance. Due to limited conditions, the active-duty soldiers were not divided into various subjects in a very reasonable manner. Now after rectification, all aspects have become regular. Since Li Zhenhua personally serves as the principal, it is also known as the Royal Military Academy. From the initial infantry department and artillery department to the gradually increased reconnaissance department and now the intelligence department and communications department, these students will all be at the grassroots level at the company and platoon level after they come out. officer. The old situation of an army full of illiterate people will never happen again. In addition, there is a senior command class, which are outstanding grassroots officers who have emerged in each army. As the principal, Li Zhenhua often comes here to give lectures to some of the officers below. When he gives a lecture, he must give a big lecture. As soon as it comes, all the students will gather here to listen to the class. In order to be able to teach well, Li Zhenhua still put in a lot of effort. He personally wrote the teaching materials and handouts, including some famous war examples from ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign countries, and introduced some of the essence of war in such a vivid way. How could students not listen to the course verbatim? Even some school administrators and instructors from various departments were also attracted. Li Zhenhua's lectures are very distinctive. He often adopts some enlightening and question-and-answer methods. He raises questions for students to answer in order to improve students' interest in learning. In one lecture, he used the example of Li Biao commanding the Fifth Division to eliminate the Liaodong area in the Sino-Japanese War of 1994. The example of the Japanese army at that time was to use fire attacks to wipe out the Japanese army. More than 10,000 people drove the Japanese army into the reeds on the seaside. A fire destroyed the Japanese army. At that time, a student immediately raised the question of the heavy snow that followed. At that time, General Li Biao was It was not considered that if it were later, the heavy snow might extinguish the fire and the desired effect would not be achieved. It was obvious that he was talking about war examples, but this student mentioned the weather problem, which made many people have a bad opinion of this student. However, Li Zhenhua thought that this student had his own characteristics. He raised questions that others had not asked. He said that he had used his brain on this issue. Seeing that many people had misunderstood this student, Li Zhenhua immediately asked, "What is your name for this classmate?" "Report to His Majesty the Emperor that this student is an infantryman in the third phase. Department student Cai E "Li Zhenhua was stunned when he heard this. This is true."He was a military genius who was the military chief of Yunnan in his twenties. However, he also died young at the age of thirty-four in Japan. At this time, the honorary principal Nie Shicheng who was sitting aside quietly said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, his name is Cai E and his courtesy name is Songpo. He is from Baoqing, Hunan (now Shaoyang City, Hunan). He is a rare talent in the school." So Li Zhenhua said to him. He said: "The question Cai Songpo just raised is very good, but I was not at the scene at the time. I will introduce it to you later and let you and the then division commander General Li Biao and his then chief of staff Feng Guozhang explain it to you in person. How can this be done? Okay." Li Zhenhua's words made Cai E blush immediately, but Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period once said that a general should look up at the astronomy and observe the geography. This is what we mean when we command our troops to fight. Then you have to take many factors into consideration, otherwise you can only be one 1/2 Chapter 487 Cai E Text Chapter 488 Air Defense Force Chapter 488 Air Defense Force Chapter 488 Air Defense Force After the lecture, Li Zhenhua went around the school and talked with some instructors from the school. Combat concepts have already penetrated into the minds of officers at all levels. All opinions can be communicated very well. In the same way, the instructors all know that some of the popular tactical methods in the world are quite backward. However, all countries are using the old methods to train their armies, which is not harmful to the Chinese Empire. "" But now some countries have begun to imitate a set of military concepts of the Chinese Empire. But after all, imitation is imitation, which can only be similar in form but different in spirit. And Li Zhenhua has recently come up with a new theory of "infantry and artillery coordinated combat" The theory of "multi-arms coordinated operations" and "special operations coordination" are not something other countries can master, let alone his "aircraft carrier operations" method. Of course, no one knows the training of the navy and aviation in this army-based school. Who among the great naval powers today can compare to the Chinese Empire, which has only been in the army for several decades? Even though it is the Chinese Empire. The navy performed well in the First Sino-Japanese War. Even so, no one can look at the navy of the Chinese Empire, especially the theory of giant ships and artillery that is currently popular in the world. How can they look at those submarines that cannot be seen on the table? Where's the boat? For example, those naval powers in the United Kingdom and the United States are now staring at the opponent's huge warships. How big is the caliber of the opponent's huge warship? Only the smart Germans can take a look at these. Now they are also making efforts in this area, but they don't know about the aircraft carrier as we haven't shown it yet. At Li Zhenhua's request, the military school's meals were eaten together by the officers and soldiers. However, some older and foreign professor-level instructors could go back to their homes to eat, but some elderly people were willing to eat with them. Students eat together so that they can learn more about themselves. During lunch, Li Zhenhua had someone call Cai E over to ask about his studies. Cai E, who was wearing a student uniform, was not restrained in front of Li Zhenhua. He first saluted Li Zhenhua and then saluted all the instructors present. He received Li Zhenhua's permission. After that, he sat down and answered Li Zhenhua's questions respectfully. He said that he had already passed the exams in all subjects of infantry, had studied engineering and artillery subjects by himself, and was now studying communications subjects. Li Zhenhua was quite satisfied with Cai E upon hearing this. Li Zhenhua said to Cai E: "You are about to enter the holiday soon. After the holiday, come to Beijing to see me. Our General Staff Headquarters also has some detailed records of war cases that you can study in full." Cai E was very surprised when he heard this. Happy, he immediately stood up and saluted Li Zhenhua and said: "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your concern. I must study hard and never let down the hard work of the Emperor and the instructors. I will become a true soldier who defends the country." Li Zhenhua said to Cai E: "Okay, don't be polite and just eat with us." Cai E smiled and started eating with these big shots. In the original time and space, Cai E studied in the Japanese Military Academy and the Japanese Army, and he also achieved very good academic results. Now that Japan has been defeated by China, people will no longer learn from Japan's advanced experience. But in our Some foreigners from our military schools have come to study with us. The countries that come to study here are all students from nearby countries and regions, that is, the ones they can master. People from other places recommended by the regional officials are not allowed to come. This is different from ordinary schools. You can recruit foreign students by yourself. For Hama good, you can mobilize them to stay, but this is not possible in the military field. No matter how good they are, you will not be able to keep them when the time comes. People are the talents they choose to send, and they can only see for themselves. Only the most talented people will spend a lot of money to let them study abroad. Those senior instructors had no idea about Li Zhenhua letting Cai E go to Beijing because His Majesty the Emperor selects talents in such an eclectic way, and Cai E is also a rare talent because he can learn many things by himself in a few years. It can be seen from the course that the same instructors often give Cai E some tips and tricks. After leaving the military academy, Li Zhenhua went to the mountains to the west. There was a young army here. Although this army was at the division level, it could also be said to be a testing ground. There were only a few officers and soldiers in a battalion. They only had a few cannons, their cannons and other troops. The cannons are different. Other cannons all point their muzzles into the distance, but the muzzles of the several guns here are pointed at the sky. People must know that they are used for air defense.Fire cannon. But at that time, not many people knew that the large army next to them was actually an air force unit, but they didn't have many planes. They were mainly trainer planes. When they saw the emperor coming, they made some preparations and began to perform for the emperor. What is being prepared is the four anti-aircraft cannons with a caliber of 20 millimeters. Next to them are four anti-aircraft cannons with a caliber of 80 millimeters. It is obvious that their muzzles are much longer than ordinary gun barrels. The aircraft are far away. The air defense forces that had already taken off here began to enter combat mode. The training method of the aircraft was still the same as that of the Navy. A long rope was dragged behind the aircraft. Behind it was a long cloth bag. Soon they were in the air above the air defense force. The air defense force commanded the altitude and speed of the aircraft. The gunners quickly Turn the handwheel on the gun to point the muzzle at the aircraft. The first shot was from the anti-aircraft gun door. The anti-aircraft gun saw the aircraft getting closer and closer. They were just attacking the aircraft 1/2 Chapter 488 Air Defense Force Text Chapter 489 Entering Sichuan Chapter 489 Entering Sichuan Chapter 489 Entering Sichuan Li Zhenhua knows that this is not because his air defense forces are doing a good job. The main reason is that modern aircraft are not effective and fly slowly and low. If the speed and altitude are increased, the effect will be greatly reduced. By the time of World War I, the speed of aircraft was only six to seven hundred kilometers, and the height was only one thousand meters, which was still possible with current weapons. ""() After the training, Li Zhenhua had a cordial conversation with the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers kept the emperor's earnest teachings in mind and expressed that they would train well and strive to contribute to the defense of the motherland. But a telegram from the military headquarters made Li Zhenhua return to Beijing quickly. It turns out that something happened in Sichuan that made the upper-level leaders of the Chinese Empire become nervous. Sichuan Province is a large province in China. Since the Qing Dynasty, a separate province has been established under the jurisdiction of the governor. It is Sichuan that other governors have to take charge of two to three places. The fact that Sichuan Province has established the post of Governor-General shows the importance it attaches to Sichuan. As Li Zhenhua learned from time travel, Sichuan was the only province in China with a population of over 100 million. Now there is only one original governor left in office. With his ability, he cannot manage Sichuan at all. However, Cen Chunxuan, who has been the governor of Sichuan twice, is already the country's Minister of Public Security. It's hard to let him move again, but now there are bandits again in Sichuan. They actually attacked the county seat and killed a county magistrate. Although the local troops in Sichuan Province have already started to suppress the bandits, but the effect has not been obvious, then we have to Sent capable personnel there. In fact, the most suitable candidate is of course Feng Guozhang. If he goes there as the deputy prime minister and chief of the general staff of the Government Affairs Council, wouldn't it be killing a chicken with a knife? It would not be good for people to see it. Some people are still worried about what happens if Feng Guozhang goes. If they don't fight well in the process of suppressing bandits, the new country will lose face. Therefore, several people from the government discussed it for a long time and failed to come up with a suitable person. Li Zhenhua saw that they had been discussing for a long time without any result, so he said to them: "Since there is no suitable person to go, then I will go." Several people immediately became reluctant after hearing this. What a big deal it is to let the emperor personally conduct the expedition. If word spreads about this, Don¡¯t we want foreigners to laugh at us, the Chinese Empire? Therefore, no one agrees with Li Zhenhua's statement. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to everyone: "I'm not specifically going to suppress bandits. I went to Sichuan to have a look. As an emperor, it shouldn't be a problem if you go to your own private parts, right?" When they heard that Li Zhenhua wanted to go there in this name, others also really There was nothing more to say, but they immediately said that they wanted Feng Guozhang to accompany them. Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Then it's not necessary. I will go to inspect the work and there is a deputy prime minister from the Government Affairs Council. This will stop others from laughing. Okay." I'll go alone." People had no choice but to say nothing, but they thought it would take a strong force and at least two divisions to be mobilized. But Li Zhenhua said: "No, I'll just use it. Just ask Baoding Taxi School to dispatch one more regiment of security guards. If that doesn't work, I'll just deploy another regiment of mountain troops from Fangcheng. How many bandits are there? I'll take a division. If that doesn't work, then I won't be a member of this family. How can I fight against the great powers in the world if I can't even deal with some petty thieves? Well, that's it. "The Beijing Garrison cannot be strengthened without strengthening a regiment. People don't worry about letting Li Zhenhua lead the troops alone. Those who suppress bandits must also have the talent to defend him. But if the emperor wants to do something, it's hard for others to say anything. The officers and soldiers of a regiment boarded the train directly from Beijing Railway Station. Together with some necessary logistical support items, it took three military trains to load them. Since they were a garrison and did not have any heavy weapons, Li Zhenhua did not allow the association to carry heavy weapons at all. However, Mortars are a must. Li Zhenhua simply didn¡¯t let the senior officials in Beijing see him off. He led his security troops on the train at night and went south directly. A few hours later, I stopped in Baoding and several people came up. Among them was Cai E, whom Li Zhenhua had just met. As soon as Cai E entered Li Zhenhua's carriage, he hurriedly saluted Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua smiled and said to Cai E: "From now on, you will be my staff officer." Three days later, Shen Baoxiang, who had been notified at the dock in Hankou, followed Li Zhenhua's instructions. His river fleet has been dispatched to wait in Hankou. On the dock, Shen Baoxiang said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, you are bringing too few people with you. I heard that the number of bandits there is tens of thousands. You can't go there with thousands of people. I brought my security forces here, although they are not as good as yours." My subordinates can fight, but it is no problem for my subordinates to fight bandits with the help of your help." Li Zhenhua couldn't help but smile. He said to Shen Baoxiang, "Brother." Shen Baoxiang was startled and said hurriedly: "In the past, we could say anything. Now you can¡¯t do that anymore and it¡¯s not good for others to hear.¡± ¡°Brother, this is your fault.¡±During the Three Kingdoms period, didn't Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei always call Liu Bei "eldest brother"? Don't tell me, we are still brothers. We will all be brothers for as long as possible. "Li Zhenhua interrupted Shen Baoxiang and continued: "Those bandits also look at people, and they have never had the idea of ????taking your fleet, right? " "Yes, our fleet has not been attacked by bandits. They never seek trouble from us. " "That's right. Why are they like this? There must be a reason why I went there. Not only to suppress bandits, but also to look at our administrative issues. For those who go into the mountains to become bandits, I still have to look at their situation, and I don't have to use force to deal with them. Of course, I will not be soft on those who commit heinous crimes. Don't worry, thank you brother for your kindness. " There are really no one in Li Zhenhua's team. There are also some soil scientists, tax experts, economic people, some business bosses, and even education people. Li Zhenhua's anti-bandit force is really not It was generally complete. Li Zhenhua's men were put on one ship, and more than 600 guard troops were loaded on the ship behind. The two ships continued to move upriver, and the large forces behind them also successively headed towards Sichuan. However, their speed was much slower. At this time, a mountainous force starting from Fangcheng was also rapidly advancing towards Sichuan among the mountains. This was an elite force under Zhang Xinghua. They came from Annan. The order they received was to rush to Chengdu as quickly as possible to accept the emperor's order and fight under the emperor's direct command. Therefore, this unit has the highest morale. Chapter 489 Entering Sichuan. Text 490 County Magistrate Mingxin Paid chapter (8 points) 490 County Magistrate Mingxin 490 County Magistrate Mingxin The troops that went up the river stopped advancing after arriving in Chongqing, Sichuan. They stationed here and why didn¡¯t they leave? Naturally, Li Zhenhua had his own ideas. He knew that the bandits could not be dealt with in this way. If a large force marches in to suppress them, it is equivalent to using anti-aircraft cannons to kill mosquitoes. It is not cost-effective to deal with them. They can only fight in small groups. This is very familiar to Li Zhenhua, who has watched "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" since he was a child. In addition, there are many TV dramas in the future. It all shows that you cannot use large, slow-moving troops to fight those mobile bandits. Besides, he had just become emperor and there were a lot of bandits. This was very abnormal. He knew that people often said that the government forced the people to rebel. This had a lot to do with the local government. There must be many local officials who were concerned about the people below. The reason why the people are too black, however, does not rule out the many Taoist organizations that have long existed in Sichuan, such as Brother Pao, gang organizations, etc. There were also some local big landowners who occupied a large amount of land, causing the common people to lose their land and all of them rebelled. Li Zhenhua knew very well what the great man said. Because without investigation, he had no right to speak. After arriving in Chongqing, he did not notify the local officials at all levels to come in and arrange the troops. After he arranged the troops, he notified the intelligence department in Sichuan and asked them to come and report. Condition. The local intelligence department knew that the emperor personally came to clear out the bandits. They had already been waiting in Chongqing. They had already made preparations for the emperor's summons. Geng Qiulin, the intelligence chief of Sichuan, was an old brother who followed Li Zhenhua in Fangcheng in the early years. It had been many years since I had seen Li Zhenhua. When he saw the old chief, he arrived immediately. Li Zhenhua did not live in the original yamen when he arrived in Chongqing. He just stationed with the soldiers in a barracks in the north of Chongqing. Cai E had already started working. He asked the communications department to set up tall antennas and began to receive telegrams from various places. The communication system was already prepared on the way here. A telegraph communication base was established some distance away from Wuhan to facilitate communication with other places. Soon, some telegrams came from various places. They were nothing more than requests for instructions and reports. Jin Xifeng was already familiar with the work. He had summarized all kinds of information and then processed it in categories. Li Zhenhua quickly finished processing these tasks and sat down. I had a cup of tea. It was a kind of tea that I was not familiar with and it tasted good. It seems that Sichuan will be able to produce some good tea in the future. Sichuan has been saying that it is poor here. It seems that they have not found an entry point and do not know how to make money. When they come here, they have to help them solve some specific problems and get things done in Sichuan. He was drinking tea here. Cai E had already brought in Geng Qiulin, the intelligence director of Sichuan. As soon as he saw Li Zhenhua, Geng Qiulin's eyes were already wet. As soon as he entered the door, it was a standard military salute. Li Zhenhua hurriedly greeted him and shook his hand tightly: " Qiulin, I have worked hard for you in the past few years and let you stay here for several years. " "The old leader doesn't work hard because he feels uncomfortable that he can't really go to the battlefield. He feels anxious when he sees the other brothers beating the little devils and the old Maozi. " Li Zhenhua took Geng Qiulin to sit down, poured him tea with his own hands, and said to him cordially: "This time I'm here, we have to deal with the bandits here. You can fight the battle." Seeing the emperor mention the bandits. Geng Qiulin's face suddenly turned red when asked: "Your Majesty, it was because we did not do our job well that the county magistrate of Youyang was assassinated." (Correction here is that Pengshui County at that time was under the jurisdiction of Youyang Zhili Prefecture) .) "Tell me about the situation. What happened? Why did the murder happen?" At this time, Cai E and Commander Zhang Yulin of the garrison came in, so Li Zhenhua said to them: "You guys come together too. Let¡¯s listen to the situation.¡± Geng Qiulin and the two of them saluted, and then they sat down and started talking. It turns out that the county magistrate of Youyang is named Mingxin, and he is also an old brother who used to be in Fangcheng. He was injured in the battle against the Russian army and can no longer work in the army. Since the local area was in urgent need of a large number of cadres, the superiors asked him to come to Youyang County to become the county magistrate. Having worked in the army for many years, I am not very familiar with the local situation and the working methods are relatively simple. Also, because the people below did not cooperate well, his relationship with some conservative officials was also tense. After Mingxin recovered from his injury, his left forearm was broken by an enemy machine gun. Although it was reattached, he could no longer work in the army and had to transfer to the local area. After accepting the order, he immediately led several of his guards and soldiers. More than a dozen retired soldiers came to Youyang to take office. There are a large number of ethnic minorities in Youyang in the area south of the Jialing River, including Miao, Tujia, Mongolian, Hui, Gelao, Dong, Tibetan, Yi, Hani, Zhuang, Manchu and more than a dozen ethnic minorities. Although there are many mountains and little land,?The empire has been established for three years, but there are still many people here who don't know that they are still living under the original conditions. After Mingxin took office, he immediately began to conduct a social survey of the place where he worked. When he learned that a new county magistrate was sent, some local gentry heard that they immediately got together to greet the new county magistrate and waited for them to arrive. When the county government asked, it turned out that the county magistrate had already taken people down to understand the people's sentiments. Of course, people have different opinions on the county magistrate's style. Some said he was a good official who was loyal to his duties and an official who loved the people, while others disapproved and thought he was an out-of-sorts person. However, everyone began to be a little afraid of this parent official. But the people below don't know all this. After more than two months of investigation, Mingxin knew that many of the problems were at the bottom, but the roots were at the top, so Mingxin began to work vigorously. Due to the bad roads, people everywhere, especially in the mountains and fields, had a lot of problems. Even though the dynasty has changed, I don¡¯t know that they are still living in the same environment. Mingxin's main job is to work hard to improve people's livelihood. First, some of the original tax cards were abolished so that some mountain people on the mountain can take the medicinal materials they produce or pick on the mountain, hunt or breed their own furs, and take them down the mountain in exchange for some. The necessities of life have been supported by many mountain residents, but there are also some immediate benefits that have suffered losses, which makes some people very unhappy. At the same time, it also reduces the tax burden on some farmers who rely on land in the mountains. The farmers are happy, but some people are also unhappy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidi to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) 490 County Magistrate Mingxin Text 491 The Arrogant Bandit Paid Chapter (8 points) 491 Arrogant Bandits 491 Arrogant Bandits The original tax collectors were also reorganized, and some people who were more indignant among the people were removed. The original garrison was also reorganized and some people were fired. Some people stayed and at the same time some real farmers came in and were controlled by their own people so that they could resist if something happened. For some organizations that dominate the mountains in the surrounding mountains, Ming's new method is to focus on Fu. He posted a notice at the gate of Youyang, asking them to go down the mountain and surrender to the new government. Some honest and responsible people went down the mountain. However, some bandits simply ignored the government's announcement and continued to rob people and traveling businessmen at the foot of the mountain from time to time. These bandits on the mountain have been here for many years. They don't pay attention to the only more than a hundred troops in the county. They think that the officers and soldiers can't do anything to them, but they underestimated Ming Ming. Regarding Xin's ability, Mingxin may not be able to do specific rural work, but when it comes to fighting, Mingxin is definitely not what they imagined. Soon, two groups of bandits were killed under the attack of the militiamen commanded by Mingxin. This made some bandits fear and hate him. It should be noted that these new measures should be very good, but their methods have caused many people to lose their original interests. First of all, the abolition of tax checkpoints, whether on the road or on the water, has reduced the county's income. Those who can benefit must be unhappy, and some people's relatives and friends' children have been removed from the garrison or tax checkpoints. Their income is gone. These people are also unhappy, even though they seem to be dissatisfied with Mingxin. I dare not be dissatisfied with anything. But secretly, they got together and started to make trouble for Mingxin. Some people had friends with the bandits on the mountain for many years. They wanted to use the bandits to kill Mingxin. When Mingxin decided to attack a bandit, A squire who served as a county councilor disclosed the troop's actions to the bandits in advance. The bandits concentrated their forces to ambush the troops on the mountain roads passing by, causing the militiamen to suffer heavy losses. After breaking out of the siege of the bandits, Mingxin and a few soldiers covered the retreat of the troops. After running out of ammunition and food, they were caught up by the bandits. Several people were sacrificed. The bandits brutally cut off his head and hung it on the city gate. They really This is considered arrogant to the extreme. After hearing the news, the officers and soldiers of the intelligence department were all anxious and unanimously requested to organize troops to eliminate all these bandits. However, I knew that our discipline did not allow us to do this, so I hurriedly reported the situation to the superiors. We have also started work to investigate the situation here and now the situation is basically clear. Geng Qiulin handed a few pieces of paper to Li Zhenhua's hand. Several people attending the meeting were furious that such a good cadre was killed by some bandits and gentry instead of dying on the battlefield. Captain Zhang Yulin immediately said: "Your Majesty, please give the order. I must capture these bandits and fix these bastards properly." Cai E also said: "Your Majesty, this trend cannot last forever. We can't say anything." We must extinguish their arrogance and avenge Mingxin County Magistrate and the martyred soldiers." Geng Qiulin also said: "Your Majesty, please give the order. All my people are ready to attack the entire eastern Sichuan area within ten days. We can all come together to cooperate with the large forces." Li Zhenhua was very angry at this time, but he tried hard to control his emotions and said to them: "Qiulin, let all your people return to their posts, Commander Zhang. You immediately send a battalion to Youyang and ask your chief of staff to serve as the temporary county magistrate of Youyang to continue the work of Mingxin County Magistrate. First of all, you must protect yourself so that nothing happens again." Seeing the emperor's words, several people had no choice but to say. He stopped talking and then a soldier came in and reported: "A regiment commander from Annan is here and he wants to see His Majesty." Li Zhenhua was stunned, but he immediately understood that this was Zhang Xinghua who was not confident about his troops, so he continued Annan transferred a regiment over, so he said to the soldier: "Let him in." Immediately after the guard went out, an officer came in: "Report to the chief. Dao Zhijun, the former commander of the Annan Mountain Regiment, was ordered to come and ask for instructions from the chief. " When Li Zhenhua looked at Dao Zhijun, his camouflage uniform was almost like a beggar's outfit. The clothes on his body were almost in strips. There were also wounds on his arms. There were also wounds on his face. I haven¡¯t washed in many days and I can¡¯t tell which is blood and which is sweat. Li Zhenhua knew that he was a student of the first batch of Fangcheng Military Academy and had been with Zhang Xinghua in Annan. When he saw his appearance, he knew that he had suffered a lot along the way. He quickly stood up, walked to him and shook hands with him tightly. Pat himThe shoulder said: "How many days have you been working hard on this journey?" "Eighteen days and now we have only arrived at one battalion. Since time is tight, we will send part of the troops first. There is some equipment behind that will be delayed by two days. Minister Zhang's order It¡¯s been given us twenty days until we¡¯re finally not late, so I¡¯ll apologize to the old leader.¡± ¡°Very well, sit down and rest. Let them not be too anxious. Let them rest where they are. How far are they from here?¡± "About a hundred kilometers." "Let them rest where they are. Captain Zhang, please send someone to inform me that I want them to appear as a surprise force." "Dao Zhijun, you and your troops should rest first. Then let's study together how to fight this battle. " "Let's not rest now." When the young man from the Dai ethnic group heard that there was a battle, he immediately became energetic and walked to the sand table. He stretched out his hand to Cai E and Zhang Yulin and said, " I am a Dai person who likes to go straight to ask the two chiefs for more advice." Cai E and Zhang Yulin immediately held his hands and said, "I knew you were a tiger general and we will fight together." Zhang Yulin shook his hand. Referring to Cai E, he said to him: "This is Staff Cai. My name is Zhang Yulin and I am also the regiment leader. However, my regiment may not be as capable as yours, but we have also defeated Lao Maozi." "That's great. I'll give it to our cadres in detail later. Let's talk about it and let them gain some knowledge. We often fight, but we have never seen big scenes. It's just a small fight." Cai E and Zhang Yulin laughed when they heard this. This man is really a straight man. So Cai E said. I poured him a glass of water and let him drink it before I started to introduce the situation to the two group leaders. (To be continued.

The leader of the village is sitting in their meeting hall, and they are still talking to themselves. They were so happy about the recent victory that they all said how could Magistrate Ming be defeated. He just wiped them out all at once. This also made their reputation grow. Some small groups of bandits in the surrounding area also began to move closer to them. The day before yesterday, they sent another group of bandits towards the county seat. Today, these people are going to come back, but it is getting late and they still haven't come back. The skinny master felt a little uneasy. He said to the big boss: "The big boss, the third boss, Laogangshan, today According to the plan, they should be back, but they haven't come back yet. I'm a little scared." The second master laughed immediately after hearing this: "My master, don't be afraid. We don't have to worry about the army in the city now. It¡¯s not enough to squeeze my teeth. Besides, they are defeated generals. They don¡¯t dare to leave the county now. Just listen to the good news. They must have harvested too much when they went down the mountain this time, so it is normal for them to come back later if they can¡¯t walk fast. " Upon hearing this, the master immediately said: "Those people can't not report to the higher-ups. We should be more careful. I heard that the Japanese and Russians are no match for them in front of them. We must not take it lightly." This master is in charge of the big family. He has a lot of weight in his mind. He has always been very accurate in seeing the problem. When the big boss saw it, he could only say: "Young men, starting from tomorrow, we must strengthen sentry posts everywhere. Be careful not to let the officers and soldiers touch the sentry posts. If anyone has a problem, I will If you want to serve Lao Er with severe punishment, you will be responsible for it yourself." The bandits below agreed in unison, and then they felt relieved. But until the fifth day, the bandits who went down the mountain did not come back. Now, except for some second-in-commands who don't know why, some bandit leaders are a little unsure. Even some more careful people know that some brothers have not come back after going down the mountain. . Several officers in camouflage uniforms were looking up the mountain with binoculars at the jungle at the foot of the mountain. As the emperor, Li Zhenhua did not come. From his heart, he was very willing to come, but several of his officers were opposed to him coming to the front line. He had no choice but to agree. He knew that the officers below should be given some good luck training. Besides, there was no challenge to a group of bandits, so he had to let them handle it on their own. Cai E, Dao Zhijun, and Zhang Yulin were lying together behind a jungle and had a clear idea of ??the situation on the mountain. It turns out that Dao Zhijun's mountain jungle troops only rested for one day before they started their mission. Those big men in the north really didn't take those small and dark warriors to heart, but they were convinced when they saw their training. After getting up in the morning, A battalion of troops marched 15 kilometers in a mountainous area and came back almost at the same time. Some people thought that their speed was too slow, but when they looked at the watch, they turned out to be much faster than those troops training on the plains. Only then did they realize that these were real mountain and jungle troops. Walking on mountain roads was just like walking on flat ground. The third-in-command was already frightened when he saw those powerful elite soldiers from the north and south, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing. However, a reconnaissance platoon leader of a mountain regiment conveniently grabbed a bamboo pole in his hand and used a military weapon. He whittled the bamboo with three blows of the bayonet. He smiled sinisterly and said to the third-in-command: "If I insert it through your fingernail, how deep do you think I can insert it?" And the guard next to him said But the platoon leader of the regiment said: "Brother, don't fight with me. I want him to run behind my horse. I want to see how far he can run with me? Why don't we strip him naked and tie him up and let him run behind me?" If I stay in the woods all night, I guarantee that even his wife won¡¯t recognize him.¡± The third leader of the bandit knew that these were murderous masters as soon as he saw them talking like they were chatting, but he was frightened. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground and cried: "No, I have an old man above me and a young man above me, but there is an old lady in her eighties. If I die, my old lady in her eighties must starve to death. Please forgive me." Come on, as long as I know what you ask, I will recruit you as long as you can spare my life." "Then it will be difficult for your mother to give birth to you when she is sixty years old, so I will let you live." An officer said to the people. They all laughed, but his expression changed and he continued: "But you have to think about it. If you want to fool us, I'm sorry." The reconnaissance platoon leader figured out the terrain of Evil Tiger Mountain in just a few clicks came out: "Tell me how your minions are arranged." The third leader was immediately stunned when he saw it. He had already made his own cottage clear, so he had to honestly explain his military subordinates. . "Tongue grabbing for interrogation is a necessary procedure, but there are various reconnaissance methods for Evil Tiger Mountain, just thatThe huge airship passed over their heads several times. I don't know how many there were from long distances. There was a scout who pretended to be looking for his cousin and went up to Evil Tiger Mountain once, so he knew all their details. . After the reconnaissance work was completed, it was time to start attacking the mountain stronghold. The two main regiments had to be contracted by themselves. However, Cai E chose the mountain regiment from Annan. He believed from the bottom of his heart that it would be better to use them than the main regiment from the north. After all, they They are good at fighting in the mountains, but the main regiment in the north is good at fighting on the plains. But he said to Zhang Yulin: "You have a regiment in Youyang County whose main task is to protect the emperor's safety, so you can't move." But Zhang Yulin immediately proposed that the mountain regiment lacked heavy weapons for long-distance marches or was They should be the main attacker. Dao Zhijun immediately said: "Our equipment has arrived. They transported it by sea and then entered the Yangtze River. They arrived last night. All the heavy weapons of our troops are in place. Besides, we don't need any heavy equipment to fight them." Cai E smiled and said to them: "You have to be careful. There are two thousand enemies on the mountain. If you don't fight well, you will not only lose your face, but also the face of Minister Zhang in Beijing." "Comrade Cai, don't worry. We will fight this battle well and will never embarrass the emperor and Minister Zhang." It was said that Dao Zhijun immediately held his combat meeting to assign combat tasks. Although Zhijun is from the Dai ethnic group, his grades in school were outstanding. Moreover, he was overkill when dealing with these bandits. When Dao Zhijun saw his officers looking somewhat complacent, he immediately reprimanded them: "You guys are a little complacent, right? You know this is our first battle. If anyone tries to play tricks on me, don't blame me, Dao." I don¡¯t know you. Okay, listen, let me talk about the combat missions of each department.¡± ¡°Artillery Battalion¡± ¡°Come here,¡± the artillery battalion commander immediately stood up and answered loudly. "Concentrate the mortars of each company to attack the enemy's well-organized defenses at the mountain pass first. Your heavy artillery is at the back and the mortars are at the front. Pay attention to choosing appropriate artillery positions." "Yes" the artillery battalion commander sat down. ¡°Special Forces¡± ¡°Arrived¡± The commander of the Special Forces stood up. "Your mission is to climb this mountain from here under the cover of political offensive and artillery fire. When the artillery fire stops, it is the time for your attack. You have to fall from the sky to knock out the enemy's leaders in the command system as quickly as possible. You have seen the portrait, capture them as much as possible and force them to surrender. The second is to cooperate with other troops to occupy the entire enemy's stronghold as soon as possible." "The third battalion commander" "arrive" "You are responsible for the main attack. The mission is to secretly approach the enemy's external defensive position. As soon as the artillery fire stops, you must start charging and strike resolutely against the recalcitrant enemy. Pay attention to the prisoners who put down their weapons. Don't kill the prisoners casually. This is not like overseas." "Yes" the third battalion commander said with a proud look in his eyes. After looking at the other two battalion commanders, they sat down with smiles. "Second Battalion Commander, you are responsible for guarding the perimeter. Be careful not to let a bandit escape. If there is a problem, I will come to settle the account with you." "Yes." The Second Battalion Commander agreed somewhat unhappily when the regimental commander handed over the main attack task to the Third Battalion. . When Dao Zhijun saw it, he immediately said: "What? You are unhappy, aren't you?" "I promise to complete the mission without the regimental commander." "First Battalion Commander" "Here" "You are the first and second companies of the reserve team and the machine gun company. The third company in front of the mountain was ready to go behind the mountain." Seeing that the second battalion commander was already defeated, the first battalion commander did not dare to say anything else and had to happily agree that the combat meeting was over. The bandits on the mountain now know that even the minions at the bottom know that the officers and soldiers are going to punish their own stronghold. This makes most people start to feel uneasy. However, the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain have already prepared their formations as long as they come down the mountain. They were all captured and imprisoned, and now the entire village has been sealed off. At this time, a group of bandit leaders in the conference hall on the mountain are discussing how to deal with the situation at hand. Although the boss knows that his actions have completely angered the officers and soldiers, he does not regret it now. He also knows that regret is useless now that he has taken the step. After this long journey, you must be mentally prepared. You should not accept the heavy money given by the squire to do other things. There may be a way to survive, but if you kill the official, you will only die. The road down the mountain has been blocked and no news can come from below, but he knows that it is these two whoThe Qing government once used 10,000 people but could not defeat it, but it still failed to recruit people. He heard that the number of officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain was more than 2,000, so he was not afraid in his heart. However, his master said that now The emperor is no longer what he used to be. Even the Japanese and Russians have been defeated by him. It seems that this time it is a bit more unlucky. He has used Zhou Yi to calculate several times and the results he got are not very good. What is "Ze Huo Ge"? Anyway, there is no good hexagram such as "Earth Water Master" and it all means fighting. In the past few days, many brothers secretly went down the mountain. They wanted to escape, but it is said that they were all caught by the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain. But there are still people who want to go to the mountain. The military advisor has ordered strict control and no one is allowed to go down the mountain. If they are caught, they will all be beheaded. It is said that it is better, but there are still people running down the mountain. The bandit leaders on the mountain now have no choice but to prepare for a fight to the death with the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain. The old people are still confident that they can defeat the officers and soldiers, but those who have recently joined the bandit do not have such strong confidence. They are thinking in their hearts that if they defeat them Don't hang out on this mountain. You must find a way to get out of here, pack up the gold and silver in your hands and leave. The boss held a meeting. He knew that the people on the mountain were divided and asked everyone to unite and fight together. If the officers and soldiers won, they would give out a lot of blood and give everyone some gold and silver. In the face of the powerful leader, people had no choice but to unite as one to fight against the officers and soldiers. The leader publicly beheaded two captured deserters to stabilize the morale of the army. A red sun rises from the east. The troops of the mountain regiment have entered their positions in accordance with Dao Zhijun's orders. The entire Evil Tiger Mountain has been tightly surrounded by the mountain regiment. However, there is nothing different from the mountain, but some The old bandit soldiers have already sensed some danger. An armored vehicle came up on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. The loudspeaker on the vehicle read out the "Announcement of the Bandit Suppression Headquarters" in northern Mandarin (that is, the Mandarin currently being implemented) and the local language. The clear voice allowed people on the mountain to hear clearly. all content. Those who lay down their weapons and voluntarily surrender can be treated with leniency. Those who capture the bandit leaders can be regarded as meritorious service. Those who resist to the end will only die. Now behind me are your family members waiting for you to go home. Sure enough, the bandits on the mountain discovered that there were many people behind the strange-looking car, including men and women, old and young, looking down the mountain towards the mountain. As soon as the loudspeaker in the car stopped, those people all shouted: "He Dad, please come back soon. The government officials said they won¡¯t kill you if you come back.¡± ¡°Brother, please stop working for those bandit leaders. They are not good people.¡± ¡°Shui Wazi, come down here. I am your uncle. Your mother is dying. What can you do?¡± You have to see your mother, don¡¯t let her close her eyes.¡±¡ A female soldier in the car came down. She took a microphone and walked towards a woman holding a child and said to her: ¡°You can hear it on the mountain. "The child in her arms cried: "Daddy, my grandma Yaya is sick and she misses you." The woman also cried sadly: "His father and our mother are dying, why don't you look at her?" A man's hysterical cry suddenly came from the dead-looking mountain: "My mother." A man cried like crazy and rushed down the mountain There was a sound of a bowstring soon after. The person fell to the ground, and a long arrow was still shaking behind him. The woman holding a child below also collapsed on the ground (To be continued.

Text Chapter 494 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain Paid Chapter (12 o'clock) Chapter 494 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain Chapter 494 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain More people on the mountain began to run down the mountain, but more gunfire rang out. Dozens of people fell on the way down the mountain. Cai E saw the scene A little out of control, he quickly ran to the female soldier, took the microphone and shouted loudly to the mountain: "People on the mountain, listen." Cai E paused for a moment and waited for the chaos above to stop, then continued shouting: : "People on the mountain, listen, we are about to start attacking the mountain. Those who are unwilling to resist, you can find a safe place on your own and save your own lives first. I will give you ten minutes. ""()" After saying that, he had already told Afterwards, some soldiers began to retreat, and they also mobilized the common people to retreat. When Dao Zhijun saw that there was no more chaos on the mountain, he said to a correspondent beside him: "Order the artillery to start." The correspondent quickly shook the handle of the telephone with his hand, then picked up the phone and shouted inside: " The regiment commander ordered: "Start". An officer on the artillery position held a small red flag in his hand and waved it downwards. The artillerymen who were already prepared pulled the match ropes in their hands and saw the cannon suddenly sitting back and a line of fire appeared at the muzzle. Then there was a huge sound, and a fire broke out from the fortifications on the mountain in the distance. Then the sound of artillery was heard again, and the battle to attack Evil Tiger Mountain began. Li Zhenhua had already arrived in Youyang County at this time. He was walking casually on the street in plain clothes. Next to him was the North Korean beauty Jin Xifeng, followed by several plainclothes guards from a distance. He wants to see the basic situation here. He wants to see the place where the hero once worked and fought. For an elite main group to fight a group of bandits, he doesn't have to worry at all. It's just lice on a bald man's head. It's obvious. It's nothing at all. suspense. The street was very quiet. There were not many people. Only a few soldiers patrolled the street occasionally. There were two streets in the county, one running north-south and one running east-west. I looked around and returned to the intersection. There was a restaurant in front of me. Li Zhenhua said to Jin Xifeng. "You're tired, let's go inside and have a rest." Jin Xifeng's little face turned a little red and said softly, "Okay, let's go have a rest and then wait there for news about Evil Tiger Mountain." A few people stood in front of the door. The waiter inside came out and said, "Please, please." Seeing that Li Zhenhua's clothes and appearance were not ordinary, he hurriedly shouted inside: "We have distinguished guests, please come upstairs." Under the leadership of the waiter, he went to the second floor. Facing the building is a hall with several tables. Two of them were already occupied. Li Zhenhua and Jin Xifeng came up and found a place next to the window to sit down. Several guards sat at a table next to Li Zhenhua and others. The people were separated to form a protective situation. Li Zhenhua knew that this restaurant was a good place to hear about folk affairs. News from the county could be heard here. The waiter came over and Jin Xifeng said to the waiter: "Give us the better wine and food here." As long as a few things are exquisite, it won¡¯t be too much. We have to wait here for a friend to come, and we will add some dishes. First, we will have a pot of good tea.¡± The waiter happily agreed and hurried over to make arrangements. After a while, the tea was served. The guests on the table were a little curious about them at first, but soon they started chatting among themselves again. Li Zhenhua listened to their conversation while drinking tea. As for the arrival of officers and soldiers in the county, everyone in the county already knows that this incident is now the key news in the county. At the same time, County Magistrate Mingxin is not as good as before. When people talk about matters in the county, they must contact Mingxin, because Mingxin's prestige in the county is extremely high. This is a magistrate who died because of the suppression of bandits. And None of the things he did were good-looking to the people. On the table in the south are a man who looks like a scholar and a man who is dressed as a Taoist priest. The scholar said to the Taoist priest: "Brother Yuzhen, this time only a small number of officers and soldiers are here. How can we be the opponents of Evil Tiger Mountain? It seems that the revenge of County Magistrate Mingxin will not be avenged at the moment. It is a pity that such a good man ended up like this." "The Taoist priest called the scholar: "Brother Jingxuan, I don't know what the superiors think of such a good official, but they have no reaction at all. Even if they are not for the common people, they should breathe a sigh of relief for this Mingxin County." "Xin. There are too many things that the emperor has to do when he ascends the throne, but this new emperor is not simple. He defeated the Japanese pirates in the year of Jiawu and the great victory over Russia in the year of Gengzi. The thing he did was not to give a sigh of relief to our suffering big country. " "Brother Jingxuan, we Taoists know too little about the outside world. But according to the local people, the Mingxin County Magistrate is highly praised. It's a pity that I have no chance to meet this person. You don't know. It¡¯s just the new policies he implemented that don¡¯t know how to save them.How many people have lived? If I say, since the current emperor is so good, you should also come out of the mountain. It would be a pity to die of old age in the mountains without all the talents to help the world. " "Brother Yuzhen, isn't it the same for you? You are a master in Xinglin with peerless medical skills. Why don't you go out and contribute to the country? "Hahaha" the two laughed together: "each other." " Jingxuan then said: "Although I have this intention, there are many injustices in the world. Let's talk about the people of Evil Tiger Mountain. It was obviously them who killed Mingxin County Magistrate, but they went to Chengdu to send gifts. It's gold and silver, it's two big cars. It seems that the higher-ups have suppressed this matter, otherwise they wouldn't be able to move the top of the mountain. " "No matter how hard you try, the officials above can't suppress you. Someone from above will definitely come down. We will definitely seek justice for Mingxin County Magistrate. As long as someone from above comes, we will definitely come to explain the situation to the imperial envoy. " "Well, even if I am an outsider, I will count one of us together to explain this matter. " While the two were talking, they heard those at the table in the north showing disdain. A tall and thick-set man stood up and said to Jingxuan and Yuzhen: "You are nothing but how dare you talk about national affairs. ? "The people at their table also yelled together and scolded the two for talking about state affairs. One person said loudly: "They are full and are not afraid of the wind blowing their tongues." " Another person was even more arrogant: "The men from Evil Tiger Mountain will come down and kill you first. " Jingxuan's face immediately turned red and he stood up and said, "Who are you? Did County Magistrate Mingxin treat you badly by what he did? " Seeing that Li Zhenhua did not indicate that the guards knew that the emperor was going to continue watching, they began to prepare their hands. Even Jin Xifeng's little face made them blush with anger. "What's so good about someone with the surname Ming? Since he came, our life has not been as good as before. I would say that he should be killed by the heroes of Evil Tiger Mountain. " A boy on the side said: "Whoever dares to talk nonsense again will throw him into the Wujiang River and feed the bastard. "Seeing such a group of scoundrels, Jingxuan was in a hurry, and the two of them didn't let him speak at all. They had no chance to refute. "The leader of one of these people became more and more angry when he listened to the words of his subordinates. The doorkeeper immediately coughed, and the people immediately became quiet. He just sat there and said, "You people are talking about state affairs here to confuse the people. I should have arrested you all and put you in jail. But today If I am happy, I won't hold you accountable. Come on, drive them out. Don't let them here. They are here to affect my interest. " Several people below immediately rushed towards the two people. A white shadow flashed, and a stunningly beautiful woman had already stood in front of the two people. They moved their hands and all their attacks were in vain. The official was furious at the sight: "Come on, take this woman back to my house, sir. I want to personally interrogate her to see if she is a bandit from Evil Tiger Mountain. "Those people initially suffered a loss because they underestimated their opponents and Jin Xifeng made a sudden attack. Now when they saw the Lord giving the order, they were about to rush forward again, but this time they still failed. It turned out that the guards behind them took action. First, their elder was lifted from the chair to the ground by a big man behind him and then kicked to the ground. A tall thug was grabbed by a guard and flicked his wrist. One arm could no longer move. One who wanted to sneak attack from behind was grabbed by the scalp with one hand by a guard and hit his chest with his hand on the table. I don¡¯t know how many ribs were broken. One who was behind saw that the situation was not good and turned towards the window. He rushed forward and rushed out, but he didn't expect that the defendant caught his feet and pulled him back with his hand, but his stomach hit the window and he fainted in pain Jin Xifeng said to several people A guard said: "Take them back and let your chief of staff deal with them. These two gentlemen can also trouble you to come with us." " Jin Xifeng walked up to Li Zhenhua and said to him: "Let's go. Why don't you talk to the two of you for a while? ". "Okay, let's go." The two of them walked out of the restaurant. The guards behind the door will naturally go to settle accounts with the restaurant, but they will not settle accounts for others. At the same time, they will also find people to compensate for the losses. Several people arrived outside the door. A car came in the distance. A correspondent saw Li Zhenhua and immediately saluted him and said: "Report to the leader. The battle at Evil Tiger Mountain has ended. The three main bandit leaders and the accused were captured and killed. More than 400 people were captured and 1,000 were captured. We sacrificed more than 300 people, 13 soldiers were wounded, and 32 people were injured, and we seized supplies.?According to the statistics, it is estimated that it will not come out until the evening. The commander asked me to report to the chief first. "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidi to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

Chapter 494 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain Text Chapter 495 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain Paid Chapters (8 points) Chapter 495 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain Chapter 495 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain The people watching the excitement clearly understood that this place was neither mountain nor water, so they took down Evil Tiger Mountain. That's amazing. Mr. Jingxuan and Yu Zhendao were stunned after hearing this. What kind of army is this? I haven't heard about it yet. What's going on? The largest group of bandits has been eliminated. The two of them looked at each other and revealed their will. Heart smile. ("") It turns out that the attack on Evil Tiger Mountain started just when the emperor was resting in the restaurant. The fierce artillery fire blew up the enemy defense fortifications in front of the mountain. The artillery fire lasted only fifteen minutes and ended. However, there was still pressure. The artillery fire was hitting some scattered targets. Just on the edge of a cliff, a group of special forces soldiers had climbed to the enemy's back from a cliff that the enemy had never thought of, and used artillery fire to attack the enemy. The special forces commander Xue Xinping quickly and carefully inspected the place where he wanted to attack. Observing the soldiers under his command, they used this time to carefully check their various equipment. The twenty-ring 1898a pistol was checked. The magazine was tightly held in the hand, but in the left hand, there was a military bayonet. A semi-automatic rifle was hung on the shoulder and behind the back. He shook the grenade bag, pressed it with his hand and placed it in the most convenient position. Finally, he straightened the helmet on his head and tidied up his camouflage uniform. This place is not far from the meeting hall where the enemy bandit leader is stationed, which is more than 200 meters away. But if a fight breaks out soon, it will be impossible if the enemy is entangled. We have already made a plan. If the enemy blocks our way, we will divide our forces and carry out an assault. We must capture the enemy's headquarters first and strive to capture them alive. We must know that their first task is "Operation Decapitation". As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the special forces soldiers who climbed up from the cliff immediately launched an attack on the enemy. The bandits on the entire mountain were still in fear of the artillery fire. They were still lying on the ground to avoid the shells. Those outstanding soldiers The special warriors rushed past the stunned bandits like the wind. They avoided the craters at their feet. The dead corpses of the enemy quickly rushed to the door of the enemy's chamber. The group of bandit leaders inside were like hot pots. Xue Xinping, the commander of the Ant Dongzang Special Forces, rushed to the door and shouted loudly inside: "Hand down your weapons if you don't want to kill everyone inside, put down your weapons and come out." Before the shout could stop, a shot was fired from inside, and a soldier was heard from behind. Xue Xinping groaned and hurriedly aimed at the place where the fire was coming out. He fired a gun and screamed. A bandit confessed and threw a grenade in both directions. Following the smoke of the explosion, he rushed in with several of his soldiers. Once again He shouted to them: "Put down your weapons and surrender your guns." A bandit's hand was about to reach for the pistol on his waist. A soldier raised his hand and shot him down. Then two more bandits were shot dead. The remaining bandits continued again. He didn't dare to resist anymore and obediently raised his hands in surrender. The soldiers of the third battalion outside also rushed into the bandit's stronghold as soon as the gunfire stopped. Their attack distance was so close that they shouted "put down the weapon" and "hand over the gun without killing" and quickly attacked the enemy with their feet. As long as they put down their weapons when charging, they don't care. Of course, there will be people behind to contain them. They are just charging forward and if they find someone who doesn't put down their weapons and surrenders, they will be "dead". When the bandit leaders ordered them to lay down their weapons and surrender, there were no more resisting bandits on the battlefield. Only one or two gunshots were heard from outside from time to time. Those were the brothers of the second battalion who were guarding outside to prevent the enemy from escaping. When there was a chaos on the gun mountain, a large number of bandits took advantage of the chaos and fled outside. They happened to enter the second battalion to help them. The prepared confession was gone. These veterans who have participated in battles many times naturally know what to do when the battle is over. Under the arrangements of the officers, there are people who are dedicated to taking in the prisoners, and there are people who are responsible for rescuing their own wounded and sending their wounded comrades to one place. Those military doctors have already started working. First, a military doctor conducts a preliminary examination and immediately performs surgery on serious injuries. Less serious injuries are classified into different categories. After the soldiers responsible for different positions of the chest, abdomen, limbs, and head are separated, different doctors will naturally be responsible for the treatment. The female nurses were running around putting the items the doctors needed at their fingertips. Soon, his custodian had finished processing, and then he measured some of the injured bandits and the defendant sent them over. These people also needed treatment. The leader of the bandits was also injured. He was hit by a piece of shrapnel in the arm and was sent to surgery. On the stage, the boy was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it anymore. Two soldiers carried him to the operating table. He kept calling a soldier and said to the military doctor: "Doctor Yang, this is a bandit leader. Please treat his wound." ." "Okay, look at this outfit. Do you know what he does?" The boss even called Dr. Yang and said to him: "You don't look like you at all. We are a chief. When I removed the shrapnel for him, I didn't use anesthetic at all. He didn't say a word. That's it.You are really the only one who still wants to fight us these days. You are far from it. " As he spoke, he took out a military dagger and said to the soldier on the side: "Hold him down. "The big boss immediately shouted: "Men, please spare me and give me a happy life." "Two soldiers and two nurses held him down, picked his sleeves with a dagger, and a female nurse next to him went up and injected him with anesthetic. After a while, his arms lost consciousness and no longer felt pain. " Dr. Yang He picked up the scalpel and used the scalpel to explore the shrapnel inside. Use the scalpel to expand the wound. Then he used pliers to take out the shrapnel and threw it into the tray next to him with a snap. He said to the nurse on the side: " Inject anti-inflammatory drugs. " A female nurse next to him immediately bandaged his injury quickly and said while bandaging: "Why save this guy if he deserves to die? It would be a pity for eight oceans to give him one bottle of yellow amine. " As soon as the boss heard this, he immediately said to Dr. Yang: "I will definitely repay your life-saving grace to these eight oceans. I will send you eighty oceans. " Dr. Yang said angrily: "Where did you get your money? Is it that you don¡¯t know or that I know? Don't talk about money in my place. Even if you bring a mountain of gold, I won't wait for you. Take him away quickly. "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidi to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) Chapter 495 Fierce Battle at Evil Tiger Mountain Text Chapter 496 First acquaintance with Taoism Paid chapters (8 points) Chapter 496: First acquaintance with Taoism Chapter 496: First acquaintance with Taoism Various tasks are being carried out nervously. The cooking classes of each battalion have prepared the meals for the officers and soldiers. Except for those on guard duty, other officers and soldiers are on duty. They all come to eat together. Then, the prisoners who had been detained separately began to let them eat. First, the minions who only had primitive weapons such as swords and spears were a group. The soldiers who guarded them asked them to send a few people to carry their meals. When their group of people all came out of the same pot, they realized that the officials and soldiers all ate the same thing, and their own people also ate the same thing as them. The staple food was what Southerners usually eat. The rice dish we ate contained pork and stir-fried vegetables. The meat was originally from the mountains. But what about the order of eating? But it's different from before. It turns out that these people can only have talents and are leftovers eaten by others. When it comes to eating meat, it takes several months to eat it. These bandits feel as if a pot is boiling in their hearts. Some people even shed tears in their eyes. No one treats them so easily. This is because they have become their captives. Those eating behind us were those habitual bandits and some grassroots bandit leaders. They also felt a little strange. These officers and soldiers were really incomprehensible. It was impossible for them to say that they were fighting a war. They had already become prisoners before they understood it. How could those foreign countries lose at their hands? You know, the country has such experienced officers and soldiers, who would dare to be a bandit? When those people wanted to eat, there was no one among the officers and soldiers who were eating. Even the speed of eating was so fast that they were not on the same level as themselves. The last ones to eat were the main bandit leaders. I thought I was going to give them preferential treatment, but what I didn't expect was that after everyone had eaten, the teacher and the others had to eat. However, they had no temper and had to listen to others. After lunch, an officer held a meeting for those who had been plundered up the mountain to become bandits. He gave them a lecture and told them to go back to their homes and participate in production. If they give birth well, they will be fine. But if it happens again in the future, If there is any illegal thing, then put all the things this time together and make a general ledger. After being lectured, they were all released and allowed to go home. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found that their family members had been waiting here for a long time. One by one, they cried and picked up their family members. At the same time, some people went to the mountain to take away the bodies of their family members. Who will let him become a bandit when he goes back? There is still a lot of work on the mountain, and some defendants have been sent over one after another. Of course, they have been detained and released. Interrogations have also begun for those detained. We must find the person who killed Mingxin and avenge him. The logistics section chief of the mountain regiment has been cleaning up the floating wealth on the mountain since the morning. The regiment leader has long said that this is the hard work of the people around him and must return the money to the people. There are also some forty or fifty women on the mountain who were robbed by the bandits. Some of them were happy, but some felt that they had been robbed by the bandits and had been ravaged by the bandits. It would be shameless for them to go back. As soon as they saw the people, several female soldiers came among them and started to work with them, so that they could go home with peace of mind and not be afraid that the government would make the decision for them if something happened in the future. Their families were waiting for them to go back at the foot of the mountain now? The last few female warriors discussed it and asked their families to go up the mountain to pick them up. They should have someone come to pick them up. Except for some girls from ethnic minorities, most of them from the Han nationality have small feet. It was not realistic for them to go down the mountain by themselves. Later, Soldiers were sent to the foot of the mountain to call their families by the names of village celebrities before taking them back. The female soldiers who came to pick him up knelt down to thank them for their life-saving grace. The officers and soldiers finally sent them home. However, there were a few women who had no one to take them back. Most of them had no one at home and were accused of being killed by bandits. Some simply did not want to go home. They wanted to work and have the same life as the female soldiers. It¡¯s good to work. If you want to work well, there will be plenty of work in the future, but if you are afraid that there will be no one, then leave it to the local government. Anyway, they cannot be allowed to join the main force as soon as they arrive. There are also some sick and wounded on the mountain, so let them help take care of them first. In the evening, the emperor was resting. There were two people beside him: Taoist Priest Yuzhen, whom he just met today. The other was Sun Jingxuan and Li Zhenhua. They talked with them for a long time. After they assisted the officers and soldiers in investigating those people, they were invited to the emperor's office. They were shocked when they heard this. It turns out that I just said it, who knew that the emperor was actually listening beside me? He simply explained the situation to the emperor. Li Zhenhua saw that they were knowledgeable people and upright and determined, so he asked them to take over the work in Youyang. But Taoist Priest Yuzhen But he disagreed with him when he said that he was used to being loose in the mountains and did not want to go to the official position.In the end, I'd better go back to Qingcheng Mountain to study my own medicine. These are not problems. The country has just entered the formal system. As long as you have the ability, there will be no place for you. So I immediately invited him to be a researcher at the Xiang Research Institute. You can do it in Shanghai or in your own Qingcheng Mountain tomorrow with the military doctors of the army. Let's help look at the injuries of the custodians. Taoist Priest Yuzhen happily agreed. At the same time, Taoist Master Yuzhen also said: "After I return to the mountain, I can mobilize some of my brothers to come here. Our mountain has some secret recipes that have been passed down for many years, and we will also dedicate them to the emperor." Li Zhenhua smiled and agreed. Li Zhenhua originally He was not familiar with some things about the Taoist family. After talking for a long time, he found out that the descendants of the Taoist family mainly studied Chinese medicine in the deep mountains and old forests, and they had many ancestral secret recipes that had great curative effects. Very good. Li Zhenhua knew that he was conducting research in this area. If such a team of people with deep knowledge of the motherland's medicine joined his National Medical Administration, there would be a major breakthrough in this area. Several people were talking and a guard came in and reported: "Here comes the report from Chief Evil Hushan. We let go more than 1,300 people, leaving only the main bandit leaders, some wounded bandits, and a few who had no homes." Women. This time, a total of 2.4 million silver dollars were confiscated from the bandits. Li Zhenhua looked at Sun Jingxuan and said with a smile: "This is your business. Please tell me how to deal with it." ? "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidi to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) Chapter 496: First introduction to Taoism Text Chapter 497 Chapter 498 The Emperor among the People Paid chapter points) Chapter 497 Chapter 498 The Emperor among the People Chapter 497 Chapter 498 The Emperor among the People Seeing that the Emperor values ????him so much, Sun Jingxuan felt warm in his heart. This young Emperor is really meritocratic. I just agreed to take over Youyang. He gave me these 4.2 million silver dollars for my job. This is 2.1 million taels of silver. But then again, if I had these 2.1 million taels of silver, things would be great in Youyang. Too much to do. Since the emperor has opened Chrysostom, let me express my thoughts. So Sun Jingxuan expressed his thoughts to the emperor one by one. First of all, although the money was plundered from the hands of the people by bandits, the money could not be redistributed to the people. It could only be used for the construction of Youyang to improve the situation. The living standards of the people in Youyang will further learn from those in the east. We will use current science and technology to build some factories, mines, etc. In addition, we need to repair the roads in Youyang and develop local enterprises. For example, building a pharmaceutical factory is a very big problem. Not a bad idea. In addition, some products that are urgently needed by the people can be launched quickly, and the circulation of commerce must be accelerated. Those things that Mingxin has done before must also be persisted. Sun Jingxuan felt very uncomfortable when he mentioned Mingxin. He was determined to build a building for Mingxin. The monument allows the people of Youyang to forever remember the county magistrate who sacrificed his life for the people of Youyang. Li Zhenhua knows that he has just taken office and it is too early to say anything. He needs to come up with a plan as soon as possible and then carry it out step by step. At the same time, I have to help him do all this well. For example, by bringing some products from his pharmaceutical research institute in Shanghai to be produced here, it can solve the employment problems of some people and also increase some tax funds for them. He didn't care enough about Mingxin before. Now he can no longer care about the cadres below him. If he had given him more troops, he would probably not even have such a situation. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua himself felt a little guilty. He would never let these willing officials do anything again in the future. Something unexpected happened to our good cadre. The next day, a military-political joint meeting of the new Youyang County government was held. The military attended the meeting, with two regimental commanders and the chief of staff of the Central Guard Corps. However, the government only had Sun Jingxuan, Taoist Priest Yuzhen, and a few of Ming Xin's former subordinates. There are 3 cadres who have been transferred from the army and several original retained personnel. On the one hand, the army has Liu Xiaoshan, the company commander of the Central Guard Corps, and Sun Jingxuan has clarified the following key cadres. The Finance and Taxation Bureau appointed a cadre under Ming Xin, Qiu Rui, and Director of Public Security replaced Liu Guilin, a retired cadre from the army. In this way, the team is finally set up. With a gun, there is nothing to be afraid of. A company, especially a company of the main force, where ordinary bandits dare not move. In addition, the bandits who just wiped out the evil tiger mountain are also a powerful attack on the surrounding bandits. Shocking. Now Company Commander Liu Xiaoshan is already organizing a militia. It would be better if there is a militia. Sun Jingxuan told everyone about the urgent work that needs to be done recently. Everyone started to discuss. The first thing is to hold a public trial meeting for the bandit master Ding Yishan of Evil Tiger Mountain, nicknamed "Zhenchuandong", to conduct a public trial to shock the entire Sichuan region. bandits to protect the common people. A memorial service was held for the original old county magistrate Mingxin and a monument was built in front of the entrance to the west gate of the city to let future generations remember this good county magistrate who sacrificed his life so that the Chinese people could live a happy life. This memorial service will invite all media to attend, and at the same time, some nearby villagers will also be mobilized to participate. A question arises here. Is it necessary for people to make two trips? Those villagers are running on two legs, so it would be better to hold it on one day. People had a lot of ideas, so they modified the meeting procedures and got the matter done within one day. So the time for the conference was set for half a month. There was nothing else going on in the past few days. The main force of the two regiments became migrant workers. First, they cleaned the streets in the city and cleaned up some of the garbage that had been accumulated for many years. Wujiang and Several bridges on the Yujiang River have been repaired and reinforced, and several major roads have been rebuilt. The people in the city have never seen anything like this. When have those officials and soldiers not oppressed the people? But now, whether they are officials or soldiers, Working for the common people. Li Zhenhua appeared among these working officers and soldiers. Although his life has been much better recently, Li Zhenhua has never been behind in helping the people. Li Zhenhua came from an ordinary farmer's family. The old woman was in her sixties. It¡¯s not good. We were a couple when we were young, but the man met bandits on the road before and his legs were maimed by them. He can¡¯t do heavy work. They have a son and a daughter. The son is eighteen this year, but he was caught by bandits and was taken to the mountain. Fortunately this time Otherwise, this life would have been much more difficult if I had been rescued by officers and soldiers and got off the mountain. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? The family was a little scared because their son had been a bandit. But after these people entered the door, they just talkedThe people smiled and said hello without saying anything, and started to help them repair the courtyard wall and clean up the debris in the yard. When they saw that there was a girl in this house, Jin Xifeng, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, she took out a small glass mirror from her side and gave it to them. Giving it to her made the little girl so happy. When had she ever seen such a thing? Her mother thought it was such a precious thing and asked her daughter to return the mirror. Jin Xifeng said to the couple: "You're welcome, little girl, if you like it, It should be given to her." After saying this, he started a conversation with her. This was also a social investigation. The male owner looked at these people working. He didn't know what to say and stamped his feet vigorously. However, he squatted on the ground and started crying. The cry alarmed his old mother. As soon as the old man came out, she knew what was going on. She hurriedly came to Li Zhenhua and knelt down for him. Jin Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up and said to her: "If you don't kneel down, aunt, you can't kneel down even in front of the emperor." When the aunt heard this, she was unhappy and said to Jin Xifeng: " The girl is too young to say such disrespectful words. If someone hears it, you will be dead." Jin Xifeng laughed, and she was trembling. She no longer concealed Li Zhenhua's identity from that family. The prince said: "The one you see in front of you is the emperor." The whole family was shocked. Why is this the emperor? The biggest official I have ever seen in my life is just a county magistrate, and I still look at him from a distance. If he gets closer, there is a possibility that a whip will come to him. But now I heard people say that they are the emperor when he comes to his home. Absolutely won't believe it. But seeing that Jin Xifeng didn't look like he was joking, he hesitated for a moment, and then the whole family knelt down in front of the emperor again. This time, Li Zhenhua didn't hesitate and rushed forward to help them up. They helped this one and that one knelt down again. This made Jin Xifeng feel very The guards on the funny side were also laughing secretly. Li Zhenhua glared at Jin Xifeng fiercely, startling her, and hurriedly came to help them. The whole family had fainted and said they couldn't get up. They were just in a stalemate, but Jin Xifeng's brain was quick, so she said loudly to the side: "Your Majesty I want you and your family to stand up and speak." After hearing this, the family seemed to understand and slowly got up from the ground, still shaking. Li Zhenhua looked at their appearance and said to Jin Xifeng: "It's you who are causing trouble and causing trouble to the aunt and her family." He turned around and said to the aunt: "Auntie, you are the elder, please sit down first, okay, you guys should come and have a rest today." Let's eat at my aunt's house." Of course it's a woman's business. Jin Xifeng hurriedly ran to arrange the meal. A guard came to help. Others came to rest. The guard took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and gave Li Zhenhua one. He took it but gave it to the male host: "Smoke one, it's made in Beijing and it tastes pretty good." The male host stretched out his calloused hands and immediately retracted them and wiped them vigorously on his body before taking the trembling answer. After passing the cigarette handed over by the emperor, the guard went over and lit the cigarette for him with a lighter. Li Zhenhua and the guard asked for another cigarette and lit it before they started talking to him. Jin Xifeng in the house was worried. It turned out that the life of this family was too difficult. Now there was no food at all, but only some black stuff. She didn¡¯t know what it was. Jin Xifeng had to say to the security guard who followed him: "Old Zhang, you are Go to the store and buy some rice and meat, otherwise it will be difficult to arrange meals for the emperor. " The guard agreed and went out immediately. The hostess came in. She knew that the emperor wanted to eat here because she knew her family background. (International) Are you kidding me? Why do ordinary people have the food that the emperor eats in their homes? But it seems that the emperor is not joking. There is some rice and a piece of bacon hidden in the house, but they are vegetables? This is really hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She had no choice but to implement her idea. First, she took out the rice. It was only a few pieces of rice, but it was better than nothing. She washed it carefully and put it into the pot. Then she took out the piece of bacon. It was the one that the child's father shot last year. The rabbit family was reluctant to eat it and kept it until the emperor came. This was the best thing for them, so they took it out and mixed it with some wild vegetables. Guard Lao Zhang came back. He carried a bag of rice, a piece of meat and some vegetables, and took out two bottles of wine from his pocket. The little girl also came in, and a few people started working together. Soon the smell of meat wafted out, attracting even the neighbor's children. Sun Jingxuan came to Li Zhenhua again and said, "The lives of ordinary people are very hard. I would like to ask our troops to support some rice first, and then wait for our rice to arrive before paying it back. Is that okay?" Li Zhenhua said, "Yes, there is no problem. But I don¡¯t know if the villagers have the money to buy rice? The villagers are in a very difficult situation now. Although the policies of the governments at all levels are very good, they can¡¯t save the fire from afar.¡± ¡°Your Majesty, this is what I mean. First borrow some rice from the army and then mobilize the rice merchants to come up with some input.In the market, it doesn't matter if ordinary people don't have money, they can sell on credit. The government will guarantee them that when they have money, they will pay back the money and the rice will be paid back. " "This method is good. It is very good as it is. In addition, some projects must be started as soon as possible so that people can earn some money. Let the people who are most in need take part in the work first, and one person working can help the family solve some problems. Sun Jingxuan said: "In terms of engineering, I want to start building the road to Chongqing first and then build the road out of Sichuan. But then we have to save money." " "Just do whatever you have to do. I won't interfere with you. I will fully support you and help you do your job well. As long as you work for the sake of the people and the country, nothing will go wrong. " Sun Jingxuan thought about Li Zhenhua's words carefully for a while and then said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty said that I will definitely put the people and the country first. Okay, I'm going to work. "After saying goodbye, he went out. At this time, on the way from Chengdu to Youyang, an official was coming towards Youyang. This was the new governor Gao Yunfu. It turned out that he was just an envoy of Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan. Now Cen Chunxuan has been left in Beijing by Li Zhenhua as the Minister of Public Security, and he has been promoted to the provincial governor. This man is timid and afraid of trouble, and he is unwilling to stand out. At the same time, he also has one problem: he is greedy for money. I am not willing to take up the position of provincial governor. As the chief envoy, there is a governor in front of me. I am only the second-in-command of a province and I can't find my fault when something happens. This is a good job. I originally entrusted a relationship with a prince. The prince who had just become the chief envoy told him before he came that he could only be the second-in-command and not to think twice about it. He happily agreed. The dynasty changed and he became the provincial governor. However, the senior officials of the government were unwilling to let the officials below him fail to act. Especially the young emperor was so ambitious. He used his strength to defeat Japan and Russia and quelled the violence in one fell swoop. He followed the trend and became the leader of the province. The emperor is really capable, but if he has such a temper, he will definitely not be able to serve the emperor well (to be continued.

Your support is my greatest ) Chapter 497 Chapter 498 The Emperor among the People Text Chapter 499 Group fight Paid Chapter (8 points) Chapter 499 Group Fight Chapter 499 Group Fight In the past few years, this tall man has made a small fortune. He has long wanted to quit, but his brothers cannot do without him and do everything possible to make them lose. He promised each and every one of them that they would do a good job and not let the superiors find any faults. They did indeed make some achievements that satisfied themselves and the superiors, and he had the idea of ????continuing to work. But soon the Mingxin incident occurred, which gave him a headache. The people below gave him ideas and asked him to report to the superiors first and request them to send troops to suppress the bandits. Then they slowly suppressed the matter. A small seven If Magistrate Pin is dead, he will die. What's so great about such a big country? Isn't it because he has the reputation of being an official? But judging from the above, it's not a problem for him. Mr. Gao thought that the matter was over, but soon the news came that the officers and soldiers had breached the Evil Tiger Mountain, which made him start to worry about gain and loss again. However, these officers and soldiers were too disrespectful to him and entered his territory, and they did not give him this feudal territory. The official's words made him lose face too much. But the people under his command estimated that the general commanding the army must be a well-connected master, otherwise they would not deny him face. For the sake of his future, he had no choice but to come to Youyang by himself, but in name he came to Youyang to inspect the work. When Governor Gao¡¯s guard of honor arrived in Chongqing, someone reported to him: There was a rumor among the people that the emperor was here, which shocked him. The emperor was here. This is impossible, right? If the emperor was here, how could there be no news at all? In the end, his subordinates gave him a reassurance: If you take the initiative to see the emperor, he will not embarrass you. Besides, isn't your recent work good? Now that the officers and soldiers are here, wouldn't it be enough to bring some labor supplies? So Governor Gao immediately ordered people from Chengdu to quickly send a batch of military supplies to Youyang. According to the situation in the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan should be a better province. Otherwise, why is it that among so many provinces in China, only Sichuan Province is established? What about the Governor's? After arranging these things, Governor Gao started to head east again. As soon as he left Chongqing, he saw many soldiers and civilians on both sides of the road building the road. When Governor Gao saw it, he immediately asked the people below to take a look and find out who arranged it. Road construction work. A servant went over and asked a soldier: "Who asked you to build the road?" When the soldier saw their fake and intimidating appearance, he got angry and said rudely to him: "You still say that you should build the road as a person?" Yes. I came on my own and no one asked me to come." The servant saw that he was very arrogant and didn't care about him, so he went to ask a civilian husband again. The civilian husband said to him honestly: "You don't know, sir. This road construction is a good thing. It not only provides food but also pays the workers. Do you think I can stop coming?" "Damn it, Luo Suo, I asked you who asked you to come?" "Oh, it was our Lord Sun who asked us to come?" "Which Lord Sun?" "It's our Lord Sun from Youyang? Why don't you know? ?¡±. The man hurriedly went to report it. Governor Gao couldn't figure out whether there was some kind of Master Sun below Youyang, so he had to urge the troops to move forward quickly. Governor Gao¡¯s team arrived at the west gate of the county. There were quite a few people here. A man in his thirties was studying something with a soldier. Some people gathered around and blocked the road. Seeing that someone dared to block the governor's road and refused to make way for him, a group of his guards were not happy. Two mounted guards came up with whips in their hands and whipped those people. They were studying where to place Mingxin's tomb. Company Commanders Sun Jingxuan and Liu Xiaoshan were only in mood over the address issue. They never thought that anyone would whip them. When the whip came with the sound of wind, Liu Xiaoshan immediately moved. When he turned around, he saw someone whipping him. When he used force, he immediately dodged and grabbed the opponent's whip tip in his hand. He pulled hard and the guard fell off the horse. But Sun Jingxuan was not so neat. He only received a whip on his back. Although it was already autumn, the weather here was still very hot. Sun Jingxuan was only wearing a single coat. When the whip came down, his clothes were torn with a long line. Blood also came out from a whip mark inside the wound. Sun Jingxuan grinned in pain and turned around to see the man wearing a guard's clothes and couldn't help but ask: "How dare you hit me?" When the guard who beat him saw that his companion fell He was under the horse, and this man didn't look like an ordinary person. He was a little scared in his heart. There were several people on the side who were rushing towards him. They wanted to fight him to death. He pulled the horse's head and wanted to run back, but Liu Xiaoshan He had turned the whip over and struck him hard with the whip. Liu Xiaoshan grew up in a pastoral area. Playing with whips is a job he has done since he was a child. Plus, if someone dares to hit his new bossAs a co-worker, he became very popular. In addition, he was directly reorganized from the Central Guard Corps into the county's armed forces. His temper at the rank of a senior officer has not yet passed. Now, he is being beaten and retaliates with this whip. The guard's face had been beaten to pieces with a "snap" sound. At the same time, the horse couldn't stand the pain and stood upright. The guard fell off the horse. The soldiers and militiamen running from the side saw one of their superiors being beaten and another superior was beating them. They went up to hold them down and beat them until they were howling like ghosts. The provincial governor's guard in the distance looked ahead. When something happened, they rushed over quickly. No one on the two sides was talking nonsense, and they fought directly. Gao Yunfu's guards were all the best in killing the enemy. They might not be able to fight, but when it came to fighting, it was for the face of the governor. Naturally, People are unambiguous. The soldiers under Liu Xiaoshan were all fighting directly from the battlefield. Their lives were not worth anything at all, and they were all beaten in one place with their hands and feet. The guards of Governor Gao came over in a line. They had more than 200 people, so they naturally had more manpower. However, Liu Xiaoshan's people were scattered on the construction site and were working. The manpower must have been too late to come over. There were only a few dozen people. Although the other party had more people, they didn't eat. What a loss, but once time went by, Liu Xiaobing's people couldn't do anything anymore. They had to protect Sun Jingxuan, a scholar. Soon, more than a dozen soldiers were pinned to the ground and beaten. (To be continued.

Chapter 499 Group fight Text Chapter 500 Group Fight (2) Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 500 Group fight (2) Chapter 500 Group fight (2) When Liu Xiaoshan saw it, he was furious and stretched out his hand, took out the 1898a style twenty ring from his waist and hit the sky with a "slap" Immediately after the two shots were fired, more soldiers rushed over. Some militiamen had been working with these soldiers for some time and had deep feelings. Seeing that their good friends were fighting, they naturally joined in the melee. The situation between the two sides soon began to change. The governor's guard team was in trouble again. ""() The governor behind, Gao Yunfu, has already arrived here. When he saw this, you didn't take me seriously. A bunch of common people dared to beat my guards. He shouted: "Take them." Anyone who dares to resist will be arrested and shot on the spot. "It was just a fight. As long as he revealed his identity, he could no longer fight. But when he shouted, the situation got out of control. Liu Xiaoshan already had a gun in his hand. But he knew that he was a soldier and it was impossible to shoot at the opponent. But when he saw that the opponent had already raised his gun, he fired his pistol into the air again, and a bunch of bullets flew into the air. His hand shook and another magazine was loaded. chamber. On the west gate of Youyang, Li Zhenhua and Jin Xifeng were admiring the scenery there. He also wanted to see where Mingxin's tomb should be placed in the future. The good place was chosen by the veteran Taoist Yu Zhen. He reported that he had been brave enough to move around for a few days and settled on the place west of the city gate. More than 200 meters away, on a small high slope to the north of the road, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but say: "This person still has the ability to choose this place." Below, Liu Xiaoshan and Sun Jingxuan were discussing something on the road. Suddenly, two fast horses came straight towards them. Jin Xifeng rushed over and screamed. She saw that the whip had been whipped towards them. Li Zhenhua didn't expect anything to happen at first, but he knew that it would be too difficult to hit Liu Xiaoshan if that person was unlucky, but he was afraid that Sun Jingxuan would. Suffered a loss. He frowned and said, "Go over and have a look." When they got off the tower, they heard Liu Xiaoshan's first two gunshots. Li Zhenhua's expression changed: "Fast car." He jumped into the car and headed towards the man who was fighting. rushed over. He said while driving: "Machine gun grenade." The guards in his car were shocked when they heard it. Why did the emperor want to use force? The car was speeding forward quickly. Li Zhenhua ordered again: "Cover from both sides." The guard on the back seat of the car made a gesture to the car behind him while he was talking. The car had already arrived in front of them. Li Zhenhua's car turned to the right and went to the back of the north. The car turned south. Two cars passed around the fighting crowd from both sides. A strange sound of sudden braking sounded and then stopped quickly. Li Zhenhua glanced at the fighting crowd and said: "Machine gun" to the security guard behind. He immediately handed the machine gun to his hand. Li Zhenhua neatly pulled the bolt and fired at their heads. "Tap-tat-tat" bullets flew over their heads and made a sharp sound. Liu Xiaoshan's people saw the emperor. It stopped immediately when it came, but some people from the other side were still doing it. The guards who had just accepted the governor's order to shoot if the other party disobeyed were rushing over with guns in hand. When they saw that Li Zhenhua was shooting at those people, they hurriedly pointed their guns at Li Zhenhua. This time, the guards were stunned. The soldiers were all anxious. They acted immediately. Two soldiers blocked Li Zhenhua behind him, but Jin Xifeng had already hung her entire body in front of Li Zhenhua and used her own body to block the bullet for Li Zhenhua. The pistols of the other soldiers immediately opened fire. When the fire breaks out, as long as the gun is pointed at the emperor, he will die. This is a fatal rule set by Li Biao when he was a guard. (In fact, this is true in every country) When Gao Yunfu on horseback saw him, he was so frightened that he peed his pants. These people really dared to fight. He immediately shouted to the guards: "Shoot them to death." He wanted to The guards went on a killing spree. But he immediately heard someone shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, everyone here should stop fighting immediately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!" It turned out that it was the amplifier on the car speaking. Gao Yunfu almost fell off his horse when he heard this voice. In the Yamen lobby of Youyang, Cai E was the main person in charge of investigating the incident. What happened was simply because the provincial government¡¯s guards whipped the other person without knowing their identity. This was mainly due to the provincial government¡¯s The whole thing was caused by the guards being too domineering, which resulted in terrible consequences. The problem lies below but the root is above. This is directly related to Gao Yunfu. Cai E's opinion was to revoke Gao Yunfu's position as provincial governor and keep him on probation for one year, and to ask him to pay for the compensation for the dead guards himself and to compensate for the medical expenses of all the injured. Liu Xiaoshan was expelled from the military and demoted to a general clerk in Youyang County. Li Zhenhua felt that Cai E's decision to deal with it was not okay, and it basically conformed to his own ideas. However, Zhang Yulin, the commander of the Guard Regiment, the Dao Zhi Regiment Commander of the Mountain Regiment, and Sun Jingxuan had already rushed to Li Zhenhua to help Liu Xiaoshan. . Li Zhen?Let Cai E explain why he was treated like this. Cai E immediately said: "As a company commander, Liu Xiaoshan did not suppress the matter as much as possible after it happened. Instead, he whipped the opponent. After seeing his own soldiers beating the opponent, Liu Xiaoshan The soldier did not stop him in time. If he had stopped him at that time, what happened later would not have happened. Of course, when he used the gun, he did not shoot at the other party. This proves that he still knew his identity as a soldier. " That's it. What's the problem? Several people immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted to appeal for Liu Xiaoshan. Seeing that these people were a little emotional, Li Zhenhua immediately got angry and said to them: "You all go back to me. What are you doing? This is completely a warlord style. It's not right. It's not respectful to soldiers." There is nothing to explain about military discipline. The other party is not your enemy, and we have our own policies for treating prisoners. Do you think you have to conquer the other party? " "They are wrong, but you haven't seriously considered the matter from your own point of view. If we could take the initiative to resolve the misunderstanding, would we be able to have such a mess as today?" Seeing that the emperor was angry, several people became honest and went out quietly, but Sun Jingxuan stayed. He thought that Liu Xiaoshan's incident happened because he was beaten. If he hadn't been aggrieved for himself, he wouldn't have been like this. If he couldn't lift the punishment on him. Then I can¡¯t do it myself. When Li Zhenhua saw that Sun Jingxuan actually wanted to quit for the sake of brotherhood, he smiled and said to him: "Okay, I've already explained the truth. Cai E also explained it very clearly. Since you don't want to quit, even Staff Cai's All the good intentions have been destroyed. Then I will let Liu Xiaobing go to Chengdu. Since the army can't keep him anymore, let him go to Chengdu to report. Okay, you can go as well. Counselor Cai, just send Sun off. Sir." (To be continued.

Chapter 500 Group fight (2) Text Chapter 501 Finally met the emperor Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 501 Finally met the emperor Chapter 501 Finally met the emperor As soon as he left the house, Cai E said to Sun Jingxuan: "You, what do you want me to say to you? You are really confused. I have arranged this and you still don't understand." Liu Xiaobing is still in your hands. You don't have the final say in what you ask him to do. If you let him perform meritorious service again, who will remember his previous mistakes? " Sun Jingxuan immediately understood when he heard this. He was also in a hurry and didn't think carefully about Liu Xiaobing's actions. He was kind because they whipped him, so he became furious. As a result, things got messed up. He had nothing to do with him, but his benefactor was severely punished. He was also temporarily confused before resigning. But what does it mean if you let him be under your control? Why don't you let yourself take more care of him? I am really a pig-headed person. I don¡¯t even think about it. What if I go to Chengdu? Isn¡¯t that a trap? Thinking of this, Sun Jingxuan turned around and went back. He was going to ask the emperor for Liu Xiaobing. Gao Yunfu finally met the emperor. A guard was walking in front to take him to see the emperor. Gao Yunfu felt regretful in his heart, forget it. Even if he had done nothing in Chengdu, he would not be where he is today. But now? If the emperor was unhappy, he might be pushed out and chopped. As a result, all the clothes on his body were soaked. Although the journey is not far away, it is as profound as a journey of a thousand miles and he has no strength at all. Today, Li Zhenhua borrowed the yamen lobby in Youyang and took him directly to the second hall. When he arrived at the door, the guard who led him said something to the guard standing guard in front of the door. The guard in front of the door took him in. The extremely beautiful and highly skilled woman served him a cup of tea and then stepped aside. The emperor was walking back and forth in the room. The emperor didn't say anything but just walked around, but Gao Yunfu couldn't stand it anymore. He was already prepared to welcome the emperor's thunderous wrath, but the emperor left him there to hang out. This made him very uncomfortable. The sweat on his face dripped to the ground. I don't dare to wipe it. In fact, the Qing Dynasty was relatively tolerant to civil servants. Generally, officials who made mistakes were still given a seat. But Li Zhenhua didn't know that he wanted to get rid of him all at once. But there is something here, that is, Li Zhenhua wanted to let the Government Affairs Council Those people who can handle the problem should still discuss it collectively and make a collective decision. Don't make the same decision as before. Therefore, the emperor has to report Gao Yunfu's situation back to listen to their opinions. Furthermore, when dealing with Gao Yunfu, It would be a bit of a fuss for Yun Fu to take him down just for such a thing. Although there will be no objections to his decision, it will easily lead to a public debate in the future. At the same time, he will also have to consider who to send as the governor of Sichuan. After considering these issues, he and Cai E discussed the results. He is allowed to stay on probation for one year and then the supervisory department and the intelligence department are sent to investigate him to see the results of the investigation before making final decisions. The emperor finally stepped forward and said to Gao Yunfu: "Governor Gao." Gao Yunfu immediately knelt down on the ground and said hurriedly: "I am here." The other end also hit the ground with a thud. Li Zhenhua said with some disgust: "Get up" "I don't dare" "Get up" Li Zhenhua's voice became louder. Gao Yunfu then remembered that one of the most annoying things about the emperor was this one, so he hurriedly got up from the ground. But his waist is bent like a big shrimp. Originally, I wanted to talk to him, but when he saw his appearance, Li Zhenhua had no intention of talking at all, so he glanced at Jin Xifeng and walked out. Jin Xifeng immediately picked up her opinions on how to deal with him and said to him: "Governor Gao." "I'm here." He wanted to kneel down and said to the guard next to him: "Governor Gao, if you really don't want to stand on your feet, If so, just chop off those feet." After hearing this, Governor Gao stood up and Jin Xifeng said to him: "Governor Gao will announce the decision to deal with the mistake you made this time. "The document first narrates the events of that day, explaining that Gao Yunfu did not take any measures to prevent the situation from expanding, but further intensified Mao Dun. Therefore, he bears unshirkable responsibility for the incident that caused the death of many guards. Therefore, Gao Yunfu made the decision The following is the solution: Gao Yunfu's position as provincial governor should be revoked and he should be kept on probation for one year and asked to pay for the compensation for the dead guards and medical expenses for all the injured. At the same time, he also told the other party¡¯s situation that day that the company commander Liu Xiaoshan was expelled from the military, had his post revoked, and was assigned to work as a general clerk in Youyang County. In one sentence, I lost some money, not only saved my life, but alsoThe official was arrested. This decision was made by Gao Yunfu and he never thought that if the emperor knew about the matter in the original dynasty, it would not end well. Those officials would spare no effort to impeach you and not discredit you and completely dismiss you from office. It's impossible. I didn't expect that such a big incident would give me such an end. It's really good. It can be seen that the emperor is very good to me. It seems that he still wants to use himself. Gao Yunfu bowed to Jin Xifeng repeatedly and backed up to the door. Then he turned around and went out. When he got outside, he found that all his clothes were soaked through. Several of his guards were already waiting there. The guards were also very happy to see that their lord was fine. At that time, warriors focused on martial arts, while literati were good at face. Their face was even more valuable than life. After coming back, the people below first waited on the governor to bathe and change clothes, and then served him a cup of fragrant tea. Gao Yunfu lay down on the bamboo chair, and then he began to really take a rest. Things passed like this, which was really beyond his expectation. Several staff members also came over. They wanted to know about the situation with the emperor. Because of face issues, he made a lot of changes in the process of meeting the emperor, which made his bamboo and others misjudge the situation. He said that when he arrived at the emperor's place, he tried to reason with the emperor so that the emperor did not deal with him, but he took the initiative to ask for some money to deal with the aftermath, while the other company commander was expelled from the military and demoted to an ordinary person. The clerk is gone. Naturally, several of his subordinates praised him so much that they almost blew him to the sky. (To be continued.

Chapter 501 Finally met the emperor Text 502 A unique memorial meeting Paid Chapters (12 points) 502 A memorial meeting in a separate space 502 A memorial meeting in a separate space As the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of good things, you are afraid of not being good people." This is the situation today. The ideas that these aides came up with will not be brought to the table. If the past emperor heard about it, his nine tribes would not be destroyed. Even Li Zhenhua would be angry if he heard about it. A master said on the side: "What happened today, sir, is not that we are unreasonable, but those people are too arrogant. A small company commander dares to beat the bodyguard of our governor. Is there any royal law?" When everyone else heard this, they all The soldiers of a small county government were so angry that they dared to beat the provincial governor's guard. It was really against them. But the emperor is here today. We can only endure this tone for a while. A gentleman's revenge will not be too late in ten years until the emperor returns to Beijing. Shouldn't he just do whatever he wants with the little Youyang County he holds in his hand? A man waving a fan next to him said: "What you are saying now is too early. The top priority right now is to stabilize the emperor first. Since the master said that the funeral affairs should be properly handled, we must take practical actions to deal with You first." Yang County paid 20,000 yuan, and then we sent people to watch him and see how the man named Sun spent the money. As long as he spent a little money, wouldn't it be justifiable for us to deal with him in the future?" When everyone heard this, they all said, "Good views." The man continued: "In addition, the food and grass we prepared here must be transported as soon as possible so as not to make the emperor unhappy. At the same time, this is also a matter of putting gold on our master's face. We must do it." Do it as soon as possible." So Gao Yunfu immediately sent someone to send 20,000 silver dollars to Youyang County as compensation for those injured in the conflict. His men left them alone and let the accompanying doctor take a look at them. That's all. His coming here has greatly hurt the hearts of his guards. We went to fight for you to save face and get injured, but you did this to us. After a few days of rest, there will be people treating them at any time. The seriously injured have been admitted to the hospital, and those beautiful female nurses are waiting on them. At night, Li Zhenhua noticed that Jin Xifeng's waist was a little stiff and asked her what was wrong. Jin Xifeng blushed and said, "It's nothing, it could be a twist." Li Zhenhua immediately remembered that it was Jin Xifeng who rushed over to hug him in the car. Her intention was to block bullets for herself, but that scene was too glamorous. She had a machine gun in her hand and a beautiful woman like a flower hanging around her neck. Fortunately, people were in chaos at that time. No one in the room would pay attention to this, and this made him calm down. He gently patted the buttocks of the beauty in his arms and said to her: "Come down, let everyone watch." This time, Jin Xifeng was stunned. He was so ashamed that he gently twisted Li Zhenhua with his hands to get him down, but no one saw this. Li Zhenhua loved Jin Xifeng for a whole night. Early the next morning, Gao Yunfu came to the emperor and reported to the emperor that he had brought some food and grass to support the suppression of bandits. At the same time, he also gave money from Youyang County, saying that he would work hard in the future and never let down the emperor's hard work. But Li Zhenhua didn't see him. He just asked Cai E to tell him to do things well after returning home and not to think about useless things, and to prepare for him to attend the combined memorial and public trial meeting in two days. Since the emperor was about to make a public appearance, Li Zhenhua's guard captain Sun Feihu also came from Beijing. The emperor was traveling secretly. He couldn't take the guard captain with him, who everyone knew, so he could only use him as a cover in Beijing to come and go every day. Others thought the emperor was still in Beijing. Sun Feihu brought a lot of people this time, including a large number of reporters from various media, as well as cadres responsible for various aspects required by Sun Jingxuan and the emperor, including pharmaceuticals, military industry, highway construction, railways, agriculture, etc. Of course, there is also an investigation team on financial audit. But since everyone knew that the emperor was in Sichuan, the level of those who came to attend the memorial service was much higher. The person coming from the railway is Minister Zhan Tianyou and Zhang Xinghua. This minister is here to deliver military supplies. His direct troops have fought well, and his face is bright, right? The leader of the audit investigation team is actually Cen Chunxuan. He actually put aside his work at the Ministry of Public Security to focus on supervision work. Although the remaining big names did not come, they all wrote inscriptions and elegiac couplets for Ming Xin. Li Zhenhua secretly thought in his heart that if the calligraphy of these people were obtained by future generations, they would definitely be sold for a sky-high price. He did not know what calligraphy and paintings would be sold by future generations. The word that hits him is also a sky-high price. Sheng Xuanhuai is also here. He was entrusted by some big shots in the Government Affairs Council to come here to see if the emperor is about to accept it. The bandits are his opponents. There are many things at home. Go back quickly. These people all bear the burden of one hundred and twenty hearts. Two days??The day soon came, and the sky was very cloudy, and then it began to drizzle, as if God was also crying for the heroes. The memorial meeting was supposed to start at nine o'clock in the morning. People had been here since before dawn. Later, there was no room for so many people to stand in the venue. People had to go to the houses on both sides of the road, the big trees, and even the memorial hall. The surrounding hills are also full of people. All senior cadres and soldiers wore black gauze on their arms. Jin Xifeng and some female soldiers made some small white flowers by themselves and wore them on their chests. Before nine o'clock, Li Zhenhua, accompanied by a group of senior officials, arrived at the venue of the memorial meeting. superior. The heads of the martyrs are hung high on the rostrum. Because some people have no photos at all, they were all specially drawn by painters. Only after many people confirm that they are the same as the ones in person can the task be considered complete. Since the remains of the martyrs have been destroyed, the remains of the seventeen martyrs have been placed in coffins. The coffins are surrounded by wreaths made for them by their relatives and comrades. The elegiac couplets on them were all handmade by senior cadres in Beijing. written down. Li Zhenhua wrote: "The county magistrate is a good example and a caring person for the people." Li Hongzhang wrote: "He died for the people and was born in Mount Tai." Feng Yuxiang's inscription is: "The loyal bones are buried in the green mountains and the heroic souls are in the hearts of the people." 9 AM The memorial meeting started in the drizzle. Sun Jingxuan presided over the meeting. Sun Jingxuan announced: "The memorial meeting begins with a salute." The mortars that had been prepared immediately began to fire to pay tribute to the martyrs. A row of soldiers holding rifles. They also started shooting in the air, and the military band began to play mournful music. The folk people also played folk music together. "Bow to the martyrs" Under the command of Sun Jingxuan, Li Zhenhua and everyone bowed to the martyrs. The following is a eulogy delivered by Cai E. Cai E introduces Ming Xin's young and short life in detail. His life was born for the interests of the people and he fought for the interests of the people. Ming Xin's life is endless and the battle is not limited to our Chinese Empire. The pride of Comrade Xi Jinping, the role model for all our soldiers, workers, farmers, intellectuals and all cadres in the Chinese Empire, will always live in our hearts. Li Zhenhua also delivered a speech. He called on all citizens of the Chinese Empire to learn from Comrade Mingxin and work hard to build our great country. The last item of the memorial meeting was to send the martyrs to the cemetery. Each coffin was filled with eight honor guards. They wore snow-white gloves on their hands and lifted the coffin together. Then they walked towards the grass to the low music of the military band. Li Zhenhua followed They are carried to the cemetery behind a coffin. When the coffin was in the grave, Li Zhenhua picked up a shovel and Sun Feihu wanted to fill the soil for him, but Li Zhenhua said to him: "Don't stop me. It's because I don't care enough about them. If I cared more about them, they wouldn't have sacrificed." Listen. When the emperor arrived, the people around him burst into tears. Afterwards, everyone returned to the meeting place. There was another meeting to be held below, which was to publicly announce the verdict of the bandit leaders in Evil Tiger Mountain. A long procession of bandit leaders were pulled onto the stage and their identities were identified one by one. Several major bandit leaders and their masters, a total of six masters, were sentenced to death, some with life terms and some with fixed terms. However, when the final result was read out, several years and more than ten years were read out first, and then the crimes of those bandit leaders were announced. The most important thing was the last sentence: "They were sentenced to death and executed immediately." A dozen soldiers came up to fight with two people each. One helped them up and left. Those people who had been tortured by the bandits rushed up and kicked and punched them. A sister-in-law rushed up and opened her mouth and bit a bandit's ear with such force that half of the ear fell off. There was also a woman who actually took a bandit's ear. Using the scissors, he stabbed a bandit in the stomach with a knife. It seemed that she wanted the bandit to stop harming women in his next life. Immediately, officers and soldiers came up to persuade the women, who were responsible for holding the bandits' soldiers, to take advantage of the chaos and bring them to the opening. They were carried to the cemetery where the soldiers in charge of modeling were already prepared. The two soldiers in front pushed them there and made them kneel on the ground. The soldiers in the back had their muzzles at the back of their heads. The two of them held hands. When the gunfire rang out here, red and white blood immediately flowed out. The people were already dead, and so did the rest. Soon, six gunshots rang out, and the soldiers finished their work neatly. An officer returned to the venue and reported to Sun Jingxuan that the execution of the six bandits had been completed. Another cadre next to him also reported to Sun Jingxuan that he was responsible for supervising the execution. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to qidicn.

Newspapers in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other places have published details about Youyang More than two days later, more photos of this grand memorial service appeared in newspapers. People knew that this young emperor loved his people very much, and that this country also loved every citizen of its own. However, some follow-up work has not yet been completed. We need to build a monument here for the martyrs. You can't find this monument while walking on the road. The situation of the martyrs must be recorded on it. At the same time, the emperor's personal participation in the memorial service must also be recorded for future reference. People will always remember these martyrs and always remember the emperor's care for the people. In the afternoon, Li Zhenhua convened a meeting with some senior officials who made a special trip to Youyang to study the next step of developing Sichuan. The relevant leaders had a heated discussion. Sichuan has been known as the "Land of Abundance" since ancient times. The investment environment here should be It is said that he is very good, but Gao Yunfu is really not good. Jianguo Erduo has done nothing, which makes people very disgusted with him. Several leaders want to remove him. Li Zhenhua agrees with this, but then he must If there is nothing wrong with the first audit, let him get out of class. If there is any problem, then we will deal with him. Li Zhenhua asked everyone to go to various places to see how much potential Sichuan has. What should we do here? Each department put forward suggestions, and then the central and local governments jointly carried out development and construction. People agreed with Li Zhenhua's statement, so the meeting adjourned. Li Zhenhua invited everyone to eat together. After a meal, since Ming Xin's memorial service had just ended, people were not in the mood to drink. Li Zhenhua didn't say much and soon everyone dispersed and started to prepare for the work. Geng Qiulin came in the evening and said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, Governor Gao Yunfu invited a lot of people to a banquet today. As a result, he went to Yingchun Building to make a fuss even though I was very drunk. The impact was very bad. Shouldn't people let him get it?" "Catch him and teach him a lesson." Li Zhenhua said, "Forget it, let's put it in his account first. Isn't it time? But please keep an eye on him and don't let him get away." Geng Qiulin agreed. out. Jin Xifeng said to Li Zhenhua: "If it doesn't work, don't delay and deal with him early. His behavior is too outrageous." Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "How many more days will he be able to jump around? Okay, let's leave him alone for now. Rest." The two of them started to rest as they talked. However, while they were talking, the second conflict between Gao Yunfu and Liu Xiaoshan started again. Liu Xiaoshan was imprisoned after the incident and Sun Jingxuan let him out today because of the memorial service. Although he was asked to be a clerk, Liu Xiaoshan was definitely a suitable talent for managing militiamen in the army for many years. Then let him be in charge of militia work, so Liu Xiaoshan took office and became the captain of the militia. His main task is to assist the company in preventing social security. Due to his strong sense of responsibility, Liu Xiaoshan immediately assigned people to patrol regardless of his position. The emperor must be here. Pay attention to safety and security work. Liu Xiaoshan only rested for a few hours at night. It was easy to get into trouble at night, so he led a group of militiamen to patrol the streets. At about ten o'clock in the evening, when they passed by the Yingchun House, they heard a sound of a woman calling for help. As soon as Xiaoshan heard this, he immediately led people and rushed in. The people inside were in chaos. Liu Xiaoshan asked a servant and hurriedly rushed upstairs to the back. After entering the room, they found that a prostitute was riding on a woman's body and was stuck with both hands. The woman on the woman's neck had stopped moving. When Liu Xiaoshan saw it, he hurriedly pulled the man away and realized what was going on. Gao Yunfu and Liu Xiaoshan didn't know each other. During the conflict that day, he was only in the distance. I have seen Liu Xiaoshan. When he saw someone stopping him, he was very angry. He went up and wanted to beat Liu Xiaoshan. Liu Xiaoshan saw that this guy was about to kill people and he was so rampant. He had no nonsense and ordered his men to take him away. No matter who it was, he went up and beat him. The owner of the escort hospital knew Gao Yunfu's background, and he was the biggest in Sichuan. He hurriedly came up to stop them, but Liu Xiaoshan and others simply ignored her and led them downstairs. He turned around and said to the people upstairs: "Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about. There is a dying person in your house. If he dies, I won't be able to spare you." Then Liu Xiaoshan is also a celebrity, but he doesn't know it and dares to fight. The governor's bodyguard is no ordinary person. Hearing the noise in the back room, several of Gao Yunfu's personal guards came. Some of them were looking for the young lady to have sex with, some were going to drink, and some were looking for people to gamble with. The master was doing good things and couldn't stay away. Don't be an eyesore here (being a light bulb). They will all come as soon as they see something happening. Who has the guts to cause trouble for our master? "But as soon as they came out, they found that it was the daring little company commander again. They had already taken care of him.The master took him to the front yard and a few people saw him and snatched him away without saying a word. If the real owner they were responsible for protecting was captured, they wouldn't be able to survive. As soon as Liu Xiaoshan saw someone trying to block the way, he immediately said to them: "Don't touch anyone. We are responsible for local security in Youyang. If anyone messes around, be careful. We will punish you for obstructing official duties." These people are really not afraid of trouble, said a guard. : "I have never heard of obstructing official duties. Put our master down and get out of here." A boy next to him said: "You have just been dismissed from your post, you have just been put in solitary confinement, and you are going to get angry again. Stop talking, brother." Come on, beat him to death to vent his anger on our master. " Liu Xiaoshan immediately became angry when he heard this. It turns out that this is the same group of people from last time. Otherwise, they look familiar. On the surface, he is not angry. It is said that he is a young man. Who is not angry? Last time it was a fight, the gun must not be pointed at your own people. I can't use the gun, but now I am performing official duties. If you want to fight me, that's fine. You are just dung beetles flying around looking for dung (death). Liu Xiaoshan sneered and took out the pistol from his waist. When the guards saw Liu Xiaoshan take out his gun again, they were startled at first. But when they saw that he did not point the gun at the guards but pointed the muzzle at the sky, they knew that he was using threats again. way. Several people glanced at each other and started to rush forward. Liu Xiaoshan said to several of his men: "You guys should go first and leave these men to me." When he saw that his men were not moving, he shouted: "Quickly leave." His soldiers hurriedly held up Gao Yun and Fu Xiang. He walked outside, but none of them were worried about him. When those people on the other side saw that he was no longer a friend, they came up and punched Liu Xiaoshan. Liu Xiaoshan immediately dodged to the side and said, "I'll give you a warning first." "Papa" means against the air. Two shots. When several guards arrived, they were either up or down. They rushed towards Liu Xiaoshan again. Liu Xiaoshan had already warned him, so there was no need to say anything. He raised his hand and shot one of the guards in the leg. He shot and fell to the ground with a scream. Liu Xiaoshan was serious. He didn't care whether the other party was still charging forward. He immediately shot several more guards and knocked them all to the ground. He strode over and held up a guard's chin with the muzzle of his gun, sneered at him and said murderously: "You guys, crawl to the prison in Youyang County by yourselves. If you dare not go, I will live." I'll peel off your skin." Liu Xiaoshan stood up, lightly dusted his clothes, inserted the gun into his waist, turned around and walked out of the "Yingchun Building". He was not afraid of putting a high-ranking official in jail, but he had to talk to Sun Jingxuan. So he went to Sun Jingxuan and said to him: "Chief, I have captured Gao Yunfu again." Then he carefully told what happened. Read it again. Sun Jingxuan laughed when he heard this and said to Liu Xiaoshan: "Let me tell you, you are the nemesis of Gao Yunfu. He has only been here for a few days. How come he keeps falling into your hands?" After saying this, he said two haha laugh it out. After finishing laughing, Sun Jingxuan said to Liu Xiaoshan: "Xiaoshan, I saw this matter today. Let's deal with it privately and not report it to the superiors. But we have to tell Cen Chunxuan, the supervisor in charge of auditing and supervision, to record it in his account so that we can deal with it later. This time he lost face as the provincial governor. I secretly released him and told him that it was a misunderstanding and asked him to go back early. The supervisors and auditors above would have already left. He would be finished soon. "Liu Xiaoshan said: "Okay, but we need to prepare the girl's information, otherwise such good shells will be wasted." "If you can't handle the specific things, just give the woman some money first. Let¡¯s take some rest. Anyway, Mr. Gao has paid for it.¡± The two laughed again. Liu Xiaoshan went back. Sun Jingxuan saw Gao Yunfu in the prison and said to him: "Look at why Governor Gao is here. He also hopes that the people below don't know you, Governor. Well, just go back quickly and don't let the emperor." If the emperor knows about it and those senior officials know about it, it will not be good for you. " Gao Yunfu also said that he should not be lame when he heard that there is a step, so hurry up and get down. It would be really embarrassing for the emperor if he found out. The next day Liu Xiaoshan went to Yingchun Building again to find the girl who needed her to prove something. The girl heard that it was this Liu Xiaoshan who saved her life yesterday and she hurriedly got out of bed and kowtowed to Liu Xiaoshan. Liu Xiaoshan hurriedly stepped forward, stopped her and said to her: "Girl, if you are injured, don't move. I just want to ask about some things yesterday. Are you okay with talking now?" "Benefactor, just ask, I know. I must say. "So the little girl told Liu Xiaoshan what happened to Gao Yunfu from the moment he entered the house to the end. It turned out that Gao Yunfu drank too much yesterday.??We arrived at the Yingchun Building again. As soon as he entered the door, he asked the old bustard to find him a girl. The old bustard knew that he was the governor. When he saw the gang of fierce guards under him, he was immediately frightened. She would never dare to offend this province. The biggest official had to find a girl for him. In this case, a girl named Hehua was selected. However, Hehua was sick and unwell for the past two days and could not cheer up. Gao Yunfu thought that she was not giving him face. You know, Fu Gao Yun hasn't been very angry these days. He drank a little more today and saw that even a little girl from a brothel dared not to give him face. He couldn't help but get angry and show off his sexual power to the little girl. Even though Lotus is said to be a brothel, The people inside, but she had never seen such a person before, couldn't help but screamed. Gao Yunfu became even more angry and tore the little girl's clothes to pieces, leaving injuries all over her body. How could such a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl be the opponent of a man? In the end, he had her neck stuck and pinned to the ground. If Liu Xiaoshan hadn't rushed in, this lotus would really be over. That's why she called Liu Xiaoshan "Benefactor" said. Liu Xiaoshan was embarrassed when he saw her opening her mouth to call her benefactor and said to her: "Don't talk about benefactors one at a time. It sounds awkward to me. I'm a few years older than you, so you can call me big brother. It's convenient to talk like this." ." Unexpectedly, his change of calling himself eldest brother would lead to a wonderful marriage. 3500 Liu Xiaoshan and a colleague left Yingchun Building after sorting out the materials. Hehua insisted on sending them off. Liu Xiaoshan finally persuaded the little girl and then watched them leave with tears in her eyes. The colleague said to Liu Xiaoshan: "Captain, I think that little girl seems to have fallen in love with you. Tell your superiors that you will marry her." "Don't lie. They look down on soldiers like us." After walking in silence for a while, Liu Xiaoshan said: "The little girl is a good person, so pitiful to be in such a place. Alas." Sun Jingxuan read the materials and then went to Li Zhenhua's place. Li Zhenhua looked at the destination, handed it to Jin Xifeng and said: "This Gao Yunfu is always afraid that we can't get enough conditions for him." Sun Jingxuan added: "His Majesty Liu Xiaoshan should have done nothing wrong this time. I think he is right." "Well, you handled it well this time Liu Xiaoshan is not wrong. In the process of law enforcement, he should not be afraid of the powerful. You should praise him. Don't say that it is me who praises him. If I praise him, his tail will rise to the sky again." Sichuan is about to change this high-ranking person. Yun Fu doesn't love himself too much. What did he do to this? But who will he let come here in the future? This is a problem. Jin Xifeng, the president of Li Zhenhua, said: "Afeng, who do you want to let come to Sichuan?" Jin Xifeng said without even thinking: "Do you need to talk to someone who is obvious? That Sun Jingxuan can do it." "Experience, right? "You are a little younger and a little younger." "When you are a teenager and you are leading people to work hard, how can anyone say that you are young and have no experience? The key is whether he can do it or not. If he does not have experience, he can accumulate it. Just work and learn at the same time. I don¡¯t like people who are afraid of quitting and have no energy at work.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what it is.¡± "No, you can't listen to me, otherwise someone will say that I am interfering in political affairs." "Who is treating you as a harem? You are my secretary and I am listening to your opinion. What's wrong with this?" "Your Majesty. Swear words." Jin Xifeng's face turned red again (To be continued.

Chapter 502 The Second Conflict Text Chapter 503 Hydropower Station Bidding Paid Chapter (8 points) Chapter 503 Hydropower Station Bidding Chapter 503 Hydropower Station Bidding The issue of opening a pharmaceutical factory here in Youyang has been decided for a long time. The Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica has already arrived. Taoist Priest Yuzhen from Qingcheng Mountain has also returned. He also brought along some ancient recipes, secret recipes and some common prescriptions with obvious effects that have been left over for many years. "" The main drug they want to produce here at the Drug Research Institute is sulfa drugs, which is a major antiviral drug. Before the advent of penicillin, this was a specific antiviral drug that could save the lives of a large number of injured soldiers. In the original history, it did not appear until 1908, and now it has appeared in the Chinese Empire. It is a very reliable antiviral drug after animal testing and clinical testing. Since the institute is just a scientific research unit and does not have the conditions for large-scale production, they are now eager to find a manufacturer to produce it. Now Sichuan has made a request, where there are unique sources of medicinal materials, and they have also actively requested cooperation. The Taoist priests of Qingcheng Mountain are also willing to produce in Sichuan, so the enthusiasm of these aspects has come together. Funding is not a problem, not to mention that as a water transport giant on the Yangtze River, Shen Baoxiang is also looking for project investment everywhere. In this way, he will get what he wants. The Institute of Drug Research held 30% of the shares through technology investment. The Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain only asked for 10% of the shares. Shen Baoxiang invested 4 million silver dollars (about 40 million Chinese yuan) and took 35% of the shares. Yangdi owns 25% of the shares in the form of land and real estate. In this way, a joint-stock enterprise was formed. Zhang Jian, who is in charge of industry, personally presided over the signing ceremony of the cooperation between the four parties: their name is "Shandong Pharmaceutical Company". Kuang Xinmin from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica is the general manager. Zhang Jian said to them: "A person needs to have a person to handle a county's affairs." To handle a province's affairs with a provincial vision, we must have a national vision. To handle a country's affairs, we must have a world's vision. Today, we, the Sichuan East Pharmaceutical Company, must turn our gaze to the world and face the world with the advantageous tool that no one has and I have. ¡± Kuang Xinmin immediately proposed that as soon as the product starts selling, we will immediately register the patent for the product in the world and firmly hold this magic weapon in our own hands. Sun Jingxuan immediately said: "We have selected three places for the pharmaceutical factory. After the meeting, we will invite everyone to go and see the best place we want to choose." This group of people are all workaholics and will leave immediately if they say anything. They even used the emperor's special car. Finally, Kuang Xinmin considered all aspects of production, sewage, security, environment, etc. and decided on a place by the Wujiang River. There are more than 300 acres of land nearby for a pharmaceutical factory. Isn't that right? As soon as there was a little problem, Sun Jingxuan immediately started preparing people to start construction. He first cleaned up and removed the original houses and graves, and financially compensated those families. After a small groundbreaking ceremony, the pharmaceutical factory started construction. This will be the largest pharmaceutical factory in the world. From the area of ??equipment, management, to the number of workers, this will be the largest pharmaceutical factory in the world. Li Zhenhua knows that it will also be the most profitable pharmaceutical company in the world as long as it has the most advanced antibiotics. When viral medicine appears, foreigners will hold up gold and silver to buy it, fearing that you won¡¯t sell it to them. Let alone eight silver dollars a piece, there will be people who want it, even if it is eighty yuan a piece or eight hundred yuan a piece. What follows is that the recruitment of workers must first undergo a long period of training before they can enter the job. A telegram was sent to Shanghai for people from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute to negotiate with foreign companies from various countries in Shanghai to order several sets of pharmaceutical equipment and the most advanced pharmaceuticals in the world. At the same time, a hydroelectric power station must be built next to the Wujiang River. Other people from all walks of life started their own work. Zhan Tianyou took his people to Chengdu. He wanted to build a railway on the Chengdu Plain. First, it would be a railway from Chengdu to Chongqing, and then use Chengdu as the center to radiate to all aspects. Sheng Xuanhuai went with Zhang Jian. They wanted to build telegraph lines there, and Zhang Jian wanted to start some small businesses related to people's livelihood. Geologists have also started working. They want to survey some places to see what underground mineral deposits can be mined here in Sichuan. Immediately after the news about recruiting workers and soliciting hydropower construction was released, several foreign companies came. They asked to build a hydropower station on the Wu River. The British, French, Americans and Belgians came to bid for the hydropower station. The thing turned out to be Liu Xiaoshan. It seems that this general clerk has become the main team member. Who made Sun Jingxuan have no one? He sold the tender document to those foreigners and Liu Xiaoshan said to them: "You can go to the site to take a look." As soon as those foreigners saw it, they hurriedly followed Liu Xiaoshan to the scene. Several cars were parked outside. Like a gust of wind, they arrived at the edge of the Wujiang River. Technicians from various countries carefully observed the scene. The Chinese were really a little strange in front of this. ?What kind of hydropower station should be built in the place behind the village where there is no store? When they turned around a hill, they found that there was an area of ??two to three hundred acres where large-scale construction work was being carried out. The ground was being leveled. The huge bulldozers were roaring and pushing away the soil. When the rocks are reached, they are blasted. The blasted rocks are used to build walls. The site is filled with stones, cement, steel bars, wood and other building materials. A large factory is to be built here. These water conservancy construction experts are not amateurs in what they want to build. The hydropower station is serving it. Since there are people from four countries competing, we are not afraid that they will collude to raise the price. Anyway, we can create a budget here. If the cost difference is too big, we will not need them. However, relatively speaking, the prices quoted by Americans are lower, but the Germans also have their own advantages. Their strict and serious attitude has also been praised by Liu Xiaoshan and others. The bidding work is not simply based on who has the lowest price. It was necessary to conduct a comprehensive evaluation to select the best plan for identification. After comparison, Liu Xiaoshan chose the hydropower unit of a German company and used Belgian technology for construction. The British, French and Americans who lost the bidding saw the Chinese Imperial Government's intention to carry out large-scale construction in Sichuan. The ministers and commercial counselors of the embassies of the three countries in the Chinese Empire all lived here in Youyang. If they don't leave, they will strive for an investment and cooperation project in other aspects of the Chinese Empire. Even if there is no project, it would be good to get some other economic information. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidicn.

Chapter 503 Hydropower Station Tendering Text Chapter 504 Multi-pronged approach to eradicate bandits Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 504: A multi-pronged approach to eradicate the bandits Chapter 504: A multi-pronged approach to eradicate the bandits At this time, Zhang Xinghua was discussing with Li Zhenhua how to start the next step of suppressing bandits. After the attack on Hushan, the bandits in various places became more honest. Li Zhenhua meant to start a political offensive and let them put down their weapons and go down the mountain. They should not use the method of attacking from the source. Zhang Xinghua agreed that "conquering the enemy without fighting" is the best policy. Of course this is the best. In the previous stage, the attack on Evil Tiger Mountain has been publicized with great fanfare. Next, a separate letter will be sent to the dens where the bandits are entrenched. The county-level governments in each place will directly send people to deliver the letter to their bosses and then wait for them. If they are willing to surrender and put down their weapons and go down the mountain, they will no longer harm the village and their previous crimes will no longer be investigated. But those who harm the township again in the future must be resolutely suppressed. For ordinary people, as long as they lay down their weapons and go down the mountain, they will no longer be held accountable for their crimes and will be treated as ordinary people. At the same time, let the governments at the county, township, and village levels mobilize the people themselves to mobilize their relatives and friends to stop being bandits and go down to the mountains to be a good peasant government. The government will not treat them and their families badly. For those who continue to resist to the end, they must be completely eliminated. A thorough suppression of them must not leave such an unstable factor in society. Such people are more dangerous than the apparent enemies, let alone anti-foreigners. We must first settle the internal affairs and even the future economic construction must not be destroyed by these black sheep. At the same time, some bandits who may not surrender were analyzed, and the troops were placed under their mountains. As soon as three days were up, a surprise attack was carried out on them. Killing them all at once would never allow this kind of social cancer to harm society. of. The two of them agreed that there would be no problem, so they sent an open letter to the bandits in the name of the Ministry of Imperial Affairs of China. They immediately sent the letter to Chengdu and asked them to arrange for the county-level governments to send the open letter to each bandit's den. Go up and ask them to reply within three days. This letter was published in various domestic newspapers. In fact, this can also be called an "ultimatum." As long as you don't respond within three days, you have to stick to it. Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Most of the bandits chose to go down the mountain and surrender to the governments of various places. Only a few cottages did not respond, and a few cottages dismissed their own people. Several bandit leaders brought a large amount of gold and silver with them. He ran away and became a rich man. A bandit in northern Sichuan did not reply on the third day. That night, a battalion of the security regiment stormed the mountain. After just shouting a few words, those who were willing to surrender tied up the bandit leaders and handed them over directly. In the hands of the Guard Corps. It happened to be raining on the third day in a bandit's cottage in southern Sichuan. They failed to report in time to the local government whether they were willing to surrender to the government. It rained heavily at night. The warriors of the mountain group took advantage of the night and heavy rain to enter the bandit's cottage and took all the people away. All the bandits were captured alive and no one escaped the trap. This made Dao Zhijun, who was commanding the battle, very helpless. What happened? This bandit just wanted to occupy the mountain and become the king. The outstanding performance of the two main forces caused the rest of the bandits to disperse immediately. All those who had anything to do with the bandits suddenly disappeared. No bandits were able to fight against the government. They all chose to surrender or disband. The complete disintegration of bandits is not entirely caused by strong force deterrence. In addition, a lot of work has been done for local governments - political disintegration and then gradually strict local management. Who is a bandit on a mountain outside? The villagers all knew that their family members could not hold their heads high in front of others, and they would not want their relatives to become bandits anymore, so they mobilized their relatives to return to their homes. Another reason is that people's lives have improved. It turns out that some of it is because they can't stand the oppression of the local government, bureaucrats and squires. Farmers have lost their land. Their source of livelihood is gone, so they have no choice but to go up to the mountains to make a living. Now they have a better life. It turned out that those There is no government that oppresses oneself, and the government has transformed into one that is dedicated to the public good. Many people have taken back their own land. The government has no land, and the large amount of industrial investment has given many people a source of livelihood. Who would want to be a bandit? You must know the reputation. But it doesn¡¯t sound good. After solving the bandit problem, it is said that Li Zhenhua has no excuse to stay in Sichuan, but solving the problem of Gao Yunfu has been put on the table. It would be too easy for officials who had transitioned from the Qing Dynasty to seize them. No matter which official wants to investigate him, his butt is not clean. It turns out that it is a kind of soil suitable for officials to commit corruption. In other words, it is an environment suitable for corruption. It costs 50,000 taels of silver to build a road. The reported figure is about 150,000 taels. Among the officials and alternate officials.If you don't have your own Shangguan, you will not have your own way of making money. They all benefit from taking care of each other. Corruption in the late Qing Dynasty was extremely serious. This was also a social phenomenon. In order to increase revenue, the central government set up countless tax subjects and plundered wealth from the people to pay back the officials who paid clearly marked compensation. They all got a candidate for any official position. But if you really want to take up a real job, you will pay bribes to those officials, buy the officials, and borrow debts. What will you do to repay them? That's not the common people's misfortune. When an official takes office, he must prepare his own set of equipment, including sedan chairs, hiring senior officials, etc. However, his income is only more than one hundred taels of silver. The county can only use the annual "imperial grain" collection to increase the amount. If you should charge one stone, then charge two stone so that he can meet his own expenses. Otherwise, no one can be an official. It's all like this in every county, state, and government. It's the same above. The entire country is full of corruption. It is said that Li Hongzhang, China's most famous Westernization official, had more than 60 million taels in his hands when he was old, which was close to The Qing government¡¯s annual income was equivalent to 400 million taels of silver after the death of Empress Dowager Cixi. It¡¯s not like China had no money and it fell into the hands of a few people. For the officials of the original Qing government, they were more or less still doing things in the original way. They were ignorant and had no skills, so they could only leave things to the people below. They were completely outsiders in management. However, since Li Zhenhua established the Chinese Empire, he had to stop it severely. This kind of trend cannot be solved at once. (To be continued.

Chapter 504: A multi-pronged approach to eradicate bandits Text Chapter 505 Recruiting talents in an eclectic way Paid Chapter (12 points) Chapter 505: Demoting Talents in Any Way Chapter 505: Demoting Talents in Any Way The first is to fundamentally give officials high salaries to maintain integrity; the second is to exempt them from their privileges, that is, not allowing them to take care of their own servants. Car attendants, bodyguards, and masters are all assigned by government agencies, borrowing the method of Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption. Officials' income and expenses must have a certain degree of transparency. They must be audited regularly. They must also be audited when they leave their jobs. If you can't stand the audit, you'll be doomed. . Now Gao Yunfu is facing this kind of audit problem. Cen Chunxuan is very ruthless. He hates this kind of people the most. Li Zhenhua put him in charge of supervision work, and he has done his best. Just for the past two years or so since the founding of the People's Republic of China, his unreasonable expenditures have reached more than 20 million yuan. Not only this, but also involved many related personnel, including some officials who have just come from the investigation. Although exempted, due to the environment that easily breeds corruption, some newcomers cannot explain their own income. Li Zhenhua could no longer be "at ease" in Youyang. He had to go to Chengdu to take charge. He was accompanied by Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Xinghua and others. As soon as they arrived in Chengdu, Cen Chunxuan told him about the situation. Li Zhenhua's attitude was quite clear. : "When a problem arises, it is not a bad thing but a good thing. It must be dealt with and must not be done halfway. It must be investigated to the end." But Cen Chunxuan immediately talked about the issue of who will take over Sichuan. Li Zhenhua immediately expressed his position: "Then let Sun Jingxuan be responsible first. When he becomes acting governor, he will straighten it out." Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Xinghua had already communicated with Li Zhenhua, so they naturally agreed. Seeing that no one expressed objections, Li Zhenhua said: "Inform Sun Jingxuan and ask him to come to Chengdu immediately and let him handle it. Regarding the issue of Youyang, let¡¯s hand over whoever will replace him. Let¡¯s talk to him about it. Youyang is a pilot project in Sichuan Province, and Sichuan is a big province. We must let capable people manage it. We can't let Sichuan suffer anymore." Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Xinghua and Cen Chunxuan also fully agreed with the emperor. Cen Chunxuan continued to work on his case, and Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Xinghua worked together to study where to open a breakthrough in Sichuan Province, that is, where to make money in the future. The problem. Li Zhenhua knows that Sichuan is very rich in minerals. In addition to oil, Sichuan is quite rich in various other minerals. Since ancient times, there have been salt mines in Zigong, coal in the Panxi area, Tiechuan South, etc. In addition, Sichuan also has a lot of gold and silver. content. For the current Sichuan, it is impossible to only conduct a thorough investigation first and then consider new development. Otherwise, I told Sheng Xuanhuai and others about this situation. Sheng Xuanhuai immediately said: "We should first let the following investigate to see what is in Sichuan." After arranging things, it soon became clear that there are a large number of coal mines in Wanxian County of Yiyin Sichuan, iron mines in the Panxi area, salt mines in Zigong, etc. There are a large number of raw materials available for the production of cement. There are two other major items, one is smoking and the other is liquor. These are both things that can make a lot of money quickly. However, there are some things that cannot be put on the table. For example, morphine is a good painkiller, but drugs are drugs. Due to the influence of the British, many people in our area are smoking. We need to slowly make them quit. But cigarettes are high-profit consumer goods. ¡°Furthermore, Nanchuan already has an industrial base of a certain scale. If it can be given support and help in terms of policies, funds, etc., it will develop quickly. They were studying the guard report: "Sun Jingxuan from Youyang has arrived to request the emperor." A few people laughed and Sheng Xuanhuai said: "This Sun Jingxuan has a quick temper and arrived so quickly." Zhang Xinghua immediately said: "Please invite him in quickly. " The guard went out and Sun Jingxuan came in. He bowed to everyone and said hello. Li Zhenhua said to him: "The purpose of asking you to come here in a hurry is to let you take over the work in Sichuan. That Gao Yunfu is a fool who can't hold up the wall. He has seriously violated the country's laws. We have considered it and now you are the only one who is most suitable." Sun Jingxuan never dreamed that he would be allowed to serve as the leader of Sichuan Province. He simply could not turn around in his mind. He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Leaders, I am an idiot. I have just been in charge of Youyang for a few days and I have not achieved much. Now that I am asked to take charge of the entire Sichuan Province, I am really afraid that I will delay the emperor's important affairs." Sheng Xuanhuai said with a smile: "That's it. I knew you would say this. The emperor has long made up his mind to let you do it. The emperor's standards for hiring people are not the original ones, which require seniority and seniority. They are based on whether a person is willing to work and whether he has the determination and wisdom to do a good job. It doesn¡¯t matter if you have experience, if you don¡¯t have the ability, if you don¡¯t have good character, then you won¡¯t even think about it. Just go ahead and do it boldly. The Emperor and our Government Affairs Council support you.¡± Zhang Xinghua also said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±What Zhang Jian said the other day is what he said to you. Now you have to seize the work in Sichuan. As long as you focus on national affairs and use it on the people, the work will not be bad. Li Zhenhua also smiled and said: "We all think highly of you, so just go ahead and do it with confidence. We are all supporting you, so we have prepared a lot for you." you can take a look. " Sun Jingxuan picked up the record they were discussing and read it carefully. He didn't even know that Jin Xifeng gave him a cup of tea. After reading it, he was thinking again. Jin Xifeng came over to refill his water. Only then did he understand and hurriedly She stood up and said to Jin Xifeng: "Thank you, empress." Jin Xifeng had never heard anyone call her this name before. She blushed again. It was Jin Xifeng's characteristic that she would blush when others said it. However, even though he was older, he was also a subordinate, and she gradually She was used to it and said to Sun Jingxuan: "We are all acquaintances, so don't be polite. Working hard is the best answer to the emperor and the people. " "It is your teachings that have made me remember that I will definitely live up to the caring heart of my leaders. " Li Zhenhua continued: "Now that this matter is over, please tell me who will take over the work in Youyang. And is he here? " Sun Jingxuan replied: "I plan to let Liu Xiaoshan take over. Although he just caused trouble not long ago, he is also a good cadre who is really willing to do things like me, and he is not afraid of the powerful who dare to take heavy responsibilities. The work of Youyang is entrusted to him. I am relieved and I believe that all leaders will agree with me. " "Okay, then I'll respect your opinion and let Liu Xiaoshan take charge of Youyang's work. "Li Zhenhua looked at the big bosses and then said: "Then let him come in and let's talk to him together. "Everyone nodded together. Jin Xifeng went out and called Liu Xiaoshan in. Seeing so many leaders present, he hurriedly saluted everyone. Sheng Xuanhuai said to him: "Xiaoshan, County Magistrate Sun will come to work in the province in the future. He proposed that you do it. How can I be confident enough to serve as the county magistrate of Youyang? ". Liu Xiaoshan immediately puffed up his chest and replied: "I have confidence." But he immediately said: "What do you mean it's not good for me to be the county magistrate? Don't let me cause more trouble and make it difficult for the leaders to talk to each other in the future. " Li Zhenhua immediately said: "If you cause trouble again, I will put you in solitary confinement immediately. But if you cause trouble again, it won't be Mulan's business, because you will be the head of a county and the parents of ordinary people. What will happen to you in the future? You should use your brain more. " Sheng Xuanhuai said: "The key to not being afraid of trouble at work is to keep your mind in the right place. If you put the people's affairs first, the work will be done well. Sun Jingxuan also said on the side: "Since you are the person I like most in Youyang, I will hand over Youyang to you." If anything happens, just tell me and I will fully support you. " Liu Xiaoshan simply agreed, but he asked again: "Then what is the chief going to do? " "The emperor has already killed me and made me the governor of a province. " "Then I have to congratulate you. You have a treat today. " "Do you still need him to invite me when I'm here? Ah Feng, go and inform us that we are not at home to eat today. We have to go out to eat. But you two can't eat for free and bring out something. " Sheng Xuanhuai smiled and said: "I have prepared the things. "After saying that, he had taken out a roll of paper and spread it on the table. It turned out to be a copy of a poem written by Gong Zizhen in the late Qing Dynasty. "It's sad that Kyushu is angry and relying on the wind and thunder, and all the horses are silent." I urge God to work hard and send out talented people in an eclectic way. " Sheng Xuanhuai smiled and said: "I will give this poem to you two. ¡± The lunch of several people was not easy. Their central topic was still surrounding the future work of Sichuan Province. But as time went by, they became more and more clear about the future development direction of Sichuan work. After the meal Liu Xiaoshan immediately returned to Youyang. From now on, his burden will be heavier and he has to hurry up. Sun Jingxuan also immediately entered into work mode. First, he evaluated some minerals to be developed, and then he went to personally conduct an on-site inspection of Sichuan. I have a clear idea of ??the future development. Li Zhenhua dealt with a large number of officials in Sichuan Province harshly, severely and quickly, which made some officials across the country immediately become more vigilant. This is not a joke, especially for Li Zhenhua's novice. There are still a few officials who were brought out by him. This is mainly because their own hands and feet are not clean. They cannot blame others. They can only blame themselves for not having a position. Sun Jingxuan received a large amount of funds from these officials, which will be of great benefit to Sichuan in the future. The development of the province has provided strong financial support.

Chapter 505: Reducing talents in an eclectic way Text Chapter 506 Desperate Sanlang Paid Chapters (8 points) Chapter 506: Fighting for Sanlang Chapter 506: Fighting for Sanlang Sun Jingxuan obtained a large amount of funds from these officials, which provided strong financial support for the future development of Sichuan Province. He also obtained those bandit copycats. part of the funds. However, although Gao Yunfu has refunded most of the money, there is still a lot of funds that cannot be recovered. Fortunately, many officials are actively carrying out refunds and compensation. The entire Sichuan Province has received nearly 20 million yuan in stolen money. People have once again realized that Li Zhenhua has always hated corruption. From the past to the present, the most people he has killed are corrupt officials. Of course, the people who benefited from this were the people of Sichuan Province. Sichuan Province was able to invest a large amount of funds in economic construction. Enterprises were put into operation and a large number of workers were added. The highway transportation built greatly facilitated the lives of the people. All this allows Sichuan to develop in a positive direction. When Sun Jingxuan took office, he immediately invited grassroots officials and some local capable people to hold a symposium and asked these people who were most familiar with Sichuan to express their suggestions on how Sichuan can develop rapidly. These people turned out to be extremely dissatisfied with Gao Yunfu. They know that the whole country is developing but only Sichuan, a province formerly known as the Land of Abundance, is not doing so. Their hearts are unbalanced. Now that the governor invites them to make suggestions for Sichuan's development, of course they are extremely happy. In a short period of time, people put forward many rationalization suggestions, from long-term education on the national economy and people's livelihood to short-term road construction to promote commercial development, as well as the construction of many national industries funded by many gentry, many small iron factories, wineries, and agricultural tool production. Tea processing, etc. The whole of Sichuan has come to life. This year is a good harvest year on the Chengdu Plain. The government has reduced the amount of agricultural taxes collected by the country this year. It has also mobilized landlords to reduce the rents they receivable. This will make the burden on farmers much lighter. Compared with the previous Qing Dynasty, it dropped by two-thirds. Compared with last year, it also dropped by nearly half. At this time, the agricultural population in Sichuan Province accounts for less than 90% of the total population, so more than 90% of the population has received benefits, and the natural social environment has stabilized. For those farmers who have food to eat, you just let them go up the mountains to become bandits. They won't go either. There are also hunters who specialize in hunting and farmers who collect herbs. Since all the checkpoints have been lifted, their lives have also improved. Workers who go to work in factories and enterprises will naturally be better off. At this time, when people have money in their hands, they can consider sending their children to school. People have seen that the first rule for recruiting workers in the country's big factories is that they must be literate. Those without education are not allowed to enter. In addition, students from new-style schools are already being targeted before they graduate. Their wages are not as high as before. It turned out that there were still some county officials who were very dissatisfied because the country had canceled the scientific examination system. They believed that this was the only way for them to contribute to the country. However, the new government in just a short period of time Their demands were resolved within the year, but more positions are vacant. As long as you have the ability, there will naturally be a place for you to work. You no longer have to study those boring "eight-legged essays" and you don't have to do it every three years. Many people who went to Beijing to take the exam failed to pass the exam in their lifetime. Now that kind of waste of talents will never happen again. The current schooling system has changed to an eight-year system, with four years of primary school, two years of junior high school, and two years of high school (or two years of junior college). After that, you need to go to college for another three to five years. Why is this? What Li Zhenhua means is the average life span of people today. It was only over thirty years ago, but it would be obviously inappropriate if, like the people of later generations, sixteen years of schooling alone plus seven years of childhood already accounted for more than half of the entire life. The average worker starts at the age of seven and attends four years of primary school, two years of junior high school, and two years of junior college before he or she can start working at the age of fifteen. But if you want to continue schooling, you have to go to high school and then college. The same goes for going to military school. After graduating from junior high school, you go to the sergeant school to study for three years before entering the army to serve in the army. The military academy only lasts for four years. It's too young and it's not good. The body has not developed well enough to be in the army. Isn't it a joke? Furthermore, the age for workers to join the workforce cannot be set at 18, but must be lowered to 15. However, no unit or individual can use it for children under 12 years old. If they find someone using child labor, it will be illegal. All aspects must be severely punished. Sun Jingxuan is much busier now, and even Li Zhenhua can hardly see him now. Li Zhenhua saw that this "Desperate Sanlang" was so busy at work, and gave him his own car. He also sent a guard from the security corps as a provincial government guard. force. It's okay not to care. With Mingxin's code, Li Zhenhua never dared to take the security work of his subordinates lightly. Now that there is a company following him, it will be easy to say if something happens?Sun Jingxuan will not be in danger if he encounters bandits who are not hundreds of them. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Li Zhenhua went down to take a look around and wanted to go back to Beijing where there were still a lot of things to do after all. Li Zhenhua didn't expect the county magistrate of Youyang, Liu Xiaoshan, to come. Seeing Liu Xiaoshan, Li Zhenhua was very happy that this was a cadre from his own security group and he had a very affectionate relationship with him. Jin Xifeng invited him in and gave him a cup of tea. He joked to him: "Why did County Magistrate Liu have time to see us today?" Liu Xiaoshan said hurriedly: "Madam, I am a bald man who turned into a monk and made a living. As a county magistrate, I have to find a place to hide. Just go in. I came to report to the provincial governor, but people said he went down. I had to wait until he came back and he was fine, so I went to see the old chief. " Li Zhenhua talked to him about work matters and asked him about it. The construction status of the Sichuan Pharmaceutical Factory. Liu Xiaoshan happily introduced the progress of the project to the emperor. One workshop has been completed and is now testing a set of equipment. It is a set of equipment supported by the Pharmaceutical Research Institute. With it, we can start production now. After we can only produce some tablets, we can produce injections. Some of the prescriptions in Qingcheng Mountain are still very good. Now that we have some orders, we need to hurry up. Li Zhenhua asked him about the local farmers' issues, and Liu Xiaoshan also reported one by one, saying that their farmers' income had increased two to three times. The farmers were very satisfied and said that the emperor's new deal was good. Li Zhenhua smiled and immediately asked: "Your area is a multi-ethnic area. What is the situation regarding ethnic minorities?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to Qidian Mobile Network (qidicn) to reward you.

Text Chapter 508 Happy Miao Village (1) Paid Chapters (8 points) Chapter 508 The Happy Miao Village (1) Chapter 508 The Happy Miao Village (1) The beautiful Miao family village is as lively as the Chinese New Year today. Usually there are marriages between men and women, but it has never been like this. It's the same today because a girl in the village is getting married today. The man is the county magistrate of his side. Sin got the news and the provincial governor and the emperor are coming here. The old people in the tribe decided that everyone will be here today. Come together and help. People have been busy since early in the morning. The venue for the evening celebration has already been cleared. The grass by the river is the main place for the evening celebration. A group of girls and children have cleaned it up. A place by the river is everyone's kitchen. The fine wine, meat, and Miao specialties that the family has treasured for a long time are all ready and waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive. People from other villages who were invited in the afternoon also came. They are compatriots from other ethnic minorities. They all know that the county magistrate, provincial governor and the emperor are coming today. Over the past few months, the government's good policies have been implemented one by one. Only those who are suppressed at the bottom know that they also have the dignity of being human, that they are also equal human beings, a member of our Chinese Empire, and a member of our Chinese nation. The chiefs of various ethnic groups sat together. They knew that they had received the care of the country since the last county magistrate. The government, the army, the checkpoints, the bandits, and the squire who specifically bullied them no longer dared to bully them. Although they don't quite understand it, they know that the dynasty has changed. A villager who was specifically responsible for the lookout ran over and said to the old patriarch: "When the Han people came, they also came with a lot of troops." The tribesmen were immediately stunned. Didn't they say they were going to hold a wedding? Why did the troops come? When the old patriarch heard that something was wrong, he slowly stood up and said to those who came to congratulate him: "Don't let me take a look. I want to see what these Han people are doing?" " Some other people from various ethnic groups also said: "Then let's go together. They won't come to cause trouble for us. ¡± The court presidents of all ethnic groups walked away together. From a distance, they saw that some troops were coming. Their obvious camouflage uniforms made everything. The steel guns on their chests proved that it was our Miao people again today. Is it a catastrophe for the family? But the one who walked in the front was the flower of their tribe. The lotus girl saw her running over quickly. As she ran, she shouted happily: "The patriarch, the emperor, and the army are coming. "The old clan leader did not go forward. He just stood there. Hehua was still running. Suddenly, several young men from the tribe appeared in front of her. The steel knives and shotguns in their hands blocked Hehua's path. Hehua was stunned. When did we Did the Miao family use swords and guns to welcome the distinguished guests? A young man said to her coldly: "Hehua, what are you doing here with the Han army today?" Hehua was very angry and said to the young man: "Get out of the way, I want to talk to the old patriarch." "The old patriarch at the back said to them: "Let her come over and see what she has to say? " Looking at the expressions of people in the tribe who were thousands of miles away, Hehua didn't understand. She walked up to the old patriarch in a few steps. She said to the old patriarch: "Grandfather, what are you doing? Is this to welcome distinguished guests? ". The old patriarch said to her unceremoniously: "Hehua, we sincerely treat you and your Han husband, why did they come with the army to deal with us? Is this what they arranged to deal with us? ". Hearing what the old patriarch said, Hehua understood that the people in the tribe had misunderstood, so she hurriedly said: "Grandpa Patriarch, there are troops coming, but look at what they are carrying? This is the rice that the emperor and the governor gave to us. They brought it to us, shouldn't we go and pick it up? How uncomfortable does this make people feel? " When the people heard this, they hurriedly took a few steps forward. Sure enough, they saw that the soldiers' shoulders were covered with pockets, and the bulging inside should be food. The few soldiers in front were walking, but in the several cottages in front of them, But the young man stopped them. When he saw that they were stopped, a cadre at the front put down the pocket on his shoulder, took off the hat on his head, fanned the wind with his hat and said: "Young man, we are giving gifts, but you don't accept them." ah. He turned around and said to the soldiers behind him: "We've arrived. Let's sit down and take a rest." He Hua stomped his feet anxiously and said to the old patriarch: "Grandpa, hurry up or else we will be said to be rude to our guests." " When the old patriarch arrived, he had nothing to say. He immediately said: "Children, go up and take over the bags from the army. "The leading young man has already come over. He said to Hehua: "Hehua, please give me these few days."All the old people are" Hehua immediately said to several old people: "Grandpa, this is my husband. His name is Liu Xiaoshan." Then he said to Liu Xiaoshan: "Xiaoshan, this is our old patriarch. Liu Xiaoshan immediately bowed to the old patriarch and said, "Hello, Grandpa. I've been too busy with work recently and haven't bothered to come here to visit you. Please forgive me." This is the first time I have come to know that the folks in the mountains are living in difficulty. On the entrustment of the emperor and the governor, I first sent five thousand kilograms of rice to the mountains. After a while, we will all be better after the new rice comes. ¡± The tears of the old patriarch were lingering in his eyes. The Miao family has never been paid attention to by the defendant. Now the county magistrate personally delivers rice to people. Is this not touching? The old patriarch¡¯s lips trembled for a long time. It didn't make any sense. He just asked: "Didn't the Emperor also say that he would come? Where is he? Liu Xiaoshan pointed behind him and said to the old patriarch: "Look at that one." "The old people looked back and saw that there was indeed a man in the team who was not wearing a military uniform. He also had a pocket on his shoulder. The old patriarch said nothing and he hurried forward. Behind him were a group of patriarchs and chiefs of various tribes. A group of old people rushed to Li Zhenhua and knelt down in a hurry: "Your Majesty, please punish the guilty people. The guilty people should not doubt the Emperor. "As he spoke, he could no longer control the tears he had held back and finally shed them. Li Zhenhua was shocked. What was this for? Why did they all kneel down and hurriedly put down their food bags to help the old people? How could those people get up? Anxious Li Zhenhua said to them: "If you don't get up, do you want me to kneel down for you? ". When people heard this, they hurriedly got up from the ground and stood bent down in front of Li Zhenhua. The lotus girl came over and said: "Everyone, let's go together. We will talk somewhere. "The people then walked up the mountain with Li Zhenhua. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidicn. Your support is my biggest motivation.) Chapter 508 Happy Miao Village (1) Text Chapter 509 Happy Miao Village (2) Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 509 The Happy Miao Village (2) Chapter 509 The Happy Miao Village (2) When we arrived at the river, everything was already ready. Everyone was sitting on the ground. The Miao family members enthusiastically put the various dishes that had been prepared long ago. The game was brought out, and some fungi just picked were fresh. The hard-working Miao women processed them and served them steaming hot. There were also some Miao people's unique dietary wild fruits, etc., as well as their own special fruits. The wine was served together. Li Zhenhua also brought people some liquor and many cans of various types and placed them in front of people. As the hosts, the old patriarch and Li Zhenhua sat together. On one side was the governor Sun Jingxuan. On the other side was the local county magistrate and the son-in-law of their Miao family, Liu Xiaoshan. The enthusiastic girls filled the wine bowls in front of everyone with wine. Liu Xiaoshan was the first to suggest : "First of all, a toast to their old county magistrate, Ming Xin Magistrate." Everyone agreed to raise their glasses to the sky and then lightly sprinkled the wine on the ground. The leaders of all ethnic groups once again raised their glasses to the emperor, and then the provincial governor Sun Jingxuan and Liu Xiaoshan insisted not to let everyone toast to themselves. Instead, Li Zhenhua proposed a toast to the unity of all ethnic groups, and then began to hold a unique Miao family wedding. . The ceremony was very simple. When the newly dressed Lotus girl appeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes lit up. The Lotus girl wearing Miao costumes looked even more charming and beautiful. Sun Jingxuan said to Li Zhenhua on the side: "This boy has found a good wife." After a while, it got dark and people lit many bonfires around and among them. The enthusiastic Miao girls and boys began to dance. The unique bronze drums were beaten, the reeds were played, and people danced and sang. The whole scene was extremely joyful. Jin Xifeng couldn't bear her temper anymore. She also danced a Korean dance. Not to mention that Jin Xifeng's dance was really unique. Li Zhenhua also ended. However, there was nothing outstanding about his dance, but one of his songs made people happy. It turned out that he was singing "My Motherland": A big river with wide waves The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides My family lives on the bank I'm used to hearing the boatman's call I'm used to seeing the white sails on the boat. The soldiers on one side sang in the chorus: "This is the beautiful motherland. It is where I grew up. In this vast land, there are beautiful scenery everywhere." Li Zhenhua sang again and this time Jin Xifeng joined in: "The girl is like a flower" The young man is so broad-minded In order to open up a new world, he awakened the sleeping mountains and made the river change its appearance. The soldiers on one side sang again: "This is the motherland of heroes. It is where I grew up. In this ancient land, there is the power of youth everywhere." Li Zhenhua and Jin Xifeng continued to sing: "Good mountains, good water, good places. All roads are wide. When friends come, there is good wine. If the jackal comes, there is a shotgun to greet it." (Together) This is a powerful motherland. It is where I grew up. In this warm land, there is bright sunshine everywhere. The drinking lasted until late at night. Everyone was almost drunk. When Li Zhenhua got up the next day, The sun was already shining high. Jin Xifeng said to Li Zhenhua: "Yesterday, you, the emperor, had no image at all and you were just an ordinary citizen." Li Zhenhua smiled: "I would rather be like ordinary people every day, but that's not possible. Oh, so many things have restricted me. It would be great if I could be with my beautiful wife and concubine like this every day. " "I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in this life. You will never let go of your country and your people. "You have to fight for this goal for your whole life." "Yes, I have to fight for my people for a lifetime. Are you willing?" "I have no choice to follow you. I can only be yours. Even if you fight for the rest of your life, I will always be with you." Li Zhenhua put Jin Xifeng's hand in his own: "Let's work together Let's fight for this goal together." When Sun Jingxuan came, he said to Li Zhenhua: "No, I have to go back. There are too many things waiting for me at home. Your Majesty, just rest here for two days. The master has arranged for you to go hunting today. You know I'm not good at this, just go ahead and I'll get out of here."  The two were talking about the old patriarch over there having sent someone to invite them. At the dinner table, Sun Jingxuan said to the old patriarch and the others: "I'm going back today. If you have anything to do, just say hello to Liu Xiaoshan this time." I didn¡¯t know you would have so many villages coming. The government of your other villages has also arranged some food supplies first. Everything will be fine after autumn.¡± After dinner, Sun Jingxuan went back to Li Zhenhua, the newlywed Liu Xiaoshan, and other villagers. Some good hunters went hunting together in the mountains. We divided into several groups and everyone agreed to compete to see who had gained the most, so they separated. In the afternoon, with the skills of Li Zhenhua, Jin Xifeng and Sun Feihu, their group was naturally the first. Seeing Li Zhenhua and the others' so many gains, those from all walks of life were shocked. The good hunters in the village admired those heroes very much. Sun Feihu said to them: "The Emperor is not only a good hunter, he has also killed a tiger." When those people heard this, they asked Li Zhenhua to tell him how he killed one. They heard that he only used a dagger to kill a tiger. Tiger was even more impressed. They all hoped that Li Zhenhua could show them his skills, so Li Zhenhua shot them a few times. Of course, the gun was not empty, and they also had to show off. However, the result was not satisfactory. Li Zhenhua knew that there was nothing wrong with their skills, but the main reason was that their guns were not good, so he shot Liu Xiaoshan said that in the future, he could consider distributing some guns to these specialized hunters, but the guns and ammunition must be strictly managed. The hunters screamed with joy when they heard this. Hehua said to them: "You don't have to hunt to make a living in the future. You can also go down to the mountains and work in factories. That way you can support your family." The hunter was even more happy when he heard that. He knew that hunting is a job that does not support the elderly. If you don't support a young person, you can't do a job even if you are old. It can only be done by people of the right age. It would be good if you could go down to work. Li Zhenhua also told them that after each of you has worked for fifteen years, the state will support you. After you turn fifty, the state will give you a certain living guarantee every month. When you get old, you don't have to rely on your children and you can support yourself. Everyone talked along the way back to the village. Li Zhenhua was also going back. The main reason why he asked Liu Xiaoshan to stay a few more days was so that he could truly understand the situation of these ethnic minorities so that he could better care for and help them.

Chapter 509 Happy Miao Village (2) Text Chapter 510 The Rothschild Family Paid Chapter (8 points) Chapter 510 The Rothschild Family Chapter 510 The Rothschild Family Li Zhenhua returned to the military camp in Youyang, and Liu Xiaoshan soon returned. He brought a message from the minority leaders in Youyang From now on, they will always be aligned with the Chinese Empire and will never do anything to be sorry for the Chinese Empire. Li Zhenhua knows that these inland ethnic minorities will always be aligned with the Chinese and British governments. They have no intention of separatism or rebellion. Li Zhenhua said to Liu Xiaoshan: "These ethnic minorities will not change their minds. You must always treat them as your brothers." A few days later, Geng Qiulin came to his door. He provided such information to Li Zhenhua. A suspicious British woman also She is also a very beautiful woman and is now under direct surveillance by the intelligence agency. This person is very suspicious. She came to the Chinese Empire with the British Commercial Counselor, but she was not with those people, but when she was with the British People respect her very much, but she knows a lot about the situation in Sichuan. She wants to know everything, except for the military aspect. She seems not interested in the military aspect, but she does not ask about the economic aspect. There is no one who doesn¡¯t understand. Originally, after Li Zhenhua went to Chengdu, she also followed him to Chengdu. However, when Li Zhenhua came back, she also came back. In the past two days, she began to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts. Today, she even went to the emperor's residence to find out that she wanted to see the emperor's guards. She said that the emperor was not around before she left, but she asked him to be interviewed by him when he came back. Li Zhenhua doesn¡¯t have a good impression of the British in this world, but as soon as he heard that a beautiful British woman came to see him, he thought again that I have no friendship with the British. What is a British woman doing here if she doesn¡¯t even know her? What is the purpose? Li Zhenhua thought for a moment and said to Geng Qiulin: "Do you know her name?" "It seems to be called Rothschild or something?" "Rothschild?" Why is this name so familiar? Li Zhenhua thought about it carefully, but it must not be the one he knows now. He must have known it before. But what was her purpose? He knew immediately: "If she comes tomorrow, arrange a meeting with her." Li Zhenhua immediately notified Beijing to let them collect as much information as possible about the Rothschild family from Britain, France, Germany and other countries as soon as possible The better. The situation of their family is not limited by time. The next day, some information about the Rothschild family obtained from intelligence, diplomacy, and finance was received and placed on Li Zhenhua's desk after Jin Xifeng sorted it out. The Rothschild family (also known as the Rothschild family and the Red Shield family) became prosperous in the early 19th century. Its founder was Meyer? ? Rothschild yer amsc r). He and his five sons (known as the "Five Luo Tigers" by some). They successively opened banks in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and other famous European cities and established the largest financial kingdom in the world at that time. In 19th century Europe, Rothschild became almost synonymous with money and wealth. It is estimated that around 1850 the Rothschild family accumulated a total wealth equivalent to US$6 billion. In their heyday, most governments in Europe almost always lent money to their families. Meyer? ? Rothschild's five sons are: Amslow amsc mayer rschild (17731855) Frankfurt Solomon mayer rschild (17741855) Vienna Nathan Mayer rschild (17771836) London Karl mmayer rschild (17881855) Naples James mayer rschild (17921868) Paris The family motto of the Rothschild family: "As soon as money makes noise, bad words stop." "As long as you are united, you are invincible. The day you break up will be the beginning of your loss of prosperity." "We must maintain family harmony." The Rothschild family is low-key but everywhere. After more than 200 years of changes, the Rothschild family seems to have become smaller, but in fact it has become larger. Unlike the flamboyant American capitalism, the Rothschild family acts in a low-key manner. Most people can only encounter it when reading history books. But the reality is that it's everywhere. Li Zhenhua clearly knew that by the 20th century, the world's major gold market was also controlled by his family. The Rothschild family had accumulated a total wealth equivalent to US$50 trillion. It can be said that the financial empire established by this family has influenced the development of history throughout Europe and even the entire world. Until now, the Rothschild family's bank has refused to go public, which means it does not have to publish an annual report at all. ?Only the core members of the family know how much business they have invested in the earth and how much money they have earned over the past hundred years. Its influence on the world economy can only be discovered by a very small number of careful professionals. How can ordinary people see the shadow of the Rothschild family from the skyrocketing price of iron ore a few years ago? Similarly, only a few people can find out the clues about how deeply the Rothschild family is involved in the new economy represented by the Internet. In fact, it was the Rothschild family who acted as a financing consultant for the British government's 3G mobile communications license auction in 2004. However, this news was never seen in the Wall Street Journal. Just as Ford is synonymous with the American automobile industry, the Rothschild family has long become a symbol of the financial industry. After more than 100 years of ups and downs, the family has prospered, wealth, and the powerful. The passage of time has not changed the way it succeeds at all. In this regard, the German poet Heine once said a very classic saying: Money is the God of our time and Rothschild is its prophet. Li Zhenhua also knows the five arrows, the emblem of the Rothschild family. Moritz, the Rothschild family's personal artist? A painting by Oppenheimer reveals the symbolic meaning of this family emblem. This painting depicts a story in the Bible: a dying father asked his five sons to break the five arrows bundled together. When they were at their wits' end, the father took apart the bundle of arrows and broke one of them. It is said that the strength of a family comes from unity. An arrow is easily broken. Five arrows are held together and are not easily broken. As our Chinese proverb goes, "Brothers working together can break gold." And we in China also have this story that teaches children to unite and help each other. The Rothschild brothers have always remembered this ancient fable. After their father's death they went their separate ways hoping to create the world's first family bank. Before his death, old Rothschild told his children: "We must stay together in times of trouble" and "teach them to have an unswerving family concept." (To be continued.

The security guard brought a foreign woman with red hair, to be precise, a long A very beautiful young woman. In the eyes of today's Chinese people, they don't like the white skin of white people, especially the large sweat pores. But this woman has no shortcomings. She is just perfect. With this combination, you can only marvel that God is so unfair to her. He has added all the good things to her. It is impossible to describe her with any good words. After she came in, she came to Li Zhenhua and curtsied gracefully to His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. The guard led her to a seat on one side, put a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of her and then left. The lady sat down gracefully and said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for disturbing you." "I believe Your Majesty already knows about me. I just want to make friends with Your Majesty." "Is it that simple?" Li Zhenhua's tone was obviously doubtful. "Your Majesty is really smart. I knew you wouldn't believe it." The young lady was obviously dissatisfied with her answer. The young emperor opposite was not very smart. Otherwise, he would not have achieved a series of outstanding external achievements. The lady took out a small box next to her and said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, here is a small gift for you. I hope you like it." The lady stood up and delivered the small box to the table in front of Li Zhenhua and opened it gently with her hands. Then he gently pushed it in front of Li Zhenhua. But Li Zhenhua didn't look at those priceless coins but said to her: "What's your name? Don't tell me your name is Joan of Arc." After hearing that, the lady was immediately stunned. How could he know that I had used She had this name and it was our Jewish saint and heroine, but she still told the emperor of the Chinese Empire: "My name is Susan Joan of Arc, which is also the name I once used." Li Zhenhua nodded and looked towards Li Zhenhua noticed that there were two ancient coins in the small box. Li Zhenhua immediately thought of Meyer, the founder of the Rothschild family? ? Rothschild used his family to make ancient coins. It seems that his family is still doing this kind of business. It seems that her family has a natural hobby for coins and has a deep connection with various coins. Li Zhenhua said to her: "Your family started by dealing in ancient coins. Now you also plan to continue the business in our Chinese Empire." ?¡± ¡°Yes, but if I were just dealing in ancient coins, there would be no need for me to come to you.¡± ¡°Then tell me your real purpose.¡± Li Zhenhua never likes to talk in roundabout ways, but today, with this beautiful lady. He seemed to be fascinated by her in front of him. But he didn't forget to remind her that you should get to the point and stop beating around the bush. Susan noticed Li Zhenhua's psychological changes. She stood up and started to take off her clothes. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but said in her heart: "This beautiful lady is too useless. Is she going to do something to" Suddenly Li Zhenhua's sexual thoughts stopped because in A scar appeared in front of his eyes. It started from the left shoulder, passed through the woman's vital parts, and then ended up on the right side of the abdomen. Li Zhenhua stood up and walked in front of her. He stretched out his hand to touch the scar. A slight tremor spread to Li Zhenhua's hand. He suddenly understood that it was not good to touch a girl's body like this. He stared at it. She stopped and asked fiercely: "Who did it?" "The Tsar's Cossack cavalry." "These bastards" Li Zhenhua scolded him fiercely. He suddenly understood that this little girl is not simple. She is going to use this scar to Stir up my hatred for the Russians, but I don¡¯t need her to stir up my hatred of them. I don¡¯t have a good impression of them in the first place, but I can¡¯t expose my thoughts prematurely, so let her finish everything. Seeing that Li Zhenhua calmed down again, Miss Susan's eyes also calmed down. She asked Li Zhenhua: "Does your Majesty have any thoughts on Russia's accelerated construction of the Far East Railway?". "What does Miss Susan think of this?" Li Zhenhua did not answer directly but asked her a rhetorical question. "The purpose of Russia's construction of the Far East Railway, as you Chinese say, is that everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions. Their purpose is nothing more than to use troops against your northern territories." Here Susan actually used Sima Zhao's intentions, everyone knows her. He has put a lot of effort into Chinese culture. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to say: "I know this." "I also know that you are already building the railway line from Beijing to Kyaktu via Kulun in preparation for the use of troops against Russia." "This is not surprising. We have to be on guard when the enemy is preparing to attack us. But Miss Susan, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right? Have you discovered any business opportunities in this?" "Your Majesty said there are no business opportunities, but this is very beneficial to us." "Oh, please, Miss. What's the benefit to you?" "Your Majesty should know that I am a Jew. We are a nation without a motherland. Our nation exists all over the world. Even your country has our own people, but they have all been destroyed by you. "The nation has been assimilated." 1770 Susan picked up the cup and took a sip of water and then said: "Like them, it is a good choice to survive in China and eventually be assimilated. But most countries in the world are persecuting our nation. Russia is one of them. We have already lost tens of thousands of people to them. Now your army is going to attack them. Isn¡¯t it good for us?" "That's true." Li Zhenhua also took a sip of tea and continued: "But this is not of any practical help to your nation." "On the surface it is not helpful, but in fact it is of great help. Russia only investigates If they attack the Chinese Empire, they will definitely not care about the people who persecute us, and your attack on them is the old saying: the enemy of the enemy is our friend. We must help our friends here." (To be continued. If you. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidicn.

"Do you still remember?". "" () Susan said: "That year you led the army to capture Harbin. What did you do to the foreigners in Harbin?" "I just didn't put them into a prisoner camp and let them continue their normal activities. business. Is this helping you?¡± "It was your decision that gave our Jewish people hope that this general in the East might be our friend in the future. From then on, we began to pay attention to your actions. In the end, you became the emperor of this great Eastern country. Some of the main figures in our clan began to study you and found that you are different from ordinary monarchs. You are a person with lofty ideals and goals. Unlike other monarchs, you have a tolerant heart towards outsiders. " "As you and your country develop and grow, especially the economic development, it is completely beyond our expectations. After research, the leaders of our clan began to focus their attention on the East. This time I came to the Chinese Empire and was influenced by Assigned by the higher-ups, I have been observing your country for several months and found that this ancient eastern power is rising. We must come here to invest. Of course, when we come here, we must make money in some places. It¡¯s money, but the main thing is to see you and hope to get more help from you in the future.¡± ¡°Of course we won¡¯t just ask for benefits, but we will also make some necessary contributions to your country.¡± Li Zhenhua smiled. Standing up, he said: "I will not refuse the help of my friends. How do you plan to help us?" "You may know that we supported Japan's attack on China." Susan said that she was afraid that Li Zhenhua would be unhappy. Li Zhenhua's face showed no change before he continued: "At that time, we knew that the Japanese nation would not stick to that island. They would definitely conflict with Russia after entering China. But what we didn't expect was that after many years of preparation, The Japanese navy and army were easily defeated by you, and you defeated Russia easily. Although a lot of our funds were lost as a result, we saw new hope. " "How did you help the Japanese? To persuade the British government to give loans to the Japanese?" "Almost, but we raised funds in the UK by issuing war bonds. At that time, we issued a total of 500 million yen in bonds for Japan." "Then how much funds can you raise for us?" "It will not be less than theirs. But due to the delicate relationship between the British government and the Chinese imperial government, I think we can issue the same in France, Germany and Austria. The British will not be too small." Sun Feihu came in and whispered in Li Zhenhua's ear. Li Zhenhua looked at his watch and said a few words to Sun Feihu. Sun Feihu went out. Li Zhenhua said to Susan: "Look, we just talked. It's getting late. Let's have a meal together." Susan smiled. Said: "Then don't bother Your Majesty." Li Zhenhua laughed: "You're welcome, didn't you say so? We are friends." Susan also laughed happily. Her mission has been completed. This emperor is different from other monarchs. Most others covet their beauty, but the emperor of the Chinese Empire has far-reaching political and economic vision. He is not obsessed with his beauty but is committed to the future and destiny of his country. This ancient country is under his rule. They will definitely become an important political force in the world now and they will gain a lot from laying a good foundation in the future. The lunch was very sumptuous. They talked while eating. Li Zhenhua asked about the origin of Susan's scar. Susan told him that it was five years ago when she was eighteen years old. Russia began a new round of persecution of Jews by the British. Jews from several countries, including France, Germany, etc., formed a rescue team. They wanted to go deep into the Russians to rescue their compatriots. When the mission was about to be completed, they clashed with the Cossack cavalry. In her hand was a knife. dagger and a Belgian six-wheeler. The Cossack cavalry rushed towards them. She shot two Cossack cavalry with her pistol, but the gun in her hand was out of bullets. Another cavalry rushed over and stabbed her fiercely. If she hadn't suddenly thrown the dagger at that person. The cavalry would not spare her life with the strength of that cavalry. Their team passed through Poland and entered Frankfurt, where she really received treatment. Fortunately, she survived. This is why she has a strong sense of revenge against Russia.??. Hearing this, Jin Xifeng said to her: "Miss Susan, I will give you a pistol. There are twenty rounds, ten rounds and eight rounds. You can choose it yourself." Susan smiled and said, "No need. Since then, my family has banned me from going out. This time when I came to the Chinese Empire, my people had to persuade me to let me go. Otherwise, I would still stay at home and count the stars every day." Jin Xifeng immediately smiled. Said: "Then don't treat yourself to our place and taste our delicious food." As Jin Xifeng was picking up food for Susan again, Susan said hurriedly: "Madam, please stop taking care of me. My body will get fat." "Are you still fat? Not so. That's good, right?" Jin Xifeng looked at Li Zhenhua with an ambiguous look. Having made some arrangements for work in Sichuan, Li Zhenhua is going back to Beijing, Susan? Miss Rothschild also returned to Beijing with Li Zhenhua. On the way, Li Zhenhua mainly studied and worked with Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Xinghua, while Susan and Jin Xifeng were together every day. Soon the two became confidants and talked about everything. close friend. Jin Xifeng's experience of studying in the UK gave the two more topics to talk about. The scenery on the Yangtze River is very beautiful, but the thrilling scene when passing through the Three Gorges also left a deep impression on everyone. The Three Gorges is the general name of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge. At that time, it was a veritable dangerous shoal. If you were not careful, it would be The result of the ship crash was that people were killed. But for thousands of years, the boatmen on the Yangtze River have relied on their outstanding skills and courage to make a living on this waterway. During Li Zhenhua's trip on the Yangtze River, the sailors were all specially selected by Shen Baoxiang. They have been skilled for many years. I have accumulated rich experience walking on this route. Even this made people who rarely sailed on the Yangtze River fearful. The two women on the boat were not ordinary people. People did not hear them scream. They just held on tightly like the soldiers. Looking at the handrails on the ship and watching the skilled movements of the boatmen, I experienced the real feeling of "the flying boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains". (To be continued.

Chapter 512 Friends Falling from the Sky (2) Text Chapter 513 Changes Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 513 Changes Chapter 513 Changes Entering the Yangtze River in Hankou, the river seemed much calmer. Li Zhenhua finally returned to Jin Xifeng¡¯s room. As soon as he entered, Li Zhenhua felt that Jin Xifeng¡¯s room had a faint medicinal smell. Li Zhenhua had never I didn't think that Jin Xifeng had used cosmetics with this smell, so Li Zhenhua couldn't help but ask: "Afeng, why is there a medicinal scent in your room?" "No, why don't I feel it?" Li Zhenhua sniffed again. The smell became more obvious. Jin Xifeng suddenly understood and said, "Is it the smell of the medicine that the old Taoists gave us?" After saying that, she went to get the small medicine box they gave us and took it out, and it turned out that the smell was even stronger. Li Zhenhua took the medicine box and opened it. Sure enough, it was the smell of these medicines. There were more than twenty antique small porcelain bottles arranged inside. One of them was larger and the others were smaller. They were twenty small bottles. Jin Xifeng said to Li Zhenhua Said: "This is what the Taoist priests gave me. They asked me to give it to you when I go back. These are for us sisters to use. Each of us must not take more. If you take more, you will regret it." ("") There is a bottle specially given to you, so you can¡¯t use it wrong. They say that these medicines have miraculous effects, especially those used by women, which can improve people¡¯s physical fitness and beauty. Anyway, there are a lot of benefits, so I took them. "Looking at the old-looking box, Li Zhenhua knew that this must be the medicine developed by the Taoists. They would never give it to others. In the end, it was given to Jin Xifeng. It must be a treasure that they themselves recognized and did not give it to them directly because they were afraid that they would think it was valuable. When they refused, they turned a corner and asked Jin Xifeng to take the medicine. Now they had no way to return it. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua said to Jin Xifeng: "Then take one pill first." Jin Xifeng replied: "I want to take it with my two sisters when I go back." "Isn't it just a pill? Even if there is nothing, let them go back. Let¡¯s see how effective this medicine is.¡± ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll listen to you and see if this medicine is as effective as the Taoist priests said.¡± After that, he took the hot water and opened a small bottle and took out a pill inside. Swallow the medicine into your mouth. The medicine immediately melts into your mouth, and the fragrance in your mouth disappears. As the water washes down, only the fragrance in your mouth remains. Jin Xifeng said to Li Zhenhua: "It tastes good. Why don't you take yours?" "I won't accept it now. I have to read a document. You should rest first." Suddenly Jin Xifeng covered her own pills with her hands. The color of her belly and face also changed. She hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the bathroom. Li Zhenhua said in his heart that this woman sometimes does not take the temperature to her heart for the sake of beauty. She must have been a little bit cold. Today she has to worry about herself. Cold and distressed. He just sat down and read the documents, but it didn't take long before Jin Xifeng ran to the bathroom several times. Li Zhenhua immediately wondered if she had been poisoned, but it didn't look like she had done anything other than run to the bathroom. She showed signs of discomfort until she stopped running five or six times. Jin Xifeng asked Li Zhenhua: "Is there something wrong with the medicine I took?" "It's impossible. You didn't show any symptoms of poisoning at all." "I also feel that I feel much better. This medicine is really weird." "Okay." Let's get some rest tomorrow. We are going to rest there for two days. Why don't you go to the street and take a look at the scenery of the Yangtze River?" Jin Xifeng replied quietly and glanced at Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua knew that this little boy The girl's thoughts also accompanied her as she lay down. Jin Xifeng immediately stuck to Li Zhenhua like an octopus. After the two of them went crazy for a while, Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "This medicine is probably a kind of medicine. These Taoist priests wish they could make me sick." "A child from a company." The next day when the boat arrived in Hankou, Li Zhenhua still didn't say hello to the local authorities. He accompanied Jin Xifeng and Susan to the street. Sun Feihu and several guards followed him in plain clothes and saw this place from a distance. It¡¯s very different from a few years ago. The streets are bustling. People¡¯s pace of life has obviously sped up. Those people used to have pretty faces. Now people¡¯s mental outlook is much better. After looking at the local commercial shops, Susan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this city in the Chinese Empire can be compared with some big cities in Europe. It's just as beautiful as that. It seems that you will surpass them soon." Li Zhenhua What he said in his heart: "It is certain to overtake them, but it will only happen in more than ten years. When they start fighting in Europe, we will be able to overtake them." But when the words came to his mouth, they turned into: "Now there are many places in Europe. It is an example for us to learn from and we will definitely learn from it.Try your best to catch up with them. " Several people were getting tired from walking around. Susan's little face also showed a tired look. Li Zhenhua suggested: "Let's go to the restaurant in front to have something to eat. I guess you are all a little hungry too. "The two girls readily agreed, so they walked to the restaurant. The waiter welcomed them upstairs and arranged a window for them overlooking the river. Several plainclothes guards also went upstairs not far from them. Sitting down in a place, I didn¡¯t know what to tell, but an expert could tell that they had closely protected the three of them. Li Zhenhua asked the waiter to arrange some of their specialty dishes and some local specialties, and then drank. While sipping tea and waiting for the food to be served, I listened to the gossips of the diners on the side. It seemed that a small number of them were idlers. Some of them were also chatting about business situations. There was no news worth listening to. They were mainly talking about some recent news in Sichuan. The emperor personally went on an expedition to eliminate the bandits. But the biggest change is that some people have begun to speak in standard dialect. It was very difficult to know that Li Zhenhua came here a few years ago and listened to people's speeches. It used to be that the boss posted the same note "Don't talk about national affairs" in obvious places. Now he has also caught up with the trend and actually placed newspapers in obvious places in the store. It seems that no one is prohibiting people from paying attention to national affairs. This is also a progress. As a member of their family who is very proficient in business and banking, Susan is not interested in these private business activities. However, she is greatly impressed by the beautiful scenery on the Yangtze River. She thinks the scenery here is really beautiful. The water on the river is rolling eastward, and the white sails are dotted by those machine ships, which are also pulling long black smoke. Occasionally, one or two machine ships flying foreign flags will pass by. This is the biggest change on the Yangtze River. Those machines of the Chinese Empire. Like those foreign ships, the ship also has our own dragon flag on the bow and stern. The fast sailing ship has the flag shaking violently in the wind (To be continued.

Text Chapter 514 Political affairs are like a mountain Paid chapters (8 points) Chapter 514 Political affairs are like a mountain Chapter 514 Political affairs are like a mountain Listening to the two women praising the beautiful scenery on the river, Li Zhenhua is admiring the beautiful women. With these two beauties on the side, people are not interested in the beautiful scenery outside the window. The people next to them glanced at them from time to time, especially the foreign beauty (the average North Korean person couldn't tell the difference), which was even more attractive. Li Zhenhua couldn¡¯t help but feel a little acidic in his heart. Such beautiful scenery should be left to himself to enjoy. Others should always appreciate the tourist activities, so he ate in a hurry and several people started to wander around again. After two days of rest, they started their journey again, but this time it was much more comfortable. Li Zhenhua's special train was already waiting here. The journey was much faster after getting on the train. Li Zhenhua, Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Xinghua were still in the office compartment. There they were doing research while the two ladies were engaged in their endless whispering. Of course, the scenery on both sides of the train is also an indispensable topic for them. Soon they arrived in Beijing and the special train was already waiting on the platform. Today, only Feng Guozhang and Cen Chunxuan came to greet His Majesty the Emperor. Feng Guozhang and Cen Chunxuan represented several big shots in the Government Affairs Council. The car drove directly to the office of the Zhongnanhai Government Affairs Council, which is right here. Later, Li Zhenhua also thought it was good here, so he simply moved here. This made several people very dissatisfied. It is obvious that the Forbidden City is the place of your emperor, but you insist on talking to the people below us. It's a bit too crowded to be crowded together, isn't it? But if the emperor himself doesn't want to go, others can't help it. He actually wanted the common people to visit the many treasures in the Forbidden City. I don¡¯t know what the emperor was thinking, but Li Zhenhua clearly declared: The Forbidden City belongs to the country, not to me alone. Even the Summer Palace is the same. He asked the troops to take all the treasures in the Forbidden City. The treasures were moved to the Forbidden City, and all the eunuchs and maids in the Summer Palace changed careers and became garden workers. If they didn't want to, they could go home. So some of the young palace ladies got married on their own. Li Zhenhua did not treat the palace ladies badly and gave each of them a few hundred yuan in dowry money and a few hundred yuan in living allowances so that they could have a good life. Some older eunuchs who are willing to leave and those who are unwilling to leave become garden workers. The living expenses of dozens of yuan per month make their lives quite comfortable. The same is true in the Forbidden City. The first thing to be abolished was the imperial kitchen. Later, some places dedicated to serving people were removed. Only the security department and a few gardening, health and management personnel were left. The place that originally required tens of thousands of people is now only left. Hundreds of people. Sun Wen, who was in charge of agriculture, took the initiative. He took away all the eunuchs who were originally responsible for managing trees in the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace who were willing to leave, and made them responsible for future forestry matters. He established a small precious eunuch. The Tree Species Research Institute allows these people to work together to study forestry and tree issues. Qiao Zhiyong, the eunuchs in the imperial dining room, found them together and put them in charge of the emperor's catering services. They were asked to find a place on the spot in Beijing and use their own skills to support themselves. At first, they thought it was because the new government didn't care. But later they found that the new government was very humane because they all made a small fortune relying on their own craftsmanship. There were also some who did not want to be in Beijing because they were afraid that people would laugh at their status as eunuchs. Many people went to Jiangnan and other places, but the most went to Tianjin. Li Zhenhua laughed when he knew it. This is still the same as in history. Most of the eunuchs stayed here. Tianjin, but the reasons for this are different. It turned out that they followed Puyi to Tianjin, and then he went to Changchun with the Japanese and abandoned those people in Tianjin. But now it is the eunuchs who are willing to go to Tianjin. Li Zhenhua has made an agreement with the people in the Government Affairs Council to open the Forbidden City and Summer Palace to the public for fifteen days during the Spring Festival this year for people to visit. The management and security work was left to Ye Xiaoshan, an old acquaintance of the emperor. Out of his loyalty to the emperor, General Manager Ye decided that he would stay here forever. There was no point in going out, so he might as well manage the place he was familiar with. Just do something for the country. When we arrived at Zhongnanhai, many people and things were already waiting for Li Zhenhua. It is not an exaggeration to describe the government affairs as a mountain. As for government affairs, just tell him. It doesn't matter if something goes wrong. Everyone is still feeling the stones anyway. If you make a mistake while crossing the river, you can correct it as long as it does not cause any serious harm to the country. But Li Zhenhua usually takes a look at some military issues and some related scientific and technological matters. Relevant responsible cadres reported some situations to Li Zhenhua. For example, the construction of the Beijing-Kulun railway line presided over by Feng Guozhang has now reached six railway corps construction corps. There are already 200,000 people there. In addition, some migrant workers and prisoners of war have reached more than 300,000 people. NowThere has been a funding gap. Li Zhenhua¡¯s instructions were to continue and to speed up the project, it must be completed before the Far East Railway is built in Russia. The emperor would personally find a solution to the funding problem. The Ministry of Agriculture reported that the new rice variety they are trying to grow has doubled the yield based on the original. Li Zhenhua still said that he should continue to strive for new breakthroughs. This is a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and must be pursued unremittingly. Some of their technical personnel in the Postal and Telegraph Department under Sheng Xuanhuai have begun to use medium waves for wireless telegraph communications. In other words, they are already using the ionosphere of space for communication. The distance is extended, but the communication effect is unstable. Li Zhenhua means It is necessary to continue the experiment and stabilize it as soon as possible. This will be of great help to military communications and must be kept confidential. There is also good news from the Aircraft Research Institute. An aircraft that can increase transportation capacity has been released and can carry 600 kilograms of cargo Li Zhenhua also informed everyone about some of his situation in Sichuan. It turned out that it had been telegraphed. Now I will talk about it in more detail. In addition, he also talked about the construction of a pharmaceutical factory in Youyang and told everyone that the product will be ready before or after the year or two. The last question was about the issuance of bonds in Europe. Xu Shichang, who was in charge of finance, immediately said: "This is a good thing. We must let the banking industry of the Rothschild family facilitate things for us. Use their money to help us." It is definitely a good thing to grow stronger. "Li Hongzhang also said: "The good thing is that Japan made great use of this bond before the Sino-Japanese War. One of their fleets was purchased with this bond." (To be continued.

Text Chapter 515 The Value of Reputation Charged Chapter (8 points) Chapter 515 The Value of Reputation Chapter 515 The Value of Reputation According to the original information from the intelligence department, Japan issued 500 million yen bonds in the UK at that time, which can be said to have strongly supported their policy against China. However, due to the appearance of Li Zhenhua, their wishful thinking completely failed. The battle of Dadonggou Sea sent the Japanese dependent combined fleet into the sea. The elite troops of the Japanese Army, the First Army and the Second Army, successively Weihai and Liaodong were wiped out by Li Zhenhua's security forces. Japan¡¯s national power has since collapsed and it has become a country under the control of the Chinese Empire. But if Li Zhenhua hadn't appeared and everything had gone according to the original history, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet would have wiped out the Beiyang Navy in one fell swoop, then captured Weihai, taken the Beiyang Navy's retreat, wiped out the Chinese Navy, and then marched straight into the Northeast to occupy it. After entering China's Liaodong region, they launched a fierce battle with the Russians in the Northeast and finally won the Russo-Japanese War. Then the Rothschild family's investment in the Japanese was considered to have achieved its goal. But they did so at the expense of the interests of the Chinese people. Those present are unaware of these circumstances. Only Li Zhenhua knows the past and present of everything. But these people only know the current situation. They only know that the Rothschild family's investment in Japan was in vain. Now they want to support our Chinese Empire in a war with the Russians. It seems that this Rothschild The family does not hesitate to spend money for the interests of their own nation. Since the Rothschild family bank had supported the Japanese in the past, several people in the Government Council knew that this was a good thing, but they also had different opinions. First of all, Zhang Zhidong said: "I am disgusted with the behavior of the Rothschild family. They support Japan and support us at one time. They do not have an accurate position and I am unwilling to cooperate with such people." Liu Kunyi At one time, you had to be more cautious when cooperating with people from the Qin Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Muchu Dynasty, and Chu Dynasty. Be careful, you are treating them as friends, but they stab you in the back. This is very difficult to guard against. Sheng Xuanhuai knew Li Zhenhua's purpose. This can only be said to be a temporary thing. When we become strong, everyone will look at us differently. If we fail, we will have to be slaughtered by others. In the past, due to the weakness of the Qing government, the world was dominated by No one in the world looks down upon us. Now, because we have won the war against Japan and Russia, aren¡¯t all the powerful countries in the world smiling at us? So I say that as long as we can maintain a strong country forever, no one dares to be half-hearted with us. And now we are aware of this. Under the leadership of our wise emperor, our senior leaders and the broad masses of the people can unite as one, and we will still be able to do so. Who are you afraid of? Now they can only act based on our faces. Tang Jiong also lost no time in saying: "I also agree with Sheng Xuanhuai's opinion. As long as we keep the country strong, no one will dare to bully us." Feng Guozhang naturally stood with Li Zhenhua. Seeing that most people agreed to use Rothschild Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi also agreed with everyone's opinions. They were not really opposed to this method. They were just disgusted with the Rothschild family's original support for Japan. Naturally, everyone was very happy when the matter was passed satisfactorily. After discussing other matters for a while, everyone dispersed. Li Zhenhua returned to his residence to meet his family and have some intimacy with each other. Yaqi and Wang Xin were not interested in other things that Li Zhenhua brought back. They were only interested in the "beauty" medicines that Jin Xifeng brought out. However, they also ran to the bathroom many times after taking them. Let them slander these Taoist priests. One after another, Li Zhenhua was busy for three more days to finish those things. Susan came again. She wanted to ask Li Zhenhua for an approval letter to see if Li Zhenhua had decided on the matter. Li Zhenhua happily said to her: "The matter has been approved by the Government Affairs Council." It was unanimously decided to ask you to issue 500 million yuan of construction bonds abroad. Our Chinese empire is in desperate need of a lot of funds. With the support of your Rothschild Family Bank, we can reduce many difficulties. "As a gift, Li Zhenhua. I also gave her some gifts in return. Since her family likes ancient coins, I also gave her a few sword-shaped coins from the Warring States Period. Miss Susan, the princess of the Rothschild family, is leaving happily. She has to report to the family that she has received the approval of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. They will enter the Chinese Empire to carry out some business, and they can also open banks and related businesses in the Chinese Empire. And they helped the Chinese Empire issue 500 million yuan in construction bonds in Europe. They used all their domestic mineral resources as collateral. In fact, what the Rothschild family values ????is the belief in the Chinese Empire.?The minerals they used as collateral were just a name. If they were the original China, they would not care at all. After the meeting, Jin Xifeng escorted Miss Susan out of Li Zhenhua's office. Susan looked at Jin Xifeng and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, but she seems to be more radiant and charming." Jin Xifeng was naturally very happy with the woman's heartfelt praise. She asked a little uncontrollably: "Really?". "Of course, even I am a little jealous of you. Is the kind of cosmetics you use a secret of your Chinese Empire?" "It's nothing. I just took some medicines made by Taoist priests and they won't have any effect." How obvious is it?" "Oh my god, this change is really big. You can ask your emperor. He must love you more." Jin Xifeng's face turned red again: "You are making fun of me again. I'm going to ignore you." "That won't work. I will definitely ask you for this kind of medicine next time I come. The medicine that can make women beautiful is the most popular product in the world." Suddenly he talked about doing business again. It seems that this is caused by the inheritance of the Rothschild family. Seeing that Miss Susan was gone, Jin Xifeng hurriedly returned to her room and looked at Susan carefully in the mirror. It was true that her face had undergone some changes. She looked white and tender, which made her feel very comfortable. She gently came to Li Zhenhua's side and gave him a glass of water. Then she sat face to face with Li Zhenhua to see if Li Zhenhua noticed the changes in her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on qidicn.

Chapter 515 The value of reputation Text Chapter 516 The Emperor looks at a woman¡¯s thighs Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 516 The Emperor looked at the woman's thighs Chapter 516 The Emperor looked at the woman's thighs It took a long time for Li Zhenhua to face a living person in front of him, but he didn't notice it. Later, Jin Xifeng blocked all the light, and then Li Zhenhua raised his head At first, Jin Xifeng's charming little face appeared in front of his eyes. Looking at her big watery eyes, he suddenly felt that this little girl was becoming more mature and beautiful, which made his heart thump. The original Jin Xifeng seemed not to be what she is today. so pretty. "" Jin Xifeng blushed and said softly: "Aren't you enough to watch it every day?" "No, I think you are more beautiful than usual today." "You noticed it too?" Jin Xifeng couldn't help but exclaimed. "What did you find?" Li Zhenhua was a little confused as to what was going on with Jin Xifeng. "The changes in people after taking medicine." Li Zhenhua then remembered that women are such creatures, pursuing beauty, and nothing can stop it. He looked at Jin Xifeng in his eyes, and suddenly his mind reappeared that women in later generations would compete for each other. The business opportunity of buying lenses for high-end cosmetics is definitely the best business opportunity. You must know that the Jews have long said that it is the easiest to make money from women. As soon as he thought of it, Li Zhenhua immediately said to Jin Xifeng: "Go and inform Wang Xin and Yaqi to put them both in skirts and you can put them on and we go out to eat together." Jin Xifeng did not understand why her husband suddenly asked Went out to eat and asked everyone to put on skirts. You must know that it is not Sichuan and the weather is already very cold here, but women are like this. As long as they can show their beautiful side, they will be very happy and they will not care whether it is cold or not. At around eleven o'clock, Yaqi and Wang Xin appeared in front of Li Zhenhua in skirts and Jin Xifeng. Together, they were all very beautiful people. Even Li Zhenhua was a little shocked. They were really just the same. If a beautiful person is compared, they are really comparable, each with its own characteristics. Li Zhenhua sat them all down after a feast, and then said to them: "We will go out to eat together today, but before we go, I want to understand a little bit about the situation with you first." Several people were silent and waited for Li Zhenhua's next words: "First How do you feel after the three of you took the medicine given by the Taoist priests?" The three of them looked at each other and Yaqi said first, "I feel more refreshed than before, but I think sister A Feng's feels better. She has changed a lot, but she is much more beautiful than before. " "Yes," Wang Xin also said, "But what do you mean by the emperor? You asked us to come here to compare our beauty, right?" Li Zhenhua laughed: "No, I will continue. Second, lift up your skirts and let me take a look. "The emperor wants to see the woman's thighs. This is not a joke, but he is his husband and he has nothing to look at. All three of them raised their skirts. Lifting it up revealed her snow-white slender thighs. Li Zhenhua's eyes were on the tight spots on their old-fashioned socks. Wang Xin and Yaqi were tied with a ribbon. Wang Xin's socks were already loose in some places. Li Zhenhua gently pushed the socks with his hand and they came off by themselves. Jin Xifeng Li Zhenhua's socks were tied with a strip of natural rubber. When Li Zhenhua pulled them aside with his hands, a deep groove appeared at the place where they were originally tied. It was red for a long time, but it was very painful and at the same time it was not conducive to blood circulation. good. After admiring the beauty's thighs enough, Li Zhenhua said: "Okay, put it down. Today we will study this issue specifically. That is, the issue of women's products. Now, ladies, please speak." Li Zhenhua smiled and said that his words were meant to be a joke, but the three of them Everyone knew he wasn't joking. Li Zhenhua added another sentence: "The Jews have long said that women's money is the best to earn." Wang Xin immediately thought: "The emperor is asking us to use our brains to see how we can make money. He is I want to make money from women. "But since I have a special women's products store in Shanghai and a branch has opened in Beijing, I want to expand the scale. So Wang Xin immediately asked: "The emperor means that we should be able to make money by selling this medicine as a commodity. But how to solve the problem of socks?" Among these three people, it is really difficult to say that they are engaged in business. It would be better if Wang Xin, Yaqi and Jin Xifeng saw Wang Xin start talking and they just listened. Li Zhenhua said: "If the medicine cannot be sold, we must invite Chief Yuzhen to come up with a special beauty medicine that can be used by the public. As for the socks, we will use filaments made of natural rubber to knit the top of the socks." We call the straps woven from rubber threads elastic bands. Finally, the bra you are wearing now can also be processed and sold. The fourth one isWe want to specialize in the production of soaps, perfumes and cosmetics specifically for women. " "With these four products as our main products, we need to promote them all over the world so that we can make money. "After the three people listened, they were still digesting what Li Zhenhua said. If all these things could be produced, they would be able to make a lot of money." It was Wang Xin who spoke first: "This idea is very good, but how does it work?" " "That's your business. "Li Zhenhua said with a smile. "There are things I can operate, but there are things I don't have now that I can't operate. "Wang Xin stretched out his hands to Li Zhenhua. "These are all easy to say. Jin Xifeng, you are responsible for contacting the county magistrate Liu Xiaoshan of Youyang and asking him to ask Taoist Priest Yuzhen to come to Beijing immediately. Wang Xin, you are responsible for contacting the textile factory and asking them to study how to weave rubber and silk thread. At the same time, Yaqi notified the clothing factory in Shanghai to send two designers to Beijing to research and improve your bras. The fourth organization organized chemical research units and enterprises to cooperate so that they can produce perfumes and soaps as soon as possible. Then sell domestically first and then abroad. ¡± The women immediately became busy and even neglected to eat. Jin Xifeng immediately began to contact the county magistrate Liu Xiaoshan of Youyang and asked him to ask Taoist Priest Yuzhen to come to Beijing as soon as possible. Yaqi sent a telegram to the clothing factory in Shanghai to invite designers. When he arrived in Beijing, Wang Xin went to the textile factory to contact the chemical research institutes and enterprises for production issues, but they left it to the emperor himself. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but shook his head. It's incredible that women can make themselves more beautiful. They even put aside eating. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to move the time to eat with them to the evening. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidian Mobile Network (qidicn).

Text Chapter 517 Inspection of Railway Construction Paid Chapter (8 points) Chapter 517 Inspection of Railway Construction Chapter 517 Inspection of Railway Construction Li Zhenhua made arrangements for some things and he is going out for a tour again. The main thing he needs to see now is the railway from Beijing to Kulun and the navy. Battleships, armored vehicles of the army, and aircraft of the air force are all preparing for the next war with the Russians. These are weapons, and the most important part is logistics. The main work of logistics is railway transportation. "". Russia's Far East Railway has a lot less construction work now and no longer needs to build it that far because the large land east of the Ussuri River is now owned by China. They don't need to build it there. Logically speaking, they should be able to build it faster than before. It's okay, but one of the reasons is that they lost the war with China and need to spend a large amount of money every year to pay off the debts of the Chinese Empire. They are now more financially strapped than before. The rubles given to the railways were far from enough, so they had to collect them desperately from below, which caused more resistance and greatly shaken the rule of the Russian tsar. Therefore, the tsarist government continued to consider how to suppress those who resisted. More The rebels were exiled to Siberia and the Far East where they became immigrants and laborers. However, such workers must be supervised by someone. As long as there is no one to supervised them, they will definitely run away violently. This is something that happens every day. They are not willing to lose their lives in vain in this ice and snow. Whenever they have a chance, they will Will run away. The workers' life is so poor. They can only eat a few potatoes and a little soup with some oil every day. The Russians are very good at drinking. There is no alcohol at all here. The workers' accommodation is not good. There is no housing and only some. Many people died of cold and hunger every day in dilapidated tents. Therefore, they were exiled to Vladimir in Siberia from 1897 to 1900. ? Ilyich? Ulyanov and his wife Nadezhda? Konstantinovna? Krupskaya was one of those workers who once said that the entire Siberian Railway was paved with the bones of workers. It has been eleven years since the construction of Russia's Far Eastern Railway began in 1891. It is a main railway line across Russia from east to west. Starting from Moscow, passing through Ryazan, Samara, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Chita, Khabarovsk (khabarovsk), it has now reached Chita and continues to build. It will take another two years for them to spend a total of about 1.2 billion rubles, and it is not the final completion. It will be gradually completed after several years of operation. Now there are also problems with Russia's funds. First of all, their own finances are becoming more and more difficult, and France has fewer loans to them. Due to the drag of the Boer War, the British are also economically strained and have no extra money to support Russia. Therefore, their The speed also slowed down. Now we have certain difficulties in railway construction in the Chinese Empire. First of all, it is a financial problem, but our human resources are unmatched by Russia. We have now invested hundreds of thousands of people, including 200,000 in the paramilitary establishment of the Railway Construction Corps. The rest are a large number of farmers and herdsmen in Mongolia and a large number of private transportation forces. The main thing that saves trouble for the Chinese Empire is that there are no big mountains and rivers along the way. Most of them are in plain areas. The roadbed is easier to solve. First, a large number of migrant workers use manpower to build a high roadbed on the ground, and then mechanical work is done to solve it. The foundation is laid down layer by layer. A large number of construction machinery can carry out separate construction of all road sections. Now that the foundation project of the entire road section has been completed, the work of laying the rails is now being carried out. Other supporting projects are also in progress. The stations and telephone lines along the way are all under construction. It is expected that all the main projects will be completed in another year, and the trains can be put into trial operation. The construction of stations and other things can be slower, but those tasks do not require specialized engineering and technical personnel. An ordinary construction worker can do it. After learning about the railway construction project, Li Zhenhua decided to go to the construction site to take a look. The preparations for going from here to the north are very different from going to the south. The main thing is various materials for cold protection. The Ministry of Railways has also specially prepared some. Materials asked the emperor to go with the convoy. When the emperor goes to the grassroots, he cannot go empty-handed. He must bring some condolences, that is, he must bring more vegetables. There is no shortage of meat in Mongolia. The logistics work is also very good, including vegetables. slightly less. In addition, there are almost no entertainment activities for people. Li Zhenhua asked people to organize some literary and art groups in Beijing. He also brought the art troupe of the army. The leader of the art troupe is a girl in her twenties. Her name is Ma Yufeng and she is a soprano. Li Zhenhua is in When I had nothing to do, I told her a few songs, such as "The Horse Runs to Protect the Frontier", "My Motherland" and other songs. The little girl will soon sing them. This time I heard that she will be asked to lead the team to the front line of railway construction. She put her own?The main pillars have been brought. As a result, Li Zhenhua¡¯s special train set off in the cold autumn wind with more than a dozen wagons of vegetables and cans. The construction of the railway adopts the method of completing one section and running the other. Besides, the railway to Zhangjiakou has been completed long ago. On the prairie, the train ran until it was almost to Kulun before it stopped moving forward. The front was a no-passage zone for passenger cars. Now only trucks were allowed to pass. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to get off the train. The wind on the prairie was much cooler than in Beijing. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but tighten his coat and stepped off the train. A group of railway soldiers greeted the emperor's arrival. After Li Zhenhua got off the bus, he came in front of the soldiers. An officer leading the team ran up and saluted Li Zhenhua: "Report to the commander, Captain Tie You, of the 16th Company of the 23rd Regiment of the 6th Railway Division." I want to report to you that our company is carrying out railway reinforcement work and please give instructions from the commander." Li Zhenhua returned the greeting and then stepped forward, held his calloused hand tightly and said to him: "Thank you, comrades." "Young man. The company commander was so excited when he saw the warm greetings from his leader that he didn't know what to say. Li Zhenhua walked to the front of the queue, shook hands with the soldiers one by one, and greeted everyone. Then he walked to the center of the team. He first saluted the soldiers and then said to everyone: "Comrades, you all have worked hard." All the soldiers stood at attention and replied loudly. : "Serve the people" "Comrades, everything you have done today for the security of the country and the future prosperity of the motherland is worth it. The people will not forget everything you have done. This railway is what you leave for our descendants." The achievements below are the sweat shed by each of us." (To be continued.

Chapter 517 Inspection. railway construction Text Chapter 518 Condolences to the Railway Soldiers Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 518 Condolences to the Railway Soldiers Chapter 518 Condolences to the Railway Soldiers The soldiers applauded warmly. The guards and soldiers left many condolences for them. Then Li Zhenhua and his entourage began to march north. Only after the convoy left did they know what had happened. That person is his beloved emperor. Seeing how much the emperor loved and respected his soldiers, the soldiers shed tears with excitement. Later, Li Zhenhua and his entourage started their journey by car. Li Zhenhua stopped and stopped along the way until he arrived in Kulun after walking for more than two days. Everyone here already knew that the emperor had come to him. It was almost midnight before the commander of the railway corps, Tie Lei, saw the emperor and his entourage. Along with him was the commander of the first railway corps division, Li Ming. When they saw Li Zhenhua, they hurriedly saluted the emperor. Li Zhenhua went up and hugged them both tightly. He said politely: "You have worked hard. On behalf of the people of the whole country, I thank you. You are all heroes." After hearing the emperor's praise, the two people were very moved. They hurriedly moved the emperor and his party to the accommodation that had been arranged for them. It must have been a few days of travel. The emperor was already tired and came to the railway headquarters. It was very warm. The soldiers served tea to the emperor. Tie Lei asked the emperor: "Is the emperor tired during this journey? How about we report again tomorrow?" "I am tired." But when I see the officers and soldiers fighting nervously on the front line of railway construction, all my hard work is gone. The officers and soldiers are working very hard. Let's work hard. You can report the situation." Tie Lei walked to the wall hanging on the wall. In front of the big map, he began to report to the emperor: "The distance of the railway we built from Beijing to Kulun is 1,400 kilometers to Kyaktu, 1,750 kilometers. Now our roadbed has been built to 1,650 kilometers here in Darkhan." The pointing stick in Lei's hand was already pointing to a place close to Kyaktu. "Now the track has been laid to 1,300 kilometers and is undergoing trial operation. Among the 1,200 kilometers, 850 kilometers have been completed. We expect to complete the laying and trial operation of the track before the arrival of next winter, and it will be open to traffic in winter. In In 2004, we can hand over the railway to the local government for operation." After Li Zhenhua heard this, he knew that he had finally completed the railway before the Russians. As long as they dared to attack the battlefield in the east, they would be completely defeated and then start from here. If their retreat route is cut off, the Russian troops in the entire Far East will all enter their own encirclement. The Russian troops who lack all kinds of supplies will become their own prisoners. Of course, they can take action on their own in the large area of ??land to the east. The entire shape of Lake Baikal is like a curved moon in the sky, so our ancient people called it "Moon Lake". The "Beihai" of Su Wu Shepherd in the Han Dynasty also referred to Lake Baikal. There is no doubt that this is our land. Since it is ours, we must take it back. After defeating the Russian army, it will be easy to find evidence there. With evidence, we will not be afraid of those countries that think they are just. Besides, in today's world, whoever has the strongest fist has the final say. Then think about it. It is impossible for a country as big as the original world to dare to call China out. If you want to take action, you have to show some real skills, otherwise shut your mouth. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but smile. Seeing a smile on the emperor's face, Tie Lei also breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor is happy that our efforts have been recognized by the emperor. Li Zhenhua said to Tie Lei: "Let the cultural troupe start performing condolences tomorrow and I will participate with you all." Railway Corps Commander Tie Lei immediately made a suggestion: "We are now commending advanced workers in various units. Is it possible to combine this condolences performance with the commendation meeting? " "Okay," Li Zhenhua said immediately, "It's great to let those advanced figures sit in front and let everyone learn from them. Tie Lei, your suggestion is great. This can greatly boost the motivation of the soldiers. "The next day, Li Zhenhua arranged for the art troupe to start performing condolences. The art troupe immediately began their preparations. The officers of the railway corps mobilized the troops who were nearby to gather together to watch the performance. I had no choice but to ask them to send a performance team down below to conduct condolence activities. The conditions here in Darkhan are good. Since it is the location of the railway corps division headquarters, they specially built a large performance stage in order to better appreciate the performance of the art troupe. A red banner in the middle of the stage reads: "Royal Consolation Group Condolence Performance and Advanced Commendation Conference." With the help of some soldiers from the art troupe, they organized the stage, hung up the curtains, arranged various props, and the actors also started putting on makeup. The soldiers in the band were also debugging various musical instruments. Some troops from around came. According to custom, they arranged themselves into square formations and sat neatly on the ground. Some people would say that the ground was very cold.But the soldiers are not afraid of these. When they are tired from work, they lie down on the spot and don't care about anything. Now they can enjoy the performance of the art troupe brought by the emperor himself. Is there anything happier than this? It doesn't matter if it's cool. They just hope to appreciate them soon. show. Some troops who arrived earlier began to sing. A soldier here stood up and shouted to his company: "Company 1." The soldiers below followed and shouted together: "Come on one." The soldier continued to shout. He said: "Company one" and there was another shout: "Quick, quick, quick". The company next to them immediately stood up and one person took the lead. They sang "Return from Target Shooting" and soon after they finished singing, they turned their heads to each other. The leading soldier from the Third Steel Company who had asked them to sing just now shouted loudly: "The Third Steel Company" and his own group of soldiers shouted loudly: "Come one." They shouted again before the other party started singing. He stood up and said, "I ask you to sing, but you just sing like you're not decent." Being stimulated by this, Gang Sanlian immediately started singing. Soon the various units of the conference entered the venue. The conference began. Railway Corps Commander Tie Lei first commended some cadres and soldiers. Those advanced workers who were named by the commander stood on the stage and were led by the Emperor's Railway Corps Commander. The head of the division personally put big red flowers on their heads. The advanced workers on the stage were so excited that they burst into tears. The officers and soldiers in the audience applauded warmly and kept chanting slogans. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidicn.

Chapter 518 Condolences to the Railway Soldiers Text Chapter 519 Condolences to the Railway Soldiers (2) Paid chapters (8 points) Chapter 519 Condolences to the Railway Soldiers (2) Chapter 519 Condolences to the Railway Soldiers (2) A representative of advanced workers speaks. He is a bulldozer driver. He is an advanced pacesetter for the entire railway corps. He is alone. The workload of the three machines has reached the work index. He is ranked first in the country. His workload is the largest, but the maintenance of the vehicle is the best and the fuel consumption is the lowest. People gave his speech warm applause, and then the commander also spoke. Finally, the officers and soldiers unanimously asked the emperor to say a few words to the people. Li Zhenhua happily agreed to the officers and soldiers' request. He went to the stage and pressed his hands down. The whole venue calmed down. Li Zhenhua He spoke enthusiastically to everyone, and his popular and humorous words made the soldiers laugh and left a deep impression on all the officers and soldiers participating in the meeting. The condolence performance finally began. Li Zhenhua sat down on the stage. Next to him were some cadres of the railway corps and advanced workers wearing big red flowers on their chests. The curtain on the stage slowly opened. A female announcer in a new military uniform stood up. Center stage. The whole performance was very successful, and there were bursts of applause from the audience. Especially the songs taught by Li Zhenhua personally made the soldiers excited. Seeing the lively scene and the enthusiastic performance of the officers and soldiers. Li Zhenhua himself was a little intoxicated. This is his lovely army and his lovely people. They are willing to endure hardships for the strength of the motherland. They are not afraid of hardships just so that their country can become stronger and the people can live a better life. The meeting was over and the emperor had left the venue, but the soldiers were still immersed in the happiness of being with the emperor. All the officers and soldiers wrote letters to their homes to announce the good news, and reported to their relatives at home that they had shaken hands with the emperor and had a good relationship with him. After meeting, some of them sent photos of themselves and the emperor to their hometowns so that people at home could share this great happiness with them. You must know that it is the greatest honor to be with the emperor. From the next day, the art troupe was broken into parts and began to perform condolences performances for the troops below. The soldiers of these art troupes are all versatile. Most of them can sing, dance, speak, etc. in multiple art forms. A few people who know several programs can put on a performance of more than two hours together. She (they) will definitely greatly increase the morale of the officers and soldiers. Li Zhenhua, however, continued to move north. He wanted to go to Darkhan to see the officers and soldiers who had been guarding the border all year round. The bus arrived in Darkhan quickly. Now Nie Qing's division headquarters is here. In fact, Nie Qing can no longer be a division commander. His men now have as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people. It turns out that this is because of the long distance and logistics. The supply is inconvenient. Just ask them to be self-sufficient. I didn't expect that they are now an army with so many people. Outside the city of Darkhan, Division Commander Nie Qing, Deputy Division Commander Battelle, Chief of Staff Ma Yunlu, and the original ninth-grade inspector Bian Qingshan were already waiting there. A thin layer of snowflakes had fallen on their bodies. Emperor Nie Qing, Battelle and Ma Yunlu are no strangers, but Bian Qingshan is not. But he also knew from people's mouths that his emperor was a wise emperor who could fight and do business. He had a clear understanding of the world situation and cared deeply for his officials and the people. Therefore, he was looking forward to seeing the emperor soon and a little afraid. He was afraid that he would be The emperor didn't like it when he saw it. You must know that many old bureaucrats had their heads chopped off by the emperor. He was very unsure that a ninth-grade official like himself could see the emperor. But the generals around him repeatedly told him that the emperor is the most approachable and there is no need to be afraid. The person the emperor likes most is that you can work hard and do your job well. Now you are already a very good cadre. The emperor will definitely like you, so just be confident. But after all, you still feel uneasy because you have never met the emperor. Battelle, who had been holding the binoculars in front of his eyes, finally said: "The convoy is coming." Soon, with the naked eye, you can see a group of cars driving here. Nie Qing suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to a few people around him: "Let's go Come forward and welcome me. I haven¡¯t seen the old leader for more than three years." His voice was choked as he spoke. As soon as the reins in his hands were loosened, the already waiting war horses immediately rushed forward. The three senior leaders of the army were like three children, beating their horses and rushing forward. This made Bian Qingshan on one side a little confused. He had no choice but to move forward. Welcoming the ugly daughter-in-law, regardless of whether the emperor saw it or not, she was afraid of death and could not hide from her mother-in-law. Qingshan Xinyiheng also hit his horse and ran forward, but his horse was far behind those war horses, and he soon fell behind. later. The horses of these three people were all excellent horses. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared. I saw them moving quickly towards the convoy. When they got closer, Nie Qing took the horse and the horses immediately stood upright with their front hooves. The other two horses The war horses also stood up and stopped where they were.?The three people jumped off their horses and stood on the roadside. There were the same cars in front of them. They didn't dare to go forward any further. It would be bad if they made the guards feel uncomfortable. In fact, the guards had discovered these three people a long time ago, but their eyes were very bright. When they saw the three of Nie Qing, they didn't know anything. They were the emperor's personal guards. They were absolutely loyal to the emperor. of. The two cars in front that were responsible for clearing the road moved to both sides. Li Zhenhua's car sped up and rushed towards the three people. He braked suddenly and stopped in front of them. Li Zhenhua got out of the car. He ignored the salutes of the three people and drove them straight away. Hugged. All three of them burst into tears. Li Zhenhua immediately laughed: "How can such a big general learn to cry with a sad face?" Nie Qing and the other three also laughed. Nie Qing said embarrassedly: "The chief finally saw you again. "We have been thinking about it for three years." "As soon as we heard the letter yesterday, we were about to go to Cullen, but when we thought about our identity, we still couldn't go," Ma Yunlu said on the side. "Commander, please go quickly. Don't talk outside and go to our headquarters." Battelle said. Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "Yes, let's just listen to Mr. Ba's command. We all get on the bus and we squeeze together to go to your temple to have a look." Several people laughed and got on the bus together. A few guards came down and rode forward and just left. After a few steps, he saw Bian Qingshan arriving, but his riding skills were really not that good. When he saw Li Zhenhua's face, Nie Qing knew that he had some misunderstandings and hurriedly said to Li Zhenhua: "The chief is not a soldier, but he is our God of Wealth." ( To be continued.

Let the old man get on the bus." Nie Qing said quietly to Li Zhenhua: "He is not an old man. He is only less than forty years old. He just looks old after living in this bitter cold place for a long time." Li Zhenhua didn't say anything after hearing this. He got off the car and walked towards Bianqingshan. When he saw someone coming to lead his horse, he handed the horse's reins to Li Zhenhua's hand and walked towards the car. He was going to salute the emperor, but he did not see that the emperor was wondering. Li Zhenhua had already handed over the horse's reins to the guard and came back, opened the car door for Bian Qingshan and helped him get into the car. Bian Qingshan just thought that he could only pay tribute to the emperor after returning in the car, so he let Li Zhenhua help him get into the car. Li Zhenhua turned around and sat in the driver's seat and drove the car skillfully. Qingshan turned around and asked Nie Qing, "Has the general ever seen the emperor?" Nie Qing was stunned at first and then couldn't control himself anymore and laughed. When they got up, Ma Yunlu and Battelle also laughed together. Their laughter shocked Bian Qingshan. Is there anything wrong with this? Nothing is worth making you laugh like this! Even Li Zhenhua laughed when they laughed. Nie Qing finally held back his laughter and said to Bian Qingshan: "Old Bian, you're going to make me laugh to death, isn't there the emperor in front of you?". Bian Qingshan looked forward and saw nothing in front of him. Bian Qingshan hadn't understood yet. Nie Qing could only point his hand and said: "The person beside you is the emperor." Bian Qingshan was so frightened that he handed over the horse's reins. Why did he let the emperor act as a groom and let the emperor help him get into the carriage before the emperor? How could he, a Jinshi-born man, have committed the crime of "disrespect" to the emperor several times in this moment? He was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, but there was not much space in the car. He kowtowed as soon as he stood, and then wanted to kneel down, but there was no room at all. He had to bow to Li Zhenhua again and again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my sin." "It's very cold outside, but Bian Qingshan's clothes are already wet even inside. Li Zhenhua felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't dare to joke anymore. He had to grab Bian Qingshan's hand and said to him: "Master Bian, please sit down first and listen to me." Bian Qingshan had no choice but to sit down. Li Zhenhua pulled him and said, "You Don't be afraid to see the three boys behind me? They have all fought with me, so you can just treat me as your brother." Bian Qingshan looked behind him secretly. Nie Qing smiled and said to Bian Qingshan: "It's true that the three of us have fought against the emperor, but none of us took advantage. Now, old Baco is still holding back his anger?" Battelle muttered to the side: "Just go ahead. I didn¡¯t accept the defeat this time.¡± Li Zhenhua immediately said: ¡°If you don¡¯t accept it, try it again.¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you.¡± Bian Qingshan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Is this the emperor?¡± Why do I feel like a little gangster? Why does he only know how to mess with others?" Li Zhenhua's words interrupted Bian Qingshan's imagination: "Master Bian, you have earned 7.63 million for the country in the past few years. More than four thousand taels of silver, right?" "The emperor has a good memory, but this is not all my business. The many gold and silver captured by the Russian army are also included." "This is not their business, their business is just to protect it. The security of the country is not violated by the enemy, but the customs under your jurisdiction has collected these. Moreover, the city management of Kyaktu has also made great progress under your management." Several people said that they had arrived in Darkhan without being on duty. The officers and soldiers on the mission were all lining up to greet their old leader. The car stopped. Li Zhenhua and a group of officers got out of the car and rode back to inspect the troops. Li Zhenhua's horse went there. The officers in front of the line raised their hands to Li Zhenhua and saluted. The other officers and soldiers Li Zhenhua paid attention and said to the queue: "Comrades, you have worked hard." The queue responded neatly: "Serve the people." After the parade was completed, Li Zhenhua, accompanied by Nie Qing and others, entered their military headquarters and saw the side. Qingshan seemed to have some intention not to come in. Li Zhenhua grabbed his hand and led him into the house. There were many forests and trees. The house was burning very hot. The officers all took off their coats. Li Zhenhua sat on the chairs. Several officers Li Zhenhua also sat down and smiled at Bian Qingshan and said: "Master Bian, please take a seat. You must get used to my working style and don't be the same as before. We are all equal. We do not kneel when we meet at the most basic level." The next step has already explained everything." Bian Qingshan hurriedly replied: "Yes, the emperor's approach is excellent." Li Zhenhua said to Nie Qing: "Tell me about your basic situation. I haven't listened to your report for a long time." "Chief, we now have twenty-two regiments, all of which are cavalry regiments. Each regiment has about 2,500 people. The total strength of the left and right troops is about 58,000. Han officers and soldiers account for 60%, Mongolian officers and soldiers account for 30%, and the remaining 10% are officers and soldiers of other ethnic groups. Compared with the troops in the mainland, the weapons are inferior. Some of our troops still use the original Russian equipment. "In addition, we also have a large militia team. But if something happens, we can organize a team of 30,000 people to help us defend the front." Our main force can be dispatched. " "Our defense area is too long." Nie Qing pointed at the sand table in front of him. "From the east to the Daxingan Mountains and to the west to the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang." "In the past three years, we have basically covered it. After eliminating all the former Russian spies and those infiltrators with special missions, our defense area can now be said to be very clean. " "In order to help the railway troops quickly repair this border lifeline, we have deployed 20,000 officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers who went to help build the railway all know the importance of this railway, which is of greatest help to us. It is a defense line and a lifeline for our troops. " "Here we have built a large-scale tunnel dug out of the cave. This warehouse cannot be seen from the outside, but the train can drive in smoothly. It can accommodate five thousand tons of war preparation materials." Li Zhenhua listened to Nie Qing's report and had a clear understanding of the situation here. This was what Nie Qing thought. Yes, he even thought about fighting out. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidicn. Your support is my biggest motivation.) Chapter 520 Bian Qingshan¡¯s crime of disrespect Text Chapter 521 Sandbox Exercise Paid Chapter (8 points) Chapter 521 Sandbox Exercise Chapter 521 Sandbox Exercise Li Zhenhua listened to Nie Qing¡¯s report and had a clear understanding of the situation here. Nie Qing thought well and even thought of fighting out. As a military commander, you should think about both defense and offense. You must know that the best defense is offense. Cai E, who came here first, said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, let's ask them to demonstrate how they defend on the sand table. We will serve as referees to watch their offensive and defensive drills." Nie Qing immediately heard this. He said: "A few of us have already played some new tricks. Please ask Staff Cai to be the head of the Russian army to carry out defense. Do you think this is a good idea?" Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Let me take a look at your drill first. Then let Cai Eji and you defend." After the emperor spoke, everyone immediately took action. Battelle was the main attacker, while Nie Qing and Battelle were the defenders. So the two sides started fighting on the sand table. Representing the "Russian Army", Ma Yunlu's 150,000 men attacked Nie Qing. He first concentrated 10,000 people on Kyaktu along the Kyaktu River to block the attack. The main force retreated behind Khandar. At this time, the three militiamen were Ten thousand militiamen were already on the defensive in Khandar. Next, after losing less than 10,000 people, the "Russian Army" broke through the defense line of Chaktu and advanced towards Khandal. However, at this time, the logistics line of the "Russian Army" was stretched. The troops who were crippled in Chaktu were It was the sabotage activities that began against their supply lines. The "Russian Army" had to increase its defense forces along the line, with 20,000 troops used for protection along the line. The second phase of the battle began. The militiamen began to continuously harass the "Russian army" and used nighttime to launch small-scale attacks on the Russian army's garrison and transportation lines. The Russian army was so tired that they had to increase logistics again. Protective power. However, soon the "Russian Army" began to launch an attack. Two days later, the defensive forces retreated again. This time, their retreat location was Cullen. They set up three defensive positions outside Cullen, in a posture of fighting to the death. Now the "Russian Army" has reached its goal of 50,000 troops for logistical support, and only 60,000 troops for offensive use. If they want to carry out a tough battle, their advantage no longer exists. The following is Nie Qing's counterattack. His troops have surrounded the enemy. They used superior firepower to violently bombard the Russian army's station for three hours. Then several troops began to intersperse the "Russian army" with only a dozen vehicles. The armored vehicles served as arrows of attack to separate the "Russian Army". At this point, the defeat of the "Russian Army" has been determined. The sand table was sorted out. This time, Li Zhenhua asked Cai E and Ma Yunlu to be on the offensive side. The strength was still 150,000. He, Nie Qing, and Battelle joined the defensive side. The defensive strength was still 60,000 main troops plus 30,000 militiamen. Armed. But the time was moved to the afternoon. Li Zhenhua's purpose was to let everyone prepare in advance for Cai E and Ma Yunlu to discuss. He also wanted to negotiate with Nie Qingbaatelle to give the other party a surprise. It was obvious that both sides had their own little plans and even ate at the same table. Li Zhenhua ate with these people, while Cai E and Ma Yunlu ran to the side to eat. After taking a break for lunch, the two sides began to engage in a fierce fight. Cai E and Ma Yunlu, representing the "Russian Army", changed their original combat methods. They used a small force to feint to attack Kyactu and instead used a fast Cossack cavalry surprise attack. The thinking of the two staff officers Khandal at the back was unusual. They made the defending Li Zhenhua, Nie Qing and Battelle unable to resist. Seeing the opponent's scorching offensive momentum, they had no choice but to hastily build a line of defense in Darkhan to delay the enemy's attack. They sent special forces from various units to cause trouble for the enemy. In addition, they placed several landmines on the enemy's path. The district did everything possible to delay the enemy's attack on Darkhan. As long as the enemy's attack is stopped, then our world will be ours. With these moves, the enemy's attack was indeed slowed down. In Darkhan, Li Zhenhua, Nie Qing and Battelle set up a strong defensive position here to prevent the enemy from rushing forward. Li Zhenhua asked Nie Qing and Battelle: "Where do you think the enemy's biggest weakness is?" They both said together: "Of course it is their long supply line." "Where in their long supply line is their weakest defense? Link?" Battelle pointed to a dangerous mountain road and said: "Here." Li Zhenhua looked over and found that the terrain here was extremely unfavorable for the transportation of the "Russian Army". Li Zhenhua just paused and continued to ask: "It's better to look further. Is there a place that is more beneficial to us? " There is no place on the sand table further ahead, but it is on the map next to it.Some cities south of Lake Baikal appeared in front of several people. From west to east, they were Kurtuk, Sludyanka, Baikalsk, and further east, Babushkin and Ulan-Ude. And they left The closest city to the Chinese Empire was Gusino Ozersk. In this way, the enemy's weakness is exposed. If the enemy wants to attack our logistics supply station, it should be at the railway bend south of Ulan-Ude. When we reach there with a special force, we can catch the enemy unawares and knock them out. If their logistics supply points are destroyed and their entire logistics support system is destroyed, it will be over. No matter how many they have, they will have no logistics support. We will give them a strong wall and clear the field, and then we can deal with them however we want. "But this is a distance of more than 200 kilometers. It will take us four days to get there, and the sabotage activities will also take one day. If our blocking force wants to withstand the enemy here, it will take at least five or six days. Our troops are under great pressure today," Nie Qing said. Battle said: "We can't just put all our hopes there. We also have to constantly harass the enemy in front of us. Then we can take the initiative." "We must do everything possible to create difficulties for the enemy," Li Zhenhua said: "We must use the main force to block and use the militia force to carry out non-stop attacks on the enemy so that they cannot rest day and night. Only in this way can the enemy become a tired force and then we can counterattack them." (Unfinished) To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to qidicn.

Text Chapter 522 Establishing the Mongolian Front Army Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 522 Establishing the Mongolian Front Army Chapter 522 Establishing the Mongolian Front Army Nie Qing concentrated the advantages in several aspects and then asked the heavy artillery unit to focus on the enemy's attack and consume the enemy's strength. In this way, the "Russian Army" The offense was clearly in trouble. After putting this plan on the sand table, Cai E and Ma Yunlu said: "If this happens, our offense will be in trouble. The best way to avoid being completely annihilated by you is to hurry up." There is no good way to withdraw the troops. Otherwise, once the following people know the true situation of the destruction of supplies, the morale of the military will be in chaos. """ These senior generals summarized the entire sand table deduction. It can further improve the command capabilities of officers at all levels, giving them one more possibility to deal with situations that may arise at any time as the war progresses. This is not a bad thing, it is an improvement for all senior commanders. Nowadays, in the army of the Chinese Empire, not only senior generals are conducting sand table simulations, but military schools, especially generals with senior command majors, are also doing it frequently. Even the students of the non-commissioned officer school are also frequently conducting drills, but the scope of their drills is very limited. Much smaller. In the evening, Nie Qing gave Li Zhenhua a reception. Some of the commanders of the troops below also arrived. Li Zhenhua knew that wine is indispensable in this cold northern region. He took out the good wine brought from Sichuan and let the officers below drink it. Most of them were officers who had followed Li Zhenhua to conquer the west. When they saw the old leader coming, they relaxed one by one and drank. Anyway, the old leader had enough control today. It wasn¡¯t until very late that they went back and sent away a bunch of drunkards. Li Zhenhua and the others stayed at Nie Qing¡¯s division headquarters at night. Nie Qing was also here. Several people drank tea and began to talk about Mongolia¡¯s preparedness issues. In the evening, Cai E said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty's troops here have reached 50,000 to 60,000. My opinion is to let them expand their establishment and no longer be stationed in the name of a division. This will not be convenient for overall command and coordination." Li Zhenhua Said: "I have also considered this issue. According to the military establishment, they are too big. It is best to appear in the name of one or several group armies. Then there are still three of them. It should be said that the three of them cooperate well. "Let them set up three regiments and one division. Now that their overall firepower is relatively poor, each division will be equipped with an artillery regiment, so they will have seven divisions. Then the group army headquarters will be located in Cullen plus some affiliated units. Their total strength should be between 70,000 and 80,000 people. "Li Zhenhua said, "And their weapons are not good enough. We need to replace them with equipment as soon as possible and let them replace all infantry weapons with semi-automatic rifles for our railways next year. It¡¯s about to be opened to traffic. There shouldn¡¯t be any logistical problems.¡± ¡°If they are used for defensive firepower configuration, it should be fine. But I feel that His Majesty means not to let them appear as a defensive force but to let them fight. When they go out, their grassroots firepower and overall firepower still need to be strengthened," Cai E continued. Li Zhenhua said: "What I mean is that once the Russians invade us, their purpose is to recapture the places we lost in the last war against them. Their main battlefield should be on the Eastern Front." "The same is true for me. Consider it." Cai E continued: "Now they have been delaying returning our Vladivostok to us. This is their purpose. Look, they will definitely tell us that if their retreat plan is not completed next year, they will ask us to give them an extension of time. "We agree that they will definitely ask us to extend the time to complete the withdrawal task by the end of 1905." "By then, their Far East Railway has completed their land offensive preparations, and they will also ask us to provide them with supplies." Some navies that are convenient for them will also provide maritime support to Vladivostok that they occupied. "Then we have to prepare to fight two wars at sea and on land at the same time. That's not bad. Our navy's preparations are almost in progress." Fight with them from the South China Sea all the way to the Sea of ??Japan to see how capable they are." "On land, we will directly cut off their most vulnerable areas and take the southern part of Lake Baikal into our hands, then their eastern front will be taken. After that, those hundreds of thousands of Russian troops will fall into our hands again." Nie Qing suddenly said that it turned out that he was just drinking tea and had not spoken, but he had been listening to the conversation between the emperor and Cai E. Li Zhenhua heard Nie Qing's words and glanced at him and said: "If you fight an offensive war, your firepower will be even worse. You also need to strengthen an armored force. We cannot exchange the lives of soldiers for victory. We must use superior artillery fire and equipment." Come and fight them.¡± The rifles currently equipped by the Russian army are mainly Mosin-Nagan rifles. The Mosin-Nagan rifles are produced by the Russian Army.It was jointly developed by the school Mosin and Belgian firearms designer Nagant. In 1891, it was installed in the Russian army together with the m1891 Mosin-Nagant rifle cartridge. The 62mm caliber direct-action principle has a simple structure and fewer failures. The combat performance is relatively good. The total gun length is 1308mm. With bayonet, the total length is 1738mm. The empty gun weight is 22kg. The barrel length is 800mm. The muzzle velocity is 615m/s. This gun can only hold one bullet, which limits its shooting speed. Such long rifles would be good for assassinations, but against the Chinese Empire they would be ready to take a beating from the Russians. But although the gun is good, it is the Mosin-Nagant rifle that Russia and the former Soviet Union produced in total, more than 17 million of them. That was also during World War II and beyond. With this arrangement, the group army will become the Mongolian Front Army. The original plan was to have seven divisions. Now plus an artillery division and at least one armored division, they will be nine to ten divisions. Coupled with some necessary facilities such as hospitals, teaching groups, security communications, etc., their strength has exceeded 100,000. Cai E recorded all the equipment that the emperor said about the Mongolian Front Army. He wanted to report to Zhang Xinghua, Minister of General Armaments, and asked Minister Zhang to prepare all these weapons and equip them with the Mongolian Front Army. In this way, Nie Qing became the commander of the Mongolian front army, Battelle was the deputy commander, and Ma Yunlu was their chief of staff. (To be continued.

To manage on behalf of the government, Li Zhenhua asked Nie Qing: "What do you want to do with this Kulun City in the future?" "Then where are the ready-made people? Bian Qingshan is the most ideal candidate. It can be said that he is the only one." "There will be a provincial airs here from now on. You can't just talk about it." "Chief, you don't have to trust me, but you have to trust Bian Qingshan. I can guarantee that he is definitely a trustworthy person. He has been since we got here. While working conscientiously, his old father died of illness last year. He just cried outside and continued to work after he came back. On this year's Qingming Festival, he erected a stone monument here for his father. He told me that from now on, he will It was very touching to visit my father¡¯s grave here on Qingming Day.¡± ¡°Then I will also go and take a look at this empty tomb.¡± Li Zhenhua said to Cai E, ¡°Tomorrow we will go together and ask Bian Qingshan to take us there. His father went to visit the grave." Nie Qing said: "If you go tomorrow, we should go too, but we have a lot of things to do tomorrow so we won't go. Please apologize to Bian Qingshan on behalf of the three of us." "That's it, we won't. Let¡¯s all rest.¡± The next day, Li Zhenhua and Cai E went to find Bian Qingshan early. They arrived at Bian Qingshan¡¯s house, which was just a small courtyard. Cai E went up to call the door. After a while, an old man came to open the door. When he met the old man, he asked Cai E: "Sir, what can I do for you?". Cai E said to the old man: "We are here to see Mr. Bian. Is he up?" "What?" The old man was obviously unhappy. "My husband always goes to bed in the middle of the night and gets up before dawn every day. He is busy with work." "Ah, if he always behaves like this, he will definitely have a short life." "Old man, you have been following him for many years, right?" "It has been four years since I collapsed in front of his door. If he hadn't taken me in, I would have died a long time ago." The old man started nagging again: "Good man, he was beaten back by Lao Maozi that year, and neither of us had anything to eat. I said I wanted to go beg for food, but he wouldn't let me go. It was he, the official of the imperial court, who asked for the food. Now everything is fine. Mr. said that our new emperor is also a very good man. With his leadership, we Chinese will have a good life and we will no longer be bullied by those foreigners. " When Cai E heard that the old man was nice, he asked again: "What is your husband doing, old man?" "He will be exhausted if he does this every day." The two of them didn't come in. The old gentleman taught them a lesson and they had no choice but to go to Bian Qingshan's office to find him. At the same time, they also had a certain fondness for Bian Qingshan. When they arrived at Bian Qingshan's office, they heard someone talking loudly from a distance: "Bian, don't be so disrespectful to me. I'm telling you, aren't we just beating up two old men? What's the matter?" It's amazing that my relative is a high-ranking official in the cavalry regiment, but he is much bigger than a small mayor like you." This is obviously a case of overwhelming power. Let's see what Qingshan said next. Bian Qingshan's voice came: "Boss Wang, things are not what you think. If you want to marry someone, you have to get their consent. If they don't agree, no matter who comes, you can't do it. You can't even invite the emperor." He said: "What qualifications do you have to say that my cousin who followed the emperor to conquer the west is who you are? Aren't you just a tax collector from the previous dynasty?". Bian Qingshan still refused to give in: "It doesn't matter what I am, but if I am here to solve this problem, then you have to listen to me. It's wrong for you to rob someone and injure them. You must release the person and treat the injured before you come to me." Come here to receive punishment." Someone was talking next to him: "What the adults here said is true. This boss Wang is a little out of line." Then Boss Wang saw that Bian Qingshan refused to give up and punished himself. Someone was already looking at it unfairly. He couldn't help but got angry and went up to grab Bian Qingshan. He was about to hit him, but the people next to him also took action. Those people rushed up and pulled Boss Wang away. They were also trying to persuade Boss Wang to listen to Bian Qingshan. At the same time as Qingshan, there were also people who were trying to persuade Bian Qingshan not to take things too seriously, to relax a little bit, and to say nothing more. Isn't that family an old man? Don't make trouble with us, the people of the Chinese Empire, because of the old man's affairs. Bian Qingshan said: "No matter what others say, the Russians here are our citizens. This is what the emperor said. Citizens must be equal, no matter what background you have."?He who cannot bully others must accept punishment and apologize to the other party. Family rules and state laws cannot be violated. " At this time, someone else said to Bian Qingshan: "I told you, old Bian, don't be too accepting of death. I heard that the emperor is here, and if there is trouble with the emperor, you, the official of the previous dynasty, are not as good as the current official, and you will definitely be the one who suffers. . " "In that case, this emperor is no longer worthy of serving, so I will go back to my hometown. " After hearing what Bian Qingshan said, people stopped talking. Li Zhenhua and Cai E looked at each other and walked forward together. Li Zhenhua applauded as he walked: "Well, if that's the case, this emperor really doesn't deserve it. Waited. " When people saw that an outsider was coming, and they were two strangers, they stopped talking. But Li Zhenhua was recognized by Bian Qingshan. He was about to speak, but Cai E stopped him with a look and then walked over. Bian Qingshan asked him to sit down next to him and said to Mr. Wang: "What do your relatives do? " "My cousin is a battalion commander of the cavalry regiment. " "Oh, the official is not small. The biggest one here is the group leader. So why don't you invite him here? Let's ask him to give a review. Isn't this good? There is a solution to the matter. Now that we can't solve it here, let's just say to the higher ups that we are not afraid. If we go to the Emperor and the Emperor doesn't listen to us, we won't serve him. " Cai E was sitting here, and someone broke in outside. It turned out to be a young officer. It seemed that he was running in a hurry on the road. He walked in without saying anything, stepped forward, grabbed Boss Wang, and said: "Cousin, hurry up and give me something. If I have anything to say when I get back, let¡¯s talk about it when we get back. We can¡¯t cause trouble in this government agency. It¡¯s illegal. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "It seems that Nie Qing and the regiment commanders below him can still lead troops. They have said everything they need to say." The military cannot interfere with the work of local governments. "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidicn. Your support is my biggest motivation.)

Aren't they all officials? What's the difference between the government and the army? Anyway, I beat you. If you're afraid, I'm not afraid. He pushed the soldier away and said to the old man: "I beat you. If you can do it, just do it. Anyway, I'm going to beat you." "Don't be afraid. ("")" The Russian said in less proficient Chinese: "Master Bian, I leave this matter to you, you just have to deal with it. Anyway, we are being beaten. This person can't be unreasonable. We have to look at you. How to solve it?" Seeing the Russian talking to Bian Qingshan, the officer hurriedly asked some villagers and neighbors to persuade his cousin to leave. He called Bian Qingshan aside and said to Bian Qingshan: "Brother Bian, give it to me. Tell me what's going on. Why did my cousin get involved with that old man?" Bian Qingshan said to him, "What's going on with Battalion Commander Qiu? Your cousin has fallen in love with his daughter. His son may be your nephew as his wife. He asked someone to tell him that they don't agree that the Russian girl has to marry a soldier. She doesn't like your nephew, so your cousin came to find her. I went to the house and got beaten. Didn't you want to seize his daughter? You said this was outrageous. I asked him to apologize to him, but he didn't want to insist on inviting you. But you came very quickly. " Battalion Commander Qiu was very quick-thinking and he immediately said: "It's not right to beat someone. I'll go back and tell my cousin how much it will cost to treat the injury. Then I'll ask my cousin and the others to talk to them. Sorry, I'll take the time to go over and check it so it won't affect your work." "Well, that's all. Just worry about it, Commander Qiu, please walk slowly." The battalion commander had already left, and Bian Qingshan said to the onlookers. "Everyone is busy. It's okay. Everyone has something to do. Don't delay your own affairs. Everyone, go away." People quickly dispersed. Then Bian Qingshan walked up to the emperor and smiled sheepishly at Li Zhenhua. Said: "Your Majesty let you laugh at my mouth. I have no clue. Please punish me." Li Zhenhua read the matter from beginning to end. He said to Bian Qingshan: "It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, so we have to do it." It will be difficult for you to deal with it like this." Cai E said from the side: "Your Majesty, the Emperor came to see you specifically today. Please handle the matter at hand and we will leave immediately." Bian Qingshan immediately called someone and said to him: " If you have anything to do when I go out, just keep an eye on me and come back right away." The man promised, and Bian Qingshan followed Li Zhenhua and Cai E out. The car was already parked outside. Several people got in, and the guards behind them also got in. The car drove towards the south. As Cai E walked and talked about what was going on, Qingshan immediately said: "Your Majesty, you can't do this. I just put one of my father's things in the Qingming Festival in order to relieve my psychological pressure." When other people go to visit their graves, I don¡¯t have anywhere to go. This is a place that the emperor must not go to.¡± Li Zhenhua said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that I can¡¯t go even if Nie Qing and the others go there? I respect you as a filial son and I respect you. You are a person who works for the people, so I must go to this grave. Thank you to your parents for cultivating a good cadre for our country. I have to go. " When Bian Qingshan heard what the emperor said, he had no choice but to agree, but his heart was filled with emotions. The emperor was too caring about his subordinates, so he had to work hard for the common people. Not far ahead. It was the tomb that Bian Qingshan built himself. Bian Qingshan led him to the tomb. Bian Qingshan knelt down in front of the grave and said to the tomb: "My father, the emperor, our emperor of the Chinese Empire, has come to see you." "As he spoke, his tears also came down. After Bian Qingshan finished chanting, he moved to the side and continued to kneel there. Several guards placed sacrifices in front of the grave. Li Zhenhua took off his hat and stood in awe, then bowed three times to the grave. Then Cai E and the guards also did the same. After performing the same courtesy, Li Zhenhua went to the car and took out a few small pontoons for Cai E and Bian Qingshan to sit down. Li Zhenhua asked the guards for cigarettes and threw them to Bian Qingshan. He lit one and started smoking. Cai E knew that the emperor was doing this. He wanted to talk to Bian Qingshan, so he told Bian Qingshan what they had studied together yesterday. Bian Qingshan lowered his head and considered it, then raised his head and said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, I know you are. Trust me, but I also know my own abilities. Now our country is in need of help. There is a shortage of cadres everywhere, and I will not shirk it. Here, I express my opinion to you and my own dead father. I will take up this burden. I'll do my best to fuck him. " Li Zhenhua said: "Okay, I will wait for your words. You can make arrangements to go to Culun as soon as possible to take up the post. You have to arrange a suitable appointment here.After someone takes over, this place will exist as a county. The person must be reliable. " "After you arrive in Kulun, first make a development plan and figure out the rest. I will send people to you as soon as possible. Kulun will be an inland provincial-level city in the future, but now it is mainly military. After the railway is completed next year, Industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, commerce, mining, finance, transportation, communications, foreign trade, etc. will soon develop. Is there anything you can discuss with Nie Qing and Tie Lei from the Railway Corps? The future construction will be mainly based on engineering corps. From next year, a large number of people will enter Kulun. Soon the population will exceed 300,000 and will reach Baikal in the future. The lake and the front line are all under your jurisdiction. Your burden is very heavy. There are not enough manpower. So, just ask Tie Lei and Nie Qing to recruit people for the cadre positions below you. You will be responsible for arranging them, and I will leave everything here to you. " "Okay, let's talk about this first. When we get back, you first arrange for someone to accompany me around Kyaktu. I want to understand the situation here. You can use your own time." "Bian Qingshan never thought that he would rise to the top in one step. In a blink of an eye, he would become a provincial governor-level official. His original job was just a small town, but there were more things than a county. Now that the business is bigger, he has to plan it carefully. It would be too tiring to do it alone, but there needs to be a big government agency. (To be continued.

Your support is my biggest motivation) Chapter 524 It is difficult for an upright official to resolve household affairs (2) Text Chapter 525 New Style of Lalang Pairing He sent Bian Qingshan to his office. In front of the door, he saw the Qiu Battalion Commander again. Bian Qingshan said to Li Zhenhua: "This guy is not bad. You saw him just now. His words are reasonable and he is not that kind of confused officer." I would like him to come and take a look at this for my emperor." Cai E said, "Then let him accompany us around here." Bian Qingshan got out of the car. When he got in front of Battalion Commander Qiu, he said to him: "Brother Shaofeng, there are a few people from above in this car. They want to go around. If you have time, can you accompany them to see it?" "Brother Bian, I But I only asked for half a day's leave, and I have to go to the old Maozi's house to see and explain things. " "It's okay, why don't you go together?" Bian Qingshan said. Qingshan here has his own narrow-mindedness. After the emperor sees this person, he will naturally say what he is like. If the emperor says he can't do it, he won't say anything. If he can do it, if something happens in the future, it has nothing to do with him. As soon as Qiu Shaofeng agreed, he came to the front of the car. Cai E asked him to get up and sit in the front seat of the car. He didn't know who the emperor was behind. But when I saw Cai E, I felt a little familiar, but since I didn't speak just now, I didn't remember it anymore. Qiu Shaofeng came up and said to Cai E: "I want to go to the front to do some errands first, and then accompany a few people to go around. It won¡¯t delay your business, right?¡± Cai E knew what he was going to do. He immediately agreed and said, "If it's okay, you can go do some work and we'll just wait for you in the car." So the car headed east. Soon they discovered that the east side was where the original Russians lived. Now they have gathered together and there are some locals among them. Soon the car arrived in front of a door. Qiu Shaofeng said he got out of the car and went to the door. Zi reached the door and patted it gently and shouted: "Uncle Peter, open the door." After a while, the door opened and a girl stood at the door. Former Li Zhenhua could tell at a glance that she was a mixed-race girl with black hair but blue eyes. The eye-rims were relatively deep and obvious features. However, in general, this girl looked very beautiful. Most mixed-race girls were very good-looking. . But the locals here call them Errotors, and there is obviously an element of discrimination in it. The two of them were talking in front of the door, and another man came out. One was the girl's father. He had already seen her. The mother also came out, but he was a Chinese. Seeing his daughter talking to the soldier and knowing that he was here to apologize on behalf of his cousin, the family didn't say anything, but they warmly invited Qiu Shaofeng in. At first they were talking, but then the girl and her mother were using their hands to pull Qiu Shaofeng in to give birth. Qiu Shaofeng pointed at the car parked far away, but the Russian man named Peter came over and wanted to invite the car. Those who are on top go in. Li Zhenhua said to Cai E: "Since they have come to invite us, let's go in." So when a few people came down, Peter came up to greet them and said to them in Chinese: "Please come in, my daughter wants to invite you to sit at my house. " Li Zhenhua also wanted to understand the local people's sentiments and the outcome of the matter, so he walked with them to Peter's house. When they saw Li Zhenhua and the others got off the bus, Qiu Shaofeng no longer insisted on leaving and entered the courtyard with his family. The living room of their house had a stronger Russian flavor. They also saw that Li Zhenhua was the leader among these people and let him go. When we got inside, the mother came to the house and took out the boiling water to invite the guests from afar to drink tea. ¡. Li Zhenhua knew that Peter could speak Chinese, so he talked to him by the way and asked about their living conditions. Peter said to Li Zhenhua: "In recent years, our situation has been much better than under the Russian management. At least these soldiers of the Chinese Empire are not They will bully us. It turns out that the Russian soldiers often enter people's homes casually. If they see a beautiful girl in someone's home, it will be bad. They will often come to harass you. Look at this officer. Sir, he was not willing to come in at all. After the girl entered the door, she quickly called Qiu Shaofeng out. Peter laughed and said to Li Zhenhua: "Although my daughter doesn't want to marry the nephew of that military officer, she is attracted to her." Got this officer. You are his commander. Can you help talk this matter over? ". When Li Zhenhua heard why he had become an old man under the moon again, he hurriedly excused himself: "I won't talk nonsense. It depends on whether the young man is willing. "The mother next to her kept tugging on Peter's clothes to tell him not to say anything. This is not in line with the habits of people in the Chinese Empire. But Peter said: "My sweetheart, don't say anything about your daughter." We also have to help her with her affairs, otherwise her affairs will not succeed. These people of the Chinese EmpirePeople don't understand love. " Hearing this, Li Zhenhua was a little unhappy, "You know what he's talking about, love. How could we not be in love? It's just that our people are more reserved than your people. Who is a man like you? If you meet, don't invite women. The woman you slept with was very shameless. ¡± This situation in Russia also has its reasons. The ratio of Russian women to men is too different. There are about 7% more women than men. This means that many women will not have a husband in their life. The imbalance in the ratio of men to women. Female soldiers already appeared in Russia during World War I. But here, these people are all nationalities of the Chinese Empire, so they can no longer treat you and us. They have to let them keep some of their own customs and habits. It didn't matter as long as Qiu Shaofeng agreed to marry a mixed-race girl. The key was that he agreed. After a while, Qiu Shaofeng came in with a red face and saw that the girl was too courageous and it was too much for our young man. Cai E knew at first glance that the young man was thin-skinned, so he walked up to him and pulled the young man outside and said to him: "What's wrong, the girl took the initiative to attack you? " Qiu Shaofeng said: "The girl from the chief told me what happened in the morning and didn't say anything, but she said she fell in love with me. What do you think I should do? ¡±(To be continued Text Chapter 526 The new style of marrying a man (2) Paid chapter (8 points) Chapter 526 The new style of pairing with a man (2) Chapter 526 The new style of pairing with a man (2) "What else can we do? Just do it. This is not a mistake. I agree with the chief. I agree." Cai E deliberately made a detour: "But I don't know if you agree. If you don't agree, there is nothing anyone can do. It is very difficult for a soldier to find a wife in this era. Now there is a girl who is willing to marry him. Moreover, this girl is relatively beautiful, has a cheerful and generous personality, how can he not be moved by this? But the young man was too shy to say it himself. Cai E felt a little funny when he saw him like this, but he was really willing to help him, so he asked him in a different way: "Don't you hate this girl?" "No." "Then. Do you just like her? " "" The young man's face turned even redder. "You're the only one who leads troops to fight, so you can piss me off to death." Even so, Cai E still wanted to help: "Well, I'll take care of this for you. If I like you, it's settled that you don't hate it. She means that you also like her. It¡¯s okay on both sides. It¡¯s settled.¡± ¡°And the other side is also reasonable. It turns out that even if the matter is over, you still have to do your cousin¡¯s job well when you go back.¡± "My nephew is actually only fourteen years old. My cousin is just thinking about me, but he messed things up." "Haha, that's what happened. Let's go in and talk to everyone about this matter." The two of them entered the room and said to everyone, "Okay, I'll tell you." Let me announce that we have drank the wedding wine of Battalion Commander Qiu Shaofeng. "Everyone in the room was very happy and applauded together. Peter came into the room and took out a bottle of wine. This was the Russian. It was good, but everyone had something to do, so Cai E said to him: "We will not drink the wine today, but when your daughter gets married, we will definitely come to drink your wedding wine." Others said nothing. Notice that the second-hand girl rushed up to hug Qiu Shaofeng and started kissing her. Qiu Shaofeng's hands were firm, but he didn't dare to kiss the girl, and he even had no place to put his own hands. People laughed together. Li Zhenhua smiled and took out a jade pair from his clothes and said to Qiu Shaofeng: "I didn't bring any gifts, so I'll just give this jade pair to you as a gift. I hope you can grow old together." Upon hearing the emperor's words, Cai E hurriedly took it and handed it into Qiu Shaofeng's hand. Qiu Shaofeng just turned around and handed it over to the girl's hand. That Qiu Shaofeng finally remembered that he still had a mission. He hurriedly bid farewell to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and his newly settled wife. The girl also sent them out outside the door. Before anything happened, she was already a little reluctant to leave. A few people walked around the streets of Kyakhta and saw that the market in Kyakhta was relatively prosperous. In the past few years, Nie Qing's troops were here and Bian Qingshan was managed here. It should be said that they have made great efforts. The soldiers built a bridge on the Kyaktu River to facilitate people's travel. Now the situation in Henan is much better than that in the north. Under the management of the new government, people can live and work in peace and contentment, and businessmen can also make easy money passing by. After getting to know local businesses, I found out that people now feel at ease. Many Russians have also come over. They have become citizens of the Chinese Empire. They don't want to go back. At least the soldiers of the Chinese Empire will not bully them, but the soldiers over there are not so easy to talk to. They can accept anyone's home. If we go in at any time in the name of inspection and find wine or other valuable things, they will rob them. Especially some girls, as long as they see them, they will keep harassing them. Some girls have no choice but to come to us, but Such things would not happen on the side of the Chinese Empire. After a day of inspection, Li Zhenhua also got to know Qiu Shaofeng and felt that he was still a good soldier. If he was allowed to manage the Kyaktu area, there would be no problem. So Cai E had a conversation with him and asked him to manage the area. Pick it up. On this issue, Qiu Shaofeng readily agreed without any hesitation. Let him rebuild Bian Qingshan's father's tomb. It's too pitiful. When he comes back, he will look different. Li Zhenhua knows that Cai E wants to use this matter as an education base. It will be very good to educate cadres, students and others in the future. of persuasion. Qiu Shaofeng found out later thatThe piece of jade that was given to the daughter-in-law was a gift from the emperor himself. He immediately ran to the girl's house and told her the true situation. The two of them hurriedly treasured the piece of jade and only took it out to look at when no one was around. of. Cai E and his party returned to Kulun again. When they saw Bian Qingshan again, they were shocked. Bian Qingshan seemed to have changed. He was also thinner and his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. This desperate Sanlang started his work. He first put a The government's framework was set up and a place owned by a prince was used as his government office. The prince's hall for receiving guests became a comprehensive office area. Tables were placed one after another with small signs on them that read: Public security, planning, mining, agriculture and animal husbandry, transportation, culture, education and health, commerce, industry and more than a dozen brands. The people who work there are all young people. His cadre system has reached a younger level. Li Zhenhua knows the tempers of the people under him. Nie Qing and Tie Lei will never let go of their good officers and soldiers. But Seeing that the cadres under Bian Qingshan were all smart and capable, there was no one who was not spirited. Bian Qingshan could poach people from their hands. It seemed that he had really put in a lot of effort. With so much work, Bian Qingshan is not scratching his beard and eyebrows. He has his own plan. He first considers the issue of financial revenue. Without this, it will not work. It will not work if we all rely on national financial support. We must have our own industry. Industry, agriculture and animal husbandry are too slow, so start from the fastest place. He first asked the troops to tightly grasp some nearby gold mines in his own hands, reform them, and re-divide their powers into national, local, and mine. The responsibilities, rights, and interests of the Lord's three families should be clearly divided and clearly defined. , Li Zhenhua has notified Beijing about the rearrangement of "defense forces" here in Kulun. According to the emperor's wishes, people from the mainland began to provide support to the Kulun area. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to qidicn. Your support is my biggest motivation.) Chapter 526: New Style of Lalang Pei (2) Text Chapter 527 Planning New Coulomb Chapter 527: Planning for New Coulun Chapter 527: Planning for New Coulun Li Zhenhua has notified Beijing that the "defense forces" will be re-arranged here in Coulun. According to the emperor's wishes, people from the mainland began to provide support to the Coulun area. ("") Things are going on here in full swing, but most people in the country don't know. The reason is because a war against the Russian army will break out here in two years. The preparations here have not been announced to the outside world. The first people who came were the people from the Ministry of Railways and Transportation. Since they have been working in the field for many years, their response was faster than other departments. Moreover, they had their own unique conditions. They knew that the construction of the station in Kulen was already underway and some of the buildings had been completed. So they came from the construction-related units. They quickly started the work to make the train run as quickly as possible. Three days later, the communication work was completed. Now they can make phone calls with the railway department in Beijing. The corresponding telegraph has also been opened. Some supporting projects are also proceeding in an orderly manner. Soon, the interior decoration work of some buildings began. The person in charge of the railway suggested that after we complete the construction of the house, if there is no such large passenger flow, we should first let part of the property to be moved in by government departments or units in urgent need. However, Bian Qingshan just asked them to complete the railway hotel as soon as possible. After that, a large number of construction troops will arrive. If there is no place to go for a while, they can live there first and then enter their work position. Several professors from Tianjin University led their proud disciples there. They are leaders in civil engineering disciplines. Their purpose here is to help Ku Lun plan urban construction. Bian Qingshan's requirements for them are: First, they must have local characteristics. The second is to combine the old with the new, and the third is to be forward-looking in urban construction. Some large units can go outside the city to carry out construction. When those old professors heard that the mayor was really good, they immediately improved the city's taste. Those senior intellectuals immediately began on-site inspections. They walked around the entire city and gained a comprehensive understanding of the topography. They followed the traditional Chinese architectural model and first designed several avenues in the central area of ??the city, all of which were regular. The directions of south to north and east to west are then planned according to the needs of some units, such as commercial centers, postal centers, parks, stations, etc. There are also areas such as the cultural district, which is mainly focused on school education and scientific research, the commercial district, where some large and small commercial shops are arranged, and the industrial district, which contains factories of various sizes and a large number of green areas. . Intellectuals have their own standards for doing things. They drew the renderings and colored them. Several important bosses in Culun City looked at it together, and each one of them was full of praise for it. The distinct colors of each area indicate all the main functions of the city. The concept of a city is that the city is a place where the army is stationed and engaged in war - it is used for defense, while the city is a market place where ordinary people may buy and sell. The concept of a modern city no longer has the original "city" Cullen's design does not have a city wall design. This is a shortcoming in the minds of those soldiers, but they did not say that future construction should not have these. We soldiers cannot let the city built by our novices be invaded by the enemy. . Bian Qingshan was very happy to see this drawing and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to these professors and asked them on the spot to let some students stay as the main force of urban construction. Several people in my love expressed that it would be best to discuss with the students. Ask for their own opinions. After the professors returned to their own territory, they talked to the students. Many students asked to stay and directly entered the construction of Kulon. Some also asked for internships here. This made the old professors very happy that their students were still there. He is already popular among people even without graduation, which proves that his work has a huge impact on the country and society. Li Zhenhua was already heading east at this time. He wanted to go to the northeast to see what Zhang Zuolin was doing there. He was very relieved about Bian Qingshan's work here, but he mainly asked Bian Qingshan to pay attention to his health and not to do anything as soon as he started working. I don't care about that. I have to work and relax. I need to pay attention to rest. I can't finish my work and I have already collapsed from exhaustion. A few days later, Li Zhenhua and his guards were escorted by troops sent by Nie Qing to Zhang Zuolin's defense area. Zhang Zuolin came out a thousand miles to pick up Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Old Zhang, please remember that you can't do this in the future and no one will come to you." There is no need for you to come so far to pick us up. The friendship we cultivated during the war is just like brothers. If you don't pick me up from time to time, I won't say anything about you." Zhang Zuolin said: "Your Majesty, we can say that we are. Brother, but now your status has changed. You are the king of a country. I can¡¯t?Respect again, I mainly want to keep you safe. " Li Zhenhua laughed: "Is there anyone on your territory who would be unfavorable to me? That's impossible. " Zhang Zuolin said: "Although I have worked hard in this area, who can guarantee that there won't be some people who are dissatisfied with you who will be disadvantageous to you? It's better to be careful. Besides, we haven't seen each other for more than two years. I miss you too. " "If you say that, then I have nothing to say. You are always right. "After saying that, the two laughed loudly. Zhang Zuolin led Li Zhenhua and his party to start the inspection from his northwest defense area. On the surface, Zhang Zuolin seemed to be a rough guy, but in fact he was a typical rough and tumble person. Take a closer look at the defense area he designed. It can be seen from the defensive situation that his defense has several characteristics: first, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside; second, it is light on the front and heavy on the depth. On the surface, his defense has no characteristics, but on closer inspection, it is very famous at the border. There is not even a fixed sentry post nearby. Only a patrol team patrols several times a day. However, the one kilometer behind is heavily guarded at an observation post high up. A dozen brothers from one class have been here for a long time. They have already set up the observation post. A high-magnification telescope inside the permanent fortification was built and faced the Russian side. From a distance, it was impossible to spot the location of the observation post. It was snowing heavily in winter and in the jungle in summer. Their telescopes turned out to be captured Russian artillery. The team mirror can see far and have much higher clarity. As soon as the soldiers at the front observation post discover the situation, they can immediately notify the troops behind to prepare by phone. Text Chapter 528 The War Readiness Situation in Northeast China Chapter 528 The Combat Readiness Situation in the Northeast Chapter 528 The Combat Readiness Situation in the Northeast Behind them is a company responsible for guarding them. Their purpose is to delay the enemy's attack, that is, to resist the enemy for a few hours. There is a regiment three kilometers behind them. The troops are guarding here. With these few hours, their preparations have been completed. Even if the enemy's attacking force is a division, they can resist for two days. In front of this garrison is a battalion guarding them. They are all equipped with permanent fortifications built on favorable terrain. If the enemy does not have heavy firepower, they will not be able to attack at all. Even with heavy artillery fire, they can only eliminate some of the firepower points, but most of them can still be attacked. Continue to show off your firepower. Behind them is their depth defense firepower, and their artillery subordinates can also exert their power at this time. Every place within the first few kilometers has been divided into areas by the artillery. The artillery observers in the front only need to say the number. All the subsequent scales and muzzle angles are arranged in advance, and you just need to fire the cannon there. Cai E was very interested in their defense method. He went to various places with several staff members to look around. He reported back to Li Zhenhua and thought their method was good. One staff member raised a question: What if the enemy outflanks them from the side? Zhang Zuolin laughed. Then we let the artillery quickly move the infantry in front and the enemy into guerrilla warfare. All our officers and soldiers are very familiar with the terrain here. As long as they deal with the enemy, they will not get any good results. Two days later, Li Zhenhua and Zhang Zuolin arrived in Harbin. This is Zhang Zuolin's base camp. His headquarters is here. It turned out that Zhang Zuolin, as a military and political leader, was responsible for all-round work. He was also in charge of the local affairs. Later, Zhang Zuolin was unwilling to send Li Zhenhua. A civilian official was hired to manage local work, and soon Governor Hu Youde also arrived at Zhang Zuolin's headquarters. Zhang Zuolin¡¯s two generals, Yang Yutian and Zhang Yang, also arrived. This was a joint military and political meeting. Cai E stood up and first introduced the current situation in Russia to everyone. He mainly said that the Russians are now going all out to build the Far East Railway. Their purpose is to attack us. Although we taught them a lesson last time, they are still fighting for our lives. We are still determined to attack us. Now we must go all out to prepare for war and prepare to once again severely attack Russia's invasion. Cai E asked Zhang Zuolin to talk about their preparations. Zhang Zuolin immediately said seriously: "After the end of the last war, one-third of the grassroots officers and soldiers of our main force were demobilized and transferred to other jobs. Some of them entered the reserve force. In the past two years, we have recruited troops again. With the transfer of 50,000 troops and some southern troops, our total strength has now reached 200,000, including 30,000 artillery, 20,000 armor, 8,000 air force, 50,000 cavalry, and the rest is infantry. "One hundred thousand people." "Three supporting division-level medical units are currently stationed in Harbin, Changchun and Shenyang. They usually provide medical services to the local people." "We don't include North Korea's Kim Yongshun. The 50,000 people of Li Yahao and Li Yahao are relatively inferior in weapons and equipment, but their combat effectiveness is not low and is much higher than that of the Russian army. In the future, if a war breaks out against the Russians, their task is to deal with Vladivostok. But they can only attack from the land. If they want to truly solve Vladivostok, they must have the help of the navy. ""What's the equipment situation like?" Cai E continued to ask. "Our equipment is better than that of the Russian army. Our heavy artillery troops are equipped with 150 and 105 cannons, but the Russian army is mainly equipped with 75 and 37 artillery, and their artillery equipment is very few, even heavy machine guns. They have few infantry weapons, let alone them. "Li Zhenhua said to Bian Xiaolong, the intelligence staff officer: "Xiaolong, please add some information about the Russian army so that Lao Zhang and the others can learn more about the situation of the Russian army." "Bian Xiaolong, the intelligence staff officer. Xiaolong stood up. He first saluted everyone and then said to everyone: "Now the Russian army has created a mortar. It was developed by a captain in their army. Now they are ready to start recruiting troops. Because of their financial resources, "I'm nervous. Their military equipment is not in place, but compared to before, their equipment has improved, which requires our attention." "If they want to attack us, their plan is to use one million troops, but don't be nervous." There will be soldiers with wooden sticks as weapons. Their equipment cannot keep up. As time goes by, we will have more detailed information in the future." "Now they are actively seeking loans from France. The French can support them and their equipment situation may be better. In addition, you are facing the Russian army on the front line.?We must strengthen observation and report any new trends they have to us in a timely manner. " Zhang Zuolin nodded and said to Li Zhenhua: "On the surface, there is no movement on the part of the Russian army. If there is any, we will report it to the headquarters in time." Li Zhenhua asked Zhang Zuolin: "How do the common people treat the foreigners in our country now? ? " Zhang Zuolin replied, "We, the people of the Chinese Empire, have always paid attention to treating others equally. Those foreigners live very well here. They are very disgusted with the Russian rule. Many people have already joined our nationality. I think there is no benefit in letting them join. I don't know what the emperor thinks. " "As for the issue of them joining our nationality," Li Zhenhua said: "This is how I look at it. We do not advocate or encourage them to choose what they want, and then we can give them a nationality of the Chinese Empire. It doesn't hurt us now. "Governor Hu Youde said: "Among these foreigners, not only are Russians, but also a large part are Jews. They are the lowest level of people in Russia. Anyone can bully them casually, and even their life safety cannot be guaranteed. " "We can have a lenient control over the Jews, and we can also support them appropriately from a policy perspective and slowly turn them into real citizens of the Chinese Empire. "After hearing Hu Youde's words, the face of the Jewish girl appeared in Li Zhenhua's eyes. He had a very good impression of this little girl and began to care about her people. "But Li Zhenhua knew a saying from later generations: ¡°American wisdom is in Chinese minds and American money is in Jewish hands. "Now why don't you let some Jews come to China as much as possible so that they can bring more money to our Chinese Empire. Text Chapter 529 Bomber Chapter 529 Bomber Chapter 529 Bomber Time goes back to a month and a half ago. This was the best time in the Northeast. The autumn air was crisp and the air was at the airport of the aircraft manufacturing factory on the outskirts of Shenyang. (¡¶¡·) Like a light swallow, an "Albatross" glided on the runway less than 200 meters before rising into the air, then began to slowly rise in a circle and continued to circle over the airport. The main purpose of the first test flight is to prove that this aircraft can fly and fly smoothly without any problems with its components. The test flight lasted only ten minutes. This first flight should be said to be very successful. When the plane landed on the runway and finally stopped, the test pilot jumped out of the plane happily. In fact, such a first flight is the most dangerous. Only after it has been tested on the ground, no one knows whether it can fly into the sky. I don¡¯t know if it will fall from the sky. When Feng Ru took the engineering and technical personnel to collect test flight data (several test recording instruments were installed on the aircraft), General Logistics Director Wang Shizhen and others were watching. "What do you think of the result?" Wang Shizhen asked directly while he was still looking into the distance. He was watching the young aircraft genius discovered by Emperor Feng Ru who was already twenty years old. The aviation school in Beijing could no longer accommodate him. At his request, he came to the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. Here he and a group of young aircraft designers A combined effort to design a bomber. "The first test flight is very simple, but if there are no problems, it is already very successful. And this is the first design work led by Feng Ru." Sun Jie, the technical director of Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, nodded and said is the truth. Wang Shizhen also nodded slightly and said: "You must ensure that the performance of the aircraft fully meets the design requirements. Give me a report as soon as possible after the first stage test flight. Then I will immediately ask the military department to submit an equipment application, possibly next spring. Let this new bomber enter service?" "It depends on the test flight situation. The most important thing is the second phase of the test flight and the production capacity of the factory." Sun Jie did not hide anything. "I will keep a close eye here and try to strengthen the production link of the factory. But we The military order contract is the most important. As long as the factory gets the order contract, the enthusiasm will definitely increase a lot. "Wang Shizhen said: "It is not yet clear whether the aircraft meets the requirements. The emperor can only decide after seeing it. Technology is what matters most, but the emperor can grant you R&D funds. As long as you work hard, the empire will not treat you badly." Sun Jie nodded and thought for a while. Wang Shizhen said, "Okay, do your best. I will figure out how to solve other work problems.¡± The entire second phase of the test flight lasted for one and a half months. Eight test pilots took turns flying four verification aircraft (the other one was used for ground fatigue testing) and flew two or three times every day. Feng Ru also led a group of engineering and technical personnel to process the data obtained from the test flights day and night and make modifications to the aircraft design. During this month and a half, Feng Ru and the others were busy day and night. He not only had to supervise the test flight work and modify the design anytime and anywhere, but also reported the obtained data to Wang Shizhen and completed the official work report required by the emperor. . After the test flight work was successfully completed, Shenfei received the first batch of funds from the military department. They immediately organized personnel to produce them. The first batch of five aircraft were improved official production "Albatross" bombers. It turns out that the empire does not have a real bomber, only pilots dropping bombs with their hands. Now, through the efforts of Feng Ru and a group of colleagues, the first batch of bombers have appeared, although its load capacity is only a mere 400 kilograms. . The current limitation of the aircraft is that its power part is only a 400-horsepower engine. It is already very difficult to drive such a behemoth. When Li Zhenhua came to Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, their improved aircraft was already parked at the airport. Looking at this chubby aircraft, this is just the first step in bombing. There is still a long way to go. The test pilot got on the plane. The plane was gliding briskly and then raised its nose upwards to leave the ground. The plane continued to crawl to high altitude. Li Zhenhua knew that this was caused by the plane's insufficient power. Now its speed was very slow and it was struggling to break away from the earth. Its gravity. Finally, it completed its crawling and entered the level flight stage, thus speeding up its speed. In the air, the aircraft was performing dive, pull-up and evasive actions. Although its take-off speed was not satisfactory, if it faced those who had never seen an aircraft before, The Russian soldiers believed that the power would be amazing. Nowadays, all airplanes are bi-wing. There is still a process to turn them into single-wing. But seeing that Feng Ru has already designed and manufactured an airplane for the main purpose, Li Zhenhua still?I am very excited that Li Zhenhua, the number one aircraft manufacturer in China, has told people around him to protect him. The existing test pilot system has made it impossible for him to fly into the sky. Since he is still a big child and he doesn't know how to take care of his own life, the aircraft manufacturer chose a suitable girl for him, Yang Liu, to help him take care of his daily life. In fact, this was also the one chosen by the leaders of the factory for him. Daughter-in-law. However, the selection of this "daughter-in-law" is very strict. She must be good-looking, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and generous. She must take care of him in life and help him at work. Then this person must have some knowledge in aviation. One of Feng Ru's classmates came into people's sight. This person was not only good-looking, but also an admirer of Feng Ru. He secretly had a crush on Feng Ru. It's been a long time, but Feng Ru doesn't know it yet. All his thoughts are on the plane. Until such a person was selected, the leaders were relieved. The task assigned by the emperor was half completed. Today Li Zhenhua also saw that Yang Liu was quite satisfied with her. After the trial, everyone had dinner together. Feng Ru usually did not participate in such occasions. He thought it was a waste of time, but today the emperor was present and he could not leave under any circumstances. Even if Li Zhenhua was not the emperor, he would not leave because Li Zhenhua discovered his Bole. If it hadn't been for Li Zhenhua, I don't know what his future path would have been. Feng Ru regarded Li Zhenhua as his eldest brother in his heart. Brothers would not treat his eldest brother like he would meet anyone else. Text Chapter 530 Bomber (2) Chapter 530 Bomber (2) Chapter 530 Bomber (2) Li Zhenhua raised his glass and said to Feng Ru: "Congratulations on the success of your first aircraft design. You still have a long way to go. Our empire is in great need of talents like you. Hope You can continue to work hard to design better aircraft for our country in the future." Seeing that Feng Ru was just listening to Li Zhenhua's speech, he didn't even hold the cup. Yangliu pulled Feng Ru's sleeve and whispered to Feng Ru: "Quickly. "Lift the cup, the emperor is talking to you." "Ah, yes." Feng Ru raised the cup in a hurry and drank the wine without bothering to eat. Feng Ru began to speak: "The emperor's current engine is too powerful. If it is too small, he will not be able to complete the development of our future aircraft." Li Zhenhua knew the future development trend of the aviation industry. He smiled and said to Feng Ru: "The current engine power is 500 horses, which is too small. One engine will definitely not be enough. " Before Li Zhenhua finished speaking, Feng Ru jumped up with joy. He said to the people around the table: "That's right. If one doesn't work, why don't I use two? I couldn't think of such a simple question. I'm so stupid. Okay." After that, he slapped himself twice on the head. Everyone laughed. Only Yang Liu gently pulled Feng Ru and said softly to him: "Sit down quickly. You don't know how to restrain yourself in front of the emperor. You hurt yourself." It was still useful and Feng Ru said softly. Ru's head was lightly stroked. Yang Liu¡¯s little daughter gesture made people laugh more heartily, but then people stopped laughing because Feng Ru had asked Yang Liu to take out paper and pen for him and he had already started drawing again at the dinner table. Li Zhenhua saw Feng Ru's appearance and said to people: "Let's eat quickly and leave him alone. He is not in the mood to eat right now." After eating, Li Zhenhua and the others came out of the dining room and went to another place to rest. Two people, Feng Fa and Yang Liu, were left behind. Li Zhenhua said to Sun Feihu: "Go and watch Feng Ru for a while and urge him to eat and ask him to come to my place. I have something to talk to him about." Li Zhenhua saw paper and pen on the table and he also started drawing on the table. Li Zhenhua suddenly remembered that in later generations, he drew an old-fashioned airplane on the table with two propellers mounted on the wings on both sides. However, the wings of this airplane were already single-winged. Li Zhenhua drew an The picture below also drew a side view. His painting had just been completed. Sun Feihu had already invited Feng Ru over. Li Zhenhua just asked Feng Ru about the picture you drew. Let me take a look. Feng Ru knew that his emperor knew more about airplanes than he did. He had great admiration for the emperor. Sometimes some of the emperor's words were not heard by others. But when Feng Ru heard it, it was like an enlightenment to him, and he suddenly understood. Yang Liu put the pictures painted by Feng Ru into the hands of the emperor, but Feng Ru's eyes were fixed on the two pictures painted by Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua saw that Feng Ru still used the double-wing model, but it was already better than before. According to his thinking, it should be able to carry six to seven hundred kilograms. Feng Ru had already taken the picture drawn by the emperor into his hands. He looked at it carefully for a while and murmured to himself. At another time he closed his eyes and calculated by himself. At another time, he opened his eyes and said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, I think this is the way to go. "Design a kind of aircraft." Li Zhenhua said with a smile: "Is this okay?" "It should be possible, but I can only know this after careful calculation. But if it works, this kind of fully enclosed aircraft will be much better than the original one. In the future, it can be a means of transportation and ordinary people can ride it." It's flying in the sky." Li Zhenhua said: "That would be great." He was quietly encouraging Feng Ru's creativity. If it could really be manufactured, no matter how large the area of ??our Chinese empire, we would be able to look around. But it can definitely be made. It just depends on which country makes it first. Science and technology have no national boundaries, but scientists do have national boundaries. Li Zhenhua knew that the real rapid development of aircraft occurred during the Second World War. The Second World War greatly stimulated the development of aircraft in various countries. If in World War I, aircraft were just a first test of their skills, this time they showed off their power. Under the urgent needs of the war, aircraft made a second leap. Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany all made great breakthroughs in aircraft. The performance of aircraft has developed rapidly. At that time, Japan's "Zero" fighter, the former Soviet Union's I-15 and I-16 fighter jets, and the German aircraft design master Willy ? The 09 American P40 fighter and B29 bomber designed and manufactured by Messerschmitt all appeared in the war. The most representative one is the American B29 "Super Sky Fortress", which has a total weight of 5 tons, a maximum range of more than 5,000 kilometers, a maximum flight altitude of 10,200 meters, and a bomb load of 9 tons. That's itThis aircraft dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6 and 9, 1945 respectively. Nowadays, when it comes to airplanes, only a few people know what is going on. Even those airplane designers have nothing to learn from. They can only design airplanes based on their own imagination. They have no There is so much information available for modern people to look up that everywhere is overcrowded and there is no shortage of talented people. Aren¡¯t there a lot of people making planes, tanks, etc. nowadays? They can make planes and tanks for their own entertainment. Li Zhenhua himself can only say these things now. No matter how many things he can't say now, he still has to let technicians like Feng Ru handle things by themselves. He can make these reminders, but he can't say everything by himself. Do it yourself. Jin Yongshun and Li Yahao came to Shenyang to meet Li Zhenhua. Cai E has informed Jin Yongshun and Li Yahao that the emperor is going to summon them. Now they have arrived in Shenyang and hurriedly came to see the emperor without rest. They soon met the emperor. These two Korean cadres turned out to be generals under Li Biao. They had made great contributions in the battle against the Japanese army and in the subsequent battle against the Russian army. Now they were facing Russia. They are going to use a large number of troops against us. As the North Korean garrison, they are the closest to Vladivostok, so they have been keeping an eye on the movements of the Russian troops. Text Chapter 531 Current Situation in North Korea Chapter 531 The Current Situation of North Korea Chapter 531 The Current Situation of North Korea Jin Yongshun and Li Yahao are both former subordinates of Li Biao. They successfully entered North Korea after attacking the Japanese in the Sino-Japanese War of 1991. They have been in North Korea for many years. They are different from Yuan Shikai back then. Yuan Shikai had been the Supreme Emperor in North Korea for several years, but they had been in North Korea for these years. They were more familiar with the situation in North Korea than the leader of North Korea, and their prestige among the lower classes of North Korea was quite high. A large part of their soldiers are from North Korea, but their army management and training methods are all the ways of the Chinese Empire. To put it bluntly, their officers and soldiers are proud to be subjects of the Chinese Empire, although they have Sometimes they have to listen to some instructions from the King of Korea, but in fact these troops absolutely obey the orders of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. Their main tasks in North Korea are twofold: one is to watch the Japanese, and the other is to watch the Russians. Of course, they are also monitoring the leader of North Korea. You have to be honest. As long as you are dishonest, you will look good. So now The King of Korea had already proposed to surrender his country. He wanted to be a rich man anywhere in the Chinese Empire and was unwilling to be such a so-called king anymore. However, Li Zhenhua never agreed. The reason why Li Zhenhua did not agree was that he had to consider the international influence and his confidante Jin Xifeng. He did not want Jin Xifeng to see him taking North Korea into his own hands. But the big bosses in the Government Affairs Council also have different opinions, that is, considering the international impact. And North Korea is between China and Japan. It would be good to have such a buffer. But Li Zhenhua felt that this was not bad, so he let them exist like this. Anyway, it was Kim Yongshun and Li Yahao who had the final say. It didn't matter whether there was a king of North Korea or not, and the matter was dragged on like this. Other countries also know full well that North Korea is under the control of the Chinese Empire and there is nothing they can do about it. Now these two people, who are more powerful than the king of North Korea, have come to Li Zhenhua. They are very grateful to the emperor because the emperor has great trust in them. It turns out that the previous emperors of China were not at ease with these generals who were stationed abroad. Their family members must be placed in the capital under the direct supervision of the emperor, including parents, wives, children, and their clansmen. That is to say, if the hostage is held in the hands of the emperor, as long as he behaves improperly, his whole family will be killed or his nine tribes will be destroyed directly. But Li Zhenhua was not like this. He asked the generals below to take their parents, wives, children, and children with them. He said: "Who doesn't have an old man? Now is the time when his sons and daughters need to fulfill their filial piety, but you take their When the children are sent far away from home, they cannot fulfill their filial piety in front of their parents. Can you, as the emperor, be so unkind?" Therefore, his cadres were very grateful for his gesture. His requirements for the following cadres are: first, to ensure loyalty to the country and nation; second, to do their jobs well; third, to honor their parents; and third, they must stay away from money and ensure their income and expenditure. The situation is definitely under the control of intelligence personnel. The requirements for other matters are not very strict. For example, some military officers or cadres are not very strict about concubinage and drinking. Of course, they are even more non-interfering with their fertility issues. For example, Jin Yongshun and Li Yahao have Han wives and Korean concubines. Li Zhenhua has always thought this way about ethnic issues. I don¡¯t care if you are Han, Hui, Mongolian, Korean, etc. It doesn¡¯t matter which ethnic group you are. You nationals are all members of our Chinese nation. This is why some cadres do not understand that Li Zhenhua did not kill a large number of Manchus after he put down the rebellion. He is looking at ethnic issues from a modern perspective. Jin Yongshun and Li Yahao were also very happy to see Li Zhenhua. They had not seen the emperor for a long time. It turned out that he was just their commander-in-chief and now he has become the emperor. However, the friendship they forged with the emperor in the flames of war was natural. I feel that I am closer to the emperor than others. They felt that even though they were in person with the emperor, the emperor would not have any intentions towards them. They all sat together and talked happily. First, the guards served the two of them the best tea, and they drank it slowly. First, Li Zhenhua asked: "How is it? Is everything okay with you in North Korea?" "Everything is okay with us in North Korea, but we can't see the emperor often. This is the most uncomfortable place for us." "There are several children down there. ?" Li Zhenhua asked kindly. Jin Yongshun said: "I now have three concubines who have given me two sons and a daughter, but my wife has not given birth to any." "Do you not want your wife anymore?"?Li Zhenhua's face looked a little unhappy. "No, Your Majesty." When Jin Yongshun saw that the Emperor was unhappy, he hurriedly explained: "My wife has been in poor health because I was away from home and worked too hard in the past few years, so she has never had children." "In that case, you should be more concerned about yours. My wife turned out to be working outside for you. It¡¯s not easy to be able to take care of the elderly at home with peace of mind. Now that your life is better, you must pay more attention to her. If it doesn¡¯t work, let her go to Shanghai or Beijing to see her. Women don¡¯t have children of their own. She feels uncomfortable." "I will accompany her to visit the country when the opportunity arises." "That's good. What about you, Yahao?" "I also have three children, one wife, and two concubines. One person per person. The relationship between them is also very good. The old man is very blessed under the care of the three of them. " "That's very good. It's not easy for the old man in his life. Okay, let's talk about all aspects. "We can pull out a total of 50,000 troops now, half of which are Korean officers and soldiers. The weapons and equipment are inferior to those of the domestic army, but the combat effectiveness is definitely good. The two of us can lead these 50,000 people." We will use domestic methods to ensure that there will be no other problems within North Korea after leaving. We will use domestic methods for political management. Li Yahao continued: "The entire North Korea is now learning Chinese culture. Such cultural education has been carried out for more than three years. Chinese is now the common language in North Korea. Now only a few scholars are retained to study the cultural history of ancient North Korea. " Text Chapter 532 Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi Chapter 532 Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi Chapter 532 Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi Li Zhenhua said: "North Korea's culture should be properly preserved. North Korea has been under the protection of our Chinese Empire for many times in history, but they ultimately have their own culture. "We cannot completely remove the history of a nation. In addition, North Korea's agricultural production has recovered well in recent years and is more than self-sufficient. In terms of industry, we have established several major gold mines, copper mines, and iron mines. The mines and coal mines are all under our control. Except for the gold mine's products, which are directly handed over to the Empire's Ministry of Finance, the rest of the products are transported to Shenyang. In this way, we have some funds at our disposal. We plan to use them in the near future. We are building a railway from Pyongyang to Dandong to connect the railway with domestic transportation lines to facilitate the transportation of various minerals to the country. We have sent relevant reports to the railway department and sent corresponding personnel to North Korea for on-site inspection. " Li Zhenhua knows that North Korea has a large amount of its own minerals. Now that they have it under control, there will be no problem. As long as they can control these, even if someone in North Korea wants to make trouble, they can't make trouble because they have no source of funds. You know now War is just burning money. If you don't have the ability to make money, then you don't want to fight. Only when you have strong resources can you consider fighting. As they talked, it was already noon. Li Zhenhua arranged for lunch to be eaten with the two generals. Since they continued to talk in the afternoon, they didn't drink much at noon, but the dishes were all Northeastern and Korean-style mushroom and dog meat from the mountains. Everyone enjoyed eating the Northeastern dry tofu. After dinner, we rested for a while and then continued talking. In the afternoon, we mainly discussed things about Vladivostok. The two people spoke in great detail about the Russian military's defensive capabilities in Vladivostok. They have never stopped reconnaissance activities in Vladivostok. The Russian military has been operating here for many years. Their defense capabilities at sea have reached the extreme. They themselves also boasted that they are China. If people want to capture Vladivostok, it will take more than half a year. The external coastal defenses at sea are permanent reinforced concrete fortifications. They disassembled some large-caliber artillery that were not used on warships and used them in coastal defenses. In some places, the fortifications are three to four meters thick. The cement shells are absolutely sufficient. A large amount of food is also prepared in the fortifications in case the traffic is cut off by the enemy. The food in the bunker alone can last them for a year. . In addition to those cannons, they also built countless forts and bunkers to wait for the soldiers of the Chinese Empire to come and die. It has been almost four years since the armistice. Why haven't the Russian troops withdrawn? They feel that Vladivostok was given to the Chinese Empire in vain. They are unwilling to do so, so they have been delaying the handing over of Vladivostok to the Chinese Empire. In addition, they are also constructing fortifications in the north. They worked hard to build three lines of defenses on the forward position. Each fortification has dug a communication trench one meter wide and two meters deep. Their soldiers can shoot at the attackers here and can easily transfer troops under the opponent's fire. A large number of mines are also laid in the outermost area. The firepower of their heavy machine guns can form cross fire. Although the Russian army does not distribute many heavy machine guns to infantry units in other places, there is definitely a super density here. Behind the third line of fortifications, they also made great efforts to build seven bunkers. Each bunker is ten meters high and divided into three levels. There are shooting ports on three sides facing the north. If an enemy attacks on either side, they will be within the shooting range of the bunker. The bunker is equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns. The Shuangchengzi behind Vladivostok is now also under the control of the Russian army. They have built a corridor-style fortification belt between the two cities. The entire Shuangchengzi has also been made into the same fortifications as Vladivostok. In this way, Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok are separated. Forming the famous horn formation in ancient Chinese military art, the two cities can support each other and they must have at least two armored trains on the railway line between the twin cities of Vladivostok. If there is danger in one place, it can be quickly supported in another place. The armored train can arrive quickly, and the troops can also arrive quickly. The Russian army in Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi has reached more than 200,000 people. Originally, the Russian army here plus the navy only had 70,000 to 80,000 people. However, when the Russian army retreated, some Russian troops came here to increase the number. In addition to their defensive strength, they also mobilized all residents who could work and gave them weapons so that they could enter the position and become cannon fodder in the future. There are also some Russian women among them who have joined the army. They have also taken up arms, but if they really fight, they will all be in vain. What good are women without training. But one of their great uses is that like Little Japan, they have become the """ of some military officers. Although Russia?When there are many girls and boys, women don't really care who they are with, and they don't want to be dragged by anyone for "comfort" or "consolation." The standard for recruiting new recruits in Russia is male citizens aged between fifteen and sixty. Only those in this problematic age group are checked. Then you can only report to the army. If you find that there are those who can't go, their family will be in trouble. A squad of the Russian army will go to that house and search their house. If they find anything, they will be confiscated. Women will be accused and taken away. Women are not immune. They will also be accused and taken away. Their fate is the same as those of the "women's camps". "The sisters are all the same. Since they turned Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi into military camps, it was difficult for the intelligence personnel of the Chinese Empire to move around. This information was all sent out before, and it was also recorded by our airship troops. Although it is very possible for people to enter, the special forces of the North Korean army have been carrying out activities outside Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi. They have never stopped harassing them. If they have the opportunity, they will attack those individual Russian troops. Or the squad attacks. They will never do anything with confidence. Relaxation is also the biggest headache for the Russian army. Text Chapter 533 Sniper Chapter 533 Sniper Chapter 533 Sniper Although it is impossible for people to get in, the special forces of the North Korean army have been carrying out activities outside Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi. They have never stopped harassing them as long as there are When given the opportunity, they will attack individual Russian troops or squads. They will never do anything with confidence. Guerrilla warfare is also the biggest headache for the Russian army. When it comes to guerrilla warfare, if the Chinese Imperial Army under the personal training of Li Zhenhua thought they were second, then absolutely no one in the world would dare to say that they were first. Just that "the enemy advances, the enemy retreats, the enemy retreats, the enemy garrisoned, I disturb the enemy, and when the enemy is tired, I fight." The sixteen-character mantra can make people have countless associations. Outside the city of Vladivostok, two people in camouflage uniforms were lying on a hillside surrounded by dense woods and weeds. One of them was Li Xiaohu, who turned out to be Li Zhenhua's guard. He had an almost genius ability in shooting. Li Zhenhua originally wanted him to go to school to study and then lead a small army, but he was not interested and didn't want to go. Later, Sun Feihu lied to him and said that he could shoot at will in Vladivostok. of. As a result, Li Xiaohu immediately proposed to Li Zhenhua that he wanted to go "hunting" in Vladivostok. Li Zhenhua immediately understood that Sun Feihu and the others were lying to him, but he did not tell him. Instead, he asked Sun Feihu to arrange for him to come to Vladivostok and provide him with a deputy. There is a team of more than 20 people who carry out free sniping against the enemy under his guidance. The people who equipped him were all good at shooting. Although some people were not very convinced of him at first, they were convinced as soon as he started shooting. His shooting genius is a kind of talent. The gun went off without even seeing how he aimed it. And it¡¯s guaranteed that there will be a harvest when the gunshot rings out. More than 20 people took turns to be his observers and also to determine the results of the battle for him. On the first day, Li Xiaohu's luck was not very good. He chose a small road that the Russian army often passed as a sniper point, but only six Russian soldiers fell to his gun. But the next day, his luck came first. A small Russian transport team appeared, about ten of them riding horses, and another horse-drawn cart appeared in front of Li Xiaohu. Li Xiaohu said to his observer Yue Lin: "You shoot the person in front and I will shoot him as soon as your gun goes off." This observer Yue Lin was also dissatisfied with Li Xiaohu. He looked at Li Xiaohu and nodded. He began to target the Russian soldier at the front. Soon Yue Lin's gun rang out. The Russian soldier covered his chest with his hands and fell off his horse. The other Russian soldiers didn't understand what was going on. Li Xiaohu's gun rang out at the end almost at the same time. When that Russian soldier died, the Russian soldiers were in chaos. Some were about to run away from their horses, while others hurriedly dismounted and found a place to prepare for shooting with the enemy. Li Xiaohu's gun fired rapidly. He hit all the Russian soldiers who were preparing to escape or had already started to run. With the sound of Li Xiaohu's gun, the soldiers fell off their horses one by one. Seven soldiers who were riding wildly fell down. Got off. Those soldiers who dismounted in advance and found a place to hide secretly thought that they were lucky that they were not in a hurry to escape, otherwise they would all be dead like them. But they didn't know that their bad luck would soon begin. A Russian soldier holding a gun and looking for a target came into Li Xiaohu's sight. He gently pulled the trigger with his hand and a cloud of blood mist rose up with the sound of the gun. The target went off to meet their Lord without moving. At this time, Yue Lin also shot a soldier and the soldier was motionless. Li Xiaohu estimated in his mind that there were about four or five people on the opposite side. He pulled the gun back and retracted his body and said to Yue Lin: "Retreat." Yue Lin was so convinced by Li Xiaohu that he couldn't say anything. When he heard him shout, he immediately stepped back. He was a little confused about Li Xiaohu. Asked: "What? Do you want to let them go?". "They are all dead now, but we have to change places." Li Xiaohu was in front, Yue Lin was following them, and moved to the second sniper point that had been selected. Here they had reached the enemy's flank. The noodles are much larger. The remaining Russian soldiers were hiding behind a large vehicle and were shooting at the place where they were just now. They didn't even know that the sniper point opposite was already deserted. Li Xiaohu and Yue Lin gently stretched out their guns. Li Xiaohu still said what he said just now: "You hit me first and I will hit you from behind." Yue Lin saw that he was not polite and pointed his gun directly at the most obvious person. The enemy pulled the trigger, and with the sound of gunfire, Li Xiaohu also killed one of the people on the opposite side. There were three people on the other side, but when the gun was fired here, they all hid themselves and no one could be seen at all. Li Xiaohu searched carefully with his eyes. He saw a Russian soldier's thigh, but the upper part was in a blind spot and could not hit his head, so he shot the Russian soldier's leg. He screamed immediately after he was shot in the leg. stand up. Up to this time, no one in the dozen or so Russian soldiers in front of them had been injured.?It's a one-shot kill. The injured Russian soldier was obviously calling his comrades to save him. The Russian soldier next to him moved and wanted to raise his head to see how injured he was, but Li Xiaohu didn't give him the chance and knocked him out with one shot. . "The last one is trying to retreat." Li Xiaohu reminded Yue Lin, but Yue Lin didn't notice that the enemy was using the wheels to cover himself and retreating backwards. "Look at the wheels." Li Xiaohu reminded Yue Lin again and finally found the Russian soldier who was slowly retreating behind. Now that he was discovered, he couldn't escape. Yue Lin stared at him and finally shot him in the head. Li Xiaohu's last shot put the Russian soldier who was shot in the leg to death. There were seventeen people in total. Xiaohu killed eleven people. Yue Lin killed six people. Yue Lin was completely convinced this time. If Li Xiaohu hadn't given these three people to him, he could have dealt with these seventeen people himself. This is between himself and others. How can one be unconvinced by the gap? Three days later, Li Xiaohu's good luck came to an end. It turned out that the Russian army began to deal with him carefully. The next morning, due to his precise shooting, the Russian army also sent an excellent shooting team to deal with him. Li Xiaohu arrived earlier and started an ambush there. He believed that the enemy would definitely come again. They would definitely use this place as a target of attack because this road is very important and the Russian army must pass through here. Text Chapter 534 Confrontation between snipers Chapter 534 Confrontation between snipers Chapter 534 Confrontation between snipers It didn¡¯t take long and a dozen or so outstanding marksmen from the Russian army arrived after careful selection. Li Xiaohu knew that the enemy would soon retaliate against him. You have already camouflaged your sniper position and you can't help but be prepared for the enemy. If you are not prepared for the enemy, you are just kidding with your own life. Li Xiaohu is very satisfied with his camouflage uniform and the steel helmet covered with a layer of cloth. Unlike the enemy's clothing, which is black, white, red or red, Li Xiaohu is definitely not aware of it. It is very conspicuous in the eyes of the sniper, which is telling himself: "Shoot at me and my target is the most obvious." But when he saw the enemy Li Xiaohu who came today, he knew that he had met his opponent today because their clothes were all There was one person with no obvious color who was also wearing a Chinese imperial blouse. Each of them had a circle made of branches on their head. Their purpose was to disguise themselves, but Li Xiaohu knew that this was the easiest way for them to be exposed. As long as the people there move, the target will be much larger than the head. After several days of free sniping, Li Xiaohu found that Yue Lin was still quite good. When he was resting, he also gave him special guidance in shooting. This made Yue Lin's skills improve quickly. Li Xiaohu decided to teach him a few more times. Today, Yue Lin happened to be in the same group as him. Yue Lin saw the opponent's posture and knew that the enemy had begun to pay attention to them. Today's sniper attack might be very dangerous. But because Li Xiaohu, a sniper genius, was by his side, he was not very nervous. The enemy is already here, so you're welcome. They started shooting quickly, but they only fired a few shots before stopping. It turned out that the enemies were not just rookies, but veterans. You can tell from the signs on their shoulders. They are all veterans and officers who have received many nods. The other party's gun is a "Mosin Nagant" rifle produced by Russia. The rifle's bullets are 62 mm with a muzzle velocity of 615 m/s and an effective range of more than 300 meters. The semi-automatic rifle in Li Xiaohu's hand has a caliber of 62 mm and a muzzle velocity of 735 m/s. The effective range of m/s is 400 meters. Semi-automatic is good for its fast shooting speed, but it also has an inherent advantage in sniper confrontation. It turns out that some of the snipers in the Chinese Empire are using Russian "Mosin Nagant" rifles or It is a "Lee Enfield" rifle produced in England. However, both of these guns are relatively long and are not suitable for use by people in the Chinese Empire. Therefore, most Chinese snipers still choose to use their own rifles. Now they don't have scopes on their guns and they shoot by sight. Those outstanding shooters of the Russian army clearly knew that the distance between the two sides was more than 200 meters, which was within the effective shooting range of their guns, so the Russian army quickly began to shoot their guns? Enfield is obviously much more accurate than those ordinary soldiers. Even Li Xiaohu, who is the best concealed, is often shot by the enemy. Li Xiaohu was not afraid of the enemy's shooting at all. He knew that he was well hidden and the enemy was just shooting blindly, so he started to use the method of changing places after one or two shots. Soon, five or six people fell on him. Yue Lin also took the time to bring down three people at gunpoint. Now it was the third time they had changed places. He gently raised his head and looked across with his eyes. A Russian officer with a hard sign on his shoulder was looking this way. Li Xiaohu didn't let him find out that he was there. He quickly He shot him directly in the head with his gun. Yue Lin also hit a Russian officer there. Immediately there were bullets coming from the opposite side, but Li Xiaohu and Yue Lin had already retreated. Li Xiaohu noticed that a small tree behind him shook. He knew that someone behind him was coming up. Sure enough, a voice shouted softly to here: "Li Xiaohu The person opposite the captain is a tough guy. Hearing the gunfire, he is facing you. " "Pay attention to them," Li Xiaohu said to Yue Lin. He said to the deputy captain Yao Yiping who appeared in front of him: "This is a group of Russian troops. You are good shooters, don¡¯t come up, stay hidden below.¡± Yao Yiping is a female soldier. She is also good at marksmanship and is very prestigious in this shooting team. She said to Li Xiaohu: ¡°Let¡¯s not go down. Let¡¯s go around them.¡± Let¡¯s fight them from the side.¡± Li Xiaohu had no choice but to nod to her and agree to her proposal. There are no rules in war. The other side has more people and we have more people, so let¡¯s use our advantages together. Yao Yiping quickly turned around and disappeared. Li Xiaohu had once again changed the shooting position. He was observing Shot. However, the Russian bullets also began to shoot towards them. When Li Buhu heard someone snort, he knew that someone on his side was injured. With our own people on one side to contain the enemy, the pressure on our side is obviously reduced, and the Russian army thinks they have reached that side.Li Xiaohu spent all his energy on their side. Li Xiaohu soon discovered the movements of the Russian army. He immediately told Yue Lin: "You come and fight under the third small tree from the right in front." Is he Li? Enfield cultivated Yue Lin's observation skills while his own eyes continued to search for the other person. Until his eyes became numb, he still didn't notice anyone. Suddenly, there was a stone on the opposite side, which made Li Xiaohu feel a little awkward. First, he had never found such an obvious stone before. Second, someone had artificially camouflaged it on the stone. It was a camouflage circle on the head of a Russian soldier, now on top of the stone. Li Xiaohu immediately discovered the shoulder of the other person, but the person on the other side was blocked by a stone. He did not hesitate to draw the gun and fired the bullet. It passed through the shoulder of the other person. The other person also retracted. He will die, but it will definitely be a serious injury. The bullet must have penetrated his chest. If he has a "good life", he will not die, but the opposite possibility is much greater. Gunshots were also heard from Li Xiaohu's left side. Now another group of shooters started shooting at the enemies. Li Xiaohu felt more at ease. The enemies on the opposite side couldn't escape. Text Chapter 535 The ¡°Lord¡± is not on the side of the Russian army Chapter 535 The "Lord" did not stand on the side of the Russian army. Chapter 535 The "Lord" did not stand on the side of the Russian army. Suddenly, there was the whistling sound of artillery shells in the air. The target was obviously the position of the people under my control. The shells were dozens of miles away from me. The place exploded. It seems that the enemy found that they can't deal with us with guns, so they are going to use cannons to deal with us. This is the enemy's test firing. The enemy will soon cover this place with artillery fire. Li Xiaohu couldn't help but glanced into the distance. At this moment, he discovered the distance. There is a Russian soldier about 700 meters away from the enemy's artillery observation post. He is observing here with a telescope. Li Xiaohu said to Yue Lin: "Tell everyone to withdraw and give me your guns. Quickly" Is Yue Lin's gun a Li? Enfield has a longer range than the semi-automatic in his hand. Yue Lin hurriedly handed his gun into Li Xiaohu's hands. Yue Lin hurriedly notified other comrades to evacuate here. This shooting position is lower than other places. The snipers on the opposite side here cannot find him. He placed the gun in front and carefully aimed at the target in the distance. The gun can reach 1,500 meters, but you need to use a gun? If you want to hit a distance of 700 meters with an Enfield or semi-automatic, it will be much more difficult. Wind direction, wind strength, temperature, ruler, etc. must be taken into consideration. But Li Xiaohu didn't think much about it. He didn't use Yue Lin's Li? The Enfield rifle is still easy to use as my own gun. After setting the ruler at seven hundred meters, he stretched out his hand and felt the direction and strength of the wind. It was still within his control. Li Xiaohu aimed carefully at the artillery observer in the distance, then held his breath and pressed the button. Triggered. The figure in the distance disappeared. I don¡¯t know if it was a hit, but Li Xiaohu didn¡¯t care about it. He quietly entered a place he had chosen to avoid the shells. This was a blind spot for the cannon, and the shells could only fly over the head. But he will not fall next to himself. However, several abnormal phenomena followed one after another. First, the shooters on the opposite side left their shooting positions, and then there was the enemy's artillery. People waited for a long time and did not see them firing. Only after more than 20 minutes did they see them blindly shooting towards Why is it said that the shells fired here are blind because some of the shells landed at the place where their own shooters were. It should have hit the opponent, but since there is no way to determine the score, it cannot be counted. But from now on, the Russian army in Vladivostok knows the experience of the shooters in the Chinese Empire on the opposite side. They can actually hit the target at a distance of 700 meters. Is this still within human capabilities? Why does the great "Lord" not side with us but side with the people of the Chinese Empire? This made them complain about their great "Lord". However, although it is not certain, the Russian army has been completely surrounded here. It is impossible for the enemy to come out casually. Speaking of harassing the enemy, those who caused the greatest damage to the Russian army were the snipers. At this time, the snipers were different from the current sense. They could only be regarded as some special shooters. The actions of a few people guarding the enemy had been greatly affected. limits. Listening to his two beloved generals talking about the situation in Vladivostok, Li Zhenhua was very happy. He just stayed still. But as long as the battle begins, Vladivostok will definitely return to the hands of the Chinese Empire. However, once the attack starts here, an important general will be required to directly command here. If things go wrong, there will be a bloody battle here. Li Zhenhua gave necessary instructions on some work here. Regarding the economic work in North Korea, the military should still be carried out according to their original situation, and the original arrangements should be made, but Li Zhenhua must be strengthened? Enfield is conducting intelligence reconnaissance work on Shuangchengzi. If the other party is in internal chaos, don't send people there to avoid unnecessary casualties. The weapons and equipment of the North Korean garrison must be replaced in a timely manner, and the replaced weapons can also be exported to Japan through some necessary means (that is, smuggling). The benefits of doing so are huge. First, it can increase one's fiscal revenue. Second, Can add some confusion to Japan there. Jin Yongshun and Li Yahao happily returned to North Korea. The conversation with the emperor made them determined to follow their own path. With the emperor's support, their future work will be even better. During these days in Shenyang, Li Zhenhua was mainly with Tang Jieshu. Now Tang Jieshu is the governor of Liaoning Province. He is now in charge of both economics and politics. With this dual identity, he can mobilize all resources of the entire Liaoning Province for local construction. The Liaodong region is endowed with unique mineral resources such as steel, coal, and transportation. Coal is mainly found in the largest open-pit coal mine in Fushun, which is convenient for mechanized mining. A large number of industrial facilities are inseparable from coal, but it is the fastest here. Next to it, the newly built railway is transported to various places as needed, and the coal industry in Jinzhou is also?Yes. A large-scale thermal power plant was also built in Fushun to provide electricity to many places in Liaodong. They also combined it with the power from the Changbaishan Hydropower Station in Jilin Province to form the first large-scale power supply network in Northeast China. With the support of electricity, other industries have been greatly facilitated. More companies have come here to develop. Even some foreign companies have come here to invest. Among them, there are many Jews with high business acumen. Why do Rothschild come here? The family will come to the Chinese Empire because some of their tribesmen here gave them the news and they came to the Chinese Empire. . Steel was transported to Anshan and some Korean ores were shipped for processing. It became the largest steel complex in the Chinese Empire. A large heavy machinery factory was established in Shenyang. Numerous domestic machines and equipment were produced here and shipped to all parts of the country, including the military port of Lushun. I also get a lot of support here. The transportation here is very convenient. Starting from Shenyang, there is the Shenyang-Harbin Railway to the north, the Shenyang-Lv (Shun) Railway to the south, and the railway from Shenyang to Shanhaiguan entering the pass. There is also a road appearing next to the railway. Affected by them, our heavy-duty vehicle manufacturing plant appeared in Shenyang, and the commissioning of the automobile plant prompted many people to invest and build many auto parts factories here. The cars produced in Shenyang were named "Victory", which means that they are in opposition to Russia. It was established after the victory of the army. At the same time, Tang Jieshu also took over the manufacturing and production rights of the aircraft. The industrial foundation here is relatively better, so they put the construction of the heavy vehicle factory in Shenyang without any competition. Text Chapter 536 Professional matters are solved professionally Chapter 536: Professional matters are solved professionally Chapter 536: Professional matters are solved professionally It turns out that Li Zhenhua did not plan to develop Panjin Oilfield now, but due to the investment of Shenyang Automobile Factory, the demand for refined oil here has greatly increased, so he had no choice but to let it go. An exploration team in Pan County and Dawa County discovered that there are rich oil resources underground here without much trouble. The workers of the exploration team said how did the emperor know that there would be oil below here? People just hit it. An exploratory well discovered that the bottom here is full of oil. They don¡¯t know that the land in Dongying was first requested by the emperor and then oil was mined. The ¡°Black Oil Mountain¡± in Karamay in Xinjiang was also mentioned by the emperor first and now a large oil field has been discovered here. How many secrets does the emperor have in his heart? Others don't know it, but as the chief executive of Liaoning Province, Tang Jieshu, he knows it, which strengthens his belief in continuing to work hard for this country. Of course, Li Zhenhua is also the most satisfied with his work, because only Tang Jieshu has made such a big impact in Northeast China. a heavy industrial base. Li Zhenhua also thought that if he were to manage the industrial construction of the entire empire, he would definitely be much better than Zhang Zhidong. It is obviously inappropriate to bring it up now. Wait until the war against the Russian army is over. Some high-level leaders will also need to make appropriate adjustments. Li Zhenhua was looking at the map of Northeast China on the wall again. Tang Jieshu knew what Li Zhenhua was thinking now. He was looking at it from an economic perspective. He knew that the emperor was going to launch a large-scale campaign in the Vladivostok area without a fast logistics supply channel. There is no railway to Vladivostok. Recently, a railway was built from Changchun in Jilin to the east. Now it is considered a war, and it will be a major artery for economic construction in the future. Without the support of the railway, it is impossible to provide support from Sakhalin Island. It is simply not appropriate to seek the distance from the near. That means that I have to consider building a railway from Changchun, Jilin to Yanbian for the emperor. If there is no such a railway, what is the emperor's overall plan? It couldn't be realized perfectly, so Tang Jieshu pointed at the map and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I want to build a railway here to facilitate our connection with the eastern region." Li Zhenhua laughed when he heard Tang Jieshu's words. He smiled at Tang Jieshu and said: "You know me It¡¯s Governor Tang.¡± Li Zhenhua turned back to the coffee table and said, ¡°Let¡¯s sit down and talk.¡± ¡°Actually, I guessed what the emperor was thinking.¡± Tang Jieshu took a sip of tea and said, ¡°This is the moment. The military use is greater than the civilian use, but after the war, the civilian use is greater than the military." Li Zhenhua smiled and encouraged him, and Tang Jieshu was not polite and continued: "If our front line starts to fight, Liaoning Province will be the first line to support the front line. Anyone can see that if there is no convenient and fast railway, cars must be the mainstay. If we want to support the front line on this long road, I estimate that we will need 3,000 cars, which cannot meet the military needs. If there is a railway, it will be much more convenient for us." Tang Jieshu gestured with water on the table: "Now that we have built the railway to Dunhua, there is not much we can do to build it with the convenient conditions in the Northeast. This railway won¡¯t take long at all.¡± Li Zhenhua nodded with a smile and Tang Jieshu pointed at Mudanjiang on the back and said, ¡°It would be a good idea to approach Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi from the north, but it would be better to go from here. It will take longer to build the railway." "Why?" "Relatively speaking, the climate here is stronger than that over there, but if it snows, construction will be impossible." "That's right. It makes sense." Li Zhenhua was pondering which way to go. To be honest, Li Zhenhua himself had no idea. He needed professionals to answer this question. He couldn't just speak blindly. Although Li Zhenhua did not regard imperial power as too important as people said. The emperor has a "golden tongue" and "you have no joke", but as a senior leader, he cannot talk casually. Sometimes the impact is very bad. So Li Zhenhua called Cai E over and said to him: "You should go to Beijing specifically to find someone from the railway industry to consult with us about one of the two railways we plan to build in one year to see which one is more suitable. " Cai E carefully looked at the situation of the two railways and had a clear understanding in his heart. Then he said goodbye to Li Zhenhua and Tang Jieshu and went out. This matter cannot be telegraphed and can only be discussed and studied face to face or demonstrated. It cannot be decided in one or two sentences. The railway needs to conduct demonstrations based on actual conditions to find a suitable route. Li Zhenhua proposed to go to the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant and the Automobile Factory to have a look. Tang Jieshu happily agreed. The next day they went to the Heavy Machinery Factory in plain clothes. A few warningsThe crew followed a total of two cars, and soon they arrived at the heavy machine factory. This heavy machine factory is the mother machine of some small machines. Only their large equipment can manufacture some small machines and equipment. The earliest steelmaking in my country was in 1890 when the "Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Administration" established a 3-ton and a 15-ton acid open-hearth furnace, which were the earliest steel-making open-hearth furnaces in China. They first came to the steel-making workshop of the heavy machine factory. In the huge steel-making workshop, an open-hearth furnace was tapping steel. Workers in white canvas overalls were working nervously. The door of the open-hearth furnace opened and molten steel rushed out of the furnace. It flowed into the molten steel ladle below. After the molten steel came out, the huge overhead crane lifted the ladle to the steel mold on one side. The person driving the overhead crane was a girl. She accurately lifted the molten steel ladle in front of the ingot mold. The outlet below the molten steel ladle is opened and the molten steel enters the model smoothly. The entire work sequence is in order. Everyone performs their tasks accurately, and several ladles move in order without any confusion. The noise in the workshop was so loud that it was hard for them to say anything. After they came out, Tang Jieshu said to Li Zhenhua: "It used to be that we only had an open-hearth furnace with a maximum capacity of fifteen tons. Now it is already thirty tons, especially since we have output from Pan County and Dawa County." After the introduction of petroleum, the supply of heavy oil and ballast oil was sufficient, and the fuel supply for the open-hearth furnace was very sufficient, and the output of steel also increased a lot. " Text Chapter 537 ¡°Big steel making¡± Chapter 537 "Big Steel Making" The steel output of the entire empire has increased from a few thousand tons when the empire was established to now reaching tens of millions of tons. In addition to Britain, France, the United States, and Germany, it is ranked first in the world except for Britain, France, the United States, and Germany. The top five, but this is far from enough. The two major categories of military industry and railways alone are far more than this number. The entire empire must now increase investment and strive to reach a peak during the First World War to surpass other established empires. Become the boss of the world. Now the amount of used steel purchased and imported from abroad has reached 5 million tons. In addition, a large amount of iron ore is imported from Annan, North Korea and other places every year. The biggest bottleneck now is the steelmaking process. Although it has been imported from Germany The UK has imported some equipment, but the main thing is to use its own production equipment, not just rely on imports, but to be able to produce as much as possible. Now Shenyang Heavy Industry has begun to build its own open-hearth furnaces. Some steel plants in Tangshan and Wuhan have already used their own production equipment. The results will be seen in a few years. The most eye-catching thing about the heavy machinery factory is a large-scale hydraulic press they developed independently. Some large-scale machinery and equipment have to use it to complete parts weighing several tons or more than ten tons. The workbench of the hydraulic press is like kneading. Like dough, the steel is made into regular shapes according to the design drawings. When this hydraulic press empire was built three years ago, the factory's technicians, workers, and even the emperor worked together for more than a year to build it. Therefore, some of the empire's large equipment was manufactured at high speeds like It would be much faster to roll some steel plates, which can be rolled for the deck steel of warships and the armor steel plates of tanks. Moreover, the strength of the steel plate is also much higher than the original strength. After visiting the heavy machine factory, they went to the automobile factory. The automobile factory was larger than the heavy machine factory. It was divided into various workshops, which was a large-scale factory. For example, the engine workshop and chassis workshop were one. The size of a large factory. Just a large warehouse covers an area of ??dozens of acres. Now there is no such "warehouse-less" assembly line operation method as in Japan in later generations. All accessories must be prepared in advance and nothing will be missing. Most of the managers here are The female workers are more attentive and prepared to fully prepare the accessories needed for a car, then send them to the assembly workshop and place them in the specified place according to the requirements of the flow operation, and then the people there perform the final installation. The gasoline engine used in the car is 90 horsepower, which was also developed by the Germans. Now it is installed on three types of vehicles: one is a four-ton truck, the other is a military medium-sized jeep, and the third is some small cars. However, they The fuel consumption is a lot, more than ten liters per 100 kilometers. However, the gasoline in this era is very cheap, only a few cents, and people don¡¯t think it can¡¯t afford it. If the oil price is the same as now, the car will not be sold. out. There is also a 150-horsepower diesel engine, which is installed on an eight-ton car. This kind of car is called a medium-sized car, but the speed is slower, only 50 kilometers per hour. There is no point in looking elsewhere. People usually come to visit to see the assembly workshop. Now every thirty minutes, a car comes off the assembly line. That is just the last few processes. When you see the car finally coming off the production line, you feel a sense of wonder. . This man's ability is so great. It's really not easy to assemble a bunch of machine parts together and it can move on its own. Soon, cars will leave the factory. Nowadays, there are many places that need cars. In addition to military use, there are also more and more civilian uses. First, some businessmen were using it for transportation, and then some factories also used cars. People will calculate that the current cost per ton-kilometer of automobile transportation is only 10 cents and only 20 cents. Although the cost of one person plus a cow or a horse is lower, the transportation capacity is much smaller at 100 kilometers. A car can make two trips a day, but an animal-drawn vehicle can only make one-half trip. Those shrewd and capable Shanxi businessmen made a good start and everyone followed suit. First, long-distance transportation by car began in plain areas such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Jinling, etc. Shanxi merchants transported silk, tea, lacquerware, etc. from Shanxi to Kyakhta. Therefore, the supply of new cars from automobile factories has always exceeded demand. Many people cannot buy cars with money, so they need to further expand production capacity in order to produce more cars. Correspondingly, it can be seen that the commercial economy of the empire has come to life. From Shanghai to Jinling, in addition to trains, there are also ships and cars. It cannot be ruled out that some animal-drawn vehicles are still carrying out their traditional transportation methods. Watching the workers skillfully perform operations, Li Zhenhua felt very pleased. He clearly knew the direction of the world situation in the future. After a war with Russia, there would be a ten-year period of peace. During these ten years, he?The country can recuperate and make preparations. By the time of World War I, it can make a huge war fortune like the original United States did. In one fell swoop, it will surpass the United Kingdom and become the leader in various fields such as industry, commerce, and finance. They will use their money to raise the Chinese people's lives to another level. Let your empire stand at the top of the world forever. But if you want to reach that step, you must first have a certain industrial foundation. Then you can sell them guns, ammunition, artillery, warships, submarines and some mineral resources. Then you will make a lot of money. At the same time, you can Encircle some land and come back, just like Russia in the future, there is a place to support more than a billion people, just like playing, take high-end products in your own hands, let other countries work for you, make a big profit, and let them make a small profit. Li Zhenhua originally wanted to have a conversation with the workers, but when he saw that the workers were busy, he gave up the idea and just looked around with Tang Jie before leaving the factory. One of the issues Li Zhenhua is considering now is which route to implement in the future. He is thinking about economic issues. One is the planned economy. First, is it a market economy or a dual-track system? It is good to have a planned economy when a country is first established. It is also necessary during wars. But in peacetime, it is better to have a market economy. ( Text Chapter 538 Let them worship the "foreign Bodhisattva" Chapter 538 Let them worship the "Foreign Bodhisattva" Chapter 538 Let them worship the "Foreign Bodhisattva" Now we can't say which method is good or bad. In the former Soviet Union, they also had a strong planned economic system. For a long time, the planned economy was implemented after the founding of New China. The people at that time welcomed it very much. Later, the market economy allowed people to eat "meat", but "Master Deng" was scolded a lot. But the most undesirable thing is " "Dual-track system" because this can make a small number of people "fat" and rich quickly. They took advantage of the loophole of this "dual-track system". Li Zhenhua has never thought about establishing a "dual-track system", which means that a small number of people cannot be "fat" first. However, the state-owned enterprises that account for the largest amount of national income must be restricted and cannot be allowed to engage in monopoly operations. Monopoly operations are not right. They are a direct threat to the country. Once they lose control, they will break away from the guidance of the government and do their own thing. Just like the "two barrels of oil" in later generations, they always adjust the price at a low level. They control the oil and limit the purchase, so that the queues of refueling cars will be long, but when the price rises They don't have a shortage of oil anymore. They can open up the supply and refuel at will. It's really not a joke. Li Zhenhua secretly laughed in his heart. Do I, the emperor, care too much? But these things must be taken care of. If anyone wants to harm the interests of the people, then I have to restrict him. If he can't, I will kill him with the power in my hands. Li Zhenhua also feels that he is a little bit. Addicted to murder. Tang Jieshu also talked with Li Zhenhua about the issue of the original Russian prisoners of war. Up to now, all the senior generals and colonel officers of the Russian prisoners of war have left. Below are some ordinary soldiers and low-level officers. Most of them have adapted to the life of our Chinese Empire. If they are not willing to leave, they want to stay here for a long time, that is, they are willing to become our citizens and have the nationality of our Chinese Empire. Li Zhenhua immediately said: "This is a good thing and there is nothing wrong with it." Tang Jieshu said: "I am a little worried that if there are too many of them, they will cause us some unnecessary trouble." "Governor Tang, are you worried about this issue? There is absolutely no need. If our country continues to develop like this, we will have more immigrants. You can also see that we need them now, especially some skilled and managerial talents. The only question now is if we can be strong in the long term. Those people who can rise and develop rapidly will not betray us because they are afraid that we will fail in the future. If we cannot treat them equally and discriminate or bully them, they will not be of the same mind as us. No matter how good the treatment here is, they will Go back." Tang Jieshu nodded: "The thing is, as long as we can continue to be strong and care for them, we will not change our minds." "What is their situation now?" Li Zhenhua asked. "Their current situation is very good. Some of them have even become cadres at the level of workshop directors. They have excellent organizational skills and technical skills. They treat our people equally as well as theirs, and the workers can accept them." "That's good. For these people, we should praise those who can be promoted and promote them. We should truly regard them as our own people. That's fine. Of course, we must not deal with those who are not of the same mind as us. We must deal with them strictly." "Now there are no more naughty and troublesome workers, and the remaining ones are all workers who are dedicated to working hard." "Then we must treat them equally and not treat them badly." "It's just that now we are. Some cadres still feel a little alienated from them. " "It's not like we don't trust them when they work hard for us. Aren't you trying to make them oppose us? These people are really stupid. If there is such a person, then take him down and let him work under those Russians. " "Old Tang, you should hold a meeting to criticize those people and at the same time praise those Russians in a big way and give them. With more honors and certain benefits, the salary must not be lower than that of people with the same job. Just say that the two meetings I said will be held together, so the effect will be better. " "In addition, it is almost the Chinese New Year to organize some cadres to go to those people. Go and visit the people's homes to see if they have any difficulties, whether they have marital problems or housing problems. You leaders must be concerned about those who haven't been home for a few years. You can arrange vacations for them and let them go back to see them. You can pay for the travel expenses. I don¡¯t have much money. They will work harder when they come back. They may also bring you more workers.¡± Tang Jieshu smiled: ¡°Your Majesty, you are very considerate. I will make arrangements to see what they have. "I didn't pay special attention to their marriage, housing, life and other issues." After the two walked for a while, Li Zhenhua suddenly asked: "Old Tang and these Russians."How many of our workers have married Han girls from our empire? " "This is really not much. Anyway, I don't know much. " "Russians like dancing and singing. When you have time in the future, you can organize workers to have a party with them. Encourage more girls from our empire to participate. If there are girls willing to marry Russians, you can organize the leaders in the factory. I would like to express my support for this matter. " "Also, I remembered that they don't believe in any of our Bodhisattvas and gods. They believe in their own Lord. They seem to believe in some Orthodox religion. If they need it, we can consider building a church for them so that they can worship them when they are free. The foreign Bodhisattva is also good. " "Isn't this bad, Your Majesty? "What's wrong? They will be closer to us in the future. It's just a family. Whoever wants to believe can believe whatever they want. But I believe that people will forget all this in a few years." Tang Jieshu and Li Zhenhua laughed together. Tang Jieshu said: "Even if the common people believe in Bodhisattvas, we can't control them. We don't have to control whether they want to believe in their own foreign Bodhisattvas. But the emperor has a lot of common people, but it¡¯s you who are offering sacrifices.¡± ¡°That¡¯s okay. "Li Zhenhua said it casually, but he immediately felt that something was wrong and immediately said: "This matter cannot be promoted. It does no good. " Tang Jieshu disagreed with Li Zhenhua's view: "Your Majesty, I don't think there is anything wrong if the people respect and love the Emperor with all their hearts. This is what the people want. Li Zhenhua immediately remembered the word "cult of personality." During the Cultural Revolution, China had the Soviet Union. After the Patriotic War, Stalin also engaged in this trick. Later, Khrushchev made Stalin nothing. Li Zhenhua was afraid that in the future People do this too, so he said: "No matter what, we will not advocate any personality cult in the future. No matter who he is, he is an ordinary person. His achievements are the result of everyone's joint efforts. No one person can achieve anything. " Text Chapter 539 Yan Fu After staying in Shenyang for a while, Li Zhenhua took a special train south to Lushun. He wanted to see the "aircraft carrier" he presided over the construction of. The special train has been transferred back from Mongolia, so it is better to take the special train. It is snowing in the sky. Tang Jieshu sends Li Zhenhua to get on the special train. Li Zhenhua tells Tang Jieshu to pay attention to his health and then sets off from Shenyang. The scenery on the road is only white. Because there are people on the train, The heater didn't make anyone feel cold. Li Zhenhua was just sleeping in the car. He remembered the last time he came to Lushun because Li Juou complained to Li Hongzhang that her husband, Zhang Peilun and Wei Han, were working at risk and asked his father to persuade him. In the end, Li Zhenhua himself came here, and that time Li Zhenhua also brought his two children. Xiao Weiguo and Xiao Jianguo had never been so far away (they didn't run away when they were children, but they just don't remember). I am very happy to finally have the opportunity to stay with my father for a few days. On the train, Li Zhenhua did have his own family happiness with the children. The two children stayed by his side honestly. They listened to their father telling them various stories. Even when they slept, they were in Li Zhenhua's arms. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh. He moved his body slightly, as if he was afraid of suppressing his two children. By the afternoon, the train had arrived in Lushun. Only two senior officials and chief designer Wei Han were there to greet the emperor and his entourage. and Zhang Peilun, the general manager of the shipyard, their own secretaries had already informed them that they had known Li Zhenhua's temper for a long time. It was useless to have so many people come to greet him and it would only delay the work of the people below. The car was already parked on the platform. The three people got into a car and exchanged a few polite words together. Then Li Zhenhua asked about the situation of the aircraft carrier. Wei Han said: "Your Majesty, you came just right this time. Our aircraft carrier is just right." After the outfitting is completed, you coming to participate in this ceremony will be a great encouragement to our work." Li Zhenhua immediately said: "You are working very quickly. The outfitting is completed and the sea trial will begin soon. Who is coming from the navy? "Of course it's Commander Deng and Captain Sa Zhenbing. Even President Yan Fu of the Tianjin Naval Academy is here. If the three of them hadn't gone to sea today, they would have come to pick you up." "Yes, then we'll go directly." Let's go to the shipyard. I really want to see our first aircraft carrier." The car ran directly to the shipyard. Even far away from the dock, I could already see the huge ship among all the buildings on the coast. It is the largest, even in the eyes of modern people, it is also the largest. On the highest point of the tall ship island is a dragon flag fluttering in the wind. Its huge hull of more than 210 meters long and 27 meters wide has appeared in people's sight. The entire ship has been painted. It became silver gray, which will be the standard color of our future battleships. From a distance, some navy soldiers were busy on the aircraft carrier. Although the snow was still falling, it did not affect their work at all. When they arrived, the guardsmen guarding the warship hurriedly saluted Li Zhenhua and others. They had already recognized that this was their emperor. A battalion commander suppressed the excitement in his heart and reported to Li Zhenhua: "Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the Marine Corps of the Imperial China." The Third Battalion of the First Regiment of the Division is on guard duty, please give instructions from your Majesty. "Li Zhenhua returned the greeting and shook hands with him cordially and said: "Thank you, comrades, please continue on duty." "Yes" Sha Haifeng stepped aside and stretched out his hand to invite the emperor to board the ship. The surface of the steps for boarding the warship is made of steel mesh. Even if it snows, there won't be many people's feet falling on it. Once you step on it, there won't be much snow. The warship is not slippery, but Li Zhenhua turned around and supported his age. Next to the eldest Wei Han, a guard had already supported Zhang Peilun and several others and walked towards the heights of the warship. They got on the aviation deck of the warship. The report of the Marines just now had been heard by the naval officers and soldiers working above. Stepping onto the deck, a naval officer came over and saluted: "I am reporting that the officers and men of His Majesty's Air Defense Squadron are conducting weapons inspections. Please give your Majesty's instructions." "Thank you for your hard work, comrades. Please continue to work." At this time, I heard the sound of car braking below the warship, and then The sound of someone quickly winding up the ladder was soon heard. Deng Shichang and Sa Zhenbing were already standing in front of Li Zhenhua. They saluted Li Zhenhua excitedly. Li Zhenhua took their hands cordially and said, "Didn't you go to sea? Why are you rushing back?" ?". "Were we not happy when we heard that the emperor was here? We ran back as soon as the matter was over." A few people were talking and someone came after them: "Report to His Majesty the Emperor, Yan Fu, the president of the Tianjin Naval Academy, to see the emperor." One The thin middle-aged man stood in front of Li Zhenhua and looked at him as if he was a little weakBut his eyes were flashing with shrewd eyes. Li Zhenhua finally saw his naval educator Yan Fu. This famous educator in modern China has trained a large number of talents for the Chinese navy. Even this person around him Sa Zhenbing was also one of his instructors when he was the chief instructor (later the general office) of Tianjin Beiyang Naval Academy. Li Zhenhua hurriedly raised his hand in return, then stepped forward and held Yan Fu's hand tightly. Li Zhenhua said to Yan Fu said: "Mr. Dao, I have admired you for a long time. You have trained several generations of naval talents for our Chinese Empire. You have made the greatest contribution to the Chinese Empire's navy." Yan Fu did not expect that the emperor would treat him like this. After years of commenting on this, he couldn't believe it was true. He spoke in his thick Fujian Mandarin and said: "The emperor praised Yan Fu for only doing what he should do." Zhang Peilun said with a smile: "A few words There¡¯s no need to be polite, brother, you¡¯ve got a lot of people in the navy now.¡± Several people laughed after hearing this. Yan Fu also laughed. The nervousness he felt when meeting the emperor for the first time was gone. He said that the emperor was approachable and approachable. This seemed to be true. Yan Fu was once the most outstanding student in his class at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, England. However, after returning to China, everyone else was on warships. Only he went to the Beiyang Naval Academy in Tianjin and became the chief instructor. This was not for him. He was not the most satisfied because he was going to join a battleship after completing his studies, but he became the chief instructor of the Beiyang Navy Naval Academy under Li Hongzhang, which made him very dissatisfied. Text Chapter 540 Yan Fu¡¯s ¡°Cannon and Giant Ship¡± Complex Chapter 540 Yan Fu¡¯s ¡°Big Gun and Ship¡± Complex Chapter 540 Yan Fu¡¯s ¡°Big Gun and Ship¡± Complex After the First Sino-Japanese War, many officers and soldiers whom he had trained with twenty years of hard work suffered a lot in this battle, which made him even more discouraged. But after the founding of the Chinese Empire, the emperor asked him to continue to serve as the principal of the navy. Although this was different from before, he was still a little dissatisfied, but he could not do any other work. But after a few years, he found that his job was A big change. For example, it turned out that he once said in a letter to his brother that he had no ambition in the Beiyang Naval Academy. No matter what he did, someone would have to restrain him. However, his brother told him that Li Zhongtang, a big tree, must be relied on to at least guarantee himself. There are some things that can be done properly in order to survive without worry (under the hood). Sure enough, things will get better in the future. However, Yan Fu is disgusted with these things and he doesn't often follow Li Hongzhang's path. But after the founding of the Chinese Empire, all this will undergo huge changes. First of all, he can make his own decisions about what he wants. For work matters, he can do it as needed. The people above him are his junior brother Deng Shichang and his former subordinates. Both Sa Zhenbing and Sa Zhenbing were very kind to him, which made work much smoother. ¡°Then there is Yan Fu who believes in Darwin¡¯s theory of evolution and Spencer¡¯s vulgar theory of evolution. This is the theoretical basis of his political thought and also the theoretical basis of his educational thought. Yan Fu proposed in "Yuan Qiang" that the survival of a country is determined by three basic conditions: "The first is the strength of blood and gas, the second is the strength of intelligence and wisdom, and the third is the strength of virtue, righteousness and benevolence." He imagined that through the bourgeoisie, Education in three aspects: physical, intellectual and moral enhances national prestige. "Therefore, today's government must be unified in three aspects: one is to encourage people's power, the other is to open up people's wisdom, and the third is new people's virtues." The so-called "people's power" means that the people of the country must have a healthy body, and opium and the bad habit of foot binding must be banned. The so-called "opening up people's wisdom" is mainly based on Western learning. The so-called new democratic virtues that replaced the imperial examination mainly focused on abolishing rule, implementing a constitutional monarchy, and advocating "respect for the people." Thinking about it carefully, he found that his thoughts and a series of practices of the emperor had a lot in common. Although the words were different, the specifics were the same. In other words, the emperor's ruling route was much better than hasty ideas. As I often say, "encouraging people's power to open up people's wisdom and new people's virtues." Aren't a series of new policies in the Chinese Empire going on? There is also the saying of "respecting the people" and among the current people, which dynasty and generation are as good as now? Therefore, Yan Fu also began to admire the young emperor, so he also wanted to see the emperor and ask him for advice to solve some of his ideological confusions. He didn¡¯t expect that the emperor would give him a very high evaluation after meeting him, which naturally made him feel a lot closer to the emperor. However, he did not agree with the aircraft carrier built by the emperor. In his heart, he still yearned for the huge ships and cannons of the British Navy. It was simply unbelievable to use that small aircraft to deal with the huge battleships. But Deng Shichang and Sa Zhenbing told him about the drill, but he was still dubious. The British's huge battleship is not known to others, but he knows it very well. The diameter of the cannon is several hundred millimeters thick, but nothing can stop it. Their deck thickness of more than 500 millimeters requires more than 300 armor-piercing shells to hit it. Dressed. But how can it be so easy to hit? Li Zhenhua knew from the conversations of several people that they would conduct the first sailing test in three days, so everyone returned to the hotel in the shipyard. Since people from outside often come in and their grades are not low, most of them are technicians and technicians. Therefore, Zhang Peilun, a senior official, built this hotel outside the factory to entertain people from other places. Navy personnel also came often, so the hotel was fully utilized. In the evening, Zhang Peilun and Wei Han, as landlords, entertained the emperor and the navy together. There were only about ten people in a small, elegant room. Li Zhenhua, Zhang Peilun, Wei Han, Deng Shichang, Sa Zhenbing and others were all familiar faces. But soon someone else came, the deputy captain of the aircraft carrier Yang Yi, Gao Xiang of the aviation force, and his two officers Qiao Feihong and Sun Fuqiang. As soon as the four people entered the door, they hurriedly saluted the leaders. Gao Xiang was the first pilot of the Imperial Air Force. Li Zhenhua did not recognize the other three. Gao Xiang introduced the emperor. Li Zhenhua was very happy to see that they were all officers on the aircraft carrier. If the aircraft carrier is an Zhang Gong, then these three air force soldiers were the arrows shot out. This is the youngest branch of the empire, but it has now been divided into two parts, namely the air force and the naval aviation. Today they knew that the emperor was coming, and they all wanted to meet the emperor. Since several of them were relatively young, they sat down at the bottom and Li Zhenhua sat down directly opposite. In fact, these three people have all met the emperor. They were the first batch of air force soldiers to attack the Russian army on the Northeast Front. They were all veterans of Gao Xiang's command.The training time has exceeded 500 hours. Li Zhenhua asked: "You all trained on our aircraft carrier, right? How do you feel after the training?" "Your Majesty." Gao Xiang replied: "They are all veterans who have been on the warship and can take off and land at will, no matter the wind and waves. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s bigger.¡± ¡°How do you feel about the new bomber?¡± ¡°It¡¯s much easier to use. Previously, we could only release bombs by hand. Now we can control the button to release bombs automatically. Being too small will not allow us to perform better. " "Don't worry, we will have new aircraft soon. Then you will have a place to use them. " "That's great." The officer said happily. "In the future, the aircraft on our aircraft carrier will be divided into more detailed categories. There are bombers used to attack the enemy, air defense fighters to protect ourselves, and reconnaissance aircraft to find the enemy." Many people don't know that there are also aircraft carriers. With such a detailed division of labor, even Yan Fu only knew that if his air force faced off against British battleships, it would only scratch someone's itch. What effect do such small bombs have on battleships? ¡°He didn¡¯t know that Li Zhenhua still had sharp weapons behind the enemy¡¯s battleships. (To be continued.

Text Chapter 542 Naming the warship Chapter 542 Naming the Warship The officers on the aircraft carrier led Li Zhenhua and the senior officers to visit each other. Zhang Peilun and Wei Han stopped going because they were old. It's too inconvenient to climb up and down. Besides, they have already seen all the structures on the aircraft carrier. At this time, the captain Yang Yi suggested that the emperor name this aircraft carrier. Everyone on the ship looked at Li Zhenhua happily. Li Zhenhua thought for a while and said: "This aircraft carrier was built in Lushun. I think it should be called Lushun." But I think the name Lushun is not loud enough. I heard that there is a Dalian Bay nearby. Can we call this place Dalian in the future and also call this first aircraft carrier Dalian? " Wei Han immediately said: "Yes. "Dalian is louder than Lushun. I agree with the emperor's statement." Zhang Peilun expressed a different opinion: "Your Majesty, not only does this aircraft carrier need to be named, but the three cruisers also need to be named, so please give it to the Emperor." Let¡¯s name it.¡± Li Zhenhua thought about it. The three cruisers can¡¯t be named after the same level. Then let the three cruisers be named after the regional level. And this aircraft carrier? Then let it be named after the municipality. Now the municipality is already Now that we have Beijing, Shanghai, Dongying and Fangcheng, let's call it Beijing first. So Li Zhenhua said: "Okay, let's name this aircraft carrier Beijing and the training aircraft carrier "Shanghai" first. The three cruisers are named Dalian, Tangshan, and Cangzhou. We don¡¯t need place names. We just use numbers to arrange the remaining frigates No. 01 and No. 02. We use No. 201 and No. 202. For the submarines, we use No. 501 and No. 502. It is easier to record and distinguish." Deng Shichang immediately said: "It is best to distinguish it easily." Several naval generals agreed and other civilian officials had nothing to say. The name is just for the convenience of distinction. Now it is easier to distinguish it than giving a name. However, hostile countries walking on the ocean have no way to distinguish them. They can only say that there is a large or medium-sized warship. They can distinguish the specific one. Not clear. In the evening, when the aircraft carrier returned to the military port, Yang Yi issued another order that no one should reveal the speed of the aircraft carrier. The report only said that it reached twenty-seven knots. Deng Shichang and Sa Zhenbing looked at each other. They knew that Li Yi's painstaking efforts to hide his strength from the outside had no harm. Although there is no problem in terms of speed, there are still some dissatisfaction points that need to be modified to make it the best. The problem now is the aircraft. Feng Ru said to the emperor: "Now our aircraft are still not satisfactory. One is the speed problem and the other is their load capacity. The improved twin-engine bomber's current load capacity is only 800 kilograms. The engine The power still needs to be expanded to meet our requirements. " Li Zhenhua agreed with him and asked them to continue research and try to solve the problem as soon as possible. But Li Zhenhua was very clear that the next step of engine research would take a long time. But we have plenty of time. There are still ten years left before the First World War. We are not afraid that we will not be able to develop it by then. Now we have to consider the entire fleet of aircraft carriers. The three 7,000-ton cruisers built in Fangcheng, Mawei and Shanghai can now come to the north. First, the first one will depart from Fangcheng and arrive at Mawei to rendezvous with the second one. Then it will arrive in Shanghai with The third ship will rendezvous and arrive at Weihai together. The two frigates and two destroyers produced in Tianjin can also be concentrated in Weihai. In addition, it should also be equipped with three to four submarines. This first aircraft carrier battle group was established in this way, but the problem now is that their attack power is not enough to kill the battleships easily. You must know that the most advantageous weapon against warships is torpedoes. Their huge charge can send battleships into the sea at once. However, the 100 kilogram aerial bombs on airplanes are still less capable, so we must speed up the process. Just the equipment. As soon as Li Zhenhua got off the warship, someone came to report that the Second Madam was here. Li Zhenhua knew that they were talking about Wang Xin's arrival. He told several people and hurried back to the hotel in the shipyard. He knew that Wang Xin would not come here to look for him if something had not happened. As soon as his two children entered the door, Li Zhenhua hurriedly picked up the two brothers and kissed them on their faces. At this time, Wang Xin had also come out from the inner room to greet them. Wang Xin first asked: "Are you tired after spending a day on the sea? Wash your face first and the meal will be ready. Today I went to the kitchen to order the meal. The flavor here is different from that at home, and the ingredients are also different. I had to Just make do with it and let them do it. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t like it, so I¡¯ll make do with it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I travel a lot, so I don¡¯t know what to eat. I¡¯m just afraid it won¡¯t suit your taste, right?¡± " "IThe same can be done. " "You are from the south. I think you won't be able to adapt to the northeastern region. " "It's nothing. I just can't smell the sauerkraut in the kitchen, but the food tastes good. " "Haha, typical stinky tofu theory. " "Dad, what did you say? I do not understand. Jianguo interrupted and asked. "The stinky tofu theory means that it smells bad but tastes good." " "Dad, I just like to eat stinky tofu, it's so delicious. "Wang Xin laughed and the two of them were talking about how the waiter had brought all the food over. The family was eating slowly. Wang Xin talked to Li Zhenhua about the purpose of his visit. It turns out that Wang Xin recently received an appointment from the American Embassy in China. An invitation letter from the embassy. The city of St. Louis in the United States will hold a world "exposition" next year, July 1, 1904, inviting the Chinese Empire to participate. At the same time, they will also host the Third Olympic Games, and also invite the Chinese Empire to send Athletes participated. Li Zhenhua, who was eating, stopped the chopsticks in his hand: "What? Can you say that again. "Wang Xin had no choice but to despise Li Zhenhua a little and said it again about the "Exposition" and "Olympic Games" he just mentioned. Li Zhenhua listened to Wang Xin's introduction attentively and said: "Okay, these two things. We all need to participate. This is a good thing to increase the popularity of our Chinese Empire. Text Chapter 541 Crazy Test Pilot Chapter 541 Crazy Test Pilot Chapter 541 Crazy Test Pilot The dinner was quickly finished. Several older people went back, but several young people got together with the emperor and stayed with the old people. They said less. There are too many, but when people are with the emperor, they are not restrained at all, so there are too many questions to ask. Even listening to the emperor's words is very insightful. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Aircraft that others don¡¯t know about can also be divided into fighters, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft, are there also other aircraft? If there is something in your heart that you can't let go of, you must ask the emperor. Several people came to the place where the emperor lived. When they saw that the emperor had not rested yet, several people came in. At first, they were a little embarrassed, fearing that they had delayed the emperor's rest, but soon they all forgot about disturbing the emperor. The guards brought tea to several guests and then sat and listened to the emperor's talk about the aircraft carrier. Li Zhenhua knew that Gao Xiang was no longer on the aircraft carrier. His deputy captain position had been replaced by Yang Yi, and the other two Young officers Qiao Feihong and Sun Fuqiang are the flight captains of the carrier-based aircraft. Li Zhenhua will start with the aircraft carrier formation. From now on, the mission of warships will be based on aircraft carriers. For example, if you want an aircraft carrier to destroy an enemy ship formation, you must send out an aircraft carrier formation. This formation must have one or two ships. An aircraft carrier is the main one, but the aircraft carrier itself has little combat effectiveness. Its combat effectiveness is the aircraft it can carry, and it must be protected by its own fleet. If you want to protect this aircraft carrier, you must have cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. and submarines. Use such a formation to protect the aircraft carrier from enemy warships' cannon, aircraft, torpedoes, and submarines. If one's own formation is attacked by the enemy, the cruiser will deal with the other party's large warships and aircraft. The air defense fighters carried by it will mainly attack the enemy's aircraft and warships. On the one hand, the destroyers on one's side will carry out air defense. On the other hand, they must also guard against the enemy's submarine launches. sh torpedoes and submarines mainly protect aircraft carriers underwater. If you want to attack the enemy, you need to send bombers from your own aircraft carrier to bomb the enemy's warships, and at the same time send escort aircraft to protect your own aircraft, while leaving a certain number of aircraft to protect your aircraft carrier. It can be said that the tactics are more complicated than the original artillery bombardment, but relatively speaking, it means destroying all the enemies while protecting yourself. Now my young air force has already had the experience of participating in combat, or they have been tested by war, but they are still far behind because the original battle can only be a unilateral attack on the enemy, and the enemy does not have aircraft. The machine guns in the area are a threat to ourselves. Real air combat only appeared during World War I. If an aircraft has to use its own weapons to fight the opponent in the air, it must use aviation machine guns and cannons to kill the opponent to truly protect itself. Gao Xiang said to Li Zhenhua: "We have notified the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory about the trial flight. I guess they will also want to come and let them take a look at the condition of our aircraft." Li Zhenhua replied: "Okay, let them take a look at our aircraft." How the produced aircraft carried out air combat gave them a certain sense of reality." On the evening of the third day, someone came to the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. The person who came was actually the youngest designer Feng Ru and he came with him. There were two heavy trucks pulling several big boxes. Feng Ru said they were two new twin-engine aircraft. Li Zhenhua said in his heart that they are really fast. They didn't have a month's timetable and they actually built a twin-engine aircraft. The mechanics accompanying the aircraft immediately began assembling the aircraft to let the Air Force take a look at their aircraft during a test flight tomorrow. Knowing that there would be a trial sea trial today, all the people participating in the sea trial got up early. At eight o'clock sharp, the aircraft carrier blew a long whistle and the warship slowly left the dock and sailed towards the distance. Others were fine, but the most nervous ones at this time were Wei Han and Zhang Peilun looked at the two of them and sat quietly in the navigation control tower as if they were his newborn children. Captain Yang Yi stood in the captain's position and calmly issued a series of orders. Yang Yi has been following Sa Zhenbing as the captain of the training ship for three years. Today is the first time he has performed the duties of a captain, but he is already familiar with it. He clearly issues orders in Chinese. This is different from before. The orders issued by the Beiyang Navy were all in English, but now they are all in Chinese. First, the speed was tested, and it quickly reached the designed twenty-seven knots. However, it had not yet fully exerted itself. Yang Yi issued the command to "advance at full speed" and once again increased the horsepower. The huge wind blew the flag on the ship. People's clothes were clinging tightly to their bodies.The needle on the meter already pointed to thirty knots. Standing aside, Wei Han laughed. The designers were most gratified to have met and exceeded the design goals. The original aircraft could take off without using wind power, but the new aircraft is larger than the original and now it has to glide 120 meters on the runway before it can fly. But if the wind factor is added, their distance can be shortened. Now even the twin-engine bomber can take off smoothly. Their take-off distance on land is 160 meters to 180 meters. Soon the two planes took off into the wind. Their take-off distance was just used. One hundred meters. The following is the take-off of the new bomber. The sound of the two engines was indeed extraordinary. The sound was obviously louder. The engine speed reached the highest speed. The pilot released the brakes of the aircraft. The aircraft began to glide forward and soon reached the speed of take-off. Pulling the CO joystick, the aircraft left the deck and flew high into the sky. The successful takeoff was only a distance of 140 meters away. The people in the command tower laughed happily, but they all knew that this was just taking off, the most important thing was watching the plane land. The fighter jets just made a few moves in the air and then came down. They wanted to give the bombers time to perform. Now I saw the two planes making a few dives. This is the most basic movement of the bombers. At first, they were just doing After a thirty-degree dive, the two pilots actually made an almost vertical dive. It was disturbing. I had never seen such a crazy flight show before. It scared people so much. In the end, they flew at an ultra-low altitude at a distance of 20 meters from the sea. The pilots also made several snaking movements to avoid fighter jets. Their series of performances shocked the aircraft carrier. Everyone on board had their hearts in their throats. It was so exciting. ! Text Chapter 543 Participating in the Two Sessions Chapter 543 Participation Wang Xin immediately said: "I don't know this yet? Use the opportunity they hold to organize the expo to promote our products. But what's the use of those sports games? Those things are useless and wasted money." For future generations Li Zhenhua is very aware of the overwhelming advertisements, but the current Chinese empire is still in the concept of "the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". Therefore, Li Zhenhua plans to take down some advertisements for the Olympic Games now. If he can sign a contract with them for how many years, The contract would be fine. But you can¡¯t just do commercials and endorsements and forget about your main business and squeeze out all your training just to shoot commercials. That¡¯s not going to work. Li Zhenhua briefly discussed the situation with Wang Xin and said that he wanted to carry out advertising and at the same time use the Olympic Games to promote our country's strength and put up his own commercial advertisements in their competition venues and stadiums. Although no one is talking about the problematic word "Sick Man of East Asia" now, it will not appear in the future. And Li Zhenhua knows that his current empire has many things that do not need to be compared. That is, we are the boss. For example, if Li Xiaohu is allowed to go out in shooting, he will definitely win the gold medal. Bring it back. On the day of swimming, the Mu family in Tianjin is very particular about swimming against the current of the North Canal. Snorkeling is faster than on the water. Like marathon running, our soldiers are faster than them in wrestling and boxing. Why don't you participate? If you take it back, With a lot of gold medals, the strength of the Chinese Empire is definitely out. Who dares to disapprove? Not only that, but he also wants to participate in the competition. Li Zhenhua will start to flirt on his own right away. If he also participates, he may also enter the finals in long-distance running, boxing, wrestling, and shooting. If he can get a few gold medals, that would be good. But Wang Xin immediately interrupted his YY thoughts and started discussing with him how to participate, what products to bring and how big the scale would be. When Li Zhenhua heard this, he hurriedly said: "Stop these things should be managed by the commercial and industrial departments. I don¡¯t need to participate too much.¡± Wang Xin said angrily and funny: ¡°That is a matter of the state, but shouldn¡¯t you participate in how our royal enterprise participates?¡± "You have always had the final say in our family's business management. When do you think I have taken care of it?" Wang Xin made Li Zhenhua laugh angrily. She couldn't help but said: "Otherwise we won't participate. "That won't work. We must participate in the wine, tobacco, medicine, etc. of our Chinese Empire, which must be bought by people from all over the world. We must take this opportunity to make a good profit. Okay, we'll go back to Beijing tomorrow to carefully finalize this matter and try to get it off the ground. "Although Li Zhenhua promised to go back soon, the requests of his two children forced him to stay. The children's request was very simple, that is, they asked their father to build a snowman for them. The children only had such a small request. Li Zhenhua immediately promised to help them build a big snowman tomorrow morning. After the children left, the couple was left in the bedroom, naturally having a lot of love. Although Li Zhenhua already had two friends but no woman. But Wang Xin was also like a wolf. After Li Zhenhua finished, he couldn't help but wonder what happened to Wang Xin now? How could he have such a strong need? Seeing Li Zhenhua's eyes, Wang Xin chuckled: "How come you can't do it too?" Where have I been now? Let me tell you, this is my first level. When I get back, those two resentful women might eat you? " Li Zhenhua made an exaggerated expression, but in his heart he was not afraid of dealing with girls of this era. He thought he could deal with them. But Wang Xin sneered and said: "No matter how good you are, you can't hide from us. It's not like before when three people took turns attacking the three of us. " This sentence made Li Zhenhua a little confused. Is there any change in this person? Seeing that Li Zhenhua still had the same face, Wang Xin felt sorry for her husband. He got out of bed and brought a small porcelain bottle to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua immediately understood this. It was a gift given to him by Taoist priests when he was in Sichuan. They said it was to strengthen his body. Li Zhenhua didn't take it to heart at the time, but he had noticed some changes in Jin Xifeng. But he was too anxious just now and didn't expect that Wang Xin also had it. Now that I look closely, Wang Xin has also changed in appearance and body shape. Ah Xin was originally a beauty, but because she was too busy with all her property and overused her brain, she was obviously better than the two. It was a bit worse, but today she looked different from before. Her skin looked white, tender, smooth, and even more mature and charming. This made his body react again. Wang Xin saw his reaction and said to him. "You must take the medicine quickly and you will be stronger than before." "What? Do you think I can't do it?" ?"No, don't they want you to be stronger? Otherwise, you can't deal with those two resentful women. If you can't do it, the sky in our family will fall." Li Zhenhua then laughed and Wang Xin used his little hand. She punched him twice and said, "Which woman doesn't want her husband to be stronger?" Li Zhenhua looked at the pill in Wang Xin's hand and saw that it gave off a faint medicinal fragrance that made people feel Feeling relaxed and happy. Although the temperature in the room was very high, it was already winter after all. Seeing Wang Xin standing there naked, the two of them just quarreled. She just stood like that. Li Zhenhua felt heartbroken and hurriedly pulled Wang Xin into his arms. Wang Xin struggled not to let the water spill out and brought the water and medicine to Li Zhenhua's mouth. To be honest, Li Zhenhua is very disgusted with these medicines. He has always adhered to the theory of "medicine is three parts poison". He has almost never taken medicine, but when he saw that Wang Xin had delivered the medicine from thousands of miles away, there was no trace of it on their bodies. What kind of adverse reaction coupled with Wang Xin's sincerity, Li Zhenhua had no choice but to pull the medicine over and take it without any hesitation. His move actually moved Wang Xin to tears. But Wang Xin knew that Li Zhenhua had never She had never taken medicine before, but she actually took it today at her own request. That was why she was moved. After taking the medicine, Li Zhenhua did not keep running to the bathroom like the three of them. He just felt that there seemed to be a general warm current flowing up and down in his chest and abdomen. He attributed this phenomenon to the reason that he never took medicine. Since there were no toxins in his body, there were no Wang Xin was also surprised by the fact that he had to go to the bathroom for drainage. She was not surprised yet, but Li Zhenhua pounced on him like a tiger. Wang Xin was afraid that if he took medicine, his three sisters would no longer be his opponents. Will the palace continue to expand? ? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on the mobile website. Your support is my biggest motivation. Text Chapter 544 Participating in the Two Sessions (2) Chapter 544 Participating in the Two Sessions (2) Chapter 544 Participating in 2) The emperor¡¯s special train was speeding on the railway line bound for Beijing. Li Zhenhua was still playing with his two children, but Wang Xin was lying on the bed to rest by himself. The medicine was indeed the history She couldn't stand Li Zhenhua's attacks again and again, and she was completely defeated. She begged Li Zhenhua for mercy again and again. Only then did Li Zhenhua let her go. Seeing Wang Xin like this, Li Zhenhua felt a little distressed, but he was saying this in his heart. But who did you find to make you dare to challenge my "husband's power"? When he returned to Beijing, Li Zhenhua naturally entered his role again. A lot of things were waiting for him. With the help of Jin Xifeng, he quickly finished all the things. He began to study the two invitation letters from the United States. Regarding the "Commodity Expo", let Wang Xin arrange these things. She can completely handle this Olympic Games. She has never participated in the Olympic Games. No one in the original empire watched it and they would not invite us. But it is different now. We The empire is a powerful country and we will not lag behind others in sports. In order to show the strong ability of our sports, we will send a strong delegation to participate and we will get a large number of gold medals. This is beyond doubt. But from now on, we have to start preparing. If we know something, we must notify them to prepare. If we don't know, we must conduct a nationwide selection. Anyway, we cannot fight without certainty. This is not our style. Nor is it a characteristic of the Chinese Empire. If you participate in the Olympic Games and don¡¯t win a few gold medals, it will be completely used as support for some countries, so you might as well not go. Soon the Imperial Administration issued two announcements: one is to call on some companies to use their excellent products to participate in the International Commodity Expo to be held in St. Louis, the United States, in July next year. A series of product names are listed at the back. The second is to require that in Recruiting outstanding sports talents nationwide and the names of some projects are also listed below. The above two tasks, the State Council clearly stated that these are political tasks, and governments at all levels must go all out to prepare and report the situation to the imperial government as soon as possible. These two announcements aroused a great response in the country. First of all, newspapers in various places publicly publicized it, and governments at all levels also posted announcements in some important places to solicit products for the expo and athletes to participate in the Olympic Games. Soon, a lot of applications were received from all over the country, and some sports players who thought they had skills also applied to the government. The Sichuan Provincial Government paid attention to the above requirements. Governor Sun Jingxuan immediately held a meeting of the provincial government. The governor personally arranged and arranged the cadres to conduct detailed supervision. After the meeting, they immediately took action and sent many cadres to the grassroots. Liu Xiaoshan from Youyang was the one who reacted the fastest. He immediately went to the pharmaceutical factory to ask them about any products they could get, and went to participate in the international expo. The pharmaceutical factory immediately took several drugs to their local parents. It was said that these drugs can have a great influence on the international market. In addition, he knew that there were several very famous wineries in his area. Although they were not as good as the "Wulianghuai" in Yibin, they were very good, so he asked the winery owner to specialize in producing his own good wine. Choose a good name "Youyang Chun". In addition, he also specially asked some people to provide clues to the people along the Wujiang River to introduce their local people with the best sofas to prepare to participate in the Olympic Games. Liaoning Province has also made great moves. They have prepared some products produced by local heavy industries to participate in international expositions. At the same time, workers in various factories also organized sports teams to participate in competitions. Among them were some Russians, Jews, etc. who had newly joined the Chinese Empire nationality. They immediately started training some of their sports such as boxing and running. Tianjin University organized a representative team to train in the Bei Canal in front of their house. This suddenly led to a good swimmer who grew up beside the Bei Canal. His name was Mu Xiongxiang. Others swam with the water, but he If you go upstream in the North Canal, you will naturally be on a different level than others. The Capital Guard Division in Beijing is also organizing personnel selections. Their specialty is weight-bearing cross-country. Their goal is to win the gold medal in the marathon. Li Xiaoshan has also returned from the Vladivostok front line. He is preparing to appear as a shooter. Every day, Li Zhenhua receives various materials from the following newspapers. All materials related to participating in the expo are handed over to a department specially organized by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry called the Expo Preparatory Group. Materials related to the Olympic Games are handed over to The Emperor also has an organization under him called the Sports Group, which will also be the National Sports Administration in the future. Soon the end of 1903 came. According to the traditional customs of the Chinese Empire, this Gregorian calendar year has no celebratory significance. However, since the Chinese Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar year, this Gregorian calendar year can also be regarded as a festival. It has to be a day during the New Year. s holiday. Li Zhenhua took into account the issues of some religious minorities in the Chinese Empire. At the same time, in order to express his concern for those who had newly joined the Chinese Empire, he specially invited some Christmas people to a hotel in Beijing on Christmas Day in the West. A reception was held. The people attending the banquet included scientific and technological personnel from all over the country, outstanding staff in China (that is, some migrant workers), as well as outstanding representatives of new workers who had just become citizens of the Chinese Empire, and some international students from various countries. . At the reception, Li Zhenhua and a group of main leaders of the Government Affairs Council attended the meeting. The leaders also toasted to them. At the banquet, some literary and artistic workers performed some cultural and artistic performances with the characteristics of the Chinese Empire, which made those people feel the Chinese The empire is like a big warm family. This made the Chinese Empire become an open country in the future. More foreigners began to pour into the Chinese Empire. They knew that their knowledge could only be put into use here, especially those who had come to the Chinese Empire a long time ago. There were many of them. People like those in the Chinese Empire's warships, airplanes, telegraphs, telephones, engines, commercial and industrial personnel, and some scholars and professors have all received the title of knight and nobility, and they have all received respect and preferential treatment in the Chinese Empire. Text Chapter 545 Participating in the Two Sessions (3) The emperor's special train was speeding on the railway line bound for Beijing. Li Zhenhua was still playing with his two children, but Wang Xin was lying on the bed to rest. The medicine was indeed so harmful that she could no longer stand Li Zhenhua's repeated attacks. Completely defeated, he repeatedly begged Li Zhenhua for mercy. Only then did Li Zhenhua let her go. Seeing Wang Xin like this, Li Zhenhua also felt a little distressed. But in his heart, he said, "Who did you find for yourself to dare to challenge me?" Husband¡¯s power¡±. When he returned to Beijing, Li Zhenhua naturally entered his role again. A lot of things were waiting for him. With the help of Jin Xifeng, he quickly finished all the things. He began to study the two invitation letters from the United States. Regarding the "Commodity Expo", let Wang Xin arrange these things. She can completely handle this Olympic Games. She has never participated in the Olympic Games. No one in the original empire watched it and they would not invite us. But it is different now. We The empire is a powerful country and we will not lag behind others in sports. In order to show the strong ability of our sports, we will send a strong delegation to participate and we will get a large number of gold medals. This is beyond doubt. But from now on, we have to start preparing. If we know something, we must notify them to prepare. If we don't know, we must conduct a nationwide selection. Anyway, we cannot fight without certainty. This is not our style. Nor is it a characteristic of the Chinese Empire. If you participate in the Olympic Games and don¡¯t win a few gold medals, it will be completely used as support for some countries, so you might as well not go. Soon the Imperial Administration issued two announcements: one is to call on some companies to use their excellent products to participate in the International Commodity Expo to be held in St. Louis, the United States, in July next year. A series of product names are listed at the back. The second is to require that in Recruiting outstanding sports talents nationwide and the names of some projects are also listed below. The above two tasks, the State Council clearly stated that these are political tasks, and governments at all levels must go all out to prepare and report the situation to the imperial government as soon as possible. These two announcements aroused a great response in the country. First of all, newspapers in various places publicly publicized it, and governments at all levels also posted announcements in some important places to solicit products for the expo and athletes to participate in the Olympic Games. Soon, a lot of applications were received from all over the country, and some sports players who thought they had skills also applied to the government. The Sichuan Provincial Government paid attention to the above requirements. Governor Sun Jingxuan immediately held a meeting of the provincial government. The governor personally arranged and arranged the cadres to conduct detailed supervision. After the meeting, they immediately took action and sent many cadres to the grassroots. Liu Xiaoshan from Youyang was the one who reacted the fastest. He immediately went to the pharmaceutical factory to ask them about any products they could get, and went to participate in the international expo. The pharmaceutical factory immediately took several drugs to their local parents. It was said that these drugs can have a great influence on the international market. In addition, he knew that there were several very famous wineries in his area. Although they were not as good as the "Wulianghuai" in Yibin, they were very good, so he asked the winery owner to specialize in producing his own good wine. Choose a good name "Youyang Chun". In addition, he also specially asked some people to provide clues to the people along the Wujiang River to introduce their local people with the best sofas to prepare to participate in the Olympic Games. Liaoning Province has also made great moves. They have prepared some products produced by local heavy industries to participate in international expositions. At the same time, workers in various factories also organized sports teams to participate in competitions. Among them were some Russians, Jews, etc. who had newly joined the Chinese Empire nationality. They immediately started training some of their sports such as boxing and running. Tianjin University organized a representative team to train in the Bei Canal in front of their house. This suddenly led to a good swimmer who grew up beside the Bei Canal. His name was Mu Xiongxiang. Others swam with the water, but he If you go upstream in the North Canal, you will naturally be on a different level than others. The Capital Guard Division in Beijing is also organizing personnel selections. Their specialty is weight-bearing cross-country. Their goal is to win the gold medal in the marathon. Li Xiaoshan has also returned from the Vladivostok front line. He is preparing to appear as a shooter. Every day, Li Zhenhua receives various materials from the following newspapers. All materials related to participating in the expo are handed over to a department specially organized by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry called the Expo Preparatory Group. Materials related to the Olympic Games are handed over to The Emperor also has an organization under him called the Sports Group, which will also be the National Sports Administration in the future. Soon the time came to the end of 1903. According to the traditional habits of the Chinese Empire, there was no sense of celebration in this solar year.Yes, but because the Chinese Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar year, this Gregorian calendar year can also be regarded as a festival, and there is a one-day holiday during the New Year. Li Zhenhua took into account the issues of some religious minorities in the Chinese Empire. At the same time, in order to express his concern for those who had newly joined the Chinese Empire, he specially invited some Christmas people to a hotel in Beijing on Christmas Day in the West. A reception was held. The people attending the banquet included scientific and technological personnel from all over the country, outstanding staff in China (that is, some migrant workers), as well as outstanding representatives of new workers who had just become citizens of the Chinese Empire, and some international students from various countries. . At the reception, Li Zhenhua and a group of main leaders of the Government Affairs Council attended the meeting. The leaders also toasted to them. At the banquet, some literary and artistic workers performed some cultural and artistic performances with the characteristics of the Chinese Empire, which made those people feel the Chinese The empire is like a big warm family. This made the Chinese Empire become an open country in the future. More foreigners began to pour into the Chinese Empire. They knew that their knowledge could only be put into use here, especially those who had come to the Chinese Empire a long time ago. There were many of them. People like those in the Chinese Empire's warships, airplanes, telegraphs, telephones, engines, commercial and industrial personnel, and some scholars and professors have all received the title of knight and nobility, and they have all received respect and preferential treatment in the Chinese Empire. Text Chapter 546 Participating in the Two Sessions (4) Chapter 546 Participating in the Two Sessions (Four) Chapter 546 Participating in the Fourth) The ministers under the Government Affairs Council also reported one by one. The purpose of allowing people to report publicly is to be open and fair and not to allow those shameful things to appear, no matter who it is. As long as you enter the country's power structure, your income and expenditure will be transparent. If anyone wants to use the public for personal gain, it will be very difficult. There are countless eyes around you staring at you. The first person to report was Zhan Tianyou of the Ministry of Railways, who reported on the railway construction work in the past year. In the year, the newly constructed railways reached 2,500 kilometers and the investment capital of 670 million (excluding the share capital part) was invested in the railways this year. The profit income has reached 30 million, and now the industry-wide net loss is 180 million. It is estimated that after five years, it will be evened out and profits will be realized. The Ministry of Industry has an annual income of 60 million, and new investment of 120 million will be recovered in three years. (However, there will be investment every year in the future, which is to support yourself.) The Ministry of Culture and Education invested a total of 2,000 throughout the year. Five million new universities, three senior high schools, 67 junior high schools, and 306 junior high schools. The final report made by Xu Shichang of the Ministry of Finance: this year¡¯s fiscal revenue reached 1.23482 billion, expenditure reached 1.775 billion, and the net loss was 540.1 million, of which customs revenue amounted to 4. 110 million industrial income 503 million, agricultural income 240 million, other income 81.82 million. The loss of 30 million was settled with a bank loan and the other part was settled with a bank overdraft. Leaders who borrowed a lot of money to live on did not agree with them. They thought that this method of living at the same time was not good. But when they saw that Zhan Tianyou boldly borrowed money for construction and could pay back the debt quickly, they did not say anything. In fact, the family was living a good life. It's the same as the country. Borrowing money is not a big deal as long as you can pay back the debt. However, a young official from the Ministry of Finance stood up and explained to some officials who disagreed. This person's name was Yan Boyu. Li Zhenhua heard what he said was good. The person next to him told the emperor that this person was the eldest son of Yan Fu, the director of the Naval Academy. He studied in the UK and now works as a helper in the Ministry of Finance. He has a relatively deep understanding of finance and economics, and is a good candidate worth cultivating. Li Zhenhua nodded and kept him in mind. Yan Boyu's explanation is very high-level. He compared the methods currently used by many countries in the world and the practices of some domestic banks through several aspects. In particular, he quoted the financial systems of some Western countries to illustrate the usability of this method. In his explanation, he He also quoted some data from foreign languages ??from time to time. At the end of his explanation, he was warmly applauded by people. In fact, people didn't really understand it, but the emperor was sitting on the side, and the emperor must have agreed to this practice. It turns out that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty spent money and had overdrafts, not to mention that we have such strong national financial resources now. A fiscal deficit of several hundred million is nothing at all. Time flies quickly and the New Year is celebrated. This year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve, the Empire has adopted a new propaganda method, which is radio broadcasting. Huge antennas are already installed in various large and medium-sized cities to receive and then rebroadcast. At the same time, many stores have begun to sell a The thing called a radio is placed there. As long as it is connected to the power supply, you can turn the knob by hand to listen to the radio, various music, operas, etc. What people like most is the radio drama. The directors of the radio station have made great efforts to express the battles between the Chinese Imperial Army and Japan and Russia in the form of art. These are all dramas that make people think about the next episode after listening to it. . At the same time, this kind of radio can also be recharged with batteries and can be used to listen in places where there is no electricity. This allowed some of the first merchants to make a small profit and the radios were sold in large quantities abroad. The Chinese Empire has spent its third Spring Festival. It is also a happy Spring Festival. Excellent literary and artistic groups from all over the country once again came to Beijing to let people enjoy their enjoyment. People from the sports preparatory group and the exposition preparatory group also selected a group below to go to the United States. A literary group to go to. As soon as the Spring Festival is over, normal work begins. By July 1st, the opening time in the United States is already very tight. The products have been selected, but there are still some necessary preparations to be made. There are more than a thousand traditional products participating in the expo. Export products include silk, lacquerware, tea, porcelain, clothing, shoes and hats, daily necessities, and some household appliances such as Zhao Benshan's flashlights, radios, electric fans, household water-cooled air conditioners, single-tub washing machines, etc. The liquor of the Chinese Empire is the best in the world. Now the top ten famous liquors have been selected: "Maotai", "Wuliangye", "Erguotou", "Xifeng", "Zhuyeqing", "Youyangchun", " Du Kang" and so on. These are nothing. The most important thing is that some weapons of the Chinese Empire are also on the sales catalog, such as mortars, rifles, pistols, which are superficial things, and some heavy weapons.?It means negotiating behind the scenes. There are also some drugs for pain relief and anesthesia, which are all extracted from opium. However, these drugs must be controlled and cannot be used too much. If you use too much, you will become dependent. There are also medicines for colds, anti-inflammatory, surgical medicines, internal medicines, etc. However, the prices of medicines that save lives on the battlefield are very high. There is also something called insulin, which is a special medicine for the treatment of "diabetes syndrome". Since it is a disease of wealth, the patient must belong to a wealthy family. For example, the Emperor of Japan has this disease. As the king of a country, he will not care about spending such a small amount of money. Then there are daily cosmetics, which are women¡¯s favorites. Some Chinese herbal preparations are definitely effective, but they also require a lot of money. However, men specialize in making money, while women specialize in spending money. They are the upper class in Western countries. Women in society do not spend their husbands' money but are given gifts by their lovers. Yan Boyu is responsible for all this work. His speech at the last year-end summary meeting attracted the emperor's attention. Now he has been removed from the financial department to be responsible for all matters related to the expo. Li Zhenhua had a special talk with him and made clear requirements: "This is our first time to participate in this kind of foreign exposition. We must show the characteristics of our country to make money. The key is to let the world know about our Chinese Empire." As soon as they use our products, they will remember that our products are only available in the Chinese Empire.¡± In addition, Li Zhenhua also told him to learn how to advertise and to have our advertisements at various Olympic venues. Bringing a group of cultural and artistic groups with the characteristics of the Chinese Empire. Many things are not uncommon here, but when you go abroad, they are special things, such as acrobatics, etc. Yan Boyu's level has been truly demonstrated. He classified all commodities into arms, food, chemicals, consumer goods, etc. Text Chapter 547 Participating in the Two Sessions (5) Chapter 547 Participation (5) Yan Boyu's level has been truly demonstrated. He classified all commodities into arms, food, chemicals, consumer goods, etc. In addition, according to the emperor's instructions, they will blow up a "Chinese Empire Wind" this time when they go out, so that everyone in St. Louis will know that the people from the Chinese Empire are coming. They have brought the best things in the world. Who would be better if they don't go? You will regret buying them for the rest of your life. This "Chinese Empire Style" will soon affect the whole world. Time flies by. Qingming Festival and National Day have passed. Yan Boyu sent the first group of people to St. Louis, Missouri, the United States, to prepare for the exhibition. It is very important to arrange your own exhibition venue. Zong Xinhua was the leader of this group of people. He was only twenty-six years old. He had more than twenty people under his command. After they arrived in St. Louis, the mayor of St. Louis met them. He expressed his gratitude to the officials who came from afar to attend the exposition of the Chinese Empire and welcomed him. Immediately, someone took Zong Xinhua and his party to the exhibition to have a look. As a result, Zong Xinhua was unhappy because the city of St. Louis in the United States was not prepared at all. It may also be that the people from the Chinese Empire came too early. They only have a small exhibition area. If all the products of the Chinese Empire are put in, others can't put the goods. When Zong Xinhua saw that this was not working, he asked the other party's personnel to re-enter the exhibition area. Arranging a place, but it took a while to find a place there. The American person in charge of the reception was a little confused. An American official said: "There is a closed factory near the stadium. There is a large workshop where all your products can be put down." Zong Xinhua immediately went to see it as soon as he heard about it. It was a large warehouse on the roadside with an area of ??several thousand square meters. There was also a wide square in front of the door, which could facilitate the performances of various literary and artistic groups. There was also a large courtyard inside. It was just a place to be. Just open the door on the roadside and it's very close to the stadium, only a few hundred meters away. Zong Xinhua was very happy when he saw it and immediately made up his mind. His plan was to sell my products, but "the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." I will make great efforts to advertise, and my products are definitely the most attractive. I am not immune to that little The exhibition hall limits myself to whatever I want here, and I can make full use of it here. He immediately sent a telegram to Yan Boyu to report the situation. Yan Boyu was studying the relevant preparations with Wang Xin at this time. As soon as he heard this, he immediately said: "After we get all that property, we will sell it there for a long time." Wang Xin bought the place with just one sentence. Wang Xin's idea was very simple. If it didn't work out in the future, he could use this place as his warehouse. But he didn't expect that her words would give the empire a huge advantage. After receiving the instruction, Zong Xinhua immediately bought out the property. Since the manufacturer had gone bankrupt, he did not spend a few dollars. With the help of St. Louis city officials, Zong Xinhua immediately started the necessary decoration work and leveled the front door to facilitate parking and performances. Several areas are divided in the warehouse to facilitate the arrangement of product exhibitions. The yard at the back can be used for parking and storing products. If the space is not enough, the exhibition area can be expanded. These young men did what they could do by themselves, and what they couldn't do by themselves asked the engineering team to help. They quickly cleaned up the place. During this period, they also received several groups of people. The first to come was from the American branch of Xinghua Group Company. After General Manager Johnson arrived, he first inquired about the domestic situation and then requested that some products of the American branch be exhibited here. His request was met. Secondly, Situ Meitang is now very famous in the United States. Especially after contacting Li Zhenhua, he became good friends with Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua admired his personality and gave Situ Meitang part of the car sales rights in the western United States, which also increased his Therefore, he always wanted to thank Li Zhenhua, but he never had the chance. This time he heard that the Chinese Empire sent a business delegation to the United States, so he came over. First, he wanted to express his gratitude, and second, he wanted to fully help the Chinese Empire's business delegation and He sent more than 20 of his men as the delegation's security personnel. If anything happened, they would come forward. When nothing happened, they would be a group of workers and translators. Soon, the preparation work here in the United States was completed, and various goods from far away in the country began to be transported to the United States. The preparations for the Expo have been talked about a bit, but the preparations for the sports delegation have been a bit poor. First, we gathered some special athletes, such as Mu Xiongxiang of Tianjin, Liu Chunchang of Dalian, and Li Xiaohu of the Army. They are all gold medalists in this Olympic Games. They organized special sports teams for shooting, swimming, sprinting, etc., and then found the top guards of the security division to join the marathon. Then there are the martial arts teams, wrestling teams, weightlifting teams, boxing teams and other sports teams selected from across the country, as well as women¡¯s archery teams and other women¡¯s archery teams. Their bows and arrows are specially made by Han Zhichao. It turns out that Han Zhichao is a bow and arrow manufacturer. The expert has been working in the military factory for many years now.?Now he is much stronger than before in terms of technology and materials, but those shooters are all special combat female warriors in the Capital Guard Division. The collection is all the following is the training that has been trained now that it has been four months before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The whole training is just people doing their own physical training without a real coach. At this time, the emperor used his knowledge of sports to guide the athletes. After the various sports teams were centralized, Li Zhenhua asked them to go to the aviation school in eastern Beijing for intensive training. However, there was one person whose training could not be carried out. That was the swimmer Mu Xiongxiang. Li Zhenhua asked everyone to start physical training. After that, he discovered But Mu Xiongxiang has nothing to do. It's still cold in the north, and there are no indoor swimming pools in the country. So Li Zhenhua told him that he should also do physical training, but when he saw Mu Xiongxiang, he still couldn't understand. Li Zhenhua now knows that people's various abilities are actually their own talents in various aspects and cannot be improved by training. So Li Zhenhua decided to let Mu Xiongxiang go to the south for training. So Mu Xiongxiang was sent by Li Zhenhua to protect him. After going to Shanghai, Li Zhenhua knew that he had gone swimming in the river in April when he was in Tianjin, and now there should be no problem in Shanghai. (To be continued Text Chapter 548 Guidance for Sports Teams Chapter 548: Guidance of the Sports Team Chapter 548: Guidance of the Sports Team Seeing the Emperor caring so much about himself, a swimmer who had never taken swimming seriously, was completely moved. After arriving in Shanghai, although the weather was still a little cool, he was He started training diligently, and a few people who rushed there with him helped him with timing services, etc. Soon, Mu Xiongxiang got into a strong state. Mu Xiongxiang went to Shanghai alone and the remaining people started training under the guidance of Li Zhenhua. First, they prepared some equipment that they must have for training. For example, the shooting team must have its own weapons and shooting ranges and a large amount of target paper. Sprinters need to have their own track, so Li Zhenhua asked people to mark out a track for them based on the technical indicators provided by the United States. This required special preparation, and he also asked people to add some nutritional supplements to them appropriately. In addition, for wrestling clothing, we can use our original traditional wrestling clothing "ºâñÍ". For boxing, they are sold in foreign stores now, and you can just buy them back. However, Li Zhenhua has purchased some of their protective equipment. After a lot of effort, especially the equipment to protect his teeth, he had to ask a dentist in Beijing to make a cover to protect his teeth. In fact, Li Zhenhua now is purely the logistics manager of a sports team. He is busy with everything alone, but this gives him a sense of accomplishment. As the first sports team of the Chinese Empire to compete abroad, he is not serving anyone else. Everyone has this opportunity. After all the preparations were done, Li Zhenhua gathered all the team members together and held a meeting for them to explain why he wanted to organize them for training: "Hello, comrades, now I want to tell you why we want to participate in this Olympic Games. This sports meeting is a competition where outstanding athletes from all over the world compete. It turns out that our empire is relatively backward in this regard. " "Now that we have come to participate in this competition, we have to compete. The true level lets those foreigners know that our Chinese Empire is also a powerful country in sports. In other words, this competition field is a battlefield without smoke. We have to compete to show our national power and our true level. I want to ask. Comrades, are you confident? " "Yes" all the team members answered loudly. Li Zhenhua smiled with satisfaction. He knew that these soldiers of his were the best in fighting, but they did not understand the true meaning of this game. Now they They will understand after this. Sure enough, all sports teams actively started training after the meeting. The most boring training is for sprinters. They run again and again, and the people next to them help record the results. Then they run again. What they need to pay attention to is starting, sprinting, and hitting the line. In terms of details, they need to pay attention to breathing and change themselves. Some unnecessary postures, but Liu Chunchang, an athlete from Dalian, can often achieve good results. The sprinters immediately learned from Liu Chunchang. They began to compete privately with each other to compete with him. As a result, people's speed levels quickly improved. The training of the wrestlers is a kind of physical contact. Wrestling is done in the traditional way of the original Chinese Empire. These young men keep wrestling every day. This is a strenuous job. When I return to the dormitory every day, I can hardly walk, but everyone is still working hard. Practicing. Regarding boxing, Li Zhenhua thinks this sport is too barbaric, but those athletes with blue eyes and yellow hair are very happy. Their faces are often bruised and swollen, and the doctors on the team have to treat them every day. Even so, they are still very happy. They were so happy that they felt that this was the first time they represented their country in a competition since they joined the Chinese Empire, so they must show their highest level to win this battle without smoke and not bring shame on the emperor. You can't smear the face of the Chinese Empire, otherwise you will be sorry for the emperor's concern for you. Those marathon runners do more exercise than usual, but they don't have weapons or weights, which also allows them to increase their speed and save some energy. Usually, their training is to run five times a day. kilometers and once a week is thirty kilometers. Now the distance has been increased to forty-five kilometers. The actual distance is twenty-six miles and 385 yards. The distance of the modern marathon is forty-two kilometers and one hundred and ninety-five meters. Several soldiers asked the emperor during a break in training: "Why is it so awkward for the emperor to make this distance a round number?" Li Zhenhua patiently explained to the soldiers: For a running competition, 26 miles and 385 yards is indeed a very strange distance. This goes back to the early Olympiads in Greece. The Greeks began holding the Olympic Games in 776 BC to commemorate the god Zeus. They held an event every four years to bring together all the city-states in Greece.?Athletes are all gathered together. During the five days when the Olympia competition was held there was a national truce. Early competitions included only running, boxing, wrestling, the pentathlon, and various horse and chariot races. After 490 BC, in order to commemorate the legendary feat of a Greek warrior, a special long-distance running competition, the Marathon, was added to the competition. It is said that this warrior started from the plain of Marathon, the battlefield at that time, and ran 22 miles and 1,470 yards to deliver the news of Greece's victory over Persia to Athens. As soon as he shouted excitedly, "Cheer, we are victorious," he fell to the ground and died. The distance of the marathon at the Greek Olympic Games is approximately 25 miles and is run naked by young men. After the loss of Greece, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I abolished the games in 393 AD. It was not until the 1896 Olympic Games that the Frenchman Pierre? Baron de Coubertin was restored in Athens. Marathon distances varied throughout the first few modern Olympic Games. It was not until the 1908 London Olympic Games that the current marathon distance was first stipulated. At that time, the British Olympic Committee decided that the distance between the marathon race starting from the royal residence at Windsor Castle and ending in front of the royal box at the London Stadium would be exactly 26 miles and 385 yards. This distance was set as the standard at the 1924 Olympic Games and is still used today. Today, all marathons, including non-Olympic marathons, use this distance, but in the future, it will be stipulated that all participants must wear clothes and can no longer compete naked. The soldiers all laughed after hearing this. It was so interesting. Also, those foreigners were too mean to talk about the naked competition. I heard the soldiers say that their next work was that Li Zhenhua decided to design several sets of sportswear for his athletes to wear in competitions. That night, Li Zhenhua used the patterns in his memory to design their own competition sportswear for his athletes and handed them over to the following. Of course, he did not forget to design a set of swimming trunks for Mu Xiongxiang who was training in Shanghai. Those athletes felt very comfortable after wearing the sportswear designed by the emperor himself. Text Chapter 549 Rushing to the battlefield without smoke Chapter 549: Rushing to the battlefield without gunpowder smoke Chapter 549: Rushing to the battlefield without gunpowder smoke The emperor¡¯s special train first went on the Beijing-Tianjin Railway and then entered the Jinpu Line. After crossing the Yangtze River on the ferry, it entered Nanjing and then entered the Shanghai-Nanjing Line and went straight to the largest empire in the empire. On the train in the city of Shanghai was the Chinese Empire Sports Delegation, who had trained hard for more than three months. They finally ended this stage of their training and began to rush to their "battlefield without gunpowder smoke." Many soldiers were riding a train for the first time. They were very fresh and very excited during the more than thirty hours of journey. Everyone squeezed in front of the car window and looked out at the scenery along the way. As the saying goes, some knowledgeable soldiers acted as free commentators to introduce some stories along the way. Next to Li Zhenhua were his three children and three wives. The children did not go to bed until they were too sleepy and could no longer bear it. The three ladies also went to bed one after another. This was their first time in the United States, and their mission was definitely not the same. Everything about the entire business delegation depends on Wang Xin, but Wang Xin is very confident because she has the emperor and her two good sisters behind her. What should be prepared has already been prepared. What I didn¡¯t expect will be discussed at that time. The emperor may not be able to count on him. Although he is the head of the sports delegation in name only, his mind is entirely devoted to the sports delegation. In his words, that It's just that you can handle the commercial work without me taking care of it. When the special train arrived, Shanghai Mayor Zhu Baosan was already waiting on the platform. Mu Xiongxiang and his swimming team came with him. Mayor Zhu and the emperor had also met years ago. He greeted him cordially and shook hands with the emperor cordially. Shanghai is the largest company to participate in the World Expo. Shanghai¡¯s products alone account for half of them. Zhu Baosan said to the emperor: ¡°It¡¯s too hard for us to go to the United States. Let¡¯s hold it in our Shanghai next time.¡± Li Zhenhua said to him: ¡°Then you can Make preparations and try to hold it in Shanghai as soon as possible. "Zhu Baosan immediately said: "Okay, I will start preparing right away to get the industry and commerce across the country to support us. We must host it well." Zhu Baosan prepared a lot of accommodation for the two delegations. Fortunately, the evening banquets at several of the best hotels in Shanghai were also quite grand. Literary and artistic groups from various places who had arrived in Shanghai in advance also attended the banquet and performed impromptu performances for the two delegations at the banquet. Zhu Baosan delivered a speech before the banquet: "Dear athletes and friends, when you attend the Olympic Games in this world, from now on, you are not representing yourself. You are representing our Chinese nation, the representative team, our country, our great Chinese Empire. . Here I say farewell to everyone and wish you all good results.¡± At this moment, every athlete¡¯s heart felt heavy and everyone gave the warmest applause to Mayor Zhu Baosan¡¯s speech. The time has arrived on June 1st. The docks in Shanghai are full of people coming to see him off. Because newspapers and radio have already said that today is the day when the two major delegations of the Chinese Empire set out. Today's Shanghai can be said to be empty. People are crowding in. Zhu Baosan, the mayor of Shanghai's Shiliupu Pier, stood in front of the crowd. He was filled with emotion: when had our empire been so powerful? Now that we are already a powerful country in the world, we will continue to progress and become the number one in the world. The cruise ship is a newly built cruise ship named "Golden Dragon". Its speed has reached 27 knots and its displacement has reached 27,000 tons. Even ordinary large warships can't outrun it. Only a few destroyers can keep up with it. There are two more that set off at the same time. A cruiser and two destroyers are used for escort, but their name is to conduct a military visit to Brazil. This cruise ship was chartered by the delegation themselves. There are more than 2,000 seats on the ship, almost all of which are occupied by the delegation. However, this is not a matter of the sports delegation, but of the business delegation. In addition to a large number of sales people, there are many He is a member of a literary and artistic group. In addition, there are only a few bunks in the remaining part for some people who are out on official business, but the emperor cannot have idle people up there. The original route was to stop in Japan, but because Li Zhenhua had never been interested in Japan, he did not go there. However, he stopped in Guam. The reason for the cruise ship was that he needed to replenish fresh water and fuel here. Some photography "hobbies" on board "The photographer" took a large number of landscape pictures here, but if a professional person takes a look at them, they will not be landscape pictures, and they will definitely be of great use in the military. The next stop is Honolulu in the United States, which is also the Hawaiian Islands. Here we still need to make supplements. In the eyes of Americans, the warships and ships of the Chinese Empire are not good enough. They have not gone very far, so they need to be supplemented. Of course, "photography enthusiasts" "We were busy again. Some people also took pictures of some American warships. They seemed to be interested in everything. But who made the scenery here soIt's so good. Li Zhenhua and his family stood on the high point of the cruise ship and looked around. This place fell into the hands of the United States in 1898, but he was busy solving the Philippines problem and letting them get it. However, there are many Chinese here. If you have the opportunity, you should get it into your own hands. This place is an important place. It is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean. No matter who controls it, it is also very advantageous. Here Li Zhenhua asked people to inform the U.S. government that he had arrived in the United States. It turned out that when he agreed to the U.S. participation, he told them that the emperor would also come to the U.S. Although the U.S. also officially sent out an invitation, the time was It has not been decided yet. Notifying them now is also a courtesy request. They should make preparations. It is easy to reach the west coast of the United States. The place with the largest number of Chinese expatriates is San Francisco. The mayor of San Francisco represents the U.S. government. You must stop here. Welcoming the Emperor of China and his entourage, after a simple welcome ceremony, they quickly checked into some big local hotels. Of course, they must stay on Situ Meitang's territory, regardless of whether he makes money or not, but since My heart is willing to stay in his hotel. Text Chapter 550 The profitable telegraph industry Chapter 550 The Profitable Telegraph Industry Chapter 550 The Profitable Telegraph Industry The 26th President of the United States is Theodore? Roosevelt was called the "Hero of San Juan Hill" for his outstanding military exploits in the Spanish-American War. Is the vice president Garrett? ? When Hobart first received the news that the emperor of the Chinese Empire was coming to the United States, they just laughed it off. They simply did not believe that a man who had just become emperor would go on a visit. It could be said that they had no understanding of the ancient and backward China. The empire knew too well that their emperor would never leave his country. But now I suddenly heard that the Emperor of the Chinese Empire had arrived in Honolulu, so Theodore? President Roosevelt immediately and the vice president is Garrett? Hobart discussed together and rushed to San Francisco to greet His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. The current Chinese Empire is no longer the backward Manchu Qing Empire. They defeated Japan, a powerful country in East Asia, militarily, and defeated Japan, a powerful country in its northwest and northeast. of the Russian Empire. Economically, their rapid development has shocked many old imperialist countries. Even the United Kingdom and France are in their hands and often suffer small losses from them. Some companies in the United States are experiencing rapid development in their hands. They were also defeated in the competition, but because the United States was the first to propose exempting them from the "Boxer Indemnity" and supporting them in some policies, they are now relatively friendly to the United States. Some of their companies are also very sincere in their cooperation with American companies. Didn¡¯t the American automobile industry giant Ford develop rapidly after obtaining the patent for the assembly line with the help of the emperor before he ascended the throne? Therefore, the two people quickly reached an agreement to make good use of the favorable opportunity of the Chinese Emperor's coming to the United States to establish a good relationship with the Chinese Empire, warmly receive, protect, and cooperate with each other for common development. And Vice President Garrett? Hobart as Theodore? President Roosevelt's personal representative went to San Francisco to welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Li Zhenhua. Although he rushed slowly, he arrived in San Francisco a day late and met the Emperor of the Chinese Empire the next day. Li Zhenhua, who was resting in the hotel, heard someone from below reporting about U.S. Vice President Garrett? Hobart came to visit Li Zhenhua. When he heard that Li Zhenhua came out, he hurriedly welcomed him out. The two shook hands cordially. This was the first handshake between the heads of the two major countries of the East and the West. On the surface, the two sides seemed very harmonious. After this handshake, the two sides started to fight for decades. Both sides were unwilling to be suppressed by the other side. During the Second World War, there was no clear distinction between the superior and the inferior. In the end, the two sides fought with real swords and guns, and the winner was determined. Vice President Garrett? Hobart first apologized to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua also said: "This cannot be said to be the fault of the United States. The main reason is that we informed you late." Vice President Garrett? Hobart asked the mayor of San Francisco to entertain guests from afar. The mayor of San Francisco immediately held a grand welcome banquet for the Emperor of China in the most luxurious hotel in San Francisco. The news soon spread throughout the world. The Emperor of China and Vice President Garrett? Hobart's arrival increased the popularity of San Francisco, and reporters from various countries soon flocked over. They were full of curiosity about the young and handsome emperor of the Chinese Empire. The spotlight kept flashing, and the reporters ran to the telegraph room to make reports. There were long queues in front of each telegraph room of the newspaper, but the reporters in front of them were trying to prevent other reporters from publishing and to have their own manuscripts published first. Some of them even recited poems and articles in the telegrams. Their arrival made those telegraph offices make a lot of money. The telegraph offices were all talking about words and calculating costs. If you studied here, the telegraph office would be very happy. Later, the reporters even had conflicts about this. When Li Zhenhua saw it, he hurriedly asked Vice President Garrett? Hobart immediately arranged to rush to St. Louis Garrett as quickly as possible? Hobart promised to send a special train to St. Louis soon to bring the two delegations from the Chinese Empire together. Garrett? Vice President Hobart took a moment to tell the mayor of San Francisco to immediately contact the President of the International Olympic Committee, Mr. Coubertin, and ask him to come to St. Louis as soon as possible because it turned out that he had already taken leave and said that he could not come to St. Louis to attend the opening and closing ceremonies. Now that the emperor of the Chinese Empire is here, it¡¯s impossible for you, the chairman of the Olympic Committee, not to participate. The same is true for President Theodore of the United States? Mr. Roosevelt originally did not plan to participate in the Olympic Games, but this time he had to participate. St. Louis is the largest city in Missouri, a land and water transportation hub in the Midwestern United States. It was originally a fur trading place for Indians. French fur traders built a castle here in 1764 and named it after King Louis IX. It was established as a city in 1808. In the early days, it was a trading center for agricultural and livestock products in nearby areas. Since the 1850s, due to the opening of river ports and the construction of railways, urban industry and commerce developed rapidly and became an important foundation for the westward development of the United States.By 1900, the urban population had reached more than 500,000. St. Louis has developed transportation. It is the largest inland river port in the country, with a coastline of more than 20 kilometers long. It has advanced port facilities. It is the second largest railway transportation center in the country. There are many railway lines intersecting here and 9 highway trunk lines passing through the city. The urban area of ??St. Louis extends for more than 20 kilometers along the Mississippi River. Hedong calls East St. Louis the birthplace of the city, and Hexi calls St. Louis the core part of the city. There are many highway and railway bridges between the two banks. The northeastern suburbs of East St. Louis and the southwestern suburbs of St. Louis are two major industrial areas. Most of the factories are distributed in a belt along the Mississippi River. The newly constructed buildings in the city center and French classical architecture complement each other. The wide streets and the 192-meter-high stainless steel arch stand on the riverside, symbolizing the gateway to the westward development of the United States and becoming the main symbol of the city. Near the arch is the famous Jefferson National Development Memorial Hall, which covers an area of ??more than 530 acres in the west of the city. The hectare forest park integrates various cultural and entertainment facilities and is one of the main tourist destinations. In the square in front of the St. Louis City Hall, the red dragon flag of the Chinese Empire and the Stars and Stripes of the United States of America were flying side by side in the wind. Theodore, the 26th President of the United States? Roosevelt was already waiting there. On his side was a neat naval honor guard and military band. The ground in front of it had been covered with a red carpet. At the far end were the officers and soldiers responsible for firing the salute. Text Chapter 551 The Western ¡°Hand-Chewing Ceremony¡± Chapter 551 The Western "Hand-Nipping Ceremony" Chapter 551 The Western "Hand-Gnawing Ceremony" Two flagpoles stand in the square in front of the St. Louis City Hall. After a while, the red dragon flag of the Chinese Empire and the Stars and Stripes of the United States of America will be on the square. Here rises in the air side by side and flies in the wind. Theodore, the twenty-sixth president of the United States? Roosevelt and his wife were already waiting there. On one side of him were the neat naval honor guards and military bands. The ground in front of them was covered with a red carpet. At the far end were the officers and soldiers responsible for firing the salute. ""() The gun salute originated in Britain. From the 17th to the 18th century, Britain had become the number one colonial empire at that time, with colonies on almost every continent in the world. When British ships sailed past foreign forts or sailed into foreign ports, they arbitrarily demanded that the host country salute them with cannons to show respect and submission to Britain. In return, British ships usually fired 7 cannons. However, British colonialists believed that weak countries and strong countries, colonies and metropolitan countries could not be equal. If a British ship fires a salute, other countries should respond with three salutes. In this way, the custom of the three-seven-twenty-one gun salute was born. But later, as Britain's international status gradually declined, British ships began to fire a 21-gun salute to show equality. The specifications for firing gun salutes in grand celebrations vary from country to country. On the Fourth of July, 50 bells are played, one for each state. The highest standard of salute fired during the welcome ceremony is 21 guns for heads of state, followed by 19 guns for heads of government. Outside the police cordon, there are countless people watching around the square. Of course, those reporters who like to hunt for news are indispensable. People of all skin colors outside the venue include black, white, and yellow-skinned Chinese. There were many of them, some holding flowers in their hands, and many holding the Empire of China. Several red banners had eye-catching slogans written on them: "Warmly welcome the sports and business delegations of the Empire of China", "Empire of China" "Long live the Emperor" and "Salute to the Chinese Imperial Sports Delegation" etc. A long line of "Golden Dragon" cars entered the square. In the back seat of a car, Li Zhenhua had already discovered the exciting scene. The car came to a stop in front of the red carpet. Li Zhenhua and his three wives got out of the car. A burst of warm cheers broke out from the crowd, and a gun salute also sounded at this time, and the atmosphere in the square reached a climax. Theodore, the 26th President of the United States? Roosevelt walked towards Li Zhenhua, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and the two held hands together. Then they walked to the small reviewing stand in the middle. There was also an episode. The reviewing stand prepared by the Americans was obviously smaller because Li Zhenhua went up to the stage with three ladies. Fortunately, the people from the Chinese Empire were short. Some of them did not embarrass Americans. Next, the flag is raised and the national anthem is played. First, the military band of the U.S. Navy plays the national anthem of the Empire of China, "Soul of China." The red dragon flag of the Empire of China is raised. Then the national anthem of the United States of America, "The Star-Spangled Banner," is played. At the same time, the Stars and Stripes of the United States of America are raised underneath. The two heads of state jointly reviewed the honor guard of the U.S. Navy, and each ceremony passed one by one. Although Li Zhenhua was not interested in these, he knew that it was about the dignity of the Chinese Empire, and he persisted in it all intact. Then he was sent to the most luxurious hotel in the area by the United States to rest temporarily for the night. Theodore? President Roosevelt also had to hold a welcome banquet for His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire so that he could have some time to rest. This is a small independent three-story building. On the top three floors, there is a huge and luxurious presidential suite, where Li Zhenhua's family is placed. On the second floor are some staff's residences. Below is the residence of the security personnel. There are restaurants, bathrooms, toilets, There are three bedrooms plus a reception room and conference room. Yaqi immediately sat on the bed, threw her high heels aside, and fell down on the bed: "These Americans can really do this, which is more tiring than fighting with others." She just said He complained as soon as he entered the door. Wang Xin said on the side: "Don't worry, the evening activities will not be easy. There will still be many people coming up to chew your hand." Wang Xin jokingly called the Western hand kissing ceremony "gnawing". Yaqi immediately said: "Then I will sit down and stretch out my feet for them to chew on." "Then the emperor will definitely serve you in a family way and be careful of your butt." Jin Xifeng said with a smile. "That's no good. It's not worth it." Yaqi sat up. Wang Xin took off her jewelry and said to the two of them: "If you are really tired, take a rest quickly. The event at night will not be small. Let's talk and laugh. If anyone loses face to the emperor, she will go to the house by herself." But no one will plead with you. " Wang Xin is more involved in external interactions. She knows that the activities at night will not be small, so they should take the time to rest. In fact, they are tired, but they are not too tired to move. If this business activity is mainly focused on Wang Xin, then she willTo take responsibility, she has a nominal head of the delegation named Luo Han, while the head of the sports delegation under Li Zhenhua is called Gu Yu. People say it quickly and it becomes "Gongs and Drums". When Li Zhenhua came in, the three women stopped joking and they immediately became serious. As soon as Li Zhenhua entered the door, he said to them: "Are you tired? Take the time to rest and there are activities in the evening. These Americans are really good at it." Li Zhenhua saw the things on the ground at a glance. He asked with a smile: "Whose are these high heels?" Yaqi blushed: "Your Majesty, those are mine. Please forgive me for being rude." "You are stupid, you never like these high heels, you think I don't know. Come and warm your feet with hot water. It will make you feel better. There is hot water in the bathroom of this bedroom. Go and warm it before you let me serve you." He said and slapped Yaqi's butt. . Yaqi stuck out her little tongue and hurried to the bathroom. She didn't want the emperor to serve her with his own hands. If she did that, she would be too embarrassed. But Li Zhenhua used to wash her feet a lot, but since Li Zhenhua became the emperor, no one of them has. I dare not let the emperor wash his feet again. Li Zhenhua came to Wang Xin. He wanted to tell Wang Xin that there will be many business celebrities attending today's party. Wang Xin asked Wang Xin to take care of the people below. He should pay more attention to them and contact more people to get to know them better. Some friends this will be beneficial to future business activities. In addition, Li Zhenhua asked the service staff to give them some snacks in advance for them to eat. Wang Xin, Yaqi and Jin Xifeng all ate some. Li Zhenhua also ate some. They may not be used to Western banquets, so don't starve yourself by then. This is not cost effective. Text Chapter 552 Grand Welcome Reception Chapter 552 The Grand Welcome Reception Chapter 552 The Grand Welcome Reception In the evening, the grand welcome reception hosted by President Theodore Roosevelt finally began. It was a completely Western-style reception with all kinds of delays and drinks. In the middle of the hall was a huge There are many tables around the dance floor filled with various foods, some of which are special foods and wines of the Chinese Empire. Waiters wearing white tops and black uniforms shuttle among them, holding large plates with various kinds of food on them. Guests can take various drinks by themselves or let them get what they need. ("") At 8:30 in the evening, President Theodore Roosevelt and his wife accompanied Li Zhenhua and his three wives to the hall. People immediately stopped their activities and gave warm applause to today's protagonist. President Theodore Roosevelt because After winning the Spanish-American War, people had high expectations for him. Now the largest country in the East has come to the United States, which makes the American people extremely excited. The United States is a country of immigrants. They are not xenophobic, but they are hostile to the Chinese. , overseas Chinese are very unfriendly. Although the Chinese have made great contributions to the United States in the construction of the Pacific Railway, Americans are not friendly to Chinese and overseas Chinese. Li Zhenhua came to the United States in person this time to see why Americans are so unfriendly to Chinese and overseas Chinese. Accept that this time you will use your influence to get Americans to repeal their Chinese Exclusion Act. President Theodore Roosevelt delivered a warm welcome speech in his own unique style. His speech was welcomed by most people. Then His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire Li Zhenhua also delivered a speech: "The Chinese Empire located in the east of the world and in the The United States of America in the Western Hemisphere are two great countries. Although the political systems of the two countries are different now, they have had long-term friendly exchanges, whether in business, military or other aspects. We have close ties in the future. Further strengthening the ties and cooperation between us will make the people of both countries prosperous together." Li Zhenhua put a high hat on them again: "Since the middle of the last century, the American people have completed their own industry and are developing rapidly. The development path of the United States of America is an example for the Chinese Empire to learn from. We must learn from the United States of America and develop and grow as quickly as possible.¡± Li Zhenhua began to deceive them again: ¡°The current Chinese Empire is a developing land. A lot can be done there. I hope that people of insight from the United States of America will go to our Chinese Empire to develop. You will definitely gain a lot in that magical land." The speech of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire was met with applause many times. After Li Zhenhua's deception was successful, many Americans began to yearn for the Chinese Empire. After the speech, there was a grand dance. The first to leave were Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin. President Roosevelt and his wife, and then only a dozen pairs left. This was a courtesy and the main people were dancing. The graceful dance steps of the Chinese Emperor fascinated some Americans. His dance partner also attracted the attention of many people. Li Zhenhua could dance in the original time and space, and now his dance steps are also very senior engineers. By the second song, there were no restrictions and there were more natural people. Li Zhenhua stopped dancing. Now Jiang Taigong was firmly seated on the Diaoyutai. He wanted to meet some relevant people in his position. Yaqi and Jin Xifeng were also invited by some people to dance a few songs. The Americans were amazed at the beauty of the imperial concubine of the Chinese Empire. They could only look at them with fascination. They did not dare to do anything wrong. If they dared to do so, they would be afraid of seeing them. The sun was gone for the next day. Now Mr. Henry Ford, the boss of the American automobile industry, is here and can be said to be old friends with His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. He is also the earliest partner and has been cooperating for five or six years now. It is just an assembly line operation method purchased from the Chinese Empire. The people who made Henry Ford rich and created the Chinese Empire had a way of doing it. They were constantly launching new things, and they were happy to save money on development. If they took over their technology, they could make money themselves. What's wrong with that? Now GM and Chrysler have never let go of him, and they have been chasing after him, determined to surpass Henry Ford. In the original time and space, GM and Chrysler once surpassed Henry Ford, and later Henry Ford also It was only when new cars were launched that they surpassed them again. Henry Ford sincerely invited His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire to visit his automobile factory and provide guidance to their factory. Li Zhenhua said humbly: "It's okay for us to visit, but we can't say what we want to guide." Henry Ford ? Ford immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be modest. I know that any major invention of the Chinese Empire is inseparable from His Majesty the Emperor. You must give us guidance this time when you come."?I know you are our major shareholder. " Li Zhenhua thought about it. He is a shareholder, that is, the boss cannot care about his own company, so he agreed and planned to visit Henry Ford's factory in Detroit soon. After receiving Li Zhenhua's guarantee, Henry Ford was happy. He left. Then the bosses of General Motors and Chrysler also came and asked His Majesty the Emperor to visit them. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to say to them: "Okay, I will definitely go if I have time." ¡± At the beginning, some companies came to get close to Li Zhenhua. These people were involved in finance, industry, and petroleum. In their conversations with Li Zhenhua, they all expressed their willingness to go to the Chinese Empire to have a look. Li Zhenhua knew that these people were It is necessary to be extremely cautious. No one like a fool will throw away a lot of money when they go to a place. They must pass the inspection before they can make up their mind to invest. Similarly, Wang Xin also received many people who wanted to go to the Chinese Empire. Li Zhenhua asked for a visit. He knew that if they went to the Chinese Empire, they would definitely be attracted by the good investment environment there. The dance in the hall continued, but Li Zhenhua and Wang Xin were talking softly with some people. Within minutes, Li Zhenhua knew that anyone who had talked to him would be recorded by the US government. Their government would definitely conduct some necessary investigations on them, but he believed that they would definitely go to the Chinese Empire where they would prosper. Those who can make money and get their own benefits from their investments. Text Chapter 553 Advertising War Chapter 553 Advertising War Chapter 553 Advertising War Everyone started their normal work on the second day after arriving in St. Louis. The President of the United States hurriedly returned to Washington after the welcome reception. He still had his own affairs. The two delegations had already separated. It is already June 22nd as they start their own preparations. Guyu's sports delegation has already checked into the so-called "Olympic Village", which is just a hotel closer to the Olympic venue. The conditions are not very good. Li Zhenhua arrived at their residence the next day and immediately asked them to move out and let them live with his business delegation. He did not want his athletes to have a bad rest so as not to affect their competition results. (The place where he lives is not allowed because it will be where high-ranking officials live. In the eyes of Western people, the concept of hierarchy is very strong. They do not allow lower-class people to stay. Li Zhenhua is too lazy to fight with them to let athletes live in business buildings. The conditions on the delegation's side were relatively better in places controlled by our own people.) Luo Han was busy with his work. Yan Boyu and Wang Xin, who arrived early, first held a preparatory meeting together. The product must be a hit this time. After some discussion, they immediately started to divide the labor. At this time, Li Zhenhua came to their place. He looked around and expressed satisfaction with everything here. The place is very spacious and can display all the products. At the same time, some advertising activities can be carried out in the square in front of the door. Seeing them preparing for the division of labor, I sat aside and listened to their arrangements. Wang Xin was arranging the work: "Luohan is responsible for the exhibition layout of the venue. He arranges various products in the exhibition hall so that people will have a unique feeling at a glance. First of all, it can attract people and then encourage those who come to make a purchase. "Boyu's work is mainly to carry out advertising throughout the United States and St. Louis to attract many people to visit his exhibition venue. The methods can be diverse, including advertisements in newspapers, performances by our cultural groups, and a large number of advertising boards at competition venues." Yan Boyu hesitated and then asked: "Do you understand if we go to the streets of St. Louis to carry out propaganda? I'm afraid this is a waste of time." After hearing this, Li Zhenhua immediately said: "Don't worry, everyone is curious, Americans are the same, but here it is still There are many people who understand that as long as we take action, it will be effective." So people immediately started taking action according to the division of labor. Luohan asked the people below to place all the products on the booth, and also placed some products below to be sold at any time. If there are a large number of orders, then further negotiation is required to sign a contract and then proceed with delivery and payment. The level matters are the latter level. At the same time, he must also consider necessary security work and pay attention to some fire prevention and anti-theft measures. Yan Boyu wrote down some necessary advertising measures and then implemented them one by one: First, let some performance units disperse people to perform on the street outside to perform. It can be a few people or a dozen people. Second, let Feng Guozhang The Hejian Dagu from my hometown was pulled on a truck to tour the city of St. Louis. Third, we must set up some advertising billboards with pictures and texts in the competition venue as soon as possible. At the same time, we must also prepare a large number of advertising slogans. We cannot just use one sentence to say the product. summarized in representative words. Fourth, we should carry out advertising in newspapers and media at all levels to attract more people to visit our products and expand their popularity. Finally, a large number of promotional posters will be printed and distributed by children in St. Louis. People also took action immediately. Some people racked their brains to write articles and advertisements. Some went to a nearby wood processing factory to order a large number of brands. Some went to a printing factory. At this time, a guard came to Li Zhenhua and whispered a few words to him. Li Zhenhua immediately stood up and said to Wang Xin and Yan Boyu: "Something good is coming, Henry? Mr. Ford must have something good if he wants to see me." So Henry? Ford didn't leave at all after the cocktail party. He had to find the emperor of the Chinese Empire to have a meal with him. He went to where Li Zhenhua lived but didn't find him. When he knew he was here, he immediately came over again. Li Zhenhua also wanted to ask him to dispose of part of the truck for publicity. When he saw him coming, he immediately became happy. Li Zhenhua welcomed Henry outside the door? Ford also arrived at the door and the two shook hands Henry? Ford immediately said: "Your Majesty did not have time to elaborate yesterday. I want to invite you to lunch today." Li Zhenhua immediately smiled and said to him: "Mr. Ford?Thank you for your kindness, but since these two conferences will be held soon, I really don¡¯t have time, but I promised you to visit your factory. I must go, but I have a request today. It¡¯s up to you. " "Your Majesty, please tell me that as long as I can do it, I will do it with all my strength. " "I need twenty trucks now. " Henry? Ford was stunned for a moment. What did His Majesty the Emperor want to use the truck for? But he soon thought he understood: "Ah, I understand that you want to use the truck to transport goods, right? Then I promised to arrive at the latest tomorrow night. Are twenty three-ton cars fresh from the factory enough? If it's not enough, I can get some more. " "That's enough. Thank you very much for your strong support, but my purpose is not to transport goods but to carry out advertising. "Li Zhenhua told him about his plan. Henry? Ford's mouth was wide open. Advertising? If you want to use my car for advertising, isn't it also advertising for me? "Henry? Ford is really worthy of being a successful businessman. He immediately thought of his own property, so he immediately said: "In order to thank Your Majesty for using my cars, I decided to provide twenty of them to Your Majesty. "Henry? Ford said to a secretary-like person next to him: "Did you hear what His Majesty the Emperor meant? Immediately notify the company's vice president, Mr. James, and ask him to deliver forty cars here tomorrow morning no matter what method he thinks of. I will wait here myself. ¡± Li Zhenhua: ¡°Thank you so much, Mr. Ford¡± Text Chapter 554 Advertising War (2) Chapter 554 Advertising War (2) Chapter 554 Advertising War (2) As a result, Li Zhenhua did not turn down the meal and had to go to Henry? Mr. Ford's lunch went. ("") Other people do not have such a good life. Everyone can only make preparations with all their strength. We only have this week, and this week is the most critical week. Whether the goods of the Chinese Empire can be opened is a key battle. . After a day of preparations yesterday, the advertising war has also kicked off. Today¡¯s newspapers have already appeared in the newspapers for product advertisements for Empire of China, but people did not realize that the advertising campaign behind Empire of China would be so big. At dawn, forty brand-new Ford cars parked in front of the residence of the Chinese Empire Business Delegation. Everyone took action. Even some athletes joined in. Li Xiaohu was the most active. He was busy before and after running. Li Zhenhua immediately discovered him. : "Li Xiaohu" "Arrived" Li Xiaohu's soldier's movements showed and he hurriedly stood at attention and replied. "Who asked you to come?" Li Zhenhua asked with a tigerish face. "Commander, don't I do this every day? I won't make any mistakes." "If you can't, go back immediately to rest. I can't let you participate in the labor here." "Commander, I'm fine." "Stop talking nonsense and go back immediately. Target your dormitory. "Take steps." When Li Xiaohu saw that Li Zhenhua was really angry, he didn't dare to say anything and ran towards his dormitory. Li Zhenhua shook his head and smiled. He couldn't help but keep an eye on this child. Soon more than 30 cars were ready and the performance team also got on the car. People were making final preparations. They hung some banners on both sides of the car. At this time, more than a dozen workers carried out another On top of the pile of signs are the words "Drive on a Ford" written in English. Henry on the sidelines? Mr. Ford was immediately stunned that these people from the Chinese Empire were really smart enough to take advantage of anything. The big drum was beating, and the car drove out of the yard and set off towards the streets of St. Louis. The big men from the northern part of the Chinese Empire in the car were beating the big drum so hard that even the bow plate under the car was shaking. They used the sound of the drum to announce to the world: "Our Chinese Empire has come. From now on, we are also a member of the world family, and we are also the most powerful country in the world." The car has just walked a few miles and the crowds of people watching from both sides have already stopped the convoy from walking on the road. It was completely blocked. The St. Louis police hurried over to help maintain order. At the same time, they immediately reported to Mr. Davis, the police chief, that the propaganda convoy of the Chinese Empire had completely blocked the traffic due to their propaganda and asked for instructions on how to deal with it. Police Chief Davis immediately became angry, "Assholes, immediately tell them to stop publicizing that the roads must be kept clear." A police officer next to him said, "Mr. Chief, this is not good. Didn't you see today's news?" Chief Davis said arrogantly: "Why don't I know what news?" "You are just a pig and you don't know about something as big as a pig." The police officer cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to curse out loud. He had to say to Dai Weiss said: "Did you know that yesterday Theodore? President Roosevelt came to our place, right? He was welcoming the emperor of the Chinese Empire. If you don't let them carry out propaganda today, it's not a slap in the face of the Chinese Empire. That's not Lian Xi. Otto? Did President Roosevelt get slapped in the face? We can't stop the Chinese Empire's convoy. Instead, we have to help them carry out propaganda." Police Chief Davis also understood here that he might have done it if it hadn't been for the following words. His position as director was destroyed, so he hurriedly put on a smile and asked: "Then what should we do?" "Isn't it easy to say? According to the president's protocol, use a police car to clear the way for them and keep them safe along the way. Strengthen the police force for protection. As long as there is no trouble, you will have done a great job." Suddenly the phone on the table rang. Davis took out the receiver impatiently, but the voice coming from inside made him stand at attention immediately: "Yes, yes, mayor. Sir, we have made arrangements to ensure that there will be no accidents." "You must promise that if your job is not effective, I will not mind changing the police chief." "Mr. Mayor, I will definitely not do it. "It's a little bit of a problem." "Okay, then hurry up and execute it." Davis wiped the cold sweat on his face. He almost lost his position as director. He looked down with gratitude. Police officer: "Do a good job and I will promote you. I think the director of the Fourth Branch should be changed." "Thank you, director, for your cultivation." The police officer straightened his chest and laughed in his heart. Soon several police cars sounded their sirens.Speeding away outside. The people on the promotional truck didn't know that there was such a small episode in it. Anyway, the more people watching the propaganda, the better. The more people, the more people who beat the drums. If they weren't afraid of affecting the image of their country abroad, they would probably They had already taken off their shirts, but now their backs were already soaked. Because the road was blocked, the promotional vehicle stopped and they started performing locally. The most attractive one was the magician. I saw him shaking his hand and conjuring a flower, and then shaking his hand again, another dove appeared. The crowd cheered and he threw the dove into the air. The dove flapped its wings and flew away. A girl was singing in a car. She was singing "My Motherland", a well-known song from the Chinese Empire. The simple melody soon made some Chinese, overseas Chinese and some people who knew Chinese start humming along. There were several models performing in a car behind. Although the stage was small, their graceful steps and beautiful and elegant clothes attracted many people. Several police cars in front of the road were blaring their sirens desperately. They tried their best and finally reached the front of the advertising vehicle. They came to carry out the orders of the police chief. They led the way and let the advertising vehicle behind them follow. The first one in front was In a police car, a man under Situ Meitang was guiding the way. Normally they would hide away when seeing this group of policemen, but today he sat in the first car and directed the following police cars to move forward. He turned right, left, and faster. Slow down a moment. The usually aloof police officers were listening to his orders very cooperatively like his subordinates. Text Chapter 555 Product Collection Chapter 555 Product Collection Chapter 555 Product Collection The effect of the advertisement was quickly realized. Immediately, someone came to visit the residence of the Chinese Empire Business Delegation. The goods were already on the shelves, and they were for sale. They were not like now. Those people were naturally very happy when they saw the buyers coming to the door. Someone immediately went to receive them. In today's terms, they are called shopping guides. But in fact, no one knew that when someone came, someone would receive them. This girl knew English, and she wouldn't have been the first one to greet her. She skillfully introduced to the guests in English the various commodities brought by the Chinese Empire, including canned food, pork, beef, etc. There are also various fish biscuits, candies, etc. There are also some distinctive Jinhua ham, Yunnan ham, etc. In addition, tea that has long been famous abroad has already been smelled by people as soon as they get close to it. Those who are good at doing business have already prepared the boiling water. There are more than a dozen traditional Chinese Empire-style tureens and cups in front of them. The tea leaves have been put in. As soon as the water is washed down, the smell comes out. Soon the hall is filled with tea leaves. There was also a seat in front of the aroma, and someone immediately greeted them and asked them to sit down and taste it. Some people picked up the cup and took a sip and immediately felt that every pore on their body was so comfortable. This is much better than the coffee they often drink. Do you want to change and start drinking tea in the future? In front is the liquor area. Those exquisite packages have already attracted people. At this time, a waiter opened a bottle of liquor and introduced it to people. As he explained the taste of liquor and the corresponding liquor knowledge, they also entered their minds. In their hearts, this forced them to accept the wine culture of the Chinese Empire, which had a long history. Naturally, the most popular items for women are clothing. All kinds of clothes are hung there, including Tang suits, suits, all kinds of skirts, long and short for summer, warm skirts for winter, and special styles. skirt. Numerous gold and silver jewelry are attracting the attention of those ladies. Gold and silver products are nothing, but if you add the traditional craftsmanship of the Chinese Empire, it will be much more beautiful. However, they are also rare in things like jade and diamonds. Their eyes were about to sparkle. What women love most is health care products and cosmetics. The place is already crowded with those yellow-haired Western beauties. They are curious about all the products. They see the waiters who have personally tested them and tell them which ones they use. It made their saliva come down. In front are those silks and cloths. The same varieties of products also make those beauties linger. When people arrive at those home appliances, they first feel the wind blowing from the electric fan. In summer, it would be so happy to have this electric fan at home. Once the sweat on your body is blown by the fan, you will feel much better. Even the small and exquisite flashlight is also very popular among people. There are not many people in the front hall. There are a few words in front of the door that say "Hunter's House." It turns out that guns, gunpowder, bows and arrows are sold here. Those guns are for hunting. Can they be used to kill people? But here it is. Not written down. Inside, there are some picture exhibitions, which contain some heavy weapons, but there are even fewer people. But those who are interested will still pay attention here. More St. Louis citizens came here. They visited and saw the dazzling variety of goods from the Chinese Empire. But one thing is that all the goods today are not marked with prices, which means that all the goods today are not for sale but for people to visit. Groups of visitors came one after another until the evening, under the advice of the staff, they stopped visiting and another program was performed below. Everyone who goes out from here can get a small gift package. Inside is a small gift. Li Zhenhua can use any of those advertising techniques in later generations. Inside is a beautifully printed advertisement, which introduces the delegation to people in detail. The advertisements Americans get are not all in English, but also partly in Chinese. After returning home, many people kept this gift. Of course, there are many people here, including Americans, Chinese, overseas Chinese, and others. Of course, even the children and beggars who posted advertisements on the street received some gifts. In the evening, Police Chief Davis became nervous again. It turned out that people below came to report that the business delegation from the Chinese Empire had started setting off fireworks again. This is a craft handed down from the Chinese Empire for thousands of years. Why can't it attract many people from St. Louis to see it? Davis had no choice but to order all police officers to work overtime today to ensure that nothing happens. Davis sat at his desk and said to himself:?Are these people from the Chinese Empire really capable of tormenting them? Will they be finished? " Today is the day of the Chinese Empire. I'm afraid there is no one in St. Louis who doesn't know that the Chinese Empire is coming. During the day, they have been advertising on the streets all day. The fireworks at night have led people's emotions to a new one. " Fireworks are a custom that has been passed down from the Chinese Empire for thousands of years. They are set off every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. No matter how difficult the life of a family is, a few firecrackers are still set off to celebrate the New Year and to drive away the bad luck of the year. In order to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, I heard my grandma say that when I was a child, some people would use sticks to hit things to make noises. This meant that those who had money would spend a lot of money to set off firecrackers. Now the empire is like this. The delegation represents a country's image. In order to attract more people, they have resorted to various tricks. This time, the fireworks were provided by Lidu Town in Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province, and Jinshan Town in Fuzhou. The fireworks in these three places in Liuyang County, Hunan Province all have a long history. Even the final display is very particular. People from the three places discussed how to achieve the best effect. Today's display is also for the Olympics. The opening ceremony of the games gave people a surprise. The dazzling fireworks became a unique scenery and made the ancient city of St. Louis excited. Many people flocked here. They all knew that this was the Emperor of the Chinese Empire and his hardworking people. brought by the subjects. Text Chapter 556 Reward the Chief of Police Chapter 556: Reward the Chief of Police Chapter 556: Reward the Chief of Police When the citizens of St. Louis arrived here, they found that the business delegation of the Chinese Empire was holding a theatrical performance here. Although they did not understand the language, they still saw the most outstanding culture and art in the world. The charm of each performance on stage can get people's warm applause. Late at night, the first day's work was over. Li Zhenhua and his wives were exhausted. They lay down on the big bed and there was no image left. The Americans knew about the people of the Chinese Empire, and these few people also really knew that the Americans too. Just as enthusiastic. Yaqi was praising the American police for being so interesting and serving us all day long. Police cars were clearing the way all day long. We are quite majestic in the United States today, and they don¡¯t rest at night. At night, they still come to maintain order for us, Yaqi said. : "Tomorrow I want to reward the police chief of St. Louis for his contribution to our work." Wang Xin said: "They are not good birds. They were honest as soon as our husband came. Listen to Yan Boyu, they just came. Those policemen at that time were so good that their eyes were looking up to the sky when they saw the people of our Chinese Empire. They were really nothing." But Li Zhenhua said: "No, since they have helped us work, we have to reward them. We can't look at them. We are too short-sighted. We have a lot of work in the future, so they should have a certain favorable impression of us." Jin Xifeng immediately said: "It would be a good idea to praise them and give them some advertising gifts from us." "Okay, I'll just give them some of our advertising gifts tomorrow. It doesn't cost much anyway. Since you don't feel bad, I don't feel bad either." Wang Xin looked dissatisfied and everyone laughed. When Wang Xin saw that people were laughing, she didn't reply but instead asked another question: "Today, I saw that some women didn't look like they were rich, but they were still very interested in those products. I don't know why? " Yaqi and Jin Xifeng also said they felt this way. Li Zhenhua laughed and said to them: "You don't know that in this Western country, people can only marry once in their lives. Men are also different from men in the Chinese Empire. How many times can a man in the Chinese Empire marry? Wives and concubines are not allowed here and can only be monogamous, but they can have many lovers. This is the most common thing in Russia. Ah Xin should know that they even have a Valentine's Day here. " "Although they themselves have a Valentine's Day. They don¡¯t have much money, but their lovers may be rich, so they may buy a lot of consumer goods or luxury accessories for them, so they don¡¯t care what their lovers buy for them, but many lovers don¡¯t make it public. But in some countries it is public. " "Isn't that a mess? " " Isn't it a mess? " Several women are very dissatisfied with this and such things? It's incredible. The waiter knocked on the door gently and they brought some late-night snacks for a few people. A few people simply ate a little and talked about tomorrow's work. The sales of goods will start tomorrow. People will not give up and must be careful not to cause any problems. They rested quickly and now they don¡¯t even know the impact of jet lag. The sun is rising. The sun in St. Louis is the same as in the east. People get up early. Everyone is ready to start the sales work today. The price tags have been put up last night. They are just waiting to open the door to sell goods. There is a sign above the door. A large plaque has several large characters on it: "Sales Office of the Chinese Empire Business Delegation". However, these large characters are now blocked by a piece of red silk. The unveiling ceremony will be held soon. Those people sent by Situ Meitang were guarding the door. They were afraid that someone would come to cause trouble. They didn't know that if there was a fight, His Majesty's security forces would not be afraid of anyone. In the morning, someone had already given a "gift" to the Chief of Police of St. Louis, which is a small gift for everyone in the overall situation. Chief Davis was extremely happy to have a good relationship with His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. The mayor would definitely be happy. Then your career will be smooth. When he heard the news that he would start selling goods today, he put on a new police uniform and ran over in person, standing in front of the gate with his big belly and his police officers also standing in line. The roadside and the square in front of the door were full of onlookers, people were waiting for the moment the doors opened. How many cars stopped in front of the door, Henry? Mr. Ford appeared again. When he arrived, he first greeted the mayor and then asked a waiter: "Miss, where is your emperor? I want to see him." That little girl has seen him several times. Knowing that he was his client, he immediately said to him: "Mr. Henry Ford, please come with me."? Henry? Ford immediately followed her in without even looking at the police chief standing in front of the door. After entering the door, the little girl pointed towards the distance: "Your Majesty is right there, please come over." Henry? Ford thanked Li Zhenhua and walked over to Li Zhenhua. When they met, he couldn't help but exchange greetings and politeness. Then he said directly to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your performance last night was so outstanding. I want to order three million US dollars from you." Fireworks From now on, I will set off the fireworks of the Chinese Empire to celebrate any important celebration I have." Li Zhenhua was also very happy when he saw that the business was not open yet. Can he be unhappy that the business came to the door? He immediately waved to a guard and said to him: "Immediately take Mr. Henry Ford to the fireworks team and let them treat Henry Ford at the best price. This is an old customer of ours, and he will be a long-term customer of yours." "At this time, some people wearing long gowns came over one after another. They were people who came to give gifts. They all entered the gate next to them. They first handed the gifts in their hands to the reception staff in front of the door. It is a traditional method because most of them are Chinese or owners or managers of overseas Chinese enterprises, or managers of some large companies. Congratulations must be expressed to the people of the Chinese Empire for the opening of their business. After all, they are all our own people and they all speak Chinese. No matter where we meet, we will naturally be more cordial than with other people. Regardless of whether the emperor is here, they are all If you have to give a gift, no matter how big or small it is, it is your own intention. The etiquette between them still prefers to hold hands across each other instead of shaking hands like Westerners do when meeting. Text Chapter 557 The shopping mall opens Chapter 557 The opening of the shopping mall Chapter 557 The opening of the shopping mall Naturally, someone served them tea at the back. The receptionist handed their gifts and gifts to a table where someone was registering for a while. After the ceremony, they would be invited. Went to a restaurant for dinner. "" At the same time, they will get a special gift, which is an address book with the production units, addresses, and names of various domestic products specially prepared for them by the Ministry of Commerce. With such a product directory, they can ask Any domestic enterprise or merchant who orders products can save a lot of money by directly remitting the payment there without having to remit money domestically. Some visitors were moved to tears. This product name helped them a lot. With such a product directory, they can know all the domestic conditions. They must know that if they want to find a profitable product, it will cost a lot. Sometimes you can't find it no matter how much money you spend, but now the Ministry of Commerce of the empire has prepared all these for itself. Our motherland has not forgotten us. They will always care for these overseas wanderers. The firecrackers in front of the door started to sound. The big drums were beating and the suonas were blowing. The drums and horns of the military band also sounded. The celebration was about to begin. People participating in the opening ceremony came to the square in front of the door as the host. Yan Boyu stood in front of the microphone and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, friends, distinguished guests, the opening ceremony of the delegation of the Ministry of Commerce of the Empire of China to participate in the International Expo will now begin." There was warm applause at the venue. People participating in the meeting were happy. The ground shouted, and even the people standing in the outer circle cheered together. "Raise the flag of the Empire of China and play the national anthem of the Empire of China." The navy's military band played the national anthem of the Empire of China. Two members of the honor guard raised the national flag amid the music. Everyone present stood in awe and paid attention. The soldiers raised their hands and saluted the national flag together. This is incomparable. An exciting moment. I believe that every Chinese and overseas Chinese will firmly remember in their hearts that the Chinese Empire has stood up. The Chinese Empire is no longer the weak and bullied country in the past. In the future, it will appear in the world as a powerful country. "Please give a speech by the Queen of the Chinese Empire." People immediately burst into warm applause again. When Wang Xin came to the rostrum, she spoke to the people present in proficient English. Although her speech was short, it was very inspiring. The Queen's speech made everyone present never forget that the Chinese Empire would be a powerful country economically in the future. And this powerful country will make progress together with all countries in the world to make its subjects richer. ¡°Now we are cutting the ribbon and inviting His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire to unveil the plaque.¡± Li Zhenhua stepped forward and gently pulled the rope. The piece of red silk fell down and several large characters appeared, ¡°Sales Office of the Chinese Empire Business Delegation.¡± Yan Boyu continued to read the list of distinguished guests for the ribbon cutting: Mr. Henry Situ Meitang, President of the Chinese Empire in America Business Association? Mr. Ford, Mr. Mayor of St. Louis, Mr. Johnson, President of the American branch of Xinghua Group, and other celebrities came to the podium one after another. A long red ribbon was already lying across there, and there was a red flower at intervals. A dozen or so dressed-up girls held a plate in their hands with a pair of scissors on it. As the scissors in people's hands cut, the firecrackers sounded again. All the musical instruments gave out their strongest sounds. The celebration ended, and the onlookers entered the exhibition hall for business. The event officially started. Those Chinese, overseas Chinese, and some customers who had long-term contacts with the Chinese Empire were all invited to dine, while ordinary citizens entered the hall and started their own shopping activities. Li Zhenhua attended the banquet and toasted the guests before leaving early. The work here was progressing very smoothly, but it has come to an end now. He has to go to the sports delegation to have a look. There is also a battlefield there. There is no room for negligence. The enthusiastic citizens of St. Louis were attacked by the Chinese Empire's advertising campaign. They came to the Chinese Empire's commodity exhibition area. The cargo of a 10,000-ton giant ship was enough for them to buy. Soon, some people bought the goods inside and everyone came out. They all have a beautiful packaging bag with advertisements written in Chinese and English. The people who came out all had smiles on their faces. They bought products from a foreign country, and they couldn't easily buy them in the United States. Can they be unhappy? And what they said through their mouths is that the results are better than the advertisements, and it will be available soon. More shopping crowds entered here. When other countries participating in the World Expo saw such an advertising war by the Chinese Empire, they also came. Their original purpose was just to promote their own products, but they did not expect that the Chinese Empire was really?It is selling goods and the Chinese Empire is advertising based on the strength of a country. This is not on the same level at all. The U.S. government also strongly supports their arrival, but they will never treat them like people from the Chinese Empire because they themselves are not good enough. The most senior official of their country is only an official from the Ministry of Commerce, but the Chinese Empire is a The supreme head of the country. The products of other countries are all in the form of individuals, but the Chinese Empire appears in the form of a country. Let¡¯s talk about those products. Liquor that has been stored for several hundred dollars for many years is said to be opened as soon as it is opened, but in other countries it is not possible. The long-distance expenses, personnel expenses, and the price of the goods have doubled several times. Not only are they less, the prices are even more shocking. However, all the expenses of the Chinese Empire were borne by the state. Road transportation, sea transportation, all advertising expenses, personnel expenses, etc. were all borne by the state. Although the price was more than double that in China, it was relatively higher than other countries. The price is much lower in other countries. This refers to mass commodities. If they are special commodities, especially commodities that others do not have, then you can accept as much as I quote. Some high-quality cosmetics and clothing, and some Chinese patent medicines with the characteristics of the Chinese Empire. There is absolutely no discussion. Text Chapter 558 The Olympic Games begins Chapter 558 The Olympic Games has begun. Chapter 558 The Olympic Games has begun. Seeing those Americans rushing to buy those goods as if they were free of charge, everyone was so happy that they couldn¡¯t close their mouths. Even Wang Xin, a business wizard, did what she did to Li Zhenhua. She was also a little scared, but now she is really convinced. It turns out that advertising can have such a powerful power, and people come one after another as if they are getting free things. Later, because too many people came, Wang Xin, Yaqi and Jin Xifeng discussed and started to control the number of people entering. How many people came out and how many people were let in. They could no longer enter casually. If anyone came in again, they would probably squeeze out lives. ?The president of the International Olympic Committee at this time is Pierre of France? Virtue? Baron Coubertin (186337) In the original time and space, he was born in France in 1863 and died in Geneva in 1937. He became a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1894 and 1896. He served as the Secretary-General of the International Olympic Committee in 1896 and 25 years. The second president of the International Olympic Committee retired in 1925 as honorary president of the International Olympic Committee. In the original time and space, US President Theodore was at the opening and closing ceremonies of the third Olympic Games? Roosevelt and International Olympic Committee President Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin will not attend, but the appearance of Li Zhenhua has changed this period of history. Because the Emperor of the Chinese Empire came to Theodore? Roosevelt also had to consider attending the Olympics and Pierre? Virtue? Mr. Baron Coubertin also hurriedly came from France. He had to put aside everything. After a long period of struggle, he wanted to promote this Olympic movement to the whole world. Now the most populous country in the world has sent powerful athletes. It is absolutely a good thing that the team came to participate and His Majesty the Emperor also came to participate in person. How could I, the chairman of the Olympic Movement, not participate. When he arrived in the United States, it was already August 28th, Pierre? Virtue? As soon as Baron Coubertin arrived in St. Louis, he immediately asked his staff to lead him to visit His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. They did not find His Majesty the Emperor at the delegation's residence. When they heard that he had gone to the training ground, he found the Chinese Empire's delegation again. Where is Pierre's training ground? Virtue? Baron Coubertin finally met His Majesty Li Zhenhua, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. The two first shook hands and then hugged affectionately. Li Zhenhua invited him to his residence. The two had a pleasant conversation. Li Zhenhua expressed some of his own opinions and suggestions on the current Olympic Games. This made Pierre? Virtue? Baron de Coubertin was greatly inspired. Pierre? Virtue? When Baron Coubertin saw that His Majesty the Emperor was very concerned about sports, he confided in His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire some of the difficulties existing in the Olympic movement at that time. Li Zhenhua generously donated a sum of money to the Olympic Committee in the name of the country. The cash was used as support for their work and also expressed gratitude to the Chinese Empire for taking the initiative to help build the competition venue. Li Zhenhua took the initiative to build the venue just to separate the sports area from the auditorium. Otherwise, where would those billboards be placed? In fact, this was for his own advertising, and Pierre, who didn't have these facilities, originally? Virtue? Baron de Coubertin thought that Li Zhenhua was thinking about the Olympics. From then on, it became a necessary condition to separate the venue and the audience. Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin also adopted some of Li Zhenhua's suggestions, such as setting off fireworks at the opening ceremony and letting the drum troupe of the Chinese Empire enter the venue for entertainment. There are also some suggestions on some competition regulations. Of course, Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin admired His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. He knew so much. Otherwise, how could he become the emperor of the most populous country? July 1, 1904 finally arrived. On this night, the third Olympic Games officially opened. At the top of the venue, 13 national flags of various countries were flying high in the air. Sitting in front of the rostrum is Pierre, the president of the International Olympic Committee? Virtue? Mr. Baron de Coubertin, His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and His Majesty Theodore, President of the United States of America? Mr. Roosevelt and other key NMPA officials. There are only 13 participating countries in this Olympic Games, which is the smallest number of participating units in the Olympic Games so far. Due to the high cost of travel across the ocean and concerns about the increasingly tense situation between China and Russia in the Far East, people are mainly worried about the development of maritime wars. Many European countries, including France, did not attend. Only 7 countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece, Norway, Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland sent European teams with a total of only 41 people to participate. Some of the players from these countries were expatriates living in the United States. or international students. In addition to Europe, the other five teams are the host United States and Cuba, Canada, Australia, and South Africa and the Chinese Empire, which are participating for the first time. There are 725 athletes participating this time, including 533 from the United States and 100 from the Chinese Empire. There are 38 female athletes from the United States and 8 from the Chinese Empire. Since other countriesThere are less than 100 athletes in total, so some events such as tennis and water polo are almost exclusively American. No wonder people call this Olympic Games the American Games. Tonight, the people of the Chinese Empire stole the show again. The first person to appear was the delegation of the Chinese Empire. They were wearing Chinese clothes with their own national style, especially those female athletes. The clothing has attracted the attention of many Americans. The clothes are cut appropriately and worn on the body, perfectly reflecting the female figure. The flag bearer walking at the front was tall and thick. He waved the dragon flag in his hand to express his respect to everyone present. There were also some athletes with yellow hair and blue eyes in the ranks of the Chinese Empire, which made some foreigners feel very sad. It's strange but they don't know that these people are citizens with the nationality of the Chinese Empire. It¡¯s not interesting to see sports from other countries. The last host, the delegation of the United States of America, also received cheers from the audience when they came out. At the same time as the entrance ceremony, the fireworks of the Chinese Empire started to launch without losing the opportunity, lighting up the entire venue. No words can express the night view of St. Louis today. After the entrance ceremony, there were theatrical performances by artistic groups from the United States and the Chinese Empire. The performance with strong Chinese imperial characteristics allowed people of all colors to enjoy this highest-level performance. Text Chapter 559 Winning the Gold Medal Chapter 559: Winning the Gold Medal Chapter 559: Winning the Gold Medal The Olympic competition officially started on July 2. The first competition was the 30-meter freehand pistol shooting. There were more than 30 people participating in the competition. According to the regulations at this time, the preliminaries were first conducted and then the competition continued. Six people entered the finals. During the preliminaries, people knew that the top six were all players from the Chinese Empire. What people didn't expect was that three of them were actually women. It turns out that if there are no women's competitions in today's shooting competitions, there will be no distinction between men and women. So, The three of them directly participated in the competition. After some competition, all three of them actually entered the finals. There were not many people at the venue today, but what is puzzling is that the three queens and concubines of the Chinese Empire appeared in the stands. Obviously women in this era do not like shooting sports, but they showed up. Could it be that the Chinese Empire's Do beauties all like this shooting sport? The three male athletes are Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee, and the other is Li Zhenhua¡¯s guard sharpshooter Zhang Chuan. Now six sharpshooters from the Chinese Empire stood in a row with six targets thirty meters in front of them. I heard a whistle and six people started shooting. I heard a burst of gunfire. In less than a minute, all six people had put down their guns. Why? Shooting completed. Later, some people commented that the least interesting thing about this Olympic Games was the 30-meter pistol shooting competition, and the most exciting thing was also the 30-meter shooting competition. Why? Because people haven't figured it out yet. Those shooters have finished shooting. If you want to see something, then go see something else. At this time, it was the judges' turn to be in trouble. It was easier for me to report the ring numbers. Two ninety-nine rings and two ninety-eight rings. But the ring numbers of the first two people could not be said. That was It turned out that the targets of Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee had smashed the paper at the bullseye, which was basically a hole. However, the referees were a little bit stubborn. They were afraid that the athletes would miss one of their shots. Several people studied for a long time but couldn't make a decision. Later, a female athlete gave an idea, which was to shoot again. This time, instead of shooting targets, she changed to shooting cigarette butts. When the referees heard this method, it was good, and they could do it themselves. Really take a look at what these guys are really made of. This time they were shooting one by one. Anyway, even these two people would not waste much time. So a smoker took out a pack of cigarettes and started shooting again. The first one to hit was Li Xiaohu. He shot at the man named Bruce Lee. He glanced at it and said, "I'll beat you first, just wait and see." That Bruce Lee said, "You're not allowed to cheat, and you must kill them all. Otherwise, I'll punish you when you go back." That Bruce Lee promised, but he still said no. Without haste, he raised the gun in his hand and fired ten shots one after another. The result was that he hit ten cigarette butts. There were not many spectators at the scene, only a few hundred people. They shouted together. They had never. I have seen such a wonderful shooting performance. But Bruce Lee raised his thumb towards Bruce Lee. He took out his gun and walked to the shooting place. The referee had already placed the cigarette butts again. Bruce Lee raised his pistol and fired one shot after another. He couldn't see it. What was he nervous about? The ten shots knocked out ten cigarette butts. People in the audience screamed again, including the empresses and concubines of the Chinese Empire in the VIP box. They really opened their eyes today. They were smoking cigarettes at a distance of thirty meters. Those with bad eyes couldn't even look at them. I don't know. It's amazing that the two players hit all the cigarette butts equally. The people from the Chinese Empire are so good at fighting. If they were on the battlefield, they would be absolutely invincible. This time the referees unanimously decided that both of them had ten rings on the last target, so these two people tied for first place. The problem of the other four people was also solved. Isn't it two ninety-nine rings? Then they tied for second place. The two with ninety-eight rings are tied for third place. Soon IOC President Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin came to the shooting competition field. This was the first gold medal produced in this Olympic Games. He had to personally award the medal. The staff quickly made all the preparations. The three award podiums of high, middle and low were placed in front. Opposite the podium were three red dragon flags of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Imperial Navy Military Band was also standing there. There. Several staff members were also ready to put the medals and flowers on the plates. Everything was ready. The announcer at the venue said to the audience in an enthusiastic voice: "The awards for the 30-meter freehand pistol shooting competition of the Third Olympic Games will be awarded." The ceremony begins now." A Chinese broadcaster sitting on the side repeated her original words in Chinese and then the ceremony began: "The third place is the athletes of the Chinese Empire, Zhong Hui and Li Lan. Please come on stage." The girl got on the lowest table Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin stepped forward and took the two copper coinsTags were hung around the girls' necks and an Olympic Committee member presented them with two bouquets of flowers. "The second place winners are Chinese Empire athletes Ling Yun and Zhang Chuan. Please come on stage." Two athletes, one female and one male, walked onto the stage Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin stepped forward and hung the two silver medals around the necks of the two athletes while an Olympic Committee member gave them two bouquets of flowers. "The first place winner is the Chinese Empire athletes Li Buhu and Bruce Lee. Please come on stage." The two young athletes walked onto the podium. The queen and concubine of the Chinese Empire who were sitting in the VIP box stood up excitedly. They waved to the athlete who won the first place. The queen also blew a kiss. The whole audience thought they were happy for their athlete. Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin stepped forward again. He raised the gold medal in his hand and was about to put it on the athletes. When he was stunned, the man named Bruce Lee standing in front of him turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. . "Mr. Baron, please don't let others know." Li Zhenhua smiled and said to the chairman of the Olympic Committee that he participated in the competition purely for fun. "Dear Your Majesty, I really didn't expect it to be you. This surprised me so much. I thank you. Support for the World Olympic Movement. For your safety, I can keep it a secret for you now, but I will announce it to the media when I get back." After that, he bowed to Li Zhenhua to express his gratitude and then hung the gold medal around Li Zhenhua's neck. He also gave Li Zhenhua a bouquet of flowers. Li Zhenhua vs. Pierre? Virtue? Baron Coubertin smiled to show his understanding. The sweet voice of the female announcer came from the radio: "Everyone please stand up and play the national anthem of the Empire of China." Text Chapter 560 Winning the Gold Medal (2) Chapter 560: Winning the Gold Medal (2) Chapter 560: Winning the Gold Medal (2) The Chinese Empire won the first gold medal in this Olympic Games. This was also the first gold medal the Chinese Empire won in an international sports event. This is quite impressive. Haifeng won his first gold medal at the 23rd Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984, eighty years ahead of schedule. The entire Chinese Empire sports delegation was very excited. They won four gold medals, three silver medals and two bronze medals in one shooting event. Li Zhenhua specially asked people to celebrate together. Everyone drank a lot and everyone said that they would like it in the future. As long as there are athletes from the Chinese Empire participating in the competition, everyone will cheer for them. Other competitions were fierce competition. In the swimming competition, Mu Xiongxiang won two gold medals alone. In the first 50-meter race, when the opening gunshot sounded, Mu Xiongxiang was a little dizzy when he saw other people. He jumped in after all the people had already entered the water, but as soon as they entered the water they disappeared. It turned out that he just swam to the finish line in one breath and immediately won the first place. People in the audience immediately cheered. This athlete from the Chinese Empire was so interesting. He actually won the first place by diving. But the matter was not over yet. When he heard the sound of the gunshot during the 100-meter run, he jumped down immediately. In just two breaths, he swam to the finish line and won the gold medal again. This is how he practiced swimming upstream in the North Canal. But it¡¯s not just bragging. However, an American athlete who was ranked second lodged a protest. They believed that diving should not be used in this kind of competition. They believed that diving was not acceptable and demanded that Mu Xiongxiang's results be cancelled. The members of the Olympic Committee will convene immediately. The meeting was held for discussion, but all the committee members unanimously opposed his proposal and believed that Mu Xiongxiang's results were no problem. No matter what method was used to reach the finish line as quickly as possible, it was inevitable that he would be first. There was nothing worthy of objection. The women¡¯s archery competition also went very smoothly. Four of the six female athletes participating in the finals were athletes from the Chinese Empire. They took the top three places without hesitation. The method of the archery competition is also very interesting. In order to facilitate the calculation of results, the referees did not remove the arrows shot on the target in time. However, the female champion from the Chinese Empire had an arrow that was shot at the tail of the arrow in front. Originally, the second arrow was about to fly in this situation, but due to her strong strength and accuracy, she pushed the previous arrow out at once, but the second arrow was inserted into the target. People cheered. I had never seen such an arrow hit the target after being disturbed during flight. It was amazing. This also made people marvel. This immediately stopped the telescope exhibition in the Chinese Empire Business Delegation because people rushed to buy their telescopes. It only took half a day for hundreds of telescopes to be sold out. It turned out that people did not expect that this telescope would be used at all. The products were sold so quickly that the people in the delegation apologized to those customers who came late and said that the goods would arrive soon. But what's the point of having the goods in the future? The Olympics would have ended long ago. Just when newspapers were vigorously promoting Li Zhenhua's Olympic gold medal, some heads of state expressed different opinions on which Olympic Games the emperor of the Chinese Empire would go to the United States to participate in. Most people expressed their incomprehension. The emperor ignored the internal affairs of his own country and went to the United States to participate in some irrelevant activities. But the one who was most concerned about this was the Russian Czar Nicholas II. His intelligence officer reported to him that Li Zhenhua had gone to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games. Regarding this information, Nicholas II immediately summoned his subordinates. discussions with relevant personnel. Seeing that his ministers had all arrived, Tsar Nicholas II immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "Everyone, how far is our Far Eastern Railway now?" Nicholas? Nikolayevich? Romanov? At this time, Grand Duke Nicholas was a general of the Russian cavalry and the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II, a reformist general of the Russian army. He replied: "Now the main project of our Far East Railway has been basically completed. Some supporting work includes stations, It will take more than half a year to complete the auxiliary lines, telephone lines, etc. " Nikolai asked his finance minister Sergey? Witte: "My dear Minister of Finance, you are our chief steward. How many rubles do we have left to spend on railways?" Minister of Finance Sergei? Witte thought for a moment and said: "My lord, we have no more rubles that can be used for the railway. This railway has emptied all our wealth." "No, no, no, my dear Lord Witte, the railway cannot be stopped. We must build this railway as soon as possible no matter what. Without it, we cannot attack our neighbor to the south. " Nikolai? Nikolayevich? Romanov? NicoThe Grand Duke of St. Petersburg said on the side: "Dear Mr. Witte, you must solve this problem for Your Majesty. You must complete the railway as soon as possible, because our millions of troops and their large supplies rely on it to transport. If there is no such railway, what will happen to us?" If we can¡¯t send troops as soon as possible, we won¡¯t be able to reclaim our lost territory from the Chinese Empire.¡± Sergey? Witte knew the current economic situation of the Russian Empire. He didn't answer what the Grand Duke said. You are all a bunch of idiots. You should know something about the financial situation of the Empire if you don't know. Now the Empire is relying on the small loan from France to survive. It can't keep doing this. If this continues, the empire will be destroyed sooner or later in your hands. But Tsar Nicholas II said: "My dear Sir, I believe you will be able to solve our problems and complete the railway, right?" Although this is a tone of discussion, it is definitely not discussing with you. This is the emperor's order and must be implemented. Failure to implement it will not work. Sergey? Werther could only nod slightly to show his obedience to the Tsar's order. Tsar Nicholas II continued: "Now the emperor of the Chinese Empire has gone to the United States to participate in that Olympics. I heard that he also won a gold medal in shooting. It is really ridiculous that the emperor is not in his own country but is going to participate in that Olympics. It¡¯s incredible.¡± Text Chapter 561 Undercurrent Chapter 561 Undercurrent Chapter 561 Undercurrent "Based on the experience of the last two Olympic Games, it will not end within half a year. We must increase all preparations for the attack on China in this half year. If the railway is not completed, then one side While transporting and building, we have to start the battle before the emperor of the Chinese Empire comes back. My dear uncle, what do you think?" "I will definitely fight for the honor of Russia." "Then I will fight against China. Here it is, I hope you can bring good luck to our empire. " Another person who is interested in the Emperor of the Chinese Empire is Japan. In a desolate field in Japan, several people were hiding in an underground secret room and they were doing it in secret. Looking at their sneaky looks during the discussion, I knew they were not good people. It turned out that the focus of their discussion was also the matter of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire going to the United States. An old voice said: "Now our country is in the most difficult period. Since we were defeated by them in the Sino-Japanese War of 1994, the emperor's prestige has dropped to a terrible nadir. Most of the people's hearts have been dispersed. Some people have sincerely surrendered to that abominable Chinese Empire. Despite this, we are still unswervingly carrying out our struggle to restore the empire and restore our empire. " "Now we have received secret support from many countries. First of all, the support comes from the most powerful British Empire in the world, the great French Republic, and the United States of America. They have also begun to cooperate with us privately. They have provided us with a large amount of funds and materials. " "But our emperor's soldiers are also there. Work for the British Empire in South Africa and fight the Boers for them," a man said on one side. "Ms. Matsushita, you are really confused. Don't you know the purpose of our soldiers going to South Africa? Isn't it to preserve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers? If we don't cultivate an army on the battlefield, how can we go there to train us?" Any actions of the Chinese Empire will be known by the spies of the Chinese Empire. Aren¡¯t all our naval officers also gone to the navies of those three countries? If not, in the future, the British Empire will support our warships, and who of us will use them? Those warships." "Oh, it can only be like this. The slaves of the subjugated country are not happy. Our years of preparation have been ruined by a young man, and now he has become the emperor of that empire." "So at this point. We must learn from that man. He took an empire into his own hands in just a few years and was able to defeat the Japanese Empire and Russia. We must learn from him on this point. " "I heard that that man recently went to the United States to participate in some Olympics, and he even won the first place in the shooting gold medal, but we don't have such capable officers. If we have such officers, we can smoothly resume the uprising. Our great Japanese Empire." "Don't be discouraged. We will soon take advantage of his absence from the country. We must prepare as soon as possible. When the time is favorable, we will attack them and win. "It belongs to us." "According to the information we got from Britain and France, Russia will soon start a war with the Chinese Empire. They have been preparing for several years. Let's see how they do this time. If they can fight with the Chinese Empire, both sides will suffer. Then our opportunity will come." "You Black Dragon Society, don't act rashly. You must obey His Majesty the Emperor's call. When the time comes, you will be the heroes of the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor has placed high hopes on you. By then, those who will cause chaos to the Empire will come. "The shoguns will be the objects of your sacrificial swords." "In the army, we have also seen a group of young elites who have truly grown up after learning in the war. We have no shortage of generals who will lead the army in the future." "So what is our task now?" "Secretly develop your manpower. Now the Emperor has given you another batch of funds. You must know that His Majesty's daily life is already at the minimum. The Queen no longer has a piece of jewelry. In order to restore her own The country has made a huge sacrifice by driving away the Emperor and the Empress of the Chinese Empire. ¡°The Emperor of the Chinese Empire will not come back until half a year later. We must seize this period and work hard to develop personnel to prepare for our counterattack. "Use the opportunity to be ready to fight them at any time." The people sitting below also said together. Seeing the light in those people's eyes, the old man nodded happily and walked out first in everyone's eyes. They all disappeared into the night. The first and second Olympic Games were marathon-style long-term competitions that lasted for half a year.At this time, not only Japan and Russia judged that the emperor of the Chinese Empire would not be able to return to the country for half a year, but other people also did not think of Li Zhenhua and Pierre? Virtue? After Baron Coubertin had some talks, they had compressed the Olympic schedule to fifteen days. Due to the limited time of the competition, the venue is full, but after all, there are many fewer athletes. For example, in gymnastics competitions, there are more jokes. The referee stood aside and shouted to the audience: "Which one of the following will come on? "There will be one who will play in a while. No matter what the result is, I am participating. Another example is that in the preliminaries of the 400-meter race, two athletes got into a fight. As a result, only one British athlete was left to participate. If not for the three athletes from the Chinese Empire, it would have been a one-man race. As a result, Liu Chunchang from the Chinese Empire won the gold medal, the British won the silver medal, and another athlete from the Chinese Empire won the bronze medal. In the kettlebell throwing competition, a Canadian police officer from Montreal, Etienne? Desmato overcame all American opponents to win, the United States' first taste of defeat in this track and field competition. Desmato was fired from his police department for leaving his post to attend a game. But this order was immediately revoked when he won the championship. Apart from this time, the kettlebell throwing event was only included once again in the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. Decathlon. This event was included in the competition schedule for the first time. Three of the six players competing on one day were Americans. Thomas the Last Irishman in Britain? Kelly took the gold medal from the hosts. The Chinese Empire participated in this event mainly to learn and understand and therefore did not win a medal. Text Chapter 562 Interesting Events The 40-kilometer marathon was the highlight of this Olympic Games. It was a competition involving relatively many athletes. It was the summer in the United States and the weather was very hot. The temperature reached 37 degrees and the race road was full of dust. After the race started, the track was almost packed with crowds, vehicles and more than 30 contestants. The hot weather and dust made people breathless. American athlete Fred? Lotz was running ahead. After running twelve kilometers, his legs suddenly cramped and he couldn't run anymore. He had to stop to rest and then he caught a ride on a passing car. The car pulled him for seventeen kilometers, which was one-third of the way, and he got off the car and continued running forward. As a result, he left behind all the athletes and reached the finish line first. The two thousand spectators gave him warm applause and the band played the American national anthem. President Theodore of the United States? Roosevelt¡¯s daughter Alice? Miss Roosevelt awarded him the medal and photographed him herself. But Thomas, another American runner who ran behind Lotz not long ago? Hicks enters the playing field. So Fred? Lotz's deception was exposed. He defended himself and said: I came to get clothes. As soon as I entered the sports ground, there was such a lively scene. I didn't have time to explain and was recognized as the first. And Thomas? Hicks also broke the rules in the middle. He couldn't run anymore when he was halfway through. His coach gave him two injections in time and gave him a glass of white wine. He ran with the excitement of the white wine. The whole process was over, but just when he was about to go on stage to receive the medal, someone made a report in time. The referees smelled alcohol from his penis, so his ranking was also cancelled. The group behind him was the fourth generation of the Chinese Empire. Athletes finally won medals from first to fourth place. There is another newsmaker worth mentioning in this marathon. Is he Felix from Cuba? Cajal. The postman from Havana had never received any formal long-distance running training, but he had a sense of drive. He relied on the financial support of others to travel from Havana, Cuba to St. Louis when he arrived at his destination, already penniless. When it came time for the marathon, he showed up at the starting line wearing a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and bulky leather boots. An enthusiastic staff member of the Chinese Empire temporarily shortened his shirt sleeves and trouser legs and lent him a pair of competition shoes. At the beginning of the race, he had been running in front. During the middle of the race, he was so hungry and thirsty that he ran into an orchard and ate a few green apples. In a car of the Chinese Empire Sports Delegation behind him, several staff members hurriedly gave him two pieces. Bread and water caused him to fall behind the others but he still finished fifth. Although he is not a champion, his unusual things have become a legend in St. Louis. After the game, Felix? Kahar found the Chinese Empire Sports Delegation where he wanted to return the pair of shoes, but not only did he not return the shoes, he also got two new pairs of shoes. At the same time, his clothes were also replaced with new ones. The Chinese Empire funded his way home and the person who helped him said kindly to him: "Friend, if you want to go to our Chinese Empire in the future, you should go directly to the Chinese Embassy in Cuba and someone will help you there." Felix later? Cajal actually came to live in the Chinese Empire and represented the Chinese Empire in the Fourth Olympic Games. This is a story for another day. ?Archie? Hahn is the best sprinter in the United States. He is known as the Milwaukee Shooting Star. At this Olympics, he set an Olympic record of 21.6 seconds in the men's 200-meter run. This record was maintained for 28 years until it was broken more than 20 years later. He also won the men's 60-meter and 100-meter races and won all gold medals in the three sprint events from 60 meters to 200 meters. People hailed this Olympic Games as the Games where the Milwaukee Meteor shined. ¡. ?A black American college student George? Pogue won a bronze medal each in the 200-meter and 400-meter hurdles. This was the first medal won by a black track and field athlete at the Olympics. Li Zhenhua specially went to present awards to these two athletes. What about George? When Pogue presented the award, he patted him on the shoulder and said to him in English: "The young man is amazing." George? Pogue bowed to the Emperor of the Chinese Empire to express his gratitude. Black people are discriminated against in the United States, but how could he not be grateful when His Majesty the Emperor cared so much about his son? George? Pogue later also came to the Chinese Empire, but he came to the Chinese Empire as a coach. During these fifteen days, the Olympic athletes of the Chinese Empire worked hard and won a total of thirty gold medals in shooting, archery, swimming, sprinting, long-distance running, boxing and other events. The United States won forty gold medals, especially China. Several female athletes in the empire surprised Americans even more. Everyone is very satisfied with the results we have achieved in our first Olympic Games, but this is only one aspect. At that other expo, the Chinese Empire still achieved good results. Due to the good preparations and the advertising campaign under Li Zhenhua's instruction, a large number of products were sold. On the fifth day, the important domestic officials were notified.Newly shipped. This is just a further cooperation agreement signed with a large number of merchants in the United States in terms of retail. The goods that have been signed alone have reached more than 100 million U.S. dollars. Of course, it is not only the Chinese Empire that is happy, but the United States of America is also one of the happiest countries. The tax on imports alone has reached more than 10 million U.S. dollars. They have a Not happy? People in the Chinese Empire will not take dollars back. They will definitely spend the money in the United States, so we can get another tax. Under the propaganda of newspapers, Americans from all over the world came to St. Louis. On the surface, they came to the Olympic Games, but who wouldn¡¯t buy some products from the Chinese Empire? You know, this is rarely seen in normal times, President Theodore of the United States of America? Roosevelt quickly convened his think tank to discuss the huge sports and economic strength of the Chinese Empire. They have all seen that the Chinese Empire is no longer the backward country it was under the Qing government. We must change our view of China. The attitude of the empire is to have friendly relations with them and never discriminate against them again. We need to revise some of the original policies. The most important one is the original "Chinese Exclusion Act", which must be eliminated. If this continues, we will lose. Such a powerful partner is extremely detrimental to the U.S. economy. Text Chapter 563 The Effect of Strong Shock Chapter 563 The Effect of Strong Deterrence Chapter 563 The Effect of Strong Deterrence Baron Pierre de Coubertin found His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. He sincerely asked His Majesty the Emperor when he could go to the Chinese Empire to hold an Olympic Games? Li Zhenhua¡¯s answer was scientific but not entirely diplomatic: ¡°We welcome athletes from all over the world to compete in our Chinese Empire at any time and we will welcome them with the greatest enthusiasm.¡± Baron Pierre de Coubertin said: Li Zhenhua was very happy with his answer. He said to Li Zhenhua: "Dear His Majesty the Emperor, we need to hold a meeting to discuss it. We will meet you again in Beijing soon. Every one of our committee members will always support His Majesty the Emperor for the Olympic Movement." Li Zhenhua said to Baron Pierre de Coubertin: "Well, we will start preparations immediately after we go back. First, we must hold the first national sports meeting to select our best athletes. At the same time, we must also build some venues and pavilions for competitions. We must let athletes from all over the world experience the greatest enthusiasm of all the people of the Chinese Empire. " "If it doesn't work in Beijing, we can still do it in Tianjin and Baoding. In short, we must provide the best environment for all athletes.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. On behalf of all the staff of the International Olympic Committee, I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks to you and your great country. We will hold a meeting as soon as possible and then I will go to Beijing. I will discuss with you the location of the next Olympic Games. At the same time, I have heard many friends mention that the food in the Chinese Empire is also the best in the world. " "Of course, the food culture in our empire has a history of thousands of years. You will be satisfied when the time comes.¡± The Third Olympic Games finally concluded its entire schedule and held a grand closing ceremony on the evening of the 16th. On this night, the performance units of the Chinese Empire once again took the stage to perform for the American people. There were many more people at the closing ceremony of their favorite cultural program than at the opening ceremony. There were only two thousand people at the opening ceremony, and many of them were staff members attending the conference. But the closing ceremony is different. There are more than 8,000 people coming tonight. Since the current Olympic Games are just simple competitions, there is no box office revenue at all. The city of St. Louis is only fulfilling its obligations. Since it does not sell tickets, then It is difficult to estimate the specific number of people. It is only estimated that 8,000 people attended the closing ceremony. Many people came here to see the fireworks display of the Chinese Empire again. Sure enough, they achieved their goal. This unforgettable scene will be remembered by people forever. At the same time, the performances performed by the literary and artistic workers of the Chinese Empire are also something they cannot forget. Especially the chorus "Serving the Country with Loyalty" was sung by a male voice at the beginning, but later the Chinese people present began to get excited. Those who knew how to sing naturally began to sing, and those who couldn't sang began to hum: The dragon is rolling, the horse is neighing, the energy of the sword is like frost, the heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River, twenty years apart, who can resist, the hatred is crazy, the sword is directed, how many loyal souls of brothers and sisters are buried in a foreign country, why would they die to repay their family and country, can't bear to sigh and regret, and even more speechless, blood and tears. Eyes full, horses hoofing to the south, people looking north, people looking north, the grass is green and yellow, the dust is flying, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the borders, and a dignified China will bring congratulations from all directions. There is also the song "My Motherland" with its beautiful and simple melody that makes people quickly fall in love with each other. Joined the chorus. Another aspect of the large number of people is that there are many Chinese and overseas Chinese, who also account for a large proportion. They used to keep their heads down and make money, but this time their emperor came and provided many businesses with better opportunities to make money. They all came to see the emperor again. Not only at the venue, but also after the closing ceremony, they also held a "carnival night". The wine was liquor from the Chinese Empire. Summer nights were very cool and people sat outside all night. People in the Chinese Empire were different from Westerners. Westerners' carnivals are meant to be noisy, but more Chinese and overseas Chinese don't vent like Westerners do. They just invite some people to sit together, drink, chat, and tell what's on their mind whether they know them or not. friends. It turns out that Chinese people in the United States lived at the bottom. Now we people in the Chinese Empire have to stand up in the world with our heads held high. They have seen that the president of the United States is respectful to his emperor. At the same time, many Americans have changed their attitude towards them and begun to treat them. When they are polite, their status is improved. From now on, we will never be despised by those people again. They will respect us.?. There were many ridiculous scenes among these happy crowds, including those who cried and those who laughed. There were also singers and people who danced like Westerners. Of course, there were some who were already drunk and didn¡¯t know what was going on. There were also people who were vomiting out the alcohol in their stomachs regardless of location, which made the people next to them very unhappy. . In the hotel where Li Zhenhua lived, Situ Meitang and Johnson sat in Li Zhenhua's room. Their own experiences were complicated. If Johnson hadn't been helped by Li Zhenhua, he would have been a bankrupt person. But with Li Zhenhua's help, he had already become bankrupt. He has become an upper class person in the United States and has his own branches in dozens of states across the United States. Although he is working for the Xinghua Group, his personal wealth has also been rising in a straight line in the past few years. If it were not for this situation in front of him, It's hard to say what His Majesty, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, is like, so he will still be tied to Li Zhenhua for the rest of his life. Situ Meitang also has the same mentality as Johnson. Without the help of His Majesty the Emperor, he would have had a very difficult time. But with the help of the Emperor, he and his brothers have already gained a large market, and he has also helped a lot. The status of Chinese and overseas Chinese in the United States has been quietly rising. I believe it will be better in the future. It wasn't until midnight that Li Zhenhua sent the two of them away. Li Zhenhua was a little tired today, but today was the happiest day. Just this morning, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt personally told him that the government of the United States of America had decided to revise and implement it. After many years of the "Chinese Exclusion Act", both the government and the private sector must regard the people of the Chinese Empire as their friends. They are the friendly economic partners of the United States of America. Text Chapter 564 I want to fight for the Chinese Empire Chapter 564 I want to fight for the Chinese Empire Chapter 564 I want to fight for the Chinese Empire It wasn¡¯t until midnight that Li Zhenhua sent the two of them away. Li Zhenhua was a little tired today, but today is the happiest day. Just today. President Theodore of the United States in the morning? Roosevelt has personally told him that the government of the United States of America has decided to amend the "Chinese Exclusion Act" that has been implemented for many years. After that, both the government and the private sector will regard the Chinese Empire as their friends. They are the friendly economic partners of the United States of America. Theodore? Roosevelt's proposal has been submitted to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and is expected to be passed soon because His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire and his subjects have left a good impression on the American people. If anyone will discriminate against Chinese and overseas Chinese in the future, it will be Violates U.S. law. Li Zhenhua finally let go of a burden in his heart. He has worked so hard in the United States just to give the Americans a look in terms of momentum and momentum. Only when the Chinese Empire becomes stronger can others admire you. If you want others to admire you, It can only be due to your own strength. On the contrary, if you are weak, even if you go to ask others, they will not pay attention to you. At this time, Li Zhenhua's three wives finally understood why Li Zhenhua put so much effort into this sports competition and expo. It was not just about winning a few gold medals at the Olympic Games or how many products he sold in the United States. The purpose is to promote our country's prestige, just like the chorus at the venue just now, "The great China wants to be congratulated by all quarters." The couples can finally relax and sit together to have a rest. The children have already gone to bed. We sat together and enjoyed the family affection. Today we can finally stop talking about work and tomorrow we will return to our home countries. After saying that, several people went to Li Zhenhua's big bed. No one of the three ladies paid attention to their own image for so many days. They always have to maintain the image of the mother of the country in front of others, but today they can finally liberate these three people. Since then, they have surrendered. Those Taoist priests thought they were invincible after using the medicine, but after they asked their husbands to take the medicine, they felt a little regretful. They really shouldn't have let him take the medicine. Seeing how energetic he was, there was no problem with a few more. . In this open country, they also want to open up. Several people smiled at Li Zhenhua and said, "How about it? The three of us are going to have a car battle with you today, are you okay?" "Whether it works or not depends on the outcome of the war. If not, you can come over together." Li Zhenhua smiled maliciously. Wang Xin also smiled and said: "You're welcome, sisters, let's go up together." After saying that, she rushed forward first. No one knows the outcome of the battle, but the emperor was still so energetic the next day, so he knew that the car battle between the three people was probably not going well. After returning to San Francisco, the two delegations still boarded the cruise ship. After a few days of sailing, they arrived in Honolulu. After completing the supplement, Li Zhenhua had already got off the cruise ship. He took Jin Xifeng to the cruiser, where they were about to separate. People want to return to their motherland, but Li Zhenhua wants to take advantage of this opportunity to stop by the Philippines and the Lanfang Republic below him. I had no chance to come out before. This time I want to come here to see my own territory, but I have never seen it. This is a bit unreasonable. Now I don¡¯t have to rush back. Although the intelligence department has reported some actions of Japan and Russia, Li Zhenhua knows that he The generals under my command will definitely take care of things. Wang Xin and Yaqi were unwilling to separate from Li Zhenhua, but they had a lot of work waiting for them to do, so they had to continue returning to their motherland. They had a lot to do. First of all, these athletes who won gold medals in the Olympic Games must be given heavy rewards. These are the highest-level technical talents. They must be in their own hands. They cannot be like in the future, and most of the outstanding talents have escaped. When it comes to table tennis competitions, it is Chinese people beating Chinese people. Just watch. Almost all of them are yours. Brothers and sisters. If a country ensures that it is strong, then this situation is unlikely to occur. In addition, through this Olympic Games, it is possible to poach talents from other countries, such as the black athlete. He will not stay in the United States because the current United States People are very discriminatory towards black people, and no one wants to survive in that environment. Look at how great our country is. No matter what race or color you are, you will not be discriminated against in our Chinese Empire. Didn¡¯t the white boxing champion illustrate this problem? This year's 75kg boxing champion Ivanov is a former Russian prisoner of war. Due to his good work in our empire, he was quickly released from prisoner of war status and became an official citizen of the Chinese Empire and married a The beautiful girl from the Chinese Empire is married and he already has a mixed-race little daughter named Li.??That. This time he was participating in the competition on behalf of the Chinese Empire. After he defeated all his opponents, His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire personally presented him with an award, hung a gold medal around his neck and shook hands with him. His Majesty the Emperor said to him: " Thank you for winning this gold medal for us." When His Majesty the Emperor said "Thank you" to him, Ivanov shed tears of joy. A good-hearted British female reporter interviewed him afterwards and asked him: "Mr. Ivanov, the Chinese Empire was originally your enemy. They abused you in the prison camp. Why do you still want to represent them in the competition now?" "Miss reporter, I don't know why you are talking to me. I can only tell you that you don't understand the situation at all. First of all, in Russia, I am a slave, do you understand? A person who can be bullied but has no human rights." . But after we entered the prisoner-of-war camp, we learned what human rights were. We were not abused but respected, and I quickly obtained the rights of a citizen in the Chinese Empire. Now I am a workshop worker at the Shenyang Heavy Machinery Factory in the Chinese Empire. Director, there are many Han people under my command. We work together like brothers. "Do you know what brothers are? You may not understand, but what I can tell you is if. Once the Russian army invades my country, I will pick up the gun again and fight those Russian soldiers on the battlefield. I will also call on more people to come to our Chinese Empire.¡± Ivanov¡¯s words were understood on the spot. Many people applauded. Some of these applauses were from the United Kingdom and the United States. Their conversations were published by other reporters in newspapers, allowing many people to learn more about the Chinese Empire. Text Chapter 565 Bonuses that cannot be distributed Chapter 565 Bonuses that cannot be distributed Chapter 565 Bonuses that cannot be distributed Wang Xin and Yaqi started working on the cruise ship returning to China. First, they must distribute bonuses to these gold medal winners. The emperor has to take care of things that he does not care about. Just get up and let the husband go and do his own thing. Let them take care of the matter. The sisters can just discuss it. The gold medal winner will get a huge bonus of 100,000 yuan each. The silver medal will be 50,000 yuan each. The bronze medal will be 20,000 yuan each. The rest, as long as you are ranked, all have this. Yaqi calculated that there are as many as five million. ""() Where does the bonus come from? Of course, this problem arises from the royal fund. They don't need to tell Li Zhenhua, they just know it. At the same time, their work must be rearranged. The Olympic Games will definitely be held in the Chinese Empire. They have already seen Pierre? Virtue? The expression of Baron de Coubertin must have known that the current Olympic Games was not the later Olympic Games. It turned out that he was just fulfilling some obligations and had no income at all. But Li Zhenhua, who knew the situation of future generations, must make his country's first Olympic Games a huge one. These changes will allow countries and cities in the future to compete for the right to host the Olympic Games, so that the Olympic movement will become more alive in the future. However, we must also make some corresponding preparations for this. These gold medal winners will be able to participate in competitions after the year and stay to continue training. At the same time, we must also let them lead their apprentices to establish physical education departments in several major universities to specialize in physical education research and teaching. In the future, these people will be researchers, professors or students in universities. In order to consider the future Olympic Games, we need to build some competition venues and halls accordingly. For example, this swimming competition is too bad. The starting point of the athletes is actually in the water because the Americans put the starting point of the competition on a wooden raft. After six people stood side by side on it, the raft did not have that much buoyancy. As a result, the water had already covered the athletes' calves, and the athletes could only start in the water. So we are going to build a swimming pool. There is also a large competition venue. If the venues of several universities are not big enough, then build new ones in several big cities. It should not only be used for competitions, but also consider allowing ordinary people to exercise. The emperor has said To promote sports for all, we need to strengthen physical exercise and enhance people's physical fitness. When I go back, I have to catch Liang Qichao and ask him, as the Minister of Culture and Education, to add sports. If that doesn't work, just let Gu Yu be the deputy minister in charge of this sports work. There is also the matter of commercial work. After the market is opened in the United States this time, we must firmly grasp this area. There is no word "dumping" yet, but if your own products enter the United States, it is beneficial to you, so you must persist and never give up halfway. . The two of them also divided their work. Wang Xin was responsible for the business work that he was more familiar with, while Yaqi had to be responsible for the sports work. The cruise ship arrived in Shanghai soon and then took the emperor's special train to Beijing. In Shanghai and Tianjin, these athletes were warmly welcomed by the local people. The docks and stations at the port were full of slogans and banners welcoming the sports delegation. What the athletes who won the gold medals didn't expect was that they found their relatives here. You know, this is very far away. Some people's homes are thousands of miles away from here. The emperor specially asked people to pick them up. It's almost here. They haven't seen each other for half a year. They all believe in their relatives. These people have made great contributions to the empire, so they should be allowed to see their relatives earlier. This is also a reward. Then the family members also boarded the special train back to Beijing. They were also going to Beijing with their relatives. When they arrived in Beijing, they were greeted by Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang and others from the Government Affairs Council. There were countless ordinary people standing there to welcome them outside the station. The limousine passed through the welcoming crowd and soon they were sent to Beijing. In the best hotel. It was only when they got here that they truly felt: We are back home again. After a short rest, the national leaders would greet them in the evening. The sumptuous yet thrifty party made people feel the warmth of their own homes. The next morning, a summary and commendation meeting for this expedition was held in the hotel. First, everyone was awarded the title of First Class Hero of the Chinese Empire. Secondly, bonuses were distributed. However, among the first five people, no one came up on the stage. After receiving the bonus, Yaqi, who was in high spirits, was quickly stunned. What's wrong? Do people think there is less money? She looked at Li Xiaohu, whom she was most familiar with, and Li Xiaohu just said: "It's useless for me to ask for money. Everything belongs to the country. Why do I need money?" The second person who spoke was Ivanov. His words were also It was very practical: "I am paid. I only got the gold medal for my personal interests. The country helped me achieve my personal goals, so I shouldn't get any more bonuses." Zhang Chuan was also very simple: "Isn't it just to go to the United States?"Did you go on a mission? I shot a few shots and had a lot of fun. What an amazing country. It took so much money and let us go out for fun. Why should we give us money? I don¡¯t have the nerve to take it. " As a result, after those people walked around, no one came up to the stage to receive the bonus. As soon as Yaqi saw that this was not a problem, she immediately took out the emperor to scare people. She said: "This is the emperor's will. Don't go against the emperor's will. All the kindness was taken away and the bonus was taken back. " Yaqi's words allowed people to get the funds into their own hands. Next, Yaqi told everyone about the future prospects of sports work, which made everyone very happy. In the future, the sports in our empire will move towards a new direction. In the new era, our country will build a large number of sports facilities for all people to do physical exercises. This is what the emperor said, "Developing sports to enhance people's physical fitness." We will turn to education to cultivate a large number of people for the country. Sports talents. People were very happy after hearing Yaqi¡¯s words. In the future, our empire will appear in front of the world as a powerful sports power. From now on, the country will work hard to enhance the people¡¯s physique. It turned out that those foreigners saw You are so coaxed that it makes people angry. We are also a strong sports country and you no longer have the capital to be awesome. After the meeting, Yaqi walked down the podium, but she was stopped by a group of people. The leader was still the gold medalist. Chuan said straightforwardly without any nonsense: "Madam, the country is using money right now, and I can't take it. "Putting the check into Yaqi's hand, he turned around and left. Mu Xiongxiang said the same: "In the former Qing Dynasty, I couldn't even afford to eat. Now that the country has given me such a good life, I don't want it. " That Ivanov is very good at talking: "Madam, this is my intention for national construction, please accept it. "This Ivanov has already used the bonus as a donation. Text Chapter 566 Bonuses that cannot be distributed (2) Chapter 566: Bonuses that cannot be distributed (2) Chapter 566: Bonuses that cannot be distributed (2) Others also put the checks in Yaqi¡¯s hands. After a long time of effort, everyone returned all the arrangements. This made Yaqi a little confused about what to do. She could only shake her head and sigh: "Oh, people are really unwilling to accept these bonuses. ""()" Xu Shichang, who was walking behind Yaqi, said: "Mrs. I think it¡¯s okay if we pool their donations for the construction of sports facilities and then set up a monument to record their names.¡± Yaqi had no choice but to agree. Soon everything that happened here was published in newspapers by reporters. More people donated their money and everyone was willing to increase the empire's investment in sports. Soon, the School of Architecture and Engineering received a notice asking them to design a stadium that could accommodate 80,000 spectators to watch the game and whose straight track should reach 250 meters. In addition, the sports facilities of various universities also began to expand and rebuild. Some major universities have also begun to strengthen the original imperfect sports teaching and research work. Liang Qichao also plans to establish a Beijing Institute of Physical Education in Beijing. The plan has been reported to the Government Affairs Council and is expected to be approved soon. There is a sound of construction in the Empire of China. In the Smolny Palace in Central St. Petersburg, Russian Tsar Nicholas II was discussing with several of his ministers about attacking the Chinese Empire. According to intelligence, the Olympic Games in the United States ended after only fifteen days, which was completely beyond their expectations. However, there is also intelligence that when the Chinese Empire's sports delegation returned to China, their emperor did not return. I don't know where they were. went. No matter what, Russia is now ready to take action. Hundreds of thousands of troops have already moved to the eastern region. Not to mention the powerful transportation capacity of the railway, which gave the tsar and his ministers hope. ? ? Nicola? Nikolayevich? Romanov? Grand Duke Nicholas, a brave cavalry general, always believed that the original war against China was a failure due to the commander's stupidity. This is why a large number of soldiers of the Russian Empire became prisoners of war of the Chinese Empire, allowing the Russian Empire to be here. Suffered great humiliation and ceded territory to the Chinese Empire to pay reparations. Now the wise Emperor Nicholas II is also his nephew. If he wants to serve as the commander-in-chief of the war in the Far East, then I will definitely let Russia regain the confidence of the empire, let the honor of the empire reappear, and let those "yellow-skinned monkeys" "Taste the bitter taste. It turns out that the Russian army's war against China was an attack on the Chinese Empire from the east and west fronts. The distance was too far to support each other. Now I want those people in the Chinese Empire to taste the harm of our heroic Cossack cavalry. He himself is a cavalry general, and he has a special liking for cavalry combat. He believes that only cavalry is the god of war, and only cavalry warriors are the basis of combat. Can you imagine which other country¡¯s cavalry in the world can compete with my Cossack cavalry? The answer is yes, that is, no army in the world can fight a decisive battle with my Cossack cavalry, so victory can only belong to our great Cossack cavalry. Russia¡¯s war potential is huge. They can easily devote millions of troops to any battlefield and make the enemy tremble in front of the swords of our Cossack cavalry. Victory belongs to us. At this time, he had never thought about how the original Russian troops were defeated by the Chinese Empire's troops. Faced with the fact that Russia was rapidly increasing its troops across the border, Li Zhenhua did not take this matter to heart. Generally speaking, the first thing is that Russia's weapons are not good. Their weapons have lagged behind for decades. The weapons in the hands of some infantrymen are actually long-haired ones. They can't really be called Changmao. They just tied an iron-tipped heavy machine gun to the front of a wooden stick. There are only a few mortars in a regiment. They also produced them, but they have a specific weight. There are even fewer machine guns. Even the heavy cavalry among the Cossack cavalry that they are proud of, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are also long-haired, but these long-haired are much stronger than those of the infantry. Those used by the cavalry on horseback can also be called long-range strike weapons. Their logistical support is much simpler. As long as they have potatoes, there is nothing missing. Even the cavalry, their logistical support is very easy. Just add the feed for the horses. The best infantry weapon of the Russian army now is the m1891 Mosin? Nagant Rifle Some Chinese call it the "Water Lianzhu" rifle. It was jointly researched and designed by Captain Mosin of the Russian Army and Nagant of Belgium. Its magazine is an exposed magazine that can hold five rounds of bullets. It already uses smokeless gunpowder as the propellant. This is the best weapon of the Russian army. This kind of weapon was used until World War II when new rifles appeared. Their heavy machine guns are water-cooled, which is very rare in Russia.It is very inappropriate in such severe cold weather. (Sergei Ivanovich Mosin was born on April 2, 1849. In 1861, he was admitted to the Junior Military School. After graduating in 1867, he entered the Petersburg Artillery Academy. In 1870, he graduated with first place honors. 1872 Entered the St. Petersburg Mikhailovsky University in 1904. After graduating in the summer of 1875, he was awarded the rank of captain. After that, he worked at the Tula Arsenal for nearly 20 years.) Due to Russia's financial constraints, their new rifles only had a few copies in 1904. If a small number of troops can be replaced, the troops in the Far East cannot be replaced quickly. The Russian army originally used some imported weapons. The most common weapon was the m1870 Berdan No. 2 single-shot loading rifle. They used black powder, not to mention the slow shooting speed and short range. Weapons and logistics are a problem, but the main problem is the morale of the Russian army. Since Russia is now a slave society, most of the soldiers are slaves, so their morale can be imagined. Based on the above situation, the senior military generals headed by Feng Guozhang have begun to arrange their own battle plans. The emperor is not at home, and we must fight the battle well and not let down the emperor's trust. The base camp of the Russian army is located in Chita. It is impossible for them to go further. Most of the place has been occupied by the army of the Chinese Empire. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, the transmission of intelligence and information is also very slow, but the intelligence The department already has its own intelligence network in Chita, so it is much more convenient to carry out the work. The information is transmitted station by station, and the information is continuously transmitted back. Text Chapter 567 A Dangerous Journey Chapter 567 Dangerous Journey Chapter 567 Dangerous Journey It is really hard for these intelligence officers. Since the Russian army has begun to block the main roads, they can only use the small roads that few people take. Some of them are in Some people are riding camels, and sometimes they are sitting on sleds pulled by dogs. Of course, many of them still use human legs to travel in order to deliver the information to the next stop in time. They are not afraid of hardship and hardship. Lei insisted on walking in the vast forest. It's better now that it's summer, but in winter it's even harder for them to move forward on this uninhabited road. The danger is all around them. Sometimes they'll run into tigers or blind bears. In the cold winter, those beasts have nothing to eat. If they encounter them, A single person walking is likely to be attacked by them. And those cunning wolves are also deadly dangers. After the war, someone wrote a memoir in which he recorded in detail the process of one of their intelligence transmissions: It was the spring of 1904. Although it was already the time for spring flowers to bloom in the south, in Skovorodino It's still freezing here. A local Russian hunter named Katya, who is a prince, is riding a horse and taking his hound on the road. He is a traffic officer responsible for delivering intelligence. His mission this time is to deliver a letter 200 kilometers away. I handed it over to a medicinal merchant who was looking for wild ginseng in a mountain forest. Normally, this road can be traveled by horseback in seven or eight days. If it snows in winter, the time will be longer. Sometimes it takes fifteen days. The genius can only come back if there are no other circumstances on the road. If you encounter other situations, it's not possible. After walking on the road for half a day, he dismounted and prepared to take a rest before continuing on the road. But at this time, a small group of Russian soldiers suddenly appeared. It seemed that this was a small group of messengers. They usually sent a small group to deliver messages for safety reasons. Several Russian soldiers spotted Katya and immediately started shouting. It turned out that they discovered that Katya was carrying a wine gourd with him. This wine gourd made the Russian soldiers suspicious of him. Russians would not do this. Only those who often deal with people from the Chinese Empire would have this wine gourd. The squad leader of the Russian army ordered Katya to be taken away. At the same time, he also took Katya's wine gourd in his hands. At the same time, he also took Katya's weapon and a rifle. Katja's rifle is a rifle that can hold five bullets? Enfield rifle. At that time, this kind of rifle was rare. The Russian squad leader was suddenly happy. He did not suspect that Katya was a spy, but he was interested in guns and wine, so he wanted to keep the guns and wine for himself. Yes, but if Katya didn't have wine and guns, he wouldn't be able to complete the task at all. Wine is for keeping warm, and guns are for dealing with wild beasts. They are both indispensable. So he had to follow the small group of Russian troops to look for an opportunity to take back the things. It was already afternoonit would be dark soon after more days. Katya saw that the Russian troops were preparing to rest and decided that he could not wait any longer. It would be even more inconvenient for him to wait until dark. Now that the enemy was busy preparing to rest, he decided to snatch his weapons and wine gourd back from the enemy. Katya first let go of her horse and asked it to go aside, then called her hound over. This hound had been with him for five years and was very humane. Katya gently patted the hound's big head and said to her. The finger in front meant that he would fetch the gun. The hound shook its tail to indicate that it understood. It gently slipped over to the rifle on the ground and lay down next to it. Then it grabbed the gun. The belt slowly dragged the gun back. The Russian soldiers were busy preparing for the camp. They did not notice its movements. Now that the gun was in hand, Katya became more courageous. He gestured to the hound again and asked it to give the wine gourd. Come back. This time, the hound was unwilling to go because it turned out that Katja often teased it to make it drink. As a result, the hound hated the taste of wine and was unwilling to go. Katya beat the hound before it set off aggrievedly. But the wine gourd was now in the hands of the Russian squad leader. The hound's task became more difficult, but this hound was very smart. It first reached the guns set up by the Russian army, and then gently arched the guns together. He fell down and made a sound. The squad leader yelled: "What's going on?" Seeing that the squad leader didn't pay attention to the wine gourd hound, he suddenly pounced on the squad leader. The guy was frightened when he saw something pounced on him. Lying on the ground, the wine gourd also let go of its grip. The hound lowered his head, picked up the wine gourd in his mouth, and ran towards Katya. When the Russian captain saw it, he hurriedly picked up his gun and fired at the hound, but it was already dark and he couldn't aim correctly. In a blink of an eye, the hound had reached Katya's side and was lying on the ground. Katya shot the squad leader without hesitation. This Katya is definitely a good hunter. It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t go to the Olympics. He defeated the squad leader with just one shot.Regardless of anything else, he immediately took a few steps back and left. He knew that he still had a mission and couldn't tangle with these Russian troops. The squad leader shouted. The other soldiers picked up their guns and started shooting at the place where the gunshot was heard. But there was no movement there. They slowly searched there, but there was nothing there. By this time, Katya had already reached Five Hundred. Meters away, he whistled and his horse ran over. He mounted the horse again and started moving towards the goal. Don't get entangled with them. Even if you can eliminate them, don't get entangled with them. Your own mission is the most important thing. The book also records his encounter with a pack of wolves. That time was much more dangerous than this time. In this case, Katya was awakened by horses and hounds in the middle of the night. She looked around and saw green flashes. There were more than ten wolves in the eyes of the wolf. He and the pack of wolves persisted for half the night until dawn, and the wolves ran away. Even his own hound was injured that time, and both the hound and the horse helped him fight against the wolf pack and the horse. If the wolf's hind hooves were kicked on the head, it would be enough to choke them. After daybreak, they saw about ten dead wolves on the ground, and some were injured and were dragged aside by other wolves to eat themselves. When encountering such a thing, there is no other good way but to fight them. This is an enemy more ferocious than the Russian army. If you are not careful, you will be eaten by them. When someone asked them later: "Why do you have to work so hard, are you not afraid of danger?" "What's the point of being afraid? This is my job. In order to defeat those ferocious Russian troops, we are not afraid of these difficulties. Only by defeating the Russian troops can we live a good life and avoid these dangers. Besides, we are hunters, and hunters are not afraid of these." animals." Text Chapter 568 Waiting for Winter The superiors also knew about the situation of these intelligence traffic officers. Later, they were equipped with two guns and multiple bullets for each of them. In addition, each of them had a flashlight. They covered it with a red cloth and shone the flashlight to scare away the wolves. Let them hide some guns and ammunition in the places they pass by in case they run out of bullets. Then they can go to the place where they are buried and take them out to reduce the risk to some people. Furthermore, if there are two people, it is better to have more than one person acting together, which would be much safer. The Russian army began their mobilization in May. It is now August. In more than three months, they have transported more than 400,000 troops and some military supplies to the Far East. They are still transporting them non-stop. This time the Tsar had to mobilize one million people to the Far East to achieve their goals. Now the troops they arrived earlier have begun to advance towards the southeastern region. The place in front should be on the Khabarovsk front line. Russia has called this place Khabarovsk, but the Chinese Empire's troops did not appear, which made them feel a little uncomfortable. Knowing what to do, although the superiors didn't know what was going on, they told the subordinates that the Chinese Empire's army was afraid of them and they had begun to retreat. Russia's hundreds of thousands of troops are the best labor force, so let's start building railways. From slaves to soldiers and then from soldiers to laborers, there is no difference. From here to Khabarovsk, they are building a simple railway, so it will be done soon. . Anyway, the Chinese Empire is willing to let them build railways here. If they counterattack, those railways will become their own. So when is there anything wrong with that? Soon they built the railway to Khabarovsk, which was also their end point. In front of them was the army of the Chinese Empire with the river as the boundary. It was impossible for them to connect this place to Vladivostok. The people of the Chinese Empire were still willing to let them build it. The railway will not let them pass here because it has entered the hinterland of the Chinese Empire and they cannot be connected with Vladivostok. The current blockade of Vladivostok has made the Russian garrison somewhat unbearable. Although they have a navy there, the submarines will not let them out. ? ? Nicola? Nikolayevich? Romanov? Grand Duke Nicholas has arrived in Khabarovsk. To be precise, his current location should be more than a hundred kilometers west of Khabarovsk, because there is a natural river blocking his army, which is where our Ussuri River is now. The weather was in October, and the rolling river flowed toward the northeast. There was a wetland here that was about thirty kilometers wide, which his troops could not pass. Now they can only use the natural ally of the Russians, that is, the weather, to help them get past this area. That is, they have to wait until the river is completely frozen, then those natural barriers will no longer exist, and their infantry and cavalry can smoothly pass through. Cross this area and head south to connect with Vladivostok. There was no other way but to wait patiently. However, the French Emperor Napoleon, who had always regarded the cold weather as his ally, was outside Moscow because of problems with the logistics of his troops. In addition, half of the Russians a year The Russians finally drove the French Emperor out of Moscow and won the war. They are now also thinking of continuing to use this method to deal with the Chinese Empire's army. However, if the severe cold comes, the Russian army will also be overwhelmed by the supply line of more than 8,000 kilometers. If something goes wrong, it is not a problem. It may be Hundreds of thousands of troops were dumped here. ¡, ¡°If they are willing to wait, we will end up fighting them.¡± Feng Guozhang patted his hand on the huge map and said to the staff around him: ¡°Their current strength is simply not enough to fight us. They are also on the opposite side now.¡± There are only 200,000 troops. It is estimated that they will attack us at the end of October or early November. We will punish them severely and eat all the hundreds of thousands of them." Cai E was still staring at the map. Feng Guozhang, who was lost in thought, asked: "Comrade Cai, do you have any ideas? Tell us and let everyone analyze it." Cai E turned around and came to Feng Guozhang: "Minister, you are right. We don't need to cross the river with them now. Fighting this wetland is the natural dividing line between us and them - but in winter this dividing line no longer exists. At that time, all our equipment can be used. Now even if we fight them, they can only be beaten in vain. "As soon as we start fighting here, the Mongolian side can take action. As long as their logistics supply lines are cut off there, they will be finished. The entire eastern region of Russia will have no way of survival for them. This large area will become When the time comes, we will have to prepare more prisoner of war camps and guard troops, otherwise we will be caught off guard. Just guarding and feeding the prisoners of war will be a big problem. " ?Qi Rui said on the side: "We should prepare in advance, otherwise it will become a joke. But for those who are eager to ask for labor from us, we must also make an agreement in advance that we will not rob them when they come." Order is what matters." People laughed together. Feng Guozhang said to everyone: "But we can't just think about the good side. We must know that the army opposite us is not a completely devoid of fighting in the world. Compared with previous armies, this time they are well prepared. They must fight with us." " Zhang Zuolin said from the side: "In addition, their new rifle Mosin? The Nagant is close to the level of our rifles, but they are still equipped with less equipment. We cannot compete with our soldiers. Also tell the following. The troops should try their best not to bayonet with the Russian soldiers and kill them from as far away as possible. This is an iron rule. If any unit violates this rule, I will deal with the top leader of that unit. " "Staff Cai will contact the top officer of that unit immediately. Beijing has asked the General Logistics Department to speed up the delivery of logistics supplies. We must be prepared in advance, especially those special forces, the air force and armored forces. They must also be prepared. The country spends the most money on them. Now is the time for them to show their skills. Don¡¯t let the infantry laugh at them.¡± Text Chapter 569 Li Hongzhang is critically ill "Report to the head of Beijing for an urgent call," a staff officer came in and reported. Cai E went over and took the telegram. He glanced at his face and his expression immediately changed. Seeing Cai E's expression, Feng Guozhang stepped forward and took the telegram. Feng Guozhang's expression also changed. He handed the telegram to Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui. He also leaned over and got up with him. It turned out that this was an emergency telegram from the Beijing Government Affairs Council, saying that Prime Minister Li Hongzhang was seriously ill and asked Feng Guozhang to return to Beijing immediately. Since the Emperor was not in the Beijing Government Affairs Council, Li Hongzhang would take charge of the work. Now that Li Hongzhang is ill, according to the original plan, Feng Guozhang will be in charge of overall work. It is estimated that his condition is very serious. It was very serious, otherwise the telegram would not have been sent to Feng Guozhang who was far away on the front line. Now that the telegram has arrived, Feng Guozhang must rush back. Zhang Zuolin immediately waved his hand, and all the staff officers under him left. Only Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin, and Cai E were left. They immediately discussed that the frontline matters here would be handed over to Zhang Zuolin, and Cai E would stay. Duan Qirui, who served as chief of staff to Zhang Zuolin and was in charge of military affairs, of course had to return to Beijing. Everything here will be left to Zhang Zuolin. Feng Guozhang said to him: "Now that there is something wrong in the country, the frontline work will be left to you two. Don't let the emperor down." Zhang Zuolin and Cai E hurriedly stood up and said to Feng Guozhang : "Minister, please rest assured that we will act according to our original plan to ensure that the emperor will not be worried, and we will never let the Russian army take advantage." "Well, you must be careful and contact your family frequently if anything happens. We won't delay any more and we will set off immediately." They must seize the time. Even if they are rushing back now, it will take three or four days. If Li Hongzhang cannot hold on, other problems will arise in Beijing and they must be rushed back in time. Contact the emperor and ask him to come back quickly. Li Hongzhang's illness is not a trivial matter. It may cause trouble in the country. However, with the emperor's prestige, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, the current situation in the country is excellent. When he arrived at the train station, Feng Guozhang immediately asked someone to contact the train, and as the deputy prime minister, he ordered the train to rush back to Beijing as quickly as possible and return to Beijing Station at the speed of an express train. The party agreed. This was the request of the deputy prime minister of the Government Affairs Council. No one would discount it at that time. Just let the green lights go all the way. When they arrived in Harbin, the green lights heading south were already ready. They just stopped at several major stations to add water and coal, and then continued towards Beijing. Three days later in the evening, Feng Guozhang had returned to Beijing. Without any delay, he asked Li Hongzhang where he was now. The people below replied that Premier Li was now living in Beijing Hospital, so Feng Guozhang went directly to the hospital. On the way, Feng Guozhang asked Li Hongzhang how he got the disease. sick? The person below replied: "Premier Li has a lot of things to do during this period and Vice Premier Feng is not at home. His working hours are longer. Three days ago, he passed out in the office. He also passed out several times in the hospital. Doctor He said it was mainly because he was old and tired from work. " "Have you informed the emperor? How did the emperor respond? " "The emperor was informed that day and he said he would leave for Beijing immediately. The emperor was still on the way. I sent a telegram asking me to ensure that Prime Minister Li's condition does not worsen, saying that if you return to Beijing, please set up a medical team and you will be responsible for the work of this medical team. Now all this is presided over by Vice Premier Wang. Prime Minister Li's health seems to have stabilized in the past two days. "¡, Feng Guozhang breathed a sigh of relief and said to the driver: "Hurry up and turn on the siren. Don't worry about disturbing the people. Our Prime Minister's life is more important than anything else." The driver turned it on immediately. It turns out that there are regulations for the siren to sound. The siren cannot be used casually unless there are special circumstances. The emperor is afraid of disturbing the people. Now he can't care about all this. Feng Guozhang wants to rush to Premier Li's side as quickly as possible. It wasn't until he was close to the hospital that Feng Guozhang asked the driver to turn off the siren. As soon as he entered the hospital, he quickly sent Feng Guozhang to the special care ward of Beijing Hospital. There were already guards guarding him. When he saw Feng Guozhang coming, people saluted him, but he ignored him. In return, he just ran quickly towards Li Hongzhang's room. Seeing Feng Guozhang come back, Wang Shizhen and several doctors standing in front stopped Feng Guozhang to tell him about Li Hongzhang's condition, but Feng Guozhang said: "Let me take a look at Prime Minister Li first, and then I will listen to your situation." He continued to walk towards Li Hongzhang's ward. Seeing Feng Guozhang entering the door, Li Hongzhang smiled: "Vice Prime Minister, don't worry so much about me. I'm fine. Now the King of Hell doesn't want to see me." Li Hongzhang started by telling a joke. Feng Guozhang stepped forward and took a breath. He held Li Hongzhang's hand and said to him: "Prime Minister, I can't let you be so tired at such an old age. All this is caused by my poor planning." Li Hongzhang laughed: "That's silly talk. If I were not in this position to pursue political affairs, I would not care about this.As long as I am in power for a day, I will not stop working. The emperor has tried to persuade me many times, but I can¡¯t do it. I have worked hard for the old government for decades and meeting foreigners is asking for mercy. But now you see what we are like. Can I not work hard? ". "Our emperor is a wise king. Since I followed him, I feel that I am ten years younger and the more I work, the more energetic I become. "A doctor came in and winked at Feng Guozhang, meaning that Li Hongzhang couldn't talk too much now. Feng Guozhang stood up and said to Li Hongzhang: "I'll go out and come back in a while. " Li Hongzhang said: "Go and tell them what happened. Tell me, they won't tell me anything. At most, it's death. There's nothing to be afraid of. Don't people often say that they are afraid of death and can't hide from impermanence? " Feng Guozhang smiled and said: "You are worrying too much. You will get better soon. Just take a good rest first and I will be right back. "When Feng Guozhang came out, there was already a doctor waiting for him. He led Feng Guozhang to the doctor's office. Wang Shizhen was already waiting there with several doctors. When they saw Feng Guozhang coming in, they all stood up. Feng Guozhang pressed his hands on the chairs they prepared for everyone. He sat down and immediately said: "Can you tell me what is the situation of Prime Minister Li? " "The situation of the deputy prime minister is like this. As soon as the prime minister moved in, we immediately conducted a consultation. The situation was very bad. " Text Chapter 570 Wei Xiaohu¡¯s Marriage Feng Guozhang listened to him and said: "Prime Minister Li is mainly because his liver and kidneys are not very good because of his old age. We used to ask the Prime Minister to be hospitalized for treatment earlier. He always said that he didn't have time, so he was delayed all the time. If he hadn't fainted, he wouldn't have come to the hospital. What we mean is that we should prepare for his funeral now." Feng Guozhang said in disbelief: "Is it so serious? You must let him see the emperor. The emperor has nothing to do with Li. The friendship of the Prime Minister is not something that ordinary people can understand. "There is no problem. We will definitely take good care of the Prime Minister in the past few days. Besides, he has stabilized in the past few days." Wang Shizhen said: "This is tiring. It turns out that he wants to." He couldn't do anything. Now that he finally has a chance to work, he is working hard. We are not as good as him." Wang Shizhen shook his head and sighed. After Feng Guozhang learned about this situation, he came to the ward again, but the doctors said to him: "Vice Premier Feng, you should be careful not to talk too much to the Prime Minister, so as not to make him too tired." Feng Guozhang nodded and agreed. He went into the ward and talked with Li Hongzhang for a while. Then he came out and went to the doctor's office to talk with several officials and doctors and then entrusted them to take good care of Li Hongzhang's body. Then he returned to his home. Since Li Zhenhua separated from his wife in Honolulu, his course began to turn to the South Pacific. He wanted to go to Indonesia to have a look. At this time, his men were controlling it in the name of Lanfang Republic. His general Wei Xiaohu was doing a great job there at this time, and the whole place had basically controlled all of Indonesia. The voyage at sea was very novel at first, but after a long time, it became boring and boring. There were only a few activities, food, and luggage every day. Zhenhua made up his mind to get the plane ready as soon as possible so that he could arrive. I came here, but if I want to really start it, it will have to be twenty years later, and it will not be possible until after the Second World War. Now I can only go slowly. After arriving at Vidalia, Wei Xiaohu, Ou Zhiqiang, Xiao Ping, Zhao Shiwen and others went to the port to greet Wei Xiaohu, rushed forward and hugged Li Zhenhua. He cried out loud at first, and Li Zhenhua's tears also fell. Wei Xiaoya was almost there. He hadn't seen his younger brother Wuzi for years, and all the grievances and excitement he felt after meeting him for many years burst out together. Li Zhenhua finally persuaded Wei Xiaohu and said to him: "You are also the highest official of a place. People will laugh at you if you look like this. Stop crying when you get to your home." Only then did Wei Xiaohu. He stopped crying and introduced people one by one. The original old people were all in tears. Only Xiao Ping was saluting the emperor. Xiao Ping was a small battalion commander earlier and now he has more than 100,000 soldiers. The supreme commander of the army. Ou Zhiqiang is a local. Over the years, he has become a senior leader under Wei Xiaohu. Only Zhao Shiwen is still the same, but he does not hold a leadership position and is still working as his adviser. However, he is one of Wei Xiaohu's A good counselor, he often runs down there, so he gave Wei Xiaohu a lot of good suggestions. Li Zhenhua didn't ask Wei Xiaohu to hold any big welcome ceremony. He just wanted to chat with Wei Xiaohu about the current situation here. Wei Xiaohu directly invited Li Zhenhua to his home. Several of his wives saw the emperor arriving at his home. Wei Xiaohu panicked and said loudly: "My eldest brother, the emperor, is here. Come and see the emperor quickly.", Among the people under Li Zhenhua, Wei Xiaohu is the only one who calls him eldest brother. Why? Wei Xiaohu is now basically a head of state. He is now the Prime Minister of the Lanfang Republic. It stands to reason that there should be a head of state above him, but Wei Xiaohu disagrees. He thinks there is someone above him. His fifth brother is the real boss of Lanfang Republic. Three women came forward to greet Li Hongzhang. Li Zhenhua asked Jin Xifeng to give each of them something brought back from the United States as their own gift. Then a few people went down and started arranging meals for Li Zhenhua to greet him. If others refused to come, his brothers would still have to come. Let's have a drink together. When Li Zhenhua arrived here, it was as if he had arrived at his own home. There was no need to be polite at all. First, he asked Wei Xiaohu some personal questions. Wei Xiaohu immediately told Li Zhenhua about his own affairs. At first, he was busy with work every day, but then some old people wanted to The old man Zhao who arranged the marriage for him, but his senior adviser basically decided for him to choose a local Chinese daughter as the first lady. She was a very nice person and came from an ordinary family, but she was educated and helped Wei Xiaohu a lot at work. A year later, she had a son. Wei Xiaohu named him Xiang Hua, which means forever toward the Chinese Empire. Eternally devoted to Li Zhenhua, the second wife was a business wizard. She ran a farm by herself. Wei Xiaohu saw that her operation was in trouble??Having people help her twice, she fell in love with her benefactor in her heart. She was embarrassed to talk to Wei Xiaohu. After all, she rarely saw Wei Xiaohu, which made her very distressed, so she thought of a way. Because of a business dispute, she found Zhao Shiwen. As a result, she won a legal victory. She went to Zhao Shiwen. When she was thanking her, she mentioned Wei Xiaohu. As a result, Zhao Shiwen felt good about it and settled the matter for him. She soon became Wei Xiaohu's second wife, while the third wife was a local aborigine. Because their policy is not against marrying indigenous people, but those indigenous people have also started working, and some of them are doing very well. They are also encouraging them to marry local indigenous people, especially a large number of army officers and soldiers who are only local Chinese. There are not enough overseas Chinese girls, so some outstanding girls also find their own suitable partners. However, some officers and soldiers still had antipathy towards the aborigines. Ou Zhiqiang proposed that some major leaders should be allowed to marry an aboriginal wife. This wife was an alternative among the aborigines. Her work was not very good, but But she was good at using her brain. She came up with some small inventions and was praised by the local government. As a result, Zhao Shiwen came to help him matchmaking again, but this time Wei Xiaohu disagreed. But this time it was Ou Zhiqiang who suggested this. It was a political issue that required him to take the lead, but he had no choice but to marry this third wife. Text Chapter 571 Returning like an arrow Chapter 571 Returning like an arrow Chapter 571 Returning like an arrow Li Zhenhua burst out laughing after hearing this and said: "This Zhao Shiwen is qualified to be your father. He always gives you wives. You have to treat him well. " "Don't tell me that I am supporting him like a father now." Even Jin Xifeng laughed. Then they talked about the overall situation. Now that the entire Indonesia is under his control, this is where he was. Mainly Chinese and overseas Chinese, now due to their strong entry and the influence of the original Lanfang Republic, this place is now part of our Chinese Empire, no one else can say it. Now his army has more than 100,000 people. Now Xiao Ping is in charge of military affairs. He is also very attentive and has married a local wife. He has domestic support and the weapons are not backward. In addition, the people here are now very Unity with outsiders is simply not possible here. The current economic development here is mainly based on the domestic production of some raw materials such as rubber, spices, rice, and some minerals, which can be exchanged for money when shipped back to the country. A large number of daily necessities, etc., are also shipped from the country. The economy here is now It is inseparable from the country, so no one can say what our motherland is like. Wei Xiaohu is now thinking about when he can be united with the motherland. Li Zhenhua said: "Don't worry about this issue now. The current situation is not bad. Just concentrate on managing this place. Making the country and people rich is my highest priority." "Wei Xiaohu agreed. It's not bad for him to be the local emperor here. It's far away from the country, but there's nothing. He is an orphan. The closest person is Li Zhenhua. Now he sees Li Zhenhua and has given up a piece of him." Heart disease. Next, Li Zhenhua asked about the Strait of Malacca. Wei Xiaohu said: "Now the part south of the Strait is controlled by us. The British on the other side are in control. But as long as we are unhappy, we can control the Strait. Although we only have 100% control." It¡¯s easy to cause some trouble, but we can make good profits there.¡± For several days, Li Zhenhua was conducting research with people here, and then he visited some places here. There were schools, factories, mines, farms, etc. where Li Zhenhua talked with some local people to understand their situation. In the school, Li Zhenhua discovered that all the imperial textbooks were in use, and the teachers were also teaching in Mandarin. The school¡¯s curriculum included the original traditional stuff, but it was mainly mathematics, chemistry, physics and other courses. However, they were very familiar with the history of the Chinese Empire. But they paid considerable attention to the history of the Chinese Empire as a major course. Li Zhenhua understood that their approach was to never let people forget that their roots were in the Chinese Empire. Li Zhenhua is visiting the country. A telegram about Li Hongzhang's condition has arrived. Li Zhenhua attaches great importance to this old man who is also a teacher and friend. He knows that many of the views of later generations on Li Hongzhang have obvious political factors, such as the suppression of him in the era. The peasant movement was opposed to it, but the subsequent reform and opening up gave people a new understanding of it. But Li Zhenhua knew that to correctly evaluate a historical figure, one must evaluate him from the historical, economic, and political aspects of his time and not by the standards of a certain period in later generations. His contribution to the Chinese Empire outweighed his demerits. It should be a definite figure. The first navy of the Chinese Empire and the first batch of children studying abroad. The first mine, the first embassy abroad, the first railway, the first telegraph office, etc. These many firsts all have the hard work of Li Hongzhang. He has done so many firsts for the Chinese Empire. Isn¡¯t it worth it? Do you respect him? So Li Zhenhua hurriedly put down his work and hurriedly returned to China (it can also be said that he returned to Beijing, which is already a place of the Chinese Empire.) He knew that Li Hongzhang's condition might be very serious, otherwise he would not be allowed to return. In Batavia, Li Zhenhua once again sent a telegram to Beijing asking people to ensure that Li Hongzhang's health would not have any problems. He asked Feng Guozhang to form a Li Hongzhang medical team for Li Hongzhang to take charge of Li Hongzhang's condition. He was already returning quickly. Although his latest cruiser has reached a speed of thirty knots, he still feels that it is too slow. It would be a pity if he could not rush back to see him. He once again feels that the pace of developing aircraft is still too slow. If there is By plane, I can return to Beijing in one day at most and see my old friends, but now I can only act in a hurry and have no other choice. Seven days later, Li Zhenhua finally arrived in Beijing. Like Feng Guozhang, he hurried to the hospital. He must see Li Hongzhang. Seeing Li Hongzhang¡¯s obviously much thinner face, Li Zhenhua¡?I feel very sad that I left state affairs to this old man and went out on his own. He is exhausted. Who said that only Zhuge Kongming is exhausted? Didn¡¯t Prime Minister Li Hongzhang also use up his last bit of effort for the rise and fall of the country? . Li Hongzhang is obviously not as good as he was a few days ago. His body of nearly 1.8 meters has shrunk together. He has been a little unconscious these days. He is using his last consciousness to wait for the emperor to come back. He wants to take another look. If the emperor doesn't see the emperor at home, he can't close his eyes even if he doesn't complete the task. Li Zhenhua felt a little sad when he saw his appearance. He held back his grief and called out softly: "Prime Minister." Li Hongzhang's eyes miraculously opened and he stretched out his hand. Li Zhenhua hurriedly shook his hand. In his own hand, Li Hongzhang grabbed Li Zhenhua's hand and gasped: "Your Majesty, you are finally back. Now I can leave with peace of mind. I will no longer be able to assist the Emperor" Li Hongzhang paused for a moment and then continued: " Your Majesty, I have been an official for decades. Only these few years have I become like a human being. I have been humble and humble for decades. But now I see that the old minister is not blessed and cannot see our country and people become more prosperous. I feel unwilling to do so In the past few years, I was so happy that I woke up from my sleep laughing several times. " Li Hongzhang's eyes turned to Feng Guozhang again: "The emperor is a wise king. You must try your best to assist us in the future. We must not have any objections. The country cannot live without him" Li Zhenhua said to him: "Prime Minister, you will get better. You should rest in peace." After another pause, Li Hongzhang said again: "Your Majesty, please stop comforting me. I know myself. "Your Majesty, thank you for coming to see me off. I'm tired, please let me rest for a while." After saying that, he closed his eyes and gently slipped his hand from Li Zhenhua's hand. He was using his ultimatum to insist that he would leave the country he had just visited in the hands of the emperor, so he left with peace of mind. In this way, Bismarck, a famous Eastern prime minister, left the country he had fought for all his life and left his most respected emperor and his colleagues. In the East of the world a great man has left this world (this is a sentence quoted in all newspapers). Text Chapter 572 The love between the king and his ministers Chapter 572 The Love between the King and his Subjects Chapter 572 The Love between the King and his Subjects Li Hongzhang¡¯s children Li Jingfang, Li Jingshu, Li Juqiu and Li Jingpu were extremely sad. However, the Emperor was present and they could not burst into tears. They could only kneel down and cry softly. Zhang Peilun also knelt down on the side. ("") Li Hongzhang's heirs were not prosperous. After the son born to his original wife died in infancy, he had to adopt his younger brother Li Zhaoqing's son Li Jingfang. This nephew, named the eldest son, followed the old Li Xiang in diplomacy all his life and was his right-hand man. But the second year after Zhao Xiaolian married Li Hongzhang, she gave birth to a real heir to the Li family. Li Jingshu gave birth to two daughters, Li Jingx (also known as Ju) and Li Jingpu. Li Zhenhua took off his hat and bowed his head in silence to Li Hongzhang. The people around him also took off their hats and observed silence along with the emperor. Li Zhenhua left quickly, mainly because he was in a bad mood. The following things are their family's own business. He can't always be there. After he came out, Li Zhenhua asked Feng Guozhang to be responsible for Li Hongzhang's funeral. First of all, he should immediately set up a funeral committee to make arrangements. Needless to say, the Prime Minister¡¯s specific funeral specifications are that the state funeral will be held on September 1st for fifteen days. The national flags in front of relevant units across the country will be flown at half-mast. The news of Prime Minister Lee¡¯s death will be disclosed in the media and the embassies of various countries in China will be notified. , consulate. He went home by himself and felt extremely depressed. When Wang Xin and Yaqi saw him coming back, they knew from his expression that Li Zhenhua was unhappy. They didn't dare to tease him. They were cautious and sat aside with him. Li Zhenhua glanced at them and found that the three of them were looking at him with concern. He said to the three of them: "You guys go to rest and let me be quiet here." Jin Xifeng hesitated and said to Li Zhenhua: "The Prime Minister has already come to your place. It's useless to feel uncomfortable. You haven't had any rest during the past ten days, so go to your room and rest. The three of us can help you with anything." Li Zhenhua didn't listen to her and just took the lead. After a moment, they quietly retreated out. Li Zhenhua was thinking about this legendary old man. In real history, Li Hongzhang was born on February 15, 1823 and died on November 7, 1901. He lost power in the later period due to his defeat in the Sino-Japanese War and the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The common people and some literati in the country thought that he signed it. He made a series of traitorous agreements, but if people didn't know the inside story, he had no power at all. As a result, there were calls to punish Li Hongzhang, saying that he was a traitor. He could only die in Xianliang Temple in Beijing out of anger. Take the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" as an example. The reason for ceding territory and indemnity was because of the defeat, and the Japanese already knew the bottom line of the Qing government's agreement to pay 200 million taels in compensation. They tried every means to justify it, but it was of no use. Dasong Hirofen knew the bottom line, so he didn't do it at all. He won't give in. Finally, Li Hongzhang said to Dasong Bowen: "You must give me some face no matter what, even if it is just a few thousand taels, it will be considered as my travel expenses." In this way, Dasong Bowen still refused to give a penny. (See Li Hongzhang's Westernization Career) However, all the officials who knew the specific situation of the court knelt down to the Empress Dowager Cixi to plead for Li Hongzhang. But Li Hongzhang could only sigh after knowing it. With current events like this, there is nothing I can do. The Empress Dowager Cixi would not bear the name of this traitor anyway, so she withdrew Li Hongzhang. Now, due to the appearance of Li Zhenhua, the prime minister of the former Qing government has worked proudly for the new Chinese Empire for several years, letting him know that his early efforts were not in vain. He has laid a foundation for the rise of the Chinese Empire. The next day, flags at half-mast were lowered at half-mast in various institutions, units, schools, factories, and armies in the Chinese Empire in accordance with the emperor's order. The news of Li Hongzhang's death was also published in newspapers. Li Zhenhua came to the hospital again. When Li Zhenhua and the three ladies appeared here, all dressed in black and with black veils on their right arms, people were a little surprised. Is the emperor coming to keep a vigil for Li Hongzhang? However, the people below did not allow him to do this. Since ancient times, there has been no rule that a king should guard the mourning of his ministers. However, Li Zhenhua said to them based on his relationship with Li Hongzhang as a teacher and friend: "There will no longer be such a rule. The prime minister died for the country." We must miss him and commemorate him." Li Zhenhua led his three wives and his two children to bow to him four times and bid him a final farewell. Do people say "three gods and four ghosts"? . The emperor left the hospital only after the persuasion of his family and senior leaders. In the car, Li Zhenhua said to the two children: "This is an old man worthy of people's respect. You must remember him forever." Several senior leaders of the Government Affairs Council were also here at this time. They all knew about the relationship between Li Zhenhua and Li Hongzhang. As soon as he came out and was not famous, Li Hongzhang used his dignity as the prime minister of the court to donate 100,000 taels to Li Zhenhua. This was something that no one else could do. This was Li Hongzhang's ability to judge people. Because of this, Li Zhenhua also donated 100,000 taels to Li Zhenhua during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. Li Hongzhang preserved his navy. For Li Zhenhua, he was not for Li Hongzhang.??Saving the navy is for this country. But from then on, the relationship between the two quickly became closer, and they became friends throughout the year. Later, when they established the Chinese Empire, Li Hongzhang instead subordinated himself to Li Zhenhua and continued to serve as his prime minister, which gave Li Zhenhua time to deal with more things. Li Zhenhua, the emperor, was well deceived. He not only entrusted Li Hongzhang with important responsibilities, but also cared about him very much in other aspects. These other leaders also knew that the emperor himself did not care about anyone? This is impossible. The emperor is also very concerned about the ministers. These people are old. He asked the people below to install telephones on them to make them travel less. He also equipped people with cars so that they can Everyone is safe and comfortable, so that people will not suffer from wind and rain, and at the same time, they can avoid accidental injuries. They have also installed heaters and replaced office chairs. The lights at home and in the office are all designed to protect the eyes. The light should not be too strong or too weak. These elderly people should be checked regularly. Don¡¯t look at them. When he was young, he was more caring than these old guys. What Li Zhenhua kept talking about was: "You are all the wealth of the country and I must protect you." When everyone thanked him, the emperor said: "I will leave such a big country to you. Don't worry, I will only take care of you." If you have any difficulties regarding logistics, please come to me and I will come to you if you have any problems.¡± Text Chapter 573 Memorial Service Chapter 573 Memorial Service Chapter 573 Memorial Service In the past few days, the embassies and consulates of various countries in China have lowered their flags at half-mast to express their condolences to Li Hongzhang. At the same time, many ministers and ambassadors came to express their condolences on behalf of their countries and leaders. They were the first to arrive. What's more, the little brother countries around Annan, North Korea, Lanfang Republic, etc. Although Japan is now very dissatisfied, they still have to make superficial remarks. The first ones in Europe were Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, etc. Then other countries also expressed their attitudes. Although Britain and France were reluctant, they had to express their attitudes. Under the leadership of their boss, the United States, the American countries also expressed their attitudes. Together, envoys from various countries stationed in China came to express their condolences. Although the Persian Empire is far away, they have also sent a condolence team to express their condolences. At the same time, many people from China are also coming to Beijing to attend the memorial service. For example, the Governor of Dongfang Province, Liu Mingchuan, and the Navy Commander, Deng Shichang, are also coming to Beijing to attend the memorial service. At the same time, it turns out that some of Li Hongzhang¡¯s friends, relatives, friends, and subordinates also came to Beijing. They were touched that the emperor could give their old boss friend a state funeral. At the same time, they had not been to Beijing for a long time, and now seeing the changes in Beijing gave them a new understanding of their empire. In the past few days, newspapers have been heavily publicizing some of Li Hongzhang's deeds, allowing people to have a deeper understanding of this dedicated prime minister. Ordinary people have also published poems and articles in newspapers to commemorate the people's good prime minister. There seem to be fewer people on the usually bustling streets. People's clothes have also been changed to plain colors. Many people are wearing black gauze on their arms, and some people have a white flower on their chest. The usual joyful bustle has disappeared. The sales of white cloth and black cloth in various places have increased significantly. Even the sales of ghost paper are growing rapidly. At nine o'clock in the morning on September 1, 1904, a memorial meeting was to be held for Li Hongzhang. The sky was gloomy and it seemed that they were also grieving for the death of the Prime Minister. Workers, farmers, soldiers, and students who came to attend the meeting came to the square early. By nine o'clock, more than 100,000 people had gathered. There were many people coming from behind to attend. Starting from 7 o'clock in the morning, many people came to pay homage to Li Hongzhang's body and bid him a final farewell. The mournful music echoed in the hall. A portrait of Li Hongzhang hung directly above the hall, and the whole hall was solemn and solemn. Li Zhenhua came with his three wives and children. Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, Zhang Zhidong, Sheng Xuanhuai, Tang Jiong, Liu Kunyi, Governor of Dongfang Province Liu Mingchuan, Navy Commander Deng Shichang, Taiwan Fleet Commander Liu Buchan, South China Sea Fleet Commander Lin Yongsheng, Naval Research Institute Wei Han and others . In addition, representatives from various provinces and regions also bid farewell to Li Hongzhang and expressed their condolences to Li Hongzhang's family and children. Envoys from various countries also bid farewell to Li Hongzhang¡¯s body. First of all, they came from the Persian Empire, Annan, North Korea and other countries. Germany, the United States, etc. also came early, while countries such as Britain and France came later. This is not the time to argue with them, but it also shows who has a close relationship, which is not a bad thing. The time pointed to nine o'clock. Li Zhenhua and his officials came to the tower. Feng Guozhang announced the start of the memorial meeting: "Raise the flag and play the national anthem." In the eyes of more than 100,000 people, the red dragon flag was raised to the top of the flagpole and then the honor guard A long command: "Flag at half-mast" and the national flag slowly lowered to half-mast. "Everyone stands in silence for three minutes." At this time, people listening to the radio across the country sounded their whistles together. All factories, cars, locomotives, and ships sounded their whistles. At the same time, a twenty-one-gun salute was fired. The sirens of cars, trains, ships, and sirens suddenly sounded. The mournful sobs, deep howls, and clanging neighs intertwined, rolled, and circled up into the vast sky. In an instant, the grief of hundreds of millions of Chinese people mourning the Prime Minister enveloped the land of more than 10 million square kilometers of the motherland, wandering and lingering on the mountains and ridges, the vast plains, the north and south of the river, and the oceans inside and outside the Great Wall The whistle was sounding sadly. The sorrow is low and solemn. The hearts of the solemn mourners who stood in silence and solemnity beat violently to the sound of the whistle, their hands trembled slightly and tears welled up in their eyes. After Sheng Xuanhuai delivered a eulogy, the honor guard carried Li Hongzhang¡¯s body to the hearse. Li Hongzhang¡¯s body was temporarily stored in the Xianliang Temple where he had lived for a long time. A car acts as the leader, followed by a hearse. In front of the hearse is a photo of Li Hongzhang's first officer. On both sides are black curtains. Behind it is a bus, with Li Hongzhang's family members on it. Behind it is the emperor's car, and behind it is the funeral procession. of other people. Along the way, Chang'an Street, Wangfujing Street, and Xiaowei Hutong were filled with crowds of people seeing Li Hongzhang off on both sides of the road. Finally, when we arrived at Dongshuaifu Hutong, the common people held banners in their hands: "Prime Minister, we will always command you" and "Premier Li, you will always live in our hearts." By six honor guardsThey carried Li Hongzhang's body to Xianliang Temple, and then the monks there took it to a room arranged in advance. The monks here have already made preparations to welcome him. They also have to do some rituals for Li Hongzhang. This is also their respect for Li Hongzhang. These things are arranged by the family. There is no specific number of days to do it. "But Li Hongzhang's wife Zhao Xiaolian has to stay for 7749 days. Her two daughters can accompany her. But that's not the case for the sons. They have to go to work. Zhao Xiaolian led the children to kneel down before Li Zhenhua and said to the emperor: "I saw the entire state funeral ceremony, but my husband didn't see what I told him. Children, please kowtow to the emperor. You are here in front of your father." I swear that you will always assist the emperor and not have any second thoughts." Li Zhenhua was about to help Zhao Xiaolian. His three wives hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady. They could not let the old man kowtow to him, but Zhao Xiaolian was waiting for him. The sons were allowed to get up only after they had sworn an oath. The Chinese Empire has now abolished the original "Ding You vacancy" system. In the early years, there were many stereotypes and customs in funerals: the theory of "Ding You" originated from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and Taichang Temple was in charge of it. "Ding" means encounter or encounter. Officials should sue "Ding You" and return to their hometowns to observe filial piety and then apply for reinstatement. During the three years of mourning, they are not allowed to attend banquets and social events. Couples are not allowed to live in the same room, and family members are not allowed to have children. Otherwise, they will be punished if someone reports them. Although there are not many restrictions among the people, they are not allowed to get married during the filial piety, and they do not like to participate in celebrations within the anniversary. If it is necessary to get married, it can be arranged within a hundred days, which is called "borrowing filial piety." Officials also borrowed filial piety. For example, when Zeng Guofan was in command when he was observing filial piety, Emperor Xianfeng issued an order to "borrow filial piety." In fact, the "three years" of observing filial piety has the meaning of gradually weakening the longing for relatives. From seventy-seven to sixty, from sixty to one hundred days, from one hundred days to the anniversary, from the anniversary to three years, it gradually lengthens and gradually fades away. In the end, there is only the annual "anniversary of death" (anniversary of death). But during the "Ding You" period, people from "Ding You" are not allowed to serve as officials, and the country cannot forcefully recruit people from "Ding You" as officials without special reasons. If the country needs to forcefully recruit people from "Ding You" as officials for special reasons, it is called "seizing love." Now that the "Ding You" thing has been cancelled, that is, when a parent dies at home, it is enough to give him an appropriate holiday depending on the distance of his hometown. For example, Li Jingfang served as Xue Fucheng's deputy in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is, the deputy minister, but due to the obstruction of Li Hongzhang, he did not If you become a deputy minister, you can only get a month's leave. As for his two sisters, if they don't have specific official positions, they can just do whatever they want. It turned out that Li Hongzhang's children wanted to transport Li Hongzhang's coffin back to his hometown of Feidong, Hefei, Anhui Province. However, at the suggestion of some officials, they agreed to bury Li Hongzhang in a cemetery in Beijing. However, the cemetery has not been completed yet, so they have to stay here temporarily. Store and then move over. Text Chapter 574 Funeral arrangements Chapter 574: Aftermath Chapter 574: Aftermath Feng Yuqing from the Intelligence Department came to report: "The Russian army has increased its efforts to mobilize troops in the north. The number of troops on the front line has reached the current 300,000 people." Li Zhenhua said: " Okay, we'll take as many as they come. I've been feeling bad these past two days. It's good to let them come and give me some good luck. Pay attention and continue to observe their actions. Let Zhang Zuolin and the others be more vigilant. Don't let the old fools give us a surprise. They suffered a loss." Feng Yuqing said: "Okay, I will inform them immediately. There is another incident at Prime Minister Li's memorial service. There is a British man named Fu Lanya who seems to be very intimidating to the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau. Those people who have more contact should pay attention to this person?" Li Zhenhua seemed to have some impression of this name, but he couldn't remember it, so he said to Feng Yuqing: "Get to know him in a secret way, and be careful not to let him know." Days later, Li Jingfang and Li Jingshu asked to see the emperor. It turned out that when they were cleaning up Li Hongzhang's belongings, they found Li Hongzhang's letter to the emperor and some other things and sent them to Li Zhenhua. Before his death, Li Hongzhang left a letter and two of his poems to the emperor. In his letter, Li Hongzhang only talked about his inheritance. He said that he now has 40 million taels in cash and his two sons have their own. Mrs. Wage will also receive a pension from the state every month in the future, so all his money will be donated to the country for national construction. One of the two poems is a new work and can be regarded as a posthumous poem: "The sword in the autumn wind aids the minister's power (the tears of the lonely minister) The setting sun flags the altar of generals. The dusty atmosphere overseas has not yet ceased, please don't wait and see." The other poem is his poem in An old poem he wrote when he was young is also very famous: "The husband hooked the Wu hook with one hand, and his spirit was higher than the Baichi Tower. Who has made history in the past ten thousand years? Looking for a feudal prince three thousand miles away." I will definitely follow the leisurely gulls chasing the water! I smiled and pointed out how many people on the bank of Lugou Bridge will come to Yingzhou from now on?" The two poems should be said to be very meaningful. The first poem tells future generations: Although Now we are holding the sword (power) in our hands and ascending to the throne of power. The overseas situation is unstable. Don't take it lightly. Is this related to Sun Yat-sen? Comrades who have not yet succeeded still need to work hard to "have different approaches but similar approaches. But if you replace the words "lonely and tearful" with that meaning, you can't understand it this way, and it becomes a concern for the country and the people. The second poem It was written when he was young and had the flavor of "guiding the country" and "working hard to improve himself". Logically speaking, it should not be used to teach the emperor, but he left it and sent it to the exhibition that will be held in the future. It is better to educate one person than to educate a large number of people. Susan came again from the Rothschild family. This time she came with the British government's condolence mission. Li Zhenhua wondered if she was here to save a few dollars. The British government did not pay any attention to the Chinese people. They could have sent people from the embassy in China to express condolences on their behalf, but they did not want to come directly. When they arrived in the Chinese Empire, it was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and half a month later. The state funeral had already ended and everything was on track. But when they came, you had to welcome them. But because they were here. The people of the Chinese Empire were no longer the original British Empire, so Xue Fucheng called Li Jingfang to go to Xianliang Temple with them. Xue Fucheng was the foreign minister and had to come, while Li Jingfang was the family member. Zhao Xiaolian was the only one there at this time. She even asked her daughter to go back. Anyway, she was alone and it was fine. She just stayed here for a while. She heard that the British came to express their condolences. She also knew that these people were not good people. Her husband had long said that the British didn't have any affection at all. They were only interested in interests. When she saw Xue Fucheng coming, she started to avoid him. The British were asking for trouble and they couldn't blame anyone else. But this time they did. He said one thing, that is, the relationship between Russia and the Chinese Empire is tense. They want to mediate. This is just a matter of doing nothing. If a special envoy does two things, it must be said that the British are shrewd and calculating. Li Zhenhua listened. After arriving, he immediately said to the following: "We don't need them to interfere with this matter yet. We have our own way of dealing with it. For enemies who dare to invade us, we can only use guns to deal with them." "Xue Fucheng and Li Jingfang immediately went to reply to them, even if Li Zhenhua didn't need to tell them, they would have done it to them. Information about the British Folanya was also returned. This person stayed in our country for twenty-eight years during the Qing government. In 2000, he reached the rank of a third-grade official, which is already quite high. At the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, he used his method of saying that others were writing it in Chinese. He produced more than 100 books in total, and one of them was printed. There are more than 100 kinds and some of them are not printed.?. Now his eldest son Fu Shaolan succeeds him in translating books in the Manufacturing Bureau. However, Fu Shaolan was suspended from work due to illness not long ago and is recuperating in Shanghai. According to Shanghai, this man is a good man and has made great contributions to the Chinese Empire. Now he works as a professor of Oriental Languages ??and Literature at the University of California. In fact, he went to the United States on leave. It has been eight years since he heard the news of Prime Minister Li's death. Li Hongzhang, who came to attend the Prime Minister's memorial service, was kind to him. At this time, Li Zhenhua remembered that he knew that there was such an Englishman when he took over the Jiangnan Bureau, but because he did not have in-depth contact with him, it seems that he let him go now. This is a useful talent for the Chinese Empire, but he did not It's a pity not to be able to use it. So Li Zhenhua immediately asked Feng Yuqing: "Has this person left?" Feng Yuqing replied: "He is still in Beijing and I heard he is leaving soon." "Let's go and see him right away. He is a useful person. We can't Let him leave so easily." Li Zhenhua stood up, put on his hat and went out. The car was parked there at any time and he could leave. Li Zhenhua and several people arrived at the Beijing Hotel. A waiter said to them: "This Mr. Fu Lanya has just settled his account. He is going to Shanghai. He must have arrived at the station now. His train leaves at two o'clock in the afternoon." You guys probably won't be able to catch up." Li Zhenhua hurriedly looked at his watch. It was one o'clock and there was still an hour left. There was still time. He hurriedly turned around and left the hotel and said to the driver: "Hurry to the train station." When the driver saw that the emperor was anxious, he hurriedly said He started the car and rushed towards the train station quickly. Text Chapter 575 Leaving Fu Lanya behind Chapter 575 Leaving Fu Lanya behind Chapter 575 Leaving Fu Lanya behind The time the car arrived at the train station was already 1:50. The car hurriedly rushed from the side door directly to the platform. A guard went to talk to the station guard on duty. The captain contacted the driver and asked them to postpone the train. The other people started looking for someone in the carriage one by one, and finally found Mr. Fu Lanya in the fifth carriage. ""() Invited Fu Lanya from the train before the train set off. Fortunately, it was not late. When Fu Lanya knew that the person looking for him was the emperor, he was stunned. What does His Majesty, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, want to see me for? Fu Lanya got out of the car and Li Zhenhua was already standing in front of him with a smile. He still had a vague impression of Li Zhenhua. He was hesitating. Li Zhenhua had already walked over and bowed to him and said, "Mr. Fu Lanya's slow treatment of you is my fault." I apologize to you here." Fu Lanya immediately said: "Your Majesty, you didn't say that my apology was inappropriate." Jin Xifeng next to him said, "Mr. Fu Lanya, let's not talk here. Let's go back. Say it again, okay?" Upon hearing this, Fu Lanya knew that this was the emperor's wife and immediately said to Jin Xifeng using her original title: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not saluting first." Li Zhenhua said at the side: "Let's go back and talk about it. Don't stand here. "The car drove back and went directly to the Beijing Hotel. Li Zhenhua asked the guards to arrange a room for him again. The guards brought tea and then left the room. Li Zhenhua, Jin Xifeng and Fu Lanya were left alone for a while. Yuqing also came back. It turned out that he had gone to Fu Lanya to handle the refund procedures. Li Zhenhua said to Lanya: "Sir, you have worked and lived in our land for twenty-eight years. You have left the best time of your life in our empire and left many translation works for our empire. I should express my gratitude to you." "Your Majesty, you have praised me. All this is what I should do. I have to be responsible to my customers. This is the minimum standard for me to be a human being." "Yes, it should be like this, but in that case. I also fired many foreigners from the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau. Some of them had higher positions than you and some were not as good as you. Therefore, I didn¡¯t have a good impression of the foreigners there. However, I later investigated and found out that you are not related to them. "They have really done a lot for our country." "Now we have revised some of the books you originally translated and reissued them. Do you think there is anything wrong with them?" Li Zhenhua took out the book that he later made some revisions for and let Fu Lanya take a look at it first. Fu Lanya took the book handed over by Li Zhenhua and started to look through it. It seemed that these books still used her own name, but many of them had been revised. It was much more accurate than her original translation. Seeing the professional vocabulary, Fu Lanya Lanya was full of admiration for the person who revised it. After watching it for a while, Lanya couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, who helped me revise this? I want to thank him for the original translation. I can only mislead people." Li Zhenhua said: "Thank you. As long as you think it is appropriate, then so be it. In addition, we should also give you some royalties for reprinting. I will ask someone to calculate how much we should give you and give it to you together." "Your Majesty has already calculated it. Mr. Fu Lanya should be given another 125,000 yuan," said Jin Xifeng on the side. Fu Lanya was immediately stunned again. How could there be so many? So Fu Lanya said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, I can't take this money, and you are using it to educate students. And you have made a lot of modifications to it. That gentleman should get this money, and I am." I shouldn¡¯t take this money. Also, could you please do me a favor so that I can see the gentleman who helped me with the revision? I must thank him in person, otherwise I will be infamy.¡± Fu Lan. Ya stood up and bowed to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, please help me with this." Li Zhenhua also stood up and grabbed Fu Lanya: "I have already said that you don't need to thank him. He only admires you and just did what he should." It's just a little work." Fu Lanya's eyes were staring directly at Li Zhenhua's eyes. Could it be that it was His Majesty the Emperor who helped him make changes? Listening to what people said about his legend, it was really possible. So he stepped forward, grabbed Li Zhenhua's hand tightly and said, "Your Majesty, is it really you who revised it for me?". Li Zhenhua didn't answer but just smiled: "So I said you don't need to thank me, right?" "Since you have worked hard, you should be paid. The money is yours, and your name should be printed on the book." ¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s not discuss this with you. I would like to ask you to return to work in our Chinese Empire. There are several places you can consider. One isThe Ministry of Culture and Education will go to the Ministry of Culture and Education to help Minister Liang Qichao with his work. The second is to go to the Ministry of Industry to take charge of the work there, and the third is to go to a university to take charge of some affairs. What do you think? " Fu Lanya never thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire would value her so much, which made him a little confused. Seeing his expression, Li Zhenhua said to him: "Let's just talk about this today. You can think about it carefully. No need. In a hurry, you inform me of your plan to turn around and I will come over to see you. Just take a rest first and I will go back first. " Several people got up and went out. Fu Lanya sent them to the stairs. Li Zhenhua stopped him and said to him: "Please stay. You are over sixty, so don't send any more. If you are missing anything, just tell the waiters and they will take good care of you. "The waiters then realized that this inconspicuous old foreign man was a friend of the emperor, so they all became enthusiastic. The emperor's guards had just told them that the old man would be a staff member of the country in the future and they should take good care of him. They all happily agreed. The emperor and his entourage had gone away. Fu Lanya was still standing there quietly. It turned out that Li Hongzhang had been kind to him for promoting him after working under the Qing government for twenty-eight years. Even if his annual salary was eight hundred pounds at the beginning. In the end, when he reached the rank of a third-rank official, his salary did not increase much. Later, Li Hongzhang had so many troubles that he forgot about Fu Lanya. But Fu Lanya was very loyal to his employer and he has been working in this position. Twenty-eight years passed until the Machinery Bureau became Li Zhenhua's private company. He saw that Li Zhenhua had dealt with a large number of foreigners and hired some young Chinese. He felt a little discouraged. At that time, he asked for a vacation, but he was immediately dismissed. It was approved and he never came back. Text Chapter 576 The Jewish beauty is here again Chapter 576: The Jewish beauty is here again Chapter 576: The Jewish beauty is here again He came to attend Li Hongzhang's memorial service, and it was only because he was chatting a few words with the original Jiangnan Machinery Bureau that the intelligence officers found out that he was collecting information about the Chinese Empire and paid special attention to him. Only then did the emperor discover that he had let him He reestablished his roots in the Chinese Empire. In the evening, a guard brought him a check for the reprint fee of 125,000 yuan, which can be drawn at any major bank in the world. Now the financial industry of the Chinese Empire has developed rapidly, and exchanges can be carried out in some larger banks. Direct withdrawals can also be made in all American banks. Fu Lanya didn't want it, but the guard said that he had been ordered to accept it and he had completed the task. Fu Lanya had no choice but to accept it, but he felt that his original translation level was too low, while His Majesty the Emperor's revision was not. He added a lot of knowledge to his book and the book was much more valuable than before. He asked Li Zhenhua to add his name and get a share of the royalties, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't like it and sent them all to him. Fu Lanya arrived at the emperor early the next morning. He wanted to return the royalties to Li Zhenhua, but Li Zhenhua said to him: "This is what you deserve. Besides, you spent a lot on this long trip. Your annual salary in the United States is not high." This can be regarded as a little subsidy for you." Fu Lanya saw that His Majesty the Emperor was sincerely giving it to him, so he collected the check and said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, I am not polite, and I will go back to the United States immediately. Let¡¯s deal with the matter there and then I¡¯ll go back to work. It will take up to six months to discuss the specific work after I get back, okay?¡± "Okay, I will respect your wishes in every way so that you can have a comfortable working environment." "Then thank you, Your Majesty. Then I will leave today. I have to go to Shanghai. I also want to see my son, who took over later. I'm not in good health at work recently, so I want to see him. " "Okay, then you can go to Shanghai first. If anything happens, you can call me first. You can also go directly to the mayor of Shanghai, Mr. Zhu Baosan. I will help you." "Then thank you, Your Majesty. I'm leaving." Fu Lanya left and Li Zhenhua sent him outside. Looking at his gray hair, Li Zhenhua felt a little emotional. He was a good person for him. The employer can go to the hard-working person. Because of his own mistakes, he was allowed to live in the United States for several years. Now the mistakes have been corrected. I hope that such mistakes will not happen again in the future. Suddenly a woman appeared on the path in front of him. A red-haired woman. Li Zhenhua's heart could not help but feel his heart beat faster. Soon she came closer. She had a charming oval face and a pair of curved willow eyebrows. She has radiant eyes, a small and exquisite nose, and seductive red lips. She is definitely a peerless beauty. This is Miss Susan, the little princess of the Rothschild family. She finally showed up again. According to information from London, the bonds of the Chinese Empire have begun to be sold, and the sales there are very popular. According to some local people, from afar, It surpassed the scene when the Japanese were selling there. It seems that this princess has come to announce the good news to him. Li Zhenhua took two steps and said to Susan: "Miss Susan, welcome you to our empire again." "Your Majesty, I find that your spirit is much better than before." Miss Susan said sincerely. Li Zhenhua knew that she was not being polite. He and his wives had indeed undergone some mental changes since taking the medicine given by the Taoist priests. There were also some physical changes among bedmates that could not be told to outsiders, but on the surface Anyone can see the changes. The two entered Li Zhenhua's office. Susan first expressed her deep condolences to His Majesty the Emperor for the death of the Prime Minister: "The death of your Prime Minister is a great loss to the Chinese Empire and our family is also very sad about this matter." Li Zhenhua expressed this After thanking them, they soon turned to the topic of bond issuance. Susan said: "After studying this business, the heads of our family decided to help the Chinese Empire sell it in European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, and Our initiative has been supported by the big bankers in Europe. In fact, this is mainly due to you. If you were still in the same situation, not many people would support you. But now it is different and you have made the world understand it again. "Thanks to your strong economic potential, especially after this Olympic Games and the World Expo in the United States, the world has a new evaluation of you." Li Zhenhua said: "Miss Susan, we can only thank you."?We haven¡¯t done anything in our own construction. The current world is just fairer to us than before. The original world was unfair to us. Isn¡¯t it the same for your family? ". "What His Majesty said is that our family now has a new understanding of your Chinese Empire. Our family has passed a resolution and will hand over the business in the Chinese Empire to me for management. I have you as the emperor's friend, so we should be able to let us Be successful. " "We are friendly to our friends who help us, but your British government will not be happy if you support us. " "Your Majesty, this issue is not a problem. Our family is global in nature. We will not just go to one country, but to support countries around the world that we think we should support. But this time, doesn't our support for you have another purpose? ". Susan herself laughed as she spoke. Li Zhenhua knew what the "purpose" she was talking about was to liberate their Jewish nation from the war against the Russian army. Li Zhenhua said to her: "My original promise still stands. During the war, we must try our best to help those Jews and protect them from the harm of the war as much as possible. " Miss Susan stood up and said to Li Zhenhua: "Then on behalf of my people, I would like to thank Your Majesty in advance. Our people will definitely thank you. " Seeing Susan's happy look, Li Zhenhua added: "The war will come soon. The Russians will attack us in November, but by then many people will lose their lives in the war. " Text Chapter 577 Beauty is going to the front line Chapter 577 Beauty is going to the front line Chapter 577 Beauty is going to the front line Seeing Susan's happy look, Li Zhenhua said again: "The war will come soon. The Russians will attack us in November, but by then Many people will lose their lives in the war. " Susan understood the meaning of Li Zhenhua's words. We shouldn't work for you in vain. You should show something. So Susan immediately said: "In order to support the Chinese Empire's anti-aggression war, we will launch a fundraiser around the world and we will give all the money we get to you." Ms. Susan's words are also very good. You are doing it. Even if we don't support you in the anti-aggression war, we still have to fight it. But since we are allies, we can't talk about this and we still have to support you. So she took out a check from her exquisite handbag and said to Li Zhenhua: "To show our sincerity, I have brought 20 million Chinese dollars. Please accept it first. You are using money now." "Hahahaha." Li Zhenhua laughed. This Miss Susan is really a genius: "Miss Susan, you can use this money first. You just came to us and you have a lot of money to use." There is no shortage of money. If we wait for this money to go to war, what difference will there be between us and the previous Qing government?" This time, it was Susan who laughed. She felt that the emperor's words were flawless and she spoke to him. Don't even think about getting a little advantage. It seems that it's better not to have any brains with him in the future. Then it's better to be straightforward. Doesn't the Chinese Empire emphasize that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue"? Susan's face couldn't help but blush when she thought of this. It seems that this sentence of the Chinese Empire is used by the husband to think about what he thinks about his wife. Li Zhenhua asked her again how her business in Beijing was going? Susan patiently introduced to His Majesty the Emperor that she originally planned to open a bank in Beijing, but considering that the advantages in Shanghai were greater, she placed the Rothschild family's banking headquarters in Shanghai. This was because she did not come to see him in time. There is another reason for Li Zhenhua, that is, the British mission is here. And here she is more popular than those in the mission. Doesn't it make the British mission lose face? Li Zhenhua said to her: "Wouldn't it be better if you could set up your head office in Shanghai and also open a branch in Beijing?" Susan knew what he was telling the truth, but the initial investment was huge. But if the 20 million was in her own hands, it would be easy. Soon she would be able to build a new one in Beijing. Seeing the check on the table, both of them stretched out their hands there at the same time. Their hands touched and they both left quickly. Their original intention was to push the check, so the two of them It was Li Zhenhua who spoke first and said, "Just listen to me. Use this money to open another bank in Beijing so that you can have more business. I will give them a message later so that your affairs can be done faster." " Susan was shocked again. Why did he know all her mental activities? I have never been like this before. I am always passive. What is going on today? Fortunately, it wasn't like that elsewhere. It would have been bad. But this Chinese empire is even more of a ceremonial party. It made a fool of itself today. Susan hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask for your approval." "Why are you so serious? If you have anything, just tell me. I will let people help you if I can." "In a few days. The Chinese and Russian armies will go to war. Please give me a gun. I want to go to the front line." What kind of request is this? This is just the expression of a little girl asking for candy from an adult. Li Zhenhua laughed: "Miss Susan, I don't think I should be the one to approve this issue. If you want to go to war with the Russians, You should ask your family for permission. But I don¡¯t think anyone will approve your request. Let me say this for your family: No, this is not the place you should go. Your place should be in Beijing or Shanghai. "When a guard came in to refill their tea, this job was done by Jin Xifeng. But today Jin Xifeng was not here, so it was the guard who did it. Susan found an excuse to talk again: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Jin, why didn't you see her? What are you doing?" "She went to the hospital." "Is there something wrong with her body?" "According to the doctor, she might be pregnant. They are going to the hospital for a checkup." "Oh" Susan breathed a sigh of relief and her face turned red again. She saw that she was not going to be able to do it today. Why did she always have problems talking? I might as well say nothing today and talk about it later when I have something to do. So she hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Li Zhenhua and was going back. Li Zhenhua also felt that something this little girl said today was not satisfactory enough, so he got up and sent Susan back. When he came back and sat down, Li Zhenhua didn't start working right away. He lit up a cigarette and started smoking. Today, not only is the little girl's speech problematic, but his own speech is also not without problems. Why can't he finish talking when he is with this little beauty? I also like to hear what she says. It seems that I like this little girl a little bit. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua laughed and said to herself that she was a little girl, but she was already in her twenties. She was only a few years older than her when she was close to thirty, so she called her a little girl, but a girl like her had already made such a decision. He has done many things that even adults cannot do. Fanning the smoke in front of his eyes with his hand, Li Zhenhua fanned everything away. He put out the cigarette and started to work again. However, the image of Susan did not keep appearing in front of him. The ladies came back together. Wang Xin said to Li Zhenhua with a smile: "Good news, sister Xifeng is indeed pregnant. It has been three months. This time, the fourth child will be born. We have to celebrate it, sisters." Yaqi immediately agreed. Only Jin Xifeng lowered her head. The pregnant emperor reminded her to be busy again. It was really not the right time to be pregnant at this time. It would be better after defeating the Russian army. When Feng Yuqing came, he reported to Li Zhenhua the recent actions of the Russian army. The strength of the Khabarovsk front line has reached nearly 400,000 troops. There are more than 200,000 troops stationed near Lake Baikal. They are stationed in several cities near Chita. The Russian army also has 200,000 troops. In addition to their troops without railway lines, their military strength has reached the goal of 1 million troops. Text Chapter 578 The Crown Prince came at the right time Chapter 578 The Crown Prince has come at the right time. Chapter 578 The Crown Prince has come at the right time. Seeing the distribution of the Russian army, Li Zhenhua was a little dumbfounded. Is there such a formation? How can we fight if the troops are completely separated? This is not for Let the opponent defeat them one by one? This is probably the latest combat tactic of the Russian army. "" Now, don't ask yourself or a senior commander to take action, just let a layman take command. It is estimated that it will not fail. Li Zhenhua said to Feng Yuqing: "Go and find out who is directing this military operation? Why are they doing this? Even a fool who has no benefit to them at all can see it." Feng Yuqing said to Li Zhenhua: "There is no need to investigate. We already know the cause of the matter." It turned out that Tsar Nicholas II's queen Alexandra? Feodorovna gave birth to Crown Prince Alexei on August 12, 1904? Nikolayevich? Romanov. Nicholas II and Alexandra? After ten years of marriage, Empress Feodorovna gave birth to four daughters: Grand Duchess Olga, Grand Duchess Tatiana, Grand Duchess Maria, and Grand Duchess Anastasia, and now she finally gave birth to a prince. He naturally became the crown prince of Russia, which was a big deal. So Nicholas, as the commander-in-chief of the Russian army? Nikolayevich? Romanov? Since Grand Duke Nicholas was the uncle of Nicholas II and the grandfather of the crown prince, he had finally hoped for such a crown prince, so he hurriedly went back to congratulate him happily. He and his family had been waiting for ten years for this queen to be a blessing to their family. I gave birth to this crown prince. Before leaving, he asked his three leading figures to control their defense zones and not allow the Chinese Empire's troops to break through their defense lines. As a result, the three generals under him naturally controlled their troops. No one would let their troops go elsewhere, which resulted in their current situation. There were 400,000 Chita people on the Khabarov front. There were 200,000 people and 400,000 people remained in the southern region of Baikal. Li Zhenhua also knows about the Crown Prince Alexei? Nikolayevich? Grand Duke Romanov was diagnosed with hemophilia not long after he was born. As long as his body was broken, he would bleed and suffer pain. The source of this disease was that European grandmother, the current Queen of England, Victoria. There is hemophilia. And the daughter born to her second daughter is the current Queen of Russia, Alexandra? Empress Feodorovna is naturally a successor to hemophilia, and her son Alexey, the Crown Prince of Russia? Nikolayevich? Romanov also inherited her bloodline. It is estimated that the commander of the Russian army, Nicholas? Nikolayevich? Romanov? Grand Duke Nicholas will also actively look for famous doctors and good remedies for his grandson. Russia cannot let its country lose the Tsar because of this disease. The true bloodline of the Romano family is noble and pure, and no problems can arise because of this. Li Zhenhua said to Feng Yuqing: "It seems that their prince was born at the right time. If he was born a year later, we would have to spend more time." Feng Yuqing also smiled: "They are really a thing. When is it worth having a commander who is far away to have a child? Isn¡¯t it uncomfortable? Who will bear the responsibility if they fail? " "That¡¯s not possible, you know their Alexander? La? Queen Feodorovna has been holding back for so many years to have such a precious son. They can't ignore it. Well, let's just ignore them. Has Japan taken any action yet? I don't think they will take any action. Now they simply don't have the ability. The British and French support for them is still secret and has not been revealed. The small amount of troops in South Africa is far from enough. They have not been able to mature in ten years. It¡¯s not about the climate.¡± Li Zhenhua nodded, ¡°What can they do if they don¡¯t have ten years?¡± Economic strength is the most important aspect. It is impossible to just ask others to support it. The guard came to report that the Jewish woman had come again and asked to see the emperor. Feng Yuqing immediately packed up his things, smiled at the emperor, and went out. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "This boy knows this Jewish woman very clearly." He wants to see my joke, but I won't let him succeed." Then he coughed and asked Miss Susan to be invited in. The beauty naturally has her outstanding side. She will give people a good impression when they meet her. She will first salute to His Majesty the Emperor, then sit down elegantly, and finally smile sweetly to His Majesty the Emperor and then say: "Your Majesty, please guess what I have brought to you." "What good news?" Li Zhenhua naturally wouldn't be angry with the beauty. Although he had a lot of work, he made a guess and said helplessly: "Miss Susan, please tell me directly. I can"I don't think you can bring me any good news. " "Your Majesty, I know you just don't want to guess. If you had to guess, you would definitely guess it. "The high hat came up immediately. She knew that no one would refuse such words. Li Zhenhua laughed and others might like it, but he was not interested in these. He said directly to the beauty: "Tell me what makes me happy. . "He immediately lowered the status of the beauty's good news. Susan immediately felt alert that it was time to get down to business and talking nonsense would be pointless. So she took out the check from her handbag again. Li Zhenhua immediately thought that this girl had a check. Li Zhenhua said in his heart when he was addicted to talking, but this time Susan's check made him open his eyes wide. There was a long list of 600 million yuan on the check, and Li Zhenhua couldn't help but express something. : "You're really good. It didn't take long for you to get the job done." I should really thank you. " "What's this? Since I promised you, I must do it. If I wait ten or eight years to give it to you, what's the use? " "Yes, yes, we should pay more attention to work efficiency and make it more efficient. But your speed is so fast that I admire you very much. " "But this time I came to see you because I have something to ask for your help. " " Just tell me if you need anything from me. " "Our head office in Shanghai is about to open for business recently. I would like to ask the head of government in Shanghai to attend. Can you think of it? ". Text Chapter 579 A beautiful woman tests an airplane with her Chapter 579: A Beautiful Girl Accompanying her on a Test Plane Chapter 579: A Beautiful Girl Accompanying her on a Test Plane Chapter 579: A Beautiful Girl Accompanying her on a Test Plane This is not a big deal. It is much easier than the question she asked last time. Last time, it was impossible to agree to it, but this time, it can be considered. It was a great help to herself. The 600 million yuan did not fly from the sky, but they had worked hard to mobilize many wealthy people to buy it with real money. She could agree to her for this small thing. . So Li Zhenhua immediately took the phone on the table and asked the operator to call the Shanghai Municipal Government. It happened that Zhu Baosan was there. Li Zhenhua talked to him. Zhu Baosan happily agreed. Li Zhenhua put down the phone and said to Susan: "You are satisfied with the solution. "Okay." Susan immediately nodded happily and said with a smile: "It's great that Mayor Zhu can attend. This will give our bank a lot of face. Your Chinese Empire is the most face-conscious. Our future work will be much easier." On behalf of our bank, I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor. "When it comes to business, Miss Susan is not nervous at all, but when she talks about something with Li Zhenhua, the other two people are a little off. The two of them had lunch together. Even though they were beautiful women, they could drink some. So Li Zhenhua asked someone to prepare some red wine for her. Li Zhenhua naturally drank two glasses of his own white wine. After drinking two glasses of wine, both of their faces turned a little red. They talked about wine together. Miss Susan didn't know much about the white wine of the Chinese Empire, but Li Zhenhua knew a lot about Western red wine, so the two of them talked together again. Naturally, they would talk about famous wines such as Lafite and Bordeaux, and even have some allusions. The two of them drank happily together. After the meal, Li Zhenhua served Susan some good tea. Susan was also very knowledgeable about this. The two were talking and the phone rang at an inappropriate time. But Li Zhenhua was very happy after hearing the call. He immediately said to Susan : "Miss Susan, please come with me to the eastern suburbs right away." Naturally, Susan would not refuse and immediately went out with Li Zhenhua. The car drove straight to the flight aviation school in the eastern suburbs, and they went directly to the tarmac where a huge aircraft was parked. There are two propellers in the front of the aircraft. This is a twin-engine bomber. It is now only used as a transport aircraft. Xiao Feng Ru, the chief designer of the aircraft in front of him, saw the emperor coming. Feng Ru was very happy and immediately began to introduce the aircraft to the emperor that had been modified many times. Now its load capacity has reached 960 kilograms and its range is also It has reached the current speed of more than 1,000 kilometers and is only 300 kilometers. These two thousand are enough to put it in an absolute leading position in this world. At the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, they have gone through hundreds of hours of test flights and this aircraft has basically been finalized. They have not designated it as a bomber but as a transport aircraft. Li Zhenhua circled the plane. Now it is a single wing. The wing is at the lower part of the plane. There is a door in the middle of the plane. The whole body is still made of cloth, but the support part of the middle part is already very reasonable. There were two fixed landing gears in the front and one in the rear. A strong ladder was placed at the door of the cabin. Li Zhenhua climbed up. He saw that they had arranged two rows of eight seats inside. There were seats for two pilots in the front and there was room for some more in the back. thing. Now it¡¯s no problem to use it as a transport aircraft. Since the expansion of train lines, people have become accustomed to taking trains and taking airships. Now there are alternatives to airships. This should be a good thing. When Li Zhenhua came down, he wanted them to fly once and see the effect. Soon the two pilots got on the plane. They started the plane's engine and started working quickly. The pilot released the brakes and the plane rushed forward. Soon it left the ground and began to climb to high altitude. After a few minutes, the plane had reached its highest point. Feng Ru Xiang Li Zhenhua said: "Now its flight altitude has reached its highest design point. Now it is about 800 meters. Now it has changed to level flight." Seeing the plane flying smoothly in the air, Li Zhenhua felt very satisfied. This is the beginning. In the future, new planes will appear, and long-distance planes will soon appear. Then the situation where the land area is too big to take care of will never happen again. If something happens, it will arrive soon by plane. It will be more than ten days before I leave again. The plane came down smoothly and several mechanics went up to check that there was nothing wrong. Li Zhenhua glanced at the princess of the Rothschild family next to him and asked: "How is it? Are you interested in going up for a spin?" Susan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Since His Majesty the Emperor dares to fly in the sky, I will go up if there is anything I don't dare to do." After saying that, she took Li Zhenhua's hand and ran towards the plane ahead. Li Zhenhua just wanted to He was just joking with her, but he didn't expect that she would actually dare to go up. He couldn't say anything at this time, so he justWalk towards the plane. When people saw that Li Zhenhua was about to get on the plane, they immediately gathered around and unanimously opposed the emperor personally getting on the plane for a test flight. Li Zhenhua glanced at the door of the plane, where Susan was looking at him with narrow eyes. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to say to everyone: " We have been flying in Shenyang for hundreds of hours. We will soon use the aircraft. How can I not try it because I am afraid of danger? Please step aside and let me try it myself. " People saw Li Zhenhua saying this. He had no choice but to let him go up, but Feng Ru asked Li Zhenhua to put on the parachute just in case, otherwise he would not agree. So the service staff on the ground helped him hang up the parachute, and then he was allowed to climb up. Shan stretched out her hand and gave him a hand, which seemed natural. Li Zhenhua just said, "Thank you." The two of them sat aside, but several guards discussed it again before two people came up and sat across from Li Zhenhua. The plane's engine roared and then it rushed forward quickly. Susan, who had looked heroic just now, couldn't stand it anymore. Her hand tightly grasped Li Zhenhua's big hand and she closed her eyes for a while. The plane started to climb. Susan still didn't dare to open her eyes. The two guards were not used to it and closed their eyes until the plane leveled off. However, Susan's little hand kept holding Li Zhenhua's hand tightly and did not dare to let go. After flying in the sky for a while, Li Zhenhua asked the pilot: "How is the situation?" The pilot replied: "Everything is normal." "How much fuel is left?" "We can still fly 500 kilometers." "We can go above Beijing. Fly around?" "That's absolutely fine." "Okay, then let's go over Beijing." The plane immediately turned and flew towards Beijing. Text Chapter 580: Being considerate Chapter 580: Being considerate Chapter 580: Being considerate Even at this speed of 300 kilometers, it is much faster than trains and cars. Soon the plane arrived over Beijing. The pilot lowered the altitude and reached an altitude of about 500 meters. After a circle over Beijing, the larger targets below appeared in our eyes. The majestic palace, the solemn national flag, a long train, and the large green space were all amazing. Miss Susan just opened her eyes and took a few glances. He quickly closed his eyes again. The roar of the huge engine made the people below stop and look up to watch a huge plane flying in the sky. When people saw the huge red flying dragon mark, they knew it was their own plane. People cheered below. The plane circled around Beijing and then flew back towards the airport. When the plane started to descend and rise above the airport, most people could still hold back the churning in their hearts. But with this descent, Susan's heart felt like it was about to jump out of her body. Susan could no longer hold back and said "Wow" at noon. All the food was squirted out. Fortunately, the pilots had experience and had given everyone a bag in advance for people to use for vomiting. But Susan was not mentally prepared at all at the beginning. Her bags were not prepared, so she was in a hurry and got some vomit. This move from the emperor made Susan even more nervous. At this time, Li Zhenhua couldn't care less about anything else, he held her in his arms and patted her back gently. It wasn't until the plane stopped that she felt better. The guards were much better. These soldiers who had trained hard for many years couldn't bear to vomit. However, when they got off the plane, there was no color on anyone's face, but it was all them. He persisted and climbed off the plane. Susan was even more serious. Her fair face no longer had any color at all. She leaned softly on Li Zhenhua's body and put her hands around Li Zhenhua's neck. When Li Zhenhua saw that this little girl had made a big fool of herself today, he picked up Susan. Susan's soft body entered Li Zhenhua's arms, and a faint fragrance floated over. This was the fragrance of Susan's virginity. She didn't even dare to open her eyes, so she let Li Zhenhua carry her to the door of the plane. With the help of a group of people, Susan got off the plane. Li Zhenhua asked her to sit in the car and rest. He and several designers and pilots had a heated discussion about some existing problems. We all discussed solutions to them, such as separating the pilot's control area from the rear passenger area due to space. If it is too small, it is best to use a sliding door behind the cargo compartment and pay attention to the balance of the fuselage. And if it is used to bomb the enemy, the issue of bomb delivery must be taken into consideration. The bombs must be dropped in sequence and not all at once. Is it necessary to retain a bombardier in the future? If so, it will reduce the bomb load. After a long discussion, Feng Ru recorded everything summarized by several people and went back to modify it and then proceed to mass production. Of course Facing the invasion of the Russian army, we must first consider the problem of bombers, and at the same time, we must also consider the need to deliver personnel or materials to some specific areas in the future and improve the parachutes. It wasn't until it was almost dark that Li Zhenhua completed the aircraft approval work. When he returned to the car, Susan had fallen asleep, but she woke up as soon as the car moved. She had fully recovered. She was a little embarrassed after all. A grown-up girl who was brought down by a grown-up man cannot live in a home that is open to others. Li Zhenhua broke the awkward situation: "You were very airsick just now. I'm afraid you're hungry now. Can we find a place in front to eat something?" Susan just nodded and didn't say much. She didn't have any words now. It¡¯s time to talk, but I lost my mind just now. Li Zhenhua seemed to have guessed Susan¡¯s thoughts and said: ¡°Flying on a plane also requires practice. I used to be airsick when I first took a plane, but after sitting more, I didn¡¯t get sick anymore. "The guards nearby said to themselves: "Our emperor is really good at coaxing people. I have never seen him fly before. How come he has flown before?" But Susan felt much better when he said this. She was no longer so embarrassed. The car stopped in front of a small restaurant. Several guards came down. Li Zhenhua and Susan also came down. They went inside and the guards sat together. It didn't matter what they ate, but they just vomited. Susan cannot eat casually. It is best to eat softer food. Li Zhenhua didn't need to ask her to ask for some rice, a soup and some light side dishes. Susan knew at a glance that the emperor was thinking about himself, and her heart immediately became much warmer. Soon she was finished eating, and she was very interested in this. The considerate Emperor had a different feeling in her heart. It was really awkward without Jin Xifeng by his side. He had to sort out a lot of documents by himself, which took up a lot of Li Zhenhua¡¯s time. He was always busy with his work and wanted to find a new secretary, but he didn¡¯t have a suitable one for the moment.?It¡¯s been like this ever since. Susan came here a few times and saw that he was so busy, so she didn¡¯t bother him too much. Every time, she would sit for a while and then leave. This day she came again and saw Li Zhenhua¡¯s desk covered with documents. Susan said, ¡°Can you let me help you clean it up?¡± Li Zhenhua raised his head and said to her: "Okay, just help me clean it up." Li Zhenhua took the cigarettes and lit one and started smoking. His addiction to cigarettes seems to have become much stronger during this period. He always wants to smoke. I guess this It's because of busy work. Susan seemed to be born to do this. Soon the documents on the table were neatly cleared away. She made another cup of tea for Li Zhenhua and brought it to Li Zhenhua. She gently took the cigarette out of Li Zhenhua's hand and put it out for him. . Everything was done so logically. After looking at it, there was nothing that could be dealt with. She said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty, you should find someone who can help you. It is best to have a secretary who is a female talent." After saying this, her face changed. became red. "The secretary is a female secretary, and she is a female secretary." Li Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief: "There should be a secretary." "Your Majesty, please let me do this job. I will definitely be qualified." Susan recommended herself. "You can do that, but what about your work there? Will it not affect your business?" "No, we have dedicated people responsible for all the work, and there will be no procrastination." Text Chapter 581 Adjustment Center Chapter 581 Adjustment Center Chapter 581 Adjustment Center Li Zhenhua immediately thought of his work here. After Li Hongzhang passed away, Feng Guozhang came to power very quickly. However, since he had just started working, there were many tasks and he did not know his authority, so there were many things that still had to be done. Come to the emperor. Coupled with Jin Xifeng's rest, Li Zhenhua's work has increased a lot. It would be much better if he could perform his duties like a company. Now the Government Affairs Council has lost a major force. It is short of manpower and needs to increase its manpower. Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong are also older. The most tired ones are Sheng Xuanhuai, Xu Shichang, and Feng Guozhang. Don't overwhelm these few people. . Li Zhenhua picked up the cup and asked for water, but it was already empty. He put the cup down gently. Susan had brought the thermos for him and filled it with water. She continued to sit aside. Susan did not disturb Li Zhenhua. She was using a woman. mentality to observe this man who made her heart beat. She knew that if she wanted to be with him, it would be very difficult. She believed in a different religion and her own Judaism could only be monogamous. And he already has a fourth wife, is he suitable for him? But there is no other such an excellent man in this world. In addition, in order to maintain the excellent bloodline of their family, their family does not allow marriage with other ethnic groups. But for such an outstanding man, his family should not stop him, right? Now there are several people in his family pursuing him, but But she was not able to like him, and now because of his appearance, she couldn't even look at other men. She always had to compare him with the men in her family. She didn't know that such things could not be compared like this. It is simply impossible to put the excellence of other men into one man. There are also many people who have a low remarriage success rate now because he (or she) has been using the original ruler to measure the new partner, which will not work. The original shortcomings have been forgotten, but the advantages cannot be forgotten. Newcomers cannot. If the original standards are met, the new marriage will soon fail. This is a headache. If you can't figure it out, think about it later. The two of them were thinking about it, but the problems were different. Li Zhenhua quickly made a decision to discuss it with several leaders of the Government Affairs Council and then proceed. Adjustments require that the older ones come down to recuperate, and that capable young people step up to take over the burdens to form a new virtuous cycle. Otherwise, it will not work. You can't talk about those who want them to go at the meeting. You have to talk to them alone. When new people are promoted, it's easier to talk about it, but you also need to conduct an investigation to find out who is most suitable for the job. After counting Tang Jiong, find an opportunity for him to inspect some people. After thinking for a while, Li Zhenhua decided to go to Liu Kunyi's house to have a look. After deciding, Li Zhenhua said to Susan: "Miss Susan, I want to go out to Liu Kunyi's house, will you go with me?". At this time, Susan also had a final decision in her heart, that is, she must have a good relationship with Li Zhenhua. When the time is right, she will make an unexpected decision. She will never sacrifice her ultimate happiness for her own happiness. So she immediately said to Li Zhenhua: "Okay, I just want to do some exercise." When the relaxed Susan spoke, she would definitely be the most popular. Li Zhenhua didn't come to Liu Kunyi's house very often. This didn't mean that he didn't care about Liu Kunyi. His house contained many things that the emperor helped build, cars and heaters for winter. Comfortable seats, electric fans, the latest Jinlong brand pens, and other things that I can't even count. Liu Kunyi was not surprised when he saw the emperor coming. He just felt a little surprised. He knew that in the year of Jiawu, if Li Zhenhua hadn't sent Li Biao's fifth division defeated the Japanese army in Liaodong, and his end would be tragic. Either he would be captured by the enemy or die on the battlefield. Even if he escaped unscathed, the emperor and the queen mother would not forgive him. His life was over. The emperor showed great respect to these old people. The work was not tiring, the treatment was not low, and the face was not small. Anyway, he did everything he could. Especially for Li Hongzhang's funeral, they, the old people, admired the scene at the memorial service even more. Makuna was definitely not pretending, it was a genuine expression. From the moment Li Zhenhua walked in, Liu Kunyi started talking to him about Li Hongzhang. Li Zhenhua thought it was because of his own negligence in work that the old man was too tired. Liu Kunyi immediately said: "I don't think Prime Minister Li Hongzhang was originally a busy man in the Qing Dynasty. He is the one who handles everything. Now that the emperor has allowed him to stay in the capital, he is already taking care of him. I think Prime Minister Li will also know about it." Li Zhenhua said: "Don't say that it is useless for us to say anything now that Prime Minister Li is dead. Now I come to you with only one intention, that is, I can't let you continue working like this. I'm going to ask a few of you, experienced people, to just be my consultants.?You handle things as appropriate and don't hold specific positions, but all specific benefits remain the same as before without any adjustments. What do you think? "Liu Kun thought about it seriously and said that it is true that he is older. But historically speaking, these officials have worked until they die. There is no one who came down halfway. If he comes down, all his salary will be reduced accordingly. My original expenses were a lot, but it was not enough once I got there, but now the emperor has said that the treatment will remain the same, so there is no problem. In addition, there is another reason why people are not willing to come down, and that is because of the conflicts between various parties. It's very dangerous. If you don't have power, someone will attack you immediately, and you won't have the power to defend. This is why people will not let go of the power in their hands until they die. Now that politics has become clear, there is no longer any partisanship. Zheng naturally had no worries. After careful consideration, Liu Kun agreed to quit the Government Affairs Council and become a consultant. However, some things had to be returned to the emperor, such as the car, which he would not use in the future. If you don¡¯t work in the future, your salary will be reduced. But Li Zhenhua said: ¡°You can keep the car for your convenience and just make a phone call. The second salary will not be moved because your expenses were in the past. It would be bad if a lot of them were reduced all at once and your lives would be affected. From now on, your wages will no longer be called wages. Instead, they will be called pensions. In the future, lower-level workers and cadres can also receive pensions. This needs to form a system that lasts for a long time. Carry on. " Text Chapter 582 Adjustment Center (2) Chapter 582 Adjustment Center Two Chapter 582 Adjustment Center Two After hearing what Li Zhenhua said, Liu Kun immediately said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern for the veterans. This is the best. I think Zhang Zhidong will also happily agree. "After Li Zhenhua left, Liu Kunyi told his wife about this, and the old lady said with some suspicion: "The emperor did this to kill the donkey, right?" Liu Kunyi immediately said: "If the emperor is confused, he will be like this when the country is just established. At that time, there was no need for a few of us, but you see now that the emperor respects and respects all of us. When did I feel so happy in the past few decades in the Qing Dynasty? It turns out that it is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. But now when will you find me? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Our emperor is what Premier Li said. He is a wise king. From now on, we must let our children always listen to the emperor and never have second thoughts." After hearing this, the old lady understood. Your Majesty is so kind. Your Majesty has never been unhappy at work. Just like what your Majesty said, Your Majesty does not agree with the opinions of the subordinates. He also patiently tries to reason with us in our work and has never lost his temper with the ministers below. Li Zhenhua went to Zhang Zhidong again and explained the situation to Zhang Zhidong. Zhang Zhidong was also very happy and said: "Your Majesty, please stop making excuses. We all understand that things are different now from the former Qing Dynasty. We will work with you." This has been a proud few years. The emperor respects us veterans very much. Even if the emperor does not tell us, we know it. The veterans must explain it to others so that everyone can understand this. " Li Zhenhua: "Thank you very much, old people. "It's easy to finish the work of a few old people. At the same time, let some older cadres rest and promote some capable young people. They must be educated, knowledgeable and capable, and they must be sincere to the country." If a person has a good character and is a bad person, then he cannot use it no matter how capable he is. The difference between a good person and a bad person lies in whether he wants to work for the people wholeheartedly. Soon, the staff of the Government Affairs Council was completed. This time, three new people were added: Sun Wen, Wu Tingfang, and Zhao Hongyan. The original Minister of Industry, who was concurrently appointed by Zhang Zhidong, was appointed by Yan Boyu, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs was appointed by Li Jingfang. Xue Fucheng also stopped and became a consultant. The Ministry of Military Affairs changed its name to the Ministry of National Defense and the army became the National Defense Force. Duan Qirui was responsible for the specific work here, while Li Zhenhua still served as the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force. Zhang Youming, the garrison commander in Beijing, after this adjustment, Li Zhenhua discovered that his power was really It's too big. It's completely human. It's much bigger than the original Emperor of Japan and the Emperor of Germany. They still have some restrictions on their power, but I don't have any restrictions. This is a bit too inappropriate, right? It would be great to think of a way to create some democratic atmosphere. Li Zhenhua told his close friend, Miss Susan, what he was thinking and Susan laughed: "I have never seen anyone who wants to create obstacles for themselves. Isn't it great that you are like this? It will be much more convenient to work." Compared with the constitutional monarchy system of France and the Democratic Republic of the United States, I think this is the best way." Li Zhenhua immediately got a black line after hearing this. Isn't this a blind question? So Li Zhenhua patiently talked to Susan about the disadvantages of this. If the emperor's arbitrary actions were wrong, it would cause huge losses to the country and the people. There should be someone who can restrain the emperor's power to a certain extent. Susan said: "Your Majesty, I am not joking with you. In fact, I sincerely want you to carry out this way. Think about it. All the countries in the world, all the imperial countries, did not create the world by themselves, but inherited it." In the past, whether it was Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom or William II of Germany, they all inherited the throne of their fathers. They had no prestige among the people at all. In terms of their current abilities, what could they do? I'm not saying that if I take their position, I believe I will do better than them, right?" After hearing this, Li Zhenhua could only nod in agreement and Susan continued: "Why is this because you are in contact with the people below every day? The basic public. And the main reason for this problem is that if you do well, they cannot do well because they have completely failed to understand the people. Therefore, the old story of your empire will turn a deer into a horse. If the head of a country can understand. Will he still be deceived by the following?¡± "You can create some kind of democracy now, but no matter how democratic you are, it will be useless because people will only believe in you and not others. In your country, you are already the image of a god in the minds of the people. "Li Zhenhua thought that this was also true: "Then what should I do?" "You can create something similar to the West now?The social system has come out, but I believe it can only be one of your supporters. In other words, it is just a puppet and will not be of much use. " "Then I can't do nothing, right? " "The best way is to go down there often to learn more about the lives of the grassroots people. Only by knowing more can you make fewer or no mistakes. " Li Zhenhua thought: "This is definitely a wrong theory, but it cannot be said that she is unreasonable. "Li Zhenhua didn't get what he wanted. He had no choice but to do this first and talk about it later. Now he will probably have this result when discussing with anyone. Feng Yuqing came again. Susan was a little uncomfortable at first, thinking this was China. She shouldn't know about the empire's secret intelligence organization, but when she saw that Li Zhenhua was not wary of her at all, she relaxed and started working proactively. Today, Feng Yuqing only had one thing to say, and that was that the Russian navy had already begun. They have been dispatched. Now they are in the Indian Ocean and are coming east. Their intention is obvious, that is to support the defenders of Vladivostok to launch a counterattack against the Chinese Empire's army. If there is a chance, they will also have a fight with the Chinese Empire's navy. Seeing the burning situation of the Russian Navy, Li Zhenhua was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He immediately made a phone call and asked Navy Commander Deng Shichang to come over. Soon, people from the Navy came over, including Sa Zhenbing. Li Zhenhua showed them Feng Yuqing's information and asked them to express their opinions. He saw the Russian Navy's more than a hundred warships, large and small, and the accompanying transport ships Deng Shichang, Sa Zhenbing and Yu Qian. The three of them were very excited. Li Zhenhua said in his heart: "Who are these people? It's incredible that they all laughed happily when they saw the enemy attacking in large numbers. " Text Chapter 583 The Navy Prepares for War Chapter 583: Naval Preparation Chapter 583: Naval Preparation The senior leaders of the navy immediately became excited about the emergence of the Russian Navy. They had not fought a major war for many years and their hands were also a little itchy. If an army only trains and does not participate in combat, No matter how good the training is, it will gradually change its nature. Only through constant training in battle can one grow and grow stronger. They soon started arguing. They first learned about the composition of the enemy's fleet. First, they knew that the Russian navy's fleet was Stepan? Ospovich? Lieutenant General Makarov. Stepan? Ospovich? Lieutenant General Makarov was born in 1849 in Haishen, Russia. His family was a family of Russian naval officers. Due to the influence of his father, he has longed for sailing adventure and naval battle life since he was a child. In 1865, he graduated with honors from the Nikolayevsk Naval School and entered the Russian Navy. Mine boats were used to attack the Turkish armored fleet during the Russo-Turkish War from 1877 to 1878. And then Stepan? Ospovich? When Makarov was in charge of artillery work, he also invented armor-piercing warheads for artillery shells. From 1886 to 1896, he sailed around the world twice and wrote works on navigation, shipbuilding, hydrology, geography and other aspects. Promoted to rear admiral in 1890. In 1894, he was appointed Director of Naval Artillery to manufacture smokeless gunpowder. In the same year, he was appointed commander of the Mediterranean Fleet. The following year he was promoted to Vice Admiral and in 1898 he was appointed Commander of the Baltic Fleet. Designed the world's first icebreaker "Yermark" and sailed in the Arctic in 1899 and 1901. His classic battle was the Russo-Turkish War. Due to his outstanding performance in the Russo-Turkish War, he was directly promoted from Navy Captain to Naval Base Lieutenant Colonel. He can be called the first person in the Russian Navy. His flagship is the "Petropavlovsk". This time the Russian navy's lineup is very powerful. There are more than a hundred ships in number alone. The large ones include the "Ekaterina" and "Harlo". There are 12 battleships including the "Husband" and "Kirov", as well as 27 light and heavy cruisers, more than 30 destroyers, more than 20 other gunboats, and some long-range transport fleets. This time the Russian Czar was determined to fight to the death with the Chinese Empire. They have their most capable generals at sea and on land, but it¡¯s because of Crown Prince Alexei? Nikolayevich? The birth of Romanov made the army's cavalry general return early, but Stepan at sea? Ospovich? Lieutenant General Makarov could not go back because he had already set off from the sea and headed straight to the Far East. Several navy generals carefully studied the situation of the Russian Navy. They were determined to destroy the Russian Navy. It turned out that the Russian Navy's equipment was relatively old warships. Although they had completed their shipbuilding plan before, their warships were unable to engage in naval battles. The concept is still outdated. In terms of their battleships, their tonnage is about the same as our cruiser's, but their speed is much different. Their battleship's speed is only 20 knots, while our cruiser's speed has reached 25 knots because it is in formation with the aircraft carrier. It seems that the speed of the fleet is 25 knots. It is not the fastest battleship but the slowest battleship. Otherwise, how long would the queue of battleships be? Although the main factor affecting speed is the armor of warships, their armor is not strong. Their armored ships are only four to five thousand tons, similar to the ones that first captured the French navy. The Russian navy in Vladivostok now has a pitiful force. They have 7 battleships, 4 armored cruisers, 7 protected cruisers in the Far East. There are 25 destroyers, 21 torpedo boats, 7 gunboats, and 4 auxiliary ships. Although they have secretly entered some warships in Vladivostok, they have not made much progress. According to the current equipment of the Russian Navy, we can fight them with all the warships we used against Japan. However, there is no need to completely take out some of our current equipment. We can only use things that people in the world already know. Just fight them. Now there are differences in their preparations. The army is almost ready, but the navy has to wait at least until their Far East Squadron can reach the waters of the Chinese Empire. Then we can only fight separately. Not only do we have to separate the navy and the army, it seems that the navy also has to be separated because we simply don't allow their two fleets to be together. Li Zhenhua and his brothers in the East were not afraid of the large-scale arrival of the Russian navy, but his female secretary was a little worried because she had seen the majestic momentum of the most powerful British navy in the world. The battleships are the overlords of the sea. No one can do anything to them. In front of them, no one else is strong. Only they are the most powerful navy in the world. Li Zhenhua didn't say anything but said to her: "The Russian navy used to be ranked third in the world, but this time they are going to be downgraded again. No one knows exactly how high we are now, including me." Li ZhenhuaThis is not telling the truth. If I say second, I don¡¯t know who is first. But if we consume them, we have to let the Germans fire the first shot. We will not fire the first shot. We know our own strength. The Navy's "Beijing" aircraft carrier now has a new 7,000-ton class "Dalian", "Tangshan" and "Cangzhou" cruisers. We now have three ships, plus the original five. A few mountain-class warships are enough to send them into the sea. In addition, we also have a submarine force below the surface of the water. The current submarine is the third generation. It has a displacement of 2,300 tons. The underwater speed is 8 knots. The surface speed is 15 knots. The cruising range is 1,200 nautical miles. It can sail underwater for four hours on a single charge. The two front parts A launch tube behind the torpedo tube is equipped with twelve bombs. The most important thing is that it already has the capability of long-distance communication. The longest distance is one hundred kilometers. Being able to achieve this distance actually has a lot to do with a few foreigners. Is that the Italian Galilmo? Marconi, the Englishman Miller, the Russian Pov and the Englishman J? aFleming and several of the first Americans to come to the Chinese Empire. Li Zhenhua provided them with a broad environment in the name of the country. It turned out that many of the experiments they conducted were conducted by themselves. However, the Chinese Empire summoned them to the Chinese Empire in the name of the country to conduct experiments and gave them very generous treatment and experimental conditions. Soon these people were gathered together, and these scientific madmen soon further extended the radio communication distance. In their view, the scientific research institutions of the Chinese Empire have whatever they want. As long as you can think of it, you will definitely get support. Therefore, their results are also advancing rapidly, and the communication distance will soon be extended to one hundred kilometers. However, the distance for broadcasting and communication under some fixed conditions is even further, reaching more than a thousand kilometers. Text Chapter 584: Naval Preparation for War (2) Chapter 584: Naval Preparation (2) Chapter 584: Naval Preparation (2) They were able to come to Beijing. It turned out that the intelligence department was prepared to take extraordinary measures, but when they knew that they could get the experiment they wanted, they quickly agreed. After the arrival of the Chinese Empire, the intelligence agencies stationed abroad had a specific task, that is, as long as some patents, excellent papers, etc. appeared, they would be reported to the emperor as quickly as possible. Under the emperor's instruction, there are some specialized agencies in various places. Personnel responsible for this work. Several people from the Navy began to study the battlefield. It was not advisable to choose a suitable place in the Indian Ocean. Logistics support work was obviously not conducive to them. It was not good to choose an area close to Guangzhou in the South China Sea. What if the Russian warships were to attack? If we come over, the lives, properties, businesses, etc. of the people may suffer losses. This is not possible, so we have to fight them in a decisive battle between the west of Scarborough Shoal and the Paracel Islands. This is a more ideal battlefield. However, we must also consider that the Russian Navy does not go through the Strait of Malacca but passes through the Sunda Strait and then takes the Maluku Sea from the sea east of the Philippines to the north to meet with their Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok. In this way, the battlefield can only choose to use cruisers in the area east of Okinawa. The leader of the team intercepted them on the sea east of Naha, and the aircraft carrier was about to wait in hiding to the west of Naha. "These are two options, it depends on how the Russian navy comes to the door and gets beaten. But no matter how they go, they can't hide from our sight. They are inseparable from the entire sea area of ????Lanfang Republic. Soon a few people had finalized a specific combat plan and then conducted some analysis and finally decided to deploy three new warships, the "Tangshan" and the "Cangzhou", the original mountain-class "Tianshan", "Songshan", A total of seven cruisers "Huashan" and "Dongshan" went to Taiwan waters for combined training. Destroyers 031, 032, 033, 035, 036, 038, 039, six frigates 201, 202, 203, 205, 208, 209 and five submarines. The force mobilized 521 boats, 522 boats, 523 boats, 531 boats, and 532 boats. The ships also quickly concentrated in Taiwan waters. The aircraft carrier "Beijing" has also entered the South China Sea area and is ready to respond at any time. Its entire battle group includes the new cruiser "Dalian" and the original cruisers "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River" as well as frigates 204, 206, 207 and submarines 533, 534 and 535. Logistics is also prepared by two aspects. Lin Yongsheng¡¯s South China Sea Fleet Headquarters and Liu Buchan of the Taiwan Fleet are responsible for who is responsible for attacking in whose defense zone the main issue is medical support. The navy is going to give the Russian Navy a welcome gift in the area above. When it came to November, Russia's preparations were already in place. However, due to the resignation of the commander-in-chief, several commanders below were at odds. That is, the troops in the front were still asking for more troops, but behind them they said that there was no way. Tsar Nicholas II When Kuropatkin arrived in the Far East, he sent a new commander-in-chief to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Russian Army in the Far East. When he arrived in the Far East, he saw that the weather had turned cold and the river had already frozen. There was no natural danger in front of him. However, the Russian army missed their best opportunity to send troops. According to the Chinese Empire, it was "all in one go", but they waited in the border area and failed to seize the opportunity to attack. The morale of the soldiers has been low. The key is the weather. It's getting colder, and the Russian army's logistical supply has already had problems. The soldiers eat a lot of potatoes, but the cotton-padded clothes are not enough. The soldiers are so calm that they hide their hands in their clothes every day and don't dare to come out. How can they fight? At the beginning of the month, Li Zhenhua held a military meeting in his office. All the Prime Minister's members of the Government Affairs Council were present. In addition, relevant personnel from the Ministry of National Defense, including the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Armament Department and the Intelligence Department, were all present. Defense Minister Duan Qirui was the leader. The General Staff Department is headed by Wang Shizhen, Liu Yongqiang is from the General Logistics Department, Zhang Xinghua is from the General Armament Department, and Feng Yuqing is from the Intelligence Department. The two groups of people are sitting on both sides. Li Zhenhua wants to make it clear to everyone today that he will take command of the battle against the Russian army. It turns out that he wanted Feng Guozhang to go to the north instead of him. But now Feng Guozhang can no longer go out. He has to take charge at home. Since the death of Li Hongzhang, all his work has gradually become smoother. With him at home, there will be no problems. In addition, there are several other committee members who are all experts in all aspects, so there will be nothing to worry about at home. In terms of military affairs, it can be said that several people in the Government Affairs Council have been tested by war. Even the female compatriot Zhao Hongyan has participated in many battles. However, Sun Wen is rare and Wu Tingfang has not experienced war. Now when Li Zhenhua proposed that he would go to the After the request to go to the front line, no one said anything. Everyone was unwilling to let him go anyway, but Li Zhenhua had a hundred reasons to go. Everyone had no way to talk about war strategies. This emperor was really not something ordinary people could do. Comparable. From his combat experience,?There is no record of failure, and under his leadership, his own national defense force often surprises and makes it difficult to guard against. No matter whether it is the Japanese, Russians or French, they will not be easy in his hands. It is best to have him. It is guaranteed that we will achieve the greatest victory. Seeing that Li Zhenhua had made up his mind, no one was willing to speak. It wasn't that no one was willing to speak, but that it would probably be useless if he spoke. The meeting ended quickly, leaving the officers of the Ministry of National Defense to wait for a while. Then Li Zhenhua and Feng Guozhang briefly talked for a while, asking him to work boldly. It doesn't matter if we made a mistake. We can correct it. Not everyone can do everything. Many things need to be verified by facts in the future. Here he quoted a saying that is "crossing the river by feeling for the stones." After the civilian officials left, only the officers were left. First, Feng Yuqing from the Intelligence Department introduced the situation. Feng Yuqing gave everyone a detailed introduction to the Russian army's ground situation, mainly talking about the situation of their three garrisons. Within Russia, the ruling group headed by the Tsar was not monolithic on the issue of war against the Chinese Empire but had two factions of opinions. But in terms of the basic aspect of seizing territory from the Chinese Empire, the two factions were of the same kind. They were both loyal executors of the Tsarist government's policy of aggression and expansion in the Far East. Their differences were mainly over strategy. ? One faction is led by Finance Minister Sergei? Witte and Foreign Minister Ramsdorf were represented. They saw that Russia was facing difficulties both domestically and internationally (including in Europe and the Far East) and suggested that they should not easily launch a war against the Chinese Empire but should make certain concessions while strengthening economic plunder and war preparations in surrounding areas. The lake section is fully opened to traffic and the transportation capacity is improved. The Vladivostok Fortress is fully completed and we will wait for an opportunity for a decisive battle. The other faction is Alexander, the minister of the imperial court? Bezobrazov, Minister of Internal Affairs Vyacheslav? Representatives include Plevi and others. This is a group of fanatical chauvinists and imperialist adventurers. They underestimated the power of the Chinese Empire and believed that the Chinese Empire was vulnerable. Russia "needs a small and victorious war to stop it." "Only by unequivocally making China The empire understood that Russia was prepared to defend its interests in Manchuria, even if necessary, by resorting to force. Only then could it expect the war to succeed, so it advocated being tough on the Chinese empire. The closer the country gets, the more these people want to find a way out of the war. Text Chapter 585 The Russian army began to attack Chapter 585 The Russian army began to attack. Chapter 585 The Russian army began to attack. There are 3 field groups: the right wing is the 2nd Army, commanded by General Kaulbas, and the front width is 25 kilometers. The central part is the 3rd Army, commanded by Bilderinger. The frontal width of the command reached 20 kilometers. The left wing of the 1st Army, commanded by General Linevich, had a frontal width of 45 kilometers. ""The exposed flanks are covered by troops. The total strength of the Russian army on the Khabarov front reached 330,000 men, 1,266 artillery pieces and 56 machine guns. Under the repeated urging of the Tsarist government who was afraid of the explosion, Alexey, the Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Theater? Nikolayevich? General Kuropatkin decided to launch the long-awaited offensive. On November 17, 1904, the Russian troops in the central cluster successfully "crossed" the Ussuri River without any obstruction from the opponent. The Chinese Imperial Army on the opposite side had already given them a piece of farmland. An open space where they can deploy large groups of troops. Building fortifications on flat ground is something that every soldier of the Chinese Empire will not do. Make good use of terrain and features. This is the most basic basic knowledge when studying in a military academy. There is a small mountain range five hundred meters from the border to the back. The terrain there is relatively better than on flat land. The commanders of the Russian army also saw that the Chinese Empire's army had no defensive troops in this open space, but every piece of farmland in the hands of the Chinese Empire's artillery had its coordinates marked on the snow-white earth. The dirty boots of the Russian soldiers stepped on it, creating a commotion everywhere. The Russian army crossing the river began to organize their troops. The officers' roars came and the soldiers quickly stood up. An officer gave a command and the troops began to advance forward. Although they knew that the opposite side was the place of death, soldiers were made to sacrifice. Although the soldiers were a little scared, they still moved forward under the orders of the officers. The Russian army's brigade was advancing forward in a frontal formation up to 300 meters wide, flying their St. Andrew's tricolor flag. On both sides were cavalry, and some were infantry with rifles on their shoulders. At the front of the entire attacking formation was a The band conductor holding the band conductor's flag reached three hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain. The band conductor's flag drew an elegant arc in the air and then pulled it downwards. All the band members began to play music. Russian infantrymen The steps are becoming more and more orderly. The footsteps on the frozen ground made a neat roar. Following the officers' command, the Russian soldiers changed from shoulder guns to holding rifles. The bayonets in the gunners were stretched forward and shining dazzlingly in the sun. This momentum was enough to make anyone People are afraid. The Chinese Empire's National Defense Forces have built two fortifications here at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside. Seeing the Russian army begin to attack, the officers and soldiers entered their own defensive positions. Most of the soldiers had never seen this traditional attack method of the Russian army. Most of the soldiers have retired, and now most of them are new recruits. These new recruits are very uncomfortable with this method of attack. Many people's fingers are already trembling. Twenty-three-year-old Mao Sanwa is a squad leader. Five years ago, when he was still a recruit, he participated in the last war against the Russian army. Under the leadership of the then commander-in-chief and now the emperor, they won the war against Russia with a small victory and a large number. After a few years of victory, he had transformed from a peasant who knew nothing to a veteran who was proficient in various techniques and tactics. He had already found that his soldiers were panicking. He coughed and shouted to the new recruits. : "Brothers, stop staring at those old fools. They are still far away. You will see how I teach those old fools in a moment." "Squad leader, are they doing queue exercises? Why are there people playing music?" "That's what they call it. Do you know that when someone dies here, there will be a sound and their death will be done in a grand manner? "A veteran said on the side and the soldiers laughed. "Don't laugh at me. That's a tactic specifically designed to scare the timid, are you afraid?" Mao Sanwa asked. "No" the soldiers answered together. When they saw the relaxed look of the squad leader and saw that none of the veterans were nervous, their hearts relaxed. Mao Sanwa simply asked all the new soldiers to come down, threw them a cigarette, and said to them: "Don't be afraid of how many people we had when we fought against Lao Maozi. It was sixty thousand to two hundred thousand, one to three of them." How many people do we have now? That¡¯s more than 150,000 people per one of their 200,000. " "Look at the guys we have. They are much stronger than their crappy things. Remember, you are not allowed to play with bayonets. The old man is a big man and has a long gun. We don't take advantage. We're far away. Use the gun to get close. Throw grenades. If you really encounter them, don't panic. Three of you form a group and hit one of them. You still can't do it. If you really can't, then go home. Watch me while I nurse, don't embarrass me here." The soldiers all laughed when they heard the squad leader's words. The atmosphere in the entire trench suddenly relaxed. An old man responsible for observationThe soldier didn't look back and said to them: "One hundred and fifty meters." Mao Sanwa said: "Put your helmet on for me. It's a life-saving thing. Slowly stick your head out and do it as I usually say." Get ready to listen to the company commander's order and fire together." The soldiers got ready together and slowly stretched out their heads and began to aim at the enemy. The Russian machine guns on both sides started shooting. Their shooters seemed to have little training and were shooting very high. However, the Russian cavalry on both sides began to charge. Immediately, machine guns greeted their fast and advanced horses, which fell one by one. The cavalry on the horse flew out from the horse. In the face of the powerful firepower, the cavalry charge was quickly stopped. The infantry in the middle were still waiting. They didn't need to worry about the cavalry on both sides. There were people responsible for attacking the Russian cavalry. After entering a hundred meters, the Russian soldiers accelerated their pace and then started to trot. After a while, they began to accelerate and the real battle began. They charged, shouting "Ula" loudly as they ran, and rushed past the musicians at the front. Mao Sanwa's company commander raised his right hand. Everyone knew what he meant: it was a gesture to prepare them to start shooting. Finally, the enemy had entered fifty meters. The company commander roared: "Hit" and at the same time, the gun in his hand also fired. There was a sound, and a Russian soldier who rushed to the front fell to the ground. Text Chapter 586 The Russian offensive begins (2) Chapter 586 The Russian attack began. Chapter 586 The Russian attack began. Suddenly all the guns fired together. The heavy machine guns swept over fiercely, and the enemies fell. The light machine guns also hit the alley, and the rifles also came together. Shoot the enemies in front and soon they will fall down. The big soldiers will also explode when throwing grenades at them. The mortars from behind also started firing. They were attacking the enemy behind. In this sudden moment, hundreds of Russian troops fell in front of the position. The enemies behind turned around and ran back. How could it be that easy? If you still want to run away, there will be bullets chasing after you and knocking them down. The first charge of the Russian army ended quickly after hundreds of people were eliminated. The health worker from the company ran over and asked, "Brothers, are there any injured?" Mao Sanwa smiled and said, "Hygienist, I think you'd better go to other squads and have a look. Our training winning squad doesn't have any wounded, those old idiots." We pushed him back before he even thought about shooting. "The little health worker immediately went to other squads without talking nonsense. The company commander asked him to come to each squad to check on the situation of each squad and platoon to see if there were any casualties. That would be great. The health worker went to other positions again. The situation was quickly reported to a battalion that stood firm. There were basically no casualties. They knocked out the enemy from the beginning and retreated before they had time to fight back. The commander-in-chief of the Russian Far East Army, General Kuropatkin, was holding a telescope in his hand and looking into the distance. Although he is also a hardliner against the opponents of the Chinese Empire, when he got here, many officers below were there. Talking about the misfortune of the Chinese Imperial team on the opposite side, his original idea of ??looking down on the Chinese Imperial team began to waver. It turned out that he had been to the "Qing" country before and had no good impression of the braided soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. He thought they were just some people wearing clothes. The common people in military uniforms and the cold weapons in their hands are no match for the well-equipped Russian army. Now he also has doubts about his original judgment. It turned out that he only thought that the former Russian commander underestimated the enemy, which allowed the people of the Chinese Empire to take advantage. The other party had changed dynasties and the strength of the army would definitely be affected. But from this exchange of fire, he It can be seen that the army on the opposite side is not a weak army, they are a well-trained army. Admiral Kuropatkin asked an officer: "Who is the main commander of the Chinese Imperial Army opposite? What are his characteristics?" None of his generals could agree to come up. A low-level staff officer in the distance said: "Opposite is their Xing'anling general Zhang Zuolin. I heard that this man was originally a company commander but was promoted to a general by their emperor." "Nonsense, do you know how big the difference is between a captain, a company commander and a general? Isn't this true? Possible thing." A general scolded the staff officer. The commander-in-chief, General Kuropatkin, waved his hand and said: "As far as I know, His Majesty has indeed promoted many generals. Many of his generals are not formal military officer school graduates. It is said that he Isn¡¯t it strange that he is a student but he himself has never really attended a military school?¡± But no one among the generals under his command could answer his question. So General Kuropatkin ordered to continue the offensive to capture the opposite Chinese Empire's position. Soon the duel of blood and fire began again on the battlefield. About five kilometers behind the front line, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Li Zhenhua, was discussing matters with his generals. Feng Yuqing came in and handed a document in his hand to Li Zhenhua. He immediately started to read: Alek Thanks? Nikolayevich? General Kuropatkin was born in 1848 Russian infantry general. Born in Holm County, Skov Province, Russia. After graduating from the Pavlov Military School in 1866, he served in the Turkestan garrison. Graduated from the General Staff Military Academy in 1874. During the Russo-Turkish War in 1877, he successively served as the associate officer of the Combat Forces Headquarters and the Chief of Staff of the Infantry Division. After the war, he was transferred to the General Headquarters. In 1898 he was appointed Minister of War of Russia. Promoted to general of infantry in 1901. Since 1904, he has successively served as commander of the Army Group and commander-in-chief of the Far East Armed Forces. Kuropatkin was a capable and efficient military administrator and a competent staff officer, but he was too passive and cautious and lacked initiative and self-confidence. His old superior, Spikolev, once warned him: "Alexei ? Nikolayevich hopes that you will never assume the position of commander when the country is in trouble because although you will make good plans, you do not have the strong perseverance to carry them out. "This job of the Intelligence Department. The intelligence introduced Kuropatkin's situation in detail. Although the information arrived a little late, it gave the senior officials of the Chinese Empire an accurate understanding of his situation. Li Zhenhua said to everyone: "You should also take a look. This guy turns out to be a popular figure in the hands of the Tsar. ButWhat his old superior said to him was too outrageous. He would definitely be unhappy if he was not allowed to be the chief officer. " Several main officers began to read the introduction to Kuropatkin. But Li Zhenhua looked at the map on the wall and pondered. This question is as passive and cautious as the intelligence said, so he will definitely be timid and afraid of trouble. If we If we cut off his retreat now, he will definitely run back, and this battle will be difficult to fight. Now that we are fighting him on the border, it seems that we have to give him some sweeteners to make him stride forward. If the advance further lengthens his logistics line and leaves their railway, his life will definitely be more difficult. During the time when Li Zhenhua was thinking, several generals looked at Kuropatkin's situation and some of them became interested in him. New acquaintance Zhang Zuolin said: "If he is timid, then we can beat him severely and tell him to go back. " Chief of General Staff Wang Shizhen said: "This is not good. We just have to take advantage of his shortcomings to strive for greater benefits. " Cai E said on the side: "I agree with the Chief of General Staff's opinion. It will be more advantageous for us to retreat appropriately and lengthen their logistics line so that they can't take care of themselves. " Zhang Zuolin was not a fool. He thought of it immediately, so he said: "Your Majesty, let's retreat step by step and wait until there is a problem with their supply. The weather will get colder and colder. When they can't stand the cold anymore, we will give it to them. A major counterattack will take down Khabarovsk in one fell swoop. " Text Chapter 587 Lure the enemy deeper Chapter 587: Lure the Enemy Deeper Chapter 587: Lure the Enemy Deeper Chapter 587: Lure the Enemy Deeper When Li Zhenhua saw that everyone had the same idea as him, he said: "Since everyone has the same opinion, we will bring them in as planned. Use our best skills The guerrilla warfare destroyed their communication lines and made it difficult for them to wait until there was a problem with their supply lines before annihilating them. "A staff officer came in and brought another telegram and gave it to Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua saw that it was a telegram from Mongolia. Without looking at it, he knew that they couldn't wait and asked to attack. When he saw that, he immediately said to the staff officer: "Call them back immediately and order them not to act rashly. They must wait for the order before attacking." Wang Shizhen immediately added: "Tell them that the order is not Those who violate orders are guilty even if they win. "Li Zhenhua said to Zhang Zuolin: "Lao Zhang ordered your troops to fight there for two days and then start to retreat. It is best to leave something for others so that they will not know that it is us. Those who are retreating should make them think that they were the ones who defeated it. Don¡¯t scare General Kuropatkin. Let your troops try to capture the general alive so that people can open their eyes.¡± People laughed together. But as soon as the order was issued, before people started to worry, the situation changed. A staff officer came to report to Li Zhenhua: "The first and second Russian army groups began to move southward with the purpose of outflanking our center troops." "Okay, let the troops continue to observe them." This is the Russian army. The army created an opportunity for us. They themselves want to lengthen the logistics support line. Well, you are helping us and we can't be ignorant. So Li Zhenhua immediately issued another order. The troops in the center persisted until night and began to actively retreat to the rear. At the same time, tell them that enemy troops have been discovered on the east and west flanks. The troops in Zhongcheng were fighting with the enemy, but immediately a messenger came to issue an order for them to withdraw from the fighting force at night. Some officers and soldiers had objections, but they still resolutely carried out the order. They knew that their emperor We have arrived at the front line. Under the leadership of the Emperor, our border guards have never lost a battle. This must be a new plan from above. This must be to better eliminate the enemy. On November 17, the Russian army successfully occupied the position of the border guard. When the troops in front reported to General Kuropatkin that they had successfully occupied the position of the Chinese Imperial Army, General Kuropatkin said happily. : "They are still afraid of us. They are afraid of being surrounded by us on both sides and eaten, so they can only retreat quickly." The border guards quickly retreated back more than 60 kilometers and once again occupied favorable terrain and began to prepare. He held his position, but the enemy quickly followed. The border guards resisted for a while, then gave up the defense and continued to retreat southward. This time, General Bill Grinder, who was more than 100 kilometers away, immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack. He was afraid of going too deep. The hinterland of the Chinese Empire was eaten by the other side. However, as the commander-in-chief, Kuropatkin ordered the three armies to rush towards the south together. The total army of the Chinese Empire was only a few hundred thousand. I am more than 300,000. If you include the logistics department, your military strength must have exceeded 400,000. Kuropatkin is considering that the weather is getting colder. Many soldiers in the Russian army have not yet worn winter clothes. The weather is not good for his troops. As the logistics supply line is stretched, the battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise it will take a long time. It is of no benefit to us. Didn¡¯t the last war have guerrillas from the Chinese Empire seriously damaging our logistics supply lines and causing problems in our logistics? This time we have to be wary of this problem. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? said admiral kulopatkin, a former staff officer, has some brains, but it can't be said that he is a fool. he can really see his own problems. As the border defense force, the general headquarters here is also considering that we can no longer retreat. The distance from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok is about 600 kilometers. Now we have retreated 200 kilometers. The distance to the Russian army in the south is only 400 kilometers. If it is to the south If the Russian army attacks to the north again, we will have to fight on two fronts. The closer the distance is, we will be attacked from both sides and will be attacked from both sides. This is not good for us. We have to guard against the enemy coming to us all of a sudden. So on the one hand, Li Zhenhua ordered the troops on the northern front to resolutely block the enemy, and at the same time, he also closely monitored the enemies on the southern front and never allowed them to attack from both sides. Once the enemies on the southern front started to take action, we were passive. General Kuropatkin was also thinking about these. If he suppressed the enemy on the opposite side to the south, the Russian troops in Vladivostok could effectively support him. In this way, when the two sides fought, the Chinese Imperial Army in the middle would be on two sides. They are fighting on the front lines so that their logistics supply personnel can be replenished in all aspects. The two fronts need them. Even if they are fighting on the inside, the pressure on their logistics support will not be small. It is estimated that they will be able to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers by then.??The front can be pushed into the interior of the Chinese Empire. Kuropatkin immediately convened a meeting with the commanders of the three army groups. At the meeting, he said to the generals below: "Dear generals, thanks to your brave fighting, we have achieved victory in just a few days. They pushed back the Chinese Empire's army for more than 200 kilometers. This is the result of the hard work of all the generals. I believe that in a few days we will join our Vladivostok army at the front. I have ordered them to advance to the north as soon as possible to try to get us to the front. Let's hurry up and join forces here." Faced with the victory that has been achieved so far, the generals are also very excited. They also believe that victory will come soon. The defeat of the Chinese Empire is already a matter of time. People responded to Kuropatkin's words. With warm applause, they unanimously stated that they would do their best to join forces with the troops on the southern front as soon as possible and then push to the west to burn the war to the original land of the Chinese Empire. Complete their original "Yellow Russia Plan". The commander-in-chief of the Russian army, General Kuropatkin, issued a new order for the armies on both wings to speed up and advance in an attempt to encircle the border guards on the opposite side. General Kolbas of the Second Army Group on the right, General Bilderinger of the Third Army Group in the center, and General Linevich of the First Army Group on the left also expressed their desire to open the passage to Vladivostok as soon as possible. Push the war as quickly as possible to the black land of the Chinese Empire that they dream of. After two retreats, the morale of the border guards was also affected. If they retreated further, they would be unable to retreat. Some officers and soldiers at the grassroots level complained a lot, but they once again received the order to retreat. After another night of forced march, they arrived. In the Wanghu Mountain area, opposite the river is the famous Hutou Town, but after the Russians occupied it, they called it Dakonerechensk. Text Chapter 588 The fate of the right wing Chapter 588 The fate of the right wing Chapter 588 The fate of the right wing When they arrived here, the grumbling officers and soldiers seemed to understand that the terrain here was too favorable to them. There were mountains behind them, but the direction facing the Russian army was a stretch of the Ussuri River. Although it is already winter on the tributaries and the river surface has frozen, the layer of ice on the river surface makes it difficult for the enemy to come over smoothly. These are only one aspect that the soldiers saw. "" The situation grasped above is even more unfavorable to the enemy. A ridge to the north of this mountainous area has separated the Russian right-wing troops from the central part. At first, this mountain ridge didn't look big, but as the troops advanced, the distance between the two sides became farther and farther. Later, the right troops could no longer advance because they had to cross the mountain to meet up with the central troops. But to the west of them is a big river blocking them. To the west is the original land of the Chinese Empire. The commander of the right-wing forces, General Kaulbas, does not dare to order the troops to enter the west. Who knows if there is China there? The army of the empire is waiting for them. Seeing that the enemy had automatically divided into two parts according to their own ideas, the senior commanders of the border defense army who had moved their headquarters to Hutou Village immediately began to take action. The troops in various regions who had been waiting here were also ready to go. Wang Shizhen replaced Li Zhenhua and issued orders one after another. The third division of the First Army guarding the southern mountainous area made an all-out assault to the north, completely separating the two enemy groups and forming an encirclement in the east. The first and second divisions were responsible for the encirclement in the south and west and were stationed in The Second Army of Hutou Village left one division to defend the riverside, and the two divisions quickly moved eastward to join the First Division to seal the encirclement. In addition, they sent troops to prepare to block the enemy's plan to join forces. The Third Army, which is responsible for luring the enemy deep, must resolutely attract the enemy to the southern front and prevent them from advancing a step. At the same time, they must not let them escape. The battle with the enemy must persist for three days. The large army can eat them completely. The troops of the Third Army must pay special attention to preserving their own strength and kill a large number of enemies without overdoing it. After consuming your own strength, you still have a difficult task. The artillery force will launch a high-intensity strike against the enemy starting tomorrow. After they complete the encirclement, the armored force and air force will also be mobilized to actively cooperate with them to strike against the enemy's large forces. Within three days, this group of more than 100,000 people will be attacked. All the right wing troops were wiped out. The armored division also entered its own position according to the plan prepared in advance. The Air Force has also made preparations. And all local troops must actively cooperate with the main force to attack the enemy. From now on, they must carry out all-round destruction of the enemy's logistics transportation lines to prevent them from transporting a single bullet or grain of food. By tomorrow morning, these 100,000 Russian troops will enter our encirclement. Three days later, the Russian army will reduce the establishment of these 100,000 troops. At six o'clock on the morning of the 20th, all the troops had arrived at their designated locations and completed the siege of the Russian army. Li Zhenhua came to the headquarters in the morning and saw the tired faces of Wang Shizhen and Zhang Zuolin and said to them: "It seems that you have all spent the night. How about not sleeping? Can you still hold on? There is no time to rest now." The two of them said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we were so happy just to see you fight the Russian army so easily this time. But it¡¯s not easy.¡± ¡°Well, stop bragging. People will just brag about you. I think it¡¯s almost time. Let¡¯s get started.¡± Wang Shizhen and Zhang Zuolin looked at each other and said at the same time, ¡°Let¡¯s get started.¡± They immediately passed various orders. The first thing that responded when the channel was passed down was the long-range artillery. In less than a minute, there was first a loud noise when artillery shells were fired from the artillery position, and then there was a sound from a distance. This burst of artillery fire had been going on for more than two hours. Li Zhenhua couldn't sit still anymore. He said to Wang Shizhen: "I'll leave this to you, Chief of Staff. I'll go to the front to take a look." Wang Shizhen said hurriedly: "That won't work. The front is too far. It's dangerous. As the emperor, you can't go to such a place." Zhang Zuolin also said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. These shells and bullets don't have eyes. How can we explain it to the people of the country if something happens? " "Don't worry. I know it well. I won't go to the front. I'm just going to take a closer look. Lao Zhang, please come with me. Just have the chief of staff here." After that, he didn't wait. Wang Shizhen and the others were talking about what they were talking about. They hurriedly arrived outside. This kind of road is not easy for cars. So the guards hurriedly led Li Zhenhua¡¯s horse over. Li Zhenhua got on the horse and a group of guards followed. Zhang Zuolin was also anxious and uncomfortable. The two of them walked forward together. Ran away. Two hours of artillery fire put the Russian troops completely into a situation of death. Never beforeAfter being trained to be bombed, the Russian soldiers were running around. When a shell fell, everything within a few dozen meters flew into the sky. All living things had no possibility of survival here. Only later did the Russian soldiers understand that if It would be better to lie down. This is an experience summed up with life and blood. The most hateful thing about these shells is that the planes flying in the sky will drop bombs wherever there are many people. Not only are they dropping bombs below, they are also guiding the artillery to hit those places where there are many people. The aircraft can only guide the artillery shells outside the visual range and the small artillery shells within the visual range, which is even more harmful. The artillerymen just stare at the Russian troops and hit wherever there are more people. They almost talk nonsense about empty cannons. when. The artillery shells of the border guards were not only high-explosive bombs but also some incendiary bombs, which caused a sea of ????fire wherever they hit. The officers and soldiers of the Russian army were all thinking about how many artillery shells the Chinese Empire had. Why were they not all fired? In this seven or eight square kilometers of land, one hundred thousand Russian troops were surrounded by more than one hundred thousand border guards. The Russian troops could not even see where the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were when they attacked them. After all, they couldn't care less about attacking now. The other party was desperately trying to find a place to save their lives first. Finally, they waited until the opponent's shells gradually became sparse. General Korbas, the commander of the Second Army Group on the right wing, was protected by his guards in a small ravine, where he was hiding from the cannonballs in the sky. His men only have a few people following him in front of him. The rest of them already don't know whether they are dead or alive. His chief of staff was blown away by a bomb in front of his eyes. None of the division commanders below are gone now. I don¡¯t know what happened to them. He wanted to gather the troops, but when he looked around, there was no messenger at all. Text Chapter 589 The fate of the right-wing Russian army Chapter 589 The Fate of the Russian Army on the Right Chapter 589 The Fate of the Russian Army on the Right The commander of the Second Army Group on the right, General Kaulback, looked into the distance again. Nothing could be seen in the distance, only the patches of smoke and dust raised by the explosion of artillery shells on the ground. The white snow could not be seen either. It had not been blown away but was buried. Some places were still on fire. Seeing that the opponent's artillery shells were missing, the commander, General Kaulback, said to the guards below: "Send people immediately. Contact all the troops and let them gather together. The enemy will attack soon. We will not be prepared for their attack." The guards looked at each other and had to split up to convey the general's order and let the troops gather together to prepare for defense. Soon there were gunshots and less intensive artillery sounds all around. It was the army of the Chinese Empire that had begun to attack. Hearing the sound, there were enemies everywhere. It seemed that he had been surrounded by enemies. He began to curse the commander in his heart. General Officer Kuropatkin, you keep saying that the enemy has been defeated and has no power to fight back. But my troops have been disabled by the enemy just by fighting back. This is why I blame myself for not keeping close contact with the center. Where are the troops together? This is also to blame that pig-brained commander Kuropatkin. What kind of information do you have? Did you beat the enemy away? They have dug a hole for us to jump into. We must report him in front of the Tsar when we get back. The immediate thing to do is to assemble the troops to resist the attack of the Chinese Imperial Academy. If they cannot assemble, they will be completely waiting to be wiped out by the opponent. A guard hung up his commander's flag and flew it high in the air. A low-level staff officer said to him hastily: "Sir, it is best not to hang up this commander's flag. If it attracts enemy artillery fire, it will be a disaster for us." It doesn't matter, sir, your life is important." General Kolbak thought right and hurriedly asked the soldiers to take down his flag. However, it still attracted the opponent's artillery fire and several guards fell down. Since the morning, the Chinese Empire had been shelling first, then attacking on the ground, and bombing from the air. They never stopped. It was not until the afternoon that the guards gathered some troops, but they did not dare to get too close. If it's too close, it will definitely attract artillery fire from the other side, and the attacks from all around have not stopped. General Kolbach suddenly thought that he should not rush outside and ask someone to go to Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin and ask him to send troops to save him immediately, otherwise he would be in real danger. And the commander-in-chief Kuropatkin, who personally directed the troops to attack the center, also kicked the steel plate at this time. The troops that had been beaten to death by them many times from the beginning suddenly changed their style. It has become more powerful. A battalion of the Russian army rushed up and was immediately beaten down. Another regiment still failed. The classic European tactics did not work here at all, and the musicians in those bands were almost dead. There was no way to organize a band anymore. Then there is no need for them at all. He ordered all the soldiers to charge upward at the same time. The machine guns were not used to deal with the enemy. They became the specialized weapons of the supervising team. Anyone who dared to disobey orders and retreat would be dead. Under his direct command, the Russian army passed by. Many bloody battles have captured the first line of defense on the opposite side, and an unknown high ground on the side has changed hands several times. From the telescope, we could clearly see that the place was still in our hands. A dozen Russian soldiers were strengthening the fortifications there, but gunfire and artillery sounds soon came from there. The border guards on the opposite side began to attack them again. First, they attacked there with fierce artillery fire. A group of soldiers below who were charging forward appeared in front of the Russian army as soon as the artillery fire stopped. With the explosion of several grenades and the firing of rifles, only a dozen soldiers wearing border guard camouflage uniforms and helmets rushed forward. The Russian soldiers guarding the high ground picked up their rifles with bayonets and were about to start fighting when they saw their hands raised or their waists bent and they fell down. They could not get close to the previous border guards of the Chinese Empire soldiers. The soldiers' heads, arms, and thighs were all covered with bandages. Even though he was wounded in many places, he still led his soldiers to the front. This person is the Mao Sanwa mentioned earlier. The second platoon leader of his company, which has basically eliminated all agents, pointed at the unknown high ground there and fell down without saying a word. Mao Sanwa left the rest. The soldiers organized and launched the most brutal charge here. None of the soldiers who came forward was uninjured, and he had been injured many times. As soon as the troops from behind came up, they used the engineer shovels they carried with them to dig soil in the broken trenches. They wanted to repair the fortifications before the enemy's next charge. As the several health soldiers came up, they wanted to Mao Sanwa and his comrades all carried them down. Mao Sanwa and the ten soldiers no longer had any strength, but he still said to the new company commander: "Company Commander, now we have completely handed over the position to you. Our mission has been completed. I hope you can defend the position." We're going down." The company commander said to him: "Comrade Acting Company Commander, we will definitely hold our position. Please go down with confidence." After saying that, he raised his hands and saluted his comrades solemnly. After performing a military salute, Mao Sanwa and his comrades were carried off the position. The enemy's attack has begun again. Now the Russian army's attack has no structure. They are just playing the human wave tactic. The soldiers of the entire battalion and regiment are rushing upward. Commander-in-chief General Kuropatkin, Lieutenant General Biedlinger, The death order must be to capture the opposite position as soon as possible and join forces with the troops to the south. The logistics support of the army has been stretched by nearly 300 kilometers. These 300 kilometers are no small matter. If horse-drawn carts are used to transport things, it will take five or six days to arrive. In these five or six days, something may happen. of. And General Bildlinger, the commander of Army Group Center, also gave a fatal order to the troops below him to capture the position today. Seeing that it was almost dark, a regiment commander gritted his teeth and gave an order to his regiment. Then another attack began. The Russian army's few artillery fire also began to fire, but their shells were too few. They could not hit it. How long did it take to stop. Under the command of the air, the artillery of the Third Army began to attack the enemy. The Russian army's attack was still intensive. Once the artillery shells fell, there were no living creatures within dozens of meters around it. It used to be a forest, but now there is basically nothing there. The explosion of artillery shells and the flames of incendiary bombs have destroyed large areas of woods. There are not many enemy soldiers who can actually rush to the front of the position. Seeing that the enemy was approaching, the soldiers guarding the first trench began rigorous shooting training and finally saw the results. Many soldiers fired at the enemy and hit the enemy with one shot. The enemy could not rush to the front to provide fire support from behind. The troops' light and heavy machine guns exerted a great firepower advantage, and their mortars also accurately hit their targets. The Russian soldiers flew away in the explosion of the artillery shells. Mud, guns, human and horse parts were flying everywhere. The Russian soldiers in the large group immediately began to run back as if they had encountered a disaster. In front of us, a row of more than a dozen machine guns were already waiting. An officer holding a flag in his hand waved the small flag downwards. The machine gun erupted with tongues of flame and hit his own soldiers. He saw the supervising team behind him. After actually shooting, the Russian soldiers who were retreating had no choice but to turn around and charge forward again. This time, if they didn't charge, they would die at the hands of their own people. This time they finally rushed to the opposite position. The supporting artillery fire behind the defensive side was powerless. Next, it was up to the infantry. The soldiers who were shooting at the enemy in the trenches immediately jumped up and started a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy. The twenty-gun guns in the hands of the company and platoon leaders exerted their maximum power at this time. At such a close distance, it was one shot at a time. When the Russian soldiers who rushed up at first saw that the Chinese Empire soldiers on the opposite side were shorter than themselves, they immediately pounced on them, aimed at the border guards, and stabbed them. However, those Chinese Empire soldiers were not helpless. They know how to fight with bayonets, but they are not willing to do that to the enemy. They immediately form a group of three. Two people block the enemy in front, and the person next to them can take advantage of the opportunity to strike. The person behind may also have a pistol. Maybe it's because the rifle is so easy to shoot. The weapons in the hands of the border guards are not only guns. The engineer shovels they have on hand are also very good weapons. The swing effect is sometimes better than the bayonet of a rifle. You can cut off the head of a Russian soldier to see the tension in front of you. The reserve team behind the situation immediately rushed up. Those running at the front were the grassroots companies and platoon leaders. The pistols in their hands were the best close combat weapons. One officer actually had two twenty-ring pistols in his hands. When the Russian officers at the back saw that the Russian army in front had taken a stand, they immediately ordered the troops at the back to quickly reinforce. However, the artillery in the Third Army and the divisions below refused. They immediately used artillery shells to form a formation in front of the enemy. A net of death fire was created so that the enemy could not get through at all. Without support from behind, the Russian soldiers finally exhausted all their forces and the 7th Division of the Third Army once again took the position firmly in their hands. After the Russian army exhausted all their strength, they finally stopped their attack today and the battlefield finally became quiet. Text Chapter 590 Please ask the emperor to intercede Chapter 590 Please intercede with the emperor. The central battlefield finally calmed down. The attack of the central group failed to achieve any further results after losing more than 6,000 people. On the western battlefield, the sound of artillery fire was still very fierce. The Russian Army General The commander, General Kuropatkin, knew that his right-wing Second Army Group must be in trouble. They had not contacted him for a day. General Kuropatkin cursed that pig-headed test in his heart. At the same time, General Erbas sent a small team of his to the right wing to ask you what is the problem there? Why didn't I contact the headquarters within a day? I don¡¯t need to worry about the things to the west for now, but I can¡¯t ignore the things in front of me. Kuropatkin sat there blankly, thinking hard about how to tear a hole in the troops on the opposite side for the whole day. There is no place where the Russian army can break through. These border guards of the Chinese Empire must be too capable. Suddenly a colonel came to him and saluted him and said: "Commander-in-Chief, please let me attack the enemy's position tonight. I must take it down." General Kuropatkin looked at what was in front of him. Colonel Kuropatkin knew him. His name was Martynov and he was a colonel. His regiment was a relatively good unit. When General Kuropatkin saw Martynov actively requesting a fight, he was immediately happy. Getting up, he said to Martynov: "Very well, Colonel Martynov, if you can take down the opposite position tonight and let our St. Andrew's tricolor flag fly high on the front position, I will definitely pay tribute to the Tsar." His Majesty suggested that if you upgrade your military rank, you will enter the ranks of generals. " "General, please rest assured that I will definitely keep the position firmly in my hands." Martynov firmly responded to the general's encouragement. . The regiment commanded by Colonel Martynov was trained by himself. It can be said that this is a force that exhausted his efforts, so it is also the main force of the Russian army. After Colonel Martynov got the consent of the commander-in-chief, he immediately ordered his troops to rest and then got up at one o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, he directly launched an attack on the opposite Chinese Empire's position. He must take down the opposite position before dawn. The troops ordered by Colonel Martynov immediately began to rest and prepare for the battle tomorrow morning. Harassing the resting enemy is a technique Li Zhenhua has implemented since long ago. Today, the troops in reserve have already begun preparing to attack the enemy after the sun goes down. Our own troops are on the second line, which makes many troops feel uncomfortable. But without an order, there is no way to act rashly. An order is an order. You must not take orders as a trifle. This is also a fundamental method for the border guards that has always been invincible. Now the troops who have received action orders Preparations began immediately. But what troubled Qin Guangming, the commander of the Eighth Division of the Third Army, was the new company commander who had just come off the battlefield. It was Mao Sanwa. He had been injured in many places, but his reason was that he wanted to save his comrades who were killed and injured. Revenge, the other is that he is familiar with the terrain in this area, and the third is that his injuries are not affected at all. He has been grinding here for almost half an hour since the task was arranged. It wouldn't be a big deal if he just went up as usual, but this Mao Sanwa has been injured in many places. According to his comrades, he has destroyed at least more than forty enemies. Qin Guangming really feels sorry for him. He is a good seedling in the future. If you train him well, you will be an excellent grassroots commander. He was considering whether to let him go up. Suddenly, the doorway turned dark and he saw a person walking in. From his steady steps, Qin Guangming had already recognized that it was the emperor. Having been at the front line for many days, he would definitely come to his unit to take a look. Sure enough, he is here now. Before he could speak, Mao Sanwa had already started speaking: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief." At the same time, he gave a military salute to the emperor. Li Zhenhua saw this Mao Sanwa at a glance and returned the gift to him. Seeing that his body was all injured, he stretched out his hand to shake his hand and asked with concern: "Just came down from the front?" "Yes, no, I have already rested. It's been a long time since I asked the Commander-in-Chief to approve my participation in tonight's operation." After hearing Mao Dun's answers, Qin Guangming immediately said to Li Zhenhua: "That's what happened. He has been fighting on the battlefield for a day and this has just happened. When I got down, I was thinking about participating in tonight's night raid. I haven't approved it, so he has been waiting here for half an hour. You have several injuries, didn't you sneak out of the hospital? " "Commander-in-Chief, it really doesn't matter, just let me go up. Our company only has less than thirty wounded people left. We must go and replace them. Let alone revenge, I am familiar with my home here.?What should I say if people around here ask me in the future? I beg the Commander-in-Chief. " He raised his hand again and saluted Li Zhenhua. Seeing his anxious look, Li Zhenhua couldn't say anything else, so he said to Qin Guangming: "If that doesn't work, let him go up. Familiarity with the terrain is a treasure. " When Qin Guangming saw that the emperor was relieved, he said nothing and could only nod. Mao Sanwa hurriedly saluted Li Zhenhua and Qin Guangming and said, "Thank you, commander in chief, thank you, division commander. I must fight this battle well. " Li Zhenhua asked hurriedly: "How about the recruitment of new recruits in your company? You can't go up there with dozens of wounded people. " "The commander-in-chief's staff has been replenished, not only new recruits but also some veterans. The entire company's cadres have also been recruited. But today I only selected thirty people to go up." After saying that, Mao Sanwa had already ran out of the door. Sun Feihu, who was following Li Zhenhua, said: "The leader's people are definitely not good. You will have to rest soon. I'll ask two people to help him." " Li Zhenhua knew what Sun Feihu meant at a glance. He also had itchy hands and wanted to go up and fight, but he wouldn't go. He would definitely let a few of his men go and fight. Such an attack would not be a bad thing for these guards. After many wars, Those who test are the real good guards. Li Zhenhua said to him: "Let them go but be careful. " "Yes" Sun Feihu walked out. Just as the female secretary standing aside was about to open her mouth, Li Zhenhua said immediately: "If you can't do it, stop talking. I won't agree. You have your job. " Text Chapter 591 Night Attack on the Enemy Camp Paid Chapter (12 o'clock) Chapter 591 Night Attack on the Enemy Camp Chapter 591 Night Attack on the Enemy Camp This place is the easternmost place in the Chinese Empire. It was dark early and people had eaten dinner. Except for the soldiers standing guard, sentry, and patrolling Other than that, people who should rest have already rested. However, during the war, people's vigilance is very high. Situations may occur at any time. The soldiers are also fully clothed and lying down, and they can enter the battle at any time. "Be prepared to wait for the danger" probably refers to this situation. Under the cover of darkness, small units set off one after another. They were going to deal with the tired Russian troops. Their purpose of attacking was very clear, which was to harass the enemy and prevent them from having a good rest. At the same time, if the enemy's headquarters was discovered, Then get rid of them when it's convenient, and set fire to the place where the troops are stationed. Anyway, there is no specific model to do it, whatever you want will do. In the military academies of the Chinese Empire, the teachers also teach that there is no fixed pattern and only adaptable processing can only achieve the purpose of tiring the enemy. Mao Sanwa led a small group of soldiers to the Russian army's forward position. However, there were two people in his group who were not his soldiers. They were the emperor's guards, Zhang Chuan and Wu Gang, who came to help. Mao Sanwa has long known that this is a junction between two enemy armies. Even if he encounters the Russian army, he is not afraid. Because he grew up here and has been in contact with Russians since he was a child, he can also speak some Russian as soon as he gets in touch. If the other party won't shoot first, then it's easy to say that your own people will definitely use this opportunity to deal with the enemy. After ten o'clock in the evening, gunshots rang out from all over the place one after another. Each team had already started to take action, but Mao Sanwa's team was still moving forward. The two open sentinels and three hidden sentinels of the Russian army had been blocked by them. After being cleaned up, they wanted to build a big place. If they didn't come, they would have already arrived. Then they had to let the Russian soldiers know the result of their "visit here". Mao Sanwa knew that there should be an enemy artillery unit in this direction. Most of the casualties among his comrades were caused by them. He came out today mainly to seek their bad luck. Finally, we found a Russian camp in front of us. It looked very large. Mao Sanwa thought this was the place. He stopped his team and asked everyone to gather around him. He said to everyone: "The enemy's artillery position is ahead. We must find a way to kill all their artillery and deal with the support force for their attack tomorrow." All the officers and soldiers agreed and the more than thirty people were divided into four groups, and the two emperor's guards were also with everyone. Six more soldiers were added behind the two. Their group is dedicated to dealing with the enemy's headquarters. Mao Sanwa's task is those cannons. The other two groups are used to support these two groups. Soon they dispersed. Mao Sanwa directly touched the cannons. Soon a Russian soldier asked in Russian: "Who are you? What do you want to do?" Mao Sanwa said: "We are the reconnaissance team. Something was wrong along the way when we just came back." Just as they were talking, a soldier next to him took action. He moved over and eliminated the soldier. The cannons had already appeared in front of them. They did not rush to deal with the cannons but continued to search. The other guards quickly eliminated two more enemies, and now the entire artillery position was completely open to them. They quickly found several storage areas for artillery shells, placed grenades in the middle of the shell boxes, pulled out the strings and connected them with ropes, then hid aside and waited for the action of the other group. Zhang Chuan and Wu Gang quietly found the place where the enemy's artillery chief lived. It was easy to tell who had the better house and who would be the senior officer. Sure enough, there were two guards sleeping in front of the door. They quietly went forward and killed them, then gently opened the door and entered the house. From the clothes he threw aside, it could be seen that this man's military rank was that of a colonel. That's the leader. Zhang Chuan stepped forward and woke up the colonel. He pressed a knife on his neck and smiled at him. The colonel felt that this was the most evil smile in the world, but it was the most effective method. He obediently asked Zhang Chuan to tie him up. A pair of stinky socks were stuffed into his mouth. They came to the door. A guard of the regiment leader heard the noise and came out. The sword in Wu Gang's hand flashed and a bright light flew out, and he inserted it directly. A grenade stuck in his throat to tell the small company commander that he had completed his mission and flew towards the tent where the soldiers lived next to him. Hearing the explosion here, Mao Sanwa fired a grenade over there. Soon the artillery shells also rang out. This was the best show tonight. The huge noise made all the Russian troops hear the various movements of the Russian army. The whole place was in chaos. They thought it was the army of the Chinese Empire that had entered their camp. With the enemy's confusion, Mao Sanwa and his party began to retreat, killing one of the enemy's artillery regiments and also captured a regiment leader. Today's harvest was not small, but Zhang Chuan and Wuhan Iron and Steel felt that today's operation was meaningless and not satisfying. Very soonA military camp nearby attracted them again. Zhang Chuan asked four soldiers to send the colonel back in advance, but the two of them said to Mao Sanwa: "Company Commander, it's too boring for us to go back like this. Let's go to the one next to him." Let¡¯s take a look at the military camp.¡± When Mao Sanwa heard that this was definitely his temper, he said to the soldiers below: ¡°How about we just do another thing of hunting rabbits?¡± The soldiers said in unison. Haomao Sanwa immediately said to the soldiers: "We are still the original group. Let's break up into the enemy's camp and leave without fighting. After half an hour, we will gather in front of the hilltop in the south." Several groups quickly entered. The enemy's camp The enemy has been awakened by the explosion just now. They are also in chaos here. However, the officers of this camp seem to have stricter restraints on the troops. The soldiers did not panic much and were calmed down by the officers. There were still a few An officer was shouting loudly. Suddenly bullets flew from nowhere and killed them. The troops that had been easily organized were in chaos again. The soldiers were running around and some were still shooting without purpose. Suddenly several tents caught fire, and soon they became a conflagration. Zhang Chuan and Wu Gang took the opportunity of the enemy's confusion. They had already found the enemy's headquarters. They threw grenades from a distance. A group of officers fell to the ground and lost their lives. The Russian soldiers who lost command became even more confused. Some of them had already ran out of the camp and fled towards the north. This soldier is not worthy of being a soldier. He may lose his life at any time. It is better to go home and surrender to the enemy. ?br/> A regiment of Colonel Martynov was not attacked by the border guards, probably because their camp was further back. However, due to the premature action of the border guards, they did not have a good rest. Colonel Martynov saw that Instead of letting the soldiers continue to rest, he asked the soldiers to start preparations in advance. The logistics staff prepared the night meal for the soldiers in advance. Each person had three potatoes, which was their staple food. Some soldiers did not dare to eat them all. It was carefully packaged. It was inside him and he didn't know if he would be able to eat it in the future. Soon they set off on a route that everyone was already familiar with. Right in front was the opponent's defense line. But unfortunately, they were attacked by their own people. It turned out that when their troops passed by another garrison camp, the troops there thought that they were the army of the Chinese Empire. Because these troops were stunned by the special operations of the border guards, they were also too confused and saw troops coming from their own. Passing by, they thought they were the border guards of the Chinese Empire, and bullets had been fired at them, so they immediately started shooting at them. The Martynov regiment, which was the main force, was not polite and immediately retaliated, and the two sides started fighting. Colonel Martynov, who was at the rear of the team, heard that there was a fight in front. He immediately came over and saw that the other party was a Russian camp. When he heard the gunshots from the other party, he knew that it was his own people who were fighting. He immediately ordered himself The troops stopped shooting and shouted to the other side: "Don't hit us. We are the Russian 189th Infantry Regiment. We are all our own people. We have misunderstood." The other side's gunfire also stopped soon. Although the loss was not large, there were still dozens of soldiers. There were casualties. This made Colonel Martynov very angry. He finally solved the problem. The Russian soldiers stopped shooting at his own troops. Colonel Martynov cursed the opposing troops, but there was no way to deal with it now. They were too late and had to let some soldiers send their wounded soldiers back while the rest of the troops continued to attack the border guard positions. The two armies will not fight easily. It turns out that it was Mao Sanwa who was retreating and they did a good job. They saw a group of Russian soldiers heading towards the front. It was estimated that they also wanted to launch a sneak attack on their own troops, so they just stepped in before they advanced. He fired at them and at the same time fired a few shots at the other side. Soon they started fighting on their own and saw Mao Sanwa and his comrades coming back together. And they now made the Russian army's timetable the same as before. Mao Sanwa said to Zhang Chuan and Wu Gang: "You two, please go ahead and tell our division commander that the enemy is going to launch a sneak attack on us. Let the family Be prepared earlier. We have a few wounded here. Their speed is slower. We have to let the enemy delay the report. I leave it to you. You go quickly." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome.

Text Chapter 592 General¡¯s Dream Chapter 592 The General¡¯s Dream Chapter 592 The General¡¯s Dream Zhang Chuan and Wu Gang didn¡¯t say much. They just looked after Mao Sanwa and they rushed back quickly. When they saw Commander Qin Guangming, they immediately reported to him that the Russian army was about to attack. When Qin Guangming heard about the sneak attack, he immediately began to arrange a machine gun company and two mortar companies and quickly entered the position. They wanted to use fierce firepower to meet these Russian troops who dared to come to sneak attack their position. At the same time, Qin Guangming also prepared two mortar groups and asked them to prepare more flares to illuminate their machine gunners. It would be difficult to fight with black lights. If there were flares, the situation would be different. Mao Sanwa and his soldiers continued to deal with the Russian army of the Martynov Regiment. He wanted to let the Russian army fight among themselves again, but failed. To fight against your own people requires certain conditions. If the conditions are not met, then there will be no success. They couldn't fight, but they still slowed down their speed so that they couldn't enter the forward position quickly. Although Colonel Martynov is not superstitious, he has ominous thoughts about what happened just now about his own people beating his own people and the constant attacks on him by these small troops. But since he has come out and there is no reason to go back, he can't go back with the general manager. The commander said: "I was afraid and didn't go." If he had been waiting for him like that, he would definitely be facing a military court. First, Mao Sanwa and several of his soldiers sent the wounded back, and then Mao Sanwa and the last of the soldiers came back. They even accurately informed the troops who prepared the pockets of the route. Colonel Martynov's troops finally arrived in front of the forward position. They faced silence without a sound. Colonel Martynov felt a little frightened by this situation. He carefully observed the opponent with a telescope and finally determined that China The empire was unprepared so he made a cross on his chest and ordered his troops to attack. The Russian soldiers were advancing quietly at first, and then they began to charge, shouting "Ula" loudly, and rushed towards the frontier position of the border guards. Suddenly, the Russian soldiers heard the sound of mortars being fired. Two flares quickly flew into the sky, illuminating everything below. Before the Russian soldiers could understand, the light and heavy machine guns had already opened fire. They were immediately ahead. The Russian soldiers fell down row by row, and the mortars also began to speak. The shells exploded among the Russian troops, and the Russian troops immediately entered this death zone. All the Russian soldiers panicked. They had never experienced such a violent blow. The surrounding comrades kept falling. The most terrible thing was those flares. They only illuminated the Russian army's place, but the side where the shooting was taking place was There was nothing to see at all, and who would fight back under such fierce firepower? Under the fierce attack of the soldiers, the Russian army suffered heavy losses. Martynov did not know what to do for a long time. A battalion commander next to him said to him: "Sir, let's retreat quickly. If this continues, our troops will be finished." Before the kid could finish his words, a bullet flew over and punched a hole in his head. The blood spattered out and made Colonel Martynov's face covered in blood. He didn't even bother to wipe the guards next to him. When this didn't work, they immediately set up Martynov and dragged him back to the back. Several machine guns of the Chinese Imperial Border Guards had tightly blocked the place. The Russian guards were ruthless and forced Marty Colonel Nove was brought out of the place of death. We finally reached a safe place. A few extremely tired guards put Martynov down. Martynov said to them: "Quickly count the losses and see how many people are left?" The remaining officers counted the team of two thousand people. The team now has less than 300 people. Colonel Martynov sighed: "I am completely finished." The commander-in-chief of the Russian army, General Kuropatkin, did not rest at all that night. In the beginning, it was the sneak attack by the Chinese Imperial Border Guards that prevented him from resting peacefully. Later, he was thinking about the sneak attack of Colonel Martynov's regiment on the Chinese Empire. It was not until dawn that he was confused for a while. Finally a guard came in and reported to him: "General, Colonel Martynov is back." General Kuropatkin immediately became interested: "Haha, Colonel Martynov is finally back. He is the most promising person in our empire. Officer, his return will definitely bring us good news. I will personally go to greet our hero." He did not see the guard who came in to report. The guard stood there with his head lowered. In Kuropatkin's feeling, these guards today. It¡¯s normal for them to feel lethargic after being exhausted during the night. Kuropatkin stepped out of the door. As soon as he went out, he saw that his beloved general was always clean and tidy, showing a military example and he didn't know where to go.Colonel Martynov appeared in front of Kuropatkin, his body covered in blood and his face wounded. He was supported by two guards and stood there. Seeing the image of Martynov, Kuropatkin My heart was completely cold. No need to ask him whether this was a defeat. Kuropatkin stabilized his mind and said to Martynov: "How did you promise me? Colonel, where have you thrown the honor of our Russian emperor?" "Kuropatkin gave Martynov a hard look, threw the gun at Martynov's feet and said to him: "Colonel, I won't let you go to the military court, you can handle it yourself. "Martynov saw that Admiral Kuropatkin was so determined towards him. He stood up straight and said to Kuropatkin: "General, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that they are too capable. Today I understand. One thing I have learned is that we will never be able to defeat them. Today I understand it, but you, General, will understand it tomorrow too.¡± With the sound of a gunshot, Colonel Martynov¡¯s dream of being a general ended completely. The blocking battle in the east was in full swing, and the battle to annihilate the Russian army in the southwest was also going on intensely. After a day and night of fighting, the Chinese Empire's approach to the Russian army was to encircle it rather than attack it. They were just using their superior firepower to consume it. The effective strength of the Russian army is 100,000. The Russian army cannot be said to be 100,000 now. After this battle, they have at least 30,000 to 40,000 people who are no longer capable of fighting. In other words, they are either dead or injured. Text Chapter 593 Hand-to-hand combat Chapter 593 Hand-to-Hand Combat Chapter 593 Hand-to-Hand Combat The Russian right-wing group army, which had been ravaged by the Chinese Imperial Border Guards all night, gave up some of its peripheral positions and moved closer to the center under the orders of its commander, General Korbas, in order to concentrate its forces. To deal with attacks by border guards. Their actions were in line with the wishes of the border guards. They hoped that the enemy could concentrate on themselves so that they could attack easily. This would save a lot of artillery shells. As a result, the Russian army really concentrated their troops. This made Wang Shizhen and Zhang Zuolin feel that God was helping them. . Seeing that the Russian army had gathered the staff and marked the new Russian subordinates on the map, Wang Shizhen said to Zhang Zuolin: "Old Zhang, what I mean is that we will continue to attack them with firepower today. Since they gave us a It would be a shame for them if we don¡¯t use this good opportunity.¡± Zhang Zuolin nodded and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s continue to beat them hard today to eliminate their effective forces. At the same time, we must also compress the encirclement and let some troops withdraw to rest and be ready at any time. Launch a general attack on them." He also punched the map with his fist. "Okay, give the order immediately and start taking action." Soon the artillery troops started shelling the Russian army again. Zhang Zuolin said to Wang Shizhen: "Our command post also needs to move forward. It is best to see the enemy directly. "Okay, just go ahead and arrange for us to organize the troops behind to make adjustments." Amid the fierce gunfire, Zhang Zuolin and his guards went to the front. In fact, he had already spotted a headquarters yesterday. Even the emperor said that this place is good. Today, he will go there to establish the headquarters first, and then Wang Shizhen and his command team can move in directly. Zhang Zuolin quickly arrived at the front. After looking at the terrain, he decided to move the command post forward. Due to the shrinkage of the Russian army, the place where he originally looked was already too far away. He continued to move the command post forward until he could see the Russian army. where it stopped. Soon they established a new headquarters and started work. Wang Shizhen and others came up soon after. Zhang Zuolin raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the battlefield in the distance, carefully watching the artillery fire of the border guards pouring towards the Russian positions. The aircraft in the air were directing the artillery fire on the ground. They were there to bombard the artillery fire on the ground. It can be said that where to fire is very well coordinated with the entire Russian army. The place is full of smoke and dust, blocking the sun in the sky, and it is impossible to see the situation on the ground clearly. The troops responsible for the siege were also firing at the Russian troops. Some Russian soldiers fell down. Those Russian soldiers also knew that if they did not resist, they would be dead. They were also resisting desperately. Fighting back at the Chinese Imperial Border Guards with a barrage of bullets. In a narrow cave, the commander of the Russian right-wing army group, General Kolbas, regarded this place as his frontline headquarters. Facing the fierce attack by the border guards, he could no longer stand it. He had already sent several messages to the central group. He has sent a letter requesting for support several times, but there has been no reply so far. He also knows that in this case, the commander-in-chief, General Kuropatkin, may not have received his rescue letter, but they have not heard the huge shouts from here. The sound of shells exploding? He cursed General Kuropatkin in his heart and counted the female relatives in his family one by one. At the same time, he also cursed the soldiers who failed to deliver the rescue letter to Kuropatkin. Seeing that there was no hope for reinforcements, General Kaulbas made the final decision to break out and go back, but he did not forget to send troops again to send a report to the Central Group. He first sent the Fourth Infantry Division commanded by General Fogg and told him that he would fight a bloody road for the whole army no matter what so that his troops could return to Khabarovsk. General Fogg agreed and went to prepare the troops. It was obvious. If you can't rush out, you and all your troops will be defeated by the Chinese Empire. Maybe you will become a prisoner of war of the Chinese Empire. In that case, the honor of the Russian military will be over. Therefore, the only way to change your destiny here is to fight to the death. . The Russian Fourth Division quickly assembled. This was one of their standing divisions. They appeared as the main force in the Russian army. Now they braved the intensive artillery fire from a distance and headed north to enter the battlefield in contact with the opponent. The troops have been reduced by 10%. This is also because he is a good leader and never relaxes in the training of the troops. His troops are very capable. The soldiers handle the situation on the battlefield very well. At least they know that they will encounter violent attacks. They will take strong measures to defend during the artillery bombardment, otherwise the losses of his troops' march through this distance will be even greater. General Fokker arrived at the bottom of the pocket prepared for them by the Chinese Imperial Border Guards. He immediately started preparations and looked at the situation on the battlefield to let the soldiers rest a little.I asked the Russian troops here and asked them to notify the artillery to start covering. The numerous artillery pieces of the Russian army began to fire, but soon the artillery on the border guard's side also began to suppress them. They were beating people while being beaten. Soon the Russian artillery fire stopped shooting. General Fokker did not wait. When the artillery fire stopped completely, he ordered the troops to attack. A regiment of troops began to charge. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers fought together towards the frontier position of the border guards. At this time, the unit responsible for guarding the north was Lin Qiang, commander of Yang Yutian's Sixth Division of the Second Army. His former soldier Ding Dali was now the main battalion commander. Now he was guarding the front line. Seeing the swarming crowd of Russian troops, he said to the soldiers below: "Brothers, the old man opposite is going to fight us desperately. Let's cheer up and teach him a lesson." After the Russian army entered five hundred meters, Ding Dali and his special shooters started free hunting and shooting. When the gunfire rang out, the officers and soldiers in front of the Russian army fell down one by one, but the troops behind them still fell. As they continue to rush forward, they must fight their way out here. If they don't fight out, they will die. After entering 200 meters, all the firepower of Ding Dali Battalion's first line of defense began to fire. At the same time, the fire support machine guns and mortars behind them also began to fire. Artillery shells hit the Russian offensive team. From time to time, some of them fell down. Next, but the Russian soldiers were also shooting at the defending troops while the process was going on. Although the threat was not great, some soldiers were injured and sacrificed successively. The health workers were running around the position quickly. They had to treat the wounded in time. rescue. Rescue must be carried out in time, otherwise the sub-zero temperature will soon kill the injured soldier. When the hygienist Xiao Lizi saw a soldier being injured, he ran over immediately. He checked the soldier carefully and said, "Brother, your Your arm is injured, please let me bandage it before you lose too much blood and get into trouble." "No, please hurry up and take care of other people. I don't mind leaving. Don't get in my way." "No, just the company commander and battalion commander. I won't leave you alone here." Xiao Lizi quickly bandaged the wounded and quickly finished. The soldier smiled at him: "Thank you." But Xiao Lizi didn't have time to speak at all. He turned to another soldier. Ran over. In the distance, the Russian army began to shout: "Ula!" and accelerated the charge. The soldiers grabbed the grenades at hand and threw them at the enemy. Immediately, the position was filled with smoke and dust. In the smoke, several Russian soldiers were already carrying their grenades. Long rifles rushed into position. Ding Dali looked at the twenty ring in his hand and immediately opened fire. Two Russian soldiers fell down, but more Russian soldiers rushed out from the smoke. When the border guards saw that the enemy had come up, they also jumped out. A Russian soldier stepped out of the trench and rushed toward the enemy. He aimed a shot at the border guard soldier. The soldier dodged the opponent's bayonet. The engineer's shovel in his hand chopped off the tall Russian soldier's head. He let the shovel pass, but his head did, but his body did not. He was hit on the shoulder. The Russian soldier shouted, and he brought the bayonet back and was about to stab him, but a bullet hit him in the chest. This was when the battalion commander Ding Dali fired a shot. The Russian soldier still wanted to hold on, but the soldier He was not allowed to move the shovel in his hand, and another shovel smashed his head into pieces. More and more Russian soldiers rushed up. The two sides soon entered a hand-to-hand fighting position. The troops on both sides of the position fired desperately to suppress the Russian troops behind them and prevent them from coming up. The fire support from behind was useless. They were afraid of hitting their own people. The soldiers responsible for fire support rushed forward together. They didn't have rifles around them, but only pistols and shovels. Soon their pistols came into use one by one. The Russian soldiers were knocked to the ground. Xiao Lizi, the health worker, also fired his pistol. The Russian soldiers who quickly rushed to the position were all wiped out. The enemy behind them began to retreat. The enemy's first crazy attack was repelled. When Ding Dali saw that the enemy had been repelled, he asked the soldiers to repair the trenches quickly. At the same time, he sent people to help the health workers to transfer the injured soldiers and the sacrificed soldiers were also transported. They did not expect that the Russian army would do this to them. Come on, they are really desperate. If they can't rush out, there will be no good end for them. Text Chapter 594 Hand-to-hand combat (2) Chapter 594 Hand-to-hand combat (2) Chapter 594 Hand-to-hand combat (2) Division commander Lin Qiang had already seen the thrilling scene just now. If the officers and soldiers on the position had not fought desperately for it, the position would have been lost. The support troops he sent have already set off. This is a place where the Russian army will fight to the death. It seems that there will be a fierce battle here. Wang Shizhen, the chief of general staff of the general headquarters, has called to ask about the situation here. He asked Lin Qiang to tell The soldiers must hold on. Whether they can annihilate all the Russian troops here depends entirely on them. Lin Qiang knew the importance of this place. He strengthened the artillery support and at the same time replenished the troops and their urgently needed ammunition here. He must ensure that the defense line here is not broken by the enemy. Lin Qiang said to Ding Dali: "You have to tell our soldiers that you Behind you is the land of our empire. You must defend this place and ensure that the large forces annihilate all the enemies." Ding Dali was not good at words. He just said to Lin Qiang: "Commander, as long as there is one person in the position, we will not let the Russians. The army passed." General Fokker also saw the scene on the opposite side of the Russian army. He just missed it and captured it. As long as the large troops behind it can be captured, they can retreat from there. Just one regiment came up now. That regiment has been crippled, but it is the most capable regiment under his command. Without them, the battle behind them would be even more difficult. General Fokker changed his original tactics for the next attack. He let a new regiment serve as the main force to attack forcefully. At the same time, he sent the second echelon behind. When the front rushed into the enemy's position and started a hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, the troops behind were again Rush up to reinforce them so that the position can be occupied, but this will require a large number of Russian soldier corpses to fill this passage. If more soldiers do not die, this plan cannot be completed. General Fokker asked the logistics staff to replenish potatoes for them. This was one of the best ways to boost morale. Only by letting them eat enough would they have the strength to charge. It seemed that General Fokker was determined to seize this breakthrough. Soon the Russian army's artillery preparations began again, but their artillery shells were too few and coupled with the firepower of the Imperial Border Guards to suppress them, they simply could not play their due role. Soon the Russian army entered a distance of 500 meters again. They changed a lot in this attack. The distance between them also increased. They also adopted the method that the Chinese Empire had long used. They no longer used the method of direct group charge, but formed a skirmish line to use the terrain. They rush forward separately under the cover of objects until they are close to the opponent's position, and then make the final charge. Ding Dali felt very uncomfortable when he saw that the enemy's tactics had changed and some parts were still the same as when he was training. "How could his old fool have learned our methods? This way the artillery's impact will be much smaller." So Ding Dali immediately ordered his soldiers to change their methods: "Everyone, pay attention to aiming the rifle before shooting, specifically to shoot down the enemies who are lying down, and let go of those who are moving. We have to shoot one machine gun at a time, and pay attention to save bullets." After Ding Dali ordered many Russian soldiers, they could no longer get up. The artillery was not helpless against them. When the mortars saw that the enemy had changed their tactics, they also began to look for their own targets. The officers who specialized in attacking the Russian army would be attacked as long as these people were missing. A big impact. The Russian army finally completed its preparations for the charge. They were already close to the front line of the position. Their casualties were also increasing. After all, they were not used to this unfamiliar attack method. Soon they started the original charge method again. Everyone stood up and started. Running forward and charging. As soon as Ding Dali saw the enemy stand up and start charging, he immediately yelled: "Hit him hard." It was not easy for the soldiers to hit fixed lying targets just now. Now when they saw the enemy stand up, they became happy. As soon as one's own record is increased, standing targets are much easier to hit than lying down targets. Those machine gun shooters soon stopped firing short bursts and started firing long bursts, and then they fired the entire magazine at once. The artillerymen also increased their firing density, and the mortars also accelerated their firing, reaching a firing rate of seven or eight rounds per minute. Even though the Russian army invested more manpower this time, they were repulsed before they could reach the position. This has a lot to do with the combat effectiveness of this infantry regiment. Fokker did not use the methods of other officers to deal with the returning soldiers, that is, he did not use machine guns to deal with his own soldiers, but he shot the leading officer to death. He asked the soldiers to take a rest and reorganize the attack. This time he said to the soldiers: "Now we have only a dead end if we retreat. You must rush to the enemy's position. This time I will stand behind you. If you can't rush up, then don't." Come back?. This time, the officers will be at the forefront and fight for the honor of the Russian emperor. "General Fokker put the most thought into organizing the troops, but he forgot that the morale of his troops no longer existed. No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do. As a result, the charge this time was still in vain. Wang Shizhen looked at himself The watch time has pointed to the afternoon The enemies in the entire encirclement have no will to fight anymore. Zhang Zuolin and Wang Shizhen discussed and decided to launch a final general attack on the enemy. The troops behind them were already so anxious that they attacked many times. The headquarters was eager to fight the Russian army. Especially when the armored division of Commander Ping Zhicai saw that the infantry brothers were fighting very hard at the front, they kept urging the headquarters to let them go earlier. Go up. An imperial armored force is parked northwest of the battlefield of the Russian right wing group. This is the first armored force of the empire. Now they are the size of a division, with eighteen "female" tanks on each side of the tank. There is a machine gun. This kind of tank is smaller. There are five people on it, one driver, two shooters and two assistant shooters. The assistant shooter is also the ammunition feeder. The front armor of the tank is only 15 mm. The side armor is only 10 mm. The total weight of the tank is four. Eight tons. The gasoline engine has a power of 90 horses and a maximum speed of 25 kilometers. It can run 60 kilometers with one refueling. But behind them are forty-eight modern-looking tanks. On the front is a 37-millimeter gun. There is a machine gun on the top of the turret. Since it is an improvement on the original model, its speed is also slower, only 20 kilometers per hour and can run a full range of 50 kilometers. Text Chapter 595 Armored troops attack Chapter 595: Armored Troopers Attack Chapter 595: Armored Troops Attack Chapter 595: Armored Troops Attack In addition, their equipment is an armored personnel carrier. Their surroundings are ten millimeters of armor. In addition, some shooting holes are designed around the body. There are a squad of soldiers on the vehicle, but their weapons are A very experienced squad has a machine gun, a shooter, a sub-shooter, and a ammunition feeder. The ammunition handler also has a pistol. A 60mm mortar consists of two shooters and an ammunition handler to form a gun crew. Soldiers are all rifles. The most anxious person in the entire armored division right now is the division commander Ping Yucai. This is a newest unit. They haven't fought a real battle since its establishment. Ping Yucai really wants his troops to go out and try this. What is the combat effectiveness of this unit? But there has been no order. He is also in a hurry and has no other way. The fuel has already been prepared and ammunition has been replenished. The drivers have checked the vehicles several times to ensure that there will be no problems when setting off. . Suddenly the phone on the table rang. A communications staff officer immediately grabbed the receiver of the phone: "Hey, this is the armored division." "The division commander and chief of general staff ordered the attack as planned." Ping Yucai was overjoyed when he heard this and rushed forward. When he got outside, he shouted to the anxious officers and soldiers: "Let's go". Then he jumped into the front tank and immediately heard all the motors starting to roar. Each formation started to move from their hiding places. He rushed out and fought towards the battlefield. Soon they came to the outside of the battlefield. When the soldiers of the infantry troops saw the armored troops coming, they hurriedly cleared the road for them to pass. They knew that they were about to move out too. The armored division quickly divided into three arrows and rushed forward. Among them were the eighteen male tanks with high muzzles. Behind them were the eighteen female tanks with only machine guns. Behind them were the armored vehicles responsible for protection. At this time, Yucai no longer had the image of a division commander. He actually became a machine gunner. He was raining bullets on the Russian soldiers. The tanks behind him hurriedly rushed forward to protect this tank. The formation of the charge suddenly became chaotic. A string of bullets hit the tank's body. Ping Yucai immediately retracted his head and the gunner who was observing said at the same time: "Commander, that is an enemy heavy machine gun. Look at me." The turret of the tank turned and pointed at the heavy machine gun that was shooting. Ping Yucai Said on the side: "Aim and kill them with one shot." "Don't worry, division commander." The gunner replied to the division commander's words. His men did not stop and quickly locked the target on the crosshairs of the scope. The body vibrated and fired. A cloud of smoke rose from the Russian heavy machine gun on the opposite side. "Have a good shot and keep moving forward." The Russian soldiers saw this kind of steel giant for the first time in their lives. It was roaring towards them. Two machine guns were blazing. The Russian soldiers were not afraid to see their own. The bullets hitting its body had no effect at all, and the heavy machine gun on his side was killed by him with one shot. There is no way to fight this battle. If others hit you, they can hit him however they want. But you have to hit him. Unfortunately, they were unscathed. The Russian soldiers immediately ran to the back, and some soldiers on the armored vehicles behind who were fighting desperately used their machine guns, rifles and mortars on the vehicles to attack the enemy. If there were some blind spots, they They will get out of the vehicle and attack them directly. Their task is to cover the attack of the tanks and prevent them from being attacked by the infantry on the ground. This created a one-sided situation that suppressed the Russian army, and the pressure on the northern battlefield was immediately relieved. At this time, Li Zhenhua, the Free Emperor, took a look at the subordinates of the Russian right-wing army group who were surrounded and wiped out. Then he went to the central area to look at the blocking battlefield. Now he wanted to take a look at the offensive situation of the armored vehicle units, so they began to return to the west. . His group of guard soldiers also asked him to disperse to various places to participate in the battle. Now there are only seven or eight people around him. It is not a long way to cross the mountain in front and reach the battlefield in the west. He did not let the troops escort him. . His guards did not dare to relax at all. There were two people in front, Wei Yulin and Zhang Chuan. Their task was to take the lead and detect the situation in time and deal with it in time. In the middle were Sun Feihu, Yang Shun and Song Yulin. The one who is good at Qinggong is the leader's shield. If there is any situation, they will immediately protect the leader tightly. Behind them are Li Xiaohu, Wu Gang and Qiao Yuliang. There is also one person among them, the Jewish Miss Susan, the new "secretary" of the chief. As we have said before, the fighting power of these people is very strong. Even they are not afraid of the last one, but because they are protecting the chief and this is They were particularly careful on the battlefield. Wei Yulin walked in front. He always felt a little uncomfortable today.In fact, he seemed a little nervous because of this. Others looked a little nervous when they saw him, but Li Zhenhua didn't care. He said to the guards: "Don't be afraid. The Russian army is in chaos now. They don't dare to spread out and cause trouble for us." Don't you be so nervous?" At this time, Susan had no sense of danger at all. She was just admiring the beautiful scenery in the northeastern part of the Chinese Empire and asked Li Zhenhua some questions from time to time. Li Zhenhua patiently explained to her. While explaining, he also shared some historical knowledge. The group of people walked forward like this. Since they were all riding horses, they were very fast, but some places were not easy to walk. Sometimes there might be some icy places, so they had to be more careful. Soon they arrived at the mountain. At this time, people were finally relieved of the fighting on the battlefield ahead. The massing and annihilation of the Russian army had already begun. All the troops were launching an attack on the Russian army. Here, there were about four or four kilometers from the front. It seemed very quiet here after five kilometers, and Susan calmed down and stopped asking any questions. People all know that "it's easy to go up the mountain, but it's difficult to go down the mountain". People are about to go down the mountain. People's emotions have changed from being nervous about Li Zhenhua's safety to starting to pay attention to the way down the mountain. Li Zhenhua and the soldiers dismounted and led their horses downstairs, reminding each other to pay attention to the road and rocks under their feet. "Chirp" The sudden sound of gunshots startled everyone. They were all soldiers, and they all squatted down immediately. Although Susan was not a soldier, she was also someone who had been on the battlefield and spent a lot of time with these people. Naturally, it reflected that the sound of the gunshot was a kind of water sound. Is it the Mosin made in Russia that people later said? The sound made by the Nagant rifle was later called "Shuilianzhu" by some people based on its sound characteristics. Since Susan didn't have a helmet when she came, Li Zhenhua gave her his own helmet. Susan thought the helmet was very good, and since it was given to her by Li Zhenhua, she was reluctant to return it to Li Zhenhua. And the Russian army in the distance Seeing that only Li Zhenhua was not wearing a helmet, he deduced that he was an officer, so he shot at his horse. They might be trying to capture an officer. Fortunately, I didn't hit anyone, otherwise it would have been difficult to talk about it. Several guards were anxious. Although they were hitting horses, they were also frightened. According to the source of the gunfire, they immediately saw a group of Russian soldiers coming towards here in the distance. They didn't shoot again because they probably wanted to capture him alive. Seeing that the other side had made preparations, the Russian soldiers rushed towards here together. They were still calling Susan and said to Li Zhenhua: "The target they want to capture alive is you." As she said this, she put on her helmet He took it off and put it on Li Zhenhua's head. Li Zhenhua gave it to her and said to her: "No, just wear it. It can protect you." Susan insisted, but Sun Feihu had already put his helmet on Li Zhenhua's head. On. At the same time, a pistol was also handed to Li Zhenhua's hand. Susan had a gun in her hand. It was a pistol originally given by Li Zhenhua, but it was an 1899 type, which meant that the shooting distance of eight bullets was closer, but it could also be used for self-defense in this situation. Seeing that the enemy was far more numerous than their own, the guards immediately separated. They began to outflank the enemy. The guns in their hands were all firing rapidly. Of course, their marksmanship was definitely good. Yang Shun and Song were surprisingly surprised. Yulin quickly found his bunker and started shooting at the enemy. At the same time, he said to Sun Feihu: "Captain, please let the leader go down here. It's dangerous." There were more than a hundred Russian troops. Their gunfire was so dense that their horses had been shot. The Russian army could no longer ride. They quickly separated more than 20 people to deal with Wei Yulin and Zhang Chuan in the front. They also separated some people to deal with Li Xiaohu, Wu Gang and Qiao Yuliang in the back. However, the rest rushed into the middle. Li Zhenhua and several others. When Sun Feihu saw it, he hurriedly said to Li Zhenhua: "Commander, you can't do it. You have to withdraw and let me, Song Yulin, and Yang Shun hold them back. You have to withdraw quickly. It's too dangerous here." Li Zhenhua was not afraid that he would see such a scene. But the more important thing is that people are worried about their own safety. If they are not here, they can't let go. If they are not here, they will attack casually. Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua immediately said to Sun Feihu: "I will cover Susan and go down. If you can't stand it for a while, you will disperse and retreat. I think we will have troops coming up soon." Sun Feihu didn't bother to answer, and the gun in his hand began to fire rapidly. When he got up, Li Zhenhua raised his hand and fired two shots, pulling Susan down and evacuating while shooting at the Russian army. Text Chapter 596 The Emperor is in danger Chapter 596 The Emperor is in Distress Chapter 596 The Emperor is in Distress Seeing someone retreating early, the Russian army knew that it must be the other party's officers, so they still sent some people to deal with them, but the guns of the guards were specially used to deal with them and cover Li Zhenhua. Retreating, Li Zhenhua shot behind while running. Suddenly he heard Susan snort. He knew that Susan must be injured. He stopped in a hurry and saw that the blood on Susan's chest was already flowing out. He did not hesitate to reach out and pull Su Shan continued to retreat downwards. Susan knew very well at this time that he knew that Li Zhenhua couldn't run fast with a person on his back like this, so she said to Li Zhenhua with difficulty: "Put me down if this doesn't work, they will catch up soon." "Don't be stupid, how can I? Why don't you leave and go by yourself? Our people will arrive soon. " "Your Majesty, let me go. Even if I get hit here, the Lord won't be able to save me." Susan said more and more weakly. Li Zhenhua knew that he had to stop her bleeding first or it would be over. Li Zhenhua hurriedly looked around in front of him. He saw a cliff where he could avoid the bullets. He reached the cliff in a few steps. It happened to be a blind spot for Li Zhenhua to shoot. At first glance, it happened to be a cave that was not deep. It looked like a foothold prepared by the hunters. It could usually block the wind and rain. There was also a pile of ashes left by them inside. Li Zhenhua saw that it was here and gently put her down. At this time, Susan had begun to faint. She said in her mouth: "Water, water." Li Zhenhua did not give her water. He knew that people bleed profusely after being injured on the battlefield. They feel thirsty, but they cannot be given water at this time. The water will quickly dilute the blood and cause it to flow out more, and the person will be finished. The wound was on her chest. Li Zhenhua tore open her clothes with force. A pair of little white rabbits jumped out, but one was already red. Li Zhenhua couldn't think of anything else on his hands and there was nothing to stop the bleeding. Li Zhenhua saw the ashes on the ground. He immediately tore open his cotton-padded clothes, took out a bit of cotton, found a wooden stick, wrapped it in it, and rubbed it vigorously on a stone. Suddenly he stopped again, took the pistol over, took out a bullet, and twisted the bullet out with all his strength. I poured the gunpowder in the bullet onto the stone and rubbed it, and it quickly caught fire. Li Zhenhua blew a few more times and the fire became more intense. He pressed the wooden stick hard against Susan's chest. The pair of little rabbits stirred violently. Li Zhenhua stopped the wooden stick at Susan's wound for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he took the stick away and saw that the bleeding had stopped, and then he felt relieved. He knew that Susan had a first-aid kit in her bag and he didn¡¯t carry these things. But when this girl saw Teijin¡¯s things, she thought it was new and even collected a first-aid kit. He took it out, quickly bandaged Susan's wound and arranged her clothes. Only then did he feel that he was extremely tired. He was just about to fall down and take a rest, but the sound coming from outside the cave made him immediately alert again. Holding the gun in his hand, he came to the entrance of the cave. When someone was talking, he knew it was a Russian accent. Li Zhenhua knew that they would soon see the cave. He saw it at a glance, and they would also see it immediately. The blood stains on the ground would also attract the Russian army. He picked up the pistol. Although there was the sound of his own short gun and the sound of his own rifle in the distance, the Russian troops were still searching here. Sure enough, I heard a Russian soldier shouting and the sound of pulling a gun bolt. They were loading bullets and the target was about to start taking action. Li Zhenhua laughed. I still have a dozen bullets in this gun, which can kill a dozen enemies. A Russian soldier shouted in the distance but he couldn't understand it, probably because he wanted to surrender. A Russian soldier couldn't help but walked over here. Li Zhenhua raised his hand and shot him. The other Russian soldiers stopped again. They lay down on the ground and crawled towards here. It was a bit difficult to fight, but Li Zhenhua was not The anxious Russian soldiers fired bullets, causing the rocks in the cave to fall. Li Zhenhua fired again and another Russian soldier stopped. There was another burst of Russian voices, and soon several Russian soldiers began to rush forward. Li Zhenhua immediately fired several shots in succession. Three Russian soldiers fell down, but the other two were very close to the cave. More than twenty meters. The Russian officers behind were urging their soldiers to rush up again, and several more soldiers came up. Li Zhenhua first knocked down the nearest enemy. At this time, he was also shot in the head, and the bullet hit the helmet and made a "dang" sound. At this time, Li Zhenhua saw a Russian soldier being knocked down from behind. He knew that his people were also supporting him from behind. Each of the guards has hundreds of rounds of bullets, and their bullet consumption will not be too large. Judging from what they saw at the time, the Russian army only had more than a hundred people, but the power disparity was too great. Now they have followed here. That is, some of them may have been sacrificed or injured, otherwise the Russian army would not have come here. Li Zhenhua said to himself."Don't be anxious and panic. They will come up soon. The surrounding troops will not be unheard. They will arrive soon. You must hold on. As long as you continue to fight them outside, it will stabilize. That unlucky situation will definitely It will be them." Another Russian soldier raised his head and Li Zhenhua killed him with a shot. More bullets came in from the outside, but bullets from a distance were also shooting behind them. Li Zhenhua was now like a magnet, attracting them. Here, but outside, our own people are beating them from behind. The two Russian soldiers outside jumped up and rushed into the cave again. Li Zhenhua raised his hand and fired. There was a blank sound. The bullets were gone and the gun stopped behind. They could not go back. The two Russian soldiers shouted and rushed inside. Li Zhenhua fired. The gun in his hand was raised and hit a man on the head. The man fell immediately, but the other Russian soldier did not fire. He stabbed Li Zhenhua with his bayonet. Li Zhenhua hurriedly dodged to the side. With this shot, the soldier rushed past his position. Li Zhenhua's pistol hit his back again. The boy screamed, but he couldn't move. Just now, he was probably shouting that the other party had no more bullets. Soon, two more soldiers rushed in. They were also using bayonets to deal with Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to dodge again. He guarded his door with both hands and kicked a soldier in the head with one leg. The soldier held his head with both hands and shouted. The soldier next to him hugged Li Zhenhua's lower back. He immediately shouted excitedly. . Text Chapter 597 A narrow victory Chapter 597 Narrow Victory Chapter 597 Narrow Victory Li Zhenhua was really anxious at this time. He stomped down hard with his feet, directly stomping on the feet of the Russian soldier. Li Zhenhua wore a pair of combat boots made by the Chinese Empire itself. The soles of the boots were very strong. The Russian soldier immediately screamed in pain, but he still didn't let go. Li Zhenhua's head was knocked back hard this time. He really couldn't stand it anymore. The helmet gave him a slap on his face. He hurriedly let go of his hand. Li Zhenhua hurriedly turned around, raised his leg and kicked his foot into his crotch. Then when he bent over, he kicked him in the head and completely handed him over. At this time, another rush outside the cave A Russian soldier came up and hugged Li Zhenhua's waist again. Li Zhenhua had no choice but to throw him to the side. But although the boy turned around, he did not let go. Li Zhenhua felt as if all the strength in his body had been used up and he could no longer use it. When he exerted a little strength, he heard a gunshot from behind. Li Zhenhua felt the hands behind him slowly loosen. Li Zhenhua broke away from the arms holding himself and looked behind. The gun in Susan's hand was still smoking. Li Zhenhua Walking inside, he took the gun from Susan's hand and sat on the ground, panting rapidly. He was going to face the final battle with the woman who saved him. Susan's eyes looked at Li Zhenhua's face with a smile on his face. With a smile, she raised her hand with difficulty and touched Li Zhenhua's face: "Your Majesty, it was only me who dragged you down and let you enter a dangerous place like this. I am sorry for you." "It's all nonsense. Our army It¡¯s not a matter of abandoning one¡¯s own people. Besides, we are friends and we have to help each other. Stop talking. It¡¯s not good for you.¡± The gunshots outside are still ringing, but they are much sparser. I guess the battle is coming to an end. No more can be heard outside. The shouts of the Russian soldiers stopped. Li Zhenhua walked quietly towards the entrance of the cave. He saw a Russian soldier dozens of meters in front of him, shooting in the distance. He hurriedly aimed at his back and shot him. As soon as he stepped on his legs, he also put down the rifle in his hand. With this gunshot, the entire battle was over. The surrounding soldiers concealed their bodies and searched here. They also had to search carefully to avoid unnecessary casualties from the enemy. Soon they arrived in front of Li Zhenhua. Sun Feihu's left arm was hanging on his chest. When he saw Li Zhenhua, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Zhenhua: "Chief, how are you? Are you injured?" Li Zhenhua said to him: "I'm fine, just Susan. I was shot in the chest and need to be rushed to a field hospital. How are your injuries? " "I'm fine. I just had a hole in my arm. I guess it's fine. Xiao Wei, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qiao sacrificed the four of them and they're fine." But I¡¯ll check it when I get home." There were only four guards in front of him. Yang Shun, Li Xiaohu, Zhang Chuan and Song Yulin stood in front of him. Their faces and bodies were covered with blood. It was hard to tell whether it belonged to them or the enemy. Several other guards fought until the last drop of blood was shed. There were two officers standing in front of them. They were two patrol teams of border guards. They heard the gunshots here and rushed here quickly. With their help, they finally wiped out all the Russian troops and captured an enemy major officer. Sun Feihu said to the two officers: "Please make a few stretchers immediately to carry the sacrificed and injured comrades. We will go back directly to "Go to your general headquarters." The two officers knew as soon as they heard that they were high-ranking cadres, and they didn't waste any words. They immediately carried out the order and quickly made several stretchers to carry the bodies of Susan, Wei Yulin, Wuhan Steel and Qiao Yuliang. They walked together towards the frontline headquarters. Miraculously, Yang Shun and Li Xiaohu were not injured at all. After taking a rest, they were fine. The others were all injured. Sun Feihu was not a matter of having an eye shot. If it hadn't been for the doctor after two After more than an hour of rescuing, his arm could no longer be saved. There was a hole in Li Zhenhua's neck, which was a little off, otherwise it would have been difficult to tell. After the doctor gave him an anesthetic, he slept until the next morning. After getting up, all that was left was to recover from the bullet in Susan's chest. After taking it out, the medical staff injected her with yellow amine medicine, and her life was no longer in danger. After interrogating the Russian major, they found out that the Russian right-wing army group was The commander, General Kaulbas, finally sent a force to the central group to deliver the message. It was a battalion of troops. They failed to break through the blocking force's defense line. As a result, they were unwilling to go back and could not go north. They had to escape and run to the south. On the way, they discovered Li Zhenhua and his party. Seeing that their weapons were very good, they speculated that they might be senior officers from the Chinese Empire. There were only about ten people on the opposite side, but there were more than a hundred people on their side, so they made up their mind to catch this officer and use him as a weapon. The hostages then ran back to Russia. Unexpectedly, the more than 100 of them could not even defeat these ten people. Instead, they were beaten by these people and they were almost unable to fight back. However, two more patrol teams from the other side soon joined in.We had no hope of victory, but they still desperately wanted to catch the officer. Only in this way could they have a chance of survival. So until the end, they rushed into the cave in an attempt to catch the opponent's officer until they reached the end. Hearing Li Zhenhua After hearing the news about the injury, Wang Shizhen rushed to the hospital and saw that Li Zhenhua had already fallen asleep. After asking the doctor about his situation in detail, Wang Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, nothing serious happened. It was just an injury on his arm. It was not a big problem. If he really had something to do with himself, How to explain it to the Government Affairs Council and the whole country? He immediately asked people to place Li Zhenhua and others alone and asked the hospital to send the best medical workers to take care of Li Zhenhua's injury. He also sent a regiment of troops for strict protection. Then he asked Zhang Zuolin He was fully responsible for the war at the front and was guarding it here. Li Zhenhua didn¡¯t know how much trouble he had caused to the front. It wasn¡¯t until he woke up and saw Wang Shizhen beside him that he realized that this matter was serious. Li Zhenhua hurriedly told Wang Shizhen Said: "Commander Wang, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that there were still Russian troops fleeing that would cause danger to me. I will make sure not to cause trouble to everyone anymore." Wang Shizhen didn't listen to his explanation at all and said to Li Zhenhua: "Your Majesty You are a king and a minister. This minister will not speak of the king's fault." Wang Shizhen put her hat on the table and continued: "Your Majesty, if nothing serious happens to you how can I explain this to everyone?" Wang Shizhen Tears are already falling as I speak. The most complete novel I have read is boiling.
