    After Yang Qiu brought two counterfeit Madsen M50s back to the camp, they immediately detonated the entire camp. After hearing about it, even Yue Peng and Zhang Wenjing dropped what they were doing and rushed over. Lei Meng and Su who were assigned by the old man  Xiaohu stood proudly next to the machine gun. The more soldiers gathered around him, the prouder the two of them became, as if it was their credit to get the machine gun.

    Unlike other senior officers, Yang Qiu kept his official uniform neatly every day and wore a saber for fear that others would not know that he was an officer. Instead, he liked to wear ordinary military uniforms. During this time, he ate and lived with the soldiers.  Leading by example, we practiced together, rain or shine, so the storm of the forced training that day gradually passed, and the soldiers began to slowly accept his somewhat unusual standard.

    In addition, Yue Peng and Zhang Wenjing took the opportunity of acting as temporary battalion commanders to promote a large number of young and capable junior officers, so the atmosphere in the army became much better, and the soldiers became bolder and asked: "Sir, what is this?"  What machine gun?¡±

    "The light machine gun is called the Madsen light machine gun in Europe. It was copied by Master Su Hongsheng a few years ago. I moved it back first and let everyone learn from it." Yang Qiu patted the machine gun and said with a smile.  : "Who knows how to use it?"

    "Sir, I learned this when I was in Germany." Yue Peng stood up, walked to the machine gun and fiddled with it a few times, then frowned and said, "Sir, is this bad?"

    "It's good enough, but I don't know when it will be delivered." Yang Qiu muttered in his heart, then glared and said, "Since you have used it, it's up to you to teach everyone how to use it."

    "Sir? Are we going to have machine guns?" Zhang Wenjing's eyes lit up, but before he could have a sweet dream, Yang Qiu immediately struck: "Let's wait until Beiyang doesn't want it anymore."

    "Mom, it's Beiyang again, I can't stand those guys."

    "Yes, they think of them first in everything. The guns are all made in Germany, as are the cannons. They give us the ones that have been eliminated. It's really annoying."

    "Okay, it will be our turn to equip one day. I heard that this gun is good. Master Su happened to have it, so he brought it back for everyone to practice first. Even if it is broken, we can still practice it, and let everyone learn more.  "Hearing the mutterings of the soldiers, Yang Qiu smiled. It seemed that his subtle targeting of Beiyang was effective. He said to Yue Peng: "I can only borrow this gun for half a month, so you can pick more people.  practise."

    "You still need to train even if you are bad? Sir, do you think this is using your power to suppress others?" Yue Peng's face turned dark. It takes at least three months to train a machine gunner in Germany. If he is proficient, he will need to be fed thousands of rounds of ammunition.  I only gave him half a month, and it was a broken gun!  There is no chance of live ammunition!  Isn't this deliberately teasing myself?

    "Not satisfied? Okay, just play a one-on-one match with me, and if you win, just pretend I didn't say anything."

    Will I challenge you to be the second Lei Meng?  Isn¡¯t this making me feel uncomfortable?  Yue Peng quickly waved his hand, pointed at Lei Meng who was watching the joke, and said, "Don't worry, please let me go. If you have itchy hands, you should go find Lei Meng."

    "Me?! Oops, I'm upset" How dare Lei Meng challenge Yang Qiu in a one-on-one duel? During this time, he had suffered enough from the pain of defeating the enemy with one move, not being strangled.  He was knocked unconscious for no apparent reason and quickly ran away.

    "Haha" Lei Meng, who was usually fearless, was scared away. The soldiers all laughed. Even Qiu Wenbin and the others who had been paying attention to Yang Qiu had to admit that he  He is very friendly towards soldiers.  This made them even more worried, because there were already few comrades here, and now there was such a nemesis, and the prospect of cooperating in the incident suddenly became bleak.

    After handing over the training of machine gunners to Yue Peng, Zhang Wenjing quickly pulled Yang Qiu aside: "Sir, the people from Hunan have been waiting for you for a long time."

    "People from Hunan? Who are they? Why are you waiting for me?"

    Zhang Wenjing quickly explained: "This is Mr. Tan Yankai from the Hunan Council. He was ordered to come to the gun factory to pick up the guns and take them back to Hunan. This is not a strict inspection and prevention recently. You need to check before setting off."

    Granny Tan?  Yang Qiu remembered what happened at the dinner that day and said quickly: "Where is he?"

    "It's being loaded at the dock."

    ??¡ª¡ª

    ??¡ª¡ª

    The Hanyang Arsenal is located in Dabie Mountain (to the north of today's Guishan Mountain), close to Yuehu Lake and Hanshui River, and shares the dock with the iron smelting plant.

    On the pier, more than a dozen soldiers from the Hunan Army who came to escort the guns were swaying lazily, which made Tan Yankai frown. The sentence "There is no Hunan Army after Zuo Zongtang" expresses the loneliness of the Hunan Army. In just a few decades, the  The army that fought in the south and north to regain Xinjiang has now disappeared in the long river, leaving only these ruffians with no military discipline in front of them.

    Tan Yankai didn¡¯t want to and couldn¡¯t control it, so he simply looked at the spectacular industrial factory in front of him and secretly envied it in his heart.

      Although Hunan is also close to the river, it is very different from the three towns of Wuchang. In recent years, the situation has been unstable and bandits have begun to increase in the territory, so he is also anxious to transport these guns back to the soldiers for safety  People's hearts.

    Suddenly, a series of neat footsteps came. Tan Yankai and several gun factory stewards turned to look, and saw a group of New Army soldiers walking at the same pace, carrying guns on their backs, trotting all the way, and fell behind the dock.  Without saying hello to them, he immediately unloaded his gun and lined up in two rows. The leader of the shed leader even shouted: "Stand at attention!"

    Everyone stood at attention, startling everyone. Before asking what was going on, Yang Qiu, the new commander of 42 Biao Biao, had already walked over with Zhang Wenjing. After seeing him, Tan Yankai walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Biao Biao."  Lord Tong, we meet again."

    "Haha, there have been a lot of things recently. I kept Mr. Tan waiting for a long time. Didn't you miss the time?" After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a few of the soldiers who were standing at attention immediately boarded the ship for inspection. This made the people from the gun factory  The expressions of the steward and the soldiers of the Hunan Army changed. They did not expect that this notorious "Manchu Tatar lackey" would really treat them as a dish.

    Tan Yankai was fine, but he was a little surprised that Yang Qiu was able to perform the 42nd standard so obediently in just half a month. Looking at these 42nd standard soldiers who were moving quickly and uniformly, he turned to look at the undisciplined Hunan army behind him and sighed in his heart.  .

    "Master Tan, I'm really sorry. The chaos has been causing trouble everywhere recently, so I have to be careful."

    "Haha You're so polite, Biao Tong. If everyone was as conscientious as adults, there wouldn't be such a mess." Tan Yankai smiled slightly and asked Yang Qiu to board the cargo ship together.

    The small cabin was filled with long wooden boxes. After Hu Laosan and his soldiers carefully inspected them, he immediately saluted and said: "Report, Hanyang made a thousand boxes and thirty boxes of bullets. Verified."

    Yang Qiu casually pulled out a Hanyang gun from the box, demonstrated it for a few times and praised: "What a good gun."

    Tan Yankai looked at Hu Laosan and others, and said with a smile: "No matter how good the gun is, it is not as good as your soldiers. These soldiers really make Yankai envious."

    Yang Qiu secretly smiled. He brought Hu Laosan and the others out just to let Tan Yankai see his neat military appearance and military discipline, and to leave an impression on "Grandma Tan". Hunan is a land of plenty and will be of great use in the future, not to mention that he is the most important now.  What they lack is political power, and the constitutionalists can still take advantage of it, so they should establish a relationship and talk to each other first, so that they won't have nothing to talk about when the time comes.

    Seeing that he had succeeded, he didn't say anything more. He immediately took out his seal and pressed it on the official document. He also smiled deliberately and said, "I like to hear what Mr. Tan said. Since we people choose to carry guns, we must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people."  It¡¯s the responsibility of one party¡¯s safety! So no matter how good the gun is, it must be handed over to someone who can use it. Even if the person who can¡¯t use it has good intentions, the result may only be chaos!¡±

    Tan Yankai was just about to reach out to take the official document when his fingers suddenly trembled when he heard this sentence. He raised his head and said, "Biao Tong, what do you mean?"

    "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Tan. Yang Qiu also felt this. I just hope that everyone who uses guns in the world will use them well and guard them tightly to prevent them from becoming a disaster." Yang Qiu became naughty and suddenly leaned into his ear: "Sir  If one day you are promoted to governor of Hunan, don¡¯t forget to treat me to a drink! Haha Farewell."

    Governor of Hunan?

    Looking at Yang Qiu's leaving figure, Tan Yankai's heart suddenly shook, and his eyebrows were squeezed together. Not to mention that the Qing Dynasty did not have the official title of Governor of Hunan. Even if he had the title, he might not be able to get it for the time being, but he  The words clearly indicate something, but what exactly are they implying?
