Valentin. Stroganov looked at the sun above his head depressedly, it was indeed warm here, but it seemed that the warmth was a bit excessive, right?

It's like the sun is going to scare people!

In Valentin. Behind Stroganov, there were more than 200 Slavs, Cossacks, and Poles who had committed crimes, all kinds of crooked melons and cracked dates, who were training in a proper manner, and none of them dared to make trouble.

Because when he first arrived, Valentin's deputy, a drunkard ensign, disobeyed the management and was immediately and mercilessly kicked out.

A few days later, a mouthful of roast beef and vodka Valentin saw his stupid deputy begging all over the street.

This is the world of the Chinese, and it is also the world of the Europeans, but they are Russians, the Russians are not Europeans, they are barbaric heretics who believe in Orthodoxy, and the English, the French, and the Dutch will not play with them.

Valentin believed that in a few days, he would see the name of the stupid second lieutenant on the hanged list.

Because he knows that he is his deputy, begging is just his disguise, and robbery is what he is good at.

But in this land, ruled by His Excellency the Marquis of Zinetin, robbery was a felony, especially for others to rob Chinese and Europeans.

"The Marquis has arrived!" The sound of the guards saluting came from the door, and Valentin hurried over, and saw His Excellency the Marquis, surrounded by a mass of white men, approaching him.

Poles, still free Poles, Valentin smelled those guys at once, because the Siberia in which he served was more than exiled Poles, and even of the more than two hundred people he brought, there were more than a dozen Poles.

Simon also saw Valentin, like Valentin, he recognized at a glance that the guy who looked like a bear on the other side was a Russian, and he also saw a lot of Cossacks, as a patriotic Pole, Simon and Cossacks have not been dealing with each other for a day or two.

For Valentin, in fact, Ye Kai is not very satisfied, his preferred cavalry should be selected from the Yakutsk cavalry regiment, this is the only regular Russian cavalry regiment in Siberia, anyway, he has the edict of Catherine II in his hand, why not make a big one?

But as a result, Ye Futian and James. Brown did not go to Yakutsk, but near the Tumen River, he incorporated two unconventional motley cavalry companies.

But they are not to blame, after all, they don't have a map in their hands, and they don't know how to get to Yakutsk.

And those Koreans of the Li Dynasty don't know what medicine they have taken wrong, according to He Hezai, if they don't leave, the Li Dynasty will send a large army to crusade against them, which is really inexplicable!

"Valentin. Captain Stroganov, the commander of my 1st Cavalry Company and the Acting Commander of the 2nd Company, brave Cossack warriors! ”

"Simon. Kazimierz. Kosciushkko, hussars from Ruthenia, captain of the 3rd Cavalry Company that I just appointed! ”

Ye Kai introduced the two of them with a smile, looking like he couldn't see the smell of gunpowder in the eyes of the two of them at all.

The dozen or so Poles in Valentin's company, who had stopped training, immediately stood on Simon's side as soon as they saw their compatriots, and Valentin's face suddenly darkened.

"I now announce that the 1st Cavalry Battalion has been officially formed, and as for who is my first major battalion commander, I will make a decision after testing the results of the training of the two of them."

Ye Kai nodded with satisfaction, and simply added another fire, that is, you don't agree with each other, so that I can better master this cavalry.

If this cavalry had become a naval monolith, he would not have been able to sleep.

Just as he was about to say something, Chen Wenqi hurriedly walked over, Li Weiqi fled to the Qing Dynasty, and asked the old soldiers to punish the rebellion, and finally came back through Ashan.

At that moment, Ye Kai didn't have much to pay attention to these cavalry, he said a few words of encouragement, and hurriedly walked to the headquarters of the Fuxing Company located in Lin Niangniang Temple.

He stayed in Nanyang for seven months this time, and in addition to the fact that things were really complicated, the bigger reason was that he was waiting for the outbreak of the Qing-Vietnam War.

For the current Ye Kai, the elite of his army is slightly higher than that of Ruan Hui, and the weapons and equipment are beyond Ruan Hui's reach, but he also has a fatal weakness, that is, the number of troops has never been able to go up.

First, the reason for the quality of personnel, the biggest factor in the strong combat effectiveness and firm will of the Fuxing Company's army is that they are Ye Kai's relatives.

Whether it is the Huang, Chen, Jiang or even the Zhang and Liu families of Terengganu, not only many people are related to Ye Kai, but they are also the direct beneficiaries of Fuxing Company after its prosperity.

The people who fight side by side with them are also their own relatives, so they can maintain relatively strong combat effectiveness and the ability to withstand damage.

The Chinese families who joined after the establishment of the Fuxing Company and the newcomers from the mainland did not have this layer of interest and kinship.

Their combat effectiveness and will to fight cannot be compared with the original people, and if they expand the size of the army indiscriminately, the price will definitely be a decrease in combat effectiveness.

The second reason is logistical reasons, whether it is guns or bullets or others, the largest scale that Ye Kai can support at present, that is, to maintain a regular army of about five to six thousand people, and a police army of more than 10,000 people.

Of course, there are more than 10,000 police officers, and the guns, ammunition and other equipment consumed are less than half of the 5,000-strong regular army.

And to maintain this scale, in addition to attracting a large number of Chinese to Sizhou in the past six months, the population has exceeded 400,000, but also because Luo Fangbai's Lanfang Company is constantly transfusing blood for Ye Kai.

After determining that he would have a grandson to rule Nanyang, Luo Fangbai is strongly promoting the reform of Lanfangguo, and the so-called Zen Rang Republic has almost become a family.

But even so, with the addition of the police army, maintaining an army of 20,000 people is already the limit!

Unless Ye Kai is willing to play cold weapons, the number of troops will not increase until he takes North Vietnam.

Because of his production capacity of guns and ammunition, there will not be much improvement at present, and only by taking North Vietnam and establishing a certain modern industrial industry can it be possible to start exploding troops.

Moreover, the battle of the water beam also hurt Ye Kai's heart!

More than 200 people died in the battle, including more than 40 of his brothers and nephews, and the tears of more than 30 family members alone made Ye Kai feel uncomfortable.

Although it will be a success, Ye Kai, who has actually experienced this, understands that the taste is really uncomfortable.

Therefore, it has been almost eight months since Ye Kai repelled Ruan Hui's southward movement, and he has not taken any military action against Ruan Hui, and he has been showing weakness and pretending to be cowardly, in order to make Ruan Hui look down on him.

Even when Ruan Hui went south to attack the fortress group of Binh Thuan Province, Ye Kai deliberately threw a few small towns guarded by Quang Nam people to Ruan Hui, making it look like he could only rely on the fortress to defend it.

He was afraid that Ruan Hui would regard him as his greatest enemy, so he would not provoke the Manchus as he did in history, and he would be ashamed to regard himself as the successor of Zhao Tuo's career.
