Hearing Zhou Yishi say this, Zhu Ailan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's the best, when you come out of Shanye Military Academy, you have to take care of me more!" ”

He talked to Zhou Yishi a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye, but as soon as he appeared in the academy, many scholars surrounded him and asked about this autumn exam, and they were concerned about many details.

It's just that Zhu Ailan only reluctantly replied a few words, and came directly to see Liu Chang, and he squeezed out a smile when he saw him: "Check, congratulations, Zhou Yishi and their group of people are willing to hand over the army to go to the military academy!" ”

"It's good to go to a military school!" Liu Chang told Zhu Ailan: "They went to the military academy, and you also have benefits, but you usually have a bad reputation in the township, so you can rein in it for the time being!" ”

Zhu Ailan is also his usual rampant and domineering, causing a lot of enemies in the township, and now he is proud, but if he wants to go further, he has to restrain himself: "Check, the villain knows." ”

He was a little curious about another thing: "Check, what if Zhou Yishi and they refuse to hand over the troops to the military academy and want to lead the troops directly?" ”

Liu Chang immediately replied: "That's easy to do, just control the use!" ”

Zhu Ailan didn't fully understand the term "control and use", but he also knew that there were a lot of hidden words in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and sometimes the Qing army obviously seized the letters and documents of the Taiping Army, but he didn't know what it meant, it was completely foggy, but he knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

"Then I'm going to be glad for my old friend, he made the right choice!" Zhu Ailan continued: "What should we do if someone in our township refuses to join the militia and supports the crowd to defend themselves? ”

"That's easy! Extinguished! Liu Chang couldn't tolerate half-hearted people: "You can do this thing, you tell Zhou Yishi that they are willing to hand over the troops to study at the military academy, then I will not treat them badly, this time I have decided to divide the foreign guns and foreign guns captured by Zhang Yujianliang into a part of the team under their command!" ”

……

This middle-level cadre of Shanye Military Academy was not even shocked when the school started, but it set off a great trend in the entire Lanxi County.

It was only at this time that many small local tyrants in the countryside knew that some of the heroes, strongmen, and squires who were famous in Lanxi had joined the cadre company of Shanye Military Academy, and this cadre company only educated cadres at the platoon level, and Liu Chang still gave lectures in person many times.

Although he, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy giving lectures to a group of middle-aged people in their thirties, seems a bit unusual, but when he thinks of Liu Chang's status and knows that he is the first person in the three prefectures and eighteen counties of Zhejiang, he knows that the cadres who came out of the Shanye Military Academy are all protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, these little tyrants became active all of a sudden, and they all handed over the force in their hands, and they tried every possible way to enter the middle-level cadre company as a transfer student, but this very reasonable request was unanimously opposed by the cadres and the first class of students, they regarded themselves as first-class protégés of the Son of Heaven, how could they tolerate others as transfer students.

They unanimously proposed that transfer students should never be allowed, but there can be second-term and third-term students in the future, and Liu Chang also agreed with their suggestion.

Now the Shanye Military Academy is already a fairly large military education institution, especially the first and second students are almost a regimental system, the Hongjun has always called for a serious shortage of cadres in the past, especially the brave and resourceful cadres are even less, but now this situation can be greatly alleviated by the more than 1,000 military cadets in their lifetimes.

Therefore, no matter which infantry battalion, even the troops in Taizhou and Chuzhou, they all asked for more graduates to be assigned to their units in order to alleviate the shortage of cadres. …,

According to Sun Huzi, that is, "any one can lead a group of people, and they are all good." "In fact, in the public security operations in Jinhua Mansion, the officers and soldiers of the Shanye Military Academy performed very well in replacing training with battles, and repeatedly created a war miracle of annihilating a large number of bandits and militia groups with a very small number of troops, so that the enemy troops in Shaoxing Mansion did not dare to move at all.

In the following internship stage, the Dragon Lance Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, and the Nanxi Battalion all found that the trainee platoon commanders sent over had a broad vision and could read and break ink.

As a result, the current rush has been formed, although the Panshi Battalion has already grabbed a batch of graduates in advance, but now there are requests everywhere to transfer the graduates of the Shanye Military Academy, and Shi Tinglan brought a letter from the state capital: "Lu Ziyun reported that the ten counties of the state capital are completely under the control of our army, but now there is a serious shortage of cadres, and I request that one hundred and fifty graduates of the first phase of the Shanye Military Academy be transferred!" ”

"What a lion's mouth!" As soon as Liu Chang heard this report, he said: "The troops that are now fighting in the state capital, that is, the size of the three reinforced battalions, it would be good to give them fifty graduates, but it actually needs one hundred and fifty. ”

Shi Tinglan said something else: "Check, now that Lu Ziyun controls the entire state capital, is his army a little insufficient?" ”

The Hongjun troops now fighting in the Chuzhou capital, including the Niudao Battalion, as well as the 1st and 2nd Independent Battalions of the Chuzhou, are relatively new troops, but the history of the Niudao Battalion itself is too short.

"For security operations, three reinforced battalions are enough!" Liu Chang thought very clearly: "If the soldiers from Fujian come over, then it will not be enough to reinforce them with another battalion!" ”

Now Liu Chang is not worried about the Zhejiang side and the Jiangnan Daying side, but about the southern Fujian, the civil uprising in Fujian Province has been suppressed by the suppression, and Wang Xinde, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, can completely draw out a hand and attack the north with heavy troops, and the first to bear the brunt is the Chuzhou side.

However, the state side is a battlefield, the mountains and forests here are dense, which is not conducive to the operation of large corps, and the place is poor, and it cannot feed too many troops.

But if Lu Ziyun really wants to face the offensive of the Qing army in Fujian, it will not help to strengthen an infantry battalion, so Liu Chang continued: "What's more, now Lu Ziyun only needs nine counties, Jinyun County is the public security warfare practice base in charge of Shanye Military Academy, and his three battalions only need to give the main force a buffer time to go south!" ”

"Hmm!" Shi Tinglan responded, but she had a lot of ideas: "Then before the autumn harvest, we will besiege Shi Jingfen in Jinhua Mansion without attacking?" ”

"No!" Liu Chang told him: "I'm afraid it's rare for us to have such a time of intimacy, the troops can adjust their training well, and the matter between me and Sister Tinglan and Sister Eldest can also be put on the agenda!" ”

Shi Tinglan's face flushed: "What nonsense?" ”

Liu Chang smiled: "This time the Taiping army attacked Quzhou without going down and retreated to Anhui, although it is also a small setback, it can be said to be a godsend for us, and then the kingdom of heaven can go west to the south, and our Hong army can devote itself to the two provinces of Ningshao, and there is no conflict between them!" ”

Shi Tinglan immediately nodded: "What you said has some truth. ”

The Taiping Army retreated to Anhui, which also represented the unbreakable alliance between the Rainbow Army and the Taiping Army, and now the Rainbow Army can be said to be the grandson monkey who got into the belly of the Iron Fan Princess, setting off countless storms in the deep rear of the Manchu Dynasty. …,

In this case, the Taiping army can be in a very advantageous position militarily, and the two sides can cooperate with each other, but Shi Tinglan asked: "But what does this have to do with the heaven-sent fate?" ”

"This summer, I can have a good relationship with Sister Shi Tinglan and Sister Yang!"

……

Ningbo Mansion.

The arrival of the Baoshun wheel was obviously the most important news in the entire Ningbo Prefecture in July, and even the news that the red thieves were about to be overwhelmed by the army was not as shocking as the news in front of him.

It was a paddle steamer that was not afraid of wind and waves, and although it was still a certain distance from the latest European steamships, everyone said that this steamer steamer was very evil.

Not to mention anything else, it is the first and last two giant cannons, which have opened the eyes of many people, this is not a small cannon on those civilian ships, you must know that the cannons of hundreds of catties to 1,000 catties in the Qing Dynasty, in the hands of foreigners, are just small cannons of four to six pounds.

The two cannons on this paddle steamer were extremely powerful at a glance, not to mention that the sailors on board were equipped with many mini rifles.

That's right, although it's just a rifle, but the power of the Mini rifle in this time and space is far greater than the small-caliber artillery of many small pirate ships, you know, the maximum range of the Mini rifle can exceed 1,200 yards.

And this ship can also walk on the sea like a flat ground, straight out of black smoke, galloping like flying, there is already a new term in Ningbo Prefecture, that is, "look at the ship!" ”

It's just that Bu Xingyou's emotions are very complicated, he glanced at the North Merchant's guild hall at the dock, and said to his brother Bu Liangdai beside him: "Brother, when will this ship go to sea, our brother's job will be smashed!" ”

Buxing has brothers' financial resources, all rely on armed escort, to protect the fishery, but the North merchant spent 140,000 taels of silver to buy this Baoshun ship, also used to escort, in history, this Baoshun ship in just four months swept away the Beiyang pirates, destroyed 68 pirate ships, killed more than 2,000 pirates.

It's just that in this way, the business of the Bu brothers will naturally be greatly affected, and Bu Liangdai over there has already said: "Big brother, Ye Niangzi's little ** hasn't replied to a message yet, what do you think should I do?" Is it that we make a move, and before this kid Zhang Sigui controls this Baoshun boat skillfully, we will start first? ”

Bu Xingyou replied: "Don't worry, Ye Niangzi has to come if she doesn't come, as soon as this Baoshun wheel comes out, even if she has a wild man to protect her on Yuhuan Island, she can't keep her fleet, she has to come, send someone to tell Ye Niangzi, if she doesn't come again, when Zhang Sigui uses the Baoshun wheel well, there will be no chance at all." ”。 ）
