As soon as Zhu Jinglun's domineering declaration was finished, the ship had already arrived at Xinhui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The soldiers were ashore, and a group of foreigners were mixed in, and there were many foreigners in Zhu Jinglun's army, and there were nearly 100 if the Indians were also counted.

In fact, there were not many Indian soldiers, only twenty, and now they were all officers, and the leader was still Garawa, and they had two hundred men under them. There were a total of fifty Indian soldiers under Zhu Jinglun, and the remaining thirty were all serving under Hou Jin.

Among the remaining foreigners, the Swedes are the most, these Swedes still do not show their identities, as mercenaries in the training of Zhu Jinglun soldiers, this time the Swedes brought are mainly artillery officers, Zhu Jinglun's artillery is close to 300 people, composed of the children of the Chen family in Shajing and the children of the five surnames of Kowloon, the characteristic is that all of them are scholars, under the training of Swedish artillery consultants, they have been diligent to make up for mathematical knowledge, learn artillery operation techniques and tactics, now their level is already good, the main lack is practical experience.

There are more than 30 of these Swedish artillery officers, and more than 20 are infantry officers, and among the infantry officers, in addition to teaching infantry drills, there are also those in charge of logistics management, military dispatch, reconnaissance operations, and the formulation of advance plans.

But to really complete the military reform, it is not an overnight thing, at least let the Swedes teach some scholars who have never been exposed to geometry knowledge to learn Western drawing techniques and principles, I am afraid that it is unlikely that it will be two or three years, they have too many courses to make up.

In addition to the Swedes, there were also a few Americans with them, and they were still the seven American investigators, who did not come to investigate this time, but Zhu Jinglun invited them to visit the army.

Zhu Jinglun understands that his army is not very good for the time being, and it is not comparable to the armies of European powers, but it should be said that there is still a certain deterrent effect against the United States, a country that does not have a standing army, and he just wants to let Americans and even other countries see through the eyes of these Americans that his army has a certain combat effectiveness, and should not be easily provoked.

Of course, it was mainly the Americans, because even if the Americans told Britain and France that the Chinese army was very capable of fighting, these two empty-eyed robbers would not care at this time, because in their eyes, the American army was like that.

In the 1950s, the British and French ******** came together obscenely, in 1855 they jointly beat the Tsarist Russian Empire, in 1856 the British beat Persia, in 1857 beat India; The French were rampant in Europe, and in 1859 they sent troops to Italy to fight against the Austrian Empire, killing and rewarding more than 20,000 Austrian troops in World War I, becoming the arbiter of Europe; As for the colonial wars that took place, needless to say, France has never stopped expanding in Africa over the years, and the British have also annexed large African colonies one after another. Now the two countries are joining forces to fight China, and in a few years they will join forces to send a European king to Mexico, such two hooligans join forces, who will they fear in the world.

Therefore, Zhu Jinglun's main purpose in inviting the Americans here was to scare the Americans, and he knew that the Americans had been a little restless recently.

The news of the decision of Britain and France to expand the war against China has been made public in the Western world, and the combat goals they have set are not secrets, such as attacking Beijing, one of the purposes is to teach the Chinese, they also mentioned that they want to enter Beijing to change the treaty, and named and said that they cannot take the Beitang route that Hua Ruohan walked, and if they want to take Tanggu to enter Beijing from the main road, they must take a palanquin, and they cannot make a big car like Hua Ruohan, everything is compared with Hua Ruohan, so that Hua Ruohan has become a laughing stock in the foreign diplomatic circle at this time.

Of course, Hua Ruohan was dissatisfied, and later he was sunk by the warship, and he was injured a little, which was even more dissatisfied, although he later signed a charter with the Guangdong region and reached some aftermath agreements, he always held back a force in his heart, and heard that the British and French coalition planned to attack Beijing on a large scale, Hua Ruohan's mind came alive, he knew very well that the two major hooligans of the British and French coalition joined forces to be invincible in the world, if the American army was to attack Beijing together at this time, it would be foolproof, and he could rebuild his honor, He also wanted to take a sedan chair into Beijing, and he also wanted to stand to meet the emperor, so he recently got very close to the British and French ministers, expressing his interest in the United States also wanting to send troops, hoping to form an alliance with Britain and France.

Although the United States is still very birdy in this era, it can still do it by sending one or two thousand troops and sending more than ten ships, after all, it is also a country that has fought with the British twice, and although the north has been beaten very badly, it has always won the victory in the end, and it still has strength. The only obstacle is that Warren's mission, the U.S. government's request that he fight for the interests of the U.S. as much as possible without angering the Qing court, is that the U.S. government never considered war, not that Warren himself was really that ridiculous.

After all, Lincoln is now actively running for president, which is not an ordinary election, because this time Lincoln represents the Republican Party, which is a newly rising American party, Lincoln currently has a huge advantage, and it is very likely that the Republican Party will be in power for the first time, and now the focus of Americans' hearts is slavery, not China.

However, Zhu Jinglun did not dare to be careless, he provoked the Americans to use the Americans to suppress the Baigui and the Guangdong government, instead of really making the Americans feel that the dignity of the country had been lost, forcing the Americans to the point when they had to send troops, even if they wanted to make a good friendship with the Qing government and make a fortune, it is estimated that they would have to send troops.

The Americans were the last to get off the ship, they still brought a lot of equipment, mapping, surveying, after Zhu Jinglun seized their information last time, he went through it himself, and then handed over the data to the Swedes, and asked them to leave the part involving military intelligence as their own information, and the rest of the economic ones were returned to the Americans, such as the tea specimens they collected, which were just samples used to distinguish the types and qualities of tea from all over China, and there was no need to detain them. But they did not give them any of the waterways and hydrological conditions they measured.

Who knew that this time the Americans insisted on measuring again.

A total of ten sailing ships, traditional Chinese brigs, these are all sailors collected by Bai Gui in Guangzhou, all of which were given to Zhu Jinglun, of which only two were used to transport troops, and the rest were used to transport munitions, materials and military rations.

If only two ships were used to transport troops, there would certainly not be many soldiers, and the first batch consisted of only two hundred men, a battalion of soldiers led by the Indian Garava.

Zhu Jinglun has not landed on the shore yet, because he is waiting for the Xinhui government to send someone to pick him up, the last time he went to the county seat was turned away from the city, he said that he was very unhappy, in fact, he still gave the Xinhui government a dismissal, telling them that he was not easy to deal with, so that he could get along happily with Xinhui County.
