Getting Tesla is Hu Xiaoyan's biggest gain recently. China has neither scientists nor scientific soil, and if it wants to develop national science and technology, it will not be able to do without these people. But are these Western scientists willing to come to China? They won't want to, even if they put a knife on their necks, they won't want to!

Therefore, every big scientist who is willing to stay is a valuable asset for Hu Xiaoyan, not to mention that Tesla is not only a big scientist but also a big inventor. This person is no less effective for Hu Xiaoyan than a nuclear warhead.

Now that Tesla has been left behind with a black technology intelligent computer, I believe that even if Morgan and others force Tesla with guns, they will not be able to save Tesla's heart. The new technology is even more alluring to someone like Tesla than the purest powder.

Knowing the changes in the capital, Hu Xiaoyan had to rely on Li Hongzhang's power again! If Tesla and Shanghai Chengxin University are Hu Xiaoyan's soft power, then the heavy industry system is Hu Xiaoyan's hard power. It's a pity that the steel mills are all in Anhui, and since Hu Xiaoyan has become the governor of Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, he naturally can't manage Anhui. But he can't let go of Anhui no matter what.

So what if that's the case? It's always right to go to your superiors when you have a problem. And Hu Xiaoyan's superior is Li Hongzhang.

So Hu Xiaoyan immediately sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang, and in less than an hour, Hu Xiaoyan received Li Zhongtang's reply: Li Jingmai was transferred to the county magistrate of Ma'anshan County. Zhang Binglin was appointed as the manager of the seven products of the Ma'anshan Iron Mine Yamen.

Li Hongzhang is already very powerful, but unfortunately he still lost the coal and iron mines in Lieshan and the light industrial zone in Anqing! The governor of Anhui is still Enming, but no matter how much Enming admires Hu Xiaoyan, he has to do it against Hu, after all, Hu Xiaoyan has completely turned his face with the Manchus. If it weren't for Li Hongzhang's strength, if it wasn't for Gengzi's negotiation, he would still need Li Hongzhang. Hu Xiaoyan has long been branded as a rebel.

When Hu Xiaoyan received the telegram, he knew that Li Hongzhang had to compromise. Without Cixi's suppression, Li Hongzhang couldn't do many things. It's really funny to say, Cixi and Li Hongzhang are definitely big rivals - the kind that you live and die. It's a pity that Cixi can't do without Li Hongzhang, otherwise Cixi's will estimate that the Forbidden City would become waste paper, which can be seen from the fact that after the signing of the Xinchou Treaty, Cixi can no longer control the court, and Zhang Zhidong no longer listens to the orders of the center. And what about Li Hongzhang? He also needs Cixi, otherwise he will not have the name of righteousness. Without the name of righteousness, the governors in various places will hardly care about Li Hongzhang. As long as the governors of various places do not know about rebellion, can you still send troops to attack? Didn't you see Zhang Zhidong being the governor of Huguang until he died? According to the laws of the imperial court, the governor of a province must be transferred to another province for a maximum of ten years. But this article is useless for Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi and others. None of these people had an edict from the Empress of Bird.

But now Cixi is gone, and Li Hongzhang is also old. Li Hongzhang had the heart to return to heaven but was powerless to save the country, although those princes of the Manchus understood the importance of Li Hongzhang to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they understood even more that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was powerless to return to heaven. Just look at the "Southeast Mutual Insurance Agreement" of Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai and others, and no governor in the southeast province cares about the life or death of Beijing. If you don't take the opportunity to make more money at this time, will you go to the street to be a beggar in the future? Even with the talent of Yixuan, there is nothing to be done. This is the trend of the times, and it cannot be reversed by manpower.

Li Hongzhang has done his best to get Ma'anshan. He didn't dare not do his best. Who Hu Xiaoyan is, he knew it on the first day he saw him. It's just that he has selfish intentions, and everyone has selfish intentions. He wanted to leave some vitality for Anhui. No matter how you say it, he is also from Anhui. The most important thing is that he is old and can't live long, so he also wants to leave some shade for the Li family.

When Hu Xiaoyan saw the telegram, he understood what Li Hongzhang meant. So he didn't ask for anything more. No matter how much Li Hongzhang can't do.

With the good news, Hu Xiaoyan accompanied Angel to Shanghai for two laps with peace of mind, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. He picked up a telegram: Our army met with 30,000 Japanese troops, and retreated to Jiutai County with 3,000 men. To fight or not to fight? Wang Ting's frame.

Hu Xiaoyan sighed secretly. Wang Tingjiao is such an idiot! He picked up a telegram again, and this one was much longer. From the Internal Affairs Investigation Division. It was also transmitted back from the front.

Zhang Shaozeng was ambushed by the 30,000 Japanese vanguard with a vanguard army of 5,000, but he led people to defend it, and then sent a telegram back to Wang Tingjiao to warn him about countermeasures. Wang Tingjiao brought 10,000 Chinese troops to the rescue, but 45,000 people were in an uproar. Later, 30,000 Japanese troops came to help, and finally the airship arrived in time and rescued them. But it was precisely because the airship was so powerful that the Japanese could not hit the airship at all, and only suffered from the Maxine machine gun, so the Japanese launched a general charge.

With airships on and cannons on Maxine, the Japanese took Zhang Shaozeng's defensive position after two charges. Fortunately, Zhang Shaozeng saw that the opportunity was not good, leaving hundreds of wounded and sick to hold the position with Maxine, and he himself led the main force to run out under the response of Wang Tingjiao.

In this battle, the Japanese army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and Wang Ting's troops were killed 3,000. Both sides gave up. The Japanese army was afraid of the airship, and Wang Tingjiao was afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. Although the main line of defense stopped, the side line fighting did not. After the Japanese army left 30,000 troops to watch Wang Tingjiao in Jiutai County, the 60,000 troops were reduced to zero and attacked the county seat east of Jiutai in an all-round way. The defending forces of these counties are less than a thousand people, and of course they can't stop it. As a result, almost all the county towns east of Jiutai near North Korea were breached. However, Wang Ting's department did not dare to make the slightest move.

Hu Xiaoyan said that Wang Ting's frame is stupid, and the problem is here! After the reorganization of Anhui's new army, its combat effectiveness was indeed inferior to that of the Japanese army. But that's not how combat effectiveness is calculated. If you really want to talk about it, when Hachi raised the army, neither the strength nor the combat effectiveness were as good as the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou. But in the end, Hong Chengchou lost. Hachi's strategy is actually very simple, and the history books glorify this strategy as no matter how many ways you come, I will only go all the way.

In fact, this is already in Sun Tzu's Art of War: Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten is to encircle, five is to attack, and multiple is divided, the enemy can fight, less can escape, and if not, it can be avoided. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured.

What does that mean? To put it simply, if my army is more than ten times the enemy, I can besiege him, and if I attack him more than five times, more than once, then try to disperse his troops, specialize in hitting the enemy's weak forces, and eat the enemy army one bite at a time.

And Wang Tingjiao is also facing this situation, the Japanese army of 30,000 people pinned down his 27,000 troops, the two are about the same strength, and he also has airships! But they didn't dare to attack! He even sent a telegram to ask if he would fight. What do you say it's not stupid!

However, Hu Xiaoyan thought about it and understood Wang Tingjiao's distress! These 30,000 people are Hu Xiaoyan's only troops, and they will be gone when they are gone. The troops are gone, and Hu Xiaoyan's position cannot be maintained. Wang Tingjiao's question is very clear, this battle cannot be fought!

After Hu Xiaoyan figured it out, he smiled bitterly. He is very grateful for Wang Tingjiao's loyalty. But what is the use of a force coming if it does not dare to fight? is like Li Yunlong on "Bright Sword", how much does Li Yunlong really know about the art of war? Is he really that capable of fighting?

No! Li Yunlong didn't read much at all, let alone military books. He didn't even have much formal military training, but why was his unit so good at fighting? Quite simply, his troops dare to fight! No matter who the enemy is and how many troops the opponent has, he dares to fight. This is the spirit of the bright sword.

In fact, the level of training of both officers and soldiers in the national army is stronger than Li Yunlong, but why can't they fight? Quite simply, they are used to running. From the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Nanjing, there was no shadow. Then to the Battle of Wuhan. Most of the troops of the Nationalist Army even ran away when they saw the shadow of the Japanese army. You get used to it when you run. The first thought of the enemy in the future is: Run.

Hu Xiaoyan's dissatisfaction with Wang Tingjiao is also here. The troops are given to you, and you just have to take care of the war. As for what to do if the troops are gone, this kind of thing should not be a question that a front-line general should consider. This is a question that Hu Xiaoyan should consider. Wang Ting's frame crossed the line.

"Send a telegram! Ask Wang Tingjiao if he wants to sit in my position! Hu Xiaoyan said to Liu Zhensheng.

Liu Zhensheng nodded and withdrew.

When Wang Tingjiao received the telegram, he was stunned. Speaking of which, he and Hu Xiaoyan are called subordinates, but in fact, their relationship is like brothers. He sincerely admired Hu Xiaoyan.

How much Hu Xiaoyan spent on the army in Anhui is not clear to others. His royal frame is vivid. All the investment in the army of light has passed through his hands. This also moved Wang Tingjiao even more. He himself had been in the Huai Army, and he knew very well that according to Hu Xiaoyan's expenses, it would not be a problem to raise more than three times the Huai Army troops with the same investment.

But as long as Wang Tingjiao was in a nervous mood and took the application to see Hu Xiaoyan, Hu Xiaoyan signed his name without saying a word. It's as if the money spent is only a few pennies.

Hu Xiaoyan's money is not blowing in the wind! The changes in Lieshan Town before and after Hu Xiaoyan's arrival were also seen. Therefore, Wang Tingjiao sincerely hopes that Hu Xiaoyan can live longer and sit more firmly in his position.

Even if Zhang Shaozeng, Lu Jin, Li Zejun and others shouted and beat out, he forcibly pressed it down. Because he knew how important the troops in his hands were to Hu Xiaoyan.

But this telegram really made Wang Tingjiao scratch his head.

I don't have any ideas! Wang Tingjiao touched a few beards on his chin with a calm face.

"I heard that the telegram is coming. What does the Boss say? A loud voice pushed the door in. It's Yang Shi.

Wang Tingjiao handed over the telegram.

Yang Shi laughed after reading it: "I'll just say, you still don't listen." It's good now. If you offend the boss, you will have to suffer. ”

"I can make you suffer right now." Wang Tingjiao put his face on the board.

Yang Shi's laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Call your lord! What a boss boss. You're in the army! Wang Tingjiao pointed to his seat.

Yang Shi honestly sat up and put down the telegram.

"What do you mean, sir?" Wang Tingjiao was a little panicked in his heart, but he had to remain serious. He was too young, and there was occasionally some gossip coming in from below, which he just thought he couldn't hear, but afterwards he was more serious and stern. He was afraid that he had betrayed the trust of adults.

"Commander, you still don't know what you mean?" Yang Shi replied awkwardly.

"He said before that no matter how much training the troops have, it is useless, and they will only know when they pull it out and fight a dozen. Our troops are not weak, and we have artillery airships, so there is no reason to sit here and wait? ”

"As for your concerns, I know that. But the troops are adults, and after the light, aren't there still adults to figure out a way? We are officers, just think about how to fight. The rest of the issues are not what we should be considering. ”

Wang Tingjiao nodded. He seemed to understand what Yang Shi meant.

Yang Shi quietly glanced at Wang Tingjiao's face.

"Teacher, my lord doesn't mean anything else. But you did cross the line. ”

Wang Tingjiao's face suddenly turned pale. He jerked to his feet

"Someone! Convene a meeting of the Lord! ”
