Fan Kai got the five words 'Great China Bank' written by Liu Taiping and left. When I got back, I quickly framed the five large characters.

Half a month later, the office of the Great China Bank was built.

The location of the bank is in the heart of Guangzhou, not far from the Heroes Memorial Ground.

According to Fan Kai's design, the bank is the specification of the two sides of the building. The second floor is for big customers and big businessmen to negotiate business, and it is the office of the bank's managers. The ground floor is the main office area, and the lobby is for ordinary people to start business. Fan Kai is a decisive person, he has foreseen that his bank will be affected after the operation of the bank, and directly dissolved the bank, bringing the familiar hands of the bank to the bank.

For the original guys, entering the bank is undoubtedly a chicken turning into a phoenix, and they are all extremely enthusiastic.

When the Bank of Greater China opened, Li Zhen was personally involved.

At the same time, the people who came to participate included Liu Taiping, Wang Xiaoyang, Li Xiaotong, Huang Shihai, Qi Zhenhai, Dai Yuanhua, Bo Jia and other cadres, which were very lively. The plaque of the Bank of Great China was hung high under the witness of Li Zhen and the witness of hundreds of letters. After the opening ceremony, Fan Kai invited the lion dance, and invited Li Zhen, the generals and businessmen to watch the opera and listen to the music, which was lively all day.

After the opening of the bank, Guangzhou gradually calmed down again.

Hospitals and banks are booming, and business in Guangzhou is booming, and all are developing in a better direction.

During this time, there was no reaction from the Japanese side.

After Li Zhen destroyed Yanagi Jianren and the Japanese samurai who attacked Guangzhou, he was always on guard. He believed that it was impossible for the Yanagi family not to avenge Yanagi Jianren, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

After Miyamoto Taijian contacted Li Zhen, Li Zhen learned the reason. The two successive losses had a great impact on the shogunate, and the Tokugawa shogunate and the Yagyu family had to resist the reformers who had fallen to the shogunate, and they had no experience dealing with Li Zhen for the time being, but they still wanted to buy weapons. Li Zhen agreed to Miyamoto's request and sold the first batch of weapons, 3,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition.

It's not much, but it's sold for ridiculously high prices. Each spear is fifty taels of silver, and three thousand guns are one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. plus 100,000 rounds of ammunition and 50,000 taels of silver, for a total of 200,000 taels of silver.

Although the money was not much, the transformation of Dai Yuanhua's arsenal began.

The weapons sold by Dai Yuanhua were slightly inferior guns, but they could make huge profits.

In addition to the development of the arsenal, the underwear factory and perfume factory of the Alice sisters have also made great progress, and have monopolized the whole of Guangzhou, and began to spread and expand rapidly to the surrounding areas, almost irresistible. Gulina's business was also quite successful, selling arms with Blair and began to make money for Li Zhen.

Everything has entered the normal.

In late October, the number of soldiers in the army ushered in another expansion.

This time it was not a promotion, but an expansion of the 5,000-strong brigade into a reinforced brigade of 10,000 men.

The five regiments led by Huang Shihai expanded to 2,000 men each, so that the five regiments had a total of 10,000 soldiers. This kind of strength is already the maximum that Li Zhen can support at present. After all, 10,000 soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, if soldiers only need swords, guns and food, even if they have another 30,000 or 40,000 troops, Li Zhen can afford to raise them.

However, the 10,000 people under Li Zhen's command had to train to shoot guns, consume bullets, wear out weapons, and consume countless amounts of money every day. Li Zhen has raised 10,000 elites and has already taken on a great burden.

During this period, Li Zhen went to the military camp from time to time to check on the training in the military camp. At the beginning of November, the weather began to get cold, and Li Zhen found that the army's training had not decreased in the slightest, but had become more and more intense, and the training had become more stringent.

The original recruits have gradually adapted to the life of the army.

In mid-to-late November, the army's training gradually weakened.

On November 18, six generals, Huang Shihai, Qi Zhenhai, Yang Banhou, Lu Shaochuan, Smith, and Zhou Xiuying, came to the Admiral's Mansion together. In the study, Li Zhen looked at the six generals and asked, "All of you are here, is there anything big?" ”

Huang Shihai said: "My lord, do you remember what you said when you formed the five corps? ”

"What did I say?" Li Zhen asked.

Huang Shihai said: "When the five regiments were formed, we were going to compete with each other, and you said that if anyone wins, they will be rewarded with artillery alone. At the beginning, due to various delays, now that the time is ripe, I have decided to hold a big army competition after consulting with the commanders of the five regiments. ”

"Okay!"

Li Zhen stood up and said solemnly: "Train more in peacetime, and only in wartime can there be less bloodshed." It's a good thing for the army to do a big game, I agreed. When the time comes, I will personally watch, and in addition to the rewarded cannons, I will separately award the regiment that won the first place as the ace regiment. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Xiuying, Lu Shaochuan and others were all excited, and their eyes lit up.

Honor is the biggest face of a soldier and the most exciting.

Li Zhen asked again: "Since you are preparing for Dabi, is the content of Dabi ready?" ”

Huang Shihai said unhurriedly: "The content has been decided, and it is divided into two rounds of confrontation. The content of the first round of competition is the most, each regiment selects the most elite company, and compares shooting, climbing, wading, long-distance running, and so on, all of which are two-by-two, and the five regiments are two-by-two confrontations, and the two worst regiments are eliminated after the game. The remaining three regiments competed against each other to determine the most powerful regiment. ”

After a pause, Huang Shihai said in a deep voice: "The second round of confrontation is no longer a separate competition, but is chosen to be conducted outside the city. The three regiments are each in a camp, attacking each other, and only a victorious regiment can be called an ace regiment. ”

"Smack! Syllable!! ”

Li Zhen nodded and praised: "Very good, the second round of confrontation is the most suitable, the most test ability, I believe it is very exciting." ”

Li Zhen is full of expectations for this big competition.

Each of the five regiments sent its most elite soldiers into a company, all of which were confrontational contests. Especially with Zhou Xiuying's female corps, with such a special existence, I believe that the soldiers of the rest of the regiments dare not relax.

At this moment, Li Zhen couldn't wait.

Li Zhen asked, "When is the time?" ”

Huang Shihai said: "Report to the marshal, you can start at any time, just wait for the marshal to determine the time." ”

Li Zhen thought about it carefully and said, "Today is November 18, give you two more days to prepare." November 20 is a big competition, and when the big competition is over, almost December, it's time to prepare for the New Year. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shihai and the others saluted together, their eyes full of expectation.

Huang Shihai is the brigade commander in the army, the highest military commander, and does not need to participate in the army's big competition. However, there were five regiment commanders below, and the commanders of these five regiments looked at the rest of the people, their eyes full of gunpowder. Zhou Xiuying, as the only female leader, is even more energetic in her heart, secretly cheering herself up. The so-called women do not let the eyebrows, she wants to prove that female soldiers are not weaker than male soldiers.

Everyone got up and took their leave, all of them to prepare.

Li Zhen looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and he was secretly excited in his heart.

ps: Fifth shift, call it a day; I owe 1 more, I will pay it back, these two days are a little busy, forgive me.
