"The name of the militia is estimated to be known within a few days, and I will send a group of young people over when the time comes." Yang Yuanzhao said solemnly.

"Then I'll rest assured, with these weapons, at most 3 months, I will bring you a qualified soldier out of the target!"

"Beiyang Army standards?" Yang Yuanzhao asked.

"How is that possible!" Wang Jinming laughed a little and said: "The Beiyang Army, that is cultivated for decades, I can train a qualified soldier, but I can't train an officer, if you can find me an officer, you can be similar to Beiyang, and even with the support of weapons, it will be stronger than the Beiyang Army!" ”

"Officer!" Yang Yuanzhao was puzzled in his heart, now in China, there is no military academy, there is an officer training team in Beiyang, other military schools, really not established, the famous Baoding Military Academy, I don't know where it is, speaking of this, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but think of the famous general who established the Baoding Military Academy, it seems that he is in Germany now, let Harpy pay attention to it in Germany, maybe, he can pull him over.

"Brother Jin Ming, I don't have to worry about the affairs of the army to you, please put up the shelf!"

Baotou is now so big, money-making projects one after another, when the cotton textile mill is launched, after it is put into production, many things can not be hidden, this is not Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is closer to Baotou in Gyeonggi, God knows what will be the charm of the spirit, will be here to think, there was no chance before, relying on the four families, now the eight families of the Jin merchants can be guarded, now, there is a chance to go to the regular army, and there is enough ammunition as a backing, how can it not develop, with the army, there is a stable cornerstone.

It's November 1908 soon, what will happen in November 1908, Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that he has been trying to catch up with time, even if Wang Jinming doesn't lead the team over, he will strive to get the right to guide the armed forces during this time period, Wang Jinming is here, with such 800 veterans as seeds, his army expansion plan will be greater.

The Qing Dynasty, about to perish, one of the most influential power figures in the late Qing Dynasty, is about to die, on November 14, the Guangxu Emperor died, a day later, the Empress Dowager Cixi passed away, and passed away one day after another, descendants speculated that there would be a lot of stories, these, Yang Yuanzhao did not care, within a month, the two emperors both died, the most chaotic moment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was coming, only a few years old The last emperor was going to ascend the throne, and the power fell into the hands of his father, the regent Zaifeng.

Zaifeng and Yuan Shikai have always been at odds, after taking power, quickly let Yuan Shikai vacancy, Yuan Shikai, who is powerful all over the world, was beaten back to Xiangcheng's hometown, forming a huge power vacuum in Gyeonggi, the eyes of the Beiyang Army can no longer be placed in the whole country, and even the ** party is at this time, a large number of tentacles are deep into the new army, this is a huge opportunity, Baotou has armed forces, will not attract anyone's attention.

Whether it is the Qing court or the central government, there will be a period of chaos, the Beiyang Army wants Yuan Shikai to come back, and the Manchu nobles have always wanted to put the government in the hands of the Han people, re-control in their hands, the contradictions between the two are irreconcilable, in the middle, in 1909, there will be a lot of chaos, even inconsistent orders, when the most powerful military organization Beiyang retreated, all kinds of political forces were active on this stage, and even the so-called democratic consultative bureau appeared in China, and waited until a qiē stabilizedIt's been a year later.

This is probably the rarest, but also the most precious year, as long as we seize such a year, the development of Baotou, will be completely different from now, with the strength of Baotou, plus the support of the all-in-one machine, there are 800 elite soldiers, Baotou's military strength, will be extended to what Cheng dù, against Beiyang, it is unlikely, relying on logistics and Baotou's industrial system, if you fight a defensive war, even if Beiyang does its best, it may not be able to fight, this is Yang Yuanzhao's confidence, but also the foundation for the establishment of the future industrial zone.

Coming out of the barracks, things are handed over to Wang Jinming, suitable things, always let the right people arrange to manage, this is the way of management, everything has to be intervened, this is not shrewd, but chaotic command, rather than spending effort, it is better to do the most critical things well.

After leaving the barracks, Yang Yuanzhao went to find Liu Shu, no matter what, there are still a few days before the 14th and 15th, even if Cixi and Guangxu passed away, and the news reached Baotou, it is estimated that it will be a few days later.

The matter of the militia has always been TOEFL to Liu Shu, before planting wheat and the project of synthetic ammonia, which involved most of Yang Yuanzhao's energy, and he did not pay attention to this aspect of the militia, but now, Wang Jinming has arrived, sometimes, the landlord is a big family, raising a few hundred families, this is a common thing, but this time there are too many people, 800 people, are fully armed elite soldiers, there is no militia as a name, it is difficult to make people suspicious.

"I heard that a group of soldiers are coming!" When Liu Shu saw Yang Yuanzhao, he took the initiative to ask, as the actual manager of Baoken Company, he was still as well-informed as ever.

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, these soldiers did not intend to hide Liu Shu, except for the officials of the Qing court, all the shareholders and friends, he did not intend to hide it, showing his strength, it is also a promotion of cooperation, a person who has no strength but sits on wealth, it is a child holding gold nuggets in the downtown area, the child must be allowed to grow up, the background or something, there is always something that is not useful.

"Yes!"

Liu Shu glanced at Yang Yuanzhao and asked, "Yuan Zhao is asking me about the affairs of the militia group, it was done a few days ago, but Yuan Zhao was not given because there is a chance, I am hesitating whether to tell you or not!" ”

"What chances? Is it related to vigilante groups? ”

"It's not related to the militia group, it's the Yellow River patrol battalion."

Yang Yuanzhao was shocked, the patrol battalion is the old military system, belongs to the old army, the river patrol is very autonomous, more important, the river affairs of the Yellow River, not as good as the Yangtze River, because of the relationship between the downstream navigation cut, canceled a few years ago, there have been people calling for the establishment, but it has not succeeded, the key is that the government has no money, can not take out the funds of the Huanghe patrol battalion, so, has always been empty.

"Can you really get it?" Yang Yuanzhao said with some excitement, he didn't expect such a good thing to fall on his head.

"The military budget is self-raised, but you can charge it on the Yellow River." Liu Shu frowned and said, Huanghe's patrol battalion is a good thing, and it is also a big supplement to the caravan of the Yang family and others, the key is that this military budget is self-raised, let him consider it.

"It's okay, take it down, raise it yourself, and you don't plan to ask for central funding anyway." Yang Yuanzhao said excitedly, those drawings obtained from Shanghai, the big ship is not good, it is too troublesome to build, it is often thousands of tons, tens of tons, dozens of tons, more than 100 tons of small boats, but it can be built casually, no matter how small the ship is, he is also a ship, a gunboat with 75-105 mm guns, above the Yellow River, is simply a gate, anyone who wants to cross this gate, will pay a huge price.

"It's not easy to take this down, what do you need me to do?"

"This is thanks to Hou Jinsheng, if it weren't for him getting through the relationship with the Hou family, we would have been stuck in General Suiyuan, fortunately, we don't have to pay salaries and funds from the General's Mansion, and hand over 100,000 yuan a year." Liu Shu said: "Of course, this money is to share the profits to the entire Suiyuan General's Mansion, as well as upward dots, but if the patrol battalion can be established, the annual checkpoint income should be between 80,000 and 120,000!" ”

The income of the level is 80,000-120,000, which is equivalent to taking an intermediate number, which cannot be said too much, the general income, slightly tilted, or a little more diligent, it is normal to have more than two or three percent, so that the income is also between 2 and 30,000, which is also a good errand.

Errands make money or not, or even whether it will be charged, Yang Yuanzhao doesn't care, 100,000 taels of handing over every year, which is extremely difficult for others to complete, for Yang Yuanzhao, it is simply a gesture, Baotou's various factories, any one to take out, are rich, cement plant, a day of 9,000 barrels of output, a pass of two yuan, is close to 20,000, the gross profit margin is at least forty percent, or even fifty percent, because lime clay, and even iron ore powder, rarely bought, are ready resources dug out, What is paid is only the cost, the machine qì or something, the discount is calculated as the cost, and the profit is also extremely amazing.

The flour mill is also a big money-maker in Baotou, and it has turned the wheat around Baotou into white flour, not to mention the more profitable cotton textile mill, which gave Yang Yuanzhao enough foundation, not to mention the business of Germany and the United States and tungsten, which is a foreign currency, which can be exchanged for gold.

"Isn't it just 100,000, I'll open a bill of exchange and hand it over to General Suiyuan's mansion!"

"Sure enough, it's worthy of Brother Yuanzhao, so cool, then I'll go to Suiyuan today!"

"Can we do it today?" Yang Yuanzhao was overjoyed and asked.

"Of course, I was going to ask you before, if you agreed, I would go to Suiyuan, and now that you have agreed, I can get you a letter of appointment for the patrol battalion back!"

"Okay, go ahead and do it, money is not an issue."

A militia group, a patrol battalion, a local armed forces, an official identity, even if it is the old military system, it can be regarded as a personnel in the system, with this foundation, when the new army in Shanxi is built in the future, a little push, a position will be taken down, this is definitely a surprise, not to mention anything else, just say that in front of you, the standard of 1,000 people in the militia and the standard of 700 people in the patrol battalion, this is the military strength of 1,700 people, and a weak standard, but so much.

Liu Shu was pushed out by the eager Yang Yuanzhao, shook his head with a wry smile, but didn't say much, ran directly to the Weijia ticket number to open a 100,000 silver dollar bill, and then took the carriage to Suiyuan, now the cement road from Suiyuan to Baotou has been roughly connected, from Baotou to Suiyuan, there is only a short section of road, can not drive quickly, at most half a day, can be reached.
