Chapter 115 - One Hundred Thousand Rifles
ā¦ā¦
And seeing that Zhang Yun finally named his name, Tie Niu, who had been silent, had no choice but to say: "My subordinates listen to the handsome." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
For Tie Niu's answer, Zhang Yun nodded again and again!
Originally, there were times when Zhang Yun asked the people below for advice.
That was not Zhang Yun's original intention, but just that Zhang Yun was afraid that if he listened to it, he would be dark, so he deliberately pretended to be in some scenes.
But Yang Feifei and others always don't know how to pretend to understand, and always want to teach Zhang Yun how to do things, thinking that Zhang Yun can't see it!
And Zhang Yun, who has more than 100 years of knowledge from later generations and more than everyone in this era, when does he need others to guide him in doing things?
For Yang Feifei and their behavior of pretending to be stupid, Zhang Yun sometimes has a headache, but it is not good to tear his face directly, and tell them clearly, Lao Tzu has already seen through your behavior......
Therefore, Zhang Yun always wants to find something to do, and beats them intentionally or unintentionally, lest when they are fine, he is always wondering, what should he do? Teach yourself to do things!
This time, no less!
Zhang Yun had already made a decision in his heart that he would continue to sell rifles to the Taiping Army, so that they could go to the ring with Zuo Zongtang...... lest Zuo Zongtang be too lonely.
But Zhang Yun didn't say it, but threw out a topic first, waited for Yang Feifei and them to jump out, and then beat them up!
Now that the goal has been achieved, Zhang Yun has not continued this topic.
Instead, he said again: "Ben Shuai wants to sell rifles to the Taiping Army, so that they can form a confrontation situation with Zuo Zongtang, so as not to be too calm in the world and pose a threat to our stability!" ā
"But what about this specific amount, Ben Shuai has not decided for a while, and he has to wait for the intelligence department to investigate clearly, how many rifles will the British sell to Zuo Zongtang?"
"Let's go toe-to-toe again...... Let's just wait for the news to come in. ā
ā¦ā¦
And so, two days later.
After finally figuring out how many rifles Britain and the United States could mobilize in the Far East, Zhang Yun immediately sent the same number of rifles to Henan......
As for when the British? Sending the rifle to the north, Zhang Yun didn't want to care!
For the Manchu court, if you want to get this batch of rifles in the hands of the British, what unequal treaties have to be signed? Zhang Yun didn't want to know either!
Because no matter how many unequal treaties the Manchu court finally signed with the British, Zhang Yun would not admit any of them......
For example, in the First Opium War, Hong Kong, which was ceded by the British, Zhang Yun has never thought of returning it since he occupied it.
This is also a reason why the British are hostile to Zhang Yun, because Zhang Yun has never had a bottom line in doing things!
In the eyes of the British, your emperor agreed to cede Hong Kong to Lao Tzu, but you, the bandit leader, took it and had no intention of returning it.
That's it, it's just that Lao Tzu is on land, and he can't beat you......
For these things, Zhang Yun naturally knew in his heart, the reason why the British were very hostile to the Patriotic Army was because Zhang Yun hindered their huge interests in the Far East, at least their opium now, they don't know where to sell it?
You must know that in India, the British have a very large opium cultivation base, but they don't know who to sell the opium they produce now?
Although the British can make Zhang Yun dare not go to the sea, and Zhang Yun can also make the footsteps of the British not be able to step on the land of this country at all, so there is no way to sell opium, and even the previous channels have been destroyed by Zhang Yun!
ā¦ā¦
And when the Manchu court continued to tighten its belt, especially when Cixi was determined to give Rong Lu and continue to form a second cavalry unit.
Driven by huge interests, according to intelligence, several warships of the British Yankees had already left Singapore and headed north.
And even how much military materiel is there? Zhang Yun is clear......
As for the little intelligence cost spent for this, when Wang Xiaofei reported it, Zhang Yun didn't frown, since he wanted the horses to run fast, of course he had to give the horses grass.
As for the fact that the faces of Easterners and Westerners are different and it is difficult to buy, Zhang Yun never took it to heart at all, and he didn't even explain to Wang Xiaofei.
But the intelligence services are still very powerful...... Because Zhang Yun believes in the power of money, the reason why a person is not bought is simply because the price you offer is not high enough, if you pay a little higher......
And when Zhang Yun finally collected enough information and decided to continue to sell arms to the Taiping army, the two grass kings of the Taiping army were already waiting very anxiously near Kaifeng......
After getting the telegram that Zhang Yun was finally willing to let go and sell arms to himself, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng were ecstatic!
It's just that the number makes the two a little dissatisfied, after all, the two families are divided equally, and they can only get 50,000 rifles each.
Even if all the existing stocks are added, it is only possible to form a modern army of only 60,000 or 70,000 men...... As for the others, they still have to continue to carry spears and broadswords.
Originally, it was nothing to carry spears and broadswords, as long as everyone was like this, just like in the previous Hong Xiuquan era, the people in the Taiping Army, and even everyone in this country, didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but with comparison, there was harm!
Now, under the fierce fanning of Zhang Yun's little butterfly wings, who else is fighting with spears and broadswords among the forces of the whole country?
But at this time, the two of them couldn't care about anything else, so they seized the time to pull Zhuang Ding, and took the tens of thousands of people in the old army as the backbone......
Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng forcibly expanded their respective teams to more than 200,000 people, regardless of whether they had guns for their subordinates to use in the future, in short, they would pull up the team first.
When they finally finished expanding their army, Zhang Yun's arms finally entered Hunan, but at this time, the escort troops were ......
But he did not continue to the north, but waited for Jinyi Mountain in Yuezhou Mansion.
When it comes to escorting supplies, it is more convenient for cavalry troops, so Zhang Yun sent another telegram to Jin Yishan, who is still in Hubei.
After he sent the family members to the Yuezhou Mansion in Hunan, he took over the task of escorting the arms again, and sent more than 100,000 rifles, as well as matching bullets and bayonets as soon as possible...... Directly sent to Kaifeng and handed over to the Taiping army.
Of course, this task does not need to be urgent, although Zhang Yun does not know how much time it will take for the British warship to sail on the sea? To be able to send the arms to the capital?
But in terms of the turtle speed of the sail warships of this era, Jin Yishan, who is riding a war horse, can definitely throw them a few streets!
Therefore, Zhang Yun was not in the telegram, how to urge Jin Yishan......
Therefore, even if he has received a new task, Jin Yishan is still a good friend, and the main task at present is to make a good relationship with the future master first.
As for the Taiping Army, which is like a defeated dog, to send arms! You can postpone it a bit......
Of course, Jin Yishan didn't dare to go too far, and at this time he also consciously increased the speed of the march...... In the camp tent at night, Jin Yishan spread out the map, and after making a comparison.
Determined the direction of their location, it is Suizhou capital, from the map shows that as long as you cross Jingmen, you can reach Jingzhou, and when you arrive at Jingzhou and Yuezhou, there is only a Yangtze River!
"Hey......
After laughing obscenely, Jin Yishan put away the map, this kind of map can be used one less than one, very precious, if it falls into his hands, but he can't eat and walk around.
After carefully packing up the map, Jin Yishan went out again, and the other party asked for warmth, and at the same time, he inquired about Miss Fang's preferences, wanting to take advantage of the last journey to talk to the future housewife.
After all, if there is such an opportunity to directly contact the master mother in the future, it is impossible, time is pressing, and Jin Yishan is a little unscrupulous!
For Jin Yishan's behavior, Fang Yuanwai also felt very embarrassed, he couldn't afford to offend, and he couldn't shirk it!
In desperation, there was only emptiness and grievance, and Jin Yishan started Taijiquan......
Seeing that he had been entangled for a long time, but after not getting the information he wanted from outside the Fang Yuan, Jin Yishan immediately retreated!
"I can't deal with you an old fox, can't I deal with a little girl?"
Jin Yishan muttered such a sentence in his mouth, turned around and began to think of a way to collect the girl and the old mother next to Miss Buyer......
Although there has been little success so far, Jin Yishan does not want to give up, he has been cautious in Henan before, afraid that Li Hongzhang will come to make trouble, so he has not paid any attention to Miss Fang at all.
And now that he has finally arrived in Hubei, although it is still an enemy-occupied area, the latent force of the Patriotic Army in Hubei is very strong, so when he arrives here, Jin Yishan can also relax some of his heart.
Even from a certain point of view, if it weren't for the people in Hubei's official government, if it weren't for the patriotic army, he wouldn't even be able to gain a foothold here......
Coupled with Zhang Yun's call, Jin Yishan didn't have much time to pat himself!
After all, across Hubei Province, although it is said that the road is very long, but it is really walked, but it can't walk for many days.
ā¦ā¦
And when Jin Yishan came up with the kind of means of fighting, Miss Fang's various preferences and past were quickly put on his desk.
Jin Yishan was like a treasure, after seeing that it said that Miss Fang likes to eat pastries...... Jin Yishan immediately dispatched people and gathered several chefs to come over...... As for money, that's not a problem at all!
It's just that what makes Jin Yishan distressed is that he flipped through the entire map of Hubei, and in his own marching route, Suizhou to Jingmen to Jingzhou to Yuezhou...... On this route, there are no attractions that can be spoken?
As for the ancient city wall of Jingzhou and the like, Jin Yishan didn't think about it at all, how could a teenage girl like these?
ā¦ā¦
There is only the last Yueyang Tower!
However, do you want to let your subordinates invite your mother to visit Yueyang Tower together?
That's not how you look for death......
