Chapter 5: Soldiers First in Troubled Times (PS)

He Tianci was lying on the kang tossing and turning, his heart was full of longing for the future, and he was not worried about Zhang Xiluan's uncertain attitude, Zhang Xiluan obviously felt a trace of worry in today's conversation, he was afraid that in the future, things would be known to the Qing court, and he would not be able to keep his black gauze hat, and in this worry, He Tianci gradually lost consciousness.

He Tianci had a good dream this night, in which he heard someone calling him Generalissimo, and in the dream he became the real overlord of the "Siberian Tiger" on the snowfield...... In his dream, he finally pushed the wheel of history and made Chinese civilization stand on the top of the world's nations. ”

With a knock on the door of "knock, knock, knock", He Tianci's dream was ruined, and he only heard the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion shouting: "The sun is drying your buttocks, and you can't get up yet, Lord Zhang has asked you to talk about important things in the past"

As soon as he heard this, He Tianci suddenly came to his senses, quickly got up and tidied up, and then said to the housekeeper with a smile: "Say it immediately!" ”

He Tianci came all the way, and before meeting Zhang Xiluan, he tidied up his clothes, adjusted his breathing, and then slowly walked to the lobby.

At this time, Zhang Xiluan stood at the door looking a little anxious, and next to him stood an officer about thirty years old, wearing a bare sheepskin jacket and yellow tweed breeches.

After Zhang Xiluan saw He Tianci walk in, he took He Tianci's hand and said, "Huchen! But the old man is in a hurry, why did you come here. ”

He Tianci said apologetically: "Lord Hui, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I was a little tired last night, so I slept a little heavily." ”

"Oh, I see, come in, come, my lord wants to discuss with you"

Zhang Xiluan glanced at the officer beside him, stopped again, and then introduced to He Tianci in a positive manner: "This is the sentry commander Na Zhiwu, Manchuria is the yellow flag." ”

After a simple understanding, the two are officially acquainted! …… Dividing line

Next, for a few days, He Tianci will be called by Zhang Xiluan to discuss some things, He Tianci is also full of wisdom, many questions come to his mouth, all of them are the head of the analysis, and the most important thing is that a week has passed, this old Zhang's 'fire dragon' is really good, and he is very happy, so Zhang Xiluan also appreciates this young man who has stayed abroad, and he can see that this He Tianci is a material that can be made. After a few days of observation, he also let go of the last trace of precaution in his heart.

Of course, what is the way to get closer in this era? "Nepotism" relationship, how could Zhang Xiluan, who has been in officialdom for a long time, not know this truth, so he made up his mind to recognize He Tianci as a "righteous son"

Of course, as a second-class member of the border gate, it is not easy for Zhang Xiluan to accept a righteous son, and He Tianci is also eager to hug Zhang Xiluan's big tree, so all this is under Zhang Xiluan's control.

The next time, the genius was slightly bright, and Zhang Xiluan sent someone to find He Tianci.

After a while, Zhang Xiluan saw He Tianci walk in, and immediately got up and came forward, holding the latter's hand while saying, "Huchen! The old man has a request, I don't know if you can agree? You don't have any relatives now, and the old man likes you a lot, if you don't mind the old man, I'll take you as a righteous son, what do you think?"

He Tianci was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't show it, but quickly knelt down for Zhang Xiluan, kowtowing loudly, and shouting loudly: "Father-in-law, please bow to the child." ”

Then Zhang Xiluan said while pulling He Tianci up: "As for the matter of Lao Maozi, the old man thought carefully all night last night and decided to form a battalion of people, what do you think?"

He Tianci smiled and said: "Since the father-in-law already has a fixed fortune in his belly, why bother to test the child?" ”

Zhang Xiluan nodded with satisfaction, the righteous father and son looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Xiluan smiled and said: "Since you also agree, then go to be an infantry battalion management band (battalion commander), although it is a grievance, but it is also a good place for training, there are not many soldiers around me who have retired from Mukden, and there is a sentry with a strength of exactly 100 people, you are also familiar with this Zhiwu, so appoint him a gang (deputy battalion commander) What do you think?"

When He Tianci heard it, he didn't expect that he had just come to the Qing Dynasty not only to have a place to stay, but also to climb the big tree of Zhang Xiluan, in today's words, it is to hug the thighs, but he knows that Zhang Xiluan is a real power figure in the late Qing Dynasty or the early Republic of China, especially this Zhang Xiluan is his own "godfather", when he mentions the word godfather, and then thinks of the beautiful incident that exploded in the previous paragraph, He Tianci's heart is churning, the godfather in this era is not the privilege of women such as Meimei, and he also has power!

This is about to become a pipe band, this is the battalion commander, he said that he has a foundation for galloping the world! Then he nodded with satisfaction, and said respectfully: "Thank you father-in-law, the child will definitely do the work of the dog's horsepower, and he will die after doing his best." ”

Zhang Xiluan continued: "Give you a battalion of 500 people, and the rest of the 400 people, you can recruit troops in our nearby Zhen'an County, and I also wrote a letter to the Russian, saying that I will come to meet you in the afternoon, and when you get the weapons and funds, you will immediately go to the vicinity of Zhen'an to recruit troops." ”

He Tianci walked over to Zhang Xiluan and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, the child will serve his father-in-law and serve the dogs and horses."

After noon, a four-wheeled Russian-style horse-drawn wagon with a long body ran outside the door of Zhangfu, the things on the car were covered with felt cloth, there were several Russian men in the car, and the Russians sitting side by side with slave hands in front of the car were dressed as gentlemen, and their figure was not very tall, and the special feature was a slightly raised mustache.

Na Zhiwu stopped the Russian carriage and shouted, "What are you Russians doing here?" ”

The Russian spoke in an authentic northeastern accent and said, "What are you doing?" This ga-belt is a neutral zone, he said that he instinctively came, and my Russian empire couldn't come?

Na Zhiwu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this old Maozi speak fluent Northeast dialect: "What are you talking about, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, why are you here?"

The Russian said: "I came to find He Tianci." ”

That Zhiwu said "oops": "He Tianci or your name?" We, Lord He, will see you when you say it, and tell me anything in advance. ”

The Russian said: "The things in my car were given to He Tianci, and I can pull them back if I can't see He Tianci." Do you think you deserve home? Do you do it? ”

Na Zhiwu uncovered a corner of the felt cloth, and after reading it, he hurriedly ran to inform He Tianci and whispered to He Tianci. He Tianci motioned for him to call the Russian car into the hospital, and then the two came to the Russian taxi together.

At first glance, this Russian is really good-looking, with a high nose bridge, long facial hair, and a hairy monkey, which is very different from the Russians I have seen in my previous life. muttered in his heart, but his face remained the same, He Tianci stretched out his hand to uncover the things in the car, and his eyes lit up, compared to these hairy monkeys, he preferred these real guys in the car.

He Tianci uncovered the things on the taxi, the car was loaded with two Maxin machine guns and several large boxes of Russian Bedan No. 2 rifles, as well as several bundles of Russian military uniforms, although at this time Mosin-Nagant (Shui Lianzhu) had been equipped in the Russian army, but because Russia focused its strategic focus on the European part, the Bedan No. 2 rifle still accounted for a large proportion of the Russian troops.

Although the Bedan No. 2 rifle cannot be compared with Mosin-Nagant, and the Bedan No. 2 rifle is still in the single-shot stage, it is good to have a gun in its current form.

The Mosin-Nagant was one of the first small-caliber (for its time) military rifles with smokeless propellants, and compared to other contemporaneous military rifles such as the Mauser and Lee Enfield series, the Mosin-Nagant rifle had a more complex bolt design, a crude and outdated design, and an overall clumsy feel to the workmanship. But the advantage of the Mosin-Nagant rifle is that it is easy to produce and easy to use, and it is extremely reliable - which is extremely important compared to the low industrial base and low education of the soldiers, especially in times of war when there is an urgent need to increase the production of weapons to meet the needs of the front, and the large number of fighters often has insufficient training time.

In terms of combat capabilities, the Mosin-Nagant rifle is also not much different from its contemporaries, with an effective range of 400 meters, 800 meters with the assistance of a scope, and a practical rate of fire of 10 to 12 rounds a minute. Although the Mauser Kar98K had a high accuracy of shooting, it did not have an advantage in real combat. The SVT rifle is actually a good semi-automatic rifle, the so-called complex structure and reliability are only relative to Mosin-Nagant, and the SVT shoots accurately and comfortably, these advantages are confirmed in those enemies who like SVT rifles - the German soldiers who captured SVT, but at that time for most recruit fighters, the SVT rifle was indeed "complicated", so it could not replace the position of the Mosin-Nagant rifle under the conditions at that time, if the SVT was born in the United States, Maybe the results will be very different. All in all, the Mosin-Nagant rifle is a very typical Russian-made light weapon -- cheap, simple, and reliable, and He Tianci believes that this era is undoubtedly the most suitable for the actual needs of the Chinese [***] team.

Therefore, I must seize the opportunity of the Russo-Russian war to defeat both sides, so that I can get the greatest advantage for myself, and strive to get more Mosin-Nagant rifles, so that I can equip myself with weapons in the future.

At this time, the Russian had already introduced himself to He Tianci, and shouted loudly with a northeastern accent: "I am the intelligence officer of the Russian Far East Intelligence Bureau in charge of the western Liaoning region, my name is Madmaddorf, and I am a colonel of the Russian army." He Tianci pretended to be very happy and invited Colonel Madrid Dorf into the chamber.

Since Zhang Xiluan had just arrived in Jinzhou Mansion, he arranged the conference hall in an old house, which was a very simple house with a desk and a chair.

In the conference hall, He Tianci and Colonel Madrid Daoff laughed one by one, He Tianci felt that this old man was quite conscious, so he said to him: "I have never heard the Russians speak so well in Chinese!"

Madrid Dolph laughed and grinned: "Lord He doesn't know me, my nickname is "Manchurian Tong", I was born in Vladivostok and grew up in Harbin. I have it in my heart about the quack of Manchuria. ”

He Tianci said "um", and felt that it was time to get to the point, so he asked solemnly: "I don't know what advice Colonel Madriddorf came to give me?" ”

Madmaddorf said: "The contemptible person was sent by Commander Batkin to visit Lord He, just to be a friend. Lord He, you don't know, in the green forest, in the township group, my friend thief (Northeast dialect special consciousness) more Xu Fusheng, Liu Danzi, Li Hanchen. There's also 'Curly Beast Tiezi Lin Qi' - you know? That's my iron buddy, and I appointed him as the 'Commander of the Deep Forest'. As the manager, this wood has an old nose! How much money do you have to make? Ho, do you want to do it all the time? ”
