Chapter 126 Eighty-one Edition Assassination Sect

Although Governor Lu Mei did not preside over the meeting, he announced an important resolution on behalf of the French Cabinet, in view of the great mistake made by the French Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Bao Hai, in signing the "Sino-French and Vietnamese Peace Treaty", which made the French team lose the opportunity and time to seize the entire territory of Vietnam, so it was decided to remove Bao Hai from the post of Minister to China, and ordered him to return to China.

Finally, Governor Lu Mei's natural practice xìng blessed the Far East Navy to achieve such a great victory as Hue last time! In the war to capture Hue, although the French lost hundreds of soldiers and were knocked out of two thousand-ton light cruisers by the raid of Xu Shoushan, they ...... The looting of the royal palaces of Vietnam is absolutely dazzling, with gold and silver alone worth more than 4oo taels, as well as a huge number of works of art, which is definitely worth a lot.

In the past six months, France has mobilized 7 warships and 8,000 soldiers from Africa and the mainland, including 5ooo black African soldiers, and now the garrison in Jiaozhichina has reached 31ooo, and the army stationed on the front line has exceeded 18,000 troops, and the army is now stationed in the Sang Nu area south of Hanoi, Vietnam, ready to go up the Red River and attack Shanxi upstream.

Attacking along the Red River was a regular way to attack Vietnam in the past, but considering the restrictions on the transport ships on the Red River, each time the garrison was defeated by the Vietnamese army because the ships left and the garrison could not get the support of the follow-up troops, so this attack, Gu Ba redesigned the offensive route.

A large military map of Jiao Toe China was hung up, Gu Ba came to the front of the map, pointed to the location of Zigong on the map with a wooden bang, and then drew a long arc and pointed directly to Hai Phong City, an important coastal town in Vietnam, above the map, "Jiao Toe China Far East Navy has completed the assembly within a week, and the first fleet of the Atarante ironclad ship, the second-class cruiser Duju Tuluin, and the light cruiser Reconnaissance have set sail secretly, and they can cruise to Haiphong within five days, immediately occupy it completely, and establish a defensive fortress!" ”

Hearing this news, the officers below immediately became excited, it was obvious that their days of idleness in Zigong Port were coming to an end, Gu Ba pressed the command, the conference room calmed down again, he pointed to a tall and sturdy French 6th Army officer sitting under him, the officer immediately got up and gave a military salute to the other naval officers!

"This is Colonel Livry of the French 6th Army, the task of the Navy this time is to completely occupy Haiphong City, the ground advance is commanded by Colonel Livery, and after the First Fleet occupies Haiphong City, it will immediately be transported by merchant ships to the 6th Army to board the 6th Haiphong! Next, I will assign the tasks of each fleet one by one......"

The detailed battle plan was quickly laid out, and when Gu Ba returned to the fleet headquarters, Staff Officer Sean had already sent the latest news: "General, the news from Hue that the fleet of the Qing Nanyang Naval Division has left this morning, and its whereabouts are unknown!" ”

This news obviously made Gu Ba puzzled, the First Fleet had just come out early this morning, and it was so coincidental that the fleet of the Nanyang Naval Division also left Hue Port at the same time......

"Sean, is there any update on the investigation of the Nanyang Naval Division? I can't rest assured about the news coming from Beijing! "Guba obviously still has a shadow for the last naval battle, and the French have not been idle in the past six months, and have spied on the intelligence of the Nanyang Naval Division from various channels, but the information they have received is very limited.

The French intelligence officer boarded the 5O1 ironclad ship during the military exercise of the Chinese Navy in Tianjin, and naturally there were some gaps in artillery, and the caliber and diameter of the opponent's guns were better than the three Lagazonian-class ironclad ships of the French Navy in service, but they also showed another situation, and the battleship was not equipped with small-caliber guns...... Other than that, there was no news from the French again.

But these can't explain the other party's brave expression in that encounter, as a commander with 3o years of modern naval experience, the stage of the solitary experience is the period of the greatest change in the world's navy, from the wooden hull battleship to the steel battleship, he naturally understands that to achieve the other side's kind of artillery bombardment, especially the salvo in the last 5 rounds of 4, which is absolutely in addition to luck, there must be more important factors.

Staff Officer Colonel Sean is also an old qualified fleet commander, so he naturally understands the crux of Gu Ba's worries, "General, I really can't get updated news, but we still have some clues in Hue!" ”

"Oh...... What clues? Guba asked impatiently. ,

"An army stationed in Hue now, according to the news, should be the 6th Army that fought with our army when Hue last captured Hue, and it should be the 6th Squadron under the Nanyang Naval Division, and now the number of the declared number is the 3rd Battalion, and the soldiers are more than 1ooo people, and they have some weapons that can be very high!"

"Oh, it looks like this Nanyang sailor does have a very strong industrial background!" Gu Ba pondered for a moment and sighed, "Sean, this fleet of the South Seas Naval Division is really a nightmare, we must annihilate them all at any cost!" ”

"General, I think the strength of this Nanyang Naval Division is actually very limited, and it is only by relying on that outstanding ironclad ship that we have won part of the initiative, in terms of overall strength, we are fully capable of annihilating the other party, what we need is a chance to encircle and annihilate!"

Both of them felt the same way about this, and they discussed secretly for a long time before they came up with a plan that felt good! ――

In Shanxi, Vietnam, in the house of Liu Yongfu of the Black Flag Army, seven or eight officers were surrounding Yang Zhusi, the commander of the left battalion, and Yang Zhusi was holding a thick envelope in his hand and dividing it with the words "Old Wu of the right battalion!" The former camp Huang Shouzhong's ......"

Wu Fengdian, the commander of the right battalion on the side, happily held the envelope and grabbed the military advisor Hou Xian who was walking by, "Hou Junshi, you can read and hyphenate, look at the letter my son wrote to me!" MD, Lao Tzu is still illiterate, this stinky boy can write! ”

Hou Xian also had no choice but to take it, and saw that the envelope was crookedly written, "Father Wu Fengdian personally opened!" "A few words, this old Wu's son was twelve years old when he was sent to Fuzhou, and he was virtuous with his father, and he didn't know a single big word, but he didn't expect to be able to write such a crooked word in a few months!

He was born as a scholar, although he looked down on these crooked words in his heart, considering that he would not attack Wu Fengdian, who was born as a peasant, he still opened his mouth and praised two sentences: "Old Wu, your son is better than you!" In the future, I can't say that I will be able to title the gold list! ”

"Mr. Xie Hou's auspicious words," Wu Fengdian laughed, "Hurry up and read it with me, what is the stinky boy writing in it?" ”

Hou Xian opened it to take a look, but it was Lao Wu's mother-in-law who brought it, it was all a short matter of the family, and the Mawei Shipmaster gave him a house, with three rooms before and after, and a large courtyard...... In the past, the old neighbors took special care of living together, and it was very convenient to enter Fuzhou City, and the shipping master arranged a big car to pick up and drop off every day......

The eldest son Wu Dali and the second son Wu Xiaoli are now studying in Mengxue, the son of the ship master, and they don't need money to eat every day, and they also subsidize two taels of silver a month...... The steward of the shipmaster came to ask, if she wanted, she could go to the textile factory under the shipmaster to do something, and she could get 4 taels of silver per month.

After hearing this, Wu Fengdian couldn't help but voice: "A woman's family can earn 4 taels a month, and my old Wu is working hard with the French on the front line, and the military salary is only 15 taels!" Lord Qin Cha treats us really well! ”

After Hou Xian read this letter, his heart beat wildly, this Lord Qin's method is really powerful, moisturizing things silently, isn't it this method, after a few months, this Black Flag Army has returned to his heart from bottom to top, but he can arrange these thousands of people properly, this means, the strength behind this, is not something he can imagine.

He flipped through the letters opened in the hands of several officers, and most of them were similar, anyway, every family had a house, but there was no land, but a family with labor a month had an income of ten taels or eight taels, and a woman without labor could easily earn four taels or three taels, plus the subsidy from the ship master, this day can be regarded as a small wealth.

He thought about it for a while, and ran to see Liu Yongfu, as the military advisor of the Black Chess Army, he felt obliged to talk about this matter to Lord Liu, but when he arrived at Liu Yongfu, he saw that Zhou Ruidong had already come, and at the same time he heard the news of the explosion...... War is imminent!

When the news arrived, Zhou Ruidong was still busy training the Black Flag Army, and after getting along during this time, although he was still wary of Liu Yongfu, although he didn't know why the instructor was so relieved to recruit this army, but he still implemented his plan in a down-to-earth manner.

The renovation of the two forts in Shanxi City has been completed, the old smoothbore guns are still retained, and 8 rear-mounted 15omm guns have been added from the new, using the gun profile design on the battleship, these guns show their combat power, so that Liu Yongfu who came to visit was dumbfounded, you must know that their guns are also captured French goods, but this power is okay, that is, this shot is slow to death, and there are often accidents. ,

This can't be blamed on them, the gunners in the Black Flag Army still went to the Vietnamese to dig up and teach, and those Vietnamese gunners have not fired for a few years, although they know some artillery, but most of the things they teach are covered by themselves, and it is not difficult to understand the poor level of the apprentices who came out of this jiao.

Liu Yongfu was most surprised by the shooting accuracy of the artillery of the First Battalion, which could hit a fixed target with two to three artillery pieces under normal circumstances, and the shooting skills displayed by these nurses and soldiers, he and his officers pondered for a long time and could not figure it out......

Soon, Liu Yongfu figured it out, the matter of this artillery was guarded by Jiao, and dozens of cannons on his own may not be as good as the hits of a few cannons.

Zhou Ruidong had already sent nearly 1oo soldiers to serve as instructors in each battalion of the Black Flag Army, which was of course in the case of communicating with Liu Yongfu, and let Liu Yongfu and his officers fully agree to implement this instructor training plan.

In addition, the military instructors of Ancha to each battalion do show first-class strength, these veterans of the Black Flag Army have all been on the battlefield with real knives and guns, and they were originally a little disdainful of these nurse soldiers to serve as instructors, but seeing these new instructors, don't look at their young age, this training is unyieldingly diligent, but it is also a little more agreeable.

Lu Yong, a battalion and a sentry, is a Chinese son of Haiphong, Zhou Ruidong joined the army when Haiphong was engaged in mutual masonry, because of his hard work, and Wu Xìng was not bad, he was soon promoted to the captain of the squad, which was arranged from the time he was assigned to the army of Yang Zhusi in the left battalion as the captain of the training instructor team.

Before leaving, Zhou Ruidong talked to them one by one, and repeatedly warned Lu Yong to keep in mind the discipline of the army, after going, the first thing to focus on is training, and in terms of military discipline, you can discuss with the commander of the Black Flag Army, any form of behavior that undermines unity is prohibited, even if you are reasonable, you are not allowed to live!

As the captain of the instructor team, Lu Yong naturally asked, if there is a special situation, it leads to a dispute? As a result, he was smashed back by Zhou Ruidong's words: "Disputes? If there is a problem, I will send you back to Fangcheng County immediately, where there has been a shortage of manpower to manage local security, so think about it if you want to go! ”

Yang Zhusi didn't have any opinion on sending instructors, but the officers under him did have some ideas, after Lu Yong came, Lao Yang also specially held an officer meeting to arrange this training, but when the new instructors went down to the various posts to arrange training, there was still a lot of resistance, those veterans didn't care about these queues of cao training, and the sentry officers and sentry commanders also despised these trainings.

In fact, Lao Yang was also quite disdainful of this training, but when he saw the military appearance of the guard, he was also shocked, so he personally went down to the sentinels to ask the sentinels and sentinel commanders to fully cooperate, and personally squatted to watch the field, this queue training was carried out, but these veterans did not shout when they practiced...... Yang Zhusi pretended to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't hear it.

However, the veteran oilers immediately changed their tactics, hoping to find the field from the individual soldier technique, but in terms of shooting, although Lu Yong is only a recruit for more than a year, Qin Kai has always been sparing bullets in shooting training, and in strict accordance with the regulations, each soldier must complete 12o bullets of live ammunition practice every year, so this shooting level is not comparable to these Black Flag troops who have just played new rifles.

So the veterans picked up another training project - rifle assassination, which is also a special training item according to Qin Kai's requirements, although with the increase of rifle firepower, the opportunity to fight bayonets is becoming less and less, but face-to-face battles will always be stored on the battlefield, and the assassination training of the protector is Qin Kai's inheritance of the assassination essentials of the later iron army, based on the "eighty-one version of the assassination teaching" archived in the light brain.

White-knuckle combat is an extremely brutal battle, generally speaking, the casualty rate of both sides is basically 1:1, which not only requires soldiers to have good assassination skills, but also to have a strong psychological endurance, that is, to stabilize the psychological element, and this is one of the reasons why Qin Kai must strengthen training in this area.

It's just that...... In this regard, in fact, Qin Kai, the initiator, is also a layman, how much the students who can learn and how much they can learn depends on their talent, and it is inevitable that there will be more technical out-of-shape, this Lu Yong's assassination technique evaluation is at least at the level of excellence, but compared with the Black Flag Army, which used to use close-quarters fighting as the main magic weapon to win, it is a tender vegetable! ,

As a result, in the assassination technique competition, the enemy of being an instructor is not as good as being a student, and now the veterans of the Black Flag Army are shaking, and the commander of the left battalion, Yang Zhusi, is silent, and he also wants to see the actions of this protection, after all, this is a matter of the face of the Black Flag Army. Of course, Lu Yong was not convinced, if the victory or defeat was slightly less than 1:1, they could still understand that the problem was that when they competed with the Black Flag Army, it turned out to be a failure rate of 5:1 and 6:1.

Zhou Ruidong is naturally very concerned about this matter, he knows that the assassination technique taught by the instructor is detailed, and the instructor is not good at this technique, but he can explain this assassination technique so thoroughly, and can decompose the bayonet technique into basic movements, he is already very admired, he has a lot of experience with people on weekdays, and the more he practices, the more he feels the practicality of this technique!

Hearing that the recruits under his command were deflated, he naturally wanted him, the boss, to come out, and immediately ordered seven or eight good players in the pro-soldier team to come to the left camp together.

Now the veterans finally have a new understanding of this assassination technique, these soldiers on the opposite side turn over and over with just a few assassination techniques, but they can also fight to the death with some kung fu masters on their side, obviously this assassination technique is still very effective, Yang Zhusi just ran out to play a round, but Zhou Ruidong also immediately proposed, asking these Black Flag Army experts who are proficient in kung fu to assist the instructors to improve the movements of this assassination technique!

This incident played a very good role in the process of reorganizing the Black Flag Army, Zhou Ruidong seized the opportunity to carry out the military training of the guard, and at the same time excavated the combat characteristics of the Black Flag Army that dared to fight, although the time of the reorganization training was not long, but the effect was very obvious, which made the officers of the Black Flag Army also surprised.

As a reinforcement of the Black Flag Army, Zhou Ruidong once again transported a batch of rifles from the Zhiling Fortress, this time they were all genuine Ako2 rifles produced by Mawei Shipmaster 8oo, plus the original various rifles and muskets of the Black Flag Army, and the musket equipment rate of the Black Flag Army also exceeded 5%.

At this time, the Mawei shipping company that went to the Philippines to trade goods brought back good news!
