With the training of the teaching team, Liang Hong finally has a team of officers who can be used. The www.biquge.info then announced on board the ship that the salaries of all those who were willing to be transferred to the garrison would be increased from five dollars a month to ten yuan a month. On board the Adventurer, there were 2,400 young and strong men, and more than 2,000 of them, except for those who were sick and seasick, who volunteered to become guards.

In accordance with the reorganization of the regular army, the original organization was completely dispersed, and the clan members of the same township were dispersed. The unit implements a four-four system, with 12 people in each squad, four squads as platoons and four platoons as companies. All personnel are organized into 10 companies, and the cadets of the teaching team serve as company platoon commanders.

After the reorganization, the ship's personnel also began to practice on a daily basis, and each unit was assigned to practice on the deck in a queue and aim with guns according to the schedule. Every morning, after the training team lectures, the officers return to the unit to organize drills and lectures. The lectures mainly focused on military appearance, military discipline, firearms, and common sense in battle.

On October 1, the national day of another world, the fleet passed through the choke point city of Singapore in the Straits of Malacca. The fleet made a brief stop in the harbor to replenish fresh water and coal, and Liang Hong also made the longest contact with the relay station on the shore. In two days' time, when the fleet sailed out of radio range, there would be a gap of nearly ten days before reaching Lorenço Marques, during which it would be impossible to communicate with any of the radios.

From time to time, the officer's command could be heard outside the porthole, and the soldiers on the deck were practicing in the whole team. In the room, Shen Yue was lying on the table translating messages, the sunlight shone through the porthole on the girl's slender neck, and the pinna of the ears was crystal clear in the light. Suddenly, Liang Hong saw the girl's delicate shoulders twitch slightly, and then raised his hand and wiped it on her eyes with the back of her hand. Crying? Who provoked her again, there was only herself in the room, although she had the thief's heart, but she hadn't acted on it yet.

"What's wrong?"

He walked over to the table and asked softly, and the girl lifted her teary-eyed little face and handed him the translated message. This is a news gathering from a local newspaper in Singapore, about the Manchu court killing the six gentlemen of Wuxu at Caishikou on September 28. A sentence in it was written by the girl in more eye-catching large characters, different from other Juanxiu handwriting, this text is strong through the pen, revealing the emotion of the writing at that time.

"The law changes in all countries are made from bloodshed, and today China has not heard of anyone who shed blood because of the law changes, and the reason why this country is not prosperous. Yes, please start with the same heirs. ”

This sentence was widely recited in later generations, and of course Liang Hong had heard of it, and Tan Sitong refused to flee and said goodbye to his friends.

"Are they heroes?" The girl asked, choked up.

"Of course, the generous and sad song, using his own blood to warn the world, is more worthy of praise than Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin."

Liang Hong's tone was also infected, and he softly recited the more widely circulated desperate poem.

"Look at the door and take pity on Zhang Jian, and endure death to wait for Dugan. I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun. ”

Although many scholars argue that this is a forgery, he prefers to believe that it is indeed in line with the tragedy of Tan Sitong's generosity.

"I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to save the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun. It's so heroic, you wrote this? The girl stared at him with teary eyes.

"No, it is said to be Tan Sitong's posthumous work before his arrest."

Liang Hong did not want to be vilely impersonated, "Their blood tells the world that the Manchus have completely decayed, and in the future, more people with lofty ideals will take up guns and bullets and devote themselves to overthrowing the Manchus by force." ”

There was another command outside the porthole, and the girl turned her head to look at the porthole, pointing and asking.

"Like them?"

"Why not? In the future, some people will contact the Hui Party, and some people will join the New Army, but their goal is the same, to restore China one by one. ”

"You train them for that?"

The girl was shiny and shiny, as if there were countless little stars in it.

"Maybe in a year or two, when China changes, and a well-equipped and well-trained army comes out, how long can the Manchus, who are rotten to the bone, hold out any longer?"

"Actually, you're a hero too," the girl blushed and whispered cowardly, "I can do without a salary." ”

The fleet sailed out of the Strait of Malacca, and on the ship Adventurer, Liang Hong also gathered the reorganized team to publicly pay tribute to the six gentlemen of Wuxu who were massacred by the Qing court.

"You are all from Shandong, and you are all victims of the Yellow River floods. But have you ever wondered why the flooding of the Yellow River could be controlled in the past, but in recent decades, the Yellow River has flooded almost every year? ”

Liang Hong stood in front of the dense line and spoke loudly, these teenagers were all from local civilian families, and they had little sensory knowledge of the imperial court and the six gentlemen who were killed. Therefore, he began his speech by talking about the flooding of the Yellow River, which was the pain of all present.

"Since the Manchus occupied the Han people, they were afraid that the possession of firearms by the Han people would offset the deterrent effect of the Eight Banners cavalry, so they forbade the army to be equipped with firearms, and the muskets and artillery were even lower than the level of the late Ming Dynasty 200 years ago. But the world is constantly advancing, and in distant Europe, firearms have been continuously improved, sharper guns have been made, and broadswords and spears have been completely eliminated. ”

In the same way, the Manchus were mainly landlubbers who rode and archery, so they set a policy of banning the sea, fearing that the Han people would flee to the sea and gather. Also in distant Europe, the whites sailed far away by boat, and continued to build more powerful ships, warships powered by machines and armed with hundreds of cannons. ”

"Fifty years ago, white men armed with sharp foreign guns and foreign cannons came in gunboats and easily defeated the army of the Manchu court. Since then, the imperial court has to pay compensation to foreigners every year, so the silver used to control the floods of the Yellow River has been misappropriated and deducted, and since then, the floods of the Yellow River have become more and more serious year by year, and the people of Shandong have been displaced almost every year. Did the imperial court really run out of money to repair the Yellow River? No, the Empress Dowager Cixi alone spent tens of millions of taels of silver on repairing the Summer Palace, which is more than the total investment in the management of the Yellow River for decades. In other words, in the eyes of the Manchurians, the life and death of millions of Han people on both sides of the Yellow River are not as important as a few flowers and plants in the Summer Palace. ”

"Are they all faint kings? No, in fact, there is a conspiracy in this, there are too many Han people, and they just take advantage of the flood to reduce the population. In the Horqin steppe of Mongolia, this reduction is done directly with a butcher's knife, killing all the men above the wheel. Imagine that rice in the south is only 2 yuan per stone, and millions of refugees can save their lives with only one million yuan, but why does the imperial court delay in allocating disaster relief money, and only use gruel that can count rice grains to make up the amount? This is actually reducing the number of people and starving them to death. ”

Such a rebellious rhetoric, if placed in the territory of the Qing Kingdom, is enough for the whole family to be copied and beheaded. But at this time, the teenagers below only have grief and indignation in their hearts, they have experienced the flooding of the Yellow River, which has flooded their homes and countless relatives. They drank gruel that could count the grains of rice, and it was difficult to even keep them half dead.

"Today, the six gentlemen of Wuxu who we want to pay tribute to are all Han Chinese, what did they do to be killed by the Manchus? They suggested to the emperor that the people should be rich and the country should be strengthened, factories should be opened, more products should be produced for the boss's surname, a Western-style army should be reorganized to resist foreign humiliation, and the country should have money to control the floods and relieve refugees. Then, they touched the most fundamental interests of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they could not let the Han people have more people, become richer, and have a strong army. ”

"They are the martyrs among the Han people, and they use their own blood to warn the world, and their hearts will be different if they are not of our race. If the country and the Han majority, the majority, are to be strong and prosperous, begging the Manchus to be merciful and reforming will not work at all. If we want the floods of the Yellow River to stop ravaging Shandong, and if we want to stop the hometown from being displaced, what should we do? ”

Liang Hong looked at the teenagers in front of him, many of them squirmed at the corners of their mouths, but they didn't make a sound.

"Overthrow the Manchus by force!" He was the first to shout out.

"Overthrow the Manchus by force."

Someone below followed suit.

"Think about your home that was swallowed up in the flood, think about your family members who were drowned and starved to death, what else is so terrible. When we train as a strong team, I will take you back to your homeland and sweep through the Eight Banners with machine guns and rifles in hand. Liang Hong was agitating, "Let's shout louder and overthrow the Manchus by force!" ”

"Overthrow the Manchus by force!"

A lot of people are shouting.

"Let's shout louder and overthrow the Manchus by force!" Liang Hong waved his fist to encourage.

"Overthrow the Manchus by force!"

This time everyone was shouting, and the voices were loud and passionate.
