Chapter 8 The beginning of the road to prosperity
Not long after the military exercise, Wang Bin received a letter of appointment, because the problem of bandits in Shengjing was becoming more and more serious, and it was unfavorable for the patrol battalion to suppress bandits, he drew part of the military strength from the first town of the Beiyang Standing Army and organized it into the first mixed association, under the jurisdiction of three battalions of infantry, one battalion of artillery, and one battalion of cavalry, totaling more than 4,000 people, stationed in Jinzhou to suppress the bandits.
Wang Bin held the position of commander, and the officers required by the First Mixed Association were all transferred from the first town of the Beiyang Standing Army.
When Yuan Shikai first proposed this appointment, the DPRK and China were in an uproar, and they were even opposed by Tie Liang and others.
In the end, the appointment was approved with the support of the Minister of Military Aircraft.
For this promotion, it can be called the fastest person in the Beiyang Army since its establishment, even if it is the establishment of the First Mixed Association, there are many people who oppose it in the DPRK and China, and in the end, it was Wang Yingkai and Yuan Shikai who strongly recommended that they were able to form the First Mixed Association.
Even in the Beiyang Army, there were a lot of micro-criticisms about Wang Bin's allocation, but in view of the fact that it was his own people, and it was Wang Yingkai, the old Beiyang, who proposed it, and was supported by Lord Yuan, the micro-words of the Beiyang armies were suppressed.
At this time, the media at home and abroad also rushed to report about Wang Bin's rapid promotion.
But more attention is paid to the intention of the newly established First Mixed Association to enter Jinzhou at a time when relations between Japan and Russia are so tense.
Later Yuan Shikai never sent any troops to Liaodong.
Even if the troops were dispatched, they only ordered Wang Yingkai to lead the second town to enter Shanhaiguan, and did not mean to enter the pass.
After receiving the letter of appointment, Wang Bin hurriedly went to Wang Yingkai's house and asked Wang Yingkai what bids he was going to assign to him.
It's just that I don't know how many grassroots officers Uncle Wang will assign to enrich himself and mix the association.
"This matter, the old man has already helped you think about it, but it can't help too much, I'm afraid that the second town will also go to Shanhaiguan in the near future, for the establishment of your first mixed association, the old man can only help you build a shelf first, as for the following candidates, you have to Youde yourself, the problem of this soldier, the old man has drawn two battalions of infantry and a battalion of artillery and a battalion of cavalry from the second town to you, but this artillery can only be allocated to you."
Wang Yingkai comforted Wang Bin
"Anyway, Uncle Wang's difficulties, the little nephew also knows, and the little nephew has thanked Uncle Wang for his support here."
Although Wang Bin was a little disappointed, he still opened his mouth to thank him.
"Now the situation in the northeast is like fire and water, Japan and Russia are only afraid of imminent war under the promotion of the British, and many people in the imperial court are worried so they want to send troops to maintain the situation and suppress the bandits, so the first mixed association was established." Wang Yingkai added
"I don't know when the little nephew should be pulled."
Wang Bin didn't know anything about the doorway in this officialdom, so he could only ask Wang Yingkai
"Don't be in a hurry in advance of this pull-out, this Liaodong is not your own why are you in such a hurry, you put the matter of the pull-out first, and drag it out for a few days under the pretext that the armament in the army is not complete, and the grain and grass are insufficient, and the group of spectators in the court will allocate a little silver taels when the old man plays the court."
Wang Yingkai taught Wang Bin the doorway at this time.
After listening to this, Wang Bin said in his heart, isn't this the so-called opening fee, don't do this for nothing, anyway, if you don't pay for it yourself, then listen to Uncle Wang's words and drag him for a few days.
Wang Yingkai looked at Wang Bin's performance at this time, and his heart was teachable
"Youde, these days, you can put your association in order, put up the shelves first, and then go to Liaodong after the opening fee is down."
Regarding Wang Yingkai's words, Wang Bin nodded.
After listening, Wang Bin replied: "The little nephew obeys Uncle Wang's orders."
After Wang Bin left Wang Yingkai's house, he thought about it all the way.
After the establishment of this association, it doesn't matter if there is a lack of ordnance, the key is that there are few people.
Wang Yingkai agreed to replenish himself with two battalions of infantry, one battalion of cavalry and one battalion of artillery, artillery and guns, and it would not be a problem to copy it when the time came.
As for the officer Wang Bin, he decided to bring up Lin Hao, Ma Zikai, Gu Chen, and Xu Dajun first, and the other officer Wang Bin had to ask for it through Wang Yingkai.
When he returned to the door, Wang Bin found that Ma Zikai and the four were waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw Ma Zikai and the four Wang Bin knew why they came.
Wang Bin beckoned Ma Zikai and the four of them to come into the house and sit down, and Ma Zikai, Lin Hao, and Gu Chen kept looking at Xu Dajun for two minutes.
Xu Dajun's scalp was numb, and in desperation, Xu Dajun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "My lord, I, Xu Dajun is a rough person, I can't speak, and I have always been straightforward, we are here today to ask how the adults are going to settle us after the establishment of the First Association." “
After finishing speaking, Xu Dajun's face was flushed and he pit his head down.
Wang Bin knew that Xu Dajun had always been honest and honest, so he could let Xu Dajun speak like this, and it was estimated that Lin Hao and others taught Xu Dajun to say such things today.
Wang Bin also knew that Ma Zikai and the four were the first to follow his subordinates, and this time they formed the first mixed association, and there would definitely be their place, but they were a little uncertain at this time.
Wang Bin asked, "Are you here today worried that this No. 1 Association will not have a place for you?" “
"Your Lord, you're laughing, we're just here to ask today." Lin Hao said with some uneasiness at this time
Wang Bin glanced at Ma Zikai and the others, although they looked flat, Wang Bin could still see the desire for promotion from their eyes, and everyone hoped that they would be one of them. "Okay, don't put on this picture, the officers of this association have not yet been decided, but this association will definitely have a place for you." Wang Bin looked at the expressions of Ma Zikai and the others and comforted.
After Wang Bin finished speaking, Ma Zikai hurriedly stood up
"My lord, I, Ma Zikai, have long said in private that adults will not forget us, but Lin Hao, although they also think so, but they are always a little uncomfortable not to get the affirmation of adults, a few days since we have been approved by adults, if you send a humble duty in the future, you will definitely die."
After Ma Zikai finished speaking, Lin Hao, Xu Dajun, and Gu Chen also said that they would serve the adults in the future.
After Wang Bin sent Ma Zikai and the others away, he thought that from today on, Ma Zikai and the others are his descendants, although they were regarded as their own people in the past, but he had no favor for the four of them, and there was no real trust in them, and now Wang Bin had the grace to promote the four of them, so he could be regarded as having their loyalty.
In the future, the four of them can truly be called their own people.
After sending Ma Zikai and the others away, Wang Bin pondered that since this subordinate had an artillery battalion. It's better to go to the artillery camp first and see what guns there are, and copy them by the way.
After coming to the artillery camp, Wang Bin didn't say anything to Wang Bin and went straight to the eight cannons, but the soldiers in charge of guarding the cannons didn't stop Wang Bin.
This is not surprising, who in the entire two towns does not know that the current Wang Bin is not only the celebrity in front of Governor Yuan, but also the nephew of their top boss Wang Yingkai, coupled with the establishment of the Mixed First Association not long ago, Wang Bin has become the first mixed Association.
It quickly completed the turn in the army, creating the fastest speed of promotion since the establishment of the army in Beiyang.
Wang Bin's name began to spread among the Beiyang armies.
Wang Bin stroked the cannon with both hands, completely ignoring the eyes of others, as if caressing the skin of his lover, while the soldiers who saw this scene on the side were talking about it.
"This, Commander Wang won't be promoted to a big hair, why is he touching the cannon there, is it difficult to think of a shot?" Soldier A said
"I don't think so, I wonder if it will be like Fan Jin who is happy and sad when he hears the news of this promotion?" Cannon Fodder B, who was standing aside, said
"Well, I think you might wake up the Commander with a slap in the face, and then you'll be so grateful to the Commander that you'll be thriving from now on." Soldier B said.
After a while, Wang Bin left with a normal expression, leaving only the soldiers who were still talking
At this moment, Wang Bin was walking on the way home, and after arriving home, Wang Bin began to look like in his mind.
At this time, the two cannons in Wang Bin's mind were already being shaped under the silver-white coil.
After a cup of tea, the two cannons were completely finalized.
And Wang Bin's mind began to cross a piece of data: the M1897 75mm field gun, also known as the 75ABS1897 field gun, is the world's earliest elastic artillery mount artillery. Its rate of fire, firing accuracy and maneuverability are significantly higher than those of the same caliber artillery with a rigid gun mount structure.
It is used to provide fire support to field troops.
Caliber: 75 mm
Total weight: 1,190 kg
Barrel length: 2,700 mm
Maximum range: 8,000 meters
Muzzle velocity: 575 m/s

M1893 Grusen 57mm field gun
The body weighs 155 kg
The gun carriage weighed 172 kg
The total weight is 550 kg
The length of the tube is 1425 mm
The grenade weighs 2. 7 kg
Muzzle velocity 330 m/s
The maximum firing range is 5500 meters

In Wang Bin's eyes, these artillery pieces can now be regarded as the main artillery of the Beiyang Army.
It's just a pity that these guns are all cannons and not tube guns, but although they are cannons, I can't do it if I have a golden finger, I use quantity to despise your quality.
