Chapter 2 Uncle and Nephew
Wang Bin rode all the way to Wang Yingkai's house, and along the way, Wang Bin looked at the braids on the back of passers-by's heads and felt that he should do something.
The end of the modern Qing Dynasty was, in the words of later generations, an era of humiliation, and it always reminded Wang Bin that this was not the 21st century he grew up in before, but the last years of the Qing Dynasty.
In the emotion in his heart, Wang Bin came to Wang Yingkai's house.
After entering Wang Yingkai's mansion, Wang Bin asked a servant in the mansion
"May I ask Wang Yingkai, can Lord Wang be in the house?"
The servant glanced at Wang Bin and said
"It turned out to be the king's tube, and the master had already instructed the tube to bring it and go directly to the study to find him."
After hearing this, Wang Bin thanked the servant, and then went to the study.
Wang Bin pushed open the door of the study.
I saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man sitting at the desk, looking at the writing, Kong Luoyuan's beard at the corner of his mouth rose slightly, raised his head, and a pair of bright eyes were looking at him.
This person is Wang Yingkai, the first town wing commander of the Beiyang Standing Army, who is also a distant relative of Wang Bin.
Seeing Wang Yingkai looking at him, Wang Bin immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Wang"
"It turned out to be Youde, who else should I be, but I haven't seen you for a long time, come and come, come and sit quickly, why didn't you go to the camp today, but came to me?"
Wang Yingkai asked
"Uncle Wang, that's the case, I want to ask if there are any Makqin fast cannons in the army and armory." Wang Bin replied
"Makqin Quick Cannon?" Wang Yingkai was stunned for a moment, "Youde, why do you want that thing, it's heavy, it's not easy to use," Wang Yingkai asked
"That's the uncle, I've been thinking about it for the past few days, although it is troublesome to use this Makqin fast cannon, but its bullets hit quickly and violently on the battlefield, so it won't be many deaths." Wang Bin replied
"In this way, I remember that there are still a few in the library, so I'll allocate them to you, and I'll approve a note for you to get it later." Wang Yingkai thought for a while and said.
"Uncle Wang, I wonder if two Makqin fast cannons are not enough, can you get two more?" Wang Bin asked
"Get a few more, then you will have one more team in the second battalion," Wang Yingkai said in surprise
"Uncle, can't you think of a way for your nephew?" Wang Bin asked Wang Yingkai rhetorically, and Wang Yingkai pondered a little and replied
"That's it, I'll propose it to Lord Yuan and see if I can approve it."
"Then thank you Uncle Wang," Wang Bin thanked
"Also, Youde, I've heard that your second battalion has done a good job of training recently."
Wang Yingkai sighed with some relief, and at this time, he thought in his heart, although this Wang Bin is only a junior of his distant clan.
But he is the most motivated junior in the clan, and he is also the most promising in the clan, and it is estimated that only his younger brother Sun Chuanfang, the concubine, can compete with Wang Bin.
I can give Youde, a child, a good boost at the right time.
"Uncle Wang, don't praise me, I just feel that this usual exercise is too cumbersome, so I came up with this method with a flash of inspiration in my mind."
Wang Bin said with some embarrassment. But I didn't know that Wang Yingkai saw Wang Bin's modest performance, and even more thought that Wang Bin was a talent, and he was more determined to promote the younger generations of this clan.
"Youde, come to the old man's house tonight, and it happens that the old man is at home in the evening, and there are a few standard generals who come to visit the old man, you can also come over, just to introduce you." Wang Yingkai said suddenly
"Then the little nephew is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Wang Bin heard Wang Yingkai's invitation, thinking that this was the first time he had to contact his colleagues in the army since he crossed over, and this was a good opportunity to build relations, so Wang Bin hurriedly agreed.
After leaving Wang Yingkai's mansion, Wang Bin hurried to the camp and called a team of soldiers to go to the armory to get machine guns.
"My lord, this is the machine gun left in the warehouse."
After arriving at the armory, the soldier guarding the armory opened the armory and led Wang Bin to the place where the machine gun was stored, and said to Wang Bin.
Wang Bin looked at the ground, there were a bunch of guns placed very messily, and the air was filled with the smell of gun oil, and in the corner of the wall, Wang Bin saw four machine guns.
These two machine guns are almost the same as the pictures of the Makqin machine guns that Wang Bin saw on the Internet in later generations, and the only difference between the gun carriage and the gun body is that there is a small steel shield in front of the gun body.
Wang Bin touched the body of Makqin's gun and recalled the information about Makqin that he had seen on the Internet in later generations.
The Maxim machine gun was the world's first truly successful automatic weapon powered by gunpowder gas. Its caliber is 11. 43 mm, gun weight 27. 2 kg, with a barrel short recoil (19 mm) type automatic mode.
water-cooled barrel; The ammunition capacity used is 333 rounds6. The 4-meter-long canvas cartridge belt can be fed, the cartridge belt can be continued, the theoretical rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute, and it can be fired in single and continuous shots; It can also be adjusted to a slow rate of fire of 100 rounds per minute via the rate of fire regulator.
The Maxim machine gun has a complex structure, a water-cooled barrel is relatively bulky, and the reliability of the canvas cartridge belt deteriorates after being wet, but it has been widely used in modern warfare.
The first combat use of the Maxim heavy machine gun was in the 1893-1894 war between the British in Rhodesia in South and Central Africa and the local Mactabili-Sulus.
In one battle, a British unit of more than 50 men repelled dozens of charges by more than 5,000 Mactabillians with only four Maxim heavy machine guns, killing more than 3,000 people.
However, it was the First World War when the Germans killed 60,000 British soldiers in a single day in the battle of the Somme.
It became the deadliest in World War I.
Since then, the first teams have been equipped with Makqin heavy machine guns, and Makqin has become a well-known killing weapon.
Wang Bin recalled these materials about Makqin in his heart, and then sighed in his heart, it is a pity that such a sharp weapon is placed in the armory and destroyed the heavens, but fortunately, I am a traverser who cares about it.
Wang Bin touched the dusty gun, and then ordered the soldiers accompanying him to wipe off the dust and bring the machine gun back to the barracks.
After returning to the barracks, Wang Bin found a few members of the team and asked if there were any soldiers in the camp who could use machine guns.
Several teams were thinking about it for a moment.
At this time, the team leader of the second team said: "My lord, I do know that there is such a person, there is a veteran named Li Rong in the second team who has touched Makqin in the Huai Army before. ”
"Well, let's call Li Rong over first." Wang Bin said
After a while, a sturdy middle-aged man entered the camp
"You're Li Rong?" Wang Bin asked the middle-aged man
"It's Li Rong who is the one who returns to the pipe, and I don't know what the big man is doing to find the villain?" The middle-aged man asked with some uneasiness
"That's it, I heard that you used to use Makqin in the Huai Army?" Wang Bin asked the middle-aged man
At this time, Li Rong realized that he had come to harm for this matter, and he thought that he had made a mistake, and suddenly replied
"Back to the adult, when the villain was still in the Huai Army, he was a machine gunner, so he naturally made that Makqin fast cannon."
After receiving Li Rong's affirmative answer, Wang Bin said, "Li Rong, I have something to do with you." ”
"It's an honor for the little ones to be able to help the adults." Li Rong said with some trepidation
"I just got a few machine guns from the armory, but no one knows how to use them, I wonder how many machine gunners you might teach for my second battalion?"
"It's an honor for the villain to be able to contribute to the adults." Li Rong said with great trepidation
"By the way, there is one more thing, don't say a word when you see someone in the future, an adult's private everyone is commensurate with you and me, and there are not so many rules in the second camp."
Wang Bin said a little uncomfortable. But I'm thinking that since I arrived in this era, I can't get used to the strangeness of adults, adults, villains, and villains
"My lord, this can't make the villain dare to match you and me, this is really torturous for the villain." After Li Rong heard this, he immediately knelt down and said quickly
"Hey, why are you kneeling" Wang Bin saw Li Rong kneeling down and hurriedly pulled Li Rong up, a big man suddenly knelt in front of him, feeling weird
"I didn't let you do anything, didn't I just let you change your name, as for kneeling, hurry up, people who don't know still think I'm going to kill you."
Wang Bin said to Li Rong
"My lord, since the villain joined the army, I have never seen anyone so approachable to the adult, the villain is really frightened," Li Rong was pulled up from the ground by Wang Bin and said
Hearing Li Rong say this, Wang Bin remembered that when he was watching TV series before, it seemed that he was really like this, and the soldiers below saw that the people above were all adults, one grown, and one short
Wang Bin patted Li Rong with his hand and said: "Before it was, now it is now, in our second battalion, we don't have to be adults in the second battalion, we don't have to be so low in the second battalion, it's a man, you have to straighten your waist and stride forward." ”
"The lesson of the adults is that the villain has been in the army for many years, and he has never straightened his waist like today, and if the adult sends him in the future, the villain will die."
Li Rong said gratefully
"Why are you an adult and a villain, forget it, you go and get the machine gun done first, and remember not to stand up so much in the future."
Wang Bin said helplessly
"The villain will retire first." After speaking, Li Rong left the camp.
After Li Rong left, Wang Bin didn't feel right no matter how he thought about it, he obviously wanted Li Rong to change his name, but in the end, he accepted a loyal Xiaodi, could it be that this is the legendary Wang Ba's anger?
Wang Bin was thinking about the second team standing on the side, and said to himself
"My lord, you are really a royal being, and you have collected the hearts of the villain's subordinates with just a few words." "Okay, don't slap me here, what are you going to do when you go out, why are you going to a group of big men to crowd here." After speaking, the four teams ran out.
After coming out, Ma Zikai said to the other three teams: "I didn't expect adults to seem to talk less on weekdays, but they are so approachable in private." “
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hao on the side agreed: "Let's just follow Wang Guan and walk behind, since the adults are so approachable, then they will definitely not forget us in the future." "This is reasonable, but I have heard that our Wang Guandao is a distant relative of the Wing Elder Clan." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "It's really fake," Lin Hao and Ma Zikai asked in surprise. "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?" "No matter how much he does, I Xu Dajun is a rough man who can only fight, as long as Wang Guandao knows us, my Xu Dajun will follow behind Guanbi." Xu Dajun said
The four of them were fading away in the middle of the conversation, and it was the decision of the four of them that made the four of them go to the road of the glorious lintel in the future.
At this time, our Wang Daguan band still didn't know that he had been recognized by his subordinates so quickly, and at this time he was still thinking about what he should do at this moment, and he suddenly made a decision, and shouted, "Guard", "Here, what do you command?" “
"Follow me around the camp"
"Yes, my lord"
