The war horses are very good, but limited by the current progress of the army's weapons technology, the weapons of these cavalry are really not very good, Li Hui can only provide them with single-shot rifles, sabers, revolvers and grenades, and it is okay to deal with the poorly equipped ordinary bandits in group training, once they encounter the elite Qing army equipped with foreign guns and cannons and some special "regimental training" that are actually regular troops, they will not have any advantage in weapons and equipment.

However, this is not dead and there is no benefit, if these biochemical soldiers can still beat the Qing army all over the ground without the advantage of weapons and equipment, it will fully prove that their combat power is indeed strong, and then Li Hui can boldly send them reinforcements and send them all kinds of newly developed advanced weapons.

Considering that the cavalry must reach a certain number to show its power, and at the same time, the size of the sample can also reduce the impact of luck on the results, so even if his heart is very painful, Li Hui still gritted his teeth and recruited 80 cavalry in one go, which is almost the establishment of two cavalry platoons.

Considering that the expansion of the team in the future will require officers with leadership, and although he can send some more biochemical soldiers over at that time, it is not appropriate to directly take over the position of the boss, so 2 of the 80 cavalry are level 5 soldiers.

In addition, Li Hui also assigned them two medical soldiers, two engineers, two military policemen, and two technicians, although these troops could not fight on horseback, but it was no problem to travel on their behalf. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that the infantry could only ride horses and didn't know how to serve, and it was difficult to maintain horsepower for a long time, Li Hui, a "stingy ghost", would definitely recruit infantry to use as dragoons in order to save money

Out of some bad taste, Li Hui directly named these biochemical soldiers after the heroes of Liangshan, and the two leaders were called Song Jiang and Chao Gai, and the following ones were left to their choice.

However, this is actually in line with the practice on the green forest road, in order to avoid harming his family, he often gives himself a pseudonym, and most of these "heroes" have no culture, and often directly copy the names of heroes and heroes in those comments, Song Jiangchao Gai is considered a pediatric, and there are more awesome, such as Luo Rucai, one of the main leaders of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, who once used the pseudonym "Cao Cao"

Not two days after Li Hui's cavalry team was dispatched, Lao Li summoned him again and told him the not-so-good news that because he urgently needed money, the Beiyang Yamen could only give him an investment of 2 million taels of silver, which made Li Hui feel disappointed.

Fortunately, Li Hongzhang also knew his difficulties, and agreed that the income from mines and transportation facilities would be exempted from being handed over for the first two years, and that all would be distributed by Li Hui, and that if the silver was not enough, the railway and port could not be built, and the other 2 million taels of silver would be allocated faster.

Realizing that this is Lao Li's bottom line, Li Hui can only agree, but he must build railways and ports, considering that the required key materials such as rails, road studs and even cement can be produced using the system, coupled with the labor costs saved by the advanced management system, even if it is only 2 million taels of silver, Li Hui is actually sure to complete the No. 2 plan, but he can't get much benefit from it.

But this is not important, the point is that the gold and silver mines do not need too many workers, and the construction of railways and ports is different, and these workers are more important resources than gold and silver in Li Hui's mind.

According to the construction requirements of Plan No. 2, Li Hui can recruit up to 50,000 workers, and these 50,000 people are young and strong laborers, as long as they can be educated, mobilized, and organized, and then fully armed with the weapons and equipment produced by the system, it will be an elite army, if not enough to unify the whole country, at least be able to establish a base area for one side

Relatively speaking, mobilization is the easiest, although the Chinese peasants are usually loyal and honest, but as long as there are capable people to take the lead, it is easy to respond in groups in difficult times of life, to say that the number of peasant uprisings, the total number of peasant uprisings in Western history is less than a fraction of China.

However, the peasant uprisings in ancient China also had a common problem, that is, it was often difficult to organize well, and with a few exceptions in history, most of them were in a very chaotic state, not so much an uprising as a riot, and such a rabble naturally could not have any hope of victory.

The reason why it was difficult to organize peasant uprisings in ancient China was, in the final analysis, due to the small peasant economy that lasted for 2,000 years, which was very different from the rural society based on feudal serfdom in ancient Western times.

The Chinese peasants were easy to mobilize and difficult to organize, and there were many uprisings. The scale was often very large, but at least in the early days, most of them lacked combat effectiveness, and many of the officers and armies who had been repeatedly defeated in foreign wars at the end of the dynasty were able to defeat the peasants with one enemy by ten, or even one by hundred. The peasants in the West are difficult to mobilize and easy to organize, and there are few uprisings in history, and the scale is quite limited, and tens of thousands of people participate in them are considered major uprisings, but their combat effectiveness is generally very strong, and they are capable of defeating the regular army of the same order of magnitude from the beginning, and most of the final defeats are due to insufficient troops rather than combat effectiveness.

Therefore, in China, the difficulty of the peasant uprising (and other types of uprisings with the peasants as the main body of the insurrectionary army) and the key to success or failure lies in the organization, as long as there is a way to organize the peasants well, with the huge number of Chinese peasants who are rare in the world to endure hardships and stand hard work and are the largest in the world, it will be difficult for the uprising to fail.

However, this is also not too difficult for Li Hui, because he has systematic and biochemical soldiers, the latter as the backbone can organize dozens of times the number of peasants, and the Chinese are particularly smart, even if they were illiterate before joining the army, it is not difficult to become a qualified soldier after the most basic literacy and strict training, and he is outstanding in military quality (Li Hui has already understood the technical level of marksmanship, and the only thing he is worried about is actual combat ability. As instructors, it will take them a maximum of one year to train them

And the biochemical soldiers can also help them with literacy by the way, although they do not have the ability of teachers, but as long as they have enough literacy and expression skills, it is not difficult to help young people with literacy.

In order to complete it as soon as possible, Yan Fu even resigned from the official position that he had obtained with great difficulty, which made Li Hui very moved.

But Yan Fu can't help it, if it's just these two jobs, he and Li Hui together (but Li Hui has a lot of things, mainly Yan Fu is doing it.) It could have been done in a few months, and it would have been enough to take a long vacation, but Li Hui also commissioned him to compile a concise dictionary of only 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters, all in simplified Chinese and with a pinyin index, which would have been time-consuming and laborious, and Yan Fu had no other way.

However, this prompted Yan Fu to make up his mind to quit smoking, and after hearing the news, Li Hui was very happy for him, and also somewhat changed his opinion of the literati in the late Qing Dynasty (of course, only those with progressive tendencies), although it was easy to give up on themselves because they could not find the direction, but as long as they could see the hope of China's rejuvenation, they did not lack courage and perseverance
