Chapter 54: The Delay Bomb

(The second more, you can pay attention to the prestige public account of "Hard Reform History", a book friend, I look at it and feel good.) )

After the dirty deal between Jebtsunbadan and Petrov, those rebels finally fell to the side of Tsarist Russia, and the happiest of them was the Tushetu Khan, who even once declared in public that Russia was our Mongolian partner and relative, making it seem as if it was a glorious thing to kneel and lick the old hair.

However, with the Tushetu Khan Department, the largest tribe in Khalkha, soon the entire steppe will be shrouded in a cloud of division, and those rebels wish that the Qing court would take severe sanctions against Khalkha, so that they can get out of the rat hole and shout brightly, and as the initiator of the continuous fermentation of this incident, Ye Kai naturally has his plans, he did not do this for fear that the world will not be chaotic, since Outer Mongolia will rebel sooner or later, it is better to leak their conspiracy in the sun as soon as possible.

With the Russians involved, the Mongolian steppe is bound to form a situation of military confrontation between China and Russia, and this confrontation will exist for a long time, at least in a short period of time, no one dares to put the first shot, Russia lost in the war three years ago The Far East Fleet has no family left, and the vitality has been greatly injured since then, and the Qing Dynasty also urgently needs a period of digestion after the New Deal, so it does not dare to start a war rashly, Ye Kai saw this opportunity, he was at this point in time, but they were cautious, laid out their own game, Then concoct a delay bomb and throw it on the Khalkha steppe, waiting for someone who doesn't open his eyes to step on it first

The king's order was urgent, and after receiving Zaifeng's order, the second and third towns of the Beiyang Army stationed near the Beijing Division were immediately opened, and the new minister of office Sanduo went together, and the sudden order did not give any time for the forces to react, until the moment before the Beiyang Army was about to leave the division, he got the news in hindsight, but he was powerless.

The departure ceremony before the departure was like a swearing-in meeting to kill the enemy, and the officers and men of the Beiyang Army had heard more or less about how severe the situation in Mongolia was, so they went completely with the purpose of quelling the rebellion.

This important ceremony, the regent Zaifeng naturally dressed up to attend, issued an order to show encouragement, but none of the important ministers of the Beiyang Group participated, Yi-Liang hung up the exemption card on the grounds of being weak and sick, and others also excused themselves for irrelevant reasons, making the Beiyang Army seem to dislike even their parents, quite ironically, Ye Kai, as the head of the Praetorian Guard, appeared at the ceremony this time.

Looking at the more than 20,000 Beiyang Army officers and soldiers who were ready to go, Ye Kai, who was standing high on the platform, had an indescribable sense of pleasure, disintegrating Beiyang was undoubtedly the situation he had planned for a long time and wanted to see the most, among the six towns in Beiyang, except for the first town, the remaining five towns were the foundation for the survival of the entire Beiyang Group, and only by completely destroying it could Ye Kai firmly grasp the military power near the capital, and now, he has succeeded two-fifths of the way.

The reason why he appeared at the conference today, Ye Kai did not look at other people's jokes as a winner, but had a more practical purpose, according to his order, the Military Advisory Office selected two military advisers to join the Beiyang Army that was about to leave for Mongolia, and this was also the first step in Ye Kai's implementation of the military adviser's plan to take charge of the army, knowing that there were many difficulties, it was impossible to put all the troops on his own people at once, so as soon as there was such a good opportunity, Ye Kai of course directly used it as an experimental field.

"It is your duty to defend the land, and you should fulfill your duties, resist foreign insults, and live up to the trust of the imperial court."

"Obey the Regent's commands!"

The shouts of the mountains and tsunamis were like a passing cloud, Ye Kaimu watched this army leave in unison, marching towards the dangerous and unknown Khalkha steppe, perhaps in the coming days, their new force will bravely fight bloody battles against the invaders for the dignity and territorial integrity of the motherland.

Ye Kai didn't stay too long, as soon as the conference was over, he hurried back to Nanyuan on the outskirts of Beijing, the training of the Praetorian Guards was urgent, for him, that was the more important thing

In the vicinity of Nanyuan on the outskirts of Beijing, a radius of seven or eight kilometers has been pulled up with barbed wire, and there is a sentry every few hundred meters, and there are also sentries patrolling from time to time, and their keen eyes can always be on guard against the approach of suspicious people.

In this military powerhouse, a deafening roar can be heard at any time, which is the explosion of 105mm caliber German-made artillery shells, which is also mixed with the sound of 75mm mountain guns, under the destruction of this eardrum-tearing strong noise, the simple sound of machine guns or Mauser gun fire, to the ears of those soldiers, it sounds like enjoying beautiful and soothing cello music.

Under Ye Kai's will, the training charter was carried out in an orderly manner, if you could read all the contents of this charter, the people who saw it would only gasp, and then invariably come to the same conclusion, the training of the Praetorian Guard can be called devilish.

In addition to the most basic physical training of the infantry, shooting training, and from time to time to carry out a five-kilometer cross-country weight-bearing run, or a ten-kilometer long-distance run, Ye Kai completely imitates the modern training method, what he wants is to squeeze out the strength of the soldiers at the same time, temper the most tenacious military consciousness.

In addition to these, he will also conduct random sample inspections, if the situation of laziness is found, the soldiers and the commander will be punished, if you feel that these are too strict, then compared to a few high schools in China in the future, this is nothing.

In terms of shooting training, Ye Kai did not spare shells and bullets at all, a qualified soldier has not gone through thousands of rounds of live ammunition, can you expect him to achieve good results on the battlefield? If you think that you can pick up a Mauser 1904 rifle casually, and then press the crosshair to shoot at a target 400 meters away, it is either that you have played too much CS or you have watched too many Anti-Japanese War TV series.

One of the necessary conditions for forming a modern steel division is that the soldiers must have sufficient training, and it can be said that half of such an army is smashed with money, so in less than ten days, the Praetorian Guard's accounts have spent 100,000 taels of silver.

Ye Kai, who was staring at the accounts, finally realized the meaning of the phrase spending money like flowing water, the army has always been a gold-swallowing giant crocodile, and a cannonball will top up to the living expenses of several families for half a month, Rao is heart is prepared, looking at the soaring military spending figures, Ye Kai could only shake his head with a wry smile.

However, Ye Kai is not worried about these problems for the time being, the current balance can be delayed for a few days, as for whether his training plan can continue to be implemented after four months, the attitude of Shangshu Zaize of the Du branch is undoubtedly the top priority.

And for this person, Ye Kai has never forgotten it, because the starting point of all plans is inextricably linked to him, and he will be Ye Kai's biggest signboard.

"Zai Ze, Zai Ze, I'm still waiting for your silver." Ye Kai sneered and whispered to himself.

"Knock Knock"

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, putting these aside in advance, Ye Kaigang wanted to go out to take a breath, but at this time, there was a sudden urgent knock at the door.

Opening the door, a military soldier came in panting, and after giving a military salute, he hurriedly reported: "Tell the commander, the gendarmerie has caught a deserter, and the people of the military justice department may I ask what to do with it!" ”

Hearing this, Ye Kaigang's heart immediately rose up, and his brows furrowed violently.
