Seeing Qin Guiren's eyebrows cold to him, Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Go down." "Knowing that Qin Guiren must feel that she is deliberately embarrassing her, it's just that whatever she thinks, it's up to her.

Qin Guiren was whipped, although Ye Zhao felt it, but did not stop it, in fact, in the imperial law, there is also a flogging in the punishment for certain crimes, Ye Zhao does not think that the implementation of a certain corporal punishment on the prisoner is a manifestation of barbarism, that is a foreign product of Western thought, in fact, physical trauma and freedom of imprisonment are essentially punishments for prisoners, the empire has a large population, and it has just entered a civilized society, and it has its own process of punishment continuation, and for some prisoners, perhaps the direct physical pain can punish him more, of course, Flogging is a punishment after a court trial, and prisoners during interrogation are bound to have civil rights.

I heard that Qin Guiren was beaten and cried when he was whipped, but after a few days, he gritted his teeth and went to the laundry room, I really don't know if she is tough or confused, but it is certain that she hates herself more and more.

Looking at Qin Guiren's pretty back, Ye Zhao shook his head, and at this time, Baozhu hurriedly came in again to say that Baoshuai had arrived.

Zhao Sanbao is now the second deputy marshal of the Military Commission and the number one person in the military, because of his close relationship with Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao's close attendants affectionately call him "Bao Shuai" or "Bao Shuai".

Zhao Sanbao is not very old, just in his early fifties, but his temples have turned gray, he can be regarded as living to learn all the time, there are hundreds of books on Eastern and Western tactical thinking in the study room at home, he has read almost all of them, and he has participated in correspondence classes of some courses at the Imperial University.

After Zhao Sanbao came, Ye Zhao waved his hand to order Yan Fu and other scribes to step back, and reached out to take the stack of letters presented by Zhao Sanbao and looked through them.

In the letter, it is the list of ships purchased by the Imperial Navy in recent years and the detailed performance of the Empire's navy, in recent years, the imperial navy's military expenditure has increased significantly, this year's naval military budget is 430 million yuan, and the British navy's military expenditure in the same year is 16 million pounds, the two are already almost the same, and these are the two countries' public figures approved by the parliament, in fact, the empire still has special subsidies for the navy has not been counted.

The letter also lists the comparison of Chinese and British naval strength.

So far, the British Navy has 359 combined armored ships and non-armored ships with a total tonnage of 10,000 tons, and the Imperial Navy has 413 combined armored ships and non-armored ships with a total tonnage of more than 860,000 tons.

In the 10 years from 1870 to the present, the British built 17 warships, 65 cruisers, 28 gunboats, 76 destroyers, and torpedo ships.

In the last five years of the Empire's decade, the total tonnage of warships was in an explosive period, and on the whole, the growth rate of the total tonnage of the navy in the decade was slightly higher than that of the British, and it was full of stamina, and a large number of orders poured into the major shipyards.

During this decade, the total tonnage of the British navy was greater than or equal to that of any two or even three European nations combined, but this advantage was now severely challenged from the East.

During this period, many new technologies of the world's navy such as ironclad protection, torpedoes, destroyers, etc. were not the first of Britain's initiative, but the British Navy was able to actively absorb them and quickly make them reach the level of practical use and form combat effectiveness. …,

Ye Zhao flipped through the letter and nodded slightly, although the total tonnage of the Imperial Navy is not as good as the British, but if the war starts now, it will definitely be the new warships in the past ten years that will determine the outcome of the war.

Moreover, Ye Zhao put down the letter in hand and asked, "What happened to the Zhenhai?" ”

The old Zhenhai has long been retired as a junior training ship of the naval academy, and the new Zhenhai, which was completed just at the beginning of this month, is the latest warship in the empire, and it is also the first warship to be designed with a complete radio system, which also solves the problem of liaison between the fleet and the command organization, and enables the navy's top brass to command and dispatch thousands of miles away.

The application of radio in the fleet is almost of epoch-making significance to naval warfare, and Zhao Sanbao is also well aware of this.

"It's still in sea trials." Zhao Sanbao is also very much looking forward to the Zhenhai.

Ye Zhao bowed slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Afghanistan must be quickly resolved, beware of the British." ”

"Yes." Zhao Sanbao lowered his hand to receive the order.

The muddy path, full of large and small yellow sand mounds, if it hadn't just rained yesterday, just afraid of the wind, the sand and dust would roll in.

Lu Dezhong and his team, a total of more than 30 people, walked through this barren land.

Lu Dezhong was a subordinate of Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun's department was incorporated into the Royal Army's Third Division of the Green Ridge Frontier after the outbreak of the Sino-Afghan War, and the main tasks of the Third Division after entering Afghanistan were to maintain stability in large cities, eliminate enemy chieftains, protect supply lines, and help the Afghan king rebuild local power and security forces.

Zhang Xunbu is stationed in Baghlan, in fact, in addition to Kabul and Kandahar, there are more than a dozen so-called big cities in Afghanistan, with a population of no more than tens of thousands, and Baghlan has only more than 10,000 people, which is quite inferior to the third-rate towns in the Central Plains.

Today, the national army has occupied all the "big cities" north of Kandahar, and a small number of troops are stationed in each town, such as Baghlan, where Zhang Xun's infantry battalion is stationed.

Lu Dezhong is the commander of the second platoon of Zhang Xun's reconnaissance post, he is in his early twenties this year, and has just graduated from the Imperial Lanzhou Military School, and now there are dozens of military academies of various types in the Empire, and the graduates of the primary military academy can only serve as a platoon of officers, which is no longer the same as when the empire was just founded.

Half an hour ago, Zhang Xun received a secret report from the Afghans, saying that there were British people hiding in villages in southern Baghlan, who were caught in the net after the Battle of Baghlan, and that his official position was no small and that he was a military adviser to the Islamic National Army of Afghanistan.

According to Abdul, an Afghan informant, who is also a tribal chief in the southern region of Baghlan and is now the deputy governor of Baghlan Province of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the British are flowing southward, and the hiding place is uncertain, so Lu Dezhong and others split up and searched for villages where the British might be hiding.

Lü knew the significance of this operation, and had always known that the British might be helping the putschists train the Islamic Army of Afghanistan, but he had never heard that the British military advisers were directly involved in the Sino-Afghan war, and that the capture of this Englishman would give the empire an advantage in diplomatic confrontations with the British.

"Platoon commander, there are Afghans who claim to be Baghlan Deputy Governor Abu or something......" The scout Xiao Mao, who ran back from the yellow sand dunes in front, was out of breath, laughed after speaking, and said: "But how does it look like a provincial governor?" The bearded Afghan interpreter didn't lie to us, right? ”

Lu Dezhong glared at Xiao Mao and said, "Be respectful!" People can't understand what we say, but they can see our contempt, you go quickly, invite him to come and ......" paused, and said, "I'll go over." He had seen this Mr. Abdul and knew that the resources under the jurisdiction of the provincial governor of Afghanistan were not as good as those of the county magistrates of the Central Plains, not to mention that the tribal chief was only a nominal deputy governor, not to mention that the local clothing customs of this chief would seem to the people of the Central Plains, and they would feel that he was dressed in tatters and clothes. …,

Xiao Mao stuck out his tongue, didn't dare to say any more, and walked behind Lu Dezhong and scratched his head, but he really felt that the governor of Fanbang was too cold.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the yellow sand seemed to be able to see the foggy water vapor, which was extremely hot.

Under the dead wood next to a mound of yellow sand, Abdul, dressed in an Arabic robe and legging trousers, and several of his attendants were looking in the direction from which Lu Dezhong had come, next to Lu Dezhong's interpreter, and a scout under Lu Dezhong, who did not aim their guns at the Afghans, but also watched their every move vigilantly.

Seeing Lu Dezhong's figure, Abdul walked up quickly, shook hands with Lu Dezhong affectionately, obviously learned the etiquette of the Central Plains, he smiled and said a few words, and interpreted: "Sir Lu, Allah's blessing, it's a pleasure to see you." ”

Lu Dezhong said with a smile: "Vice Governor Abu, I am also very happy to meet you, you have always been a friend of our Chinese, please forgive my subordinates for being unreasonable, you know, rebels often disguise themselves as civilians to attack us, so there is such a misunderstanding." "Led by Zhang Xun, they all call Abdul the governor of Abu, as for how to translate the interpreter, I don't know, anyway, it seems that Abdul likes the new name of the Chinese for him.

"I have good news for Chief Lu, that in Mojiti Village, my men have caught that Englishman." Abdul smiled happily, he had always been at odds with the rebel tribes who supported the coup, and had long been in contact with the Chinese in the green mountains, and now that the Chinese have come and the king has been restored, his tribe will definitely take the opportunity to grow and grow, provided that he concentrates on doing things for the Chinese and wins the favor of the Chinese.

Abdul added: "They are on the other side of the mountain." He pointed to a hill that looked like a bottle next to the guide, and said, "I'll tell them to be informed and bring them in." ”

Lu Dezhong nodded slightly, and said: "It's really hard Governor Abu, please also go to Baghlan with me, the guerrilla lords often say that they miss you very much." ”

Abdul listened to the translation, smiled even more on his face, and bent slightly with his hand on his chest.

After Abdul's men left, Lu Dezhong's reconnaissance platoon sat or lay down behind the loess mounds nearby, and there were scouts who went to the front to answer, seemingly casual, but in fact they were also ready for battle. Always be prepared for the unexpected.

Lu Dezhong looked at his pocket watch, and an hour and fourteen minutes later, a group of people came in front of him, and the scout had already returned to deliver the letter, and indeed a blue-eyed white man was tied up.

When the group approached, a scout came up to them, took the hook-nosed middle-aged European from the Afghan and pushed him in front of Lu Dezhong.

"You are a military adviser to the Afghan rebels? What is your name? Lu Dezhong looked at the rebellious white man in front of him, and suddenly asked in English, he must learn a foreign language when he is in the military school, mainly English, German and French, Lu Dezhong chose English, although the stammering tone is very strange, but obviously, the other party understands.

The rebellious white man was originally looking at these Chinese, and when he heard Lu Dezhong's question, he was surprised: "Are you Chinese?" From the physiognomy, he can still tell the difference between Chinese and Afghans.

Lu Dezhong nodded slightly and said, "Yes." With a gesture, the soldiers untied the white man.

The arrogance on the white man's face at the moment gradually disappeared, rubbing his hair numb
