In order to ensure his own communications, in addition to using the herald and telegram, the 600 carrier pigeons that Lin Haijiang had trained before could be said to come in handy.

This batch of pigeons has been fully possessed of the primary level of the military pigeons, although it is not very professional, but China as one of the earliest countries to use military pigeons, the experience of cultivating pigeons is still quite rich, which even the Prussians are out of reach, although later generations of human beings have entered the era of satellite communications, but the world's [***] team of military pigeons still occupy an important position in the army, military pigeons have the characteristics of simplicity, flexibility, speed and accuracy, and are more suitable for use in border and coastal defense areas. Under special conditions, such as reconnaissance behind enemy lines, in emergency situations where modern electronic communication equipment or wired telecommunications may be wiretapped, sabotage, military pigeon communication is the best choice.

Lin Haijiang equipped the military pigeon to the battalion level combat unit, the division and the corps and the front finger have a military pigeon base, there are professional staff officers in the sending and receiving of all kinds of orders and retrieving information, although the military pigeon is simple, low cost, but after all, there are all kinds of unexpected risks, Lin Haijiang is very helpless, military operations require the timeliness and accurate surname, these two military pigeons are difficult to meet the needs of Lin Haijiang, and the military pigeon is very vulnerable to wild animals, such as some generals of the Qing army to serve Hai Dongqing, There have been cases of attacks and interception of military pigeons.

Since then, all the correspondence has been changed to password translation to reduce unnecessary losses, Lin Haijiang's impression of Hai Dongqing is an eagle-like bird of prey, theoretically speaking, it should not be very big?

Later, I found the pigeon trainer who raised military pigeons, and only then did I know that the feelings of Haidongqing early Manchu meaning "Xiongkulu", translated into the world's highest and fastest bird, there is "the god of ten thousand eagles" of Mingtou, the legend of 100,000 eagles only out of a Haidongqing, is the highest totem of the Manchurian family, and Haidongqing in the pure white jade claw as the top grade, and there are autumn yellow, wave yellow, three-year dragon and other names.

In the end, Lin Haijiang learned that the number of Hai Dongqing in the Qing army was also very rare, so he was relieved, otherwise his military pigeon and Hai Dongqing encountered in the air, that is, it was equivalent to the F-22 encountering a biplane single-engine old plane, both sides were also trained, and the possibility of survival of the military pigeon was almost zero.

Lin Haijiang knew that his most urgent need was a high-power long-wave radio station, but the invention of radio would not be until at least 30 years later, and it would take at least 40 years for the military application of radio.

Lin Haijiang knows that it is not a single person or a coincidence that promotes the development of science and technology, but a large amount of investment, with funds as a solid backing for scientific research and development.

When they get a patent, they are still in debt and obscurity, until one day, their patent is addressed to an investor's project, and they are given the opportunity to promote their own inventive practical theory, which is the main reason why the speed of technological development is sometimes fast and slow.

But in addition, it is a large-scale war that will make new inventions and new technologies be quickly applied, more than 87% of the inventions in human history were first used in war, and then popularized in civilian technology, so Lin Haijiang wants to try to concentrate a number of outstanding scientists and inventors with the support of a large amount of funds to do targeted research on special topics.

Because Lin Haijiang knows that once anyone on the battlefield masters the unilateral battlefield transparency, then who will win the war, especially in the large-scale battles of all arms, the important surname of communication is particularly important, and now the communication conditions of the Chinese Empire can only be said to be slightly better than that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Army, unless the wired telegraph line is not destroyed by nature and man, or there is a major breakthrough in radio research, but these two points are now out of Lin Haijiang's reach.

Lin Haijiang came to the window and pushed open the window, taking a deep breath of air full of the smell of cooking smoke, even so he still felt a natural freshness, and it was difficult to breathe fresh air anymore due to the serious pollution and deterioration of the natural environment in later generations!

Lin Haijiang turned to Li Anmin and said, "I have been in Ganzhou for so many days, and I haven't gone out for a walk, are you interested in walking around with me?" ”

Li Anmin looked at the telegram at hand a few days ago or even more than ten days ago, and smiled helplessly: "In fact, the level of our communication and intelligence transmission has even surpassed that of Prussia now, and even the Americans who are in full swing of the civil war are beyond the reach of the dust, and the front-line combat units advance about 25 kilometers a day on average, while the infrastructure construction units of the Production and Construction Corps level roads and lay telegraph poles and wires for about 20 kilometers every day. ”

Lin Haijiang smiled and said: "My deputy chief of staff, I know all this, and I also know that this is urgent, but now the daily consumption of the troops is about to become an astronomical figure, the Qing court has done a very good job in the fortified walls and fields in many places of the two rivers and two lakes, leaving us with only hungry people and saboteurs, end the first phase of the campaign as soon as possible, let the troops move from offensive to defensive, and start to clean up and build internally, this is the most important thing, swallowing too much is easy to indigestion." ”

And now due to the great changes in history, it is difficult for Lin Haijiang to find the laws of history, even if he finds a little bit of the law, he does not dare to bet all his chips at once as before, after all, history is fixed, events are dead, but people are alive!

The streets of Ganzhou are not wide, but they seem to be very tidy, ordinary people are used to planting a few trees in their yards, green tiles and green bricks, Lin Haijiang and Li Anmin are visiting Ganzhou at night, Lin Haijiang only brought a few guards beside him, Wang Faren didn't say anything on the surface, but as soon as Lin Haijiang left, more than 400 plainclothes intelligence agents and gendarmes were released to search for guards along both sides of Lin Haijiang and Li Anmin's travel route.

Lin Haijiang stopped in front of an unnamed restaurant, because the voice of a woman in the restaurant felt familiar to him? Before Lin Haijiang could think of the owner of this voice, there was a sound of fighting in the restaurant, followed by the drunkards running around, the wailing of the guys and the shouting of the proprietress at the gendarmes in a sharp voice.

Now the common people of Ganzhou have developed a habit, that is, they used to dare not go through the idle things and petty theft of officials, and now they all know to look for gendarmes, and it just so happens that a team of gendarmes who pretend to patrol and pass by enter the restaurant.

At this time, Lin Haijiang suddenly remembered the owner of the voice, so he stepped in, and Li Anmin also hurriedly followed with his guards.

Sure enough, the injured guy in one place, the tables, benches, cups, bowls and dishes were in a mess, Jiang Rong'er stepped on a big fat girl and was exerting power, and a group of gendarmes stood aside and didn't know what to do? What surprised Lin Haijiang the most was that Wanxin was also inside, but she was very elegant with a wine glass and watched the excitement on the side.

Lin Haijiang glanced at the second lieutenant of the military police and smiled slightly: "From the Ministry of Intelligence, right?" How many? ”

The second lieutenant of the gendarmerie smiled awkwardly and said: "Report to the Führer, from the Second Operations Section!" ”

Lin Haijiang nodded and said: "Even the real gendarmes have to be dumbfounded when they see this scene, don't retreat, just guard and guard outside!" Lest your minister worry, send a few people to clean up the store here, how much loss, and the medical expenses of the personnel are all on my head! ”

When the second lieutenant of the military police heard that the Führer was so reasonable, he saluted happily and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to set up a cordon and help pack up their things.

After finishing the order, Lin Haijiang took off his windbreaker, looked at Jiang Rong'er and Wanxin and smiled slightly: "The two of you are making trouble in Ganzhou City today, and you must be tired of smashing the tavern angrily, so why don't I invite you to have a meal!" ”

Wanxin smiled slightly: "We don't dare to climb high now!" What do you want me to call you? Lord Lin? Admiral Lin? Führer Lin? Or is it Little Brother Lin? ”

Lin Haijiang glanced at Wanxin, made a gesture of invitation, and said lightly: "It's just a title, do you mind or will I mind?" If you don't have it in your heart, what if your mouth is sweet? ”

Hearing Lin Haijiang's words, Wanxin's face turned slightly red, and Wanxin actually remembered several ambiguous actions between him and Lin Haijiang, maybe God is not beautiful, and someone comes to stir up the situation every time! Among them, Jiang Rong'er stirred up the second game, Wanxin once joked about Jiang Rong'er, Lin Haijiang's head of the Chinese Empire is basically equivalent to the emperor, if it weren't for your destruction, wouldn't my sister have slept with an emperor now? Wanxin realized that she was a little out of shape and hurriedly sorted out her emotions.

Lin Haijiang glanced at Jiang Rong'er, who was a little entangled because of the fierce gaffe just now, and said, "Jiang Woman!" What do you want to eat? Today I have a treat! ”

The shopkeepers on the side have long been dumbfounded, so many days the people in Ganzhou City can basically distinguish the difference between soldiers and officers of the Chinese Empire, especially the military rank, the one I see today is not a plum blossom or a horizontal bar, let alone an extremely rare Venus, but a silver ocean-sized dragon gold emblem? What kind of official is this? Can the gendarmes be summoned and come and go at any time? He eats, and the gendarmes stand guard?

The proprietress surnamed Wu is also a pungent master, but she is very sophisticated, and she is also a master who can distinguish priorities, because in her memory, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire never put on any pomp, and even the army commanders who came to her nameless residence for dinner only had two guards with her.

Lin Haijiang asked carefully and found out that it turned out that Jiang Rong'er lost her purse by jumping on the way here, and she had no money to pay the bill after eating, and was about to pawn something, but the proprietress spoke very meanly, where was Jiang Rong'er the master who was angry, so she opened a full martial arts business, and the proprietress also became an authentic national treasure!

After Lin Haijiang reassured the proprietress not to panic, Li Anmin saw that he was too much here, so he immediately got up and went to the first floor under the pretext to arrange for the guards outside to take turns to eat.

After Li Anmin left, Lin Haijiang played with the cup in his hand and said: "One of you is an idle cloud and a wild crane, and you promised to be my guard for a year, but there was no one for a few months, and a big boss of Qinghualou is not a person who has time to come to Ganzhou to see me, let's say!" I'll listen, if I can do a definition of it! ”

After Wan Xin and Jiang Rong'er glanced at each other, Wan Xin said solemnly: "The Heavenly Kingdom hopes to negotiate peace with you, and they will use the excuse to let you fight the demons!" ”

Lin Haijiang smiled helplessly, did not answer Wanxin's words, and suddenly changed the topic: "What do you think of Ganzhou?" ”

Jiang Rong'er was slightly stunned and said: "It's much better than under the governance of the Qing Demon, but it's not as good as Liangguang, I went to Hainan some time ago, and it's also a big change!" The free transportation carriage is so convenient. ”

Lin Haijiang nodded and said, "The Chinese Empire governs far better places than the Qing Court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so why do these two regimes still exist?" Why let them continue to exploit the common people? Is there still a need for these two regimes to exist? China must be reunified as soon as possible, and only by shortening the timing and scale of the reunification war can we truly reduce the wounds suffered by the nation and the people. ”

Wanxin and Jiang Rong'er were stunned when they heard this, Lin Haijiang waved his hand and said: "The Chinese Empire is not my Lin Haijiang's alone, but the entire Chinese nation, this Chinese nation includes you Jiang Rong'er, you Wanxin, and even more including the common people all over the world, do you think the common people will agree to let the corrupt Qing court and the arrogant Taiping Heavenly Kingdom continue to exploit them endlessly?" ”

Lin Haijiang paused, looked at Wanxin and Jiang Rong'er and said, "This is the general trend, not something that can be stopped by manpower, I hope you understand!" ”

Wanxin was a little worried: "But aren't you worried that they will send someone to assassinate you?" ”

Lin Haijiang pointed out the window and said: "The hearts of the people, whoever can get the hearts of the people can dominate the world, on the other hand, martial arts are certainly very attractive, but you must know that the simple way to commit homicide is not martial arts, but guns, artillery, human science and technology are constantly improving, what is studied is nothing more than how to slaughter their own kind more quickly and effectively, if I guess correctly now, at this moment there are at least a dozen sniper rifles outside the window aimed at the two of you, I trust you, But that doesn't mean that my subordinates trust you unconditionally, and I hope you understand that. ”

Wanxin was obviously a little frustrated, but Jiang Rong'er seemed to be indifferent, after a while, the dishes were ready, Lin Haijiang smiled slightly: "You two are not qualified lobbyists themselves, today you should have come to Ganzhou to visit me!" This love is deeply remembered by Lin Haijiang in my heart. ”

As soon as Lin Haijiang's words came out, Wanxin and Jiang Rong'er both lowered their heads slightly, they all had different understandings of this sentence, Lin Haijiang could say this under such a disparity in status and status, which was already very touching to them, it can be said that women are more likely to be moved by emotions than men.

Next, the three of them began to serve each other's dishes, raising their glasses frequently, and everything before seemed to have disappeared, Lin Haijiang suddenly had a feeling, that is, some time seemed to be ripe?

For Wanxin and Jiang Rong'er, Lin Haijiang is prepared in his heart, for a woman who has twice held a sword to his neck, Lin Haijiang from the perspective of safety, this kind of woman does not let her follow her with all her heart and fall in love with herself, so there is only one option to kill her.

Lin Haijiang is not a person who destroys flowers with spicy hands, and he is not too willing to kill a beauty like Jiang Rong'er, while a royal sister like Wanxin is completely in line with his aesthetic point of view, most of the female surnames in this era are very shy, and Wanxin's enthusiasm and unrestrained dare to say and dare to love seems very different.

These two women sent themselves to the door today, Lin Haijiang naturally wants to take this opportunity to show his personal charm, the only fly in the ointment is that both of them are there, and pleasing two women at the same time, but not making them disgusted with each other, this is far more difficult for Lin Haijiang than commanding.

In Tianjin Beiyang Yamen, at this moment Zeng Guofan is in the back hall secret meeting, due to the butterfly effect caused by the historical changes, the history of the famous Zuo Zongtang did not have the opportunity to ascend to the position of governor of Zhejiang, but it also just kept the official body and future, not like Zeng Qinghou and Fan Shuli died in the city, Zuo Zongtang can be said to be Zeng Guofan's iron team, Zeng Guofan was defeated half of the mountain, Zuo Zongtang fully supported Zeng Guofan's food and salary, which allowed Zeng Guofan to get through the difficulties.

After Zeng Guofan's Beiyang training of the new army, he transferred Zuo Zongtang, who held the rank of squire of the military department, to the Beiyang flag, the Beiyang New Army has a total of eight towns, of which six towns are supplemented by the elite training of the Hunan army for more than six months, and the two towns are newly organized, with a total of more than 100,000 people.

The Beiyang New Army has an establishment of 12,500 to 12,600 soldiers per town, and each town has two infantry associations, 4,038 men per association, 1,117 horse standards, 1,836 artillery standards, 667 engineer battalions, 764 baggage battalions, and 51 military bands. Each assistant has jurisdiction over two bids, 2,005 people per bid, 3 battalions per standard, 659 people per battalion, and the battalion is divided into 4 teams, three rows per team, three sheds per row, and 14 people per shed.

Now Wang Tianji's first town, Chen Biao's second town, and Qian Bin's third town belong to Zuo Zongtang, the chief town officer of the Chinese army, and Zeng Guobao, Zeng Jize, Zeng Guoquan and other three people each lead a town.

However, Nanchang's rapid destruction of the city was really beyond everyone's expectations, but the loss of Nanchang was also the meaning of Zeng Guofan, so that the Beiyang New Army could advance into the two lakes more justifiably, otherwise the imperial court would want the Beiyang New Army to reinforce the Liangjiang, and they would have to bother perfunctory.
