In all fairness, if Zhao Yun himself encountered the Mongolian cavalry in formation, advancing step by step, and carrying out a unilateral crushing charge, Zhao Yun really couldn't think of an effective way to deal with this army.

Although cavalry is considered to be the nemesis of infantry, this ironclad rule does not apply to skilled generals, and the terrain sometimes gives infantry unlimited attack bonuses. When the direct army used these passages to build a steel defense line that could be advanced and retreated, the cavalry faced not only the 8,000 infantry, but also the impassable trench.

But a day later, Zhao Yun was no longer so troubled, just when Zhao Yun looked at the direct army under the Shanhai Pass and frowned and thought about the offensive countermeasures, Wu Peifu's representative Mo Yutong and several followers had already set foot on the land of Nanjing.

"Why do you boss think that occupying such a city as Nanjing is a great general? Then he is too naïve, if it weren't for our Wu Dashuai who coordinated between you and the Qi Governors, you would have been escorted to the vegetable market by the Qi Inspectors and cut off with a click. Mo Yutong had a somewhat contemptuous smile on his face.

It's no wonder, after all, Wu Peifu's descendants have already defeated Zhang Huzi, and it is not an exaggeration to be called the world's first male army in Huaxia at this moment, blocking the offensive of the Mongolian army that is coming from a long distance, Mo Yutong has no doubt about this, and even he is full of confidence in Wu Peifu's defeat of the Mongolian army.

Crisis, crisis, there are dangers and opportunities, and this time the Mongolian army came to Shanhaiguan is an opportunity full of dangers, if Wu Peifu defeated Timur's Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop, then the vast land of Inner and Outer Mongolia will have to be surnamed Wu, and more importantly, those who are jumping around in Jixian County, under the hands of the fierce Wu Peifu, there is basically only one end, which can be described as cutting grass and eradicating the roots. For Mo Yutong, who has been flaunting himself as an anti-Qing righteous man since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the last one is what he wants to see the most. Yuan Shikai's preferential treatment of the Manchu court may not be agreed to by every Beiyang person, and Mo Yutong is one of them.

Mo Yutong was looking down at the several high-ranking officials sent by Nanjing to receive him at this moment, as a representative sent by Wu Peifu to Nanjing to purchase arms, Mo Yutong naturally felt that he was much more dignified than these wall-to-wall grasses on both sides, and he was also Beiyang orthodox and a direct line, not a small warlord like Zhao Yun who became a monk halfway or a small chaebol.

Although the faces of several Nanjing high-ranking officials who were in charge of the reception on the opposite side changed slightly, they were all old fritters who were mixed in the officialdom, so they naturally nodded their heads and bowed, and if they complimented, it was like a surging river, slapping Mo Yutong's sycophants flutteringly.

Surrounded by a large group of people, Mo Yutong entered the city of Nanjing, but before he could talk about the munitions, all the officials who greeted him made excuses to leave.

Mo Yutong, who was very angry, decided to find his own way after being furious in the hotel, so he found the Nanjing Military Yamen in the evening, that is, the office arranged by Zhao Yun for Zhu Xi.

"Zhu Xi, you are also a direct old man, although you are now with Boss Zhao, but you don't forget your background, Wu Dashuai also specially instructed me before coming, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no way, when your rebel army attacked Nanjing City, you made great contributions, if you are willing to take Nanjing again, that Jiangsu overseer will definitely not be able to run in the future!" Mo Yutong sat down a little and began to lobby based on his friendship with Zhu Xi back then.

Now that the war in the north is in full swing, there are many places where arms are used, even if the Mongol army and the Feng army are defeated, if you want to eliminate, co-opt, and arm them, then the cost of arms alone is astronomical, and for the direct family with poor financial resources, this is a headache for all the generals of the direct army.

If this is in the Feng department, then you can also plant some plants that can't be seen in the light and exchange them for some silver, but Wu Peifu has always been clean and self-conscious, and he is also extremely strict with his subordinates, who dares to stir up trouble?

So Mo Yutong thought, instead of spending a lot of money to buy eggs, it is better to buy back the chickens that can lay eggs. At this time, after Zhao Yun's efforts, along the Yangtze River, there were Jinling Weapons Institute in Nanjing, Artillery Repair Institute in Zhenjiang, Oil Refinery and Aircraft Manufacturing Institute in Changzhou, Weapons Research Institute in Suzhou, and four large shipyards, with branches in Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Jingjiang, and as many as four or five hundred small and medium-sized shipyards, which can be described as the heavy industry base in southern China.

The topic involved "rebellion", and no matter how good Zhu Xi's temper was, he suddenly became nameless

"Mo Yutong! What's wrong with you kid? Our boss treats you kindly, and he sells warships and shells to you, but you are good, you don't want to defend against foreign enemies, but you make trouble in your own home. Let's not talk about our family, if you look at the entire North China region, there has been a war all day long, it's been almost two months, and there is no stop, what do you want? Do you want to make China look like it was during the Jin Dynasty, and do it again? ”

"Brother Zhu Xi, how do you know about the military situation in the north? Could it be that your boss secretly sent someone to monitor the war situation in North China? Mo Yutong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, this Zhao Yun Zhao Boss is really too mysterious, if it weren't for the greed of Qi Overseer and his eye on Zhao Yun's industry, who knows when this predator will lurk before he will emerge.

As for how much strength Zhao Yun has, in fact, the direct family has the most right to speak, especially the matter of helping the direct family to reorganize the Beiyang Naval Division, so that the direct high-level decided not to offend this big arms dealer. And if you let the other party know that you want to dig his corner in private, and you dig the corner when the other party is closely and secretly monitoring their every move, it will be a big deal.

"Who has the kung fu to spy on you? Don't you see the current Chinese newspapers and foreign newspapers in Shanghai being promoted? Zhu Xi glared at Mo Yu fiercely, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's instructions, Zhu Xi, who didn't want to be a slave with the third surname, would have blown this person away.

"No, the foreign newspapers still said in the past, but when did the Chinese newspapers have such a strong communication ability?" Regarding Zhu Xi's words, Mo Yutong expressed Yan Zhan's suspicions.

At the same time, Zhu Xi also felt a trace of sadness for this old colleague, who had absorbed more external things under the impetus of Zhao Yun in recent years. Especially after the Qi army was driven across the river, with Jiangnan as Shanghai's back garden, more business can be negotiated with foreigners, of course, more resources, science and technology have also poured into Shanghai, Shanghai in this era, in addition to heavy industry, has been comparable to Washington in the United States, it is not an exaggeration to call it "the first city in Asia".

"Yutong, you are still the same as before, how can you see the world if you don't go out, you have been in Jixian for too long. You should go to Shanghai to see the development there, and there is a foolish brother to advise you, don't think about digging into the corner, our Boss Zhao is from your side, he wants to help Wu Dashuai very much, do you know the Titanic? "Zhu Xi originally had the same old as Mo Yu, studied together, and served as soldiers together, and after rolling through the trenches together, he simply commensurate with Mo Yu as a brother. If it weren't for Mo Yu's coming to dig the corner, Zhu Xi wouldn't be so angry! After thinking about it, he attributed all his grievances to Mo Yutong, this kid is clearly a disaster! The North is no longer good, and it is coming to plague the South again!

"The Titanic that Brother Zhu said was a cruise ship that later hit an iceberg and sank?" Mo Yutong thought about it and replied. Mo Yutong came to purchase arms for Wu Peifu this time, and naturally knew that Zhao Yun had the most second-hand goods in Europe, so he had a clear idea of what could be in the second-hand market in Europe, and he had the most work. It is precisely in this way that when his emotional intelligence is not high, Wu Peifu still chose him as the representative of Jiangnan procurement.

"That's right, you kid is still as familiar with the European ship market as before!" Zhu Xi for this old brother, although he sighed at his emotional intelligence, but also did admit his excellence, at this time, the transmission of information is not as convenient as in later generations, just like few people in Europe know that there is a war in China, and few people in China know what is happening in Europe!

Although Mo Yutong didn't know the relationship between this Brother Zhu and his boss, he remembered that Zhao Yun was able to hand over the important town of Nanjing to Zhu Xi, which shows Zhao Yun's trust in Zhu Xi. So I speculated

"Did your boss buy the Olympic?"

That's right, both the Olympic and the Titanic are affiliated with the British White Star Line. The Olympic is the first ship of the Olympic-class cruise ship of the White Star Company, and it is also the sister ship of the Titanic, which is exactly the same as the Titanic in appearance and decoration. It is 269.68 meters long, 28.19 meters wide, and carries 2,764 passengers. It was converted into a warship for service during World War I. But what to buy it for, are so many people in China willing to take that kind of luxury cruise ship at this time?

"Yutong, your hopes are too high, even if we want to buy it, the other party may not want to sell it! And even if we buy it back, what can we do with it? "Zhu Xi himself was born in the army, so he naturally doesn't like the navy, a gold-swallowing beast.

"Build a warship! It can be converted into a military transport ship! Think of 269.68 meters long! That's got to hold a lot of stuff! "Unlike Zhu Xi, Mo Yutong knows more about warships.

"Yutong, do you think military transport ships can make money?" Zhu Xi asked rhetorically, and Mo Yutong remembered that the boss of Brother Zhu in front of him was a businessman, and the warlord was just his part-time job.

"Hey, Yutong, who do you think will protect it when it sails at sea?" Zhu Xi saw that Mo Yutong was silent, and asked the most important point again.

"We have a German battleship in our direct line!" Mo Yutong said excitedly, that Nassau-class battleship is now the military soul of the navy.

"Did it go away?" Zhu Xi snorted coldly.
