The rising sun crossed the ridge, and the sun shone on a small and not wide ballast street in Ma'anshan, and on a worker wearing a cloth hat and overalls, and his clothes were stained with machine ash. As he walked down the street, he occasionally glanced in front of and behind him, and finally he turned into an alley off the main street.

This is located in the village lane outside Ma'anshan, not the company's planning area, compared to the neatly planned company factory and living area, here with a strong southern China unique local flavor, rows of low green bricks, mud houses, the whole alley is filled with a smell of breakfast, firewood smoke and a little [***], chicks clucking in the mud running around.

Here in Ma'anshan is half of the fireworks alley, there are some secret prostitutes, these secret prostitutes are often from Jiangning and other places to move prostitutes, the reason why they came here, is to make money from those "rich" steel mill workers, and not everyone in the steel mill brought wives, naturally there are some needs.

After walking a few dozen feet into the alleyway, he turned into a courtyard with an open door, where an old man who seemed to be in his fifties was eating breakfast.

The door was closed casually, and the worker with the machine ash on his body stood up and knelt down.

"Your Excellency!"

After kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to his head, the worker raised his head when the man was relieved.

"How's that, did you get it?"

As soon as the old man spoke, he had some Beijing accents, and there were various local dialects gathered here, and it was not strange to speak Beijing dialect, so there were secret prostitutes from the capital in these liao, not to mention small merchants from the capital.

Yan Chongnian has been very depressed in recent months, on the one hand, just as the master promised him, the uncle rewarded him with a title from the sixth grade, although it is a supplement, but it also made him really proud, but after being proud, the uncle said that if there is no merit, he must not be allowed to fill the vacancy, and then the master asked him to go to Ma'anshan to listen to the inside story of Ma'anshan.

The uncle got some news from the bypass, saying that this industry has the intention of rebellion, if it is changed to any other company or individual, I am afraid that the uncle will already send troops to take people first, but Zhang Zhidong and others attach great importance to this Chen Moran and the industrial company, and there is no evidence to do it directly, maybe those disloyal and unfilial minions will join forces to drive the uncle from his position, so the uncle can't be cautious.

"Your Excellency!"

The worker nervously took out a cloth bag from his pocket and spread it out, revealing several metallic machine additives.

"My lord, this is what I took out of the scrap of the iron furnace when people were not looking, and I want to ...... It should be needed by adults! ”

"It's ......"

Stretching out and taking something from the cloth bag, Yan Chongnian took a closer look, this thing was a bit like something on the guard gun in the house, and his heart was excited, Yan Chongnian asked quietly.

"Anything else?"

"Also...... And one more! ”

As he spoke, the worker pulled out another yellow, clear metal object.

"It's a bullet...... Which factories are all producing this? ”

After receiving a positive answer, Yan Chongnian believed that this was the step for him to be promoted to an official and a wealthy person.

Holding this bullet in his hand, Yan Chongnian smiled coldly, since four months ago, when he came to Ma'anshan to open this bitch shop, he stared at the dozen or so factories that seemed to be heavily guarded, in order to buy those workers, it can be said that it took a lot of twists and turns, and now he finally got some incriminating evidence, just waiting for ......, "My lord, the slave can be regarded as giving you a long face this time!" ”

Feeling in his heart, he squeezed out a sneer on the face of the kneeling worker, but this sneer was fleeting, "It's hard work, this master won't lose ......"

When he stood up and spoke, the right hand holding the teacup was clasped behind the teacup and smashed it towards the man's head, and the worker kneeling on the ground just let out a muffled snort and fell to the ground, while Yan Chongnian slammed it more than ten times in succession, until the ground was full of red and white things.

"! How can the merit of the lord give you a share of the dog's thing! ”

As he spoke, wiping the blood stains on the man's hands, Yan Chongnian's face still sneered.

"When Ma'anshan sets up a county in the future, won't that be the ......?"

Yan Chongnian, who had no fear after killing, couldn't help but look forward to the day when he would soar to the emperor and be promoted to become rich in the future.

The foreign electric lamp of the running fire reflected the room brilliantly, and the two brothers Duanfang and Duanxu in the room were sitting upright, while Yan Chongnian was kneeling there and talking about something, and after speaking, he held his hand and picked up the thing.

Looking carefully at the things that Yan Chongnian was holding in his hand, Duanfang's brows furrowed, and the sense of ominousness in his heart gradually thickened, but Yan Chongnian, the slave who was looking at it, still squeezed out some smiles.

"Good boy, I really can't underestimate you."

Yan Chongnian, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to this compliment, and hurriedly kowtowed again.

"They are all ordinary uncles, and the master teaches well!"

Duanxu obviously doesn't have the worry of his eldest brother, he only says that he has finally grasped the handle of the industry now.

"Good! It's rare for you slave to have this clever mind, big brother, I said that I should have let him out to be an official a long time ago, you see that this slave has made this merit now, isn't it ......?"

He suddenly turned his face and asked Yan Chongnian.

And Yan Chongnian, who was prostrating his head again and again, said with a handful of snot and tears.

"Slave...... Slave, slave is willing to serve by the side of the master and the master......"

What he said was a handful of snot and a handful of tears, but in his heart he was happy, and after thinking about the words for a long time, another sentence came out.

"The slave feels that there is nothing more than waiting by the master's side...... More! ”

didn't say a word, and immediately laughed, and pointed his finger at Yan Chongnian.

"You slave, what's the matter, don't you want to be an official! Just thinking about serving by the master's side, what can you do, you have made a great contribution today, and the master who should be rewarded will naturally be rewarded, if you go out, take care of the people of a place, and give the master a face! Big brother, what do you think? ”

Duan Fang nodded, but didn't say anything, the master's laughter and the uncle's nod made Yan Chongnian understand that he was definitely going to be released, so he smiled again.

"A slave and a slave are born to be the slaves of their masters, and they are the lives of their masters...... Follow the master, that is the duty of a slave, and it is the duty of a slave to share worries for the master, not to mention that the slave can set up this function, it is not the arrangement of the master and the master, and the slave dares to be greedy! ”

When the slave is like this, the more meritorious he is, the more he must apply the merit to the master, so as to show the wisdom of the master and the obedience of the slave. The Yan family has been a slave for more than ten generations and more than two hundred years, and Yan Chongnian is naturally very clear about what kind of slave this slave is.

Seeing that the eldest brother looked absent-minded, Duan Xu knew what the eldest brother was thinking, and waved his hand when he looked at Yan Chongnian.

"Chongnian, you step back first, the master and the uncle still have something to discuss!"

After Yan Chongnian left, Duan Xu turned his head to look at his eldest brother.

"Big brother, the evidence is solid now, the industry makes weapons privately, at least they can be convicted of rebellion, and it is ...... to punish the nine clans and raid the house."

"Confused!"

Duan Fang said in a deep voice, and scolded him.

"Second brother, what kind of evidence is this, if someone in the court exonerates him, at most he will be fined some silver! Zhu Jiu clan, that lame wife is an English noblewoman, and she can't go to England! ”

Annoyed by Duanfang's face but with a look of weakness, the more he tried to start, the more he found that the damn cripple seemed to be an eggshell that shattered when touched, but this eggshell was wrapped in bones.

"Three months ago, the commander-in-chief of the British Chinese fleet, Sepp? Lieutenant General Luscho, when he returned from England and went to Weihaiwei, helped the British commander-in-chief of Portsmouth, Admiral Fisher, bring a gift to the lame man, who also specially held a banquet to entertain the Cepus? Lieutenant General Luthcho, not only his daughter-in-law is an English noblewoman, but even the British political leaders are his friends, for such a person, if there is no ironclad evidence that can nail him at once, it will not only be difficult to calm the domestic public, but also difficult to calm the anger of his foreign friends! ”

"Big brother...... Let's ...... Charlie."

Duan Xu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Duan Fang.

"Those Jews are just two stinky money, and in this concession, they have to rely on the support of the British and French consuls in the Qing Dynasty, but the lame friends are all important members of the British and American countries, do you really think those deflated people can help us!"

"Proof! What I want is a mountain of ironclad evidence that can nail the lame man at once, and then the Han officials like Zhang Zhidong and others will be speechless, and the common people will not be able to speak, even those foreigners will not be able to interject if they want to! Do you understand? No...... This flip will make you find something to say! ”

As soon as he raised his hand, he pushed the bolt and bullets on the table to the ground, and Duan Fang's heart was annoyed, that Gonggong Li had been destroyed several times, especially after that lame man made a school with 100 million yuan, not to mention Gonggong Li There are a few people in the capital who are not blushing.

"The gentleman fell, and Jiaqing was full."

Father-in-law Li's letter implied that Lafayette was reciting this ballad, if people are jealous, this sentence is true, but it can be traced to the root, but the lame man forgot his duty to be a slave.

"Big brother, if he really has this heart, then we will ......"

Duanxu's eyes were cold, and he wrote two words on the table with his hands dipped in tea.

"Dick, this ......"

"Big brother, if we ......"

Lowering his voice, Duan Xu spoke to Duan Fang in a voice that was only enough for the two of them to hear clearly, but Duan Fang's eyes were cold when he spoke.

"Second child, I'll think about it again!"

Duan Fang groaned, but the fingers holding the teacup were caressing the rim of the cup, obviously thinking about the second child's suggestion.

"Big Brother ......"

"It's late at night, second child, you go back to sleep first!"

It's late at night, some people want to go to sleep, but some people haven't slept yet, Shanghai Public Concession, the lights in the study room of Chenzhai Garden are still on, two young people in suits are sitting in front of the desk, and Chen Moran, who is facing them, is looking at something.

In the afternoon, after their group of 268 people arrived in Shanghai on this cruise ship, they went directly to the Huangpu Sports School, that is, the two of them, like everyone else, only learned at the welcome meeting that the Shanghai tycoon Chen Moran, who had been helping students for 100 million yuan, was the "Mr. Crutch" they had been longing for for a long time.

After the welcome banquet in the evening, the two of them were invited to Chen's mansion, but since they entered this study, Chen Moran has been looking at the documents, and judging from the frowns he has had from time to time, the contents of the documents are obviously not good news.

After putting down the documents in his hand, Chen Moran raised his eyes to look at Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen, who had been snubbed by him for a few minutes, with some sincere smiles on their faces.

"Cai Songpo and Jiang Baili, I have been famous for a long time for the two of you!"

Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and they glanced at each other, both of them seeing some surprise in each other's eyes.

Chen Moran said psychological words, the two young people in their early twenties in front of him, one is the hero of the country and the modern military god in the history books of later generations, and the other is the military theorist and military educator whose theory guided China's eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the most commendable feature of the two is that in that era when the word "army" was about to come out, they adhered to the morality of pure professional soldiers, which was a rare advantage of [***] people in this era.

"The Sixth Regiment of the Volunteer Army forced Siping Street, won five battles and five victories, annihilated more than 1,000 Russian troops, Songpo, and won this record with 1,000 recruits, although it is not a name for China, but it is also amazing!"

Of course, Chen Moran will not say how famous they are in the later life, but will talk about the example in front of him.

"Baili, you are the chief of staff of the Volunteer Army, although you did not directly participate in the war, but the battle plan for the Russian army formulated is all handled to the right point, such as Songpo entering Siping Street, it can completely destroy the Siping Street railway hub, but it is forced to avoid it, all the advantages are within the acceptable range of the Russian army, if the railway hub is really destroyed, I am afraid that Alekseev will protect the railway anyway, and transfer heavy troops to suppress, which shows the existence and strength of the volunteers, and puts the Russians in a dilemma!"

"It's just the situation! Mr! ”

In the face of praise, Jiang Fangzhen just said calmly, without any merit.

What is luck, perhaps no force is more fortunate than the Volunteers, the Volunteers just showed their existence, the conflict of interests between Russia and the Volunteers intensified to the top, the deadlock in diplomatic negotiations between the two sides, so that the Russian Army needs to ensure the presence of troops to deter the Volunteers, although the Russian Army continues to increase its troops, but in the face of the threat of the Volunteers, it can only choose to deter the Volunteers, as for the "bandits" armed naturally difficult to enter the sight of the Russians, and the Volunteers help the Volunteers for their own interests, and the Volunteers are now completely between the two countries between the peaks and more than enough.

"Okay, no matter the current situation, it's good to have the right strategy, now ......"

Chen Moran smiled and waved his hand, and then continued.

"With the intensification of the contradictions between Russia and Russia, it is inevitable that the Russo-Russian war will break out."

After a pause in his voice, Chen Moran, who was squinting, opened his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, and then asked in a deep voice.

"You two think that once this war breaks out, who will be the ultimate winner!"

Listening to this question, Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen understood that maybe this was the so-called interview.

“…… This war is by no means an ordinary war, but a struggle between the yellow and white races, between Asia and Europe, between small countries and large countries, between constitutionalism and [***], which determines the glory and fall of Asia, the rise and fall of yellow and white, and the strength of constitutionalism. If this war is said to be won by instinct, then the impact on our country will be far greater than any war, and it may even directly determine whether the Qing court can establish a constitution! ”

When Jiang Fangzhen analyzed from the political level, Chen Moran just nodded without saying a word, politics is always boring, and in the end, it was not until a map was laid on the table that Chen Moran leaned over the table and looked at the map.

“…… Russia's main force of the Pacific Fleet in Lushun is a problem that the Russian army must solve; the Russian Pacific Fleet has seven warships and four armored cruisers, which are almost not inferior to the Pacific Fleet, and if the Pacific Fleet cannot be solved, once Russia mobilizes the Baltic Fleet to attack the Combined Fleet, it will be defeated, and if the Pacific Fleet is said to be in a decisive battle, in case of any loss, what will happen to the Baltic ,......Fleet when it comes?

Looking down at the Liaodong military map on the table, which he didn't know where to go, Jiang Fangzhen looked like he was pointing out the country.

"So victory in the first naval battle is crucial! Naval battles directly determine the success or failure of land battles, and in the initial stage, it is possible to ignore whether the army wins ground superiority! However, from Songpa's point of view, the land battle will be won! ”

"Actually, not necessarily, there may not be a naval battle!"

Jiang Fangzhen unexpectedly refuted Cai's opinion, and leaned over the map, pointing to a point in Lushun.

"Now is the ice period of Vladivostok, the main forces of the Russian Pacific Fleet are concentrated in the Port of Arthur, the entrance to the Port of Arthur is less than 300 meters, and the channel is even narrower, if the use of shipwrecks or mines blockade, the enemy can be closed in the port, so that the army can attack Arthur with all its might, and finally not only can avoid the damage of the fleet, but also capture Russian ships to supplement the strength of the fleet after breaking through the place, so as to meet the Russian Baltic Fleet from afar!"

Listening to Jiang Fangzhen's analysis, Chen Moran looked completely stunned when he looked at him, others may not know, but according to the statement in that magazine, the army implemented the "occlusion tactic" against Lushun, and almost the entire campaign evolution did not deviate much from Jiang Fangzhen's inference.

“…… As soon as the combined fleet defeats the Russian fleet that has been transferred from Europe to Asia, the war will be over, and the people will win a complete victory! ”

Jiang Fangzhen took a deep breath, looked at Chen Moran with a shocked face and Cai Ye with a slightly contemplative expression, and took another deep breath before looking at the map on the table, in his eyes, there was no suspense in this war at all, and he would definitely win this war, but the winner would ...... "Sir, in Fang Zhen's opinion, this war can be won in the end, but the ultimate winner is definitely not the one!" ”
