Chapter 1 The Road
The blue sea and blue sky, a long slip of more than a dozen sailing steamers cut the waves, drawing a white line.
The new military battalion went to the sea outside the customs, and the war between Britain, France and Russia was still unending, and when they heard that the firearms battalion was rushing to fight the Russians outside the customs, Bao Ling helped the new army to requisition more than a dozen ships.
The fleet will dock at Zhigu (Tianjin), and the new army will go out by land, so that the foreigner fleet will not take the opportunity to explore the Niuzhuang area; Second, to send Rong'er and the people in the house back to Beijing.
A few days ago, the imperial court finally issued an edict, and Ye Zhao was appointed as the commander of the third battalion of the deputy capital of Manchuria with the red flag, and led the three battalions of "Zhenwei", "Zhenwu" and "Zhenhe" to go to the "Jingyi Atmosphere and Suibianyuan" outside the Guan.
The official is still the second grade, and the name of the new army has also been formalized, the artillery battalion, and the meaning of the edict is that the Han people in the battalion will be incorporated into the Han army flag sooner or later, and Xianfeng wants to train a firearms battalion composed of the Eight Banners Army.
Artillery battalion? Ye Zhao was also a little helpless when he thought about it, if there was a real artillery in the future, what should he call it?
The boat room swayed gently, the room was spacious, the ship building was three floors, the ventilation was good, and the sea and sky were the same outside the glass window. Rong'er was standing in front of the window, looking into the distance with a clairtelescope.
Ye Zhao sat at the wooden table, closed his eyes and recuperated, pondering the prospects of the Divine Artillery Battalion, in fact, he had trained such a brave soldier, but his own poor Xianfeng said that he could withdraw it, no matter how elite he was, it was not your pro-army, whether it was Gang'an in the camp, or whether it was Shenbao, he seemed to be loyal to himself, but this is all loyalty under the premise of loyalty to the monarch, if you say that you rebelled and became the emperor now, then no one joked about your own head.
Another example is the Guanwai Tuanyong, the old master Han Jinchun, who is also not his own private army, it is a local group training approved by the imperial court, and the old master is turning silver everywhere in the squire, which is under the banner of the emperor in the imperial court, if you play the banner of Ye Zhao, will any squire buy it?
Even if Han Jinchun, Brother Han, says that he will sell this surname to you, it doesn't mean that if you rebel now, he will rebel against you, and the friendship has not yet reached that point; Second, the idea of Zhongjun is deeply ingrained in the minds of these people, how can they be willing to follow you up the knife mountain and under the oil pot after seeing a few times, and they don't even care about the nine clans? Even if Brother Han is willing to lose his head with you, the soldiers have their own thoughts, which is completely different from bewitching the peasants who can't eat.
But the soldiers still have to be trained, at least you have hope to grasp them, and these armies will definitely bring some changes to the Qing Dynasty, and you can only find opportunities in these changes step by step to see if you can really change history.
Whether it is studying abroad, education, or setting up a factory, it is really slowly enlightened in the people, and in the same way, I don't know what the final result will be, but if I think about it, the impact will always be positive.
The matchmaker's armament, before she and her husband and wife gave her firearms, the same reason, anyway, with the matchmaker's comprehension, the changes brought by this armed force to history should be positive, as for the husband and wife, let alone mention, more should be sent, and from the information obtained in Guangzhou, the matchmaker did not disappoint herself.
Of course, these positive influences on history may not be positive for you Ye Zhao personally, it depends on whether you can judge the situation and make proper use of it.
The roads are paved one by one, but the result is not something that you can control, so I am afraid that I will be more and more tired in the future, and I can't be as lazy as before.
In fact, in the past 20 years in the capital, I have also had some white dreams, such as raising some orphans and raising an army, but after all, it is just a white dream.
Even if the prince and brother raise a private army, even if no one finds out, although it is impossible for this to happen, but what kind of thinking do you inculcate in this army? Rebellion? Overthrow of the Manchus? It's a big joke.
As for what kind of orphan education, etc., it is even more nonsense, but when it is really time to send people to study abroad, there are many children in church orphanages in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and they have received Western enlightenment education since childhood, which can be described as saving time and effort. Do you raise orphans yourself? Do you still want to be an enlightenment teacher? Educating them since they were teenagers? And then send them out to study abroad? But the problem is that there are no foreigners in the capital at all, do you want the old master to go to Shanghai to contact the foreigners? Send the children out to study abroad from the capital? Not to mention whether the old master is willing to go or not, whether he can communicate with foreigners, and whether he can persuade foreigners to help him send children to study abroad. Let's just say that sending a group of children from the capital to Yibang is a felony to be found out, and the old master also ran away?
As for running a business, you started it yourself at the age of sixteen? In the capital? Before dealing with Yangyi, what kind of business could I do?
The three tests are inferior and are looked down upon, and I happened to meet the matchmaker, and I came into contact with the world I never thought of, and my surname that has always been lazy became lively.
As for being able to get the opportunity to go out of Beijing at the age of twenty, it was really beyond my imagination, and this is also thanks to the rebellion of the Little Knife Society, which caused a dispute between the management of Shanghai Customs and the foreigners, otherwise I, the prince and brother, don't know how long I will stay in the capital.
Since leaving Beijing, it can be said that it has been relatively smooth, but when it comes to planning, I really don't have a comprehensive and detailed plan, how can I have any plan? When the great man in history, Xiaohe, only showed his sharp corners, who would have a plan for future development? Who knows what the future holds? Not to mention that he is not a great man, judging the situation, the right time and place.
I know the general trend of history, but I can only pave a road that may have a positive impact on history and myself, and what will the world become in the end? Who could have foreseen? I just hope that it is not too [***], more advanced, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
The road outside the gate has now encountered a heavy blow, Brother Han was killed, and the regiment lost more than half, but the danger does also represent an opportunity, when can I want to get out of the customs, but finally waited for the opportunity, as a commander to lead the troops to fight bravely, you can quickly unite people's hearts and establish prestige, otherwise you have been training in Guangzhou, you are the deputy commander of these soldiers to listen to you, but who still remembers you after withdrawing?
It's just a half-commander himself, okay?
Alas, it would be nice if the matchmaker was around, she was a good fighter.
And now?
The shadows of the senior generals of the Divine Artillery Battalion flashed in Ye Zhao's mind one by one.
Gang'an, the assistant leader of the third battalion, that is, his deputy, is very steady, and he wants to come to the battlefield, which is also this style.
Zhao Jingzhong, the leader of the Zhenwei battalion, has a beard on his face, I heard that he is a fierce general, but he often drinks and makes trouble and beats the soldiers, but he is not very popular, he is more lustful as his life, and he likes to play with girls after the war. I don't know if it's a rough person who loves this kind of problem, but there are some founding generals of the republic who are more excessive than him.
Zhenwu battalion management with Shenbao, he just carried it, he repeatedly escaped the flag and cherished it, plus there are a few military exploits worth writing, he should be a general with both wisdom and bravery.
Zhenhe battalion management with Harwich, the blue flag man, is also in front of his own master and closed his mouth to the minion, the original promotion of him, is really because the new military camp available talent is not much, willing to be used by himself even less, but although he is good at drilling the camp, there is always a clever force, when fighting pirates, he has a few good ideas, but he can't be underestimated too much. But for fear of encountering a tough battle, he fled faster than the soldiers.
Even Harwich, who is the least qualified of these four people, has more experience in leading troops than himself, how can he really tame them? Don't look at how respectful they are to themselves, but if they really want to lead troops to fight, these four people are afraid that they will look down on themselves a little.
As a layman, how can he lead an insider?
Thinking about Ye Zhao's headache again, he suddenly felt a chill in his temples, and his two delicate little hands pressed on it and rubbed it gently.
"Xianggong, are you better?" The childish voice is naturally Rong'er.
Ye Zhao closed his eyes and said with a smile: "How do you know that I have a headache?" ”
Rong'er's little hand gently stroked Ye Zhao's eyebrows and forehead, and said, "I see that your eyebrows are hanging, so I know that Xianggong must have a headache." ”
The center of the eyebrows was tickled by Rong'er's little hands, but Rong'er asked again: "Rakshasa people, are Rakshasa people powerful?" "Obviously I'm worried.
Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, keep it and win a beautiful battle." ”
Rong'er didn't squeak, but her small body slowly leaned on Ye Zhao's body, Ye Zhao smiled, hugged her, and said with a smile: "After returning to the capital, you have to sleep lazy every day, otherwise God will want me to defeat the battle!" ”
Rong'er covered Ye Zhao's mouth with her small hand, and said hurriedly: "What, why just talk nonsense." ”
Ye Zhao laughed, and said in his heart that Rong'er should worry about going to the capital, both to sleep lazily and not to be seen by Prince Fujin, this time I am afraid that Prince Fujin will be shocked, right?
