Chapter 77: Meris
[77] Meris
In the next two days, Yao Fan not only stared at the business, but also quickly recorded the goods in the warehouse, which was to continue to train his fellow villagers who were not favored by Bai Xiaoqi.
Seeing that the weather had not yet come out, the guys stood tall on the playground, sweat wetting the blue polyester cotton denim long-sleeved trousers, and then they were dried in the sun, and white salt stains spread on the clothes like a map.
As Li Hainiu disbanded, the guys gathered into small groups of three or five, and ran to sit on the ground in the shade of a slippery board room on the edge of the playground.
"Owner, what's the use of us practicing walking and practicing stations every day, running around the mountains? Why don't you find a master who is proficient in guns and sticks, and learn some real kung fu too. Liu Jinbao sat down next to Yao Fan and asked, a big guy sitting around.
Now all the big guys feel that their identity is not ordinary. In their words, they have been on the battlefield with the owner, and they have also worshipped, and they are all honored to receive color photos of the owner!
If others want to ask what the last battle was and what story they worshipped, they will tilt their heads and hum in their mouths, "Then how can I sue you." He ignored him and walked away. Every time there is a break between exercises, more than 30 big guys gather around Yao Fan, and the stars are holding the moon. The guys felt that even if Yao Fan didn't speak, it would be an identity and an honor to be able to sit next to him.
"Jinbao, you have to calm down, this thing is the basic skill of the army. As for physical training, it is the duty of a soldier. In addition to the Eight Banners soldiers who carry cages and birds, all the soldiers in the world have to boil their bodies. Only when you are in good health can you fight if you win, and if you can't win, you can run, and you can live. ”
"The owner said it well!" Li Jundao.
"Why can't the soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom beat the foreigners? The anti-religious soldiers burned the Old Summer Palace? It's because I don't practice queues, I don't practice running. In order to emphasize the importance of physical training and queues, Yao Fan had to contact Dali, hoping that the guys would pay attention to training.
"Ao, I said why is the owner staring at the practice so much, it turns out that there is a reason here." Liu Jinbao seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand, and nodded.
"Manatee." Yao Fandao.
"Owner, here!"
"Queue and running, I see that everyone is a little tired of practicing, you add some subjects." Yao Fandao.
"Boss, the training syllabus you gave me is these trainings, and there are no other subjects." Lehi Cow
Yao Fan patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, I also brought some equipment this time, let's put it on." ”
So Yao Fan beckoned his hometown recruits to the warehouse and took out the horizontal bar and parallel bar equipment brought this time, which were purchased online by Yao Fan, and it was very convenient to assemble.
As the deep pits on the side of the playground are dug one by one, the cement is poured, the horizontal bars and parallel bars are inserted into the cement and fixed, the sand is buried below, and the bolts are fixed on the top, which is considered to be completed.
The hundred townsmen are now all strong and strong by Yao Fan, and it really doesn't take much effort to do this little work, and it will be completed in two hours.
Yao Fan said: "Wait for the cement to dry first, it is estimated that it will be ready to use tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, let's change our clothes today, and then practice throwing." ”
Yao Fan led people to take out a large number of 5oo grams of wooden grenades from the warehouse. These are the equipment for school track and field training, army recruit training, easy to buy on the Internet, in order to meet the weight standard and simulate the reality, the warhead part is a cast iron sleeve, and after the wooden handle is inserted in the back, it is fixed with screws from the side hole of the cast iron, which is very firm.
"These boxes are training grenades, 1oo in a box. Inside these boxes are kettles, 5o in a box. Fourth, you move these boxes to the edge of the playground and find a board room to put them away. ”
"Fifth platoon leader He Shicheng, you take the people in your class to move 2o boxes of liberation shoes, a box of 3o pairs, it should be enough to match all kinds of yards."
"Here are cotton socks, a box of 300 pairs, as well as autumn clothes and pants, a box of 2o sets, and shirts and pants, also a box of 2o sets, manatee, you take your platoon, according to one person, two sets of each type to move over......"
After some tossing, enough supplies were moved to the side of the playground, and Yao Fan began to divide them with five squad leaders.
After receiving the liberation shoes and socks, the guys excitedly tried them on one by one.
Yao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that there was no need to buy shoes and socks from local clothing stores, and a pair of cloth shoes here in 1875 cost seven dollars of silver! The best double-layer thick cloth mille-feuille shoes cost 3 taels! The guys usually work and train and wear money, but now many people have worn holes in the toes of their shoes and patched them, and they are about to appear again to form a prototype called the Hanako Army.
The guys saw that they were getting more and more things in their hands, their hands were full, and they also hung a kettle around their necks, so some people were excited, crying and shouting to kowtow to the owner Yao Fan to thank him, and Yao Fan was angry and drank it quickly.
"You are all village warriors! It's a soldier! Don't think of yourself as an ordinary guy in the future! ”
"In the future, you will fight side by side with me." Yao Fan said loudly.
Then, in the afternoon, the throwing training began, which seemed simple to outsiders, but Yao Fan, who had been in charge of the militia training of the steel group company, knew that this project was not easy.
"Everyone is optimistic about my movements!
The first step is to deactivate the bomb, take out the throwing bomb and put it on the right shoulder, everyone watch my movements, imitate it with the instrument in your hand, and experience it yourself.
The second step is to look at it, the right hand is deflected backwards, the right foot is stepped back, and the ground is kicked! Send crotch! Swift turn! Yes, that's it, let's learn from me.
The third step is to wave your arms and buckle your wrists, you see, first make the body into a reverse bow shape, and then quickly kick the ground, hold your chest up, and wave your arms! Use your big arm and your small arm to do your best! The moment you make a move, you tuck your abdomen, snap your wrists, and ......"
Yao Fanjiao's head was covered with sweat, no matter what time and space this thing was in, it was not an easy job to teach the soldiers to make all the movements standard and beautiful.
"Boss, what are we going to do here? Are you going to smash people with this iron-headed wooden stick? Li Jun was puzzled.
"Well, everyone practice hard, this is our magic weapon for fighting! Anyone who can't throw 1oo feet is not qualified! It's all a soldier! Throwing 11o feet is considered good, throwing 12o feet should be praised! Yao Fan said.
So Yao Fan led people to find a piece of leveled wasteland, and measured 3o meters, 35 meters, 4o meters, 45 meters, and 5o meters with an engineering tape measure......
The distances were marked with white plaster powder, and a small circle was drawn on each integer distance, and the men began to practice throwing.
"The owner, isn't it just farther than anyone else?" Lehi Niu said.
"It's better to be far away and accurate."
As a result, Li Hainiu came up and threw it 9o meters away, and Yao Fan was stunned.
"It's kind of like a flying locust stone, but it's not all like it. The flying stone on horseback is to smash the door of the human face, smash the stun and capture, and the emphasis is on the dark! Permit! Vicious!
As long as you throw it far, I think you hit your head, and you may not be able to stun, and the farther you throw, the easier it is to be dodged. Li Hainiu calmly analyzed in Yao Fan's applause.
"Manatee, in the future, if you take a flying thunder in your hand and throw it to explode, of course, the farther you throw it, the better." Yao Fan didn't hide it either.
"Owner, you mean ......" Li Hainiu looked at Yao Fan's eyes and suddenly realized.
"I have heard that Seng Lingqin was defeated by the French and the British at the Bali Bridge, and the French had a kind of grenadier, who carried a thunder in his palm, came up and threw it, and the jade was burned, and the cavalry was invincible, and they were frightened and could not fight. Isn't the owner going to bring the foreigner's palm thunder to us all in the future? "Li Hainiu really deserves to have fought a war, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs go.
"That's right, this thing is my Yao Jiaming, and it doesn't need to be ignited, as long as you pull the buckle, it can smoke, and it can explode in about five seconds, so you have to throw it out quickly, and you have to throw it far and accurately."
"Owner! You can rest assured! I must train everyone to be strong and accurate. ”
"You have to pay attention to the ways and means, the movements I teach are the most labor-saving and standard, and they are the easiest to practice and learn quickly."
"I remember the posture you taught, don't worry, leave it to me." Li Hainiu is confident.
Then Yao Fan watched the throwing of the Xiangyong Regiment, except for three people who didn't throw 3o meters because of their incorrect posture, the rest even if their posture was very bad, they all threw it very far, and more than half of them threw 5o meters.
"In the end, it is the working people who were born from working since childhood, as long as they are well fed and drunk, the strength in their hands is different, and their postures are messy, and they can be thrown far away." Yao Fan sighed.
Until the evening, after having dinner in Yaojiazhuang, Yao Fan and a few of his men had just returned to the city, and He Wannian sent someone to invite him.
Yao Fan had to rush over, only to know that a guest had arrived.
When Yao Fan saw these two people in the back hall of Yuchun Firm, he couldn't help but be happy.
"I really want to sleep, someone sent a pillow, I was looking for you, you sent it to the door yourself." Yao Fan thought with a smile while listening to He Wannian's introduction.
One of the two people who came was obviously a foreigner, and although his head was dark, his facial features were completely undeceivable.
"Who is this?" Yao Fan looked at He Wannian.
"This is Mr. Meris, is the head of the German American foreign company, he heard that our Yuchun business came with new goods, specially from Shanghai to see the goods, but after reading the refusal to leave, must see Yao Dongjia you." He Wannian came up and whispered to his ear.
"Gooden Aben!" Yao Fan opened his mouth with the German phrase 'good evening'.
As soon as these words came out, the foreigner was stunned, and after two seconds of stupefiing, he was immediately overjoyed, jumped up and bowed slightly to Yao Fan, and bowed his head politely.
"Mr. Yao, I didn't expect you to speak German, and it is really the most pleasant thing to hear such a cordial greeting in such a distant place as Qingguo." Meris said excitedly in German.
He wanted to see if Yao Fan could only say hello, but even if Yao Fan could only say hello, it was enough to make him feel happy, and he felt that this proved that this person had a good impression of the Germans. In these years, there are very few people in the Qing Kingdom who know foreign languages, and even if they are lucky enough to find one, they only know English.
Yao Fan had taken a German test in college, and when he was working in a steel group, he had exchanged work with German engineers who came to China to install equipment for more than half a year, so there was no problem in daily conversations.
Yao Fan opened his mouth and said in slightly stiff and somewhat southern German-Baden German: "It is a rare happiness for me to be able to meet German friends who have come to China from thousands of miles away. Welcome, my friend, please be seated. ”
Now Merris is satisfied, simply very satisfied!
"This is a cultured Chinese! What's more, this is a Chinese with amazing language talent and proficiency in German! I bet that if I told other German businessmen in China, they would be more than happy to be business partners with him. My God! He is my golden key to open the door to China! ”
Meris's heart was overjoyed, and he seemed to have forgotten the fiasco of his previous investment in Taiwan.
Originally from Hamburg, James Merris was engaged in the trade of opium and cotton textiles imported from China, and camphor was purchased from China for sale to the West. However, seeing that foreign companies were flocking to China, and the competition between opium and textiles was becoming increasingly fierce, he began to consider investing in the reclamation industry, but soon because the reclamation business of investing in Yilan, Taiwan failed, and the company went bankrupt due to debt, and he himself had to go to Shanghai to work as a comprador for Jardine Matheson.
