Early in the morning, standing in the school field next to the Yangtze River, Yang Qiu faintly felt a chill ().

After visiting the gun factory yesterday, he was indeed a little disappointed, so he had such a feeling before leaving, seeing that the Yangxia War was close at hand, even if he took out the advanced equipment in the data machine at this moment, with the current technology and equipment of Hanyang, even the gun making is a pure manual process, I am afraid that even the quality and output of the production may not be able to meet the needs.

Without these things, what can you do to face Beiyang led by Yuan Shikai and Feng Guozhang? Do you really want to watch the Yangxia War smash this place, and then Yuan Datou will have another roll and bag party and take away most of the skilled workers and machines? If this is the end result, why do you have to pay so many times to muddy waters? It's better to go to the United States now and be a fool.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic Yang Qiuzhen didn't know what to do, so he subconsciously pulled out his pistol, thinking about whether he would simply kill Yuan Shikai single-handedly.

"Browning M1911, literally this gun should have been produced this year, good luck for adults." Just as he pulled out his gun, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind him.

Yang Qiu's heart was shocked, and he turned his head to see that Yue Peng had already put on training civilian clothes and came to his side: "Yes, it was given to my uncle by an American businessman for self-defense, and my uncle heard that I was going to join the army, so he gave it to me ()." "While talking, he looked at this guy, is this also a crossing party?

"Yesterday's words of the adults in the gun factory are indeed deafening, I heard Xiaohu say that Su Hongsheng didn't sleep all night after returning home, it's ridiculous that many people now praise it every time they meet Hanyang, as if it is amazing, but the adult is the first to sing the opposite." Yue Peng said with a smile, yesterday Zhang Wenjing came back and told Yang Qiu about borrowing a gun in the gun factory, but it made him feel very novel, you must know that no matter who in China has coveted Hanyang after watching it again over the years, only this standard who is younger than himself seems to be very disdainful in his words.

"It's okay, it's not the crossing party." Yang Qiu put the gun back into the holster and said with a smile: "Hanyang should be praised, no matter what, he has created an industrial precedent, and I feel that since Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, the successors of the two adults, they have forgotten the essence of the Westernization movement, and began to use Westernization as the name of intrigue, completely forgetting the original intention." ”

"Well said!"

"What? I figured it out, and I'm ready to compliment me, I don't want to eat this set. ”

First the soldiers were fighting, and then a gun pierced the halo-filled Hanyang, Yue Peng had already been impressed by this new standard, and said with a serious face: "Yue Peng, thank you, sir." ”

The thoughts just now haven't passed yet, so seeing that Yue Peng became serious, Yang Qiu thought of the disappointed Hanyang again, and waved his hand with some interest: "Thank me for what, I also talk about it, and nothing can be changed." ”

Seeing that Yang Qiu didn't seem to be in a high mood, Yue Peng said: "Soldiers should fight, as long as they fight, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they will have a clear conscience." ”

"Yes, soldiers should fight, fight!"

Yang Qiu's shoulders trembled slightly, and after silently reading a few words, the corners of his mouth gradually softened. What he said is right, he fought for it, if he still failed, then he was worthy of it, not to mention that he still had the army in front of him, and Shen Shukai was waiting for him on the other side, he might not be defeated!

Seeing that Yang Qiu's face had recovered to be pleasant, Yue Peng thought of something and suddenly took a step forward: "My lord, there is a sentence that Yue Peng doesn't know whether to ask or not?" ”

"What?"

"Are you a party member?"

"Me? Party members? Yang Qiu pointed to his nose, and saw that Yue Peng was a little nervous, and immediately understood, probably because of the words of Lei Meng and the factory yesterday that made them stretch out a trace of association, so he hurriedly smiled: "If I am a member of the party, I am afraid I will also be a traitor ()." ”

Yue Peng thought about it, Yang Qiu was recognized by everyone as a great hero of the imperial court, and he also killed the leader of the party in Chengdu, and he was assassinated himself, judging from his training methods during this time, if it was a party member, I am afraid they would have become a climate long ago, but why did Yang Qiu want to maintain Lei Meng?

Seeing that Yue Peng was silent, Yang Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "No one likes the current situation, but if they don't like it, they may not be party members, maybe there is a third way?" ”

"The third way? Is it constitutional? But the constitutionalists are even more unreliable? ”

"Homecoming!" Yue Peng just looked at Yang Qiu in astonishment, and before he could understand it, a loud shout suddenly came from his ears, and he turned around and ran backwards like a reflex, only to find that Zhang Wenjing and others had also come, and the school field was already full of soldiers.

"Stand upright!"

Qi Shu's standing voice was much neater than yesterday, but his eyes were mostly still unruly, Yang Qiu didn't see this, because he found that only He Xi was present among the three battalion commanders, and the other two were all absent.

"It's good, I know how to fight coldly." Yang Qiu snorted coldly, turned his head and said, "Camp Chief He, Chen Guan Belt and Fruit Guan Belt." ”

"Lord Huibiaotong, the two pipe belt adults suddenly felt unwell in the rain yesterday, so they couldn't come to the drill in time, and I hope that Lord Haihan." He Xi still had a smile on his face, as if he had completely forgotten what happened yesterday, and even those officers and soldiers pricked up their ears, as if they wanted to see how Lord Biao Tong was angry.

"It's okay, those who eat whole grains, who doesn't have a headache and brain fever ()." Yang Qiu waved his hand unexpectedly, not angry or annoyed, as if he had already known, grinning at the corners of his mouth and lowering his eyebrows and worried: "I didn't expect it!" Brother, I was newly appointed yesterday, and I was also a little anxious, which made several managers suffer. ”

Suffer! Why is this guy so shameless? It's us who are unlucky! Qiu Wenbin stood in the front row, and he heard it clearly, and he hated to go up and slap him twice, he was a soldier yesterday, and he came to sell his bereavement today, this lackey is really hateful!

Before the soldiers finished complaining, even He Xi felt that Yang Qiu's tone was sincere and he should flatter a few words, when he heard a shout in his ear: "Zhang Wenjing." ”

"Here."

Seeing Zhang Wenjing running over in a hurry, He Xi suddenly felt bad, but Yang Qiu deliberately amplified his voice: "Chen and Guo are working hard for the people, and they are accidentally infected with the new army after training hard, as a standard, this matter started because of me, and the official is really sad in his heart, but unfortunately I have no time to train the soldiers under the orders of the Admiral and Li Xietong, so you will go to buy some good supplements after the exercise, and go to visit the two adults instead of the official and the soldiers." ”

"That's right."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiu turned around and deliberately looked at He Xi: "You tell the two pipe bands, although the official really hopes that they will come back as soon as possible to lead the troops, but for the sake of their bodies, the official will be on leave for a month!" Recuperate, don't make a mistake! In addition, tell the two adults that their health is related to all the officers and men of the 42 standards, and it is a major matter in the army! If you can't take care of your body, military law is engaged!

In addition, in view of the fact that the two adults need to recuperate, and the daily affairs of the two battalions also need to be taken care of, you will temporarily replace the second battalion, Yue Peng will temporarily replace the third battalion, Lei Meng and Bingwen will be promoted to the standard commander Ma Ben, Hu Laosan will take over as the captain of the law enforcement team, and He Xi will temporarily take over the position of the deputy commander of the first battalion! After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he deliberately walked up to He Xi and asked, "Lord He, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?" ”

He Xi was speechless when he was asked, and his mouth was even more wide, he didn't expect Yang Qiu to be angry or annoyed, but he directly let the two of them take a month off, and before he could speak, he became an adjutant commander, which was equivalent to putting him on the opposite side of the other two battalion commanders!

"Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot!"

Yue Peng and the others didn't expect that Yang Qiu just said yesterday that he wanted to give himself a chance, and today he took the opportunity to quickly promote himself to battalion commander, although it was only temporary, but Guo Erxing could fight for himself? ! When he comes back, the third battalion, I'm afraid it won't be the original three battalions!

"By the way, there is another thing to trouble Lord He, yesterday I went to the gun factory and saw that Ma Dabiao's security team has no discipline at all, how can such a unit take on the responsibility of protecting and defending? So please tell him later, from tomorrow, the security team will go out with him for morning exercises, and then go to work. ”

He Xi's face darkened, is this guy's means too powerful, and the 42 standard has not been completed, so he has brought Ma Dabiao's security team over. Although he had the heart to refute, he couldn't find any excuse, Guo and Chen were "sick", and according to the military order, temporary manpower could indeed be arranged to take over, as for the security team, which was originally controlled by 42 standards, a sentence of discipline was pulled over to practice, and even the Admiral could not find any reason to refute.

Just as He Xi was thinking about how to deal with it, a hurried sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind: "42 standard Yang Qiu received the order." ”

"Here."

"Yang Biaotong, Lord Admiral ordered you to go to the Admiral's Mansion immediately for a meeting."

Yang Qiu took the warrant, was a little surprised, and quietly took out a piece of ocean stuff and gave it to the soldier who came to deliver the letter, and asked, "This brother, what happened?" ”

"Don't hide it from Yang Biaotong, just now the news came out from the telegraph bureau that there was chaos in Sichuan." The herald soldier put the ocean into his sleeve, and said close to his ear: "Governor Zhao Erfeng caused a riot when he arrested the Baoluhui rebel party the day before yesterday, and ordered to kill dozens of rioters on the spot. ”

Yang Qiu's head was about to explode, he thought that the Baolu Movement would not collapse so easily because of Wang Tianjie's defeat, but it should delay giving himself a little more time to prepare, but now it seems that history is really not so easy to change easily.
