Li Yunzhong pondered for a while, why do European craftsmen pay so much attention to technological innovation, and chicken thieves steal chickens for profit; The freeman Mahan improved the flintlock pistol and was recruited by the king for the sake of fame. Right! It's fame and fortune!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, Li Yunzhong was completely excited, he found a shortcut to quickly build an arsenal, and looked up and said happily to Jack:

"Dear Jack, thank you for reminding me, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, as long as I lure me with fame and fortune, there will definitely be talents to vote, whether it is a firearms expert or all kinds of talents, this is the case."

Li Yunzhong, who had completely figured it out, left the instrument room with a smile as if he had let go of all his thoughts.

Jack looked at Li Yunzhong, who was leaving with his hands behind his back and laughing, confused, where did he mutter, "What did I say?" What did I just say? Shaking his head, he couldn't figure out how to figure it out, and quickly followed.

Qiankun is cold, foggy and snowy, after the heavy snow, enjoy the palace of the previous dynasty has a unique flavor, pavilions, pavilions, causeway forests, palaces and corridors, interrelated, layered, looking at the beautiful teaching area, Li Yunzhong wants to live here for a long time.

Turning back to Jack, who was also admiring the scenery, he asked, "Do you know who used to live here?" ”

Jack had to put down his mind about introducing the instructor, thought for a while, and said: "This place covers a vast area, and the houses are also gorgeous, not ordinary people can afford to live, I think it must be the residence of the richest tycoon in China!" ”

"Jack, it seems that you still don't know enough about China, even if you have gold and silver here, you are also the fat sheep of the ruling class, you can kill whenever you want, you have no ability to resist at all, this was once the place where the emperor of the previous dynasty lived, an emperor who ruled the whole of China!"

Jack nodded and shook his head, still unconvinced, and asked, "This does seem to be a place where an emperor lives, but this palace is too small, and there are only a few palaces, and it seems that it is not worthy of the identity of the king of a country!" You know, I have also heard Chinese merchants depict the Beijing Imperial Palace in Shanghai, and the Old Summer Palace and Summer Palace alone are not comparable here! ”

These foreign devils have been thinking about the Old Summer Palace so early, no wonder they will have three lights there as soon as they enter Beijing: rob the light, move the light, and burn it all.

Li Yunzhong cursed the braggart businessmen, and he didn't say anything to the foreign devils, and he lost countless national treasures in vain.

Pointing to the houses in the distance, Li Yunzhong explained, "From the step you enter the inner city is the scope of the palace, when the previous dynasty fell, in order to control Nanjing, the Qing demon will be a lot of Manchu people to live, over time the palace will only be left with these ruins, no longer the past is brilliant, beautiful!" ”

Jack sighed, "What a pity! No one in Europe would have agreed to do so, preferring to keep these palaces. ”

Walking to the teaching area, Jack introduced: "Your Highness, I have assigned 50 cadets into two classes, and there are only 10 instructors for the time being, all of which are carefully selected by me, all of whom are graduates of the military academy, and those instructors from Yezi Road let them stay in the foreign gun team to continue training the foreign gun team." ”

Li Yunzhong added: "Since there is a shortage of instructors, you should try your best to train the students in this area, and maybe when the second batch of students enter the school, you can select some people to be trainee instructors." ”

Li Yunzhong walked into a classroom, and the interpreter kept translating what the foreign instructor said, and the 25 students sat quietly in their seats, as if they were listening attentively.

Looking at this funny scene, Li Yunzhong really doubted whether these students could learn real knowledge.

It seems that a foreign language course will have to be added.

Walking out of the classroom, Li Yunzhong said: "Jack, the school should focus the curriculum on civil engineering, and add some physical fitness and sports programs, right!" You have to add a foreign language course as soon as possible, and I will send some excellent students to Europe for further study. ”

"Language teachers are easy to find in Shanghai, and there are many homeless people in Europe who come to the Far East with the purpose of making a fortune, and after arriving here, some people are really rich, and some people can only work as small clerks, and if they are hired with high salaries, there are still many people who are willing to come to Nanjing." Jack nodded in agreement, "However, unless the consent of Mr. Wen Han, the minister to China, to send students to China, there will be no arrangements in China." ”

"Of course"

Li Yunzhong walked to another classroom, and saw Zuo Zongtang, Lin Daji, Zhang Weikun, William, and Milton talking to each other through translation. Li Yunzhong walked over quietly.

It turned out that the instructor was giving the students a tactical reasoning course, and William and the others were not willing to be lonely to participate!

"Your front is too long, from Xuzhou to Luzhou, from Luzhou to Nanchang, from Nanchang to Hangzhou, your Han King's troops are still too small, if the Qing State concentrates superior forces to break through one of them, it can quickly reach Nanjing, and then it will inevitably affect the situation on other fronts, and it will be out of control." William pointed to the distance to Nanking with his finger on the battlefield.

Lin Daji laughed 'sneering' and said to the translator: "You tell him like this, one of my Han soldiers can fight 100 green battalion soldiers, even if you divide your troops to attack Beijing, it's no problem!" ”

Listening to the translator's words, William blushed and shouted, his hands fluttered wildly, even the translator couldn't hear what he said, and Milton on the side said: "Even if the Qing soldiers are weak in combat, as long as they are equipped with guns and artillery, a little training will definitely break through your defense line." ”

Li Yunzhong looked at the map and thought for a moment, the battle line of the Han Dynasty is indeed a bit too long, and it must end in one or two directions, otherwise if the Qing army is really allowed to break through to the city of Nanjing, not only will the results of last year's battle be wiped out, but if the Qing army encounters any danger in the future, it will send elites to encircle Nanjing and force our army to return to help, which will outweigh the losses!

Seeing Li Yunzhong's arrival, Lin Daji and Zhang Suimou behaved more actively, these two foreigners were their opponents, and they were speechless and depressed after a while.

Jack immediately stepped forward to comfort William and Milton, put his arms around their necks and said, "Man, don't be so frustrated, their Far East deduces war differently than we in Europe, and likes to exaggerate things such as the will to fight, the brave soldiers of generals, and so on. ”

William smiled bitterly and added: "It will also despise the combat effectiveness of the enemy's army, and the three-point chance of winning can be deduced into five points, and the five-point chance of winning can be deduced into nine points!" ”

"This shows that you already know yellow-skinned people very well!" Jack joked, "They've all been fighting like that before, what a strange way." ”

Zuo Zongtang saw Li Yunzhong pondering on the sand table and map, and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, although these foreigners look strange, what they said is quite reasonable, although our army has won in various battlefields, but the gains outweigh the losses, the soldiers are tired and war-weary, and in the long run, the Han ......."

While nodding, while pulling out the banner of the Qing army in Hangzhou with his hand, Li Yunzhong handed the flag to Zuo Zongtang, and said cautiously: "Zhejiang is a land of money and grain, and now it is surrounded by our army on both sides, this is really a gift from God, I plan to concentrate superior forces to capture Zhejiang and Fujian, then the southern front is as stable as Mount Tai, how are you?" ”

Zuo Zongtang took a fancy to the Jiangxi battlefield, and admonished: "Jiangxi is the barrier of Nanjing, and the Qing demon forces in Jiangxi are empty, it is better to capture Jiangxi and connect with Anhui and Jiangsu first, then Zhejiang, Fujian, and Liangguang can be determined!" ”

Li Yunzhong thought about more than this, pointing to the coast of Zhejiang and said: "If the Qing demon is entrenched in Zhejiang for a long time, it will inevitably be supported by foreigners' firearms, Zhang Guoliang can fight well, if he is allowed to form a large-scale foreign gun team, he will definitely go north to attack Shanghai and Suzhou, and then our army will not only have to evacuate Jiangxi, but even Nanjing's defense will be weakened!" ”

"Didn't the foreign minister already promise not to sell the Qing Demon guns again? Are they not keeping their word? Zhang Sui looked at a few foreigners on the side unkindly.

Seeing that Jack, William and other foreigners looked at them puzzled, Li Yunzhong smiled and eased the atmosphere, "The foreigner minister may keep his promise, but the businessman is pursuing profit, where it is advantageous, there will be their figure, we can buy guns and cannons at a high price when we capture the coast, and the foreigner will not go near and far to find a demon to trade." ”
