Bi Huaqing's real name is Bi Naer. In May of the eighth year of Xianfeng, the Anglo-French alliance that provoked the second ** war approached the city of Tianjin and threatened to attack Beijing, and Binel was one of the French officers. Subsequently, in order to suppress the Taiping Rebellion, Li Hongzhang's Huai army was stationed in Shanghai and began to be equipped with Western-style weapons. At this time, Biner was stranded in Shanghai, and Li Hongzhang hired him as a military instructor in Liu Mingchuan's department.

At first, Liu Mingchuan was not worried about Biner, after all, Biner was a foreigner.

And the second ** war that has just ended is a shame for the whole of China. Binel is precisely one of the main culprits, the French. However, Binel's watch soon impressed Liu Mingchuan.

Immediately after taking office, Binel embarked on the sergeant reform of the inscription battalion. He helped Liu Mingchuan eliminate the old shotguns, purchase new rifles and new artillery from Europe, and set up a foreign artillery battalion. The Inscription Battalion also changed its mode of operation to use new rifles to carry out assaults under the cover of artillery.

Binel is proficient in military affairs and has a high military element. Not only is the military training serious, but there is no arrogance that Westerners have in dealing with the Qing army. With the deepening of mutual understanding, Binel gradually gained the importance of Liu Ming's transmission, and was promoted from a military instructor to the pipe band of the foreign artillery battalion, that is, the leader of the firearms unit of the inscription battalion. And the "Ming Army", under the leadership of Liu Mingchuan, who has a strong style, also showed extraordinary combat effectiveness on the battlefield. In the battle against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he conquered Jiangyin, Changzhou and other places.

After that, Biner followed Liu Mingchuan to fight in the north and south, winning more and losing less, and making outstanding achievements. He has been praised by the Qing court many times, and he has been awarded the title of "Fashshan Abatulu".

Although the title of "Baturu" in the Qing court after the Xianfeng year has been flooded, Biner is definitely the only foreigner who has won this honor.

Binell was very interested in Chinese culture, from learning to speak Chinese, to writing Chinese characters, wearing Chinese clothes, and finally trimming his hair into large braids. Liu Mingchuan treated him like a brother and gave him a Chinese name, Bi Huaqing. even saw that Boss Biner was still alone, and took the initiative to match a woman surnamed Huang from Lu'an as his wife. It can be said that Binel became the first batch of Chinese sons-in-law.

Binel has a sense of belonging in China and a family, and is ready to change his nationality and become a Chinese citizen.

Historically, in the first month of a year later, Li Hongzhang went to the imperial court, saying that Binel was willing to be a son of China for generations to come, and would not return to France. The Empress Dowager Cixi thought this matter was very interesting, so she happily approved and specially approved to join Hefei. Of course, that's for later.

The current Bi Ner, Bi Huaqing, is the artillery presidential leader of the inscription battalion. In the army of the late Qing Dynasty, not only Liu Mingchuan's inscription battalion, but also Liu Xian's team, the artillery commander was definitely the most important first-class general in the army.

After more than three years of intersection, Liu Mingchuan and all the generals in the inscription battalion believed Bi Huaqing's words a hundred times. After more than three years of understanding and studying, Liu Mingchuan, Liu Shengzao, Tang Diankui, Liu Chaoxi and others also knew very well what Bi Huaqing meant by the 'modern army'.

The evaluation of the second-rate army in Europe made everyone deeply puzzled!

Yes, Liu Xian is in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, deep inland, and he has no chance to contact the army of foreigners, and he has no chance to find Western instructors like the Huai army hired Biner. So, how did this Qin army come about?

A sense of frustration rose in Liu Mingchuan's heart.

A kind of thing that you can't do under superior conditions, the opponent can do it under extremely difficult circumstances.

This sense of failure made him irritated and just wanted to look up to the sky and yell!

Liu Mingchuan has Biner and Li Hongzhang's full support, but he can't build a modern army in the West. Because of the limitations of the Huai army, because of the structure of the inscription battalion. No matter how far the inscription battalion has expanded, this is a team organized on the basis of the children surnamed Liu and Liu Mingchuan's relatives and friends.

Tang Diankui is Liu Mingchuan's fellow villager and friend, and is now the chief soldier of the right army of the inscription battalion, and his deputy Tang Dingkui is his own brother.

Liu Shengzao, the chief soldier of the left army of the inscription battalion, the first general of the inscription battalion. Liu Mingchuan's nephew, he is six or seven years older than Liu Mingchuan, he was born in Xiucai, and he also taught Liu Mingchuan to read and write in his private school.

Liu Chaoxi, Liu Ming's younger brother.

Chen Zhenbang, the commander of the horse team, and Liu Zhengtong, the deputy general, Chen Zhenbang and Liu Mingchuan are good brothers who have known each other since childhood, and Liu Zhengtong is a good brother of Chen Zhenbang.

The label of the inscription battalion up and down is the private army. Everyone has a small cake, and although Liu Mingchuan is everyone's head, he can't lightly touch the interests of the generals below.

And in such an environment, unified military regulations and military discipline have become a joke.

It is impossible for the inscription battalion to be like Liu Xian's army, where all the money can be distributed to all the soldiers;

It is impossible for the inscription battalion to be like Liu Xian's army, where all those who violate military rules and discipline, regardless of the status of officers and soldiers, can be punished under the same standard of discipline and punishment;

Liu Xian could split and deploy his troops and horses at will, and with little change in the middle and lower ranks, he could quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Liu Mingchuan absolutely can't do this.

The entire inscription battalion, as well as the extended Huai army, Hunan army, and Chu army, is a typical example of a big warlord leading a group of small warlords to play.

Later generations said: The key word of the modern army is discipline, and the key word of the modern army is ideals.

Liu Xian's troops have lofty ideals, but discipline can absolutely do it. Coupled with the modularity of the team structure, his troops, that is, a modern army.

In the Qin army, if a soldier makes a mistake, the general will not cut you down because you are in a good mood, nor will he cut you down with a knife because he is in a bad mood. No matter whether the general is in a good mood or not, all of them are served by fifty military sticks!

Bi Huaqing, who knew deeply what kind of structure the inscription battalion was, had long since given up the idea of transforming it into a modern army. [Bi Huaqing's 'modern']

……

Chongqu Town.

A battle has ended, and the unsuccessful sniper team of Twisted Horses is desperately fleeing south.

The main force of Liu Xian's infantry is crossing the Cai River.

On the outskirts of Chongqu Town, more than 200 cavalry of the Twist Army dismounted and surrendered. From the ferry more than 20 miles away from the northwest, he quietly crossed the Cai River, and defeated the cavalry battalion of the Liu Xian Army of the Twist Army Horse Team, and looked proudly at the Twist Army soldiers who dismounted and abandoned the army.

In this battle, they are the biggest contributors.

More than 200 soldiers who surrendered were taken to different locations for questioning.

Ordinary twisters, low-level soldiers, small leaders, leaders.

There is no leader. Among the more than 200 troops who surrendered, the highest position was a leader who led 100 people.

Instead, from the pile of dead on the battlefield, the medical battalion pulled out an unusually dressed twisted army. He was stabbed several times, and blood stained his whole body. The soldiers of the Twist Army who surrendered were recruited to admit that they were the right-hand men of Ren Huabang. The surname is Pan, and his name is Pan Guisheng.

Whether it can be saved is uncertain. Dying, only one breath left. Ask, you don't have to think about it.
