"Quick, quick, get everything in the car." Outside the armory in Fengtian City, two groups of soldiers who were obviously much stronger than other patrols carried boxes of ordnance and ammunition onto the carriage at the door of the armory.

"My lord, it's been counted, this time Lord Wang gave us 700 guns, 200 Manlixia, and 500 Hanyang-made, Manlixia is a good-fashioned product from the new army, but Hanyang-made is a good thing, and there are 200,000 bullets." Tian Helin's face was full of joy.

Seven hundred guns, plus the guns that Qin Yu seized from Tian Yuxiong last time, and some bullets, it was enough to expand the four battalions under his command to two thousand people in Taonan.

"Looks like it's well spent." Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction, according to the sales price of arms at this time, the ex-factory price of a Hanyang was only about eighteen taels of silver. Of course, if it is according to the money that Qin Yu spent on Wang Huaiqing, it must be a lot of money, but considering the income from winning over Wang Huaiqing and getting this batch of guns, the strength under Qin Yu's hands can be doubled, and the original trained veterans will improve their survival rate in the process of fighting against the Mongolian bandits, and these hidden meanings are not comparable to those tens of thousands of taels of silver.

As long as the Mongolian bandits are eliminated and stabilized in the Taoliao area, with the merit of suppressing the bandits, as long as the operation is good, it is still enough to be a local emperor, and when the time comes, it is necessary to use this first batch of trained soldiers as the backbone to expand the army, and the stronger the troops in hand, the more capital to settle down in the earth-shattering revolution in the Xinhai period.

Looking at the slightly gloomy sky in the distance, Qin Yu's eyes gradually changed from wandering to firm, since he has come to this era, what should he do.

"Brother Xuguang!"

"Humble duty."

"I'll lead my troops north first, you say hello to Du Liming on the Benxi side, and prepare to develop the industry to Fengtian City, in addition, I may have to stay in Taonan for a short time, and I will also need a certain amount of machinery at that time, so that he can have a preparation there." I'll leave a sentry soldier for you, and I'll come over to join me after the affairs of Benxi are settled. Qin Yu said.

"Yes, sir!"

There were more than 1,000 troops participating in the war, and Qin Yu recruited more than 1,300 servants, coachmen, etc. to transport supplies and baggage for the army.

Taonan Mansion is thousands of miles away from Fengtian City.

There are still hundreds of miles away from Taonan Fucheng, and you can see knee-deep green grass from time to time along the way, and patches of reeds surging waves with the wind.

When they arrived at the edge of the grassland, they set up camp at night, and from time to time they could hear a few wolf howls.

"Second young master, I didn't expect that the scenery of this grassland is not bad, compared to Gaizhou, it has a different flavor, and it is very cool at night, if there is nothing to do in the future, I will take a few people outside to camp."

When it comes to the grassland, the price of meat is relatively much cheaper. Along the way, the saddle horse was imprisoned, and Qin Yu ate and lived with the soldiers along the way, which was about to fight with the Mongolian bandits, and he couldn't help but fight tooth sacrifices.

This will Zhang Shun, as well as Qin Yu and the others talking around a roasted whole sheep with a fragrant roast.

"If you're not afraid of being dragged away by the wolf, you can just come out, a few people, it's not enough to stuff the wolf's teeth." Qin Yu laughed.

"Has this lord been to the prairie?" Serving the roasted whole sheep was a local man in his fifties, who looked quite old because of his perennial fatigue, and his temples were full of gray hair.

"I've heard that there are more than a dozen wolves on the grassland, and if a few people are surrounded by wolves, they may be eaten by wolves during the day, let alone at night." Qin Yu said with a smile, the endurance of Mongolian war horses, and the good running are also forced out by the steppe wolf, and if they run slowly, they will inevitably be eaten by wolves on the grassland.

"In fact, in addition to eating people, wolves are also an important part of maintaining the balance of life."

"My lord, what is ecological balance?" Yang Xing couldn't help but ask.

"It is the balance of the grassland, every year there are major disasters on the grassland, including drought, snow, disease, a large number of cattle, sheep, and wild animals will die. If these animals are not eaten by wolves, rot and stink, they will cause plague, plague together, domestic animals can not be spared, and may even spread to humans, in addition, rats, rabbits eat grass and burrow, the destruction of the grassland is extremely strong, without the natural enemy of the wolf, the whole grassland may turn into a barren desert. ”

"Adults know a lot." The old man smiled and nodded, this group of officers and soldiers did not disturb the people, and the price paid for the purchase of livestock was also very fair, which made these hospitable herdsmen very enthusiastic.

"Doesn't the wolf eat domestic animals and people, why does it sound like this, it seems to be quite useful?" Zhang Shun scratched his head and said.

Qin Yu picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire and said, "Man-made disasters are always greater than natural disasters, no matter how vicious the wolf is, it can't eat a few people, but some of the high-ranking people have been forced to death because of their poverty and luxury, if it weren't for some princes and nobles on the grassland in order to satisfy their selfish desires, where would so many people rise up, and it would be self-inflicted." ”

"So, Second Young Master, you don't have to come to Taonan." Zhang Shundao.

"Tao Ke Tao Hu, Bai Yin Da Lai may have originally intended to overthrow the princes and nobles who oppressed them, but once there is a shadow of the Russians in the future, the motive is no longer simple, Mongolia is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and it must not be divided. It's a matter of position. ”

Qin Yu's tone was firm and authentic, the entire Outer Mongolia of one hundred thousand square kilometers of land in the future generations was cut off, and it must be ended in this era. Of course, Qin Yu owes a little favor to the so-called Great Qing Dynasty.

"If those who are in charge can think like adults, the herdsmen on the grassland are also blessed." The old man sighed.

"Someday it will change."

Standing in his current position, Qin Yu must wipe out all the Mongolian bandits without sparing, in fact, in the eyes of these Mongolian people, whether it is Baiyin Dalai or Tao Ke Taohu, it is thousands of times better than those princes and nobles on the grassland. The reason why Sun Yat-sen was able to succeed in the Central Plains was because the Republic of China had a large population and the situation was more complicated. However, the grassland is sparsely populated, and it is difficult to expand the ranks of rebellion, and with the nomadic life of the grassland, it is difficult to raise a large army, so these Mongolian bandits are destined to fail.

"Old man, you help me release the news out of the country, if you have a strong man in the family, you can come to Taonan to find me, and I have to recruit thousands of soldiers here. There won't be too many soldiers, but you won't go hungry. Qin Yu said.

"That's it, there are two boys in the old man's family, and they have a stick on their bodies, and they must go to Taonan to join the army under the general." The old man was busy.

There is also a reason why Qin Yu chose to recruit troops in Taonan, as an outsider, the lack of information and the lack of environment are the biggest obstacles to suppressing bandits at the moment, and recruiting a large number of locals as soldiers can solve this problem well.

"Daddy Liu, what are so many officers and soldiers here for yesterday?" A lean young man rode a horse the next day and saw the old man and asked.

"What else can I do, the court sent to suppress the bandits, the young general who came yesterday is a big official, with more than 1,000 soldiers under his hands, I heard him say that more than 1,000 people will be recruited into the army, there is a military day, don't be afraid of hunger, I said Zhanshan, this time Baiyin Da Cheng they have defeated Taonan Mansion City, which has alarmed the imperial court, it will definitely not be for a long time, you might as well go to the official army, your 100 people, no guns and no bullets, they can't beat the group of officers and soldiers who came yesterday, look at their team, there are thousands of people who fought alone."

"How's that guy?" The man named Zhan Shan asked.

"It's not bad, the livestock I bought last night were given cash, the price is more fair, it is not the same as the previous officers and soldiers, the young general is very good to his subordinates, I have inquired, their young generals will be reused as long as they have the ability, those who have good guns, a month to five taels of silver, and those who have good skills and can fight are officers, and the monthly salary is higher than that of other soldiers."

"Is there such a thing?" The young man said in surprise.

"It's better to go and see each other, and the soldiers I asked have all answered the same thing, not like a fake."

"That's it, I'll let people go to Taonan Mansion City to inquire first, if that's the case, there's nothing wrong with joining the official army, I'm a big leader, looking at the scenery, I can manage the food and accommodation of dozens of people, and the burden is not light at all. It's naturally good to be able to get a good background for them. Ma Zhanshan nodded.
