To be honest, Hu Rui's opinion on this uprising of the revolutionary party is very large! First of all, the timing of the uprising was very bad, just as the ninth town of Taihu Qiucao stationed in Nanjing and the eighth town of Wuchang, Hubei Province both rushed to Taihu County to participate in the military exercise, but Taihu County was only one day's journey from the provincial capital Anqing City. It can be said that this uprising is completely immature in external conditions, and in this case, a rash uprising is purely looking for death! Imagine taking a crippled artillery battalion and a cavalry battalion (neither of which were collective uprisings) to make up a team of 1,000 people to fight against the Qing army of more than 25,000 people in two entire towns...... Of course, this is not counting the patrol battalion. That's not all, Xiong Chengji killed Chen Changyong, the artillery battalion commander, and then the two battalions of the rebelled troops joined forces, completely ignoring the nearby eighth and ninth towns, and dragged a few Hubei 57 guns equipped with artillery battalions to attack Anqing City, which was high and thick. (The Ezao 57 Mountain Gun was copied from the German Grushen Type 1894 Recedible Rapid-Fire Gun, and the Hanyang Factory removed the shield on the basis of the German original gun, and changed the gun wheel to wood.) The flowering shell equipped with the German 57 gun was cancelled, and the ammunition was single and less powerful because it used black powder. In rough terrain and field environments, the effect is okay, and it is a simple tickle to attack a target with strong fortifications. As a result, according to the records of the time, the rebels fired more than a dozen shells in a row, and the artillery positions under the city were billowed with white smoke, but the shells that went out either did not explode or missed, and did not hurt the city wall at all. Zuihou a large number of Qing troops arrived, after the rise of Xiong Chengji's rapid defeat and was also harassed by Jiang Gui's cavalry along the way, Zuihou also had civil strife, some soldiers in order to reward the assassination of Xiong Chengji failed, and finally the disheartened Xiong Chengji fled, Fan Chuanjia and others were defeated and died, and threw down the dead corpses in vain (most of them were intellectuals who were scarce in society at that time, and they were the elite of the country). The uprising failed, and the matter was not over, because Xu Shaozhen, a good old man who had been in charge of the Ninth Town, had an ambiguous attitude and sympathized with the revolutionary party, and there were a large number of military officers in the Ninth Town, who were born in Anhui Jiangwutang and the 34th Mixed Association, and had a good relationship in private. Feng Xi, the governor at that time, mistakenly thought that the ninth town was Neiying, and immediately ordered the eighth town to surround the ninth town, and almost disarmed (the trend of the ninth town at that time was also penetrated by the revolutionary party, and later after the Xinhai Revolution, he hastily launched an uprising in Nanjing and suffered a crushing defeat). After the incident, the officers and men of the Ninth Town were afraid of the topic of the revolutionary party, which caused great trouble for the follow-up infiltration work. Looking at the mess left by the alliance in front of him, Hu Rui couldn't help but sigh that this organization has a low level of vision, and it has a noble revolutionary spirit, but it must also have the corresponding ability!

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness and loyalty of this team in the future, he locked himself in his room for three whole days, and with his amazing memory, he dictated out the "Army Training Syllabus", which was later called brainwashing, and the "Internal Affairs Management Regulations" were then changed according to the actual situation. Immediately after completion, it was popularized in the training battalion, the patrol battalion, and the 34th Mixed Formation Association in the reorganization, and the reward and punishment system was strictly enforced. Although the German foreign instructors hired through the interview were puzzled and surprised, they still faithfully performed their duties, and under the coercion and lure of turnips and sticks, the new army, which was accustomed to being scattered, wailed from top to bottom, got up at 5 o'clock every morning, carried 50 kilograms of weight on their backs, and crawled to run 10,000 meters under the abuse and ridicule of the German instructors. After breakfast, there was shooting training, with 10 rounds per person each time, and 10 laps around the playground if you missed. After lunch, the German instructors dug trenches in the playground and pulled up the barbed wire, and crawled through them one by one, with crackling firecrackers overhead, and either burning wood or barbed wire in front and behind. After dinner, we marched and trained until 9 o'clock and returned to the barracks, and at 10 o'clock we blew out the lights and horns on time. In addition, a major inspection is conducted once a week to inspect the internal affairs and military training of each squad and platoon company, and there is no such thing as the maintenance of firearms and the cleanliness of housekeeping to the tactical indicators, and the unqualified units are collectively punished as a squad unit, and the officers and men of the whole company are given socks for one month, and they are also responsible for brushing rubber shoes and cleaning the toilets until someone replaces them. There is also a battalion-level confrontation military exercise once a month (Hu Rui reorganized the remnants of the 34th mixed association according to the actual situation, because the original structure has been broken up and there is an extreme shortage of personnel, so the formation of the infantry association and infantry standard is temporarily canceled, and after screening and reorganization into 4 infantry battalions to resume training and other conditions permit before expanding), the losing side will collectively train, and the food expenses required for the collective meal will be deducted from the other party's food expenses for the next month. For a while, the shouts of killing near the barracks continued, which made the surrounding people and passers-by tremble. After two consecutive months of freeing up and down, Hu Rui's teaching battalion, new army, and patrol battalion have a great feeling of being reborn, and Zhu Jiabao has also received a post from the local squire for many days to report that the new army is disturbing the people.

With the increase in training intensity, the consumption of various materials has become more and more huge. At present, the Anqing Machinery Bureau can only produce round-headed bullets and old-fashioned committee rifles, and the raw materials are all imported, and there is a shortage of skilled technicians, resulting in extremely low production, which can only barely meet the consumption of the new army's training, and there is no way to talk about the pointed head single and Mauser 98 fast guns equipped with the training battalion. Huang Chengcheng's bullet casings were thrown out on the training ground, and Hu Xietong's wallet deflated little by little. Looking at the increasingly thin wallet, Hu Rui had no choice but to trouble the cheap dad in Shanghai to find a way to get a batch of tools to make tempering shells, collect all the beaten shells and return them to the furnace, install a primer and a bullet to make a return fire and reuse it. As the year approaches, a heavy snow falls, and the New Year of 1909 is approaching. The trainees of the training camp took out their new military uniforms and officers' high leather boots under the boxes and happily took them out, wiped them off, put on their armed belts, and saluted the friendly instructors of the farewell war with their heads held high, and went home for the New Year. Hu Xietong, who wears many hats, finally has some free time, raised his head from the mountain-like pile of books on the desk, stuffed the political work and teaching plans on the desk into the cabinet and locked them fiercely, he has been really busy for more than 2 months. Looking at the empty training camp dormitory and the patrol camp that had returned to the camp after training in the distance, Hu Rui sighed and worried about the coming year. "Money! Money! Money! Money! Hu Rui shouted in his heart, he had spent all the money he earned from selling arms in just two months, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still a cent of gold to support it, it was estimated that he would not even be able to last the New Year. Before the crossing, he was just an ordinary military cadet with an allowance of 800 yuan from the school every month, and after graduation, he died in the army and survived an income of more than 7,000 yuan per month. The batch of ammunition eliminated by the German army made a total of nearly 300,000 silver dollars, which was converted into the currency of later generations and he became a millionaire overnight, but this money did not necessarily care much, and it was finally repaired until the New Year. In fact, it is no wonder that after Hu Rui took office, he was given the most generous military salary: all new officers and soldiers who did not participate in the turmoil were given 5 yuan of condolences each, and newly recruited soldiers were paid 6 yuan of silver every month after enlisting in the army, and they were guaranteed an egg every day without deducting food expenses, they could eat rice, white flour and fish every day, and they were issued with two sets of military uniforms for four seasons, in addition to two pairs of cloth shoes and rubber shoes. This kind of treatment is second to none in the new army in the country, and the commander who treats him well never abuses and beats the soldiers, and does not deduct his salary, where can he find such a good errand. In other places, there are desperate people who come to be soldiers, otherwise they are to catch strong men, but the Anhui New Army is everyone rushing to be soldiers, and the conscription office is overcrowded for a time. In troubled times, it is already a blessing to have food to eat and not die of hunger, and anyone will be blushing if such a good errand is exchanged. "Eh~" Hu Rui sighed, rubbed his sore head, and lay weakly on the chair.

In the past few days in 1908, Hu Rui repeatedly sketched out the schedule for next year in his mind, and the patrol battalion index of the imperial court was added, and the remnants of the mixed association had initially gained combat effectiveness after training and elimination, and the expansion of the organization next year could no longer be delayed. The cheap father at home remitted 200,000 taels of silver and said that it was a dividend this year, and he left it for his son in case. Uncle Shan has already gone to look around, and if nothing else, the money can buy the land on the saddle, and the steel mill will have to be put on the ground next year. "Annoying!!!" Hu Tong's shoes that locked himself in the room looked up to the sky and roared, they were all damn Brother Kong Fang's trouble! "It seems that no matter what era is, it is a hero who is hard to die for a penny, Yang Zhi sells knives, Qin Qiong buys horses...... Phew, blah, it's far away. Someone muttered in his heart. Hu Ruitong, who was cornered by Brother Kong Fang, put his mind on making money in Europe for the sake of the beauty of Haode's future evil and courage, and of course Hans Meow is still a little tiger. There is a large stack of magazines in his trolley suitcase, which were borrowed from the school library before the holidays, and if I remember correctly, there are a large number of best-selling periodicals including weapons, ship knowledge, modern ships, tanks, etc., and I will search to see if there are excellent weapons and equipment from World War I to World War II. Thinking of this, Hu Rui turned over and got up from putting it on, carefully dragged his trolley suitcase out of the dark layer under the bed, flipped out the magazine, and searched for the photos taken in the museum in the notebook Hu Rui bit by bit. The birth of the British Navy's dreadnoughts in 1906 announced the obsolescence of the active capital ships of various countries and the arrival of a new era. The steam turbine, the elimination of the secondary main gun to simplify fire control, the use of a centralized central fire control system, and the use of 5 twin-mounted 305 mm guns along the central axis of the hull can ensure that 4 turrets and 8 guns are involved in both sides of the ship...... These epoch-making jishu features swept all the former dreadnoughts out of history! A new round of morning contests was immediately triggered! In 1909, Germany's first class dreadnought, the Nassau-class, should still be under construction, and all four ships of this class will not be in service until mid-to-late 1911, while the British cousins opposite have already started building the Orion-class battleship equipped with 13.5-inch (343 mm) guns; Germany's old enemy France will also stop building all Anton-class pre-dreadnoughts this year, and after the completion of the Guba-class dreadnoughts, it will begin to follow the British Navy's pace to design and build Brittany-class super-dreadnoughts (equipped with 340 mm guns)! In this new round of shipbuilding competition, the German Navy is far behind in terms of both the caliber of artillery and the number of equipment, presumably Wilhelm II, who is obsessed with Mahan's theory of sea power and is bent on seeking land under the sun, may not be able to eat it. Thinking of this, Hu Rui saw an article about the German High Seas Fleet's Rainbow Operation at the end of World War I from a book, which used a lot of space to introduce the family background of the German High Seas Fleet in World War I, among which there was a loud noise of the High Seas Fleet Zuihou - Bavaria-class battleships! There are also a lot of pictures and structural drawings, and a brief history of construction and design is introduced by the way! Looking at the detailed drawings on it, Hu Rui couldn't help but be ecstatic, holding the book in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and then summoned the drawings and pencils to copy it stroke by stroke. "The Bavaria-class battleship, the first ship of which was started on January 22, 1914, had a design displacement of 28,530 tons and a full load displacement of 32,200 tons. It is powered by 11 Sannikroft coal-fired boilers, 3 Parsons/Shuoxiao steam turbines (two Parsons turbines and one MAN diesel engine installed on the Saxony), 56,000 horsepower 3 shafts, 2 rudder parallel configurations, with a maximum speed of 22 knots and a cruising range of 5,000 nautical miles/12 knots. Equipped with 8 (4 twin-mounted) 45xd 381mm main guns, 16 150mm 45xd broadside secondary guns, 10 88mm 45xd rapid-fire/vent guns, 5 600mm torpedo tubes (underwater installation, one in the front, one on each side of the A and D turrets, 1172 people (45 officers) ...... "The figure of the steel giant ship that slowly sank in Scapa Bay gradually became clear in my mind, Hu Rui is not from the navy, but since he was a child, he has received family influences, likes the military, and for the navy and the air force, he can also stand in the perspective of senior military fans to roughly say why, if I remember correctly, this large-scale gun gallery design before and after World War I is so that the secondary gun can not be as centralized as the main gun, and the complicated procedures cause extremely low efficiency. The guns placed in the gun gallery are often restricted by sea conditions, which often makes it impossible to fire guns close to sea level, and the gun gallery is very easy to cause large-scale flooding of the hull after the battleship is damaged and flooded. After thinking about it, Hu Rui changed the 16 secondary guns into 8 twin turrets, arranged 4 on the left and right ports, eliminated all useless fish launch tubes, and improved the ship type to adopt the famous Atlantic clipper ship in World War II to increase seaworthiness...... After some changes, a new generation of Bavaria-class battleships was released, except for the usual German dome arrangement, all the other flaws were changed, and the corresponding displacement was increased to 34,000 tons. If the Germans really built the battleships on the blueprints on a large scale, as long as the tactics were right, the Battle of Jutland would definitely make the proud British Royal Navy bleed more, and John Bull's attention could be more focused on Europe. In addition to the Bavarian-class battleship Hu Rui also turned to a story about the purchase of SF15 150 mm 30 times diameter howitzer by the Republic of China government from Germany before the Anti-Japanese War, this was born from the SF13 150mm howitzer used by the German Army in World War I with a strong World War I style, and Jishu also has a great inheritance from his parents during World War I. Hu Rui was born in the army and knew a lot about artillery, so he simplified this artillery (it was too expensive for him to equip himself), and then copied a drawing according to the gourd drawing. Although it is not detailed enough, thanks to the excellent drawing, the work is very clear, and the subtleties should be filled in by the Germans to buy them back and find their own artillery engineer to fill them up. Two weeks later, Hurui put an improved Bavaria-class battleship, a simplified version of the SF15 30x 150 howitzer, a Skoda 1930 75 howitzer (with a range of more than 10,000 meters, very light) mountain gun, a Mauser 98 rifle improvement plan (improved according to the German 98K standard during World War II, with a sniper version with a scope), a 7.92 caliber Gagolev light machine gun, a 9mm Tokarev 1933 pistol, a Walther P38 pistol, The 7.92 caliber ZB30 light machine gun and the German M18 steel helmet during World War I were all cut and the samples were handed over to Uncle Shan to take back to Shanghai. In addition to this, there are also excerpts from the book about the 343-mm naval guns on the Orion-class battleships of the British Royal Navy, which are quite enough, and there is no fear that the Germans will not take the bait. Hurui sat in the corner and laughed like a fox, waiting for the Germans to come to the door.
