Chapter 1 Crossed?

On an autumn afternoon, it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. A retro-looking steam train let out a terrifying roar as if it had tuberculosis, pulling dozens of carriages forward behind it. The chimney on the front of the locomotive gulped out pitch-black soot, mixed with the misty steam leaking from the front of the locomotive, rising with the direction of the wind, forming a black and white streamer along the narrow tracks with the train, like a homecoming voyage on the sea. In the cabin compartment of this train, a young man in his twenties reclined on the back of the chair on the wide leather seat, napping comfortably, and the dust between his eyebrows could not hide his innate heroism. "Bang dang ~ woo ~ " The noise coming from the car window made him frown, and he opened his sleepy eyes with an unhappy face. Kindness?! Late 19th century style décor, with a wooden Western-style round table and a wall printed with a beautiful woman's secret advertising ...... "Nima?! What's going on!! The young man's remaining drowsiness was immediately expelled, rubbing his eyes and looking at all this in front of him with a face full of astonishment. After looking at it in a daze for a while, the young man trembled, stretched out his hand, picked up the newspaper on the table, and read the headline in a low voice: "In the thirty-first year of Guangxu, on November 19, Xiong Chengji slashed the pipe belt to death with a saber, and Chen Changyong led the Anhui New Army to launch a riot with the mixed artillery battalion...... "The thirty-first year of Guangxu...... Thirty-one years of Guangxu...... I was enchanted and repeated this sentence, and the newspaper in my hand fell to the ground. His history is not bad, if he is not mistaken, the thirtieth year of Guangxu should be 1908 AD! "Oh my God, I'm ...... I...... I'm not dreaming about it. The young man was stunned by the conclusion he had reached, and pinched his thigh fiercely, it hurt, it was not a dream. Well, that's pretty much how everyone in the room reacted. After finally calming down, restarting the brain that had fallen into a state of death, thinking about it for a while, putting aside those unrealistic possibilities, the young man quickly came to the conclusion - he crossed over! From 2013 to 1908...... There is a difference of more than 100 years! In a panic, the young man began to rummage through his pockets and the suitcase beside him, and he didn't know when there was a black copper-buckled suitcase beside him, and he hesitated and opened it together. After some inventory, I found that I had a laptop computer (matching headphones, a set of three-hole chargers), a set of winter clothes issued by the military academy and a set of cotton coats for cadres, a few changes of clothes, a few boxes of antibiotics, a number of military periodicals and magazines borrowed from the library, a Browning 1900 pistol (more than 100 bullets, 4 magazines), in addition to a set of blue-gray Prussian military uniforms seen on TV, a pair of high-cut officer's riding boots, There was also a wallet stuffed with all sorts of banknotes and silver dollars. The credit card and the renminbi in his hand were definitely useless, and a faint warmth arose when he looked at the stack of banknotes mixed with marks, pounds, dollars, and rubles in his hand - at least for the time being.

Taking advantage of the time on the road, he carefully counted the things in his hand and slowly looked for all kinds of valuable information, and as he deepened his understanding, a shadow gradually became clear: Hu Rui, male, 18 years old. Shanghainese, the only child in the family. Ancestor for the Kangxi period of Jinshi, the family is well-off, father Hu Zifeng for the eldest son inherited the family business, in the early years to participate in the imperial examination as an official career did not go smoothly resigned and went home, once for the German Lihe foreign compradors, familiar with foreign affairs. At the age of 6, he was sent by his father Hu Zifeng to Germany to study in the army primary school, and returned to China in 1908. It's not bad, it's a well-off home. Hu Rui sighed and comforted himself, and there was a letter in his luggage that was sandwiched in a notebook, which was opened and sprinkled with three pages, the content was probably that the current situation was turbulent, the imperial court was organizing and training new troops in order to protect itself, and there was a shortage of ordnance and talents. Your father sent you to Germany to train you since you were a child, for this moment. Your father asked someone to get a batch of second-hand ordnance from the German army warehouse at a low price to secretly return to China for sale, and by the way, he will take care of a good future for you, and everything will be discussed after you return. There is also an HSBC money order with a deposit of 5,000 dragon oceans, which is said to be the travel expenses, and you can pick it up if you need to. Hu Rui put down the letter paper and silently put away the luggage separately, the down jacket and jeans on his body could not be worn, took them off, changed them into a tweed coat and trousers in the suitcase, packed up and took out a piece of bread bought before getting into the car, and ate it tastelessly, while eating while planning his own way out. Obviously, he has crossed over, not to mention that this pit daddy thing will suddenly happen to him, the most important thing at the moment is what to do now? Where is the way out?! He learned history well when he was in the military school, it is now 1908, and in another 3 years is the famous Xinhai Revolution, the Qing Dynasty has a maximum of 3 years of life, and then it will be the Republic of China era, the mixing between the warlords is endless, until 1926, when Lao Chiang nominally unified China, it is considered to be a little settled, and the Japanese created the 918 Incident in the Northeast two years later, followed by the Northeast War of Resistance and the Great Wall War of Resistance...... It can be said that in the next 40 years, the entire land of China will be in constant war, and it will definitely not be possible to return to the Hu family in Shanghai to be his eldest young master. First, he didn't have the help of alien technology, and secondly, he didn't have such bad luck, and he only had a well-off family and half a bucket of theoretical military knowledge that he had learned. "It's hard......" sighed and lay down on the couch-like bench. Twilight wanders around the private room casually, unwittingly stumbling into a discarded newspaper. "On November 19, 1908, the Anhui New Army rioted in the Horse Artillery Battalion...... Wait a minute! This may be an opportunity! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clap my hands, it was really the road to heaven. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the decaying slow Qing Dynasty gradually found that the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion of the Han Army were dull and rotten, not to mention the war with the advanced Western powers, that is, to suppress the surging peasant uprisings in the country, and it was also powerless, after the two great changes in the First Wu and Gengzi, the Manchu Dynasty learned from the pain and began to fire the Western military system, spending a lot of money to train the new army. Due to the long-term isolation of the country and the restrictions of the imperial examination system, there were very few suitable talents in the country at that time, and there was a shortage of a large number of posts in the new army, so they had to shoehorn a large number of students who had stayed abroad into the new army, and many revolutionary parties took the opportunity to mix up the army. It is definitely not the best choice to follow Sun Hao's revolution, and those who run overseas and are chased everywhere do not mention that Zuihou or the principal sits on the country, and it is a brain-dead act to follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At the moment, the most suitable way is to go it alone! The cheap dad at home in Shanghai seems to have some ways to get ordnance, and it seems that he still has some connections in the top echelons of the Qing government, and now the new army in Anhui has been cleared up and down, and the revolutionary party has basically been removed, and shili is in a vacuum, if you can take this opportunity to pull up your own team......
