"Nie Junmen, Feng Bang. The equipment of the lowly Chinese pioneer battalion is indeed better, but it cannot be won by relying on equipment, and the old Beiyang army lacks some fundamental things. Shao Yu poured a cup of tea for Nie Shicheng and Feng Yihe as he spoke.

"The equipment of the new army is really good, just one automatic pistol per person, and the old army is far inferior. As for the mortars and machine guns, the old army was even more scarcely equipped. Feng Yihe said with some dissatisfaction.

"This pistol? The Tianjin Machinery Bureau and the Italian branch of Lord Xu sold the old Beiyang army at a price lower than the cost price, and we bought it at a parity price, and the new salary of the old army was enough to support every soldier of the old army with a pistol, but those people even ate and drank the subsidy, and did not see a few people to buy their own self-defense weapons, what is the reason? Don't have any money? As for machine guns and mortars? All the first class marksmen in my machine gun crew can shoot indirect fire, and the old army has also been trained in this field, and the result? The old army has Beiyang to pay for it, but every penny of our new Chinese army is our own, and we fight with our own lives and our own money. That's the gap. Shao Yu said sternly.

"And what are you fighting for? I have always admired why Jishi was able to allow Chinese people who were far away from their homeland to return to the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Japanese invaders. Nie Shicheng said respectfully.

"First of all, I want to emphasize that our Chinese brigade did not participate in the war for the Beiyang, let alone for the Qing Dynasty. We are here to survive for ourselves, for our race to have a better space for development in the future, and for a new living environment where we don't have to worry about our lives and property being deprived at any time. And whoever can provide us with this living space, we will help. Shao Yu said, took a sip of tea and said.

"That's a big rebellion." Feng Yihe stammered.

"Great rebellion? Hehe, Beiyang has done this kind of thing, right? Do you know what I like most about Beiyang? Shao Yu asked with a slight smile.

"Listen up." Nie Shicheng raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.

"When the generals kept saying that it was for the emperor and for the Qing country, did they think about the thoughts of the soldiers below? And this imperial court, where supplies and logistics cannot even be distributed on time and in full, why should you be loyal? You say that I am a great rebellion, but this private placement of new troops to expand armaments is also a great rebellion, but Li Zhongtang's strength is big enough, as for allegiance to the imperial court, is there anything worthy of your allegiance in this rotten imperial court? Just knowing that the common people are exploited, are the 40,000 subjects of the Qing Dynasty just to feed this handful of old men who are weak externally and brutal internally? From 1840 onwards, it was repeatedly defeated in the Qing War. Isn't the money compensated for the blood and sweat of the common people? And they are still in a mess, living a drunken life. "I saw what Feng Yihe wanted to say. Shao Yu made a gesture for Feng Yihe not to say anything for now, and then continued: "Don't mention any loyal monarch thoughts to me, and don't mention Confucian classics to me. I understand, I read no fewer books than those in the Qing Dynasty, let's talk about the Confucian classics first, aren't there so many sentences? One sentence is that the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. There is also a saying that water can carry a boat or overturn a boat. The previous sentence made it very clear that the people of a country are the most important, but what you talk about is loyalty to the monarch, so what is the status of the people in your minds? Slaves? You also climbed up from that time, and you look at the people like this, and expect them to help you? As for the latter sentence, it is to say that no one is born noble. If one dynasty is no longer working, it should be replaced. In a certain way, your understanding of this sentence is not as good as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who rose up in Daze Township 2000 years ago. Shao Yu said with a smile.

"Your plan is not small." Nie Shicheng's eyes flashed with something unpredictable. …,

"If you don't want to, then go on with your old life. After winning the war, let those old men lay off you, and then let you go home to retire according to any crime, don't believe it. Zeng Wenzhenggong can't be spared, let alone you, when the outside calls again, I don't know if Beiyang will be as lucky as this time to get so many kinds of assistance. Shao Yu said lazily.

"This issue is far away, we are talking about the military, and politics is not something we can consider now. Mr. Shao, tell me your views on the combat strength of the New Army. Nie Shicheng snorted and changed the subject.

"The highest combat effectiveness in the new army must be the Chinese brigade, followed by Lord Liu's Taiwan New Army, and then the Beiyang New Army." Shao Yu said unceremoniously.

Why? The Chinese brigade was better equipped, but the training was the same. The Beiyang New Army should at least not be inferior to the Taiwan New Army, right? Nie Shicheng said dissatisfiedly.

"The strength of the army is not just about who is well equipped and who is more trained. In terms of cultural history, the general level of Chinese tourism is the highest, and Taiwan, under the advocacy of Lord Liu, has also begun to attach importance to Western studies. The cultural level of the troops is relatively high, as for the Beiyang New Army? Let's not talk about the literacy rate, just those talents who read the Four Books and the Five Classics, can you ask them to solve the triangle? Speaking of the peacekeeping and use of machine guns, in addition to the students of the Tianjin Military Academy, how many people in the Beiyang New Army can independently complete the disassembly and maintenance of machine guns? And how many machine gun shooters can shoot indirect shots? Let's talk about the will to fight. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Chinese support for Beiyang originated from the Batavia incident, and it was precisely because of the help of the Beiyang sailors that the Nanyang Chinese avoided a bloody disaster and gained a broader living environment. In order for this situation to continue, the Chinese had to ensure that Beiyang, or someone in Beiyang, could continue to maintain a strong position in the Qing state. I think everyone should know who this person is. I won't say more, but it's not Master Li. So the Chinese had to fight with their best. Winning a better future for one's family and one's own race, a person who sees hope in despair is the greatest motivation! As for Taiwan's new army, the reason is similar, the Japanese have not wanted to occupy Taiwan once or twice, the last time they did not succeed because they failed to catch it, and if Beiyang loses this time, then Taiwan will definitely be in Japan's pocket! In order to defend its homeland and prevent Taiwan from becoming a Japanese colony, Taiwan's new army will definitely fight to the death. Because what awaits them in a step back is the fall of their homeland. As for the last Beiyang New Army? They lack a reason for a mortal battle like the first two, but their families must also benefit from the factories or companies under Beiyang's rule, plus the salaries and subsidies of the new army are indeed more, for the sake of a better life for their families, their will to fight will be much stronger than the old army, but it is difficult to say whether they will fight to the death at a critical moment. Don't tell me anything about fighting for the Qing Kingdom. The country did not give them any other benefits than oppression, and it was better to take a higher bounty to boost morale. Shao Yu said with a slight disdainful smile.

"Taught." Stunned for a while, Nie Shicheng arched his hand and said. Then the three of them casually said something else, and then the conversation ended hastily.

"Junmen, this Mr. Shao is really bold." After going out, Feng Yihe said in a low voice.

But what he said was the truth! And it's time for the world to change. "Thinking of Beiyang's armament activities in order to resist the Japanese attack, it was troubled by the imperial court in every way. Nie Shicheng also pulled out the cold in his heart. Helping the imperial court to fight, in the end, what awaits him and his brothers is the retrenchment and the attack of the Qingliu, what is the blood and money of the brothers for? Nie Shicheng decided to seek a better tomorrow for himself and his brothers after the war!!
