Chapter 774: New Gadget

Seeing that the atmosphere in the Dongnuan Pavilion was a little dull, Yang Meng groaned for a while, and continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, when I was cruising the river this time, I was going to get you a new gadget, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen to the Jingshi, but this new gadget is suitable for today's Jingshi, I wonder if Your Majesty wants to hear about it?"

The dull things began to be said early in the morning, not only the four-color stick wanted to hear the new gadgets in Yang Sange's mouth, but Peng Yunzhang and others also wanted to hear it.

"What's that? Tell me about it! ”

After a few days of fright, he didn't sleep well, and he encountered a bunch of heart-wrenching things, and the four-color stick felt that this emperor was extremely tired, and Yang Sange always had good things and good methods here, although he felt a little tired, he still cheered up and was ready to listen.

"Your Majesty, the two princes, Peng Zhongtang, you all know that Yang San is good at foreign affairs, right?

This new gadget, originally wanted His Majesty to inspect Mongolia, with this new gadget, a trip to Mongolia, it will not take a month, if you directly meet the Mongolian kings, four or five days to run back and forth is enough!

There is a lot of controversy about this thing, in order not to attract attention, Chen originally wanted to secretly transport this new gadget to Jingshi, try it in Jingshi, and then let His Majesty decide whether to use it in large quantities, but now it seems that it must be tried!

As long as this thing is done well, the people of Beijing will also be attracted! Majesty, can you guess what this is? ”

It takes four or five days to meet with the Mongolian kings, which means that in four or five days, the army can reach Mongolia, Peng Yunzhang understood. The deep meaning inside. But the four-color sticks and Duanhua and Zaiyuan are a little wooden.

Although Peng Yunzhang guessed Yang Meng's purpose. But he was not familiar with foreign affairs, but he didn't guess what this new thing was, as for the four-color stick and the two princes, they were basically blind, and it was in vain to ask if they asked, Yang Meng just wanted to divert their attention.

"Third brother, say it quickly! I traveled all over Mongolia in a month, and there are boundless grasslands! ”

No matter how big the matter is, it can't compete with the interest, Yang Meng aroused the interest of the four-color stick, the matter of fratricide. He left it behind.

"Train! The minister planned to go around the Beijing division and lay the railroad tracks, first, this train could attract the attention of the people of Beijing, and second, after the start of the first war between Beijing and Tianjin, the train could transport soldiers and food, and with a train track, it was at least stronger than 100,000 people with mules and horses! ”

As soon as Yang Meng said this, the eyes of the four-color stick were a little disappointed, this is a new gadget and a good thing, he had also heard of trains before. It's just a thing that destroys the leylines of the earth!

"Third brother, trains and ships destroy the leylines and water veins of the earth. It's wartime, so it's okay to use it for the time being! When the battle is over, the ship will still let them rest, and the train track will be demolished!

I'm tired, kneel! ”

Although he was not very interested, the four-color stick still agreed to Brother Yang's request, after all, he still had to rely on Brother Yang, and now it was built and demolished after the war!

Seeing the lack of interest in the four-color stick, Yang Meng also gave Peng Yunzhang and the others a look, and after everyone retreated, he whispered in the ear of the four-color stick.

"King Gong's injury is very serious, I heard that Gui Liang's daughter, King Gong's Fujin came to the palace to ask for medicine, and your majesty has not seen it?"

Gong Wang Fujin entered the palace early to ask for a meeting, which was also arranged by Yang Meng, firstly, this Fujin really wanted to seek medicine for the devil Liu, and secondly, Yang Meng still wanted to test the four-color stick, and suddenly suffered a big change for fear that his mind would change!

"Humph! I still have the face to ask for medicine, let her come to Dongnuan Pavilion, I want to give her some good medicine! ”

Gui Liang's daughter, King Gong's Fu Jin, as soon as she heard this, the eyes of the four-color stick burst out, from the beginning of Gui Liang to the end of King Gong, these two bastards almost ruined the Qing Dynasty, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and the four-color stick who was familiar with some things naturally thought of a means to punish these two people.

What is the four-color stick going to do next Yang Meng knew clearly, and left the Heart Cultivation Hall with An Dehai, and Yang Meng came to the queen's residence under An Dehai's arrangement.

"The medicine arranged by the imperial doctor should be taken at the right time, don't hurt the fetus!"

"Humph!"

"What's the use? You've heard about Su Shun's rebellion in the past two days, right? How many Gege and princesses have been sold into the Drunken Floating Building? You know what this drunken floating building is for, right?

The emperor is a little frantic about this, if he knows this, you will end up drunk! There's no such thing as a Nyo Co Lu family name there. ”

The queen has it, who is it, Yang Meng and the queen know best, this is also a back hand from Yang Meng, some things will not be allowed in the future!

"Do you want to learn from that Sushun?"

Sometimes, it is necessary to be obedient, those dirty things that Yang Laosan and the emperor did, Niu Colu saw and heard with his own eyes, if Yang Laosan plucked this matter, the emperor really did it, and many times, being a master is also very helpless!

"Who knows? Raise it with peace of mind! Maybe the future seat will still be his! Let's go! ”

Pointing to his still flat stomach, Yang Meng gave Niu Colu a reassuring pill and left the imperial city in a hurry.

Su Shun has the ambition of usurping the throne, and when he did things, he did not disturb the people of Jingshi too much, and the people of Jingying also acted according to martial law to kill people, although the people of Jingshi knew that someone was making trouble, but how many people were killed, the people did not know.

But this kind of thing will spread slowly, Yang Meng went out of the noon gate, and after taking a turn on the street, he turned the military plane again, and now the military plane is only Peng Yunzhang and Du Han, and when he enters the military aircraft, Peng Yunzhang is closing his eyes to recuperate, while Du Han is busy working.

"Lao Peng!"

"Oh...... The ministry is here, what's the matter? ”

After a busy night, Peng Yunzhang's spirit was obviously insufficient, and when he saw Yang Laosan coming, he knew that he had something to do again.

"The matter of the military aircraft alternate must also be done, and after noon, let the emperor have an idea!

In the next post, I will inform the Admiral of Jiumen, and ask him to practice and train the people of the capital in the past few days, from fighting fires, defending the city, to carrying the materials for defending the city, and then organizing the people to dig a few wells in the capital.

There is only one purpose, don't let the people of Jingshi be idle, practice for half a month first! ”

listened to Yang Laosan's words. Peng Yunzhang also knew that he was slacking off. It can't be done. The eyes and ears of the people in Beijing are the most well-informed, and according to Yang Laosan's meaning, the battle between Beijing and Tianjin may be fierce, and the people of Beijing who have trained them can be regarded as preparing for war in advance.

"Alas...... The ministry thinks properly, Hongju! Come as the ministry wants!

In the past few days, let the household department release some food, take care of the food when the people are trained, and let the Admiral of the Nine Gates train these people fiercely. As long as it is the people of Jingshi, one is counted as one, and it is good to make them listless! ”

Peng Yunzhang's order made Du Han a little surprised, this is not a good thing! Toss the people so much, aren't you afraid of accidents?

"Zhongtang, Ministry, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right?"

Regarding the matter of Sushun, except for Yang Meng and others, even the Beijing soldiers who were directly involved did not know how many people were killed, and Du Han was kept in the dark. He is also upright, and what is in his heart? Just say it.

"Hongju, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't say what you shouldn't say, let you do what you do!

Ministry, the old man thought about it, the candidates for the military aircraft, one is the Ministry of Industry Lang Chinese Xiang, the second is the Ministry of Ceremonies Lang Baojun, the third is Guanglu Temple Qing Chenglin, the fourth is the emperor's scripture master Kuang Yuan, now the military aircraft is not full of ministers, the first three are still entered into the military aircraft for the good, as for Kuang Yuan, let him help the old man! ”

One sentence sent Du Han to run an errand, and now the Manchu ministers are withering, Wen Xiang, these third-rate Manchu ministers, even if they are the only remaining figures in the Jingshi, and the Manchu ministers who are higher than their position are afraid that only the three eastern provinces have them.

"Hmmm! That's it! These three people are here, let them take on more errands to hone their skills, and the military aircraft can't all be Han soldiers, right? ”

The matter of face must always be maintained, it is nothing more than the affairs of Beijing, Yang Meng has basically controlled it, and how the military aircraft is organized is also a casual matter.

After leaving the military aircraft office and returning to Yang's mansion, Yang Meng was not idle, took a look at the back house, and began to plan the railway with Xu Ziwei.

During the Crimean War, the railway had an advantage in supply, and the area around Beijing and Tianjin was basically plain, although it was now frozen and not suitable for building a railway, but the current train load was not very large, even if the foundation was poor, it was only used temporarily, even if there was a problem, it was not a big problem, and it was a good thing for the newly emerging railway, or many problems.

"Third master, how to solve the problem of this people's husband? Nowadays, there are more and more people in Beijing, and the railway network in the Beijing-Tianjin area will consume a lot of manpower, right? ”

Jingshi is not as good as other places, there are many people, and now that the Yang family has just entered Jingshi, many things are not easy to do, it is too outrageous.

"Silly, huh? There are 400,000 people outside the Beijing Division, and they are idle, so they should be trained as troops, so let the Xishan side quickly organize manpower, 400,000 people, and at least lay a railway in the Beijing-Tianjin area within two months. ”

Yang Meng's requirements are too high, although he has never seen real railways and trains, but Xu Ziwei has generally seen how the railway is laid, two months, 400,000 people, in a hurry!

"Third master, after all, it's the first time! Two months, short! ”

"I know! Now it has been nearly two months since Britain and France got the news, and giving you another two months is already a grace period, four to six months is the time for Britain and France to organize an attack, the longer it drags on, the greater the scale of the war, and the New Year will be in two months, and after the New Year, there should be a war.

Lao Tzu also wants to give you half a year, but! Britain and France don't give it!

Hurry up and urge the Yunnan side, let the men and horses of the four major battalions rest in the past two days, and when the route is formulated, they will work day and night, so that two months will become four months, and the war will be fought day and night, let them hone it! ”

Again, before the war came, they thought they were well prepared, but when the war came, they realized how inadequately prepared they were.

According to Yang Meng's estimate, the British and French coalition forces will be able to send the first batch of reinforcements within three months, and the British and French will not move, which means that the scale of the war will also expand.

"Third master, after all, the four battalions are the main force to participate in the war in the future, what should I do if I am tired after doing this? Moreover, the training of the four battalions is still slightly insufficient, in such a short period of time, the two militia regiments of Zhilu have just learned to shoot, it is better to transfer another 100,000 new troops into Beijing!

The people of Yungui Wuzhuang have also become a person! ”

Today's new army is also in trouble, and the addition of the Zhilu militia is just like the Taiping Army recruiting a large number of new recruits back then, which directly dilutes the combat effectiveness of the new army.

Although Wei Huozi's southwest militia is the strongest, the combat power of the other three militia groups is far behind.

"It's a bit difficult! Recruit troops in Wuzhuang in Yunnan! Pay double salaries, give ten taels in Yunnan, five taels here, fifteen taels of silver in January, and a pension of five hundred taels for those killed in battle, free and voluntary, see how many soldiers and horses can be raised? ”

Yunnan's new army, is Yang Meng's hole card, now the situation in Beijing has just stabilized, but the situation in the Qing Dynasty is still shaky, not until the Qing Dynasty is one, Yang Meng does not want to use his hole cards, after all, what the future war is what scale, what it looks like, he can not predict, once beyond the expectation too much, there is such a hole card, but also some insurance.

Inform the stewards of Zhilu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Northwest China, establish Wuzhuang with half cultivation and half training, and distribute some grain, and within three months, organize at least 3 million strong men between the ages of 20 and 50, and let Yunnan allocate 1 million breech guns from stockpile, and let the Xishan side rush to produce 5 million large blades in the near future, and the newly built Wuzhuang will have three people with one gun and one knife, and seize the time to train the troops.

Let Ding Baojun in western Yunnan select a group of old new troops to train troops in various places. Two lakes and two Guangzhou, began to form a new army, a total of 50,000 in one province, 200,000! ”

Controlling the Jingshi, Yang Meng's territory has become larger, and his pressure is also increasing, the national war, just two words on the lips, really calculated, only to know how thick the two words of the national war are! (To be continued......)
