"Vietnam has got money again!"

Looking at the documents sent by Xie Jigui, Liu Xian smiled brightly. {X. 5,000 rifles, 20 Han and Yuan 1 and 2 guns, 50 large and small mountain splitting guns, and 50 mortar cannons. A hundred thousand taels of silver. Huang Jiyan, this is definitely a fortune. "Lao Tzu also made a fortune!"

"At the original price, no, give him another twenty mortars. Old Fan, you send someone to sign the agreement. The teaching team has been assigned manpower and is ready to be sent again. Liu Xian said happily.

He didn't care how the Vietnamese court got the money. Anyway, if the money falls into his hands, it's his.

Liu Xian is now more worried about the purchase of land in Qinzhou and how to get his hands on the Qinzhou Port in the future generations of Qinzhou Bay. Qinzhou does not belong to Guangxi, it belongs to the Lianzhou Mansion of Guangdong, although it seems that the entire Lianzhou Mansion is in the belly of Guangxi. But it just doesn't belong to Guangxi, and it completely separates Guangxi from the sea.

The seat of the Lianzhou Mansion is in Hepu, and Qinzhou is a scattered state, and although the governor is over forty years old and an old-fashioned official, he does not necessarily dare to disobey Liu Xianam's intentions. Liu Xian did not say that he wanted to build a large steel plant in Qinnan, and the people sent out only said that he would build a factory and build a house. In the eyes of all Chinese officials, Liu Xian is also a Westernist through and through, and although he does not have a close relationship with the Western-style bigwigs of Prince Gong's family in the Central Committee, what he does is indeed a Western-style faction. And he is a very smart Westerner.

It is true that the Westernists in Xianghuai, Chu and other places have been working for so many years, and one after another machine bureaus and factories have been built, which has had an effect on the enrichment of the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But I only saw that the Westerners spent money. It is also an indisputable fact that there is no money derived from foreign affairs. Although the Westernization Movement is the slogan of 'self-improvement' and 'seeking prosperity', it has only just passed the first stage of development. It's not time to get rich yet. The original time and space also had to wait for more than a year later, Li Hongzhang opened the steamship investment bureau, which was formally established in Shanghai in January 1873, stipulating that the government supervised the business office and attracted investment and raised shares. It is the first step of the authentic 'Westernization Movement' to shift from military enterprises to civilian enterprises, and from government-run to government-supervised and commercial-run enterprises.

The emergence of Liu Xian directly changed this general trend. The Westernization movement under the Qin military system was a 'quest for wealth' from the very beginning. It has developed to the present, in the eyes of all. Liu Xian's establishment of a factory and 'seeking wealth' have been equated.

Lian Qindao should not come forward to stop it. Officials in Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangdong, in particular, are 'well-informed'. No matter how stubborn he is, his brain is much more active than that of the officials in the mainland. And when the raw rice is cooked and cooked, Beijing can't make an order for Liu Xian to dismantle the steel plant. In that case, Liu Xian will dare to rebel!

The steel mill Liu Xian is going to be located in Jianshan Town, a southern suburb of Qinzhou. The port of Qinzhou is set on Legou Island. This is also the location of Qinzhou Port in the former life, and the geographical conditions are the most advantageous in the entire Qinzhou Bay.

Liu Xian was ready to let Fan Debang go to Qinzhou. Compared with the Qinzhou incident, Vietnam's re-purchase of firearms is a piece of cake, not worth mentioning. "Prepare a few generous gifts, and send Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Lianqin Daotai." As long as the purchase of land can be smooth, it will cost thirty or fifty thousand taels of silver. Liu Xian is also willing. It's just a month's harvest in Liuzhou Industrial Park. Steel mills and ports were the cornerstones of the Qin army.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since Liu Xian entered Guangxi. The Qin army under his command has never experienced a major battle except for the elimination of dozens of bandits in Guangxi. However, for the current combat effectiveness of the Qin army. Liu Xian is really not worried.

This is not just a simple training and the quality of a soldier and a sergeant, but an officer's war mentality. is now giving Liu Xian the machine gun cannon during the First World War, relying on the experience of injecting water into the forum in his previous life, Liu Xian can also make it look like it.

The Qin army seized the world's biggest opponent, the Xianghuai and Chu armies, what kind of war mentality do they still have? If you look at the Sino-French War and the First Sino-Japanese War in history, and look at the fate of the New Army in history, it is completely the traditional Chinese war mentality. Even if some generals died heroically in the war of resistance against the enemy, it could not hide their backwardness in commanding operations. One tragic battle after another, if you get rid of the aura on the outside, you can see the pure blood and courage in the inner essence!

That is, the generals dare to fight, are willing to fight, and will not retreat from the fight to the death. Urge your soldiers to keep consuming on the position.

Almost all of the generals at the end of the Qing Dynasty were trained in the battles of the Taiping Rebellion, and some of the traditional Chinese war thinking was deeply rooted in their minds. The same is true of Shi Dakai, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng and others of the Taiping Army, and they are very typical examples.

Such thinking made the Hunan and Huai Chu armies not appear to be behind the times when they suppressed the domestic uprising. Because the generals of the rebel army in China are also of the same level and one era. Liu Yongfu's paper bridge victory, Feng Zicai's Zhennanguan victory, using the arrogance and arrogance of foreign strong armies, can also achieve several victories.

But when it really came time to fight a big war, the troops changed from a formation of 10,000 men to an all-out war of hundreds of thousands of people. Liu Xian really didn't regard the Xianghuai Chu army as an opponent at one level. Unless in the past few years, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang can send all their cadres to European military academies for a few years of further study.

With the acceleration of the development of guns and artillery and the decoupling from the times, the disadvantage on the battlefield will become more and more great. Their growth on the road to the future is not even as good as the dirt eight roads that are sixty years behind them. Because of the soil, because people know nothing, they can learn and accept war in war. It is not the same as the Hunan Huai Chu Army, because of the imprisonment of the old military ideas in their minds, it is not easy to accept the influence of the new military ideology.

Today's officers of the Qin army, whether they are high-level or middle-level, are far inferior to the cadres of the Xianghuai Chu Army when it comes to the general trend of Taoluo. It can be said that in the struggle of battle after battle, it is often the Qin army that wins in the collision. The battle mode of the Qin army is somewhat rigid, and there are many rules, but this is the development mode of war. The more the times passed, the less attention paid to stratagem in military battles became. Those rules and regulations ensured that the Qin army would play its own battles to the fullest. And a modern army, it is enough to be able to do this.

……

"Kill—"

Military camp outside Liuzhou. On the school ground, the soldiers of the Qin Army of the two brigades were fighting fiercely with wooden guns.

The era has entered the era of breech guns, but will Liu Xian not know the importance of white-knuckle combat? He didn't want his Qin army to train to the end, and it became a 'Qing army' that didn't dare to fight hand-to-hand. Isn't the appearance of the new Vietnamese army now the future Ma Tofu Qing army?

The head of each wooden gun was wrapped in coarse cloth and stained with lime, and a poke guaranteed a white mark.

The soldiers did not wear rattan armor, and they were all regular Qing army uniforms. There is a middle coat on the inside, and a number gown on the outside, which is very thin. Being slammed with a stick is really not fun.

But among the thousands of soldiers in the field, no one will worry about the pain and keep their hands at this time. Because today's competition is about an honor, about who is the first in the white-knuckle battle of each battalion of the Qin Army in Guangxi!

Compared with the shooting competition, the competition of white-knuckle combat is really brutal. But Liu Xian also used this barbaric competition to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army. Now is not an era when missiles and planes are flying all over the sky, and white-knuckle warfare still plays an irreplaceable role in operations.

Whether an army can have strong combat effectiveness depends not only on firepower, but also on whether the soldiers have the courage to launch white-knuckle battles again and again.

Chen Jing hit the opponent in front of him in the stomach with one blow, and the man let out an 'oh', holding his stomach and returning to the ground on the spot. Rourou's stomach was hit hard by a stick, and even Chen Jing doubted that he would smash his opponent's intestines.

Chen Jing didn't have time to say sorry to his opponent, and he didn't even have time to think about this opponent who was going to take the initiative to go down after getting up. The wooden gun retracted, and immediately clenched both hands to the side, and the head of a wooden gun touched the body of Chen Jing's gun and wiped Chen Jing's arm.

This is the real white-knuckle battle. You never know when and from where the next bayonet will come in.

"Kill-" The opponent's wooden gun was withdrawn, and Chen Jing's counterattack arrived. It's a new fight. As the squadron leader of the first squadron of the brigade, Chen Jing must take the lead.

The contingent of 1,000 men was rapidly dwindling. In just half an hour, five or six hundred people fell.

The soldiers walked out with their legs lame, or clutching their stomachs, chests, and ribs, grinning their teeth. There was even blood at the corners of some people's mouths and a jet-black patch on their faces, which was from the butts of their guns.

No one dares to continue to lie on the school grounds after being 'fatally wounded'. The Qin army's competition and drill in the army under this intensity is not a day or two, and playing a scoundrel will have to suffer a lot.

The brigade of five hundred people fell by two or three hundred, and if it was a real battlefield, the team would have retreated a long time ago.

But on the school field, both sides must fight until the last moment. This was also a kind of tempering of the will of the Qin soldiers.

Of course, in the real battle, if the Qin soldiers launched a white-knuckle charge, then the Qin soldiers who formed the triangular formation would definitely have not only rifles but also pistols in their hands. A large number of Colt revolvers imported from the United States were equipped with infantry units, and in addition to the garrison of his military headquarters, at least 500 veterans of the Qin army were equipped with Colt revolvers. At the same time, a large number of pistols made by the Qin army themselves were also equipped in the army. However, the quality really can't be compared with imported goods, Qin Jun's own pistol, most of the parts are castings, whether it is hardness or life, compared with the original Colt revolver, they are all grandchildren.

And because Qin Jun privately produced Colt pistols, whether it was Berding who served in the medical office. Stanford and Schubert. Duke, or an old friend of Maisheng & Co. Bell. Falls, all protested to Liu Xian. Because Liu Xian obviously knows the 'patent law'. (To be continued......) R640
