Robert obviously already had an idea in his heart: "Well, let's do business for the first time, it's a good omen, a total of twenty lathes, including two large lathes, I think, eighty thousand pounds." ”

Yang Xiaolin's face smiled, Robert is really pure, 80,000 pounds at this time is enough for Robert to go back to the UK to open a relatively large factory! But he didn't say anything, the money he stole just didn't feel distressed, especially those banknotes, except for rubles and yen, the rest couldn't be spent in the Northeast.

"Tomorrow you can get me those machines to Fushun, where I have a business, and they will receive the goods, and if Mr. Robert has nothing to do, I would like to ask you to stay here for a few days, for we are likely to start a second cooperation."

Just when Yang Xiaolin had just returned to the mountain, Huang Bao took Yang Xiaolin's gold and opened a business in Fengtian, collecting all kinds of information for Yang Xiaolin under the banner of doing transit transactions. Fushun has also established a semicolon, although Huang Bao has not provided Yang Xiaolin with valuable clues until now, the real money has already gone out a lot, and the road has opened up a little, so it should not be difficult for him to transport the machine from Robert's hands.

The machine is not ready to be used immediately, in addition to the machine, the arsenal must also have people who can start the machine, originally Yang Xiaolin's plan was to select some people from among those miners and slowly explore with himself, but now he doesn't need to. Because Sun Wen is coming soon, he will negotiate with him on behalf of the Xingzhong Society, and if everything goes well, he can use the human resources of overseas Chinese.

As for the second cooperation that Yang Xiaolin said, it was that he wanted to buy some more guns. At present, none of the rifles used by their own troops are of a uniform caliber, which brings a lot of inconvenience to both combat and supply.

He intended to unify the caliber of the rifles, and to reorganize the troops, and then equip them with reasonable firepower.

After Gu Tianming arrived in Qingyuan, he first invited those squires to have a meal, promising that as long as the squires did not oppose him in the future, he promised not to touch the interests of the squires. Sui Binghe already knew the county magistrate in the county seat of Naliuhe, and he sent a hundred taels of silver to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was also quite polite to him.

Baishan's affairs are going even more smoothly, Baishan County Ling is already very uneasy about his position, in his opinion, being an official is to glorify the ancestors, but if the court comes to chase himself, it will be meaningless. Especially after hearing that Biaozi led the team down the mountain, he hurriedly sent a report to the top to transfer away, but the court did not approve it. Just when the county magistrate felt panicked, Chen De, as an intermediary, set up a line for him and Biaozi.

After the county order and Biaozi met, they talked very happily, and the meal was not finished, and the county order proposed to worship Biaozi as brothers, and Biaozi certainly would not refuse. So when the two of them swore that they would not be born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but the same day, the same month, and the same day, the county commander finally put his mind at ease.

There are also the same for the fourth and fifth companies, Qian Yao wrote a letter to the county order of Tonghua, which means to coexist peacefully. And Liu Xianhe obviously inherited his father's rivers and lakes, and directly sent a knife to Xinbin's county order, which is self-evident.

No matter what means were used, they did not come back in disgrace, during this period of time the team has been expanded, among which Biaozi's men and horses have expanded the fastest, several small bandits in the vicinity have been absorbed by him, and some villagers in Tunzi have also joined the team, in less than a month, Biaozi's men and horses have doubled, and it has approached a thousand.

Therefore, it is very necessary to reorganize, and if nothing else, the current company-level establishment alone cannot adapt to the development of those brothers. Now there are some companies with a maximum of more than 100 people in a squad, which is simply a joke. …,

Yang Xiaolin thought that a squad of sixteen people was enough, and that each squad should have one machine gun, four machine gunners, one sniper, two demomen, and two riflemen. The rifle is now only equipped with American troops, because the rifle is too slow to fire and the reload is troublesome, so the troops of all countries regard the rifle as a chicken rib.

But Yang Xiaolin knows that the biggest advantage of the rifle is its indestructible firepower, especially in close combat, the rifle is like a small artillery, as long as the rifle can keep calm enough, a gun can cause a lot of damage to the opponent.

And pistols are also to be equipped. Pistols are now also the backbone of national armies, and only some commanders wear pistols for the sole purpose of showing their status.

Pistols are much more useful in melee combat than bayonets. In close combat, two people face each other in an assassination stab, and it is generally rare to have the opportunity to stab six times in a row. It's different with a pistol, although the lethality is not very strong, but it can fire six bullets in a row, and the muzzle is flexible.

Yang Xiaolin planned to give those brothers a regimental-level establishment, each regiment should have a first-aid station, each battalion should have an artillery company, each company should have a machine gun platoon, and each platoon should also have a special sharp knife squad. Of course, the brothers became the regiment commander, and he Yang General was always the brigade commander, and the self-appointed one was a very simple thing.

So, this time he is going to spend a lot of money. Development is the time to spend money.

Just when Yang Xiaolin began to spend money, the Qing soldiers in Fengtian City were also standing on the parade ground, this time they had been standing for a full two hours, the sun in July was shining on everyone's faces, the heavily armed Qing soldiers were obviously a little unable to hold on, and a few guys who had drunk too much last night were already pale, and the sweat was falling down their cheeks.

But they didn't dare to move, because Zaitao stood at the front of the team in a military uniform and stood straight, and Zaitao didn't say that it was disbanded, so no one dared to leave.

Zaitao is very young, with a slender figure and a handsome appearance. He held his head high and looked at the team below, his eyes full of worry. Zaitao had long known that these people were unbearable, but he didn't expect that the garbage would look like this, just standing for two hours, and some people couldn't stand it anymore.

"Take a break!"

Zaitao finally spoke, although he didn't say that it was disbanded, but as soon as he gave the order for a moment, the entire Qing army let out a low sigh, as if he had released something.

Zaitao slowly walked down from the stage and came to a Qing army who was yawning: "What? Addicted to smoking? ”

The Qing Jun nodded: "Lord Belle, I haven't taken a bite since I got up this morning, it's uncomfortable." ”

Zhao Erxun next to him hurriedly said: "Lord Belle, this is our veteran, don't look at him like this, but as long as you give him a few puffs, his marksmanship can beat no one in the entire Fengtian City." ”

Zaitao nodded, circled around the Qing army, and then took the German gun on his back: "How accurate can you be?" ”

The Qing army yawned again: "It's not me who brags about Lord Baylor, a hundred steps away, I can hit the sparrow in the tree!" ”

Zaitao loaded the gun with a good bullet and gave it to him: "Give me a shot." ”

The Qing army was a little embarrassed, and did not pick up the gun: "You have to give me a bite first." ”

Zaitao laughed, suddenly raised the head of the gun, and fired a fierce shot.

The gunshot rang out, and a sparrow on top of a big tree more than a hundred paces away fell in response! Everyone was shocked at first, and Zhao Erxun's reaction was the fastest: "Good marksmanship!" Lord Belle is really a god of marksmanship! ”

Under the thunderous applause, Zaitao patted the Qing soldier on the shoulder: "I don't need to smoke two mouthfuls to hit accurately!" You don't have to be a soldier from today, take off your uniform for me now, get out! ”…,

The surrounding soldiers were stunned for a while, and Zaitao strode back to the platform: "I don't care how you got through the previous days, from today on, I will make you a real soldier!" If there are still big smokers, stand up and get out of the way now, don't waste all your energy in the smoke hall and the hook bar for me in the future! Have you seen this portrait behind me? ”

His fingers tapped on Yang Xiaolin's wanted notice on the pillar behind him: "This is a bandit!" He had no salary, no weapons, so he relied on his strength to fight you by snatching some guns and ammunition from you, and as a result, he actually beat you to the ground! Don't you feel a little ashamed?! ”

Zaitao looked at Zhao Erxun and snorted coldly: "More than 3,000 people are stationed in Fengtian, but they only fired two cannons, and one by one they ran away like rabbits!" It's the same with the Russians coming to beat you in the year of Gengzi! What else do you do besides running? ”

The army below was quiet, and no one dared to speak. Zaifeng took a breath: "Of course, the imperial court also has mistakes, the selection of generals is not strict, the army is not effective, and the arrears of food and salaries are all the faults of the imperial court. Now that the lord is here to take you, I will tell you first, the arrears of food and wages will be made up for you, but from today onwards, the lord will treat you, do you hear? ”

The Qing soldiers below said sparsely: "I heard it." ”

Zaitao said loudly: "What did you say? I can't hear you. ”

"I heard you!"

"Louder! I still can't hear it! ”

"I heard you!"

"Good!"

Zaitao clapped his hands after speaking, and the soldiers next to him hurriedly carried over a few large boxes, which were full of white silver. Zaitao said: "See, the lord is not an empty talker, the money is here, who can get it depends on your ability, now let me go out of the city to run five kilometers, and the fastest army to come back will pay you military salaries!" ”

Those Qing soldiers immediately started the five-kilometer run, they had never worked so hard before!

Watching the sergeants run out one by one, Zhao Erxun let out a long sigh: "Lord Belle, these people are some bandits and militia groups that we just recruited after coming to Liaoxi, and they are used to being scattered, and it is probably not an overnight thing to refine into an elite army." ”

Zaitao still stood upright: "Isn't Yang Dagui also a bandit?" I can do what he can do, and I will definitely do it better than Yang Dagui! The Northeast is the land of the dragon veins of our Qing Dynasty, let me tell you Lord Zhao, this time Lafayette asked me to suppress bandits, but I don't think so, if the Lord came from Beijing specifically to suppress bandits, wouldn't it be too expensive for him to fight ghosts? ”

Zhao Erxun asked, "What does Lord Belle mean?" ”

Zaitao smiled and said very confidently: "Lord wants to build an elite army, kill Yang Da Ghost, and drive out the Russians and Japanese!" ”

Zhao Erxun gasped, and his eyes immediately changed when he looked at Zaitao, who was a young man, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.

Zaitao obviously knew what Zhao Erxun was thinking. He said, "Don't believe it, the Lord is for you unbelievers." I have already ordered a machine from Germany to build a factory in Mukden, and we will make our own guns and cannons. Also, the master also invited several instructors from the German military academy to come over, preparing to follow the model of the Germans to establish a military school. I want to let those who peep at my Qing Dynasty see that my Qing Dynasty will last forever! ”
