174 Joys and sorrows

Lin Yuan knew that the officials of this era all liked beauty, and it was not uncommon to raise a few beautiful girls at home for fun, but he didn't expect this Yutai to be so careless, and he called two girls to enjoy himself in broad daylight, and asked himself to come together.

Lin Yuan excused himself and said, "I still have something to ask the commander for help......

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to finish speaking, Yutai said: "Don't be busy, let's enjoy it first, this purple cloud and jade are the best goods, enjoy them with their bodies, and they won't think about anything else in this life." ”

Lin Yuan was about to speak, but Yutai shouted at the door in a hurry: "Hurry up, I can't wait!" ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, he saw two male servants walking in, Lin Yuan opened his mouth wide in shock, and thought, "This can't be the two girls Ziyun and Cuiyu." ”

It is not uncommon for rich people in this era to raise a few male pets, but looking at these two male servants, five big and three thick, with a garlic nose and a wide mouth, and thin eyebrows, Lin Yuan looked at Yutai and couldn't help but think of a sentence from his own era: "You have a really heavy taste!" ”

At this time, the two male servants had already walked to Yutai, and Lin Yuan only noticed at this time that each of them was holding a large box in their hands, and the two male servants knelt on one knee and put the box on the side of the kang.

A manservant asked, "My lord, do you want to ask Miss Ziyun to serve first, or do you want Miss Cuibi to serve first?" ”

Yutai said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, order!" ”

The manservant picked up the "Purple Cloud Girl", quickly dug out the Fushou paste from the porcelain box on the side, stuffed it into the smoking gun, took out the foreign fire and lit it, and put the smoking gun to Yutai's mouth, Yutai was like a thirsty and dying person who saw the water, took the mouthful, sucked a few mouthfuls, and in the mist, Yutai groaned like a climax: "Comfortable, really comfortable!" ”

Yutai took a few more sips, as if a dead corpse had returned to the yang, his face was full of energy, and he smiled: "Lord Lin also has a mouthful?" ”

Lin Yuan waved his hand again and again, and excused himself: "No need, no need!" ”

Yutai smiled: "Lord Lin, do you have something?" ”

Lin Yuan's face froze, and he asked, "Commander, what you said just now, we are brothers who have passed our lives, is this still counted?" ”

Yutai sank his face, and there was a bit of anger in his words, and said: "If you talk like this, I don't like to hear it, isn't this a slap in the face!" We flag people talk, spit is a nail! ”

Lin Yuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay! Now that my brother and I are in trouble, brother, will you help or not? ”

Yutai slapped his hand on the table and said, "If you talk like this again, brother, I'm really annoyed!" What's the difficulty, just say it! ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "My brother knows that I am now in charge of the machine bureau, and I have offended some people, and now in order to make the ordnance on the front line, the original old gun has not had time to be repaired, I heard that those people I offended now want to take this matter away, and I want to throw a pair of small shoes for my brother, and I hope my brother will help." ”

Yutai smiled, "How can I help you?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You temporarily swap the guns in the Shenji Battalion with the guns in my inventory, and when the limelight passes, I will replace them again, I don't know it, what do you think?" ”

Yutai said nonchalantly: "Just this little thing, no problem, I will change it with you." ”

Yutai then sent someone to transport the guns in the inventory to the station according to Lin Yuan's requirements, and exchanged the old guns with Shen Tao, and Shen Tao immediately transported the new guns back to the Machinery Bureau.

Lin Yuan waited at Yutai's house for a while, and only then did he realize that the training of this Shenji Battalion was very relaxed, and there was no difference between the guns and the guns, and when the person who transported the guns came back to report that the matter was done, Lin Yuan said goodbye.

Lin Yuan came out of Yutai and got several good news, first, the railway from Shanhaiguan to Panjin has been repaired, and the Qing court originally had a railway from Beijing to Tianjin and from Beijing to Shanhaiguan, so that the transportation speed of various materials can be greatly accelerated.

Second, the letter of appointment from the imperial court has come down, and it is precisely the appointment of Lin Yuan as the superintendent of the Dingwu Army, the command of the Dingwu Army, and the departure of the day to recover Fengtian.

At this time, the Dingwu army was stationed in the horse factory in Tianjin, Lin Yuan considered letting them be stationed in Jinzhou, so that they could enter the battle as soon as possible, Lin Yuan found Chen Fei and said to him: "I want to give you a task." ”

Chen Fei said: "Okay, you can say it." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Let's go to Tianjin together, I will hand over the Dingwu Army to you, you take them to Jinzhou, train and train well, and also, I got 2,000 guns from the Shenji Battalion, all of them are brand new Mauser M1888, I will transfer some bullets to you from the Machinery Bureau, you take them to Jinzhou and Panjin, and use these guns to arm a group of people." ”

Chen Fei asked, "You got the gun of the Shenji Battalion, what if someone investigates it in the future?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's okay, I've thought about it, the training of the Shenji Camp is very lax, and now there are a lot of things on it, no one will care about these things." ”

Chen Fei sighed: "We are now looking for guns and soldiers everywhere, like a group of tired ants, how can we have a little charm of a traverser!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't be emotional, let's hurry up and go to Tianjin together." ”

When they arrived in Tianjin, the two of them acted separately, Chen Fei took Lin Yuan's letter of appointment to the Dingwu Army in the horse factory, and Lin Yuan rushed to the Machinery Bureau to see the production situation.

When he arrived at the machine bureau, it was Luo Chaoying's tea time, but to Lin Yuan's surprise, Luo Lao did not go out to drink tea, but sat in the pile of books, wearing reading glasses, holding a pen, and writing something quickly.

Lin Yuan walked over and asked, "Old Luo, why didn't you go out to rest?" ”

Luo Chaoying was taken aback by Lin Yuan, he took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and was about to speak, when Su Mao came over on the side and said with a smile: "I have seen how hard Luo Lao works, Luo Lao has improved the production process of bullets for us, and now the production speed of our bullets is twice as fast; Luo Lao also worked out for us to imitate the Mauser M1888 rifle; Luo Lao also said that the caliber of our Guards Thunder Cannon is too small and not powerful enough on the battlefield, and now we are designing 82 mm and 120 mm ones. ”

Luo Chaoying glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "Xiao Su, Xiao Lin, I won't accompany you, I still have to give a lecture to the students." After saying that, Luo Lao left in a hurry.

Su Mao hurriedly explained: "Luo Lao said that the military industry must need a large number of talents, and what we lack most now is talents, so Luo Lao will give lessons to the technicians in the factory every day." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Remind Luo Lao to pay attention to his body, how is the production situation of the factory now?" ”

Su Mao said: "According to your instructions, now the Machinery Bureau is focusing on the production of Mauser M1888, Guards Thunder Cannon, armor fragmentation shells, and new explosives, but we are now facing two fatal problems!" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?" ”
