3-51 Rest. weave

The group of diners who ordered pancake rolls and green onions finally did not come again, and even if they dared to come, they would not be able to ask for any good fruit to eat, because Liu Ziguang had already arranged for the security guards stationed in the store, as long as there were people making trouble, the young man would notify a few big men in the upstairs security room as soon as possible, these big men were wearing extremely eye-catching red robes, and they knew at a glance that they were Liu Dashuai's soldiers in the death camp.

In fact, most people in Jinan know that Guihelou is opened by Liu Dashuai, who is admired by all the people, and it is too late to cheer up, how can he come to make trouble, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army will not come to eat the overlord meal, the relationship between the iron factory and the iron buddies of the Xuzhou Army is long-standing, Liu Ziguang is the most outstanding general of their Xuzhou Army, and they are called brothers and sisters, that is, Yuan Dashuai is also very good for Guihe Lou, I heard that when it opened, he also wrote a pair.

Yesterday, those blind guys were found to be the new pacesetter battalion of Shandong Bingbei Road, this group of ruffians was previously stationed in the ** county of Jiangbei in Nanjing, and they were used to eating and taking cards in the county, and they wanted to repeat the old tricks when they came to Shandong, occupying a few restaurants and inns or something as a tertiary industry, their head was Shi Yanshi's regimental training envoy, this master was only a fourth-grade military attaché, and he couldn't be on the stage, but his brother-in-law was indeed the new commander of the Xuzhou Army, Ruan Dacheng, and the official title of Lord Ruan was the right squire of the military department, The governor of Shandong and other places praised the camp field and was in charge of the military affairs of the river commander, and the brother-in-law thought that the title of his brother-in-law was big enough, so he didn't inquire clearly at all and took out the trick in ** county to play treasure, and his subordinates were broken legs only to know that the other party was a hard stubble, and he took the wounded to find the governor's brother-in-law and cried, but he was blasted out by the anxious Ruan Dacheng.

Shi Yan's regimental training envoy is actually an idle errand, there are soldiers in Shandong, but only the 100-person pacesetter battalion under his command can be under his control, this so-called pacesetter battalion is a bit of the nature of a teaching team, after the official establishment of the military preparation road yamen, those landlord arms, recruit bandits, and recruit green battalion soldiers must nominally obey the dispatch of the military preparation road, and the specific command is responsible for the regimental training envoy, that is to say, theoretically Liu Ziguang and his troops are Shi Yan's subordinates, but Shi Daren's new arrival in Jinan has not yet figured out the clue, There is no one to guide him, so he doesn't know about it for the time being.

6 After the bureaucrats at all levels of Fuzhou and County began to ponder the way of wealth after they arrived in office, they all regretted that the Manchurian property worth a little money was divided up by the generals of the Xuzhou Army, Zu Dashou became the general soldier of Dezhou, Zhao Shujiao became the general soldier of Denglai, Man Gui was the general soldier of Qingzhou, Yanzhou was in charge of He Kegang, the head of Jinan's city defense was Wu Sangui, who had the best relationship with Liu Ziguang, and the leading deputy general soldier of the northern battalion of Chengbei was Niu Yong, who had a good relationship with the iron factory, In the final analysis, the whole of Shandong is still under the control of the Xuzhou Army, strictly speaking, they can no longer be called the Xuzhou Army, the Xuzhou Command Embassy Guard structure has been completely abolished, the current implementation of the camp system, the generals are in their own jurisdiction to recruit Shandong recruits, expand their own strength, the so-called Shandong Governor Ruan Dacheng is simply unable to mobilize Yuan Chonghuan for many years of training of a soldier, at most can command the Yamen and the pacesetters of the military preparation road, as soon as the government decree is issued, everywhere the yang and yin violated, the taxation of the tax, The recruitment of the recruits, the whole of Shandong is completely under military control.

There were a total of 2,800 men and horses under Liu Ziguang's jurisdiction, and more than half of these soldiers and horses were used to defend the mineral properties of the iron works in various parts of Shandong.

These people lived in the barracks of the Qing army in the western section of the city, and they trained every day in addition to training.

This kind of training is completely different from the previous training, in the past, it was a drill formation or knife and gun training, and then it was not to lift a stone lock and shoot a target, but now it has become a daily long-distance running and high jump platform, the high jump platform is a training method of Liu Ziguang, mainly to train future paratroopers, the soldiers wear black canvas military uniforms of the whole body, high thick-soled cowhide boots, climb a high platform in turn, jump into the sand pit below with the posture prescribed by the instructor, hold their heads, curl their legs, roll on the spot, and get covered with sand one by one.

After practicing the high jump platform, they began to practice high airborne, a hot air balloon hung high in the sky, the soldier climbed from the soft ladder to the hanging basket under the balloon, and then held the rope and fell from the sky, this is for the future airborne combat and the training is made, the flight altitude and degree of the airship and the balloon are very low, so the parachute is not used for the time being, and the rope can be used to meet the tactical needs.

The soldiers were wearing fingerless black leather gloves and wicker crash helmets, and the soldiers who had descended from the hot air balloon for the first time grinned and complained that the gloves were worn hot, and it seemed that it was time to design a hand-held reduction device.

The training of the motor parafoil is not so widespread, and the selected soldiers are soldiers with excellent eyesight and strong coordination, who first learn how to control the steering of the parafoil with a joystick on the 6 grounds, and then pedal hard to exercise leg strength. After getting acquainted with all this, they glided down the steep slope north of Thousand Buddha Mountain, pedaled with both feet to drive the propellers, and controlled the parachutes with both hands to soar up and down in the sky.

Looking at the loss of his brothers who did not die under the enemy's knife in the training, Liu Ziguang was very sad but still insisted on implementing this kind of training, in this era of steam engines, only by mastering advanced military technology can they be invincible, and the powerful Qing army was repeatedly defeated in the Ming Dynasty's steam crossbows, gas bombs, ironclad chariots, hot air balloons and airships These advanced weapons are proof. Although the 300 Death Battalion is an elite soldier, the number is too small after all, and it is too wasteful to only be used as ordinary cannon fodder on the regular battlefield, so Liu Ziguang means to train them as airborne troops and use them as elite troops in the future.

The two armored vehicles used with the Ming army have been tormented by the bumpy land of Shandong and the rough driving soldiers, the internal combustion engine has frequent failures, axle mechanical fatigue, are some technical personnel are also difficult to solve the problem, helpless had to be reduced to low-level training props, the selected combat vehicle soldiers of the stocky man from the tank hatch drilled in and out, familiar with various control systems, weapon systems, for the future use of similar weapons to lay the foundation.

Duandian's barracks not only live Liu Ziguang's soldiers, but also some technicians of the iron factory, they came to Jinan city wall to assemble steam crossbows, the business of the iron factory always expands with the advancement of the troops, which is inseparable from the close relationship with the Xuzhou army, with the replenishment of a large number of labor force and the support of Yanzhou's high-quality coal, the business of the iron factory is becoming more and more prosperous, and the return of funds is greatly increased, so that the wealth is so rich that it accounts for seventy percent of the shares in the railway construction plan from Xuzhou to Jinan, and has bought some coal mines near Yanzhou with huge sums of money. Liu Ziguang gave full support to the future father-in-law's actions, but he was more concerned about his own interests, listening to the news from Dengzhou that Zu Dashou said that there was a medium-sized fierce fire oil mine in the local area, and the people usually used the underground fire oil to cook in a pot, it seems that the buried depth is very shallow, and the mining difficulty is not great, and the soldiers are not economically minded, and always think that the best fields and the shops in the city are valuable, and they don't care about the news at all, only Liu Ziguang suddenly remembered that this may be the later victory oil field, Hurriedly sent people Pegasus to Dengzhou, with 10,000 taels of silver from Zu Dashou to buy the right to exploit the fierce fire oil, all parts of Shandong are in ruins, it is a vacuum area that the imperial court forces have not yet penetrated, taking advantage of these soldiers in power, Liu Ziguang Xun has purchased a lot of industries, and the base with Jinan as the core gradually has a small prototype.

Finally had a time to rest and reorganize the troops, Liu Ziguang made some adjustments to the troops, the original team, flag, division, sentry, battalion and flag general, sentry officer, general officer, and the official titles of the thousand households are really awkward and unpleasant, and now they are unified in accordance with the new form of squad, platoon, company, battalion, and regiment, the original squad leader is the squad leader, the original flag general is the platoon leader, and so on, the former Wang Dahai Qianhu was seriously injured in the battle and returned to his hometown to recuperate, and Li Yan also became a professional military division, No longer in charge of the administrative work of the army, the 1,000 Iron Guards who followed Liu Ziguang to the Tang Dynasty have been completely subdued, and even the military uniforms have been changed into red uniforms similar to those of the Death Battalion, they have been separated from the sequence of the Iron Guards, and the 1,000 people are organized into three battalions, which are collectively called the Red Shirt Regiment. At the corps level, the General Staff Department, the Logistics Department, the Equipment Department and other institutions were established.

In order to reflect the special status of the death battalion, there are still some differences between the uniforms and the other three battalions, for example, the uniform of the death battalion is blood red, while the ordinary red shirts are mixed with some black rust red. There are also slave-turned-death camp soldiers with a gilded badge on their chests, carved with hammers and pickaxes, to commemorate the hardships they spent together in the ironworks. All the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Yanzhou and the Battle of Jinan, are awarded the corresponding badges, in order to encourage and commemorate, this is also the military division Li Yan came up with a trick, the function of the medal is equivalent to the disabled military certificate of later generations, you can enjoy a variety of preferential treatment, such as eating in Guihelou to enjoy a five-fold treatment, in the future the railway can go back to Xuzhou for free or something.

According to Liu Ziguang's requirement that "the official rank should be clearly marked on the uniform and armor", Ma Huateng, a junior officer in the equipment department, designed a set of military rank system, using the combination of the sun, moon and stars to display the rank, the squad leader has one star, the platoon commander has two stars, the company commander has three stars, the battalion commander is a crescent moon, the military division, the chief quartermaster officer and the chief armament officer are two crescents, only Liu Ziguang has a small sun, the advantage of this rank system is that the scalability is very good, for example, they are all the same battalion commander with a moon, You can also come with a different number of stars to distinguish between high and low seniority. However, the same number of sun, moon and stars cannot exceed three, which means that the largest military rank can be represented by three days and three stars, and even if the army expands to millions in the future, it can continue to be used. The rank mark is embroidered on a small strip of cloth, usually embellished on the shoulder, and hung on the chest during the war, at a glance, respect and humility, the effect is very good, Liu Ziguang greatly praised Ma Huateng, and deliberately asked the decorator to create a cute small animal-shaped badge to be awarded to Ma Huateng alone, so that the pony was flattered, but he couldn't understand what the meaning of the general awarded him this small badge called a penguin......

On this day, Liu Ziguang came back from the ceremony of sending Yuan Chonghuan to Beijing, and was reading the report sent by the equipment department in the barracks, he set up a small factory in Jinan, and recruited a group of skilled carpenters, blacksmiths, and silversmiths to specialize in creating some common weapons such as arrows and lighters and other delicate things. ”

After the last forced purchase incident, Shi Yan was honest for a while, and after asking around, he finally figured out Liu Ziguang's details, more money than him, soldiers stronger than him, no worse than him, and martial arts are even higher than him. Is that all there is to it? Lord Shi obviously didn't have such a big belly, and he sat in the newly built military garrison road yamen with a sad face.

Seeing that his master was depressed all day long, the little leader of the pacesetter who had his leg broken came over on crutches and said: "My lord, do you remember that the dart master who played all over the **invincible hand, didn't he fall into the hands of our brothers." Doesn't this kid rely on two tricks? Let's use this trick to put him down, and then punish him for the crime of plotting to assassinate Shangguan, and behead him in public. ”

Shi Yan immediately came to his senses: "How did I forget this stubble, right!" Usually a good man who can fight ten or eight can't stop such a trick! I am a dignified four-grade group training envoy, and I must not have caused much trouble if I kill a nine-grade master. "It just so happens that Yuan Chonghuan has also entered Beijing, and the biggest official in Shandong Province is his brother-in-law Ruan Dacheng, even if those generals have a good relationship with Liu Ziguang, they may not offend the governor for him. After killing Liu Ziguang, he can also take over his troops and occupy his property, which is really a double win.

After making up his mind, Shi Yan immediately drafted an official document for people to send to Liu Ziguang, and invited him to come over to discuss the matter of recruiting the regiment to train the people in the capacity of the Jinan regimental training envoy of Shandong Military Preparation Road, but secretly ambushed the knife and axe hand behind the hall, ready to wash away the shame in one fell swoop.

Not long after, Menzi came to report: Mr. Liu has arrived. Shi Yan hurriedly went out of the yamen to greet him, and welcomed Liu Ziguang in with a smile, while still politely: "Lord Liu, we really don't know each other, it was mine last time, and I invite my brother Haihan." ”

Although Liu Ziguang didn't have any scheming, he could also see Shi Yan's hypocrisy, and he didn't plan to come, but since he didn't resign from his position as chief official, it was always difficult to openly disobey orders, so he still came, and he didn't bring any guards and soldiers, so he entered the military preparation road yamen alone.

Seeing that Liu Ziguang was only one person, a smile flashed in the corner of Shi Yan's eyes, and he greeted: "Lord Liu, please take a seat, so who, hurry up and serve good tea." ”

With the greeting, a thin man came up with a tea tray, respectfully served a cup of tea to Shi Yan's table, and then walked slowly towards Liu Ziguang, his pace was steady, and his thin hands were full of green tendons, it seems that this guy is a practitioner. But Liu Ziguang, who has been through a hundred battles, didn't care, any martial arts master was scum in front of him, did Shi Yan dare to blatantly assassinate him.

The thin man put the tea tray on the table next to Liu Ziguang's left hand, and then picked up the teacup and offered it: "My lord, please use tea." Liu Ziguang just wanted to stretch out his hand to pick it up, only to hear the man roar like thunder: "Look at the move!" ”

Liu Ziguang subconsciously glared, his pupils dilated, and he raised his hands to hit forward, only to see that the teacup was shattered by him, but a choking white mist was sprinkled on his face with the teacup splitting, it was lime!
