"I'm going to rebel, Governor Zhang, are you with me?"

Before Yu Ke's words fell, a person walked in at the door: "Lord Zhang, you and I have been colleagues for two years, don't make it difficult for me." ”

"Liu Yongfu? …… Yu Ke, you have been preparing to rebel for a long time? Zhang Zhidong's face was full of disbelief.

Yu Ke said lightly:

"Governor Zhang, don't say it so ugly, isn't it natural for the Han people to make tartars?"

"Jiading Santu, Yangzhou ten days, have you never heard of it?"

"Where is this Manchu court worthy of your allegiance?"

Zhang Zhidong asked: "Aren't you afraid of making the people's lives miserable and Shenzhou Lu sinking?" ”

Yu Ke spoke in an impassioned tone and asked rhetorically:

"If I don't rebel, will the people make a living?"

"If I don't rebel, Cixi and Li Zhongtang will work hard to stop fighting for power?"

"If I don't rebel, the French, the British, the Russians, and the Dongying people will not invade China?"

"Master Zhang, it's all come to this point, you still don't understand? From ancient times to the present day, what revolution has not been accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice? ”

"The Qing Dynasty is rotten to the roots. Even if Kong Sheng is alive, he can't save the Qing Dynasty! ”

Yu Ke stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the gloomy sky outside the house:

"The Qing court's gas has run out, and all the Western powers, as well as Dongying, have experienced political reform and industrial revolution earlier than us!"

"Dongying, a small country on the other side of the sea, only began industrial reform in the seventh year of Tongzhi, and it has only been 20 years. The national strength has increased more than tenfold. ”

"In the eleventh year of Tongzhi, he no longer took my Huaxia in his eyes and annexed my Huaxia subject country Ryukyu."

Yu Ke sneered: "And the group of silverfish in the court only care about the party and the differences, and ignore state affairs. At this point, the Westernists are not much stronger! ”

"The old masters in high positions in the cabinet are even more short-sighted and conservative, thinking that they can govern the country and the country by relying on a copy of the Analects, and they have repeatedly hindered the Westernization movement! With these people dragging their feet, why don't you worry about finishing the game? ”

"Even if I don't rebel, how many years can this Qing Dynasty survive?"

"Twenty years? Thirty years? ”

"It has been nearly 40 years since the Opium War, and how many terms have the Manchu Qing court signed in these 40 years to lose power and humiliate the country?"

"Do you want to wait until the Qing court sends out all the land of my Huaxia and then bury it with it?"

Yu Ke recalled that twenty years later, Cixi was in charge alone.

In order to maintain her power, Cixi did not give up power to Emperor Guangxu, and was afraid that foreigners would support the emperor, so she tacitly supported the actions of the Boxers.

And this is giving the Eight-Nation Alliance an excuse to enter Beijing to suppress bandits, and Cixi actually directly declared war with the Eight-Nation Alliance!

Later, the Eight-Nation Coalition was overwhelmed and easily suppressed the Boxers. Cixi hurriedly sued for peace in order to sign the "Xinchou Treaty", and said the famous traitorous saying: measure China's material resources and form a friendship with the country.

After Yu Ke crossed into this world, the person he wanted to kill the most was Cixi.

Originally, he still thought that after he stepped into the realm of refining marrow, he would have the unparalleled force in the world.

went directly to Beiping to assassinate Cixi, and then killed Li Hongzhang, Emperor Guangxu and others.

However, this idea was later dispelled.

If Cixi dies in his hands now, I'm afraid the whole of China will be completely chaotic.

At that time, the scene of warlordism and endless wars will come in advance, and the Western countries will also take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

Yu Ke now has a new army of 5,000 people in his hands.

Although the New Army is nominally Zhang Zhidong, and Yu Ke is only a staff officer of the New Army, the person who has the deepest control over the New Army is Yu Ke.

Since the founding of the New Army, Yu Ke has handled all military affairs, large and small.

He even participated in marching and fighting, arranging troops, and arranging troops.

The four regiment commanders of the new army were all supported by him single-handedly and obeyed him!

Zhang Zhidong's face was cloudy, and he looked at Yu Ke and didn't know what to say.

Yu Ke's tone softened slightly: "Uncle Zhang, come with me to overthrow the Qing court!" With your help, great things will be done! ”

Zhang Zhidong asked, "Do you want to be the emperor?" ”

Yu Ke was a little surprised that Zhang Zhidong would ask this, and shook his head:

"No, I don't want to be emperor."

"Then what are you doing in rebellion?"

"Uncle Chamber, do you know Karl Marx?"

Out of nowhere, Yu Ke took out a German book and its translation.

On the cover of the translation are five glittering Chinese characters.

………………

Go back more than a year.

After Yu Ke was appointed as a staff officer of the new army, he was too busy to touch the ground at first, and he didn't have enough time to sleep.

But as he gradually gained some experience, he became more and more proficient in handling military affairs, and the time and energy he spent were greatly reduced.

After more than a month, I was even able to find time to practice martial arts every day.

So Yu Ke took the time to take his wife to his side.

Like Yu Ke, who left his wife aside and left home for a few months after less than ten days of marriage, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the world.

Zhang Shuyuan was naturally full of resentment, and Yu Ke took office as a staff officer of the New Army for less than half a month.

Zhang Shuyuan sent a letter to Guangzhou to ask, is it every day outside to mess with flowers and grass, don't want him as a wife?

After Yu Ke received his wife's letter, he wrote a letter of two or three thousand words every day for seven or eight days and sent it back to Foshan.

In the letter, while complaining about how tired he was, he exhausted the earthy love words in his mind, and finally calmed down his wife.

Zhang Shuyuan came to Guangzhou with his personal maid.

Before seeing Yu Ke, he didn't plan to give him any good looks.

But when he saw Yu Ke's tired face after being tired for several months and losing weight, he couldn't help but burst into tears and threw himself directly into his arms.

Little Bie is newlywed.

The two returned to Yu Ke's residence, a small courtyard not far from the governor's mansion, and lingered in the bedroom for most of the day.

This time, Zhang Shuyuan took the initiative very much, allowing Yu Ke to unlock a few more postures.

It wasn't until his subordinates came to the door of the house to ask him to go back to preside over official business that Yu Ke broke away from the soft bed with great perseverance and said goodbye to his wife.

For the next two months, Yu Ke was on the line at three o'clock every day:

In the morning, I went to the New Military Academy to train the New Army with Huang Feihong, handle military affairs, and take time to practice martial arts;

At noon, he went to the Governor's Mansion to report to Zhang Zhidong, help staff some military plans, and put forward some suggestions;

When he returned home at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Shuyuan had already cooked the meal at this time, and waited for him to come back to eat together.

Yu Ke didn't want his wife to be tired, so he hired two mothers-in-law and two or three maids to come to the house to serve.

But Zhang Shuyuan still insisted on cooking by himself every night and waiting for him to come back to eat together.

After more than half a month, the new army finally completed its training and gained some combat effectiveness.

Three regiments, totaling more than 4,000 troops, were sent to the battlefield on the Sino-Vietnamese border.

Zhang Zhidong also never fought, and his strategy towards the French army was 'dragging'.

After the 4,000 new troops rushed to the battlefield, they did not build fortifications, but adopted a guerrilla tactic, constantly harassing the French army.

However, due to the huge disparity in firearms and equipment, the new army suffered a lot of losses at the beginning, and only after gaining some experience was it able to withstand the offensive of the French army.

Yu Ke personally commanded several battles and achieved some small victories.

He even went to the front line and led 220 elite recruits to set traps.

When a squadron of more than 100 French troops fell into the encirclement, they immediately opened fire.

Due to the more advanced guns of the opponent, the guns with magazines are used, which have a fast reload speed, a long range, and high accuracy.

The old flintlock pistols used by the new army took more than 10 seconds to reload the gunpowder and bullets after firing a shot, and it took an average of more than 10 seconds to fire a shot.

The power is small, the firing range is short, the accuracy is low, and it is difficult to hit people from a distance of thirty meters.

The French army's use of the Geha M1874 rifle is much more advanced, using paper-wrapped cartridges, which are the predecessors of brass bullets, and the difference is not much.

Although it is also necessary to reload after one shot, it is much faster than the Qing army, and three or four seconds are enough.

Therefore, even if the French army fell into the encirclement, it did not suffer much loss, and only lost a dozen people.

And quickly reacted, to break out of the weak point of the encirclement.

Yu Ke was helpless, but he had already expected this situation.

I saw that he was wearing a hundred catties of steel cast heavy armor and holding a one-meter-and-a-half-long tiger head sword, taking the lead in charging towards the French army.

Yu Ke is more than one meter and nine meters tall, he looks like a little giant, and he has a lot of strength, and he is five or six meters away in one step.

In five or six seconds, they had already rushed in front of the French, and during this time the French had only time to fire a salvo.

As a dirty martial artist, Yu Ke's perception is far beyond ordinary people, and he easily dodged the bullets that shot at the door of his head.

As for the bullets fired at the armor, they didn't bother to dodge, they couldn't penetrate anyway.

Rushing to a French soldier, Yu Ke cut off the opponent with a knife.

Then, I saw that Yu Ke's whole figure turned into a blood-colored whirlwind, flashing left and right among the more than two dozen French soldiers.

In less than half a minute, he killed all the French soldiers around him, and the blood flowed like a river.

Yu Ke shook off the blood on the tiger's head and looked coldly at the remaining French troops.

The New Army soldiers under Yu Ke were stunned. All forgot to fire.

The French soldier on the opposite side was also directly frightened, and shouted in a crash.

He didn't even dare to fire at him again, he threw away the rifle in his hand and surrendered on his knees.

Yu Ke hesitated for a while, and simply chopped up the remaining fifty or so French soldiers, leaving none of them.

Captive? Why take prisoners?

Captured more than 20 French soldiers, maybe as soon as France threatened, the imperial court would order their release, and even hand over Yu Ke, the culprit.

Although this is unlikely, Yu Ke does not want to risk his life to gamble on the bottom line of Li Hongzhang and Cixi.

Not long after this battle, Yu Ke's name resounded between the two armies.

After all, since the war between China and France, France has never suffered such a big loss.

In previous battles, the French army has always relied on its superiority in equipment to suppress Vietnam and the Qing Dynasty.

Although the French army also suffered losses, the casualties of the Qing army and the Vietnamese army were at least ten or even dozens of times that of the French army.

After Yu Ke annihilated a squadron of the French army, the French army was naturally extremely furious, and the offensive increased sharply, causing considerable losses to the new army.

Zhang Zhidong was a little helpless after knowing that Yu Ke had done such a thing, and he was also very worried about Yu Ke's safety.

This kid is his niece and son-in-law, if he dies on the battlefield, how will he explain to his cousin Zhang Sheng?

Zhang Zhidong then ordered Yu Ke to return to Guangzhou, continue to recruit and train new troops, and help him deal with the affairs of the newly built gun and ammunition factory.

As soon as possible, the gun and ammunition factory can produce qualified guns and pills, and establish a production line.

After Yu Ke returned to Guangzhou, he returned to the life of three points and one line: the new military academy field→ the gun and ammunition factory →.

Zhang Zhidong, the governor, is not there, so Yu Ke naturally doesn't have to go to the governor's palace anymore, and there are a lot fewer affairs to deal with, so he has more free time.

The affairs of the gun and ammunition factory are very difficult to handle.

Although Yu Ke has knowledge of firearms beyond this era, it is only in terms of use, and it is impossible for him to create a modern firearm out of thin air.

Just building a firing rifle was enough to make it difficult for him.

The gun and ammunition factory has recruited more than 20 blacksmiths and seven or eight carpenters.

Yu Ke took out the drawings of the firing rifle he had drawn before and explained it to these blacksmith carpenters.

Master blacksmiths need to forge all kinds of gun parts, barrels, magazines, firing pins, and the like.

The master carpenter only had to make the buttstock, the barrel of the gun, and the shell of the bullet from the pulp.

Yu Ke said his request again.

The blacksmiths said it wasn't a big problem, and the carpenters said it was easy.

The next day, Yu Ke saw what they had forged, but he was disappointed.

The various iron parts forged by blacksmiths are not precise enough, and it is difficult to fit them tightly, and they cannot meet the requirements.

As for the master carpenter, Yu Ke was pleasantly surprised, the butt of the gun was better than he expected, but it had not yet been painted with wood paint, and it was easy to wear out or get damp.

But the bullet casing, the master carpenters did not do it finely enough, some big and some small.

The smaller the thing, the harder it is to make.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step.

Although it is difficult to make firearms, Yu Ke is not in a hurry, just take his time.

Three months later, Yu Ke solved the problem of the bullet casing.

Five months later, the bullet production line was set up and the first batch of paper shell bullets of the same size was produced.

Nine months later, Yu Ke finally made a qualified firing rifle.

This firing rifle, designed and manufactured by him, was named Dingguo.

The effective firing range is fifty meters, and the power is about the same as that of the French Geha M1874 rifle.

In this era, it can be regarded as a very top-notch firearm.

After another two months, the production line of the Dingguo rifle was initially completed.

At this time, it was the day when China and France signed the "Sino-French Treaty on Vietnam", which was exactly the same as in the previous history, but the time of signing was slightly different.

Yu Ke was so engrossed in the production of firearms that he didn't know anything about it, thinking that the fighting on the front line was still going on, and it wasn't until a few days later that he learned about it from the "Newspaper" in Shanghai.

Although I don't know the specific details of the terms, I know that Li Hongzhang, these soft bones of the Muyang faction, for the sake of the so-called 'good reputation', do not allow Zhang Zhidong to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Yu Ke was so angry that at the door of the warehouse of the gun and ammunition factory, one by one, he hugged the thick withered willows, smashed them with three fists, and smashed the roots of the tree to pieces.

Then Yu Ke came to the New Military Academy and took away Huang Feihong, who was training the New Army.

I chartered a wine shop in the city, and I didn't talk much, but poured wine into my stomach one jar after another.

Yu Ke's eyes changed from anger and depression to gloomy and murderous intent, and finally to firmness.

After waking up the next day, Yu Ke reported the matter of the new rifle to Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong, who learned that he had finally produced a firing rifle, was overjoyed and returned to Guangzhou in person.

First, I visited the gun and ammunition factory, and then tested a few shots with my own hands, and was very satisfied.

Back at the Governor's Palace, Yu Ke asked Zhang Zhidong about the truce.

Zhang Zhidong hesitated for a moment, and then handed Yu Ke the "Details of the Sino-French Conference Treaty on Vietnam" that Zuo Zongtang telegraphed to him.

I didn't think that Yu Ke's reaction would be so big after watching it.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ke had already persuaded Liu Yongfu to raise troops to rebel together......
