Young Master Meng praised him verbally, and gave him twenty yellow coats, which were according to Young Master Meng's size, from two years old to twenty years old, which was done by the Empress Dowager Ci'an for Young Master Meng.Young Master Meng Khan, handed over the holy decree to Qiu Yun beside him, whether it was to reward him with some silver, who wanted their verbal praise, "It's okay now, you don't need to make sleeping clothes in the future." ”Qiu Yun and Xuan Zonglu, Xuan Hongtao, everyone is a big sweat, and they have never heard of wearing a yellow coat as pajamas.However, a one-time reward of twenty sets of yellow jackets for one person is only Young Master Meng.This time, Young Master Meng set off, except for Timothy Li who stayed in Tianjin, Young Master Meng brought all the high-level executives of Klinsmann Foreign Firm who could be brought, and even Catherine, who was very good at decoration, also brought it, Sophia was too young to go, Young Master Meng asked Catherine to put Sophia in the open garden and hand it over to Xuanhuang for a period of time.Sophia now in addition to skin color and appearance, hair color is different from Chinese, the tone is already a Beijing-Tianjin tone, do not look, but also think that it is a Chinese child, children learn things the fastest, especially language.At this time, the Great Qing Dynasty, except for Shaanxi and Gansu, was basically free of war.Officials at all levels in the provinces are stepping up efforts to urge the people to resume farmland production, hoping to rejuvenate all industries.With the death of Lao Zeng, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army has long been dismantled, and Li Hongzhang's Huai army has also been basically cut out, except for the flag battalion, the green battalion and some of the Hunan Yong and Huaiyong who have not been dismantled, all of which have been converted into national economic divisions, only in the hands of Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, there are tens of thousands of Chu Yong and Lao Xiang troops, which are not part of the national economic system.Now the ones who can get 30,000 elites on hand are Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang.However, Young Master Meng did not underestimate the elite of less than 80,000, these are all alternated by the old Hunan army, and they are all powerful troops who have experienced a hundred battles.Zuo Zongtang asked Hu Xueyan to help him contact tens of thousands of veterans from the Chu army, and they were also sent to Tianjin in a steady stream, and Young Master Meng asked them to go to the factory first, go to the dock to work first, and let people inspect a section first.In Young Master Meng's concept, he doesn't need a wild wolf regiment like a fierce seafood, he doesn't need Li Yunlong, he just needs troops like Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and the future is a regular army battle, a combination of infantry and artillery, a combination of sea and land, multiple arms, and an era of advanced weapons.Discipline and loyalty to Master Meng are the first criteria for Master Meng to choose people.After more than ten years of war, Kyushu has been devastated, and all industries in all directions have been sluggish.The court is tired, the people are tired, and the Qing Dynasty is really time to recuperate.But the European countries did not agree.They did not allow the Great Qing Kingdom to recuperate, and they stepped up their efforts to devour the frontier lands of the Great Qing State and plunder all the resources that could be plundered in the border areas of the Great Qing Kingdom.Russia in the north and northwest of the Qing Dynasty, France in the southwest, and Japan in the east.
Even Vietnam and Korea, two vassal states of the Qing Dynasty, did not want to let go.First, the military commander of the Kokand Khanate, Aguba, took advantage of the civil strife in the Qing Dynasty to lead his troops to invade and occupy most of Xinjiang, and then Russia took advantage of Aguba's eastward invasion to forcibly occupy the nine cities of Ili.At that time, the Great Qing State did not establish diplomatic relations with Kokand, and it could only be resolved by force.However, at that time, the army of the Great Qing Kingdom was fighting against the Twist Army, and it could not spare its hands to use troops against the northwest.Russia, on the other hand, established diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty, which could resolve the matter of the country's forcible occupation of Ili through diplomatic channels.But Russia's protests against the Qing Dynasty were ignored.Xinjiang is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, but Zuo Zongtang cannot send a single soldier to Xinjiang, because a large-scale uprising is breaking out in Shaanxi, Gansu and even Qinghai, and Zuo Zongtang has no respite.Maybe the Qing Dynasty is really at the end of the road, the interior is a little quiet, but the border is full of smoke, and it can't be covered.Although the border crisis was everywhere, it did not affect Li Hongzhang's enthusiasm for setting up foreign affairs to make money.In the face of such a situation, although he got the long-planned Danzhou, he still felt that Yali Mountain was big.After all, Young Master Meng's journey has not even taken the first step, so to speak, until he really got the prototype of Danzhou, the military industry of Danzhou, and has an armed force belonging to him, which can ensure the self-sufficiency of the base area, and the food and clothing of the people is not a problem, this is the first step of Young Master Meng, the first step to help Xuan Hongtao to the fourth product, the Tianjin prefect and the prime minister Yamen hosted Zhang Jing is fully responsible for the second foreign affairs of Tianjin, and asked the court about Xuan Zonglu.
Zonglu's Liaoning governor did not approve the appointment, and Young Master Meng asked the Duke of Siguo to use diplomatic pressure to force the Qing court to let Xuan Zonglu go to the third, allowing the Kingdom of Hawaii to establish the Consulate of the Kingdom of Hawaii in the name of Prince Richard Harris in the Great Qing Kingdom and ceding Dandong to the concession area of the Consulate of the Kingdom of Hawaii, with a lease period of one hundred years, these three wishes can be successfully realized within half a month, and Young Master Meng is still very happy Everyone is taking the luxury speedboat of Young Master Meng, this luxury speedboat, It's purely a young master who burns money to play, let's say it's a freighter, it can't transport much goods, it's a passenger ship, at most a hundred people at a time, and when it comes to two hundred people, it's already very difficult.Without artillery, let alone a battleship.Except for Young Master Meng's guards, from the entire Tianjin American Concession under his jurisdiction, Zhang Decheng and Wei Kuiheng, Xuan Yuewen, and Dazhi jointly selected more than 300 people, all of whom were German Mauser rifles, and formed a battalion first This is the most traditional infantry battalion, the foundation is to the point that it can no longer be basic, all revolvers are all the same, but they are somewhat similar to the police force.This was originally selected from Young Master Meng's guard troops, and it also added a lot of people from the original Chu Army, although those people have rich combat experience, but they are not young, carefully selected, there are only more than a hundred, and they are all between twenty-five and thirty years old, if they are too old, Young Master Meng doesn't want it.Because if you're older, it's not easy to teach, and this is a new-style army, after all, it's different from the old-fashioned army of the past.Moreover, a lot of people haven't played with guns yet.Young Master Meng is building the army according to the minimum standard, in Young Master Meng's army building concept, the division commander level is the basic unit, if a country even has a division-level army, what kind of country is it like, the number of a division is about 10,000 to 11,000 people.t1706231537:
