Just now, Young Master Meng has already seen the officers and soldiers chasing the bandits, and has a basic understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, the infantry and the green battalion don't know how, anyway, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is really capable of it.At least it is used to fight bandits.If the bandits want to talk about white-knuckle combat, it is similar to the iron cavalry, but the breath that was chased just now has not even evened out, and they have suffered a loss in physical strength.Two to fight one, the number of people also suffered a big loss, cold weapons, especially small shares against small shares, the difference in the number of people is very big Two officers and soldiers fight one bandit, basically effortlessly.The second boss saw that the situation was not right, and after killing an officer and soldier, he rolled a few times, pretended to be dead on the ground, and then took advantage of the fierce fighting to climb the mountain and run away.More than 20 people died in the Eight Banners Iron Horse, and the remaining more than 80 people surrounded a bandit boss, who was completely desperate and held a big knife.The general sneered, picked up the bow and arrow, and hit the boss in the chest The bandit boss covered the arrow in his chest and fell down with his eyes open.The whole army was wiped out, and neither the officers and soldiers nor Lu Kangtian found that they had escaped from the second master.When the officers and soldiers came back, Young Master Meng said calmly: "Congratulations, my lord, when I get to Shengjing, let my grandfather exchange the broken silver for the brothers, I will not break my word." ”Mr.
Tong smiled and said: "Don't worry, can you still believe that Tianjin Meng Young Master has heard of the name for a long time, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation." ”Young Master Meng nodded, there is no need to talk nonsense with such a small character, he is now the son of the governor's family, and in modern times, he is the son of the governor's family.However, this time he encountered bandits on the way, which made Young Master Meng very injured, and the combat effectiveness of his troops was not much different from that of bandits, which made it difficult for him to accept, it seems that compared to the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, even if his battalion is all pulled out, in the wild, it is not necessarily the opponent of a hundred-person Eight Banners Iron Cavalry team.Although it is already the era of hot weapons, the dominance of cavalry in the army is still amazing.Young Master Meng can't understand such a Qing army anyway, why was he humiliated again and again in the back, the Qing Dynasty had many soldiers at this time, and the weapons were not bad, how could it be easily defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance, it can only be said that the combat effectiveness is extremely low, extremely poor, and the Boxer Rebellion, let's not talk about it, it is a group of superstitious and invulnerable swords, spears, and cold weapons.Speaking of the official army alone, this is a "new army" equipped with foreign guns and cannons and trained according to Western-style methods since the Beiyang Naval Division was completely wiped out in the Sino-Japanese War, called the "Armed Guard Army", which is divided into five armies, left, center, and right, with more than 10,000 people in each army, totaling more than 50,000 people.Although in addition to Yuan Shikai's "Wuwei Right Army" went to Shandong and Song Qing's "Wuwei Left Army" was stationed inside and outside Shanhaiguan, the "front, middle, and rear" armies were deployed on the Jinjing line, and there were also palace guards and Eight Banners soldiers in Beijing.The more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the capital attacked the foreign embassy area guarded by less than 1,000 people, bombarded the infantry with artillery, dug tunnels and set fire to them, and they were busy working for more than a month before they could overcome it, and even the foreign flags on the roofs of the houses were fluttering in the wind as usual.Or the problem of the upper level, with the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is not a problem to raise 100,000 elite iron cavalry, 100,000 elite iron cavalry, plus a Huai army of about 100,000, it is okay if the first day is defeated, it can still be defended on land It can only be said that the upper layer decides the lower level, and it can't all be blamed on the soldiers, this hundred-person cavalry team is by no means a decoration, General Sheng Jing's army has aroused the vigilance of Young Master Meng Young Master Meng secretly decided that he needed to get equipment as soon as possible and develop a cavalry battalion, otherwise, It's hard to keep the base area, it's obviously an independent colony, you can't just let the Qing court help at every turn, so much without face and money to get horses, it's not difficult, the key, the cavalry battalion needs to be trained and, Young Master Meng admires the cavalry of modern Europe, France, England, Germany, you can.It seems that the Russian cavalry is also coaxing, anyway, the Qing cavalry, which is still at the level of traditional tactics, is not good, but Young Master Meng can't even resist the armed forces.On the way to Shengjing, Young Master Meng quietly recruited Lu Kangtian, and talked about his idea of forming a cavalry battalion, and the war horse was one thing, Young Master Meng thought that the most important thing was that Young Master Meng, a coach with excellent tactical concepts, took these things to heart.Young Master Meng asked Lu Kangtian to arrive in Shengjing, so he contacted the office of Klinsmann Foreign Company in Shengjing to start purchasing materials and war horses, as for war horses, he would ask Xuan Zonglu to help, so that the people below would have a bottom in their hearts first.This matter is top secret, so let Lu Kangtian handle it personally.The secret service system controlled by Xuan Yuewen and Dazhi has only been rolled out in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and there is still a process of development outside the Beijing-Tianjin area.Otherwise, for such an important matter, Master Meng would let the agent do it.Although the Qing Dynasty was extremely corrupt, most of the people under it were wine bags and rice bags, and no one would care about a barren land, but Young Master Meng has always maintained a high degree of vigilance to Shengjing, in this era, it is only a small city of 10,000 people, larger than Tianjin, smaller than Beijing, and can not be compared with modern county-level cities.Xuan Zonglu rode a horse, with a group of soldiers from the governor's yamen, and waited outside the city gate in person, and when he saw the sedan chair of the young master Meng, he finally put his mind at ease, "Yue Meng, don't be scared This night, I don't dare to sleep all of a sudden, if you don't come again, I will go to pick it up in person." ”Young Master Meng smiled: "It's okay, just a few bandits."
My life is big. ”Xuan Zonglu sighed, "Wherever there is a big life, you have to be cautious, this time it was grandpa's negligence, it was grandpa who didn't think of the bandits, these bandits are really lawless, don't be afraid, when you go back, I will also ask General Sheng Jing and General Ruilian to send someone to escort you." ”Young Master Meng nodded, I don't want to mention last night's incident, this matter, in Young Master Meng's opinion, is really full of knowledge Young Master Meng doesn't know about the situation of bandits, and he is also very worried, I don't know how many such bandits are in the colony, and the equipment of his army is actually the best individual combat equipment of the great powers in China in this era, mainly because the training level of the army is too poor.Young Master Meng came to Shengjing this time, mainly to discuss with Xuan Zonglu about building a trade zone in Danzhou, as well as building a large railway and highway bridge on the Yalu River.Young Master Meng attaches great importance to business and trade, and has already set up an office in Shengjing, and Shengjing also has a branch of Huacui Evening News, but the news of this era is lagging behind, and the newspapers in the Beijing-Tianjin area have arrived in Shengjing, and the fastest is the newspaper a month ago, however, the sales of Huacui Evening News in the Northeast are still good.Distribution offices have been set up in several major cities, where there are also offices of Klinsmann & Co."
Have you settled down, let's rest first."
Young Master Meng smiled slightly, he couldn't see that he was scared because of what happened last night, in fact, Young Master Meng was still very nervous, after all, it was the first time he had seen a bloody battle of more than 100 people.Xuan Zonglu agreed, and asked Young Master Meng to be sent into the carriage, and when they arrived in Shengjing, there was everything, and Princess Qiu Yun and Princess Katrina Kafu also followed Young Master Meng into the carriage.Young Master Meng rested for a day, relieved himself, and talked with Xuan Zonglu, who came to see him, about building a trade zone in Danzhou, as well as building a large railway and highway bridge on the Yalu River.Xuan Zonglu shook his head, "Let this go in advance, don't be in a hurry, you first stabilize your position in your place, let's build a wharf, isn't it more important" Young Master Meng said: "My place, now called Danzhou, Danzhou has too many construction sites, the scale of construction is too large, relying on the local labor force in Liaoning, it is estimated that it is not enough, only by opening trade with North Korea, can we jointly develop and speed up" Xuan Zonglu nodded, "This matter, I'm afraid I can't come forward, you think, you can use Danzhou as a trade zone, I can also make it convenient for businessmen from Liaoning to come and go to Danzhou, but if I am the one who negotiates with the DPRK, once this matter is discovered, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. ”t1706231537:
