Lu Ming

Chapter 590
In recent years, as the threat of North Korean captives has become increasingly serious, the Shandong theater, which is located behind the battlefield and can support the front line by sea, has become more and more important.Then Dengzhou, as the commander of the theater and the residence of the governor of Denglai, naturally became an important military town.

As a result, there will be more military buildings around Dengzhou City.Leaving aside the dilapidated Weisuo City, there are several newly built camps/schools.Most of these camps were built in the past two years after Sun Yuanhua came to power, and their purpose was to accommodate new troops such as Dengzhou Left Guard, Dengzhou Right Guard, and Dengzhou Defender.

Speaking of the new army, in history, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to end, it seemed that they also practiced the new army—the Beiyang New Army.As a result, the new army did not keep the imperial court's Huahuajiangshan, and the masters were copied by President Yuan Da.

At this moment, Sun Yuanhua, who has entered Christianity and has Western military thinking, the new army drilled in Dengzhou, not only did not kill the enemy for Daming in the future, but also stabbed Daming backhand, and finally hatched King Sanshun.Like the Beiyang New Army, they all nailed coffin boards to their own courts.

So, the new army should not practice randomly if they have nothing to do, this thing will hinder the Lord.

Time: Three days after the night talk in Kong Youde's cabin.

Location: Outside Dengzhou City, Zuowei Yingpan.

The camp of Dengzhou Zuowei can already be regarded as a permanent building.The outer wall of the camp is made of rammed earth and covered with bricks, covering a large area, with a school field barracks and a special firearms shooting range inside.

In other words, since it is a brother unit, there is no one-sided communication.So three days after Kong Youde returned to the camp, the guest general who came to Dengzhou received an invitation from his master.So Zhang Zhongqi, Sha Zhengming and others brought a group of staff officers to Dengzhou Zuowei this morning.

Zhang Zhongqi sat on a black lacquered walnut wood official hat chair, covering a mug of hot tea in his hand.At this moment, he was talking to Li Jiuzheng who was sitting beside him, and from time to time, he glanced at the left guard battalion soldiers who were working hard under the stage.

After some observation, in the eyes of the guests, the spirit of the left guard battalion headed by Kong Youde was well-organized, the basic skills of the ranks of the army were also in place, the entire camp was called tough, and everything seemed to be okay.

As for whether or not this is a specially staged scene to cope with the "superior inspection", the time-travelers don't care, what the time-travelers want is attitude.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was mainly bad.The warlords and officers and soldiers on the left and right are all the same breed, not to mention the elder brother.Fighting in the nest was fierce, and his true colors were instantly revealed in front of Houjin Tieqi.

After a series of traditional military formation changes, cold weapon subjects and cavalry subjects, the highlight of today's observation came: bird gun shooting and artillery live ammunition shooting.

Sun Yuanhua was a disciple of the famous Western scholar Xu Guangqi.The Dengzhou Army formed this time is a new army that Sun Yuanhua intends to use Western-style weapons and Western-style training methods to conduct new military experiments.

After accepting Kong Youde and others before, Sun Yuanhua took advantage of the Christian relationship, not only hired 30 Portuguese soldiers from Macau as instructors, but also bought red cannons and bird guns, and formed China's first pure firearm in the [-]th century force.

With the support of the relatively advanced Sun Yuanhua Western School faction, Kong Youde's artillery and blunderbuss subjects today can be said to be the strongest artillery in Ming Dynasty other than the crossing forces.

However, this is of no use.

Dengzhou Zuowei's firearms display may have refreshed the other troops of Ming Dynasty, but in front of the traversers, it can only be said to belong to elementary school children's play.

Li Jiuzheng, who had already seen the exaggerated firearm system of the guest army, of course didn't dare to show off at this time.After his family's Franc machine gun team finished firing, he smiled on his face and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Master Zhang, brother, this method must not be in the eye of the eye, haha, it made the Fang family laugh."

"Brother Gong, don't worry."

Zhang Zhongqi is now very interested in this square-faced, honest-looking native general who is actually extremely gambler: "Once today is over, everyone will be on their own. Like these artillery guns, including the corresponding training for soldiers, my side are available."

"Is this true?"

To be honest, Li Jiuzheng didn't believe Zhang Zhongqi's promise.

In Li Jiucheng's view, the cannons on the ship and the corresponding training for soldiers should all belong to the "dragon slaying skills".

"Brother Gong, the way of the world has changed." Zhang Zhongqi started the usual fooling mode: "In today's world, China and the West meet, exchange what is needed, and changes are changing with each passing day. It is no longer a play for the emperor behind closed doors."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhongqi's eyes became sincere: "Brother Gong is brave and resourceful, so let's find an opportunity to go to the south to see. After seeing the social development there, I will know who is in the general trend and who is like a weapon like a cannon , Little Doyle."

Li Jiuzheng did not expect the other party to say such a sentence.Although he didn't understand a few uncommon words among them, he still felt the sincerity of the other party.

And Li Jiuzheng immediately realized: Is this the benefit of him getting closer?
Before this, in the internal meeting of the Liaodong generals who dealt with the traversers, the radical and conservative factions were at odds at first.

But guerrilla Li Jiuzheng, who had never made a big splash, went uncharacteristically this time and started a heated argument with Geng Zhongming, who was trying to stay on the sidelines.

Therefore, character determines destiny.Li Jiuzheng's character was born with a lot of gambling elements.

Li Jiucheng in history played an important role in the Wuqiao rebellion: he spent public funds but did not buy enough horses, so he took the opportunity to incite Kong Youde to rebel.

This time, even though there is no Wu Qiao, he still sees an opportunity: if he can communicate with foreign domains, he can make a career in the world, and he can take advantage of the external situation to protect himself. Why not do it?
In any case, the private dissatisfaction with the imperial court caused Li Jiuzheng to insist on forming an alliance with the time-traveling forces without doing any psychological construction.

In the end, Kong Youde accepted Li Jiuzheng's opinion after weighing the pros and cons.Because Kong Youde realized one thing: In fact, from the moment he met Zhang Zhongqi, he had already set foot on a thief ship.

Kong Youde's reason was simple: since people had already spoken about such a major "rebellion incident", they would be sure of everyone, and they probably couldn't be dismissed by saying "I won't get on the boat".

Kong Youde accurately understood the meaning of the traverser: Sir, since I have condescended to come and open my mouth, can I still allow you not to get in the car after listening?What are you thinking?

If you really don't get in the car, there is a high probability that the tyrannical power in the political and military aspects shown by the uncle before will be used on your heads, so I ask you can you bear it?
After the analysis, Dong Jiang and his group fully understood that this is the standard unreasonable disaster: I was fooled, I have no choice, I can't be a good person, the old man is very bad.

Things have come to this, and after finding out that there is no choice, the Dongjiang generals headed by Kong Youde can only compromise in the end.So there was a scene of inviting friendly troops to come to exchange and observe: in fact, they took the opportunity to form alliances.

So, when Zhang Zhongqi and his group came to Zuowei camp today, he quickly felt a new pattern: Li Jiuzheng was in charge of receiving the greetings.

In this way, it will be clear who to win first.This is also the reason why Zhang Zhongqi invited Li Jiuzheng: Anyone who goes to the south and meets the indigenous elites in the primary industrial society will be enlightened and closely united with Cao XX as the core.

To be honest, after Li Jiuzheng received Zhang Zhongqi's invitation suddenly, he was very moved immediately.However, he soon came to his senses. After all, no matter how small a warlord is, he was still a warlord. With the current situation, Li Jiuzheng would definitely not be able to leave his followers and travel far away.

However, Li Jiuzheng bet on the traverser after all, so after a little thought, he quickly came up with a solution: his eldest son, Li Yingyuan, could travel instead of his father.

Zhang Zhongqi immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhang Zhongqi knew something about the Li family and his son.Li Yingyuan was also a general who accompanied Kong Youde during the rebellion in history. This king is fully qualified and able to travel to the south on behalf of his father.

So on the general platform, the Dongjiang general who is most keen to deal with the time-traveling forces reached an extremely important exchange project with the time-travelers in just a few words, which is enough to affect the future direction of his father and son. .

With the conclusion of the private agreement, the public observation activities on the stage have also come to an end.

The last procedure of today's open class is for the participating soldiers to meet with the generals and receive rewards.

After all the rewards that are customary in this era have been distributed, the exercise will officially end.In the next step, the already prepared banquet is waiting for the distinguished guests.The big guy had a cold morning in the winter of the Little Ice Age, so he needed a good rest.

The banquet atmosphere is naturally good.The host drank the exquisite Erguotou brought by the guests, and the guests also tasted the swallow-winged banquet made by the chef invited from Dengzhou City.During the dinner, everyone complimented each other happily, and the host and guest had a great time.

If you are full of wine and food, withdraw from the table to watch tea.After that, the general Kong Youde came forward and invited the distinguished guests to the Chinese army to discuss the matter of sending troops to rescue Dalinghe Fort.

Since it is the most important military strategy discussed by the generals of the two sides, the irrelevant people and others must be dispersed.Soon, following the general's command, only Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Li Jiuzheng remained as masters in the spacious central army hall.On the side of the transmigration forces, there are only Zhang Zhongqi and Sha Zhengming.

At this point, there is no need for any temptations, and the time has come for Tu Qiong to meet.The next moment, Zhang Zhongqi got straight to the point, and formally explained the details of the conditions of the "alliance" between the two parties about the crossing forces.

Regarding the conditions in this regard, Kong Youde had already heard about it when he was on the ship.

What Zhang Zhongqi said today is more detailed, more critical, and more "rebellious" clauses: In addition to emergency food, grass and military equipment, Zhang Zhongqi also promised: in the important city of Tianjin, the emergency fleet and combat supplies will be kept at all times. If there is "something" on the side, then no matter what situation Kong Youde is in, he can set sail on the sea to plan for the future.

In addition, Zhang Zhongqi once again promised what Kong Youde's generation lacks most at present: political protection.

The above benefits have no time limit, as long as the current situation in Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, they will be valid forever.

In short, whether it is tangible or intangible things, Zhang Zhongqi's generous donations are generous and generous, which embarrasses the negotiating opponents: everyone who thought of and did not expect has promised, so how can we negotiate?

Of course, if you just pay without asking for anything in return, it will easily make the partner suspicious and slack, which is not a healthy cooperative relationship.

So Zhang Zhongqi made a "small" partner request after the intermission: as far as he knows, there are still [-] soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town who are starving.Coincidentally, there is a shortage of labor in Tianjin, Shanghai and other places. I hope that allies can take this opportunity to go to sea and cooperate with him to "recruit" a group of workers to work.
