The sun never sets

Datong had been under attack for many days, and the city walls were damaged in many places. The city's troops and ammunition were also consumed. The rebels' force immediately made the city unable to support it. The militia again stepped forward to open the city gates and let the rebels in. After the city was broken, the defending general shot himself, and the Xuanhua governor Li Zhaonan who escaped was captured alive.

Another governor was arrested. Lin Yongchang did not plan to kill anyone this time. He had already killed one person before to establish his authority, so now he could try to be lenient with him.

"Who told you to tie up Governor Li? Why don't you untie him quickly?"

Lin Yongchang scolded him a few times, then smiled. "Is Lord Li okay?"

Li Zhaonan, with a bruised face and nose, sat on a chair and said with a wry smile, "It's okay. Marshal Lin, I will not surrender. You can kill me if you want."

Lin Yongchang smiled and said, "Lord Li has misunderstood. I just want to ask you some questions. I will send someone to take you to the capital tomorrow."

Li Zhaonan was ready to sacrifice his life for his country. Now that he could avoid death, he decided not to. He drank a sip of tea and said self-deprecatingly: "The defeated army is

"General, let's not talk about bravery anymore. Just ask whatever you want to ask, Marshal."

"Do you know Wei Guangtao, the governor of Shaanxi?"

"Sir Wei............" Li Zhaonan was not very good at fighting, but he knew a lot about the personnel in the officialdom. He briefly introduced Wei Guangtao's life. As he was talking, he had an idea. Wei Guangtao was knowledgeable about military affairs, and he was the governor of Shaanxi, which was next to Shanxi. Now Baldy Lin suddenly asked about Wei Guangtao's situation. Could it be......

Lin Yongchang said nonchalantly: "Just as you thought, Lord Wei led his troops to attack Shanxi."

"what!"

"But he has too few soldiers and horses to cause any trouble." Lin Yongchang said, "Go to the capital and tell the Queen Mother that I, the Lin family, also have a sincere heart to serve the country. As long as I am appointed as the governor of Shanxi, my second brother Wang Qi as the governor of Hebei, my third brother Li Dayan as the governor of Henan, and my eldest brother Wang Zuolin as the garrison commander of Zhangjiakou, we will lead the troops to help the court fight the foreigners!"

"Ah?" Li Zhaonan was dumbfounded.

"What? To be an official, you have to kill people and set fires to be recruited. Don't you understand this?"

Li Zhaonan understood this principle, but how could the imperial court seal off Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi at the same time? If it really did so, the imperial court would soon be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Chapter 73: Normal A

After Lin Yongchang took Taiyuan, he sent a telegram to the whole country, wanting to join the "Southeast Mutual Protection", but was rejected by Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi and others. The bigwigs thought that Baldy Lin was not qualified to eat at the table with them, which hurt Lin Yongchang very much. Even Shandong Governor Yuan Shikai could join the "Southeast Mutual Protection", so why couldn't Shanxi join?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He printed a lot of tabloids, specifically writing about the negative information about Zhang Zhidong, Sheng Xuanhuai, and others. The tabloids were widely circulated, and now they were widely circulated in Shanxi and Hebei. Many teahouses and restaurants in Beijing were already discussing this matter.

After failing to join the "Southeast Mutual Protection", Lin Yongchang came up with another plan and sent people to Beijing to contact representatives of the powers. Ambassador Conger and other foreign devils were now surrounded in Dongjiaomin Lane and were still willing to have someone rescue them. However, the foreign devils refused to recognize Lin Yongchang's rights and interests in Shanxi and Hebei first.

The negotiations were almost done, but more than 400 soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Dongjiaomin Lane, and the foreign devils thought they were very powerful, so they overturned the previous conditions and ordered, yes, they ordered Lin Yongchang to lead his troops to Beijing to obey orders. Of course, the big bald man refused to do it. He wanted to use us for nothing without any benefits?

Just 400 light infantrymen, you think you can turn the tide? Screw you!

So Lin Yongchang set his sights on the imperial court. After occupying the entire Shanxi Province, he discovered in the Celestial Empire system that the dissatisfaction and alienation of the gentry class were about to explode. Enough killings had been made, and the gentry class dared not speak out, and when Wei Guangtao led his troops to attack, many people followed suit and rebelled.

Oh, to them, that was not rebellion, but loyalty to the king.

Lin Yongchang did not kill Li Zhaonan, but asked him to take a letter to the court, asking for a high price and paying it back. As long as they could get the title of governor, the rebel army under the bald man would go to Zhili to help the court fight the foreign devils. There would be no news from Li Zhaonan for a while, and Lin Yongchang would not wait and destroy Wei Guangtao's group first. Joining the court camp did not conflict with overthrowing the officers and soldiers.

The people of the Homecoming Corps are now killing local cadres and members of the Farmers' Association. It seems that they have not killed enough gentry and landlords. Lin Yongchang decided that after going south this time, he would systematically eliminate those people, root and leaf! Damn the third way, now he can only raise the banner of "nationalism" and "universalism"!

Leaving some troops to deal with the affairs in Datong, Lin Yongchang led tens of thousands of troops to quickly move south. He had previously given the Mongolian cavalry to Li Dayan, and now he had more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, all of whom were recruited by Wuyun Qiqige after returning home. There were many Mongolians on the grassland who were excellent in riding skills but extremely poor and had nothing. Lin Yongchang exchanged cavalry from the Mongolian flags at the cost of the debts held by the Shanxi merchants.

As long as one cavalryman is sent, the debt of two hundred taels can be reduced. The Mongolian princes close to the Central Plains responded enthusiastically. On the one hand, it can reduce the debt, and on the other hand, those cavalrymen can rob a lot of things. Since the Ming Dynasty, the tradition of the Mongolians is to serve as mercenaries to help the Central Plains people fight, and now they still think so. If it weren't for the existence of the court, the number of Mongolians who came to surrender to Marshal Lin would have increased several times.

Lin Yongchang led his elite troops to the south quickly. After arriving in Taiyuan, he rested for a day, dealt with some accumulated matters in the city, and led his soldiers through the city, effectively deterring those ambitious people in the city. Due to many reasons, regional identity is very serious these days, almost catching up with the Han Dynasty.

The Xiang Army, Chu Army, Huai Army, these interest groups only recognized their fellow villagers. The officials in the court, as well as various groups and organizations in the society, were all full of fellow villagers. It was difficult for outsiders to integrate into them. Now Lin Yongchang, an outsider, how could he rule the Shanxi people? This view is very popular in Shanxi.

People from Hebei say that Marshal Lin is not from Hebei, and people from Shanxi say that he is not from Shanxi. So where is Marshal Lin from? Did he jump out of a stone? Many people just want to find a reason to oppose him, and the reason that he is not a local is a good and powerful one.

Lin Yongchang can learn from the "The Sun Never Sets" system

We know which class of people have the intention to rebel, but we cannot pinpoint which person. Anyway, there are too many dissatisfied people in Shanxi, so we should fool them first and kill Wei Guangtao's troops and those returning home groups first.

In less than ten days, Wei Guangtao had led his troops to the vicinity of Linfen. His troops had swelled to more than 10,000 people, and he had sent many small units to infiltrate the north. Lin Yongchang arrived at the right time, as the militia leaders in Linfen were discussing the division of luggage and disbanding.

Some wanted to continue fighting, but some wanted to go back home. The Boxer Rebellion's problem of being a loose group was exposed at this time. Lin Yongchang was only their nominal leader, but he was not really able to command them. These people were like Erlang Shen in Guanjiangkou, who only listened to orders but not instructions. After conquering the territory, they refused to let Marshal Lin's troops come. Now there was no other way. If Marshal Lin didn't come to rescue them, they would be defeated by old man Wei.

Whether it was Wei Guangtao or the Homecoming Corps, they were merciless in killing the rebels and the militia. No matter how reluctant they were, they had to call for reinforcements. After Lin Yongchang arrived, he deployed his army and blocked the road for the officers and soldiers to go north to Taiyuan.

The general topography of Shanxi Province is "two mountains and one river", with mountains and hills rising on the east and west sides, a series of beaded basins sinking in the middle, and plains distributed in between. The eastern part is a block of mountains formed by the Taihang Mountains as the main vein. From north to south, there are Hengshan Mountain, Juzhu Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Xizhou Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Taiyue Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain Range and its affiliated Lishan Mountain and Xicheng Mountain, etc. The mountains are tall and majestic, with an altitude of more than 1500 meters.

The western part is the Loess Plateau with Lvliang Mountain as the main trunk. From north to south, there are Qifeng Mountain, Hongtao Mountain and Guancen Mountain, Luya Mountain, Yunzhong Mountain, Heicha Mountain, Guandi Mountain, Zijing Mountain, Longmen Mountain and other main peaks belonging to the Lvliang Mountain Range. Most of them are above 1500 meters above sea level, and Guandi Mountain has the highest altitude of 2831 meters. From north to south, there are nine "multiple"-shaped fault basins, namely Yanbei, Xinzhou, Taiyuan, Lvliang, Yangquan, Changzhi, Jincheng, Linfen and Yuncheng, which are separated from each other. The main outline of the province is very much like a "concave" shape.

If the officers and soldiers did not want to cross the mountains and go deep into the territory controlled by the militia, they could only push forward along the road from Linfen to Taiyuan. After discovering that the rebels had new forces, Wei Guangtao did not think much about it, and just went straight up as before. But soon, he found something wrong. Marshal Lin's soldiers were completely different from the rebels he had encountered before.

Chapter 74: Battle

Wei Guangtao had handled military affairs and local government affairs, and had also fought in battles himself. He was a rare talent who was both civil and military. When the Mongolian cavalry obscured the surrounding battlefield, he immediately discovered from the losses and disappearances of the scouts that a powerful enemy was approaching. After torturing several captured Boxers, the old man learned that Lin Yongchang was coming with the elite of the rebel army.

Come on, who's afraid of who! Just a few Mongolian cavalrymen are so great? Wei Guangtao didn't take the Boxers seriously at all. He now had tens of thousands of troops in his hands and rushed directly to Linfen. I don't believe that Baldy Lin can hide in the fog of war forever.

Those who were sent to lead the charge were stabbed on the spot if they dared to complain. Wei Guangtao was old, but he was still strong-willed. Soon, the returning group retreated crying. Wei Guangtao stopped them and asked them carefully, and he was very happy. What he feared most was that Baldy Lin would not fight him head-on. Now the main force of the bandit leader appeared outside Linfen City, what else could he say?

Wei Guangtao urged the army to charge forward. When they arrived at the foot of Linfen City, they found that the ground was full of crooked trenches. The rebels were drilling in and out of the trenches. In some places, they built earthen bunkers. From a distance, they looked like tombs. Wei Guangtao observed with a telescope for a while and sneered: "The rebels are rebels. They can't even build straight trenches. Fire two rounds of artillery first, then defeat them. I want to have lunch in Linfen City!"

The cannons under Wei Guangtao's command were all old-fashioned, heavy and bulky, with a slow firing rate. Despite these shortcomings, their power was still guaranteed. On the artillery positions, the gunners took off their shirts, stuffed the shells into the gun barrels with their bare arms, and then fired at the chaotic army. Men all like to fire cannons.

The soldiers did not carry many shells, so they fired only two rounds, which lasted only three minutes, and then they were not allowed to fire. But for many people, three minutes of artillery support was already very good. There was no movement in the trenches outside the city. The officers holding the ghost-head swords shouted loudly, and the soldiers wearing the "Yong" uniforms rushed forward with the broadswords and red tasseled spears, and the elite soldiers holding rifles followed slowly from behind.

Lin Yongchang was troubled by the fact that he had too few rifles, and many of his men were still using cold weapons. The same was true for Wei Guangtao, only half of his men had guns, and the others were also using broadswords and red tasseled spears. Everyone was about the same, and the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother.

In the field of vision of the telescope, the officers and soldiers quickly rushed to the edge of the trench. Suddenly, a sharp and piercing whistle sounded, and many people emerged from the winding trench, each holding a foreign rifle.

Someone in the trench shouted, "Shoot!"

Rows of foreign rifles fired, dense bullets swept through like a storm, and the officers and soldiers who were charging fell in a large number. The heavy machine guns deployed on both sides of the position were pushed up, and they took the opportunity to use their side firepower. The flames were like whips lashing at the dense crowd.

Many people were shot in half. The screams and the sounds of bullets mixed together. The smell of gunpowder was mixed with the stench of blood and internal organs. In an instant, the battlefield seemed to have turned into hell.

Although Wei Guangtao had fought for decades and was very experienced in how to use troops, the tactics he used were still stuck in the era of line-up shooting and intensive charge. The shooting speed of modern weapons has increased several times, and if the old tactics were used again, he would only be shot into a sieve.

Looking at the tragic scene in the distance, Wei Guangtao trembled all over, "Tubby Lin is so vicious!"

Even when we were fighting the Japanese, we had never encountered such a tragic scene. Although those little Japanese were brave, their tactics were similar to those of the officers and soldiers. The two sides fought with swords and guns for a long time before the winner was determined. It was nothing like what was happening now, where hundreds of people were killed in one encounter.

Most of the officers and soldiers holding broadswords and red-tasseled spears were wiped out, and many of the soldiers holding muskets in the back also fell. The remaining people either lay on the ground or ran around like headless flies. The dense gunfire stopped, and only sparse gunfire remained in the trench.

The people running around were hit one by one. Many of them were running when they suddenly trembled all over and fell to the ground screaming. The people lying on the ground fired wildly in the direction of the trench, and the rebel soldiers in the trench fired back slowly. The elite shooters hid in the trench, firing two shots and then moving to another place.

The two sides exchanged fire for a while, and officers and soldiers were constantly hit. Soon they could no longer hold on, jumped up from the ground, and ran wildly in the direction they came from. A fierce burst of shooting broke out in the trench, and the officers and soldiers who fled back lost a lot of manpower, and then they retreated in embarrassment.

Just one test resulted in the loss of several hundred elite soldiers, which almost made Wei Guangtao jump to his feet.

"Fire! Fire!" Old Man Wei ordered, "Fire all the shells!"

He had a bad feeling in his heart that if he didn't use up all the shells, he would never have another chance to fire again.

The artillery position was busy, and shells were fired one after another, creating balls of flames on the rebel position. However, the rebel soldiers were hiding in the anti-artillery holes in the trenches. The officers and soldiers fired the artillery very enthusiastically, but the results were very few. First of all, the shooting skills of these artillerymen were not very good. They fired the artillery just to hear the sound and give courage to their own side. It was unknown what the actual effect was.

Secondly, the trenches were very narrow, and only with great luck could the shells land inside the trenches. The winding trenches limited the killing range of shrapnel and flames, so even if someone was lucky enough to land inside the trenches, they would only kill a few people. After the artillery fire, the rebel positions were in ruins, with no one in sight.

Wei Guangtao was satisfied. The cannon was still powerful! He ordered a charge again. This time, he pushed everyone forward. If he failed, he would die! The old man had made up his mind. If he couldn't eliminate the rebels, he would be loyal to the country!

It's not that Wei Guangtao didn't know how to adapt, but he only knew this way of fighting. In his opinion, after suffering losses, he just had to increase the stakes. Isn't that what the Japanese did? As long as the impact force suppressed the opponent's firepower, victory would be achieved!

On the wide front of several kilometers, more than 4,000 officers and soldiers shouted and launched a fiercer charge. Correspondingly, fiercer shooting sounded from the opposite side. More heavy machine guns were pushed out, and even artillery joined the ranks of shooting.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"boom!"

"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!" "Pap!"

The soldiers were harvested like wheat, and the blood dyed the earth red. Shells exploded around them, bullets whizzed, and the soldiers were dominated by fear and roared into the first trench. As long as they are willing to bleed, an army can always move forward. Of course, if Lin Yongchang had not emphasized the need to save bullets, the soldiers would never have rushed up to fight hand-to-hand.

With so many soldiers equipped with cold weapons, they had to be put to work. Also, bullets were really precious, and there was no longer a fool like the Americans. Doing business with foreign profiteers in secret, not to mention the small amount of bullets they bought, the price was several times higher. Marshal Lin had no choice but to let the soldiers take the initiative and bravely go forward to fight after they had used up the 30 bullets they carried.

The rebels did not suffer any loss in hand-to-hand combat. Many officers and soldiers were killed by firepower, and the few who remained were quickly overwhelmed by the rebels.

Chapter 75: A Sudden Inspiration

Defend and counterattack, then send out the cavalry to chase and kill, this is a very simple tactic, and Wei Guangtao's troops were defeated. This is a matter of course, the army under Lin Yongchang's command is not only more numerous, but also better equipped and more advanced in tactics. As long as they don't make big mistakes, they can win.

When the frontal battle started, Wei Guangtao also sent a surprise force to attack Taiyuan from the Taihang Mountains. But Lin Yongchang was so smart that he knew the surrounding situation like reading the lines on his palm. The surprise force ran into an ambush in the mountains and was killed by machine guns and artillery. Less than one-tenth of them escaped.

The highly anticipated special forces were defeated, and the frontal battlefield was defeated. Wei Guangtao fled with the remaining soldiers and generals, and was caught up by the Mongolian cavalry. The soldiers around him were chopped down, but because he was wearing court clothes, he was not beheaded, but was captured.

This army that entered Shanxi first killed people in all directions and made a mad dash, but then they were defeated and annihilated, and even Wei Guangtao was captured alive.

The world was changing so fast that the onlookers were so surprised that their jaws dropped. They looked up to Marshal Lin's ability to use troops and the combat effectiveness of his troops.

Lin Yongchang felt that there was nothing to be proud of. Even after opening the entire map, he still couldn't win? Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

[General: Lin Yongchang——Firepower 4, Assault 2, Mobility 4, Siege 2]

【士气：11.78；训练度：105%；职业度：32%；陆军传统：35%；战术：4.5】

As a general, Marshal Lin has strong firepower. After all, he came from the later generations and has a deep love for firepower. He only has two points of impact, which is so-so, because his own riding skills are only so-so, and it is good to have two points of impact. The combination of firepower and impact is more than a little stronger than the enemy general Wei Guangtao.

In addition, the morale of the troops under Lin Dashuai was two points higher than that of the enemy. Why was the morale so high? Because Lin Dashuai had put almost all his energy on the army. First of all, the military pay was high. The soldiers of the main force received three dollars a month, and the wartime subsidy was one dollar more per month. The cavalry would receive a higher salary, and there was also extra money for fodder. The army had established a complete system to ensure that the military pay could be distributed to the soldiers without discounts. The daily food and rice money were also used for the soldiers. This was better than most of the imperial court's troops.

Except for a few troops such as Yuan Shikai's new army, other old-style armies such as the patrol camp and the Green Camp were often in arrears of wages. They only paid for ten months a year, or even nine or eight months. This was just nominal. How much could be paid depended on the mood of the generals and officers. Deductions were common, and the superiors would use various means such as birthdays, parents' birthdays, death anniversaries, and concubines' birthdays to collect the wages.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of troops turned into rebels because of the withholding of military pay. Hundreds of years later, history came full circle, and the same problem occurred in the Qing Dynasty... the Jin Dynasty. And this problem is unsolvable, unless the upper ruling class is purged, otherwise, sooner or later it will be ruined because of lack of money.

In addition to high and timely military pay, Marshal Lin also implemented various policies to boost morale. Land reform, that is, distributing land to soldiers, morale +10%; soldiers' committees, ensuring that soldiers would not be beaten or abused, and that their pay and rations would not be withheld, morale +10%; expelling the barbarians, morale +10%; overthrowing the foreign powers, morale +10%; officers and soldiers as one, morale +5%; and so on.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Lin Yongchang used all the methods he could think of, so the morale of his troops was so high. This is not surprising, but what is surprising is that the morale of Wei Guangtao's troops was close to 10, which was really an anomaly among the officers and soldiers.

After capturing the enemy general, the captain of the personal guard, Wang Hu, who was Wang Zuolin's nephew, came to ask how to deal with the enemy general. After entering Shanxi, Wei Guangtao killed a lot of people and beheaded all the captured Boxer leaders.

"Everyone is saying that we should kill that dog official named Wei!"

"Humph," Lin Yongchang snorted, "I insist on not killing you!"

"Forehead......"

"Well, Wei Guangtao fought against the Japanese in Liaodong after all. Let's spare his life. Don't lock him up with the other prisoners. Take him back to Taiyuan first."

"Yes!"

Winning a battle is not the end. There are still many things to do after winning a battle. You must know how to use the victory to gain more benefits. Taking advantage of the victory, Lin Yongchang incorporated all the militias. Most people accepted the reorganization unwillingly, eliminated the old and weak, changed the organization, and reorganized into Type B and Type C regiments.

Under Marshal Lin, the basic tactical unit was the regiment. Type A regiments consisted of 1500 men, all armed with foreign rifles, a small number of artillery, and a small number of machine guns, and were the main force in field operations; Type B regiments consisted of 1000 men, with a small number of foreign rifles and a large number of cold weapons, but no artillery or heavy machine guns; Type C regiments consisted of 800 men, all armed with broadswords and long rifles, and no supporting weapons.

Below them is the Type D group, which includes old people, women, and children. The number of people and weapons are uncertain, and their combat effectiveness is almost non-existent.

Going further down, there are only the legendary Martian soldiers.

After annihilating Wei Guangtao's troops, they seized more than 2,000 old rifles, several old-fashioned artillery pieces, thousands of livestock and horses, a large number of cold weapons, and more than 200,000 rounds of bullets. Overall, it was a win. Cold weapons, earthen guns, hand-held guns, mountain-splitting cannons, etc. were left to the reorganized Type B regiment. There were only more than 1,000 usable firearms, which were all supplemented to a newly formed Type A regiment, which brought the number of Type A regiments in Lin Yongchang's hands to three.

In addition, he had four Type B regiments and one artillery regiment, which was a little short of the seven-infantry and two-artillery establishment. However, Marshal Lin also had a reinforced cavalry regiment, which was almost 15000 people, barely a full division. This was only the troops led by Marshal Lin himself. Other generals had many Type B regiments and a large number of Type C regiments under their command. Even if a large number of old and weak were eliminated, the entire Shanxi Province already had a force of .

The combat effectiveness of the Type A regiment far exceeded that of the Type B regiment, not to mention the Type C regiment. However, Lin Yongchang was unable to reorganize all the incompetents into Type A regiments. One reason was that he did not have enough guns and ammunition, and the other was that he did not have enough money to pay the soldiers. After the occupation of Shanxi, the already declining business here suffered a great deal of damage. Although he had plundered a lot of

Most of the floating wealth will be used to build factories, and only one third can be used to expand the army.

After taking Datong and annihilating the invading Green Camp of Shaanxi and Gansu, the whole of Shanxi is under the control of the ever-healthy Marshal Lin. Now there is another task that can be completed by clicking.

[Mission: There are heroes everywhere]

[Requirement: Occupy the entire territory of Shanxi]

[Rewards: 100 administrative points, 100 diplomatic points, 100 military points, one lottery.]

Administrative points, diplomatic points and military points are all good, and the lottery... Lin Yongchang thought about it and felt that he had never won the second prize or above in the lottery. Later, after hearing about the shady dealings of various lotteries, he never bought lottery tickets again. Could the lottery be too shady?

After clicking [The Mountains and Rivers Hold Righteous Men], you can also click [Establish Hegemony], which is 100 administrative points, 100 diplomatic points, and 100 military points. In this way, the points are all over 300. First, click [Reorganize the Military], and then you can click [Reorganize the Administration] and [Reorganize the Diplomacy]. Now Lin Yongchang's points are as follows: 424 administrative points, 466 diplomatic points, and 444 military points.

After ordering, I felt refreshed and I never felt so wealthy again. I can buy [Steelmaking by Traditional Methods] and [How Steel is Made], I can buy whatever I want, but before that, I'd better draw the lottery first.

Cut to the lucky draw section, click start, and the turntable starts to spin. The pointer keeps turning, and the various skills on the turntable are constantly changing. [Steel Body], [Cat Language], [Punching and Kicking], [Reading People's Expressions], [Longbow Training Methods] and other various skills and knowledge appear and disappear.

Finally, when the pointer stopped, the grid opposite it said [On a whim]. Then I looked at the grids next to it and saw [Essence of Boarding Battle], [How to Catch Cicadas], [Blowing Smoke Rings]... After looking at it this way, [On a whim] didn't seem so bad.

[On a whim: When someone wants to harm you, you will feel it. The closer the distance, the greater the harm, and the stronger the feeling. ]

Chapter 76: Fire Bull

Lin Yongchang has never been a pixiu. He spends money when he has it and uses it when he has some points. Well, this may also be cultivated by inflation and currency depreciation. He always feels that it is not safe to keep money in the bank, and it will depreciate if he holds it in his hands. Prices will always rise. In short, in short, you can't have no savings, but you can't not spend money either.

Now that we have so many points, we must spend some of them. All administrative points are invested in steel smelting, machinery manufacturing and military production. Now the rebels can only produce black powder, and smokeless powder can only be produced in small batches. That doesn't matter, bullets loaded with black powder can still kill people. The problem now is that the production of reloaded bullets is not enough. Not only is the power of black powder grenades impressive, but the quantity is also pitifully small.

Lin Yongchang could only comfort himself by saying that it was just the beginning and things would get better in the future. Compared to when he was acting crazy and stupid in the capital and spending every penny in Baoding, it was much better! Whether it was territory, army, money or points, they were all getting more luxurious. Administrative points had a place to spend, and the same was true for other points.

Diplomatic points are used for German, Japanese, French, Italian, Mongolian and Tibetan. You don't need to reach the "fluent and fluent" level, just be able to communicate normally. In addition, there is also a point of persuasion skills, diplomacy and trading are not needed for the time being. The first military point is [Strong Body], 50 military points. [Warrior Intuition] is not needed, this passive skill overlaps with [Spur of the Moment]. Then there is [Innate Power], 100 military points.
