Next, Li Ningyu arranged 50 soldiers into various squads as squad leaders. A team of ten is also called a squad. Eight squads are a row of 80 people. It turned out that Deputy Military Academy Zhang Dahu and subordinate Zhang Dahu were in the camp.
Among the guards, Wang Hu was promoted, and Ma Li became the new platoon leader. The iron soldiers were still Li Ningyu's guards, but Li Ningyu also assigned him a position, captain of the guards, in charge of 20 guards, and
These current soldiers are all carefully selected, and Li Ningyu has only one purpose, for the future special forces.
Of course, Li Ningyu doesn't just know about deterrence. After a week of intensive training, everyone's food was increased three times, and their monthly salary was doubled. The increase was not paid by Li Ningyu himself.
, but the officers originally got some extra money every month, but Li Ningyu gave it all to the soldiers to share it, but privately I still had another nickname, the Little Devil.
And with the new weather, the former camp soldiers gradually understood Li Ningyu's painstaking efforts under the words of his own soldiers. Later, fewer and fewer people left, but more and more people came in. At Li Ningyu University,
After the disarmament, in less than 20 days, Li Ningyu's battalion already had 400 people, more than half of whom were veterans transferred from other battalions, and most of these people really wanted to protect their country.
Children from poor families.
Li Ningyu was naturally happy to accept such a good thing, but some military academies at the same level as Li Ningyu quit. They went to the deputy chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff to complain, while some with strong connections went to the deputy capital.
I asked the president to sue me, but at this time, the commander-in-chief and the others were busy with Vietnam affairs and ignored them. They just said that people have the right to act expediently. Do you have the right? If you are not convinced, go to Beijing to find Lafayette.
, besides, they are not robbing your soldiers, but your people are going to them.
For such things, Li Ningyu naturally had a good idea. After thinking about it, he didn't want to blame them all. As long as he picked some good ones and kept them, he rejected the rest. But even after selecting, there were still so many, and he was helpless.
Li Ningyu had to entertain his colleagues many times. Perhaps because of Li Ningyu's boldness and generosity, coupled with his background, the military academies stopped looking for trouble. But by this time, June was approaching, and the big troubles had already begun.
.
From 1856 to 1860, the Second Opium War took place in mainland China. At that time, Britain and France joined forces to attack the war of the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, the two established powers, Britain and France, took advantage of the Taiping Rebellion in China to fight against Asia.
Using the Luo incident and the Xilin Mission Incident as an excuse, they jointly attacked the Qing government, which was called the British-French Allied Forces Campaign or the Second Sino-British War.
Because this war was a continuation of the First Opium War, it was also called the "Second Opium War." In the middle of the war, Tsarist Russia in the north also sent troops. Later, it regarded itself as a mediator and coerced the late Qing government into ceding more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land.
territory, thus becoming one of the biggest winners.
Subsequently, the late Qing government signed three treaties: the "Tianjin Treaty", the "Beijing Treaty", and the "Aihui Treaty". The foreign powers invaded deeper into China, ceded Kowloon to the British, opened Tianjin as a commercial port, allowed Britain and France to recruit Chinese workers abroad, and compensated
The so-called military expenditures of Britain and France were increased to 8 million taels each, and the pensions were 500,000 taels for the British and 200,000 taels for France.
However, after the late Qing government was weak and incompetent and agreed to the unequal treaty, the British and French governments were far from satisfied with the benefits and privileges obtained from the Treaty of Tianjin, and then deliberately used the opportunity of exchanging the treaty to provoke war again.
On June 25, the British and French allied forces suddenly attacked the Dagu Fort. Under the command of Seng Gelinqin, the defenders resisted bravely and the battle was extremely fierce. Shi Rongchun, the governor of Zhili, and Long Ruyuan, the deputy general of the Dagu Association, took the lead and were killed one after another in one day.
As a result of the fierce battle, the British and French forces suffered a tragic defeat, losing many ships and more than 400 casualties. The commander of the British fleet was seriously injured. During the battle, the American fleet helped the British and French troops fight and retreat.
Recalling the historical events that Li Ningyu barely remembered, Li Ningyu's mind was restless. He took a letter and looked at it, thinking that the thing should have arrived. Then Li Ningyu walked out of his tent and looked around.
After the circle, Li Ningyu wrote a quick letter. This letter was a secret letter written by Li Ningyu to Uncle Fu. It mainly told him to pay attention to the changes in various countries in Shanghai. He also told him to make more friends with foreigners, such as the Netherlands, Portugal, and Chile.
and other countries.
Then Li Ningyu asked Zhang Jun to send him to Shanghai in person. Zhang Jun left Hu Guangyong's business after Li Ningyu left Shanghai. Now he mainly works as Li Ningyu's messenger, but Li Ningyu will not send him for ordinary things. Then he thought about Li Ning
Yu returned to his tent and wrote two secret letters to two dignitaries in Beijing.
One is from Empress Lafayette Cixi who gave Li Ningyu the right to secretly report, and the other is Prince Gong. The content of the two letters is similar, but there are some subtle differences. In the letter to Cixi, Li Ningyu wrote more about France's possible declaration of war.
Li Ningyu's letter from Prince Gong was tactful, but Li Ningyu's letter was written more straightforwardly. It was already late at night when he finished writing it, so Li Ningyu immediately asked his soldiers to rush it to Beijing for 500 miles.
On the afternoon of the next day, three long-distance carriages arrived at Li Ningyu's military camp. Looking at the 50 brand-new jet-black rifles and 3,000 rounds of yellow-orange ammunition in the warehouse, Li Ningyu felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Li Ningyu then applied to Orimu, deputy commander of the Southwest Han Army Banner, for permission to take a battalion of soldiers out for training and defense. Seeing the application sent by Li Ningyu, Orimu went to talk to Li Ningyu that night.
once.
Unable to change Li Ningyu's mind, he ordered Li Ningyu's first battalion and the current garrisoned battalion to redeploy their defenses. In the following time, Li Ningyu spent time on the border between Vietnam and the Qing Dynasty, and returned to the deep mountains and wild forests again.
His heart was beating rapidly, and then Li Ningyu started his first swearing-in meeting in a clearing in a mountain forest.
Standing on a big rock, Li Ningyu, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, could barely see everyone. Then he saw the iron soldiers running to Li Ningyu, standing at attention and saying: "Report to Military Academy Li, the Southwest Han Army Banner Hanoi Northwest Camp, should be
There were 432 people there, and there were actually 432 people!”.
After hearing the strong return from the iron soldiers, Li Ningyu nodded and glanced at the soldiers standing below who were holding swords and spears. After coughing slightly, Li Ningyu began to say: "I am Li Ningyu, Military Colonel Li.
!That’s what you call the little devil in private!”.
"Hahaha!" The people who were standing seriously waiting for Li Ningyu's lecture heard this, and all the soldiers present laughed. Then the iron soldier immediately shouted: "Quiet!", and everyone became quiet again.
came down, but at this time, everyone was no longer so nervous, but more expecting.
