Liu Sihai looked at Wang Hengyue blankly and did not answer for a long time, and Wang Hengyue did not urge him.
"My lord, how upright and upright I am!" Liu Sihai let out a long sigh, stood up and said it to the end: "My thoughts have been wandering around for several years, and I have accomplished nothing. I originally thought that I could only live a leisurely life, and I didn't want to meet you today. Your lord did not hide anything from Sihai.
Hai said that Sihai is willing to follow you, despite all difficulties and dangers, and will never repent!"
"Okay, brother Zhenxing!" Wang Hengyue stood up with a "ooh": "Although Heng Yue is of low rank, one day, Heng Yue will definitely find a cannon for my brother, so that I can rest easy and learn what I have learned!"
"Actually, our country's artillery is not bad at all." Liu Sihai sat down again and sighed.
"Oh, where do these words come from?" Wang Hengyue asked attentively.
Liu Sihai drew a few circles on the table with his fingers: "In our new army, there is an artillery team, one battalion, and three battalions in one town in the custom-made association. Generally, there should be at least one artillery battalion or more in the mixed association. The second town of the army
The two standard artillery pieces were purchased from Japan. There are thirty-six Japanese-made seven-and-a-half-year-long barreled retreat land guns, and eighteen Japanese-made seven-year-old and a half thirteen-time long rapid-firing mountain cannons. The Kinki Army's third
The artillery of the three standards of artillery suppression were all German-made, including thirty-six Krupp seven-and-a-half-year-old light and heavy land guns, and eighteen seven-year-old and half-speed mountain cannons. When they were transferred to the northeast for garrison, a battalion of eighteen Krupp land guns was
Turned it over and replaced it with one battalion of eighteen Gruson mountain cannons, becoming one battalion of land guns and two battalions of mountain cannons."
After a brief pause there, he continued: "The fourth, fifth, and sixth towns also use British, French, and German artillery. These are all new artillery, and they are the elite of our country's artillery! The rest are second to the Hubei New Army.
In addition, the new armies in Jiangsu, Fujian and other places follow, but they all have a certain scale. As for our new army in Sichuan, we also have the second battalion of mountain artillery. It is not said to be weak in strength."
Wang Hengyue pondered and said: "If we were to fight a foreigner again now, how would Brother Zhenxing think we would win or lose?"
"Defeat is certain!" Liu Sihai said resolutely.
This answer was actually the same as what Wang Hengyue was thinking. Liu Sihai looked worried: "There are no weapons, no people to use them. No matter how good the artillery is, it is just a pile of scrap metal! Today's imperial court is decadent, and various places have powerful officials and decrees."
It won't work after crossing the north. If there is another war with foreigners, will the imperial court dare to fight? Are the local princes willing to fight? The top and bottom cannot be of the same mind. Civil servants are greedy for money and military generals are afraid of death. You don't have to fight to know such a battle.
There is no victory but defeat..."
"This is a good thing to say." Wang Hengyue praised the case: "What a question of 'Does the imperial court dare to fight? Are the local princes willing to fight?', even if the soldiers and civilians across the country are dedicated to resisting the enemy, the imperial court does not dare to fight and the princes are unwilling to fight.
There is so much passion but nowhere to vent it, sooner or later this court..."
He almost said, "Sooner or later, he will perish", but quickly stopped himself: "Brother Zhenxing has a great opinion, Hengyue is like seeing the blue sky through the clouds! I can get help from brother Zhenxing, like..."
As soon as "such" came out, Pete, who had been silent until now, rushed to say, "It's like Zhu Bajie met Sun Wukong, the two of them became brothers!"
"Go to hell! Your whole family is a pig!" Wang Hengyue laughed and scolded: "Brother Zhenxing, stay in the inn for one night, and go to Rong County with me tomorrow!"
With the help of a talented person like Liu Sihai, Wang Hengyue felt somewhat confident. Early the next morning, several people had breakfast and got up to go.
Wang Hengyue rented two more horses and gave them to Yu Lei and Liu Sihai to ride.
Yu Lei winked at Wang Hengyue and fell behind: "Sir, when I go to Rong County, there are a few people I must visit."
"Oh, which ones?"
"Sichuan has the famous 'Five Elders and Seven Sages', and the most famous one among them, Zhao Xi, is there."
"Zhao Xi?" Wang Hengyue frowned, feeling that this person sounded familiar, but he really couldn't remember who it was."
Yu Lei said slowly: "This man is a Jinshi in the 18th year of Guangxu's reign. He was first-class in the Baohe Palace Examination. He is the editor of the National History Museum of the Hanlin Academy. He is a famous Confucian and a famous scholar. He is known as the number one poet in the past thirty years. He
His calligraphy is elegant and straight, and he is known as 'Rongxian Zhao Ti'. The three words 'Rongxian Big Buddha' and 'Big Buddha Temple' were mentioned in his own handwriting."
"Celebrity, celebrity." Wang Hengyue nodded slightly, remembering who this person was.
This man was very famous. During the Republic of China, two factions of warlords went to war in Rong County. Both parties unanimously agreed not to open fire at the east gate of Zhao Xi's residence, so as not to frighten Zhao Xi. This man's reputation is evident!
Yu Lei continued: "If you want to gain a foothold in Rong County, you can't do without Zhao Xi's help. As soon as you arrive in Rong County, take a look at the military camp, and immediately prepare gifts and visit. Although in this world, celebrities are not as good as a handful."
It's just a kitchen knife, but the word "fame" has a lot to say. If you use it well, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly, looked at Yu Lei, and suddenly asked: "Yu Lei, are you really helping me, or do you have other agendas?"
"Both." Yu Leida seemed to be very candid this time.
"Tell me about it." Wang Hengyue didn't know whether it was a smile or a sneer: "Let me see if you are a threat if you stay by my side. I think you are in your early thirties, which is more than ten years older than me. In terms of scheming, I
But he may not be your opponent."
"You can rest assured that the life guard will be by your side." Yu Lei didn't look worried at all: "The life guard sincerely wants to help you. No one in the world is willing to take the life guard except you. Now that you have prospered, so can the life guard.
Following the success, you will be unlucky, and the students will also suffer, so from this perspective, at least for now, there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the students to you."
This is the truth, especially the four words "at least for now" in the last sentence. It is rare for Yu Lei to be able to say these four words!
Yu Lei's voice was still very calm: "As for having ulterior motives, the students do not hide it. Many students have enemies, some have harmed the students, some treat the students as dogs, the students follow the adults, and the other
The purpose is revenge!"
"Oh?" Wang Hengyue's eyes fell on Yu Lei again.
The flesh on Yu Lei's face twitched rapidly: "The students have nothing else to ask for. I only hope that after you become successful, the students can repay their grievances and take revenge! Therefore, the students must work hard and try their best to help.
Your Excellency, you are rising all the way!"
A meteoric rise? God knows when. Besides, Yu Lei has been careful in his work and does not need to explain anything. He does have some skills that can be put to use now.
Wang Hengyue figured this out and laughed loudly: "Okay, Yu Lei, I promise you, as long as there is such a day, as long as you don't harm an honest gentleman, I will let you repay injustice and revenge!"
