Chapter 119 Three Hundred Long Guns Xiao Sen 10

[119] 300 long guns Xiao Sen (ten)

Yao Fan found Sun Maowen, who was detained alone in the wood room in the backyard of the government. He saw him sitting on the wood pile tied into rice dumplings. His clothes were not neat, his hair was messy, his face was blue and his nose was swollen. Obviously, he had suffered from resistance.

Yao Fan stood in front of Sun Maowen and did not say anything like "full of darkness and weakness, feudal dictatorship" and said bluntly:

"Brother Sun, I have taken Qingdao. Would you like to help me manage it?"

"Yao Fan, please let me go! I will leave all the money in my cage for you, as long as you let me go. Sun Maowen pleaded with Yao Fan with a sad face.

Yao Fan sighed and turned away. He had no hope for it.

He Wannian received the news from Yao Fan and finally came from the business. When he heard that Yao Fan rebelled, he beat his chest angrily.

"Brother Yao, you have suffered from my He family!

With the arrival of the imperial court soldiers in Japan, my family has become a fan!"

Yao Fan had already thrown away his fake braids. At this moment, he was bare and his hair was messy. He scratched his head and comforted him, "Brother He, we used to have money in our hands, but we did not have the protection of regime and armed forces. It is equivalent to walking on the street with gold bars. Sooner or later we will be robbed by those corrupt officials. If it goes on, in this world It doesn't live long.

Let me tell you a joke. In the past, a rich man boasted when eating with others that he had 10 million taels of silver, and he could buy anything in the world, so he didn't bow down to anyone except the emperor's son.

An official who ate with him said, "10 million taels of silver dare to boast!" Tomorrow I will issue you a fine of 10 million and 10 taels to teach you how to go bankrupt and become a beggar.

"Brother He, no matter how much we make, it's all fake. Once something happens, it's all about making wedding clothes for others!"

He Wannian said angrily, "That's better than losing your head!"

Yao Fan smiled and said, "Brother He, what's the use of complaining at this moment? The relationship between you and me is well known. How can the court tolerate you?

He Wannian was almost cried by Yao Fan: "Brother Yao! You! You!"

Yao Fan got up from the chair and held He Wannian's hand in both hands and said, "For today's plan, it's right to work together. Brother He, do you remember what I said to you before? Unity is strength! Since I dare to rebel, I am naturally sure of success. Besides, Yao's merchant ships are tens of millions. Are you afraid that you can't pick up dozens or hundreds of people from your He family?

He Wannian was finally moved by Yao Fan's clever words: "Alas, since I have been on this boat, I naturally want to be in the same boat with Brother Yao, but this has been hard for the guys I sent to establish businesses everywhere."

As soon as Yao Fan heard this, he also said sadly, "For good thing, I have closed four doors and have not leaked out for the time being. The dock and port have also been controlled by me, and the ship is not allowed to leave the port. I guess this news can be blocked for a few days. Brother Wannian, hurry up and send people to send letters to other places at night, and teach each sub-sign to roll back immediately. I guess I can always run back a lot.

He Wannian shook his head and sighed, "That's all. Whether they can survive or not depends on their creation. Alas! Brother Yao, what do you think? With such a few people who dare to rebel, aren't you afraid of the emperor's tens of thousands of troops?

Yao Fan said, "Do you rely on those straw bags in the court? It's just a local chicken and dog.

He Wannian shook his head and sighed.

Yao Fan laughed and said, "Brother Wannian, don't sigh. I have something to do with you. I now appoint you as the mayor of Qingdao. You have to help me manage Qingdaokou."

"Mayor? What kind of official position is this?"

"It's similar to the state judgment, but overseas people call it mayor."

"If you can continue to live a peaceful life, give me a governor without changing." He Wannian complained.

Yao Fan finally calmed down when he saw that Wannian had calmed down and let go of He Wannian's hand.

"In this way, administrative officials finally have them. Although they are businessmen, they are much more flexible than Qing bureaucrats, and they are not bad for temporary use." Yao Fan thought.

At about 5 p.m., except for the deputy platoon leader of each platoon, all the cadres gathered in Qingdao, and Yao Fan held the first military meeting after the uprising in the county government.

Yao Fan decided to expand his army immediately and planned to incorporate a group of previously screened men who were found to be poor farmers and had received preliminary queue training into the army.

"After summarizing the experience of some time ago, I found that the training progress of new recruits is not unified with that of veterans, and it is easy to hold back, so I decided that the future expansion of troops will be carried out by establishing a new company.

All new recruits are trained as companies, thus giving up the way of directly adding to existing troops in the past.

Each of your five companies has drawn out a platoon and 20 soldiers, and they are promoted to serve as platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders of 10 20-person new recruit platoons.

In this way, in the future, each of your companies will have a 200-person recruit company, and the company commander and deputy company commander of the new company will be the deputy company commander of the superior company.

After saying his plan, Yao Fan looked at the reaction of the company commanders under the candlelight of the county government.

"Dear owner, there are only 900 more troops! At present, we have to go against the court. If we don't quickly expand the army to 30,000 to 50,000, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with!" Li Hainiu frowned.

"There are not many soldiers, but in the essence. This is the first step of the army expansion plan. You can't take too far. Otherwise, once the army expands quickly, the quality of the army is easy to be muddy and sandy. Once the troops are mixed with dragons and snakes, they will become bandits. Once they go to battle, they are afraid that they will run faster than rabbits."

Li Jun nodded and said, "I agree with the owner's plan, which has quadrupled from 300 to 1,200 people. If there are more, I'm afraid it will be chaotic."

He Shicheng said, "Today, our fifth company killed several soldiers in the garrison battalion. Those Qing soldiers are not opponents at all. The guns given by the owner are so good!" After saying that, he rubbed his hands, obviously excited about his first murder.

Li Hainiu nodded: "The foreign guns given us are sharp, and they can be as fast as lightning. With these guns to defend the city, I think 200 people can resist 30,000 troops!"

"But that's all." Li Hainiu's words changed.

"If you want to fight in the field, you will be in trouble if there are fewer people. You can arrange troops, scout and investigate, forward guards, left army and right army, and there are no 35,000 people everywhere. I'm afraid it's not easy to use.

The most important thing is that fewer people will affect the confidence of the soldiers. After all, the more people there are, the more people will be.

Yao Fan said, "Then hurry up and ensure 9 hours of training every day. We will make up for the military fighting training of the recruits, and we will only practice three things for the time being.

The first is the queue, which is a guarantee of discipline and obedience. It must be guaranteed for an hour after gathering every morning; the second is shooting, which includes gun maintenance; the third is bayonet training, which depends on fighting to raise the murderous spirit and morale of the soldiers. "

Li Hainiu nodded and said, "I agree!" Especially bayonet training, which is very good! I think many soldiers have changed in the past month, with strong morale, calm and capable, just like veterans who are used to fighting.

Everyone nodded and had no objection to Li Hainiu's words. Indeed, the effectiveness of bayonet training has been very obvious during this period.

Because Yao Fan repeatedly emphasized the actual confrontation, the losing party will be punished to run around the field for a kilometer. Even if it is not tired, it will be humiliated. Moreover, everyone wears the protective gear sent by Yao Fan in the bayonet training, so the soldiers do not hesitate in the training, and some even make heavy efforts. Everyone tries to win the confrontation. This As a result, each bayonet confrontation was quite exciting, so that several round-headed wooden fake guns used for confrontation were broken.

Yao Fan said, "When the Qing court knows that we have rebelled, it is necessary to transfer the soldiers to encircle and suppress it. Anyway, it is necessary to collect the salary and the pulling fee, and it is not enough time to give him half a year. According to a batch of new recruits a month, when the imperial soldiers gather, we have also pulled up the team.

At present, I judge that the first batch of people to encircle and suppress Jiaozhou should be the soldiers and garrison battalions urgently mobilized by the surrounding states.

Liu Jinbao took the north port and dock today and killed more than 30 braziers and servants of the customs and taxation departments. It is the company that killed the most today. He patted his chest confidently and said, "I'm not afraid of three or five hundred ordinary officers and soldiers. Don't worry."

Yao Fan nodded and said, "In addition to military training, ideological education must not be relaxed. All companies, including the newly formed recruit companies, must pay close attention to complaints and three investigations to ensure that the soldiers know our policies and know that we are the army fighting the world for the poor, so as to be loyal to our new regime.

These words don't work just by saying it, so the next focus of our work is not only to do a good job in the training of recruits, but also to start fighting local tycoons and divide fields!"
