Chapter 107 The Real Chinese League Meeting
It's normal for Liu Baogui to have questions.
For more than a hundred years, on the land of Borneo, since the foreigners came, the Chinese have not been really strong, and no matter how strong they are, they have not been attacked by the Dutch several times.
The Brooke dynasty in Sarawak is a little weak, but after all, it is British.
British people, the Dutch don't dare to provoke!!!
Hu Chuyuan can also understand Liu's precious doubts. After all, he was afraid of being beaten.
He motioned Liu Baogui not to be so excited. He sat down first and said casually, "You don't have to worry. I have my own plan. First of all, in the past two years, I will find a way to recruit more Chinese from Fujian to reclaim fields here; secondly, I will support you to form an army in Leton, repair forts in the port, and equip an artillery battalion; thirdly, I will find another place to train more troops. When the opportunity is ripe, I will suddenly attack Brooke. The family overthrew. Of course, I will also solve the problems with the British. You just need to follow my plan.
"This...?"
Liu Baogui was still a little hesitant. After a while, he asked, "How many foreign guns can you give me?"
Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you 10,000 foreign guns and dozens of cannons for the time being."
"Ah...!"
Liu Baogui was suddenly shocked and couldn't help exclaiming, "Your Excellency, I'll do it with you!"
In Sarawak, everything is empty. There are guns and cannons.
Not to mention 10,000 foreign guns and dozens of cannons, give him 5,000 foreign guns, and he can kill all the indigenous soldiers in Brooke.
Hearing this, Ye Wenlan smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, you really don't know. To tell you the truth, our Lord Hu is the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, with tens of millions of taels of silver. In the Qing Dynasty, as long as he said a word, the court had to tremble, and several governors in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and southern Fujian had to listen to him. The Fujian sailors were in his control, and the Xiang army, who cried and cried, also relied on him, and the annual military sage was borrowed from him.
"What?"
Liu Baogui's face turned pale, and his legs and stomach began to tremble with fear.
Only then did he know what kind of person Hu Chuyuan was.
This is fucking... terrible.
Why didn't you say it before? It means that Ye Wenlan and Ye Xiangyun know the truth of this Xingang company very well. Like Lanfang Company, it is a gangster community.
Just say it at Letun. In case Liu Baogui has a evil idea and directly leads thousands of people to rush up to play with kidnapping tickets, it's really a big trouble.
At present, everything that should be said is said. The future is bright, and Liu Baogui doesn't play this trick. Besides, it's on the boat now. It's hard to say who will kidnap the ticket!
Hu Chuyuan's heart is very bitter and hateful now, and he can't wait to kill all the Nanyang indigenous and foreigners.
But after all, he is Hu Chuyuan, and he is never in a hurry.
He asked Liu Baogui not to be so excited. He sat down and talked about it again and told him about the future.
You can't be in a hurry at the moment. Even if the guns and guns and guns are shipped, Xingang Company should not be in a hurry to expose its strength. The local indigenous people can fight with deterrence. For Brooke, pay some money and don't be in a hurry to settle accounts with foreigners for the time being.
First, steadily develop the strength of Letu and Xingang Company, and then formally build forts and defense bases to a certain extent, so as not to be taken over by others.
Xingang Company is still valuable to Liu, but he is valuable to Hu Chuyuan.
Hu Chuyuan believes that he understands this truth.
After sending Liu Baogui off the ship, Hu Chuyuan asked Zhang Lingpu to stay. He wanted to discuss the follow-up with him and ask him for his views on this matter.
Zhang Lingpu was also calculating. He said, "It's not that I don't trust Liu Baogui, but they are not worth relying on."
Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "But we can only use them now. What I mean is that Nanyang Company still needs to have its own armed forces, and the New People's Association will be responsible for it."
Zhang Lingpu added, "Your Excellency, in fact, I have been thinking about it these days. I always feel that the meaning of the new nation and new China you mentioned is a little far away. People in Nanyang may not be able to understand. Therefore, I think it's better to change the name to the China League Association, thinking about the things in front of us. The purpose is very simple, to gather the Chinese in Nanyang, form an alliance, and work together.
But anyone who can do something will not blindly obey others. He always has his own brain and will think about problems.
At this point, Zhang Lingpu and Ye Fu are the same.
They like to think about themselves.
Hu Chuyuan thought about it and felt that Zhang Lingpu's truth was very real, so he said, "What you think is reasonable. Just call it Huamenghui!"
Zhang Lingpu smiled happily and said, "I still don't think Xingang Company is worth the effort. What if you organize him too strongly and he won't listen to us in the future?"
Hu Chuyuan said, "This is also what I'm thinking about. Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Lingpu said, "Yes, we are directly miliated. I recruit personnel from them. We are all from Fujian and easy to talk. Three or four thousand people count as one camp. In this place, one camp is enough.
The battalion he said was the camp of the Green Battalion, the Battalion of the Eight Banners, the Hunan Army and the Huai Army, ranging from six or seven hundred to four or five thousand.
Hu Chuyuan thought about it and felt that this idea was very good. The direct militarized management slowly separated these personnel from the China New Port Company and assimilated into a Min army.
He was happier and felt that he really didn't see the wrong person. Zhang Lingpu was a shrewd person.
It's absolutely not wrong to leave this matter to Zhang Lingpu.
Hu Chuyuan happily high-fived and said, "Okay, that's it, but the setting of this camp should be new. I have always thought about it in my heart, and I have also studied the German and French troops in books. I always feel that their methods are better than ours.
Zhang Lingpu said, "I know that when I was in the Ship Administration School, the British instructor said that the armies of the United Kingdom and other countries were divided into seven or eight levels from Division and delegation, which was easy to command, and other people's troops usually gathered together for training. Each of our camps is scattered all over the country to close the roads and collect taxes.
Hu Chuyuan hummed and said, "So, I plan to adopt the three-three system. One battalion is divided into three guards, one guard and three verticals, one vertical and three companies, one company and three rows, one row of three sentries, about ten people per sentry. Of course, this is not limited to death. According to the situation, each guard and each column can be slightly increased, with about 3,000 people per battalion.
Zhang Lingpu thought for a moment and said, "Os, when I have my own people, I will toss around to see the effect. At present, there is no villager around me, and I dare not be presumptuous in other people's territory. When I go back first, I will go back to Fuqing County to recruit hundreds of brothers to do it first, and then go to the old valley in the west of the county to find Hakka brothers. Relying on the relationship with my hometown, I will let them build a bridge to contact the Hakka people. When my own team gets up and comes back to fight with Liu Baogui, I promise that he doesn't even dare to show me the seams.
Fuqing...!
Hu Chuyuan was speechless. Only then did he remember that Zhang Lingpu was powerful. He was actually from Fuqing.
Hehe, Hehe's famous Fuqing Gang.
He said that Zhang Lingpu was indeed much more capable than ordinary people. It turned out that there was a historical atmosphere.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking Zhang Lingpu, "Are there many people in Fuqing who learn martial arts?"
Zhang Lingpuha laughed and said, "It goes without saying that I'm not good at my house. I can't help it. I'm a literati, at least I'm a scholar. In Fuqing, there was a custom of practicing martial arts from generation to generation. I heard from some old people that there was a Shaolin Temple in the area of Mabi Mountain. I heard that it was moved here in the Tang Dynasty, which was probably a skill passed from them. In addition, there is nothing we can do. Fuqing has been plagued with many disasters since ancient times. In the previous dynasty, there were many Japanese pirates and pirates. Later, Zheng Chenggong made a lot of trouble. Later, there was a lot of pirates and Chang Mao. There was nothing I could do. If I didn't learn martial arts, I would die if something happened.
Hu Chuyuan said, "Ouch, this matter can only be done by you. What I mean is that you recruit some really trustworthy brothers first, especially those who are younger. It happens that you and Liu Yongfu have been online, so you will take someone to his place to exercise for a period of time. When fighting, you should also remember to cultivate talents, teach everyone to read more, read more military books, and send people home to recruit while fighting. Slowly, don't be limited to the scope of Fuqing people. The whole southern Fujian will be recruited, and even the two Guangdong and Guangxi will be recruited. After a year of solid exercise, you can go back to Letun to deal with the things here, but you still have to keep people in Vietnam to temper. The troops fighting are useless if they don't pass the test of war.
Zhang Lingpu repeatedly agreed and said, "Your Excellency, as soon as you say this, I understand in my heart. I will follow the path you said, practice the elite camp in Vietnam, and then I will take people to familiarize myself with the terrain and climate of Sarawak. In these places in Nanyang, I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of their weather. As long as I get used to it, no matter how many indigenous foreigners are, they are easy to kill.
People everywhere have their surnames, which is the so-called atmosphere.
Zhang Lingpu's family runs hundreds of mu of tea fields, and he is also a scholar. Such a person has to go to Fuzhou Ship Administration School to study. What is the picture?
He said he wanted to serve the country and the imperial court.
Hu Chuyuan believed what he said, but he felt that he had the heavenly surname of military force in his bones. He thought about the kind of fighting and killing, and wanted to take risks.
The idea of wanting to build his own army has been surging in Hu Chuyuan's heart for several years.
At this moment, it seems to be about to be realized.
He couldn't help but be a little excited. He didn't have time to rest for a while. He talked to Zhang Lingpu all night, talking about his thoughts and views on the army, and what kind of army he wanted.
He wants an iron army with strict discipline, not afraid of death, not afraid of hardship, unremitting hard practice, unremitting study, and all the officers are promoted from the young and studious soldiers.
He wants a modern army, understand the army tactical system of contemporary Western countries, and equip the most advanced weapons in the West.
The soldiers are speedy.
He wants an extremely fast army, which travels 300 miles, and can kill millions of enemies in Nanyang and Vietnam.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Lingpu was also very excited.
Since following Hu Chuyuan, Zhang Lingpu has never admired Hu Chuyuan so much, and has never been so determined to follow Hu Chuyuan all his life.
Hu Chuyuan is a businessman, but he is not an ordinary businessman. He cherish the country and the world.
The most important thing is that he knows how to do what he wants to do in this era.
Of course, Zhang Lingpu also knew very well in his heart that once he tempered this iron army, what the consequences would mean... But he didn't mind so much. Anyway, they were all coming. Nothing in the world was immortal, he thought.
What he cares about is whether he can realize Hu Chuyuan's vision.
People always have to do something in the world.
He just wants to do this.
The two of them have been talking about the dawn for this, as if they have ignited an unquenchable flame in their hearts.
The next day, Liu Baogui came to greet Hu Chuyuan early in the morning. Hu Chuyuan gave him tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was regarded as a start-up capital, asking him to send someone back to Fujian to recruit troops and expand his strength.
Guns will be delivered soon - Hu Chuyuan has a lot of arms in the warehouse of Wanqiyang in Hong Kong last time, which can be transported at any time.
However, it is not as much as Hu Chuyuan promised. Give 3,000 first, which is enough for Xingang Company to protect itself in the local area.
