Chapter 13 Artillery

()

At the entrance of Fengtian City Gate, from outside the city to inside the city, the brigade of soldiers were controlling the scene.

A further away, there was a handsome young man who was standing on the lower side of a red horse. This person was Ye Chong. The nine hundred cavalry behind Ye Chong and three hundred infantry were slowly moving, and a black mass came towards him. Although the speed was not fast, he had a momentum.

Many gentry and civilians crowded to watch the fun.

"Who is that young man?" At that moment, someone in the crowd said in surprise.

"What young man? He is the young general. The newly appointed governor was recruited by him." A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar beside him said.

"Can you become a general at such a young age or be recruited?"

"I don't know anything." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "This young general's origin is not simple. Ye Chong, the famous Panshan Hu Tiger in Liaozhong."

"Whether the tiger in the pan mountain is Chong, isn't that bandit king? My mother, such a beautiful young man can actually become the bandit leader."

"Mr. Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your charm is even more beautiful." Ye Chong bowed to Wang Huaiqing.

Wang Huaiqing smiled cheerfully: "After the order of the Governor, come to welcome your brother. Come and go to the city quickly, don't let the Governor wait for a long time."

"How dare you bother Lord Wang to come here in person? It's really a frightening force." Amid the admiration and surprise of the crowd next to him, Ye Chong deliberately lagged behind Wang Huaiqing and the two of them entered the city one after another.

One thousand two hundred people lined up to enter the schoolyard. Although the team was occasionally confused, there was no big problem and finally did not make a fool of themselves.

"I am humble in my position. Please see the Governor General. Please review it!" Ye Chong dismounted, knelt on one knee, and shouted to Xu Shichang, who was sitting upright on the stage.

"See Governor, please review!" 1,200 people behind Ye Chong also knelt on one knee, and the sound was heard.

Xu Shichang stood up from his seat and took a few steps forward: "You were bandits in the past, but now you are invited by the court. You should change your past mistakes and take advantage of your kindness. You should be loyal to the Empress Dowager, the court, and the emperor!"

"Be loyal to the Empress Dowager, be loyal to the court, be loyal to the emperor, be loyal to the Governor!" These bandits shouted as Ye Chong had told him in advance, and they were also quite good. Xu Shichang nodded secretly.

After passing the scene, the next step is to count the number of people and receive military uniforms and weapons.

"I'll restrain my subordinates later, don't let people beat me up." Seeing his subordinates receiving the weapons and military supplies one by one, Ye Chong was also happy, but he still suppressed Zhao Erhu, He Rui, and Wang Houchun and several other guards to walk towards Wang Houchun who was waiting aside.

"Thank you for your care. I remember my humility." The imitation of Mauser's 88-type Hanyang 79 rifle is 1,300, 30-type rifle is made every day, and 500,000 two-type bullets. Grusen has four 57mm mountain cannons. It is much lighter than the cannons purchased from the Russians, and it is very useful when attacking Du Lishan. If it weren't for Wang Huaiqing's care, there would be no such excellent weapons. That ten thousand taels of silver would be worth it.

"It's all my own people, Xingwu is polite." Wang Huaiqing smiled and said, "The Governor is negotiating with the Japanese. There are some troublesome things, and I can't find time to greet you. I specially told me to treat you well."

"Is the islander here to cause trouble again?" Ye Chong said in surprise.

Wang Huaiqing sighed: "Who said no? These Japanese people are full and have nothing to do all day long. Three days ago, the Japanese nailed wooden stakes more than 90 miles from Tumen to Liudaogou, secretly demarcating our territory into the Korean world, trying to cut the land over. The Governor General sent Wu Luzhen to pull up the wooden stakes overnight and nailed them back to the original border line. The consul who was not Japanese came here to cause trouble. These Japanese people, white, can be said to be black."

"Governor General has done a good job! Our soldiers should take Governor General as an example." Ye Chongjie praised.

"I'm afraid that the Japanese will not give up." Wang Huaiqing shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't say these disappointing words, let's go, I'll have a banquet for you and have a couple of drinks together."

After thirty years of wine and five flavors of food, Wang Huaiqing drank a little too much, his face turned red, and he talked more and more. Of course, the topic was always about how brave Wang Huaiqing was with Admiral Nie back then.

"Mr. Wang, Lord. Wang, the villain happened to be next door to the restaurant. When he heard the great speech of his master, his blood was boiling. He came here to listen to his teachings." Zhang Xian, who was over thirty years old, looked like a village farmer, and his body was black and strong, but he looked flattering.

What surprised Ye Chong next was that Wang Huaiqing actually picked up the wine pot and smashed it towards Zhang Xian.

"It's so numb..." Then a series of unpleasant swear words broke out from Wang Huaiqing's mouth. Wang Huaiqing took a few steps forward, greeting him like he was fists and feet, and only made people scream.

Zhang Xian's colleagues rushed over when they heard the movement. It was not until Wang Huaiqing stopped panting that these colleagues helped Zhang Xian downstairs. The congratulations from time to time could be heard on the stairs.

"Mr. Wang, are you?" Ye Chong said inexplicably: "Why do you get such a big fire? Come and have a cup of tea to eliminate the fire."

"Xingwu, that is, I am my own person, so I don't avoid it. This person is called Zhang Xian. Actually, I want to use it more. I don't fight back when I beat him or scold him. Is this kind of person reliable to use it?" Wang Huaiqing laughed and laughed.

Ye Chong was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he soon came back to his senses and smiled: "Mr. Wang is really unique in his ability to start talents."

"It's not that I'm bragging to you. Under my hands, the military orders are unobstructed. No one dares to go against me yet." Wang Huaiqing's face was proud, and then said, "By the way, Xingwu, you have to help me with something."

"Please tell me that as long as Xingwu can do it, I will never refuse." Ye Chong spared no effort to win over this number one confidant under Xu Shichang.

"That's right. This time, Governor Xu came to the three northeastern provinces to take office. He drew some troops in the fifth and sixth towns to me. There were a few thorns in the artillery battalions and the sergeant battalions. I didn't like it and wanted to kick them out, but it was difficult to resettle. Xingwu, you are about to expand your army. It depends on whether you can accept it. Don't think that these are not good things. In fact, they are quite capable of fighting, but they are just wrong with me." Wang Huaiqing said.

"I'm just a trivial matter here, but after all, it was from the seven towns of the New Army. Will the Governor have any ideas if I get it into my army?" Ye Chong thought for a moment, his face was a little embarrassed, but he laughed in his heart. With four 57mm Gruson mountain cannons, there must be gunners, and training gunners is not a matter of a day or a night. Although Niujiaao also has two guns, it's okay to scare ordinary bandits, but it's a big deal to really pull them onto the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the toilet general Wang Huaiqing suppressed the stranger in the army, and he was so eager to come to his door.

"Don't worry, as long as there is no trouble, the Governor will not take it seriously. If there is any problem, I will hold on to it." Wang Huaiqing patted his chest and promised.

Ye nodded in a key position: "Since Lord Wang has said this, it would be unreasonable to refuse again."

"Xingwu is really good enough. Come and have a drink." Wang Huaiqing picked up the cup and laughed.

On the issue of territory, Xu Shichang and the Japanese must fight for an inch of land. Ye Chong is still very impressed with this, but the combat effectiveness of this army is really unimaginable, but the appointment of a person like Wang Huaiqing as the first confidant.

With this sigh, Ye Chong led his dress-up to leave Fengtian City after he finished his high morale.

"We will have to have dinner in the same big pot in the future. Let's introduce ourselves." Ye Chong looked at the eight people in front of him and said, "He is heroic and powerful, and his spirit is more than one level stronger than the officers and soldiers who have become regular bandits.

"Liu Wenming, Baoding, Class 7 Artillery Department of the Army Quick Training Academy." Liu Wenming, the tallest, looked sophisticated.

"Huang Jianwen, the third class of Baoding class!" Huang Jianwen was a bit fat and had two beards.

"Ma Yu, Artillery Department of Tianjin Military Academy."

"He Guangkai, Baoding Class Issue Department."

"Zhang Yaoqiang, the artillery soldier of the generals of the Guangdong camp."

"Liu Wenxiang, Baoding Department, the fourth squad of the Infantry Division."

"Chen Ergui, Sichuan Martial Artillery."

"Wang Bingnan, artillery soldier of Hubei Martial Arts School."

Wang Huaiqing, a prodigal son, was kicked out. Except for Liu Jianwen and Wang Bingnan, the others either looked arrogant or were a little discouraged. They thought they were not lucky. They moved from elite troops like the fifth and sixth towns to a miscellaneous army like Ye Chong who became a bandit.

"Hu Chun, let the people below get eight horses out." Ye Chong said to the back, then turned around and said, "Let's practice in Niujiaao. If you really have the ability, you are the whistle leader."

"Yes, sir." Hearing the words of the whistle leader, the few people looked relatively good. Although they were miscellaneous old soldiers, they were officers at least.

As soon as he returned to Niujiaao, Ye Chong couldn't wait to let someone pull out a few mountain cannons and let them test the cannons.

Boom, Boom. One round of shells is accurately sent to the target's head and exploded. Occasionally, two deviates, and the next few cannons will be corrected bit by bit.
