Looking at these clumsy weapons and the pitiful lack of bullets, Xu Luowu realized firsthand how difficult it was for his predecessors on Blue Star in his previous life. To achieve victory with these weapons, it took a lot of determination.
It has to be said that the Dongyi people are beasts, but their fighting belief and individual soldier quality are indeed good, especially their shooting skills, which are far superior to the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom.
Of course, excellent marksmanship is fed by bullets. Xu Luowu firmly believes that as long as there are enough bullets, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom can do the same. As for their fighting belief, they will definitely surpass the Dongyi people.
As far as he knows, the current Dongyi army in the Northeast is equipped with at least 120 rounds of ammunition per soldier, and the average soldier of the Qing court only has a few rounds of ammunition per person. Even the new army in Yuan Shikai's Six Beiyang Towns Elite, each soldier only has dozens of bullets on average.
The military supplies provided by the Governor-General's Internal Affairs Office were given by his cheap father, including 30,000 Mannlicher straight-action rifles and one million rounds of bullets, but currently they only have 600,000 rounds.
There are thirty Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns and no light machine guns. In addition, there are military uniforms, sabers and many revolvers.
These equipment were very poor in Xu Luowu's opinion, but compared to the later warlord separatist regimes, they were pretty good.
After Xu Luowu checked, he immediately distributed them.
At present, he still has the most important thing, which is to find a commander for him. If he wants to make the country rich and the people strong, he still needs to do a lot, and he must not get caught here.
Once Xu Shichang leaves the Northeast region and transfers someone else to serve as the governor of the Northeast, it will be bad.
It is quite easy to recruit 20,000 soldiers from three provinces. These people are relatively young, none of them smoke, and basically have no criminal record. The more than 100 soldiers borrowed from Wang Huaiqing can teach them the basics of the military camp and familiarize them with it. About firearms and so on.
Arrive at the Governor's Palace.
"Dad, I want to hire someone from you, and I also want dad to help me recruit a few more people."
Xu Shichang frowned slightly, showing suspicion.
"Who do you want?"
"Yang Yuting is studying abroad at the Dongyi Military Academy and is about to graduate. He is a very talented person. He was sent to study abroad at our Fengtian government expense. You are still in this position. Call him back immediately before it is too late."
Although Yang Yuting had acted disloyalty in his past life, he finally pulled back from the brink. He was a good hand in diplomacy. This person must be taken down. He firmly believed that under his management, Yang Yuting would never act disloyal.
"The other person you invited is Zhang Xiaozhun, the staff member who just arrived."
Zhang Xiaozhun was known as the "Three Outstanding Non-Commissioned Officers", but unfortunately he was buried and his talents were not put to use.
"There is another person, Jiang Baili. Dad, you should know that he has just entered the official career and is full of hope. He can be said to be a blank slate. I know that Dad has good relations and face in the DPRK, especially his relationship with Uncle Yuan. Although Uncle Yuan is about to go back to Xianfu at home, the Six Beiyang Towns and even the entire Army Department will listen to his words. Dad, if you ask, I believe Uncle Yuan will give you this thin noodles."
"In addition, he works in the Army Ordnance Department of the imperial court. This person's name is Han Linchun. He is just an unknown official. It should not be difficult for someone to transfer him to the Northeast. There is also Jiang Chengxuan, who has just returned from Dongyi Kingdom. , many local governors will invite them to come over to experience the new army, and this person and others at the same time will come over."
"The other person is in the sentry team of Shengjing General Yamen. This person's name is Guo Songlin."
Xu Shichang was known as the "tax fox" and he could be said to have both sides in the officialdom. Many people in the court had good relationships with him. In addition to Yuan Datou's relationship with him, these people basically had no problems.
Xu Shichang was in shock at this time, looking at Xu Luowu in disbelief. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that this was his cub. Even he didn't know where these people were currently. , Xu Luowu's heart is like a mirror.
Could it be that this little brat had already secretly planned it and everything in the past was just an act? No matter how hard you try, you can't figure it out. All you need to do is confirm that the person in front of you is your son.
He is called the Crystal Fox, but the attitude towards Lao Maozi and the Dongyi people in the Northeast is also very tough. Since his son is ready to fight a big war and a new army has been formed, he will naturally support him to the end.
"Tomorrow I will ask Zhang Xiaozhun to go to your military camp. The other guy named Guo Songlin will be transferred to your military camp in a while. As for their positions, you can decide. Yang Yuting, I will have someone send a message to him immediately and ask him to send him a message as soon as possible. Rush back to Fengtian in time.”
"Han Linchun, Jiang Baili, Jiang Chengxuan and those talents who have returned from studying abroad, I will use my old face to get them all over as much as possible."
When Xu Luowu heard this, he was ecstatic and a little moved. His father was indeed willing to sacrifice anything for him. In the memory of his previous life, Xu Shichang would not do something so forcefully, and he would not offend anyone, so he was called the "Crystal Fox".
"Thank you, Dad! Dad, I will compile a list for you when the time comes and drag all these people to the Northeast. Talent is the most important thing. The Qing government has exhausted its power. I believe that as long as you give benefits to those in the court, they will definitely let go. People are here.”
Xu Shichang's deep eyes flashed with light, and he smiled with joy and pride.
"Luo Wu, it seems that you have really changed. You also understand a lot about the situation in the DPRK. You are right, these people are not in important positions. They may be talents, but most of them have not yet With their light shining out, it’s pretty easy to leave them at this time.”
During the conversation, there was a complex look in his deep eyes, and he sighed.
"It seems that your father and I have to try our best to at least stay in the position of Governor of the Northeast for a while."
Xu Luowu frowned slightly, and a look of doubt flashed across his face.
"Dad, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the transfer order has been issued?"
In his memory, Zaifeng should have mobilized Xu Shichang to leave the Northeast in 1709. Could it be that in this world, because of his appearance, the situation changed?
What Xu Shichang said next made him suddenly realize.
"No, but it should be soon. I didn't want to mention it to you before, because it was useless to tell you. But it's different now, and dad is very happy."
The pride and joy in his eyes could not be concealed.
"A good friend of mine in the court told me in a secret letter that the regent is preparing to transfer me from the position of governor of Northeast China. As for why, you should know. My relationship with your uncle Yuan Shikai is well known. The new armies of the six towns in Beiyang are all under your control. In the hands of Uncle Yuan. The Northeast is located alone outside the customs and has a special geographical location. As the governor, I have overall military and political power, so the regent will definitely regard me as a thorn in his side."
"Uncle Yuan has just resigned, and the regent doesn't dare to force me too hard. I should be transferred from the position of governor of the Northeast after a while. Therefore, I originally planned to take the initiative to submit a letter to resign from the position of governor after the year, in order to retire. Come in. Now it seems that I can’t do this.”
