Duke Yuan's words made Xiao Duan shake his head slightly: "No, Zhao Yannian did not send a single soldier."
Suddenly, Mr. Yuan was a little surprised, but he was just surprised.
In his position, he only considers the general direction of the country. It is just a small county in Kunshan, which is really not eye-catching.
If Nie Li hadn't been the person he specifically told to pay attention to, this telegram might not have reached his desk at all.
Otherwise, he would have to report to him if he were just a small governor, and he would have nothing to do.
More importantly, the south is not his sphere of influence, and he does not want to get involved for the time being.
"Could it be said that Nie Li relied on a group of gang members to take over Kunshan? When did this old Zhao act like this?"
Mr. Yuan smiled hoarsely.
It's a bit of a bad rule.
Xiao Duan explained: "No, Nie Li has a security team, and this time he used the security team to capture Kunshan."
Mr. Yuan was a little out of his mind, or maybe he didn't wake up.
"You mean, Nie Li defeated the regular army with his security team?"
Xiao Duan heard that Mr. Yuan didn't believe it and said respectfully: "If you knew his firepower configuration, you wouldn't be surprised."
"His security group has 10,000 people, and there are 2,000 gunners. I investigated and found that they are indeed qualified gunners. There are at least 24 artillery pieces. The equipment is all top-notch, and Maxim alone is There are dozens of heavy weapons of this level.
The most important thing is that this is a motorized force. "
"What?"
Hearing such a shocking firepower configuration, even Mr. Yuan was shocked.
"Xiao Duan, you can't joke."
Xiao Duan smiled bitterly: "How dare I speak so freely in front of the Speaker."
"real!"
The look of shock on Mr. Yuan's face was beyond words.
He actually started pacing.
"Which force is he a representative of?"
blurted out.
Mr. Yuan did not believe that a young man of only 24 years old could start such a big battle on his own.
The first reaction was that Nie Li was a puppet supported by a foreign force in order to split China.
This situation is too common.
His expression also became extremely serious. Although Mr. Yuan was criticized by later generations, his achievements and his heart for the country and the people have never changed.
He is a representative figure of the Han people in the late Shuiqing Empire.
No one can deny this.
Xiao Duan said quickly: "According to my investigation, this person has no contact with any forces, and is even a radical nationalist. If the revolutionary parties in the south are causing trouble, then this kid is really a disaster."
As he spoke, he listed out Nie Li's previous feats in the Romantic Country, Gentleman Country and Foot Pot Chicken.
These operations made even Mr. Yuan couldn't help but shout to relieve his anger.
He suffered too much from these empires.
But he couldn't say.
In recent years, since the Westernization Movement, these foreigners have been arrogant and domineering over the people of this land. For the sake of the overall situation, he has to bear the humiliation, hypocrisy and snake.
To this day, even if you have a strong army, you don't dare to fall out with these people casually.
Ultimately, it's still weak.
How can a weak country have diplomacy?
The eternal truth.
Back then, how could the old Ban family dare to enter the empire alone, point their swords at the enemy monarchs, and even dare to say: "Don't move, otherwise the country will be destroyed!"
What kind of spirit is that?
Isn’t there a powerful country supporting him?
If you dare to touch me today, my motherland will destroy you later.
Who dares to move?
Who is not moved?
He, Lao Yuan, has read this piece of history more than once. Every time he reads it, he is shocked by its courage and yearns for it.
However, I didn't expect that today, a little Nie Li would actually do it.
Listen to the short paragraph talking about how Nie Li is domineering in Shendu, how he bullies and dominates the market without giving face to those imperialists.
He didn't feel that Nie Li did anything wrong at all, but felt very happy.
However, after all, people become better with age, so they suppressed the excitement in their hearts.
"Then, where did he get all his equipment? Even Zhao Yannian doesn't have a fully motorized army."
Xiao Duan shook his head: "This is also what I am confused about, but he really has no contact with foreign forces."
Lao Yuan paced and thought.
After a long time, Lao Yuan smiled.
"Whatever, if this guy is really a radical nationalist, he can't hide it. Isn't he just a little Kunshan? Give it to him!"
"Anyway, he is causing trouble in the south. In addition, I will add some fire to the old man, give him a promotion, and give him a regular army formation of a mixed brigade, so that he can cause trouble."
"If this guy can really create an elite army, it will be a good thing for the country. Aren't the pandas and chickens on the back just restless? They have to be used on the edge."
In one sentence, Nie Li's position was confirmed.
Xiao Duan looked at Mr. Yuan with admiration. This kind of courage was the Mr. Yuan in his mind.
Chairman Yuan who single-handedly founded Beiyang and suppressed the entire North China.
Xiao Duan even hoped that Mr. Yuan could live forever.
Only in this way can Beiyang develop and grow, and Beiyang needs such a leader.
Immediately, he thought that there were people in Beiyang who supported him, and there were also people who supported Lao Wang, or that guy Lao Xu.
But Xiao Duan knew deeply that as long as Mr. Yuan was alive, Beiyang would always be named Yuan.
Now, Lao Yuan has not done anything that would cause outrage like restoration, and his prestige is indeed unparalleled in the country.
However, there were many other factors involved in Lao Yuan's restoration, which will be discussed later in the documents.
"Then shall I draw up an order?"
Lao Yuan smiled and nodded: "Go ahead and arrange for someone to keep an eye on that kid."
Xiao Duan retreated.
Lao Yuan looked at the map with jackals and tigers peeping at dividing the entire Chinese territory under the glass partition on the desk, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
"One day, these imperialists will all die!"
Lao Yuan murmured.
Nie Li, who was far away in Kunshan, didn't know that a big pie fell on his head.
At this time, Nie Li was sitting in the middle, commanding the troops to fully occupy and clear up Kunshan.
Since Nie Li's troops occupied Kunshan, gunshots kept ringing out, and the people of Kunshan closed their doors tightly and did not dare to open the door.
Afraid of intruders breaking in.
Especially families with daughters at home are even more afraid.
In this world, rebels are more terrifying than bandits.
However, in the second half of the night, after the gunfire stopped, the entire Kunshan fell into silence. There were only sporadic footsteps on duty, and the rest of the people were ready to rest.
No breaking and entering occurred.
Soldiers from the security regiment, carrying baggage and saluting, laid out the square rolls of folded quilts and mattresses on the streets and alleys.
Just sleeping on the ground on the street.
As the snoring sounded one after another, even the people in the house who were anxious and paying attention to what was going on outside were a little confused.
How come there are so many snoring sounds all of a sudden?
