After Yang Qiu returned to the camp with two imitation Madsen M50s, he immediately detonated the entire camp, even Yue Peng and Zhang Wenjing put down what they were doing after hearing about it and rushed over, Lei Meng and Su Xiaohu, who was assigned by the old man, stood next to the machine gun even more proudly, the more the soldiers surrounded the two of them, the more proud they became, as if it was their credit to get the machine gun ().

Yang Qiu is not like other senior officers, he takes care of his official uniform neatly every day, and also wears a saber for fear that others will not know that he is an officer, but likes to wear ordinary military uniforms.

In addition, Yue Peng and Zhang Wenjing took the opportunity of temporarily acting battalion commanders to promote a large number of young and vigorous grassroots officers, so the atmosphere in the army was much better, and the soldiers became bolder, and asked: "My lord, what kind of machine gun is this?" ”

"The light machine gun, called the Madsen light machine gun in Europe, was imitated by Master Su Hongsheng a few years ago, so I moved it back first and let everyone learn it first." Yang Qiu patted the machine gun and said with a smile: "Who will use it?" ”

"My lord, I studied it when I was in Germany." Yue Peng stood up, walked to the machine gun and fiddled with it a few times, his brows immediately furrowed and said, "My lord, is this bad?" ”

"It's good, but I don't know when it will arrive." Yang Qiu muttered in his heart, glared at him, and said, "Since you have used it, it is up to you to teach everyone to use it." ”

"My lord? We're going to get a machine gun? Zhang Wenjing's eyes lit up, but before he could have a sweet dream, Yang Qiu immediately struck: "Let's talk about it when Beiyang doesn't want it." ”

"Mother, it's Beiyang again, I can't get used to those guys."

"Yes, think about them first in everything, all the guns are made in Germany, and so are the cannons, and they will stuff us with all the eliminated ones, which is really annoying."

"Okay, there will always be a day when we equip ourselves, I heard that this gun is good, it just so happens that Master Su will bring it back and let everyone practice first, although it is broken, it can still be practiced, and let everyone learn more." Hearing the soldiers muttering, Yang Qiu smiled, it seemed that his subtle goal of Beiyang seemed to be effective, and said to Yue Peng: "I can only borrow this gun for half a month, so you can pick more people to practice." ”

"Do you want to practice if it's bad? My lord, do you count as oppressing people with power? "Yue Peng's face is dark, it takes at least three months for Germany to train a machine gunner, and if he is proficient, he has to feed thousands of rounds of ammunition, and he will give half a month on his side, and it is a bad gun ()! There is no chance of live ammunition! Isn't that deliberately playing tricks on yourself?

"Not satisfied? Okay, play a single game with me, and if you win, I didn't say it. ”

And you do a second thunderbolt alone? Isn't it uncomfortable! Yue Peng hurriedly waved his hand, pointed at Lei Meng, who was watching the joke, and said, "Don't mind, you can let me go, if adults have itchy hands, let's go find Lei Meng." ”

"Me?! Oops, I'm sick with a stomach. "How dare Lei Meng go head-to-head with Yang Qiu, during this time, he was fed up with the suffering of one move to defeat the enemy in later generations, he was either strangled by the neck, or he was knocked unconscious for some reason, and he hurriedly fled with urine.

"Haha." Lei Meng, who was usually not afraid of heaven and earth, was scared away, and the soldiers all laughed, and even Qiu Wenbin, who had been paying attention to Yang Qiu, had to admit that he was very friendly with the soldiers. This made them even more worried, because there were already few comrades here, and now that there was such a nemesis, the prospect of wanting to cooperate with the incident suddenly became bleak.

After handing over the matter of training machine gunners to Yue Peng, Zhang Wenjing hurriedly pulled Yang Qiu to the side: "My lord, someone from Hunan has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Someone from Hunan? Who is it? What are you waiting for me? ”

Zhang Wenjing hurriedly explained: "It's Lord Tan Yanmin from the Hunan Council, he was ordered to come to the gun factory to pick up the gun and return to Hunan. ”

Granny Tan? Yang Qiu remembered what happened at the dinner that day, and hurriedly said, "Where are the people?" ”

"Loading at the docks."

The Hanyang Arsenal was located on Dabie Mountain (north side of present-day Guishan Mountain), close to Moon Lake and Hanshui, and shared a wharf with the ironworks.

On the wharf, more than a dozen Hunan soldiers who came to escort the guns were lazy and staggering, which made Tan Yanmin frown, "There is no Hunan army after Zuo Zongtang" This sentence shows the loneliness of the Hunan army, and the army that regained Xinjiang in the southern and northern wars in just a few decades has now disappeared in the long river, leaving only these ruffians with no military discipline in front of them.

Tan Yanmin didn't want to take care of it and couldn't manage it, so he simply looked at the spectacular industrial plant in front of him, and he was secretly envious in his heart.

Although Hunan is also close to the river, it is a world of difference compared with the three towns of Wuchang, the situation has been unstable in recent years, and the number of bandits in the territory has begun to increase, so he is also anxious to transport this batch of guns back to the soldiers to calm the hearts of the people.

Suddenly, a series of neat footsteps came, Tan Yanmin and several managers of the gun factory turned their heads to look, only to see a group of new army soldiers stepping on the same point, trotting all the way with guns on their backs, and did not greet them after falling to the dock, and immediately got down and lined up in two rows, and the head of the shed shouted even more: "Lizheng!" ”

Qi brushed the sound of the sound, startled everyone, without waiting to ask what was going on, the new 42 standard commander Yang Qiu had already walked over with Zhang Wenjing, and after seeing him, Tan Yanmin hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Lord Biaotong, we meet again." ”

"Hehe, there have been a lot of things recently, so Lord Tan has been waiting for a long time, didn't you miss the hour?" After Yang Qiu finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, a few of the soldiers who stood up immediately began to board the ship for inspection, which made the faces of the stewards of the gun factory and those Hunan soldiers change, but they didn't expect that this notorious "full of Tartar lackeys" really treated himself as a dish.

Tan Yanmin was nothing, but he was a little surprised that Yang Qiu was able to perform the 42 standard exercises so obediently in just half a month, looking at these neat and fast 42 standard soldiers, turning his head to look at the undisciplined Hunan army behind him, and sighed in his heart.

"Lord Tan, I'm really sorry, the party has been making trouble everywhere recently, so I have to be careful."

"Hehe, the standard is polite, if everyone is as conscientious as adults, it won't be so messy." Tan Yanmin smiled slightly, beckoned Yang Qiu to board the cargo ship together.

The small cabin was full of long wooden boxes, and after Hu Laosan and the soldiers carefully checked it, he immediately saluted: "Report, Hanyang made 1,000 bullets, 30 boxes of bullets, and verified that they are correct." ”

Yang Qiu casually took out a Hanyang-made one from the box, demonstrated it a few times, and praised: "Good gun." ”

Tan Yanmin glanced at Hu Laosan and the others, and said with a smile: "No matter how good the gun is, it is not as good as the soldiers, these soldiers are really envious of Yanmin." ”

Yang Qiu smiled secretly, he took Hu Laosan and them out to let Tan Yanmin see his neat military appearance and military discipline, and leave an impression on this "Granny Tan", Hunan is the land of fish and rice, and it will be of great use in the future, not to mention that what he lacks most now is political power, and the constitutionalists can still use it, so they will talk about it first, so that they will not have no topics for each other when the time comes.

Seeing that he had succeeded, he didn't say more, immediately took out the seal and pressed it on the official document, and deliberately smiled: "I love to hear Lord Tan's words, since we people choose to carry guns, we must shoulder the responsibility of ensuring the safety of one party!" Therefore, no matter how good the gun is, it must be handed over to the person who can use it, and even if the person who can't use it has a good heart, I am afraid that the result can only be chaos! ”

Tan Yanmin was just about to reach out to receive the official document, when he heard this, his fingers trembled suddenly, and he raised his head and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Lord Tan, don't get me wrong, Yang Qiu also has a feeling, I just hope that everyone who uses guns in the world can use them well, keep them in prison, and don't let guns become a disaster." Yang Qiu's naughty heart rose, and he suddenly leaned into his ear: "If your lord is promoted to the governor of Hunan one day, don't forget to invite me to drink!" Hehe, farewell. ”

Xiangdu?

Looking at the back of Yang Qiu's departure, Tan Yanmin's heart suddenly shook, and his eyebrows were even squeezed together, not to mention that the Great Qing Kingdom did not have the official title of Xiangdu at all, even if he had his qualifications, I am afraid that it would not be able to take his turn for the time being, but there was something in his words, what was he implying in the end?
